This paper proposes a new F0 contour model for intonation control in speech synthesis. We assume that the F0 contour of an utterance can be described using a sequence of time-overlapping events, which determine the fluctuation of a given F0 contour, described by asymmetric Gaussian functions. In addition, We propose a parameter estimation algorithm for the proposed model. The proposed model is not developed with a particular phonological theory in mind, and can be used in both F0 contour analysis and synthesis. For testing our F0 model, we collected 500 sentences from various genres and built a corresponding speech corpus uttered by a professional female announcer. As n result of F0 resynthesis experiment using the proposed model, the RMSE was 7.87Hz for given speech corpus.

주어진 제어대상 모델에 대하여 제어기를 구성하여 실제로 적용하는 경우 모델의 불일치, 모델링에서 고려하지 않은 외란(disturbance), 측정잡음등에 의하여 성능이 설계시와 달라진다. 실제적용에서도 성능을 계속 유지하기 위하여 제어기는 안정성, 계수변화(parameter variation)에 대한 강인성(robustness), 외란상쇄(disturbance rejection) 및 측정잡음에 둔감함등의 특성을 가져야 한다. 귀환(feedback)을 사용하여 제어기를 구성하는 경우 위의 모든 조건을 만족 시킬 수 없으므로 제어목적에 따라 적당한 조건을 선정하여 중요한 특성을 주로 갖게 한다. 본 논문에서는 쌍동선(small waterplane area twin hull ship-SWATHS)에 대하여 PID, LQ, LQG 제어기를 구성하여 안정성, 계수 변화에 대한 강인성, 외란 상쇄 및 측정잡음의 영향을 비교하였다. 쌍동선의 경우 다른 단동선(mono hull ship)에 비하여 접수면(waterplane)이 적으므로 무게증변을 흡수할 수 있는 복원력이 약하여 적은 외력에도 상하동요(heave)와 종동요(pitch)가 심하게 일어난다. 이러한 동요를 줄이는 것이 쌍동선의 제어목적이다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 선형화된 수직축 운동방정식을 이용하여 선체운동의 모델을 구했으며 중첩의 원리(super-position theorem)에 의하여 주파수 응답의 합으로 파도입력을 모델링 하였으며 제어를 위하여 필요한 측정치는 IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit)에서 제공된다고 가정하였다. 쌍동선의 동요의 원인은 파도, 바람, 조류 등이 있으나 파도에 의한 영향이 가장 크므로 본 논문에서는 파도에 의한 영향만을 고려하였다. 파도는 쌍동선에 외란으로 작용하며 측정할 수 없는 양이므로 PID, LQ 제어에서는 제어모델에 포함되지 않지만 LQG 제어에서는 제어모델에 포함된다. LQG 제어의 경우 제어모델에 파도를 백색잡음으로 가정하고 제어기를 구성한 것 (LQG1)과 2차의 쉐이핑필터(shaping filter)를 사용하여 구성한 것(LQG2)으로 나누었다.

The physicochemical parameters of honey are used to determine the botanic origin of honey and to specify the composition criteria for honey in regulations and standards. The parameters of honeydew and blossom honeys from Korean beekeepers were determined to investigate whether they complied with the composition criteria for honey in the food code legislated by Korean authority and to establish the parameters which should be subjected to principal component analysis for improved differentiation of honeys. The fructose and glucose contents of the honeydew honey did not comply with the composition criteria. The ash content of the honey was closely correlated with CIE a^* and CIE L^* The principal component analysis of fructose to glucose ratio, CIE a^*, CIE L^*, ash content, free acidity, and fructose and glucose contents enabled classification of honeydew, chestnut, multifloral, and acacia honeys. Additional advantage of the principal component analysis (PCA) is that the physicochemical parameters, such as fructose to glucose ratio (F/G) and color, can be determined using the analytical instruments for composition criteria and quality control of honey. This study suggested that composition criteria for honeydew honey should be established in the food code in accordance with international standards. The principal component analysis reported in this study resulted in improved classification of the honeys from Korean beekeepers.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) generally work in complex marine environments. Any fault in AUVs may cause significant losses. Thus, system reliability and automatic fault diagnosis are important. To address the actuator failure of AUVs, a fault diagnosis method based on the Gaussian particle filter is proposed in this study. Six free-space motion equation mathematical models are established in accordance with the actuator configuration of AUVs. The value of the control (moment) loss parameter is adopted on the basis of these models to represent underwater vehicle malfunction, and an actuator failure model is established. An improved Gaussian particle filtering algorithm is proposed and is used to estimate the AUV failure model and motion state. Bayes algorithm is employed to perform robot fault detection. The sliding window method is adopted for fault magnitude estimation. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are verified through simulation experiments and experimental data.

The objective of this study is to present an efficient measurement method of the effective thermal diffusivity for the fibrous insulation material. The non-linear parameter estimation (NPE) method is adapted for this analysis because of its accuracy and its results are compared with those by other direct methods such as CTP, CHP and STD method. A experimental system is constructed with bell-jar vaccum chamber, diffusion pump, tube type furnace, control unit and data acquisition system included with A/D converter and IBM XT/AT personal computer. The typical results obtained from this study are as follows; 1) NPE method can be recommended as an useful and accurate method to measure the effective thermal diffusivity of insuation material because it is shown that the measurement error compared with those by other direct methods is reduced for standard material, NBS-1450b. 2) NPE method can minimize the effects of ill-measured temperature due to external disturbance, because the final value is found by point to point estimating. 3) NPE method dose not depend on the kinds of heat flux, since the surfac temperature are used to estimate the thermal diffusivity. 4) With NPE method, compared with the steady state method, a measuring time and a sample size could be reduced.

In this paper, the steady 2-dimensional model for a long horizontal line with different end temperatures undergoing natural convection at very high Rayleigh number is proposed to numerically investigate the heat transfer and flow characteristics. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm which is developed using control volumes and staggered grids. The numerical results are verified by comparison with the operating PWR test data. The analysis focuses on the effects of variation of the heat transfer rates at the pipe surface, the thermal conductivities of the pipe material and the thickness of the pipe wall on the thermal stratification. The results show that the heat transfer rate at the pipe surface is the controlling parameter. A significant reduction and disappearance of thermal stratification phenomenon is observed at the Biot number of 5.0$\times$10$^{-2}$. The results also show that the increment of the thermal conductivity and thickness of the wall weakens the thermal stratification and somewhat reduces azimuthal temperature gradient in the pipe wall. Those effects are however minor, when compared with those due to the variation of the heat transfer rates at the surface of the pipe wall.

Global climate change resulted in unwarranted change in global temperature and caused heat and cold stress, which are consider major threat to agriculture productivity around the world. The use of plant growth-promoting microbes is an eco-friendly strategy to counteract such stresses and confer tolerance to the plants. In current study, previously isolated endophytic fungi Preussia sp. BSL-10 has been found to produce phytohormones such as IAA and GA and as such, endophyte Preussia sp. BSL-10 found to induced tolerance against heat and cold stress. The results showed that under both heat and cold stress the plant growth parameter such as shoot, root length, shoot fresh weight and root fresh weight is higher in Preussia sp. BSL-10 treated plants as compare to free Preussia sp. BSL-10 control plants. In addition, the stress-sensitive endogenous ABA levels were significantly increased in Preussia sp. BSL-10 host plant. The current result suggest that the phytohormone-producing endophyte Preussia sp. BSL-10 can increase plant resistance toheat and cold stress, in turn improving agricultural productivity.

WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) System is a communication technology to monitor system failure and vehicle functions and management services to prevent possible incidents of driving a vehicle. In this paper, we have designed and implemented the mutual message processing through parameter between WME management module that manages WAVE system and MLME that manages the upper layer MAC(Media Access Control) module. Also, in order to verify the validity, we have carried out experiments to compare the speed of data processing by dividing data of 1Mbyte, 2Mbyte, 3Mbyte into the packets of 2KByte and 4KByte. Experiments data processing speed of 2KByte packet were shown about 173.62ms in 1MByte, 2MByte about 352.61ms, 3MByte about 550.13ms and, data processing speed of 4KByte packet, 1MByte approximately 87.56ms, 2MByte about 177.94ms, 3MByte about 277.18ms. Therefore, in WAVE system, the mutual messages processing through the parameters between WME and MLME module can be utilized in the various service of ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems) depending on the speed of data processing.

In today's organization, measurement plays a crucial role in helping improve process or quality. In this paper, we review the measurement error study, classical gauge repeatability and reproducibility study, and designed experiment suited for the determination of the measurement capability. Measurement error study is very simple to use but is rather crude. Hence, it should be used as a preliminary study to determine whether further study is necessary. Classical gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) study is the most common technique for evaluation of gauge capability. It calculates a percentage that relates the repeatability, reproducibility, and overall R&R to the specification range for the parameter measured. Hence, the individual repeatability and reproducibility statistics will indicate the area on which to concentrate. However, GR&R study only gives a point estimate of each component, which leaves a room for improvement. It is always good to integrate the use of control charts to ascertain the statistical stability of the measurement process. The tools of statistical experimental design are available for a comprehensive design and analysis of the measurement process. Hence, in this paper, we present gauge capability analysis as an experimental design problem and compare it with the classical GR&R study.
