In this study, cross-cultural comparison of sound sensation for Korean traditional silk fabrics between Korea and America was performed and prediction models for sound sensation by objective measurements including sound parameters such as level pressure of total sound (LPT), Zwicker's psychoacoustic characteristics, and mechanical properties by Kawabata Evaluation System were established for each nation to explore the objective parameters explaining sound sensation of the Korean traditional silk. As results, Koreans felt the silk fabric sounds soft and smooth while Americans were revealed as perceiving them hard and rough. Both Koreans and Americans were pleasant with sounds of Gongdan and Newttong and especially Newttong was preferred more by Americans in terms of sound sensation. In prediction models, some of subjective sensation were found as being related mainly with mechanical properties of traditional silk fabrics such as surface and compressional characteristics.

In this paper the problem of measuring the stochastic dependence among sets fo random variates is considered, and attention is specifically directed to forming a single well-defined measure of the dependence among sets of normal variates. A new information theoretic measure of the dependence called dependence index (DI) is introduced and its several properties are studied. The development of DI is based on the generalization and normalization of the mutual information introduced by Kullback(1968). For data analysis, minimum cross entropy estimator of DI is suggested, and its asymptotic distribution is obtained for testing the existence of the dependence. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the performance of the estimator, and show that is is useful not only for evaluation of the dependence, but also for independent model testing.

According to a popularization of the Internet and digital lifestyle, digital watermarks have been proposed for protection of copyrighted multimedia content. In blind watermark detection, which an original image is not provided, robustness against geometric distortion and compression remains challenging. In this paper, we propose a new perceptual blind discrete wavelet transform - discrete Fourier transform (DWT-DFT) composite watermarking scheme that is robust against both general linear transform and JPEG compression. This algorithm constructs an image-dependent watermark in the most significant DWT coefficients, which is determined by using a hierarchical tree structure. Strength of watermark is determined from a just-noticeable difference (JND) profile of a perceptual model. Furthermore, a desired template is inserted into DFT domain of the watermarked image. In new manner, a cross-ratio of four collinear points is used for detecting the template. Experimental results have showed that the proposed scheme is robust against general linear distortion, JPEG compression and various general kinds of attacks in the Stirmark 3.1 watermark evaluation tool.

Although significant progress has been made in synthesizing visually realistic face images by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), there still lacks effective approaches to provide fine-grained control over the generation process for semantic facial attribute editing. In this work, we propose a novel cross channel self-attention based generative adversarial network (CCA-GAN), which weights the importance of multiple channels of features and archives pixel-level feature alignment and conversion, to reduce the impact on irrelevant attributes while editing the target attributes. Evaluation results show that CCA-GAN outperforms state-of-the-art models on the CelebA dataset, reducing Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and Kernel Inception Distance (KID) by 15~28% and 25~100%, respectively. Furthermore, visualization of generated samples confirms the effect of disentanglement of the proposed model.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ECFA impacted the efficiency of banks in China and Taiwan from 2008 to 2017. This study follows Seiford and Zhu (2002), who recommend using the standard data envelopment analysis model to measure performance by increasing the desirable outputs and decreasing the undesirables. The finding was that overall technical efficiency increased from 2012 to 2017, reaching 0.575, 0.652, 0617, 0.689, 0.701 and 0.74, respectively. This result implies bank efficiency did indeed improve after China and Taiwan signed the ECFA cooperation agreement. The study found that the mean technical efficiency was 0.8756 in China, greater than Taiwan's mean of 0.3511, implying that Chinese banks experienced a greater increase in efficiency after signing the EFCA. One possible reason explored in this study is that China's economy is currently growing at the highest rate in the world, and the banks' efficiency has benefited from greater economic growth. This suggests that cross-strait sustained negotiations to consummate an agreement on trade in the services will be a very important mission in the future. This result also provides significant evidence suggesting that not accounting for undesirable output while estimating the evolution of the model may seriously distort efficiency results.

This is the study to stir up importance in bakery and to present evaluation of menu goods in barkery of tourist hotels. In order to achieve the purpose of this paper, it is gone ahead of the literature review including the previous research on the manu goods evaluation of tourist hotels. The major field research is to build a frame of the paper and present the model to release my humble theory. The limitation of the study was to make much of literature basis due to insufficient previous research on the issue. This is an unprecedented study on bakery department in tourist hotels in Korea thus no research model was unavailable for cross reference or comparative research. The evaluation of bakery menu good is directly related to the satisfaction of tourist hotels bakery consumers and we need a substantial managerial development method of bakery menu goods. This study has two goals in line with the purpose of investigation, that is to say, by understanding vital statistics of consumer and influence factor were created, and finally the factors and consumers and professional worker identified. The study would be framed into 5 parts like introduction, literature review, inquiry a plan and analysis method, consequence and discussion & conclusion. After the exploitative research, the study was approached to make findings through the questionnaires designed to find the relationship factor between consumer's evaluation and professional worker's evaluation of bakery menu goods in tourist hotels.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) demonstrated a method for monitoring the performance of instrument channels in Topical Report (TR) 104965, 'On-Line Monitoring of Instrument Channel Performance.' This paper presents the results of several models originally developed by EPRI to monitor three nuclear plant sensor sets: Pressurizer Level, Reactor Protection System (RPS) Loop A, and Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Loop A Steam Generator (SG) Level. The sensor sets investigated include one redundant sensor model and two non-redundant sensor models. Each model employs an Auto-Associative Kernel Regression (AAKR) model architecture to predict correct sensor behavior. Performance of each of the developed models is evaluated using four metrics: accuracy, auto-sensitivity, cross-sensitivity, and newly developed Error Uncertainty Limit Monitoring (EULM) detectability. The uncertainty estimate for each model is also calculated through two methods: analytic formulas and Monte Carlo estimation. The uncertainty estimates are verified by calculating confidence interval coverages to assure that 95% of the measured data fall within the confidence intervals. The model performance evaluation identified the Pressurizer Level model as acceptable for on-line monitoring (OLM) implementation. The other two models, RPS Loop A and RCS Loop A SG Level, highlight two common problems that occur in model development and evaluation, namely faulty data and poor signal selection

2거더 강교량의 건설 효율성 등을 위해서는 구조형식, 특히 가로보를 포함하는 구조계의 거동평가에 기초한 효율적이고 합리적인 설계기준 등의 제시가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 2거더 강교량에서 하중전달 역할을 하는 가로보의 위치, 간격 및 강성의 영향인자가 2거더 강교량의 거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 합리적인 가로보 배치 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 기존 2거더 강교량을 대상교량으로 선정하고 가로보 특성을 적절하게 평가할 수 있는 몇가지 구조 모델링에 대해 구조해석을 실시한 결과, 가로보의 모델은 국부적인 응력집중과 바닥판의 하중분배 효과를 고려할 수 있는 쉘요소 및 솔리드 요소가 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 쉘요소 및 솔리드 요소를 사용하여 가로보의 배치 위치, 배치 간격 및 강성을 변수로 구조해석을 실시하여 효율적인 가로보 설계기준을 제시하였다.

컬럼-기반 데이터베이스 저장소는 우수한 입출력 성능으로 대용량 데이터 분석 시스템을 위한 매우 진보적인 모델이다. 전통적인 데이터 저장소는 빠른 쓰기 연산을 위하여 한 레코드의 속성들을 하드 디스크에 연속적으로 배치되어 있는 가로-지향 저장 모델을 활용하였다. 하지만 검색이 대부분인 데이터웨어하우스 시스템을 위해서는 월등한 판독 성능 때문에 컬럼-지향 저장소가 더 적합한 모델이 되고 있다. 또한 최근에는 MLC 플래시 메모리를 사용한 SSD가 고속 데이터 분석 시스템을 위한 적합한 저장 매체로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속 컬럼-지향 데이터 저장소 모델을 도입하고, 고속 컬럼-지향 데이터웨어하우스 시스템을 위한 교차 압축 이중화를 활용하는 새로운 저장소 관리 기법을 제안한다. 본 저장소 관리 기법은 두 개의 MLC SSD에 기반하며, 압축과 비압축된 세그먼트의 교차 이중화를 통하여 높은 CPU 및 입출력 부하에서도 우수한 저장 성능과 안정성을 얻는다. 성능 평가 결과를 통하여 본 저장소 관리 기법이 기존 기법보다 컬럼 세그먼트 갱신 처리치 및 그 응답시간 측면에서 더 우수함을 확인하였다.
