  • In speech signal processing, speech signal corrupted by noise should be enhanced to improve quality. Usually noise estimation methods need flexibility for variable environment. Noise profile is renewed on silence region to avoid effects of speech properties. So we have to preprocess finding voice region before noise estimation. However, if received signal does not have silence region, we cannot apply that method. In this paper, we proposed SNR estimation method for continuous speech signal. A Speech signal consists of Voice and Unvoiced Band in The MBE excitation model. And the energy of speech signal is mostly distributed on voiced region, so we can estimate SNR by the ratio of voiced region energy to unvoiced. We use the IMBE vocoder for the Voice or Unvoice band of segmented speech signal. Continuously we calculate the segmented SNR using that information and the energy of each band. And we estimate the SNR of continuous speech signal.

  • This paper presents the development and application of electrical resistance imaging techniques for the visualization of two-phase flow fields. Two algorithms, the so-called the mesh grouping and the boundary estimation, are described for potential applications of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and results from extensive numerical simulations are also presented. In the electrical resistance imaging for two-phase flows, numerical meshes fairly belonging to each phase can be grouped to improve the reconstruction performance. In many cases, the detection of phase boundary is a key subject and a mathematical model to estimate phase boundary can be formulated in a different manner. Our results indicated that the mesh grouping algorithm is effective to enhance computational performance and image quality, and boundary estimation algorithm to determine the phase boundary directly.

  • A simple, but effective on-line method for estimating the mycelial cell mass concentration from agitation speed data, a most readily-available process variable, has been developed for DO-stat cultures of Agaricus blazei. The dynamic change of dissolved oxygen concentration (DOC) in the initial transient period and the change in yield were considered in the development of the estimation algorithm or estimator. Parameters in the estimation algorithm were calculated from the agitation speed data at 20% of DOC. The proposed estimator could accurately predict the cell mass concentration regardless of DOC levels in the tested range of $10{\sim}40%$, showing a good extrapolation capability.

  • This study is to find out the emission estimation in Kimhae area. For this purpose, the Kimhae statistical yearbook and data of waste facilities issued by Kimhae city and the report on energy census issued by the ministry of trade, industry and energy are used. Each item for the emission estimation is $SO_2$, CO, HC, Nox, TSP from point, line, area sources. The results were as follows; The air pollutants with the highest mont of emission from the emission sources is CO followed by Nox, $SO_2$, TSP, HC in descending order of magnitude. The emission consists of 66.15% of line, 24.65% of area and 9.20% of point sources at Kimhae.
