In this letter, closed-form approximations for outage probability and symbol error rate are presented for a selective decode-and-forward relay network with partial channel information. An independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading environment is considered. Numerical and simulated results demonstrate the validity of the analytical results.

Radiotherapy patients should maintain their treatment position as patient setup is very important for accurate treatment. In this study, we evaluated patient setup error quantitatively according to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Gamma Density Analysis using Mobius CBCT. The adjusted setup error to the $QUASAR^{TM}$ phantom was moved artificially in the superior and lateral direction, and then we acquired the CBCT image according to the phantom setup error. To analyze the treatment setup error quantitatively, we compared values suggested in the CBCT system with the Mobius CBCT. This allowed us to evaluate the setup error using CBCT Gamma Density Analysis by comparing the planning CT with the CBCT. In addition, we acquired the 3D-gamma density passing rate according to the gamma density criteria and phantom setup error. When the movement was adjusted to only the phantom body or 3 cm diameter target inserted in the phantom, the CBCT system had a difference of approximately 1 mm, while Mobius CBCT had a difference of under 0.5 mm compared to the real setup error. When the phantom body and target moved 20 mm in the Mobius CBCT, there are 17.9 mm and 13.5 mm differences in the lateral and superior directions, respectively. The CBCT gamma density passing rate was reduced according to the increase in setup error, and the gamma density criteria of 0.1 g/cc/3 mm has 10% lower passing rate than the other density criteria. Mobius CBCT had a 2 mm setup error compared with the actual setup error. However, the difference was greater than 10 mm when the phantom body moved 20 mm with the target. Therefore, we should pay close attention when the patient's anatomy changes.

Coded cooperation that integrates channel coding in cooperative transmission has gained a great deal of interest in wireless relay networks. The performance analysis of coded cooperation protocol with multiple relays is investigated in this paper. We show that the diversity order achieved by the coded cooperation in a multi-relay wireless network is not only dependent on the number of cooperating relays but is also dependent on the code-rate of the system. We derive the code-rate bound, which is required to achieve the full diversity gain of the order of cooperating nodes. The code-rate required to achieve full diversity is a linearly decreasing function of the number of available relays in the network. We show that the instantaneous channel state information (CSI)-based relay selection can effectively alleviate this code-rate bound. Analysis shows that the coded cooperation with instantaneous CSI-based relay selection can achieve the full diversity, for an arbitrary number of relays, with a fixed code-rate. Finally, we develop tight upper bounds for the bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) of the relay selection based on coded cooperation under a Rayleigh fading environment. The analytical upper bounds are verified with simulation results.

Metaheuristic algorithms can work well in solving or optimizing problems, especially those that require approximation or do not have a good analytical solution. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of these algorithms. The response quality of these algorithms depends on the objective function and its regulated parameters. The nonlinear nature of the pressurized light-water nuclear reactor (PWR) dynamics is a significant target for PSO. The two-point kinetics model of this type of reactor is used because of fission products properties. The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is intended to control the power level of the PWR at a short-time transient. The absolute error (IAE), integral of square error (ISE), integral of time-absolute error (ITAE), and integral of time-square error (ITSE) objective functions have been used as performance indexes to tune the PID gains with PSO. The optimization results with each of them are evaluated with the number of function evaluations (NFE). All performance indexes achieve good results with differences in the rate of over/under-shoot or convergence rate of the cost function, in the desired time domain.

In this paper, to analyze the types of surface morphology error according to factors that cause machining error, the experiments were conducted in the ultra-precision diamond machine using a diamond tool. The factors causing machining error were classified into the pressure variation of compressed air, external shock, tool errors, machining conditions (rotational speed and feed rate), tool wear, and vibration. The pressure variation of compressed air causes a form accuracy error with waviness. An external shock causes a ring-shaped surface defect. The installed diamond tool for machining often has height error, feed-direction position error, and radius size error. The types of form accuracy error according to the tool's errors were analyzed by CAD simulation. The surface roughness is dependent on the tool radius, rotational speed, and feed rate. It was confirmed that the surface roughness was significantly affected by tool wear and vibration, and the surface roughness of Rz 0.0105 ㎛ was achieved.

본 연구의 목적은 VLCC(Very Large Crude Oil Carrier) 운임에 영향을 미치는 주요 결정요인의 장기적 탄성치를 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 영국 해운 전문 기업인 클락슨이 공표하는 연간 VLCC 운임을 종속변수로, 원유(Crude oil) 물동량, VLCC 선복량, 벙커유 가격, Libor 금리를 설명변수로 사용하였다. 본 연구는 벡터오차수정모형(Vector Error Correction Model; VECM)을 사용하여 운임 결정 장기균형함수를 추정하였으며, 추정결과 물동량 1.0% 증가 시 운임 6.4% 증가, 선복량 1.0% 증가 시 운임 1.9% 감소, 벙커유 가격 1.0% 증가 시 운임 0.3% 감소, 금리 1.0% 증가 시 운임은 0.18% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 벙커유 가격의 경우 일반적인 직관과 반대되는 마이너스(-) 부호로 계수가 추정되었는데, 이는 설명변수 중 벙커유 가격이나 금리 등의 2차 변수가 운임에 미치는 영향력은 적은 반면 직접적인 수급 변수가 운임을 결정하는 주요 요인이기 때문인 것으로 이해된다. 후속연구에서 컨테이너선, 건화물선 등 다른 선종들을 대상으로 연구를 수행하고 다양한 선종별 운임의 결정요인을 비교 분석하는 것이 필요하다.

Automation and mechanization of work make people put the machine into operation and control the state of operation. In the process of those works they are apt to have accidents caused by their carelessness. To reduce such accidents, we can practice "TOUCH '||'&'||' CALL", which is to indicate and ascertain the dangerous parts at every process before performing tasks. The objectives of this study are to examine the effects of S-R compatibility and to show quantitatively the efficiency of TOUCH '||'&'||' CALL. The results show that: 1. Reaction time in case of indicating with fingers and shouting is slightly longer (0.138sec. .approx. 0.279sec. ) than that of responding only visually. However, the error rate decreases by 1/3.3 .approx. 1/4.2 times. Frome this, it is considered to verify quantitative estimation on multiple feedback of TOUCH '||'&'||' CALL. 2. In the stimulus-response relation aspect, numeric numeric stimulus-numeric response shows lower error rate (0.033% .approx. 0.133%) than any other stimulus-response relation, ahd shorter reaction time is proven ( 0.556sec. .approx. 0.835sec. ). These data suggest that having the order of stimulus-response arranged in accordance with the experimental knowledges and conceptional compatibility can bring down the error rate considerably.

We investigate the rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes concatenated with hierarchical QAM for designing a cross-layer unequal error protection scheme for H.264 coded sequences. We first divide the H.264 encoded video slices into three priority classes based on their relative importance. We investigate the system constraints and propose an optimization formulation to compute the optimal parameters of the proposed system for the given source significance information. An upper bound to the significance-weighted bit error rate in the proposed system is derived as a function of system parameters, including the code rate and geometry of the constellation. An example is given with design rules for H.264 video communications and 3.5-4 dB PSNR improvement over existing RCPC based techniques for AWGN wireless channels is shown through simulations.

Coexistence of different wireless systems that share the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band is becoming one of the most important issue. This paper presents a model of the interference that IEEE 802.11b affected by IEEE 802.15.4. The packet error rate (PER) of IEEE 802.11b under the interference of IEEE 802.15.4 is analyzed. The PER is obtained by using the bit error rate (BER) and the collision time. Further, this paper suggests a packet length to reduce the effect of the IEEE 802.15.4 interference and obtain a maximum throughput of the IEEE 802.11b. The analytical results are validated using simulation.

본 논문에서는 중간분석에서 사용되는 집단축차 검정법으로 이산형 반응변수인 경우, 오류 분배율 함수를 적용한 집단축차 검정법을 제안한다. 특히 제 1종 오류와 제 2종 오류를 모두 적용한 집단축차 검정법을 제안하며, 기존의 오류 분배율 함수를 포함하는 새로운 오류 분배율 함수를 제안한다. 반응변수가 이산형인 경우 정확한 크기 ${\alpha}$ 검정을 할 수 없으므로 각 검정단계에 사용될 오류율을 분배하는 대신 각 검정단계까지 사용되어야 할 누적 오류율을 이용한다. 오류 분배율 함수를 적용한 집단축차 검정은 기존의 집단축차 검정 보다 빠른 연산과 유연한 검정이 가능하다는 장점을 지니고 있으며, 본 논문에서 제시된 오류 분배율 함수를 이용해 특성을 비교한다.
