  • Magnetic multi-granule nanoclusters (MGNCs) were investigated as an inexpensive means to effectively remove arsenic from aqueous environment, particularly groundwater sources consumed by humans. Various size MGNCs were examined to determine both their capacity and efficiency for arsenic adsorption for different initial arsenic concentrations. The MGNCs showed highly efficient arsenic adsorption characteristics, thereby meeting the allowable safety limit of $10{\mu}g/L$ (ppb), prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and confirming that 0.4 g and 0.6 g of MGNCs were sufficient to remove 0.5 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L of arsenate ($AsO_4{^{3-}}$) from water, respectively. Adsorption isotherm models for the MGNCs were used to estimate the adsorption parameters. They showed similar parameters for both the Langmuir and Sips models, confirming that the adsorption process in this work was active at a region of low arsenic concentration. The actual efficiency of arsenate removal was then tested against 1 L of artificial arsenic-contaminated groundwater with an arsenic concentration of 0.6 mg/L in the presence of competing ions. In this case, only 1.0 g of 100 nm MGNCs was sufficient to reduce the arsenic concentrations to below the WHO permissible safety limit for drinking water, without adjusting the pH or temperature, which is highly advantageous for practical field applications.

  • This paper presents proportional odds cure models to allow spatial correlations by including spatial frailty in the interval censored data setting. Parametric cure rate models with independent and dependent spatial frailties are proposed and compared. Our approach enables different underlying activation mechanisms that lead to the event of interest; in addition, the number of competing causes which may be responsible for the occurrence of the event of interest follows a Geometric distribution. Markov chain Monte Carlo method is used in a Bayesian framework for inferential purposes. For model comparison some Bayesian criteria were used. An influence diagnostic analysis was conducted to detect possible influential or extreme observations that may cause distortions on the results of the analysis. Finally, the proposed models are applied for the analysis of a real data set on smoking cessation. The results of the application show that the parametric cure model with frailties under the first activation scheme has better findings.

  • On-Line Lectures are becoming more common due to the MOOK service and the expansion of national policy in Korea. Especially, It is being changed to new remote mixed style from traditional lecture in universities. We propose and implement a remote contents making tool with audio synchronization function based on more with less resources. To implement our proposed algorithm, we design an interactive interface to assign multiple cutting intervals and convert an input video to print a new result. In experimental, we can confirm our algorithm works properly with average performance value 9.3% cpu share ratio and 87mega byte ram usage(CPU 2.60GHz, 820*600 Area).

  • This paper proposes LUT based predistorter using interpolater to reduce nonlinear distortion which was generated by HPA. We minimized performance degradation from the reduced LUT size with linear interpolation. We updated LUT using LMS algorithm using input data as reference data. As a result, it is shown that when the size of the LUT is 8, linear interpolation is the most outstanding performance in the view of performance and H/W complexity.

  • This paper introduces a new structure for the undecimated discrete wavelet transform (UDWT). This structure combines the stationary wavelet transform with a lifting scheme and its design is based on a polyphase structure .where the downsampling and split stage are removed. The suggested structure inherits the simplicity of the lifting scheme, such that the inverse transform is easily implemented. The performanace of the proposed undecimated lifting is verified on a signal denoising application.

  • The formation of postlaminectomy arteriovenous fistula is unusual and the rongeur during discectomy with resultant simultaneous damage to artery and vein is causative. The delay in diagnosis is particularly distressing. The presence of a palpable abdominal thrill or bruit with or without congestive heart failure should results in a high index of suspicion of this entity. Prompt recognition and surgical closure of the post-laminectomy arteriovenous iliac fistula are most important in successful management.

The ASIC is designed two PWM functions for simultaneous control of a converter and an inverter. Also the device includes additionally two UART functions for interfacing the RS232C with PC or other devices. The device is connected to the microprocessor of Intel or Motorola by bus interface. The required output voltage and frequency for the motor control is programmed to the PWM block and the corresponding switching signals are calculated and generated with regard to the programmed value.

  • In this study, the possibility of decision error is investigated to identify and improve the reliability of participants in the process of conducting the sound quality analysis for laser printers. So far, there is not a way to identify and express the possibility of individual participant quantitatively. Thus, the decision error model is proposed which is based on the expectation value between the perceived sounds. Through the experimental verification on the laser printers, it was found that the possibility of decision error is affected according to the normalized difference. The possibility of decision error has inversely proportional to the normalized difference between the perceived sounds. When the normalized difference becomes small value, the uncertainly between decisions is inversely increase, and then it is difficult to obtain the proper result in the process of the jury evaluation for laser printers. For this reason, in this study, the proposed decision error model is added in the previous step of the correlation verification. Comparing to the conventional process only using the correlation based method, after the reliability of each participant is verified, the correlation with the mean response of participants is verified. It was found that the participants who were recognized as having unusual preferences are actually identified as having the reliability problem. Based on the results of this study, the proposed decision error model will be helpful to identify and improve the reliability of participants in the following study for the sound quality analysis.
