  • In this paper, a WiFi phone system with distributed speech recognition is implemented. The WiFi phone with voice-activated dialing and its functions are explained. Features of the input speech are extracted and are sent to the interactive voice response (IVR) server according to the real-time transport protocol (RTP). Feature extraction is based on the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) standard front-end, but is modified to reduce the processing time. The time for front-end processing on a WiFi phone is compared with that in a PC.

  • CFD calculations are carried out to investigate the turbulent flow characteristics inside the duct of marine waterjet propulsors. The Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite-volume method. Standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model are evaluated with an existing experimental data. Multi-block grid topology is adopted to describe the details of complex duct geometry. The present numerical methods are applied to the preliminary duct design of new waterjet propulsor system. Four different influx conditions are simulated to find out pressure and velocity distribution inside the intake duct. Attention is also paid upon the possible flow separation inside the waterjet duct. It is found that CFD tools can be used for the initial evaluation of inflow condition into the impeller of waterjet propulsor system.

  • Hofstede cultural value model is one of the most influential model for cross-cultural studies to measure national difference. In this study, we examine that Hofstede Cultural Dimensions can be measured by World Value Surveys. Selected WVS questions for 31 measurable countries after Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA), approved valid through empirical analysis. It is applicable that Individualism values(IND) has related to 2 questionnaires including life satisfaction, Power Distance values(PDI) to 2 questionnaires about political action(Signing a petition and Joining in boycotts), Masculinity values(MAS) to 2 sexual-role questionnaires like "University is more important for a boy than for a girl", Uncertainty Avoidance values (UAI) to 3 questionnaires about confidence(Parliament, The Political parties and Justice System), Long-Term Oriented values(LTO) to 4 questionnaires including "How proud of nationality" and Indulgence versus Restraints values (IVR)to 2 questionnaires including Feeling of Happiness.

  • Recent development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment enables interventional radiology (IVR) as diagnosis and treatment under MRI usage. In this paper, a new methodology for magnetic resonance (MR) scanner to apply not only diagnostic equipment but for treatment one is discussed. The temperature measuring procedure under MR is to measure phase shift of $T_1$, which is the longitudinal relaxation time of proton, for the position inside a sample material with the application of pulsed RF for heating inside the sample as artificial dielectrics. The result shows the possibility to apply MR as temperature measuring equipment and as a heating equipment for applying such as hyperthermia heating modality.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an immersive virtual reality-based simulation learning program(IVR-SLP) on the communication competence and learning attitude of students with intellectual disabilities. To do this, 23 participants with intellectual disabilities were selected from 2 special schools. 11 students were placed in an experimental group and 12 students in a control group. An IVR-SLP, focusing on possible situations in a convenience store, was implemented within the experimental group and a traditional intervention program was implemented within the control group. The programs were conducted 5 times per week for 4 weeks and each session lasted approximately 40 minutes. Evaluations were carried out by using a pre- and post- test, and the results of the evaluation were analyzed using the independent t-test. The results of this study indicated that the communication competence of the experimental group showed greater improvement than that of the control group. In addition, the learning attitude of the experimental group became more positive than that of the control group. This implies that the immersive virtual reality-based simulation learning program can be a very effective tool for teaching language and communication skills to students with intellectual disabilities.

  • The retention of a molten pool vessel cooled by internal vessel reflooding and/or external vessel reactor cavity flooding has been considered as one of severe accident management strategies. The present numerical study investigates the effect of both internal and external vessel mixed cooling on an internally heated molten pool. The molten pool is confined in a hemispherical vessel with reference to the thermal behavior of the vessel wall. In this study, our numerical model used a scaled-down reactor vessel of a KSNP (Korea Standard Nuclear Power) reactor design of 1000 MWe (a Pressurized Water Reactor with a large and dry containment). Well-known temperature-dependent boiling heat transfer curves are applied to the internal and external vessel cooling boundaries. Radiative heat transfer has been considered in the case of dry internal vessel boundary condition. Computational results show that the external cooling vessel boundary conditions have better effectiveness than internal vessel cooling in the retention of the melt pool vessel failure.

  • The external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is well known strategy to mitigate a severe accident at which nuclear fuel inside the reactor vessel is molten. In order to compare the heat removal capacity of ERVC between the nuclear reactor designs quantitatively, numerical method is often used. However, the study for ERVC using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is still quite scarce. As a validation study on the numerical prediction for ERVC using CFD, the subcooled boiling flow and natural circulation of coolant at the ULPU-V experiment was simulated. The commercially available CFD software ANSYS-CFX was used. Shear stress transport (SST) model and RPI model were used for turbulence closure and wall-boiling, respectively. The averaged flow velocities in the downcomer and the baffle entry under the reactor vessel lower plenum are in good agreement with the available experimental data and recent computational results. Steam generated from the heated wall condenses rapidly and coolant flows maintains single-phase flow until coolant boils again by flashing process due to the decrease of saturation temperature induced by higher elevation. Hence, the flow rate of coolant natural circulation does not vary significantly with the change of heat flux applied at the reactor vessel, which is also consistent with the previous literatures.

  • 디지털 기술이 급격하게 발전함에 따라서 사용자들은 더 현실감을 느낄 수 있고 능동적으로 상호작용 할 수 있는 방송을 원하게 되었다. 최근 들어서 삼차원 다시점 방송이 이러한 것을 만족시키는 서비스로서 많은 관심을 받으면서 두각 되고 있다. 일반적으로 서버에 입력되는 모든 영상들은 전부 클라이언트로 전송되게 된다. 이후에 사용자는 전체 시점 중에서 몇 개의 시점을 골라서 보게 된다. 하지만 이러한 종류의 시스템은 클라이언트와 서버 모두가 막대한 처리 능력을 필요로 하게 되고 이것은 응용 프로그램을 구현하는데 있어서 어려운 문제가 된다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해서 두 개의 시점을 선택하여 클라이언트로 전송하는 간략한 방법이 사용 가능하다. 본 논문의 시점 선택 과정은 MPEG-21 DIA (Digital Item Adaptation)와 융합되어있기 때문에 우리의 시스템은 MPEG-21 멀티미디어 프레임워크와 완벽하게 호환된다. 그리고 다시점 카메라와 시스템에 대한 XML 형식의 다시점 명세서를 최초로 소개한다. 마지막으로 우리는 다시점 입체 영상을 시청하는 동안에 사용자가 느낄 수 있는 불편함을 최소화 하는 방법으로 IVR (Intermediate View Reconstruction) 제안한다.

  • This paper suggests realization method for real-time speech recognition using VoiceXML in telephony environment based on SIP for Railroad Reservation Service. In this method, voice signal incoming through PSTN or Internet is treated as dialog using VoiceXML and the transferred voice signal is processed by Speech Recognition System, and the output is returned to dialog of VoiceXML which is transferred to users. VASR system is constituted of dialog server which processes dialog, APP server for processing voice signal, and Speech Recognition System to process speech recognition. This realizes transfer method to Speech Recognition System in which voice signal is recorded using Record Tag function of VoiceXML to process voice signal in telephony environment and it is played in real time.
