Membrane biofouling impedes wide application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. Recently, quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms are accounted for one of major mechanisms in biofouling of MBRs. In this study, vanillin was applied to investigate reduction of biofouling in MBRs. MBR sludge was analyzed to contain QS signal molecules by cross-feeding biosensor assay and HPLC. In addition, the inhibitory activity of vanillin against bacterial quorum sensing was verified using an indicator strain CV026. The vanillin doses greater than 125 mg/L to 100 mL of MBR sludge showed 25% reduction of biofilm formed on the membrane surfaces. Two MBRs, i.e., a typical MBR as a control and an MBR with vanillin, were operated. The TMP increases of the control MBR were more rapid compared to those of the MBR with the vanillin dose of 250 mg/L. The treatment efficiencies of the two MBRs on organic removal and MLSS were maintained relatively constant. Extracellular polymeric substance concentrations measured at the end of the MBR operation were 173 mg/g biocake for the control MBR and 119 mg/g biocake for the MBR with vanillin. Vanillin shows great potential as an anti-biofouling agent for MBRs without any interference on microbial activity for wastewater treatment.

Multicarrier DS-CDMA is an effective approach to combat fading and various kinds of interference. In this paper, we present an overlapped multicarrier DS-CDMA system, wherein each of the rate 1/M convolutionally-encoded symbols is also repetition coded and transmitted using overlapped multicarriers. However, since the frequency spectrums of successive carriers are allowed to overlap, the transmission bandwidth is more efficiently utilized. The effect of the overlapping percentage between successive carriers of a multicarrier DS-CDMA system on the performance is investigated to determine the overlapping percentage showing the best performance. We suggest two methods for sub-band overlapping variation. One is to allow variation of sub-band overlapping percentage when the total number of subcarriers is fixed. The other is to increase the number of sub-bands (the number of repetitions R) with fixed sub-band bandwidth. Given a total number of subcarriers MR, we show that the BER variation is highly dependent on the roll-off factor ${\beta}$ of a raised-cosine chip wave-shaping filter irrespective of convolutional encoding rate 1/M and repetition coding rate 1/R. We also analyze the possibility of reduction in total multi-user interference by considering the variation of both the roll-off factor ($0<{\beta}{\leq}1$) and the sub-band overlapping factor ($0<{\lambda}{\leq}2$), and show that the proposed system may outperform the multicarrier DS-CDMA system in [3].

논문은 MVDR 빔 형성 기법을 위한 새로운 공분산 행렬 예측을 제안한다. 오디오-비디오 센서를 이용하여 음원의 방향 정보를 정확히 추적함으로써, 공분산 행렬은 가변 적응 망각율을 적용하여 효과적으로 예측된다. 가변 적응 망각율은 신호 대 방해 신호 비를 고려하여 결정된다. 실험 결과에서는 제안하는 방법의 성능이 방해신호/잡음 감소 및 음성 왜곡의 면에서 기존의 방법의 성능보다 더 우수하다는 것을 보여준다.

The corrosion fatigue test was conducted in air to investigate the corrosion fatigue strength of SM 30 C steel by which was corroded in the under sea and surface in the conditions of 3.0% NaCl salt solution. The fatigue tests were carried out on a rotary bending testing machine of cantilever type. The corrosion effect of the sea surface conditionwas served more than that of the under sea condition which was due ti the periodic contact of air thus accelerate the corrosion. The difference of the fatgue strength between sea surface and under sea conditions decreased with increase of stree level and corroded period. Inthe case of the solid shaft and thickness 2mm of hollow shaft, the difference of corrosion fatigue strength decreased as stress level and corrosion periodic increasing. Onthe contrary in the case of thickness 1mm of hollow sgaft, the difference of it increased as stress level, corrosionn periooodic increasing and also the condition of corrosion chaanged. The main factors affecting the degradation of fatigue strength due to corrosion were the reduction of sectional area and the increase of surface roughness. The interference phenomenon increase with stress level got higher.

The synchronous phasor measurement algorithm is the core content of the phasor measurement unit. This manuscript proposes a dynamic synchronous phasor measurement algorithm based on compressed sensing theory. First, a dynamic signal model based on the Taylor series was established. The dynamic power signal was preprocessed using a least mean square error adaptive filter to eliminate interference from noise and harmonic components. A Chirplet overcomplete dictionary was then designed to realize a sparse representation. A reduction of the signal dimension was next achieved using a Gaussian observation matrix. Finally, the improved orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm was used to realize the sparse decomposition of the signal to be detected, the amplitude and phase of the original power signal were estimated according to the best matching atomic parameters, and the total vector error index was used for an error evaluation. Chroma 61511 was used for the output of various signals, the simulation results of which show that the proposed algorithm cannot only effectively filter out interference signals, it also achieves a better dynamic response performance and stability compared with a traditional DFT algorithm and the improved DFT synchronous phasor measurement algorithm, and the phasor measurement accuracy of the signal is greatly improved. In practical applications, the hardware costs of the system can be further reduced.

Since high-speed train is a dynamic load in which electric power is externally supplied, contact loss between the catenary and pantograph occurs. This phenomena including vibrations generates frequently irregular arcs, which, in turn causes EMI. Thus it is very important to develop the approach to reduce arc phenomenon by contact loss, as speed of electric railway vehicle increases. In case of an electric railway vehicle using electrical power, compared with diesel rolling stock, Power Line Disturbance(PLD) such as harmonics, transient voltage and current, Electromagnetic Interference(EMI), and dummy signal injection etc usually occur. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a contact wire and a pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed train are investigated with an electrical response point. To implement power line disturbance induced by contact loss phenomenon for high speed train operation, a hardware simulator which considers contact loss between contact wire and pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed by the experiments that contact loss effect is largely dependent on voltage conditions when the contact loss occurs. Also, a passive filter is designed to reduce power disturbance and the designed system is verified by experiment.

본 논문에서는 연판정 간섭 소거 최소 자승-오류(soft interference cancellation and minimum mean squared-error; SIC-MMSE) 방법을 이용한 새로운 에너지 효율적 다중안테나(multi-input multi-output; MIMO) 검출 기법을 소개한다. SIC-MMSE 방법의 가장 큰 계산 복잡도는 복소 행렬에 대하여 안테나 개수 만큼의 여러 번 역행렬 계산을 해야 하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 행렬에 대한 테일러 시리즈 확장(Taylor series expansion) 기법을 이용하여 안테나 개수에 상관없이 단 한번의 역행렬 계산만을 필요로 하는 방법을 제안하며, 이와 같은 방법을 이용하여 계산의 복잡도를 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법의 복잡도 감소 효과는 안테나 개수가 증가함에 따라 더 크게 나타난다. 본 논문에서 제시한 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 제안한 기법이 기존의 SIC-MMSE 기법에 비하여 더 적은 복잡도로 거의 동일한 성능을 도출할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭 영향을 최소화시키기 위한 MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 RMMA (Region based Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 알고리즘을 제안한다. RMMA 알고리즘에서는 적응을 위한 오차 신호를 얻기 위하여 등화기 출력 constellation을 4개의 영역으로 분할한 후 각 영역별로 4-QAM 신호로 매핑하므로서 nonconstant modulus 신호를 constant modulus 신호로의 변환 효과를 얻으며, 이로 인하여 더욱 적은 오차 신호를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘인 RMMA의 적응 등화 성능을 평가하기 위하여 기존 방식인 MMA와 비교하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 잔류 isi와 MD에서 수렴 속도와 잔류양에서 개선되었으며, 특히 SER에서 기존 MMA보다 월등함을 알 수 있었다.
