Condition monitoring(CM) is a method based on non-destructive test(NDT). So, recently many kind of NDT were applied for CM. Acoustic emission(AE) is widely used for the early detection of faults in rotating machinery in these days because of high sensitivity than common accelerometers and detectable low energy vibration signals. And crack is considered one of severe fault in the rotating machine. Therefore, in this paper, study on early detection using AE has been accomplished for the crack of the low-speed shaft. There is a seeded initial crack on the shaft then the AE signal had been measured with low-speed rotation as the applied load condition. The signal detected from crack in rotating machine was detected by the AE transducer then the trend of crack growth had found out by using some of feature values such as peak value, skewness, kurtosis, crest factor, frequency center value(FC), variance frequency value(VF) and so on.

PD indicates the inception and progress of degradation of solid insulation system, so it has been used to determine degradation of insulation. PD provides means for detection and recognition of defects. However, there is still marked difficult to recognize defects by PD methods. In this paper, we investigated properties of PD in solid insulation by using statistical method with surface discharge, electrical tree and void discharge with source of discharge, we used statistical parameters of PD distributions specified such as $H_n(q)$, $H_{an}(\phi)$, $H_n(\phi)$, $H_a(\phi)$. The parameters induced from its specified distributions are average discharge, average repetition rate, Skewness, Kurtosis, asymmetry and correlation. From the parameters, we classified PD patterns and built up DB(data-base).

In a previous article, for analyzing a stochastic activity network, Cho proposed a method for estimating the moments (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) of the project completion time under the assumption that the durations of activities are independently and normally distributed. Developed in the present article is a method for estimating those moments for stochastic activity networks which allow any type of distributions for activity durations. The proposed method uses the moment matching approach to discretize the distribution function of activity duration, and then a discrete inverse-transform method to determine activity durations to be used for calculating the project completion time. The proposed method can be easily applied to large-sized activity networks, and computationally more efficient than Monte Carlo simulation, and its accuracy is comparable to that of Monte Carlo simulation.

The purpose of this study is to compare student evaluation methods in team based learning classes for dental hygiene students. The subjects of this study were the score of dental hygiene students who took the courses of 'oral health education practice'. The analysis methods were spearman correlation analysis, skewness, kurtosis and Mann-Whitney U test. As a result, there was a significant correlation between the self-evaluation and peer-evaluation. Self-evaluation showed lenience tendency rather than peer-evaluation and self-evaluation found the highest central tendency. The peer-evaluation result was more lenience and more central in the group where self-evaluation was performed.

On-line monitoring of fault discharge is an important approach for indicating the condition of electrical insulation of stator winding in high voltage motor. In this paper, several key aspects of on-line monitoring system are discussed, involving the characteristics of fault discharge of stator winding in high voltage motor, spectrum analysis of four simulation fault signals, feature extraction of internal fault discharge from apply voltage to breakdown. The study of the partial discharge activities allows to highlight the ageing stage in the winding fault under test. During the life of the winding insulation fault, the shape of PD signal change relating to the ageing stage. The ageing of stator winding insulation fault of high voltage motor is investigated based on the characteristics of partial discharge pulse distribution and statistical parameters, such as maximum, skewness and kurtosis using discrete wavelet trnasform coefficients.

For a project network analysis, a fundamental problem is to estimate the distribution function of the project completion time. In this paper, we propose a method for evaluating moments(mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) of the project completion time under the assumption that the durations of activities are independently and normally distributed. The proposed method utilizes the technique of discretization to replace the continuous probability density function(pdf) of activity duration with its discrete pdf and a random number generation. The proposed method is easy to use for large-sized project networks, and the computational results of the proposed method indicate that the accuracy is comparable to that of direct Monte Carlo simulation.

The wavelet transform is the most recent technique for processing signals with time-varying spectra. In this paper, the wavelet transform is utilized to improved the assessment and multi-resolution analysis of acoustic emission signals generating in partial discharge. This paper especially deals with the assessment of process statistical parameter using the features extracted from the wavelet coefficients of measured acoustic emission signals in case of applied voltage 20[kv]. Since the parameter assessment using all wavelet coefficients will often turn out leads to inefficient or inaccurate results, we selected that level-3 stage of multi decomposition in discrete wavelet transform. We applied FIR(Finite Impulse Response)digital filter algorithm in discrete to suppression for random noise. The white noise be included high frequency component denoised as decomposition of discrete wavelet transform level-3. We make use of the feature extraction parameter namely, maximum value of acoustic emission signal, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, etc. The effectiveness of this new method has been verified on ability a diagnosis transformer go through feature extraction in stage of acting(the early period, the last period) .

The discrete wavelet transform is utilized as preprocessing of Neural Network(NN) to identify aging state of internal partial discharge in transformer. The discrete traveler transform is used to produce wavelet coefficients which are used for Classification. The statistical parameters (maximum of wavelet coefficients, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis) using the wavelet coefficients are input into an back-propagation neural network. The neurons whose weights have obtained through Result of Cross-Validation. The Neural Network learning stops either when the error rate achieves an appropriate minimum or when the learning time overcomes a constant value. The networks, after training, can decide if the test signal is Early Aging State or Last Aging State or normal state.

This study examines the fundamental frequency(f0) distribution of 2,740 Korean speakers in a dialogue speech corpus. Praat and R were used for the collection and analysis of acoustical f0 data after removing extreme values considering the interquartile f0 range of the intonational phrases produced by each individual speaker. Results showed that the average f0 value of all speakers was 185 Hz and the median value was 187 Hz. The f0 data showed a positively skewed distribution of 0.11, and the kurtosis was -0.09, which is close to the normal distribution. The pitch values of daily conversations varied in the range of 238 Hz. Further examination of the male and female groups showed distinct median f0 values: 114 Hz for males and 199 Hz for females. A t-test between the two groups yielded a significant difference. The skewness representing the distribution shape was 1.24 for the male group and 0.58 for the female group. The kurtosis was 5.21 and 3.88 for the male and female groups, and the male group values appeared leptokurtic. A regression analysis between the median f0 and age yielded a slope of 0.15 for the male group and -0.586 for the female group, which indicated a divergent relationship. In conclusion, a normative f0 distribution of different Korean age and sex groups can be examined in the conversational speech corpus recorded by a massive number of participants. However, more rigorous data might be required to define a relation between age and f0 values.

Recently, a methodology for analyzing complex bio-signals using a deep learning model has emerged among studies that recognize human emotions. At this time, the accuracy of emotion classification may be changed depending on the evaluation method and reliability depending on the kind of data to be learned. In the case of biological signals, the reliability of data is determined according to the noise ratio, so that the noise detection method is as important as that. Also, according to the methodology for defining emotions, appropriate emotional evaluation methods will be needed. In this paper, we propose a wavelet -based noise threshold setting algorithm for verifying the reliability of data for multimodal bio-signal data labeled Valence and Arousal and a method for improving the emotion recognition rate by weighting the evaluation data. After extracting the wavelet component of the signal using the wavelet transform, the distortion and kurtosis of the component are obtained, the noise is detected at the threshold calculated by the hampel identifier, and the training data is selected considering the noise ratio of the original signal. In addition, weighting is applied to the overall evaluation of the emotion recognition rate using the euclidean distance from the median value of the Valence-Arousal plane when classifying emotional data. To verify the proposed algorithm, we use ASCERTAIN data set to observe the degree of emotion recognition rate improvement.
