In order to use the mine tailing which was generated in the flotation process of scheelite ore into the raw material of ordinary portland cement, the characteristics of the prepared cement clinker was investigated. Scheelite mine tailing is composed of 68.8% of $SiO_2$, 8.6% of $Al_2$$O_3$, 10.8% of $Fe_2$$O_3$, 5.0% of CaO, respectively. It exists as $\alpha$-quartz, muscovite, clinochlore and has 8.0% of 88 $\mu\textrm{m}$ residue. When LSF, SM, and IM of the raw materials (such as limestone, convertor slag, fly ash, and mine tailing) are 91.0, 2.60, and 1.60, respectively, the burnability index of the raw materials is 50.7, the crystal size of $C_3$S and $\beta$-C$_2$S in the prepared clinker is 15∼35$\mu\textrm{m}$, and about 3.8% of scheelite mine tailing can be used as raw material.

Reliability analysis of jacket type offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structure under extreme ocean environmental loads was performed. Limit state function (LSF) of OWF support structure is defined by using structural dynamic response at mud-line. Then, the dynamic response is expressed as the static response multiplied by dynamic response factor (DRF). Probabilistic distribution of DRF is found from response time history under design significant wave load. Band limited beta distribution is used for internal friction angle of ground soil. Wind load is obtained in the form of thrust force from commercial code called GH_Bladed and then, applied to tower hub as random load. In a numerical example, the response surface method (RSM) is used to express LSF of jacket type support structure for 5MW OWF. Reliability index is found using first order reliability method (FORM).

In this paper, low complexity block constrained trellis coded quantization (BC-TCQ) structures are introduced, and a predictive BC TCQ encoding method is developed for quantization of line spectrum frequencies (LSF) parameters for narrowband speech coding applications. Trellis-coded quantization(TCQ) is a form of VQ that builds the VQ codebook from interleaved constituent scalar quantization codebooks. The performance is compared to the other VQ, demonstrating reduction in spectral distortion and significant reduction in encoding complexity. The predictive BC-TCQ is about 0.47107 dB superior to the IS-641 split-VQ, 26bits/frame, in spectral distortion sense. The BC-TCQ is 64.54%, 76.93%, 2.35% of the IS-641 split-VQ, respectively, in the complexity of the additions, multiplies, comparisons.

Raw mix of molten clinker was fabricated using blast furnace slag as starting material. Raw mix was melted at 1620 for molten clinker fabrication. Color and mineral composition of molten clinker was investigated by XRD and colorimeter. It was found that the molten clinker contains alite and belite equivalent to OPC clinker mineral and shows higher whiteness value than that of OPC. Whiteness of the molten clinker decreased with LSF and SM. Also the whiteness value of the slag cement using molten clinker was higher than that of common slag cement.

Peak power reduction is becoming increasingly important not only for grid operators but also for residential users. The scheduling of electric loads tries to reduce the power peak by splitting the power-on period of an electric device into multiple smaller ones and by interleaving the on-periods of every device in a holistic way. This paper analyzes the performance of EDF, LSF, TCBM, and lazy scheduling algorithms and proposes the enhancement schemes. For analysis, we have implemented the scheduling policies in a simulation environment for distributed control systems. Through extensive experiments using real power traces, we discuss their performance characteristics in terms of power deviation, switch count, and temperature violation ratio. To prevent excessive switching, we propose to employ the concept of limited preemptibility and evaluate its effect on performance. It is found that the best performance is achieved when the scheduler capacity is dynamically adjusted to the actual power demand. The experiment results show that, by load scheduling, the probability of having a power deviation greater than 150W is reduced from 21.5% down to 3.2%.

Bandwidth extension is a technique to improve speech quality, intelligibility and naturalness, extending from the 300 ~ 3,400 Hz narrowband speech to the 50 ~ 7,000 Hz wideband speech. In this paper, an Artificial Bandwidth Extension (ABE) module embedded in the Opus audio decoder is designed using the information of narrowband speech to reduce the computational complexity of LPC (Linear Prediction Coding) and LSF (Line Spectral Frequencies) analysis and the algorithm delay of the ABE module. We proposed a spectral envelope extension method using DBN (Deep Belief Network), one of deep learning techniques, and the proposed scheme produces better extended spectrum than the traditional codebook mapping method.

The intension of this study is to produce ordinary portland cement using ash, both bottom ash and fly ash, obtained from municipal solid waste incineration ash (MSWI). We used limestone, waste molding sand, shale, slag from converting furnaces and fly ash as main raw materials and mixed them, setting the lime saturation factor (LSF) within 91.0, the silica modulus (SM) within 2.40, and iron modulus (IM) within 1.80. We conducted tests adding bottom ash alone 1, 2 and 3％ by weight, respectively, and a mixture of bottom ash 0.9％ and fly ash 0.1 ％ by weight. The result of analysis on clinker shows that the more ash is added, the lower the burnability index (B.I.) falls, lowering the mineral evolution of calcium silicate accordingly. From the measurement of compressive strength we have learned that the more ash is used, the lower the strength becomes.

The modulation transfer function (MTF) is calculated to analyze the resolution of the spatial frequency of the image acquired from the x-ray imaging system. In general, the response function of the detector acquires a line spread function (LSF) using a slit-camera, and derives a modulation transfer function through a Fourier transform. Because of the fact that the x-ray must always be incident on the center of the slit-camera, the tilt of the detector and slit-camera caused by the experimenter will affect the detector performance. In addition, if the tilt increases, the performance evaluation of the x-ray image system will be problematic. In this study, we analyzed the experimental and analytical models in the modulation transfer function, ie, the Fourier domain, based on the experimental error and analyzed the effect on the spatial frequency. Furthermore, performance evaluation is being carried out for various x-ray imaging systems, and experimental errors are indispensable, and the extent to which they can be tolerated should be reviewed.

In this study, raw mix was mixed with CaCl2 for analyzing characteristics of clinker added chlorine and chlorine was added by 2,000ppm at high concentration condition. The raw mix added chlorine was burned at 1250℃~1350℃ and maintained during 10minutes at each maximum temperature. Clinker target modulus was LSF 92, SM 2.5 and IM 1.6 in this study. The burnability of clinker added chlorine was identified by free-CaO content. Free-CaO content decreased as chlorine content increased and free-CaO content of 1350℃-2000ppm clinker decreased by 1.5%. Optical microscope and XRD Analyses were used for identify mineral properties of clinker added chlorine. The mineral of clinker could not be observed at 1250℃ and the size of alite grew larger as chlorine content increased at 1350℃. It showed a good crystallizability as chlorine content increased. As chlorine content of clinker increased, clinker showed a good burnability and mineral property.
