In a hidden Markov model-based speech synthesis system using a two-band excitation model, a maximum voiced frequency (MVF) is the most important feature as an excitation parameter because the synthetic speech quality depends on the MVF. This paper proposes an enhanced MVF estimation scheme based on a peak picking method. In the proposed scheme, both local peaks and peak lobes are picked from the spectrum of a linear predictive residual signal. The average of the normalized distances of local peaks and peak lobes is calculated and utilized as a feature to estimate an MVF. Experimental results of both objective and subjective tests show that the proposed scheme improves the synthetic speech quality compared with that of a conventional one in a mobile device as well as a PC environment.

In this study, electrical and spectroscopic characteristics were investigated in the pin to plate discharge of 0.9% weight per unit volume saline solution. The positive and positive- and negative-going dc pulse with 5% duty ratio were applied to tungsten pin electrode. The more amount of discharge current flew in negative discharge. The temperature, which is considered as a local value in the vicinity of vapor of discharge, was about 3,000K which is much higher than the value recommended to be controlled. It can be suggested that not only the temperature of liquid but also the local temperature of vapor is monitored to investigate damages on tissue or cells in biological application.

This paper investigates the soil effect on seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings by using the spread plastic hinge model which includes material and geometric nonlinearity of the structural members. Therefore, typical reinforced concrete frame buildings are selected and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses and pushover analyses are performed. Three earthquake acceleration records are selected for nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. These records are adjusted to be compatible with the design spectrum defined in Turkish Seismic Code. Interstory drifts and damages of selected buildings are compared according to local soil classes. Also, capacity curves of these buildings are compared with maximum responses obtained from nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. The results show that, soil class influences the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete buildings, significantly.

In this paper we show that if A ∈ L(X) and B ∈ L(Y), X and Y complex Banach spaces, then A ⊕ B ∈ L(X ⊕ Y) is subscalar if and only if both A and B are subscalar. We also prove that if A, Q ∈ L(X) satisfies AQ = QA and Q^p = 0 for some nonnegative integer p, then A has property (C) (resp. property (𝛽)) if and only if so does A + Q (resp. property (𝛽)). Finally, we show that A ∈ L(X, Y) and B, C ∈ L(Y, X) satisfying operator equation ABA = ACA and BA ∈ L(X) is subscalar with property (𝛿) then both Lat(BA) and Lat(AC) are non-trivial.

The 2017 Pohang earthquake afflicted more significant economic losses than the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, even if these earthquakes had a similar moment magnitude. This phenomenon could be due to local site conditions that amplify ground motions. Local site effects could be estimated from methods using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio, standard spectral ratio, and the generalized inversion technique. Since the generalized inversion method could estimate the site effect effectively, this study modeled the site effects in the Korean peninsula using the generalized inversion technique and the Fourier amplitude spectrum of ground motions. To validate the method, the site effects estimated for seismic stations were tested using recorded ground motions, and a ground motion prediction equation was developed without considering site effects.

모든 공공도서관의 본질적 정체성은 당대 및 후대의 통시적 접근 이용을 보장하는 지식정보센터이다. 그럼에도 최근에 평생학습 산실, 문화활동 거점, 정보게이트웨이, 커뮤니티센터, 지방공공재, 정보공통체, 민주주의 요람, 제2의 거실 등으로 회자되면서 공공도서관의 정체성이 요동치고 있다. 이에 각종 관계법령, 지방행정기구, 정부 통계자료를 분석하여 정체성 혼란의 실상과 증거를 제시한 후에 공공도서관 정체성 혼란의 극복방안을 제안하였다. 차제에 공공도서관이 지식정보센터를 기반으로 지역문화 향유 확산을 위한 베이스캠프로 정립되려면 집단주의, 귀속주의, 편의주의를 경계해야 한다.

In this study, the effect of local site conditions (site class and site amplifications) and structural variability are investigated on fragility functions of typical building structures. The study area is chosen as Eastern Turkey. The fragility functions are developed using site-specific uniform hazard spectrum (UHS). The site-specific UHS is obtained based on simulated ground motions. The implementation of ground motion simulation into seismic hazard assessment has the advantage of investigating detailed local site effects. The typical residential buildings in Erzincan are represented by equivalent single degree of freedom systems (ESDOFs). Predictive equations are accomplished for structural seismic demands of ESDOFs to derive fragility functions in a straightforward manner. To study the sensitivity of fragility curves to site class, two sites on soft and stiff soil are taken into account. Two alternative site amplification functions known as generic and theoretical site amplifications are examined for these two sites. The reinforced concrete frames located on soft soil display larger fragilities than those on stiff soil. Theoretical site amplification mostly leads to larger fragilities than generic site amplification more evidently for reinforced concrete buildings. Additionally, structural variability of ESDOFs is generally observed to increase the fragility especially for rigid structural models.

기존의 OR 법칙은 각각의 2차 사용자가 검출한 결과 값을 퓨전센터에서 취합하여 1차 사용자의 존재 유무를 판단한다. 따라서 기존의 OR 법칙은 1차 사용자의 존재 유무를 판단하기 위해서 CR 네트워크 내에 존재하는 모든 2차 사용자로부터 검출 결과 값을 취합하여야 했다. 하지만 본 논문을 통해 제안하는 OR 법칙은 2차 사용자의 검출 결과 값에 따라 퓨전센터에서 취합하는 2차 사용자의 검출 결과 값의 수를 조절하여 2차 사용자의 전송 용량을 높일 수 있다. 그리고 본 논문을 통해 제안하는 OR 법칙의 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 OR 법칙과 제안하는 OR 법칙의 오 경보 확률, 미 검출 확률을 구하고 전송 용량을 구한다.

The shape and the distribution of material construction of the scatterer may be obtained from its scattered fields by the iterative inversion in the spectral domain. The illposedness, the resolution, and the uniqueness of the inversion are the key problems in the inversion and inter-related. The illposedness is shown to be caused by the evanescent modes which carries and amplifies exponentially the measurement errors in the back-propagation of the measured scattered fields. By filtering out all the evanescent modes in the cost functional defined as the squared difference between the measured and the calculated spatial spectrum of the scattered fields from the iteratively chosen medium parameters of the scatterer, one may regularize the illposedness of the inversion in the expense of the resolution. There exist many local minima of the cost functional for the inversion of the large and the high-contrast scatterer and the hybrid algorithm combining the genetic algorithm and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is shown to find efficiently its global minimum. The resolution of reconstruction obtained by keeping all the propating modes and filtering out the evanescent modes for the regularization becomes 0.5 wavelength. The super resolution may be obtained by keeping the evanescent modes when the measurement error and instance, respectively, are small and near.

In this paper we show that if T ∈ L(X) and S ∈ L(X) is a Riesz operator commuting with T and X_S(F) ∈ Lat(S), where F = {0} or F ⊆ ℂ ⧵ {0} is closed then T|X_S(F) and T|X_T(F) + S|X_S(F) share the local spectral properties such as SVEP, Dunford's property (C), Bishop's property (𝛽), decomopsition property (𝛿) and decomposability. As a corollary, if T ∈ L(X) and Q ∈ L(X) is a quasinilpotent operator commuting with T then T is Riesz if and only if T + Q is Riesz. We also study some spectral properties of Riesz operators acting on Banach spaces. We show that if T, S ∈ L(X) such that TS = ST, and Y ∈ Lat(S) is a hyperinvarinat subspace of X for which 𝜎(S|Y ) = {0} then 𝜎_*(T|Y + S|Y ) = 𝜎_*(T|Y ) for 𝜎_* ∈ {𝜎, 𝜎_loc, 𝜎_sur, 𝜎_ap}. Finally, we show that if T ∈ L(X) and S ∈ L(Y ) on the Banach spaces X and Y and T is similar to S then T is Riesz if and only if S is Riesz.
