Many new techniques have been adopted in HEVC (High efficiency video coding) standard, such as quadtree-structured coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU) partition, 35 intra-mode, and so on. To reduce computational complexity, the paper proposes two optimization algorithms which include fast CU depth range decision and fast PU partition mode decision. Firstly, depth range of CU is predicted according to spatial-temporal correlation. Secondly, we utilize the depth difference between the current CU and CU corresponding to the same position of adjacent frame for PU mode range selection. The number of traversal candidate modes is reduced. The experiment result shows the proposed algorithm obtains a lot of time reducing, and the loss of coding efficiency is inappreciable.

The attractiveness for weapons usage of the proposed fuel cycle for the PT-SCWR was evaluated in this study using the Figure-of-Merit methodology. It was compared to the attractiveness of other fuel cycles namely, Low Enriched Uranium (LEU), U/Th, Re-enriched Reprocessed Uranium (RepU), and Pu/Th/U. The optimal content of natural uranium, which can be added to Pu/Th to render the produced U-233 unattractive, was found to be 9%. A ranking system to compare the attractiveness of the various fuel cycles is proposed. RepU was found to be the most proliferation resistant fuel cycle for the first 100 years,while, the least proliferation resistant fuel cycle was the originally proposed Pu/Th one. The reactivity feedback coefficients were calculated for all proposed fuel cycles. All studied reactivity coefficients have the same sign implying that all the fuel cycles will behave neutronically in a similar way. The Pu/Th/U fuel was found to have the most negative value of the Coolant Void Reactivity which will help to restore the core to a safe status faster in case of a loss-of-coolant accident. The fuel and moderator temperature coefficients did not show significant differences between the fuels studied.

This paper proposes a systematic design for a precoding codebook for a transmit-ing space-division multiple access (TN-SDMA) sharing spectrum with existing fixed wireless service (FWS). Based on an estimated direction angle of a victim FWS system, an interfering transmitter adaptively constructs a codebook, forming a transmit in the direction angle, while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. Sum throughput results indicate that the throughput loss of TN-SDMA relative to a practical SDMA, called per user unitary and rate control ($PU^2RC$), is lower at larger number of transmission antennas, lower signal-to-noise ratio, or a smaller number of users. In particular, a small loss (12% throughput loss) is provided for practical system parameters. Spectrum sharing results confirm that TNSDMA efficiently shares spectrum with FWS systems by reducing protection distance to more than 66 %. Although a TN-SDMA system always has lower throughput compared to $PU^2RC$ in non-coexistence scenarios; it offers an intriguing opportunity to re-use a spectrum already allocated to an FWS.

Plutonium-238 has always been considered as the one of the promising radioisotopes for space nuclear power supply, which has long half-life, low radiation protection level, high power density, and stable fuel form at high temperatures. The industrial-scale production of ²³⁸Pu mainly depends on irradiating solid ²³⁷NpO₂ target in high flux reactors, however the production process faces problems such as large fission loss and high requirements for product quality control. In this paper, a conceptual design study of producing ²³⁸Pu in a multi-purpose high flux reactor was evaluated and analyzed, which includes a sensitivity analysis on ²³⁸Pu production and a further study on the irradiation scheme. It demonstrated that the target structure and its location in the reactor, as well as the operation scheme has an impact on ²³⁸Pu amount and product quality. Furthermore, the production efficiency could be improved by optimizing target material concentration, target locations in the core and reflector. This work provides technical support for irradiation production of ²³⁸Pu in high flux reactors.

초전형 적외선 센서를 제작하기 위하여 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 $(Pb,La)TiO_3(PLT)$/$LiTaO_3$(LTO)/PLT 강유전 박막을 증착한 후 급속 열처리하여 열처리 온도와 시간에 따른 결정성을 조사하였다. 강유전 박막의 c축 배향도에 따른 비유전율 및 유전손실을 측정하고 C축 배향도가 가장 큰 강유전 박막으로 제작된 센서에 대해 초전계수를 측정하여 센서의 전압응답에 대한 성능지수($F_V$)와 감도에 대한 성능지수($F_D$)를 구하였다. 얻어진 $F_V$, $F_D$는 각각 $6.15{\times}10^{-10}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$, $1.98{\times}10^{-8}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$였다.

본 논문에서는 기존 PU기반 움직임 병합 후보 리스트 생성 방법과 비교하여 계산 복잡도를 감소시키고 개선된 병렬성을 제공하기 위하여 CU 기반의 움직임 병합 후보 리스트 생성 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서 하나의 CU는 오직 하나의 움직임 병합 후보 리스트를 생성한다. 그래서 CU내의 모든 PU 블록은 PU형태에 관계없이 오직 하나의 공통 움직임 병합 후보 리스트를 사용한다. 제안방법의 실험 결과, 기존 방법보다 인코더의 복잡도는 3% ~ 6% 감소하였으며, 디코더의 복잡도는 거의 변화가 없었다. 반면 제안 방법이 기존 방법보다 부호화 효율이 0.2% - 0.5% 감소된다는 단점이 존재한다. 하지만 제안방법은 하드웨어 구현이 간단하며, 계산 복잡도를 감소시키고 향상된 병렬성을 제공한다는 장점을 갖는다.

The sound transmission loss is a key index to evaluate the acoustic performance of a car-body structure at the high frequency range. From this paper, a new validation method for in-situ sound transmission loss is proposed. First, in-situ sound transmission loss is measured by using PU intensity probe on the condition of complete vehicle. Second, validation test, which is consisted of internal, external and total frequency response function test, is performed by using volume acceleration source and microphones. Then, these test results are compared to validate the accuracy of in-situ sound transmission loss. Finally, the test result of in-site method is compared with results of two reverberant room test method and SEA analytical method. The reliability of in-situ method is confirmed by these procedures.

영상 보간법은 영상의 해상도를 향상시키기 위해서 사용되는 기술로서 보간 결과 영상에서 나타나는 화질 열화가 아직 까지 해결되지 않은 문제점이다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 손실 정보 추정을 이용한 영상 보간법을 제안하고 제안한 알고리즘을 휴대용 장치에서 구현하였다. 제안하는 방법에서는 획득 저해상도 영상을 더욱 작은 크기로 축소한 후 다시 보간을 거쳐서 나온 영상을 이용해서 에러를 계산하고, 그 결과값을 보간하여 추정 손실 정보를 생성한다. 추정된 손실 정보는 적응적 가중치와 경합하여 최종적으로 보간된 고해상도 C영상에 더해지게 된다. 실험을 통해서 제안한 방볍이 기존의 알고리즘틀 보다 PSNR에서 2dB이상 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 휴대용 장치에서 구현하여 실시간 처려가 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같이 제안한 방법은 영상의 확대와 영상 복원을 위한 다양한 응용 환경에서 사용될 수 있다.

고효율 영상 부호화 기술인 high efficiency video coding (HEVC)은 부호화 효율을 높이기 위하여 coding tree unit (CTU)을 사용한다. CTU는 coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU), transform unit (TU)으로 구성되며 모든 가능한 경우의 CU, PU, TU 분할연산을 통해 최적의 분할 조합을 찾아내게 된다. 블록 분할 연산의 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 본 논문은 움직임 벡터에 의한 관심 영역 CTU 추출에 근거하는 PU 분할 결정 방법과 이전에 부호화된 프레임의 같은 위치의 CTU 정보를 사용하는 CU 깊이 결정 분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫 번째 방법은 프레임 중 움직임이 많은 동적 CTU 부분과 움직임이 적은 정적 CTU 부분으로 나누어 정적인 영역에 대해 PU 분할 연산을 감소시키는 방법이며, 두 번째 방법은 이전 프레임의 CTU 깊이 정보를 기반으로 현재 CTU의 분할 깊이를 미리 예측하여 CU 분할 연산을 감소시킨다. 결과적으로 제안하는 알고리즘은 HEVC test model (HM) 14.0 버전 대비 BDBR 손실은 2.5% 발생했지만, 전체 부호화 시간이 약 44.8%로 크게 감소했다.

The insertion loss is the measured change in power flux at a specified receiver, when the acoustic transmission path between it and the source is modified by the insertion of silencer element. Such measurements have clear and valid physical meaning particularly if the source impedance remains while the transmission path is altered. When the invarient condition is satisfied, the insertion loss is given by the ratio of the acoustic pressure in upstream to that in downstream of the silencer, and that of the particle velocity. The measurement is consisted of using an adaptation of the two microphone method to obtain the complex amplitude of the sound in upstream tube as well as in downstream tube of the silencer. Examples of the data, reduced and presented in terms of the pressure ratio and particle speed ratio, are compared with the theoretical calculations.
