In this paper, blind equalization using a modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian Weights (MFCM_GW) is attempted to the heavy noise-corrupted channels. The proposed algorithm can deal with both of linear and nonlinear channels, because it searches for the optimal channel output states of a channel instead of estimating the channel parameters in a direct manner. In contrast to the common Euclidean distance in Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), the use of the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and the Gaussian weighted partition matrix is exploited in its search procedure. The selected channel states by MFCM_GW are always close to the optimal set of a channel even the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is heavily corrupted in it. Simulation studies demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is relatively superior to existing genetic algorithm (GA) and conventional FCM based methods in terms of accuracy and speed.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰 환경의 얼굴 검출, 인식 및 화자 인증 기반 다중생체인식 개인인증 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 Modified Census Transform과 gabor filter 및 k-means 클러스터 분석 알고리즘을 통해 얼굴의 주요 특징을 추출하여 얼굴인식을 위한 데이터 전처리를 수행한다. 이후 Linear Discriminant Analysis기반 본인 인증을 수행하고(얼굴인식), Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient기반 실시간성 검증(화자인증)을 수행한다. 화자인증에 사용하는 음성 정보는 실시간으로 변화하므로 본 논문에서는 Dynamic Time Warping을 통해 이를 해결한다. 제안된 다중생체인식 시스템은 얼굴 및 음성 특징 정보를 융합 및 스마트폰 환경에 최적화하여 실시간 얼굴검출, 인식과 화자인증 과정을 수행하며 단일 생체인식에 비해 약간 낮은 95.1%의 인식률을 보이지만 1.8%의 False Acceptance Ratio를 통해 객관적인 실시간 생체인식 성능을 입증하여 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 시스템을 완성한다.

The proposed scheme is based on the modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm combined with the sliding mode technique. A modified P&O algorithm based sliding mode controller is developed to study the effects of partial shade, temperature, and insolation on the performance of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) used in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under partially shaded conditions and temperature, the energy conversion efficiency of a PV array is very low, leading to significant power losses. Consequently, increasing efficiency by means of MPPT is particularly important. Conventional techniques are easy to implement but produce oscillations at MPP. The proposed method is applied to a model to simulate the performance of the PV system for solar energy usage, which is compared to the conventional methods under non-uniform insolation improving the PV system utilization efficiency and allowing optimization of the system performance. The modified perturb and observe sliding mode controller successfully overcomes the issues presented by non-uniform conditions and tracks the global MPP. Compared to MPPT techniques, the proposed technique is more efficient; it produces less oscillation at MPP in the steady state, and provides more precise tracking.

In case of Mindlin plate, not only the bending deformation but also the shear behavior is allowed. While the bending and shear stiffness are given in the same order in terms of elastic modulus, they are in different order in case of plate thickness. Accordingly, bending and shear contributions have to be dealt with independently if the stochastic finite element analysis is performed on the Mindlin plate taking into account of the uncertain plate thickness. In this study, a formulation is suggested to give the response variability of Mindlin plate taking into account of the uncertainties in elastic modulus as well as in the thickness of plate, a geometrical parameter, and their correlation. The cubic function of thickness and the correlation between elastic modulus and thickness are incorporated into the formulation by means of the modified auto- and cross-correlation functions, which are constructed based on the general formula for n-th joint moment of random variables. To demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed formulation, a plate with various boundary conditions is taken as an example and the results are compared with those obtained by means of classical Monte Carlo simulation.

Because construction work is conducted outdoors, construction workers are affected by harmful environmental factor. Especially, Particulate Matter (PM₁₀) is one of the harmful environmental factors with a diameter of 10㎍/m³ or less. When PM₁₀ is inhaled by human, it can cause fatal impact on the human. Contrary to the various analyses of health impact on PM₁₀, the research on the relationship between construction accidents and PM₁₀ are few. Therefore, this study aims to conduct the relative frequency analysis which find out the correlation between construction accidents and PM₁₀, and the modified PM₁₀ grade is suggested to expect accidents probability caused by PM₁₀ in the construction industry. This study is conducted by four steps. i) Establishment of the database; ii) Classification of data; iii) Analysis of the Relative Frequency of accidents in the construction industry by PM₁₀ concentration; iv) Modified PM₁₀ groups to classify the impact of PM₁₀ on accident. In terms of frequency analysis, the most accidents were occurred in the average concentration of PM₁₀ (32㎍/m³). However, we found that the relative frequency of accident was increased as the concentration of PM₁₀ increased. This means the higher PM₁₀ concentration can cause more accidents during construction. In addition, PM₁₀ concentration was divided as 6 groups by the WHO, but the modified PM₁₀ grade by the relative frequency on accident was suggested as 3 groups.

Morphology of polyester fiber was physically modified by solvent treatment. PET fiber was treated with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 100, 120, $140^{circ}C$ for 10 minutes without tension. The structural changes in the morphology of DMF-induced modified PET fiber were FTIR and SEM analysis. Also dyeing behavior of DMF-treated polyester fibers with various disperse dyes was studied to detect changes of amorphous area in fine structure. DMF treatment resulted in increases in total void content, degree of crystallinity, trans isomer content, chain folding, segmental mobility and molecular packing, but it resulted in decreases in amorphous orientation, intermolecular forces and individual void size through longitudinal shrinkage, lateral welling and removal of oligomers. Void-size distribution could be estimated from the dye uptake with various sizes of disperse dyes. In contrast to the large increases in dye uptake with small dye molecules, there is no and little dye uptake with the bulkiest dye, which means that void size is bigger or smaller than the volume of each dye. Diffusion rates of dye molecules showed increases. This dyeing study revealed that the disperse dyeing is very effective method for characterizing the internal morphology of polyester fiber.

An analysis on thermal buckling and postbuckling of composite laminated plates reinforced with a low amount of graphene platelets is performed in the current investigation. It is assumed that graphaene platelets are randomly oriented and uniformly dispersed in each layer of the composite media. Elastic properties of the nanocomposite media are obtained by means of the modified Halpin-Tsai approach which takes into account the size effects of the graphene reinforcements. By means of the von $K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ type of geometrical nonlinearity, third order shear deformation theory and nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) based isogeometric finite element method, the governing equations for the thermal postbuckling of nanocomposite plates in rectangular shape are established. These equations are solved by means of a direct displacement control strategy. Numerical examples are given to study the effects of boundary conditions, weight fraction of graphene platelets and distribution pattern of graphene platelets. It is shown that, with introduction of a small amount of graphene platelets into the matrix of the composite media, the critical buckling temperature of the plate may be enhanced and thermal postbuckling deflection may be alleviated.

본 논문은 여러 분야에서 활용될 수 있는 향상된 고속 Expectation-Maximization(FEM) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫째, EM의 초기값 설정의 방법으로 많이 사용되고 있는 클러스터링 기법인 K-means의 문제점을 해결하여 개선된 EM의 초기값 선정에 적용하였다. 이것은 기존 K-means 알고리즘에서 임의로 지정하던 랜덤한 초기값 선정을, 데이타 분포 특성을 이용한 균등 분할법을 사용하여 EM의 초기값 문제를 해결하였다. 둘째, EM 과정의 핵심을 이루는 후행 확률(Posterior)의 의미를 부각하여 최대 가능성 후행 확률(Maximum Likelihood Posterior: MLP)과정을 적용하였다. 최종적으로, 본 논문에서 제안한 고속 EM알고리즘(FEM)은 근본적으로 해결하기 못했던 기존의 EM 초기치 선정과 수렴에 대한 문제점을 개선함으로써, EM 알고리즘의 특성을 극대화하는 방향으로 상대적으로 마른 수렴과 향상된 결과를 가져온다. 제안된 알고리즘의 객관적 타당성을 위해 기존의 방법과 제안된 방법에 의한 시뮬레이션의 결과를 여러 데이타들을 가지고 비교 분석하여 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하였다.

롤러전압콘크리트(Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement, RCCP) 공법은 적은 단위수량이 포함된 콘크리트 혼합물을 아스팔트 피니셔와 다짐 롤러를 이용하여 시공하는 공법이다. RCCP는 다짐 수준에 따라 강도 및 내구성에 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 또한 품질관리는 건조밀도를 기준으로 다짐도 관리를 시행하고 있다. 현장에서 최적의 건조단위중량을 모사하기 위해 수정다짐시험을 실시한다. 그러나 RCCP를 위한 수정다짐시험의 다짐곡선 분석에 명확한 기준이 제시되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 함수비당 세 개의 샘플에 의한 수정다짐곡선의 기준을 설정하고 설정된 다짐곡선과 비교하여 더 적은실험횟수와의 신뢰성을 분석하기 위해 반복재현성을 고찰하였다. 이로 인해 세 번의 실험에 의한 수정다짐시험과 비교하여 두 번의 수정다짐시험은 0.5% 오차가 발생되며 신뢰도는 99.5% 이다.

In order to accumulate fundamental. data for control of fishes’ behavior at the real fishing ground, the fitness of the numerical model for describing the behavior of fishes was examined by the marine fish. Mullet, Mugil cephalus were used as experimental fishes. The numerical model of fishes’ behavior presented in our earlier paper was modified on the vertical movement of fish school. For the comparision of parameters of the modified numerical model between mullet and rainbow trout, the estimated values of parameters were identified with dimension. The fitness of the modified numerical model was examined by the comparision between experiment and simulation on the several indexes represented by fishes’ swimming characteristics. The obtained result are summarized a follows : 1. The non-dimensional parameter a’ of propulsive force and kb’ of interactive force by the experiment without model net showed a similarity, but the non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) of schooling force for rainbow trout was lager than one for mullet and the non-dimensional parameter k sub(w’) of repulsive force for mullet was lager than one for rainbow trout. 2. The non-dimensional parameter a’ and k sub(b’) for rainbow trout by the experiment with model net were a little lager than ones for mullet, but non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) and k sub(w’) for mullet were lager than ones for rainbow trout. 3. The non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) and k sub(b’) showed the largest and the smallest value among the non-dimensional parameters for rainbow trout and mullet, respectively. 4. The fitness of the modified numerical model was confirmed by means of the compulsion between experiment and simulation on the swimming trajectory of fishes, the mean distance of individual from wall, the mean swimming speed, the mean swimming depth and the mean distance between the nearest individuals. Especially, the similarity of mean swimming depth was improved by using the modified numerical model.
