PURPOSES : We propose a parameter-setting-free harmony-search (PSF-HS) algorithm to determine the individual sound power levels of noise sources in the cases of industrial or road noise environment. METHODS :In terms of using methods, we use PSF-HS algorithm because the optimization parameters cannot be fixed through finding the global minimum. RESULTS:We found that the main advantage of the PSF-HS heuristic algorithm is its ability to find the best global solution of individual sound power levels through a nonlinear complex function, even though the parameters of the original harmony-search (HS) algorithm are not fixed. In an industrial and road environment, high noise exposure is harmful, and can cause nonauditory effects that endanger worker and passenger safety. This study proposes the PSF-HS algorithm for determining the PWL of an individual machine (or vehicle), which is a useful technique for industrial (or road) engineers to identify the dominant noise source in the workplace (or road field testing case). CONCLUSIONS : This study focuses on providing an efficient method to determine sound power levels (PWLs) and the dominant noise source while multiple machines (or vehicles) are operating, for comparison with the results of previous research. This paper can extend the state-of-the-art in a heuristic search algorithm to determine the individual PWLs of machines as well as loud machines (or vehicles), based on the parameter-setting-free harmony-search (PSF-HS) algorithm. This algorithm can be applied into determining the dominant noise sources of several vehicles in the cases of road cross sections and congested housing complex.

This paper proposes a shadowing compensation method for the solar modules of grid-connected photovoltaic generation systems. The shadowing compensator (SC) implemented by the proposed shadowing compensation method is used only for the solar modules that can be shaded by predictable sources of shading. The proposed SC can simplify both the power circuit and the control circuit as well as improve power efficiency and utilizes a voltage equalizer configured by a modified multi-winding fly-back converter. The proposed SC harvests energy from the entire solar cell array to compensate for the shaded sub-modules of the solar cell array, producing near-identical voltages of all shaded and un-shaded sub-modules in the solar cell array. This setup prevents the formation of multiple peaks in the P-V curve under shaded conditions. Hardware prototypes are developed for the SCs implemented by the conventional and modified multi-winding fly-back converters, and their performance is verified through testing. The experimental results show that both SCs can overcome the multiple peaks in the P-V curve. The proposed SC is superior to the SC implemented by the conventional multi-winding fly-back converter.

Multiple sound sources are controlled to enhance sound power within a zone of interest. The problem of enhancing acoustic variable can be regarded as an optimization problem, which seeks an optimal control input that maximizes the acoustic variable. It should be noted that enhancing sound power of a selected region requires both the magnitude and direction to be controlled. For this reason, two kinds of cost functions that can represent the spatially distributed intensity are defined. Theoretical formulation shows the possibility of sound power control in a zone, and the detailed procedures of the proposed method are validated by numerical simulations.

In this paper, we propose a low-power design strategy to minimize energy-consumption for surveillance and reconnaissance sensor networks. The sensor network consists of many different nodes with various operations such as target detection, packet relay, video monitoring, changing protocols, and etc. Each sensor node consists of sensing, computing, communication, and power components. These components are integrated on a single or multiple boards. Therefore, the power consumption of each component can be different on various operation types. First, we identified the list of components and measured power consumption for them from the first prototype nodes. Next, we focus on which components are the main sources of energy consumption. We propose many energy-efficient approaches to reduce energy consumption for each operation type.

In this paper, a target signal detection method using multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is proposed. The MUSIC algorithm is a subspace-based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method. Using the inverse of the eigenvalue-weighted eigen spectra, the algorithm detects the DOAs of multiple sources. To apply the algorithm in target signal detection for GSC-based beamforming, we utilize its spectral response for the DOA of the target source in noisy conditions. The performance of the proposed target signal detection method is compared with those of the normalized cross-correlation (NCC), the fixed beamforming, and the power ratio method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the conventional ones in receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves.

본 논문에서는 수중에서 빠른 속도로 기동하는 표적 환경에 적합한 조향각 오차 보정기법을 제안한다. 기존의 협대역 조향각 오차 보정기법에서는 다수의 시간 데이터 단편을 이용한 반면, 제안한 기법은 하나의 시간 데이터 단편에서 다수의 주파수 성분들로부터 모드 공분산행렬을 구성하고, 이를 이용하여 얻어진 광대역 MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) 빔출력을 최대화시키는 조향각 오차를 추정함으로써 짧은 관측시간 내에 정확한 표적의 방위각을 추정할 수 있다. 모의신호와 실제 해상 실험 데이터를 이용하여 제안한 기법의 성능을 기존의 기법과 비교, 분석하였다.

5G 이동통신 네트워크에서, 상호작용 이동통신 게임 사용자들이 다수 늘어나고 있고, 이러한 사용자들은 상관 정보원으로 작용한다. 비직교 다중접속 기술은 5G 이동통신에서 중요한 기술로 고려되고 있다. 비직교 다중접속에서는, 사용자들이 채널 자원을 공유하기 때문에, 상관 정보원이 각각의 사용자의 BER 성능에 영향을 주며, 이러한 현상은 직교 다중접속에는 발생하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 상관 정보원을 가진 비직교 다중접속에 대한 최적 수신기를 유도하고 각각의 사용자의 BER 성능에 상관 정보원의 영향을 고찰한다.

본 연구에서는 과학적 자기효능감, 과학적 자기효능감의 원천, 창의적 성향의 학년과 성별에 따른 차이를 살펴보았다. 연구 대상은 수도권에 소재한 3-6학년 초등학교 학생 495명이었다. 과학적 자기효능감은 학년과 성별에 따라 차이는 없었다. 과학적 자기효능감 원천은 성별에 따른 차이는 없었으나 학년에 따른 차이는 나타났다. 대리적 경험과 생리적 상태에 대한 점수가 3-4학년이 5-6학년보다 유의미하게 높았다. 창의적 성향에서도 성별에 따른 차이는 없지만 창의적 성향 중 동기와 모험심은 3-4학년이 5-6학년보다 유의미하게 높았다. 또한, 과학적 자기효능감의 원천들 중에서는 생리적 상태 점수가 가장 높고, 언어적 설득 점수는 가장 낮은 것으로 나타나 선생님이나 부모님, 친구들의 칭찬과 격려가 충분하지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. 과학적 자기효능감에 미치는 변인들의 영향력을 살펴본 결과, 성공에 대한 경험이 가장 큰 설명력을 가지고 있었다. 두 번째로 자기효능감 원천 중에 언어적 설득의 설명력이 높았고, 세 번째로는 창의적 성향 중 인내가 설명력이 높았다. 이러한 과학적 자기효능감에 영향을 미치는 변인들의 영향력이 학년과 성별에 따라서 약간 상이한 것으로 나타났다.

In beamforming method, source positions are predicted by MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) power method and composite sound fields can then be decomposed into each partial field by beamforming, detenninistically without restriction of the distance between reference microphones and sources. However, reference microphone array shape is important in both MUSIC and beamforming method. Thus the present paper describes the effect of the reference microphone array shape.

As VLSI technology advances rapidly, the operating frequency of digital systems becomes very fast. In such a high-speed system, there are many factors that threaten signal integrity. The noise sources in digital system include the noises in power supply, ground bounce and packaging media and distortions on single and multiple transmission lines. This paper will present a technology survey useful in the design of Gigabit interconnection systems. Some case studies have been constructed which show the lossy transmission line effect of skin effect. dielectric loss, with backplane connectors using the theoretical and practical conditions.
