A method to compute the reactive powers of the added buses by the decoupled UPFC model for the optimal voltage profile is presented, by which the voltage magnitudes of PQ buses can get closer to the reference value(usually one p.u.). The performance index for assessing how much the voltage magnitude is closer to the reference value is defined as the squared sum of the present voltage minus the reference voltage multiplied by the weighting number associated with the relative importance of the buses. Numerical example in a 10-unit 39-bus power system with 2 UPFC's shows that the performance index can be very much reduced by operating multi UPFC's with the reactive powers for the optimal voltage profile proposed in this paper.

The economic dispatch problem is important in both power system planning and operation, although there have been major advances in defining and solving more complete Optimal Power Flow(OPF) problems, there exists a need for constrained economic dispatch techniques which, though not as rigorous or as exact an OPF, are fast enough to be used on desktop computers. This paper presents a DC-OPF algorithm that is based upon Relative-Contribution Index in Generators. The transmission constraints are modeled as linear constraint based on a DC-Power-Flow model. An detailed illustrative example is presented.

Speckle noise reduction for ultrasound CT image using morphological adaptive median filtering based on edge preservation is presented in this paper. Speckle noise is multiplicative feature and causes ultrasound image to degrade widely from transducer. An input image is classified into edge region and homogeneous region in preprocessing. The speckle is reduced by morphological operation on the 2D gray scale by using convolution and correlation, and edges are preserved. The adaptive median is processed to reduce an impulse noise to preserve edges. As the result, MAM of the proposed method enhances the image to about 10% in comparison with Winner filter by Edge Preservation Index and PSNR, and 10% to only adaptive median filtering.

The speed-up of conventional trains is considered as one of the efficient methods to relieve traffic jam and to increase the capacity of transportation. In this study, we measured and analyzed the ride comfort of a push-pull Saemaeul Train with speed-up of 5km/h in curves and 10km/h on straight tracks as compared with present operation speed of the push-pull Saemaeul Trains. Four main lines-Honam, Kyungboo, Janghang, Kyungjeon- were chosen as representative lines for speed-up feasibility study. The increase of mean ride comfort index in case of speed-up is 0.5-2㏈. The mean ride comfort index of vertical direction in case of speed-up is 107-110㏈ for Honam line, 104-112㏈ for Kyungboo line, 108-112㏈ for Janghang line and 105-108㏈ for Kyungjeon line, which are rather high as compared with German trains of similar grade with maximum vehicle speed of 160km/h.

To investigate corrosivity characteristics of raw water in Korea, Langelier index (LI) of 30 multi-regional water treatment plants (WTPs) were evaluated. Annual average values of LI at 30 WTPs were all negative, which means raw water in Korea is very corrosive. LI results for 4 major rivers showed that raw water from Han and Nakdong had relatively high values compared to those of Sumjin and Keum. On the other hand, LI values of raw water from the tributaries of four major rivers were relatively low presumably due to geological characteristics, and in some cases the values were less than -4.0 which means increase of LI is urgently needed to minimize red water problem. Based on the correlation results among LI and water quality parameters, pH, water temperature, calcium concentration were confirmed as major components for LI. Therefore, pH and calcium concentration control is an effective method for the improvement of LI in water treatment processes.

In this paper, an architecture for high-speed RNS multiplier were proposed by using com-binational logic circuit. The optimum conditions of moduli set which could be saved hardware and operation time were also considered. In the case of RRNS multiplier, output translation could be achieved effectively by means of the modified CRT with magnitude index. It is shown that the estimated multiplication time is about 31.7 ns in NRNS, whereas 47.95 ns in RRNS, respectively.

This paper discover another boost vectors in high modulation index In steady states, modulation index of converter operation is normally $0.7\~0.8[p.u]$. Even though zero vectors are not imposed, DC-Link voltage is constant because 3-level boost convert has another boost vectors. and this paper proposes the analysis and the comparison for NPC and H-Bridge converter. It proposed the calculation method for the voltage ripple and charging current of each capacitor and deals with voltage balance problems of each link capacitor they are associated with the switching state, the position of reference voltage vector. Simulation and analysis are used in order to prove validity of the proposed methods.

Wavelength tunable, narrowbandwidth wvelength filters in compound semiconductor have been modeled, fabricated, and characterized. In order to obtain a narrow bandpass characteristics at 1.55.$\mu$m, a highly asymmertrical directional coupler structure composed of a strongly guided ridge waveguide and a weakly guided strip-loaded waveguide was used. The optimized filter structure modeling has been obtained by using the spectral index method, effective index method, and the coupled mode theory. Operation at a center wavelength a 1.537.mu.m with a bandwidth of 1.8nm and transfer efficiency of 50-70% is experimentally achieved. For the purpose of center wavelength tuning, the carrier injection in p-n diode structure has been theoretically investigated. It has been found that the tuning range of nanometer can be easily obtained by moderate amount carrier injection. We also found that the bandwidth becomes broad as the center wavelength tuning increases.

The nearest neighbor query is an important operation widely used in multimedia databases for finding the object that is most similar to a given query object. Most of techniques for processing nearest neighbor queries employ multidimensional indexes for effective indexing of objects. However, the performance of previous multidimensional indexes, which use N-dimensional rectangles or spheres for representing the capsule of the object cluster, deteriorates seriously as the number of dimensions gets higher. This paper proposes a new index structure based singular value decomposition resolving this problem and the query processing method using it. We also verify the superiority of our approach through performance evaluation by performing extensive experiments.
