음성신호의 스펙트럼으로부터 MFCC를 추출할 때, 일반적으로 필터뱅크의 처리과정에서 삼각형 형태의 필터를 사용한다. 그러나 더 나은 인식성능을 위해, 훈련 음성데이터의 스펙트럼에 PCA를 적용하여 필터뱅크의 필터형태를 최적화하는 PCA-optimized 필터뱅크 방법이 Lee et al. 에 의해 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 대용량의 4연숫자 전화음성 DB를 사용하여PCA-optimized 필터뱅크 기반의 MFCC 특징파라미터를 추출하고 인식실험을 수행한 후, 기존의 삼각형 형태의 필터를 사용하는 MFCC와 각 대역별 로그에너지로 가중시켜서 얻어지는 MFCC와의 인식성능을 비교하였다. 실험결과, PCA-optimized 필터뱅크 기반의 MFCC 특징파라미터가 기존의 삼각형 형태의 필터뱅크 기반 MFCC에 비해 조금 향상된 인식률을 나타내었지만, 각 대역별 로그에너지로 가중치를 주어 얻어지는 MFCC보다는 인식률이 떨어졌다.

Quantitative analysis was performed to confirm that moire artifact was removed without loss of image when using grid suppression software in the diagnosis of micro lesions. we showed that grid suppression images can be morphologically different from original images as they are significantly lower than those of the optimized grid in the similarity analysis with reference images in mammographic phantom images. We were confirmed that images of microcalcification with smaller signal than noise were lost because the pixel values of all lesions increased significantly after the grid suppression, The change in contrast using the NORMI 13 X-ray test phantom was reduced to 30% of the reference image, This result was significantly lower than the 90% when using the optimized grid. In conclusion, the use of grid suppression software in clinical images should be carefully considered because of the possibility of misdiagnosis due to micro lesion loss and morphological changes.

This paper deals with the development of a realistic shape optimization of damaged columns that are subjected to conservative and non-conservative forces, using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The analysis is based on the design of the most optimized shape of the column under the constraint of constant weight, considering the Static, Vibrational, and Flutter characteristics. Under the action of conservative and non-conservative longitudinal forces, an elastic column loses its stability. A numerical analysis based on FEM has been performed on a uniform damaged column, to compute the fundamental buckling load, vibration frequency, and flutter load, under various end restraints. An optimization search based on the Genetic Algorithm is then executed, to find the optimal shape design of the column. The optimized column references the one having the highest buckling load, highest vibration frequency, and highest flutter load, among all the possible shapes of the column, for a given volume. A comparison is then made between the values obtained for the optimized damaged column, and those obtained for the optimized undamaged column. The comparison reveals that the incorporation of damage in the column alters its optimal shape to only a certain extent. Also, the critical load and frequency values for the optimized damaged column are comparatively low, compared with those obtained for the optimized undamaged column. However, these results hold true only for moderate-intensity damage cases. For high intensity damage, the optimal shape may not remain the same, and may vary, according to the severity of damage.

In-phase control and energy-optimized control are the two major control strategies proposed for series power quality controllers (SPQC). However quantitative analysis and comparison between these two control strategies is quite limited in previous publications. In this paper, an extensive quantitative analysis is carried out on these two control strategies through phasor diagram approach, and a detailed quantitative comparison is conducted accordingly. The load current is used as the reference phasor, and this leads to a simpler and clearer phasor diagram for the quantitative relationship. Subsequently detailed analysis of SPQC using in-phase control and energy-optimized control are provided respectively, under different modes both for under voltage/voltage sag and for over voltage/voltage swell. The closed form analytic expressions and the curves describing SPQC compensation characteristics are obtained. The detailed system power flow is figured out for each mode, and the detailed quantitative comparison between the two control strategies is then carried out. The comparison covers several aspects of SPQC, such as required compensating voltage magnitude, required capacity of energy storage component, and maximal ride-through time. In the end, computer simulation and prototype experimental results are shown to verify the validity of all the analysis and the result of the comparison.

In this paper, the optimized design for bow structure was investigated by using EDISON software. Considering the mechanism of the bow, non-linear FEM analysis was essential. The factors of the design are height, width, number of holes and taper value. High performance of the internal energy and lowest mass were main issues. The limit of the von-mises stress was yield strength for the material. Material was chosen by considering typical bow material, Aluminum. Using Taguchi method($L_9$), 9 models were selected and contribution rate was calculated for each factors. Following the contribution rate, 3 factors were fixed and optimized model was predicted. After making optimized model for FEM analysis, the value of internal-energy, mass for FEM model were compared with predicted value, calculated the percentage error and figure out the reliability of Taguchi method.

A construction workspace is considered as a critical factor to secure constructability and safety of a project. Specially, optimized size of each workspace helps to minimize any conflicts between workspaces, works and resources within a workspace in the construction site. However, since an existing method for making a decision workspace's size depends on generally experiences of managers and work conditions of activity, it is difficult to perform safe works considering feasible workspace size. The workspace size is changed according to the quantity of resources allocated into each activity as time progresses. Accordingly, it is desirable that optimized workspace size considering input size of resources is determined. To solve these issues, this study configures an optimized model for deciding standard size of workspaces by simple regression analysis and develops a visualized scenario model for simulating the optimized workspace shape in order to support BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment. For this, this study determines an optimized resource shape size considering maximum working radius of each resource and constructs its visual model. Subsequently, input size of resources for each activity is estimated considering safety execution area of resources and workspaces. Based on this, an optimized 3D workspace shape is generated as a VR simulation model of a BIM system based on the suggested methodologies. Moreover, operational feasibility of the developed system is evaluated through a case study for a bride project. Therefore, this study provides a visualized framework so that project managers can establish an efficient workspace planning in BIM environment. Besides, it is expected that constructability, productivity and safety of the project will be improved by minimizing conflicts between workspace and congestions between resources within a workspace in the construction phase.

The aim of this study was comparative analysis of sediment-induced erosion on optimized design and traditional design of Francis runner blade. The analysis was conducted through laboratory experiments in a test rig called Rotating Disc Apparatus. The results showed that the extent of erosion was significantly less in the optimized design when compared based on the material loss. It was observed that the optimized design could reduce sediment erosion by about 14.4% if it was used in place of the reference design for entire duration of the experiment. Based on the observations and results obtained, it has been concluded that the optimization of hydraulic design of blade profile of Francis runner can significantly reduce the effect of sediment-induced erosion.

In this paper, a zinc electrowinning cell is fully optimized to achieve a uniform current distribution at electrode surfaces. To effectively deal with an electromagnetically coupled problem with multi-dimensional design variables, a sampling-based sensitivity approach is combined with a highly tuned multiphysics simulation model. The model involves the interrelation between electrochemical reactions and electromagnetic phenomena so as to predict accurate current distributions in the electrowinning cell. In the sampling-based sensitivity approach, Kriging-based surrogate models are generated in a local window, and accordingly their sensitivity values are extracted. Such unique design strategy facilitates optimizing very complicated multiphysics and multi-dimensional design problems. Finally, ten design variables deciding the electrolytic cell structure are optimized, and then the uniformity of current distribution in the optimized cell is examined through the comparison with existing cell designs.
