The frequency of reactor coolant leakage is expected to increase over the lifetime of a nuclear power plant owing to degradation mechanisms, such as flow-acceleration corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. When loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs) occur, several parameters change rapidly depending on the size and location of the cracks. In this study, leak flow during LOCAs is predicted using a deep fuzzy neural network (DFNN) model. The DFNN model is based on fuzzy neural network (FNN) modules and has a structure where the FNN modules are sequentially connected. Because the DFNN model is based on the FNN modules, the performance factors are the number of FNN modules and the parameters of the FNN module. These parameters are determined by a least-squares method combined with a genetic algorithm; the number of FNN modules is determined automatically by cross checking a fitness function using the verification dataset output to prevent an overfitting problem. To acquire the data of LOCAs, an optimized power reactor-1000 was simulated using a modular accident analysis program code. The predicted results of the DFNN model are found to be superior to those predicted in previous works. The leak flow prediction results obtained in this study will be useful to check the core integrity in nuclear power plant during LOCAs. This information is also expected to reduce the workload of the operators.

최근 리튬이온 배터리 사용이 늘어남에 따라 배터리 화재 및 사고 예방의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 사고 예방을 위해서는 배터리 SOH(State of Health)를 예측하여 열화가 많이 진행된 배터리의 교체 시기를 확인하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 배터리의 충전 과정에서 얻을 수 있는 최대 전압 도달 시간, 전류 변화 시간, 최대 온도 도달 시간, IC(Incremental Capacity) 등 4가지 배터리 열화 특성과 어텐션 메커니즘을 이용한 장단기 메모리(Long Short Term Memory, LSTM)를 사용하여 배터리의 열화 상태를 예측하는 모델을 제안한다. NASA에서 제공하는 배터리 데이터 세트를 사용해 제안하는 모델의 성능을 측정한 결과 일반적인 LSTM 모델을 사용하는 경우보다 예측성능의 개선을 확인할 수 있었고, 특히 배터리 교체 주기에 가까운 SOH 90-70% 구간에서 더 우수한 성능을 보였다.

H.264/AVC의 확장 표준으로 제정된 SVC는 향상 계층에서 압축 효율을 높이기 위해 인트라 예측과 인터 예측뿐만 아니라 계층 간 예측을 추가로 수행한다. 그로 인해 부호화 계산량이 더욱 증가되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 SVC 공간적 향상 계층에서 계산량을 효과적으로 감소시키는 빠른 인트라 부호화를 위한 효율적인 모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 크게 2단계로 이루어진다. 1단계에서는 Intra_BL 모드의 RD 값을 이웃 매크로블록의 최적 RD 값과 비교하고 이웃 매크로블록의 최적 예측 모드와 유사한 특성을 이용하여 Intra_BL 모드를 미리 결정한다. 2단계에서는 기본 계층과 향상 계층의 인트라 예측 모드의 상관성을 이용하여 인트라 예측의 후보 모드를 선택적으로 줄임으로써 전체 부호화 시간을 감소시킨다. 실험결과, 제안하는 방법은 JSVM 9.16보다 전체 부호화 시간을 48.15~56.32% 감소하면서 화질의 변화는 거의 없었다.

High efficiency video coding (HEVC)은 H.264/AVC와 같은 이전 비디오 압축 표준 보다 더 높은 압축 효율을 갖는 최신 비디오 압축 표준이다. 화면 내 예측에서 최대 압축 단위 (LCU)들은 quadtree 구조를 통해 64x64부터 8x8까지의 크기를 갖는 더 작은 압축 단위 (CU)들로 나누어지고, 이들은 다시 예측 단위 (PU)들로 나누어진다. 가능한 크기까지 CU를 분할하면서 RDO (Rate Distortion Optimization) 과정을 통해 최적의 CU 분할 형태가 선택된다. 이 과정에서 HEVC는 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 HEVC의 계산량을 줄이기 위해, FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) 코너 검출을 이용하여 화면 내 예측을 위한 고속 CU depth 결정 방법 (FCDD)을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 HEVC와 비교하여 약 0.7%의 BDBR 만큼의 적은 압축 성능 감소와 함께 부호화기에서 약 53.73%의 계산 시간을 감소시켰다.

In order to control the flow of traffics in ATM networks and optimize the usage of network resources, an efficient control mechanism is necessary to cope with congestion and prevent the degradation of network performance caused by congestion. This paper proposes a new UPC(Usage Parameter Control) mechanism that varies the token generation rate and the buffer threshold of leaky bucket by using a Neural Network controller observing input buffers and token pools, thus achieving the improvement of performance. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive algorithm uses of network resources efficiently and satisfies QoS for the various kinds of traffics.

A Numerical study of the cavitation within a centrifugal pump is carried out using CFD commercial code, FLUENT. The objective of this study is to predict the onset of cavitation within the pump blade and the degradation in the pressure rise due to the generation and transport of vapor. A pump designed for the study is a six bladed, one-circular arc impeller design suggested by A.J. Stepanoff et al. The Steady-state calculations are performed for a wide range of flow rate without the cavitation to investigate the pump performance. The design head and efficiency show a very good agreement with the numerical results at the design flow rate. After the validation with the numerical results, the pump performance and the onset of cavitation within the blade is predicted by changing NPSH at the design flow rate.

An 1-bit DPCM image coding method is presented. Our method is specially designed to reduce the slope overload which seems to be the major performance degradation factor in 1-bit DPCM. In the present algorithm, based on the classification of neighborhoods by its flatness, slope strength and direction, predictor and quantizer operate adaptively through switching action. Compared with some other methods by computer simulation, proposed method shows improved performance in image quality as well as in signal to noise ratio. This gain mainly comes from the reduced slope overload and seems large to compensate the increased complexity in prediction. As a post processing, Lee filter is used to reduce the granular noise subjectively annoying in flat region.

Number of components and payload systems installed in satellites were found to be exposed to various disturbance sources such as the reaction wheel assembly, the control moment gyro, coolers, and others. A micro-level of vibration can introduce jitter problems into an optical payload system and cause significant degradation of the image quality. Moreover, the prediction of on-orbit vibration effects on the performance of optical payloads during the development process is always important. However, analyzing interactions between subsystems and predicting the vibration level of the payloads is extremely difficult. Therefore, this paper describes the analytical and experimental approach to microvibration effects on satellite optical payload performance with integrated jitter analysis framework, micro vibration emulator and satellite structure testbed.

In the present study, the effects of contaminant accumulation and surface roughness on the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blade sections were numerically investigated by using a flow solver based on unstructured meshes. The turbulent flow over the rough surface was modeled by a modified ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model. The calculations were made for the NREL S809 airfoil with varying contaminant sizes and positions at several angles of attack. It was found that as the contaminant size increases, the degradation of the airfoil performance becomes more significant, and this trend is further amplified near the stall condition. When the contaminant is located at the upper surface near the leading edge, the loss in the aerodynamic performance of the blade section becomes more critical. It was also found that the surface roughness leads to a significant reduction of lift, in addition to increased drag.

Existing standard speech coders can provide speech communication of high quality while they degrade the performance of speech recognition systems that use the reconstructed speech by the coders. The main cause of the degradation is that the spectral envelope parameters in speech coding are optimized to speech quality rather than to the performance of speech recognition. For example, mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) is generally known to provide better speech recognition performance than linear prediction coefficient (LPC) that is a typical parameter set in speech coding. In this paper, we propose a speech coder using MFCC instead of LPC to improve the performance of a server-based speech recognition system in network environments. However, the main drawback of using MFCC is to develop the efficient MFCC quantization with a low-bit rate. First, we explore the interframe correlation of MFCCs, which results in the predictive quantization of MFCC. Second, a safety-net scheme is proposed to make the MFCC-based speech coder robust to channel error. As a result, we propose a 8.7 kbps MFCC-based CELP coder. It is shown from a PESQ test that the proposed speech coder has a comparable speech quality to 8 kbps G.729 while it is shown that the performance of speech recognition using the proposed speech coder is better than that using G.729.
