This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a medium scale rice polisher of 2.5 t/h and to improve its performance for producing the clean rice with high quality. The maximum internal pressure, broken rice ratio. whiteness in the rice polisher were investigated, and the effects of outlet resistance, water spraying rate, shaft revolution speed and rice moisture content on the polishing performance were analyzed to find out proper operating conditions. The conclusions of this study were as follows: 1. In the performance evaluation of the polisher, the broken rice ratio increment of 0.1%, the max. internal pressure of about 11 N/${cm}^2$, and whiteness increment of 2.2~3.7 resulted at the conditions of 20 PS driving power, 950 rpm, 150 cc/min water spraying rate, 44.1 Nㆍcm outlet resistance and about 15% rice moisture content. 2. Though max. internal pressure and whiteness at the 17% rice moisture content were higher than those at the 15% moisture content under the same operating conditions of the polisher, but the broken rice rate at the 17% moisture content was absolutely low compared with that at 15% moisture content. The water spraying effect to reduce broken rice and to increase whiteness was much significant at the 15% moisture content not significant at 17% moisture content. 3. The main parameter of the performance was outlet resistance, and low resistance of about 44.1 Nㆍcm was recommended at the polisher. 4. The proper water spraying rate in the polisher was about 150 cc/min. 5. As the shaft revolution speed decreased from 950 rpm and 800 rpm to 650 rpm, the broken rice ratio increased and whiteness decreased. 6. As the driving power of the polisher increased from 20 PS to 30 PS, the max. internal pressure decreased by about 1~2.5 N/${cm}^2$ and whiteness increased by about 1~2, but the broken rice rate was not changed. 7. The proper operating conditions of the polisher seemed to be the revolution speed of 800-950 rpm, the water spraying rate of about 150 cc/min, the oulet resistance of about 44.1 N.cm and 30 PS driving power.

본 논문에서는 확산기반 분자통신 채널에서 랜덤오류와 ISI에 의한 오류 모두에 효율적인 직렬연결 부호를 제안하였다. ISI 제거를 위해 설계된 ISI 완화 부호와 랜덤오류에 강한 ISI 해밍부호를 결합하여 직렬연결 부호를 구성하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 오율 성능을 분석하였다. 방사 분자수 M=1,200 이상인 채널 환경의 경우 직렬연결 부호의 오율 성능은 ISI에 강한 ISI 완화부호의 오율 성능을 따라가며, M=600 이하의 채널 환경에서는 랜덤오류에 강한 ISI 해밍부호의 오율 성능을 따라가고 있음을 알 수 있다. M=600~1,200의 구간에서 직렬연결 부호는 가장 우수한 오율 성능을 보여주는데 이는 랜덤오류와 ISI에 의한 오류가 병존하는 구간에서 두 오류 모두를 정정할 수 있기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. M=800 이하의 경우 직렬연결 부호와 ISI 완화부호의 오율은 평균적으로 약 1.0×10^-1 의 오율 격차를 보여줌을 알 수 있었다.

A rate control strategy in the MPEG is critical to the quality of the reconstructed image sequence. In this paper, were propose a rate control algorithm which can improve the coding performance for a given bit constraint. The proposed algorithm use the distortion-rate curve for the fine adjustment of the quantization scaling factor of each region. This algorithm can also handle the problem due to scene change effectively. It can be easily applicable to existing MPEG coders. Simulation results show that the performance for the algorithm is better than the rate control algorithm in the MPEG-2 TM5.

The effects of compressor design conditions on the off-design performance of a single-shaft gas turbine engine have been studied. Three different geometric design conditions are considered and three different values for the specific mass flow rate at the inlet to the compressor are assumed. For each of nine compressor design, the off-design performance of the gas turbine engine is predicted using the method previously proposed by present authors. Results show that the predicted off-design performances are quite different from each other even though they have the same performance at design point: it means that compressor design conditions should be determined in consideration of the off-design performance of the engine. The specific mass flow rate at the inlet to the compressor is also shown that it might be optimized with respect to the net power of the engine.

In this study well-known burned rate expressions of Weibe function and double Wiebe function have been adopted for the combustion analysis of large two stroke marine diesel engine. A cycle simulation program was also developed to predict the performance and pressure waves in pipes using validated burned rate function,. Levenberg-Marquardt iteration method was applied to cali-brate the shape coefficients included in double Wiebe function for the performance prediction of two-stroke marine diesel engine. As a result the performance prediction using double Wiebe func-tion is well correlated withexperimental dta with the accuracy of 5% and pressure waves in intake and transport pipe are well predicted. From the results of this study it can be confirmed that the shape coefficients of burned rate function should be modified using the numerical method suggested for the accurated prediction and double Wiebe function is more suitable than Wiebe func-tion for combustion analysis of large two stroke marine engine.

MC-CDMA, a multicarrier (MC) modulation scheme based on code division multiple access (CDMA), is the most likely candidate for the next generation of mobile radio communications. The rate compatible punctured turbo (RCPT) coded hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) has been found to give improved throughput performance in a direct sequence (DS) CDMA system. However, the extent to which the RCPT HARQ improves the throughput performance of an MC-CDMA system has not been fully understood. In this paper, we apply the RCPT HARQ to MC-CDMA and evaluate by computer simulations its performance in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. We found that the performance of RCPT HARQ MC-CDMA is almost insensitive to channel characteristics. The performance can be drastically improved with receive diversity combined with space-time transmit diversity. In addition, the comparison of RCPT HARQ MC-CDMA, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, and DS-CDMA shows that under similar conditions the throughput of MC-CDMA is the best in a frequency selective fading channel.

We compare engineering students' learning performance in introductory Statistics classes of the two class types, traditional in-classroom classes with a few reports and real-time online classes with quizzes. Rates of missing classes and turning in homeworks are also included to explain learning attitude. Scores of quizzes, midterm test and final test are used to assess performance. Upto the midterm, the class type is not significant, but rates of missing classes and turning in homeworks are significant. Since the midterm, in-classroom class type reveals better final performance than real-time online class type, rate of turning in homeworks is significant, but rate of missing classes is not significant.

본 논문에서는 자동 음성 인식기의 성능 저하를 일으키는 요인으로서 발성 속도의 변동에 따를 성능 저하를 보상하기 위한 기법을 제안하였다. 새로운 기법의 제안에 앞서서. 먼저 발성 속도의 변화에 따른 기존의 은닉 마코프 모델을 이용한 음성 인식기의 성능을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 통해 발성 속도에 따른 유의한 성능 저하를 관찰하고, 주어진 음성으로부터 발성 속도를 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있는 변수를 도입하였다. 발성 속도를 학습 시 사용한 음성과 유사하게 변화시키기 위해 본 논문에서는 음성 신호에 대한 시간축 변환을 사용하였으며, 최종적으로 발성 속도에 따라 선택적으로 시간축 변환을 적용하여 발성 속도의 변동에 따른 음성 인식의 성능 저하를 보상할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 10자리의 이동통신용 전화번호를 이용한 음성 인식의 실험을 통해, 제안된 기법은 빠르게 발성하는 음성에 대해 15.5％의 오류율 감소를 가져오는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The study investigated the behavior of plain and fibered Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) beams under varying loading conditions using integrated analysis of the flexure and acoustic emission tests. The loading rate of testing is -0.25 -2 mm/min. It is observed that on increasing loading rate, flexural strength increases, and toughness decreases. The acoustic emission testing revealed that higher loading rates accelerate crack propagation. Fiber effect and matrix cracking are identified as significant contributors to the release of acoustic emission energy, with fiber rupture/failure and matrix cracking showing rate-dependent behavior. Crack classification analysis indicated that the rise angle (RA) value decreased under quasi-static loading. The average frequency (AF) value increased with the loading rate, but this trend reversed under rate-dependent conditions. K-means analysis identified distinct clusters of crack types with unique frequency and duration characteristics at different loading rates. Furthermore, the historic index and signal strength decreased with increasing loading rate after peak capacity, while the severity index increased in the post-peak zone, indicating more severe damage. The sudden rise in the historic index and cumulative signal strength indicates the possibility of several occurrences, such as the emergence of a significant crack, shifts in cracking modes, abrupt failure, or notable fiber debonding/pull-out. Moreover, there is a distinct rise in the number of AE knees corresponding to the increase in loading rate. The crack mapping from acoustic emission testing aligned with observed failure patterns, validating its use in structural health monitoring.

This study was undertaken to develop performance measurement indicators in S Hospital, which is the largest component of Y Medical Center which implemented the Responsible Management System in 1993. To begin, strategic initiatives for S Hospital were reestablished based on Y Medical Center's goals and objectives. The BSC(Balanced Scorecard) was used to develop performance measurement indicators after validity checks by specialists. The results were that total 16 indicators were developed to measure performance for strategic initiatives. Those included the growth rate of patient revenues, operating profit to gross revenues, reduction rate in administrative expenses from a financial perspective; average medical expenses per adjusted patient, patient satisfaction survey for inpatients and outpatients and emergency room patients, return rate for treatment results from the customer's perspective; reduction rate in average length of hospital stay, expenses for lost cases of medical disputes, rate for contracted employees, the number of published reports per faculty member from an internal perspective; educational expenses for training medical staff and full time employees, adjusted patient per medical staff, and the number of cases implemented which were proposed by employees. Any organization needs to have its own explicit objectives to grow and develop and it is absolutely necessary to measure performance to accomplish them. The performance measurement indicators developed by this study are expected to be used as a tool to attain the objectives of S Hospital.
