Recently, 8 kb/s CS-ACELP coder of G.729 is atandardized by ITU-T SG15 and it has been reported that the speech quality of G729 is better than or equal to that of 32kb/s ADPCM. However G.729 is the fixed rate speech coder, and it does not consider the property of voice activity in mutual conversation. If we use the voice activity, we can reduce the average bit rate in half without any degradations of the speech quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient variable rate algorithm for G.729. The variable rate algorithm consists of two main subjects, the rate determination algorithm and algorithm, we combine the energy-thresholding method, the phonetic segmentation method by integration of various feature parameters obtained through the analysis procedure, and the variable hangover period method. Through the analysis of noise features, the 1 kb/s sub rate coder is designed for coding the background noise signal. So, we design the 4 kb/s sub rate coder for the unvoiced parts. The performance of the variable rate algorithm is evaluated by the comparison of speed quality and average bit rate with G.729. Subjective quality test is also done by MOS test. Conclusively, it is verified that the proposed variable rate CS-ACELP coder produced the same speech quality as G.729, at the average bit rate of 4.4 kb/s.

This paper concerns the die face design for a heat protect panel aided by the finite element forming analysis in order to eliminate the surface defect and to improve the surface quality. The CAE procedure of the stamping process is introduced in order to reveal the reason of surface inferiorities and to improve surface quality. Complicated shape of the product induces the surface inferiorities such as wrinkling due to the insufficient restraining force of the forming blank and the non-uniform contact of the blank with the tools. This paper proposes a new guideline for the die design which includes the modification of tool shapes and addition of the draw-beads on the tool surface for ensuring the increased the restraining force with the uniform contact condition. The effectiveness of the proposed design is verified by the forming analysis and is confirmed by the tryout operation in the press shop. The analysis and test results show that the modified process parameters such as tool shapes and draw-beads can reduce the tendency of wrinkling and improve surface quality.

품질기능전개(Qualify Function Deployment, QFD)는 새로운 제품의 품질을 보증하기 위한 전략으로써 일본에서 처음 소개된 기법이다. QFD는 1972년 Mitsubish 중공업의 고베 조선소에서 처음 개발되어 사용되었고, 세계적으로 많은 기업들에서 제품을 개발하기 위한 설계단계부터 많이 사용해 오고 있다. QFD와 관련하여 많은 연구들이 수행되어져 오고 있지만, 비용을 고려한 품질기능전개(Cost-based Quality Function Deployment, QFCD)와 관련된 연구들은 활발하게 수행되고 있지 못한 실정이다. QFD 전개에서 비용을 고려하지 않고 수행되어진다면 현실적이지 못한 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 QFCD 개념과 수행절차를 소개함으로써 제품개발결과에 대한 효과성과 효율성을 제고하는데 그 목적이 있다.

Purpose: We sought to understand why a high-speed rotating projectile featuring a fuze-and-body assembly sometimes exhibited airburst, and we intended to improve the flight stability by eliminating airburst. Methods: We performed characteristic factor analysis, structural mechanics modeling, and dynamic modeling and simulation; and we scheduled firing tests to discover the cause of airburst. We used a step-by-step procedure to analyze the reliability function for selecting the bonding force standard that prevents airburst. Results: The 00MM high-speed rotating projectile features a fuze bonded to a body assembly; the bonding sometimes can break on firing. The resulting contact force, vibration and roll damping during flight generated yaw. Flight became unstable; fuze operation triggered an airburst. Our reliability test improved the bonding force standard (the force was increased). When the bonding force was at least the minimum required, a firing test revealed that airburst/flight instability disappeared. Conclusion: Analysis and identification of the causes of flight instability and airburst render military training safer and enhance combat power. Ammunition must perform as designed. Our method can be used to set standards that improve the performances of similar types of ammunition.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to build COD regression models for the Han River and evaluate water quality. Methods: Water quality data sets for the dry season (as of January) during a four-year period (2012-2015) were collected from the database of the Han River automatic water quality monitoring stations. Statistical techniques, including combined genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) were used to build five-descriptor COD models. Multivariate statistical techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) are useful tools for extracting meaningful information. Results: The $r^2$ of the best COD models provided significant high values (> 0.8) between 2012 and 2015. Total organic carbon (TOC) was a surrogate indicator for COD (as COD/TOC) with high reliability ($r^2=0.63$ in 2012, $r^2=0.75$ for 2013, $r^2=0.79$ for 2014 and $r^2=0.85$ for 2015). The ratios of COD/TOC were calculated as 2.08 in 2012, 1.79 in 2013, 1.52 and 1.45 in 2015, indicating that biodegradability in the water body of the Han River was being sustained, thereby further improving water quality. The BOD/COD ratio supported these findings. The cluster analysis revealed higher annual levels of microorganisms and phosphorous at stations along the Hangang-Seoul and Hantangang areas. Nevertheless, the overall water quality over the last four years showed an observable trend toward continuous improvement. These findings also suggest that non-point pollution control strategies should consider the influence of upstreams and downstreams to protect water quality in the Han River. Conclusion: This data analysis procedure provided an efficient and comprehensive tool to interpret complex water quality data matrices. Results from a trend analysis provided much important information about sources and parameters for Han River water quality management.

철도 토공노반의 품질은 현장 밀도나 평판재하시험을 통해 관리되어 왔다. 현재 지반반력계수($k_{30}$)의 경우 일반철도와 고속철도의 설계기준으로도 사용되기 때문에 설계와 품질관리에서 일관성을 갖는다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지반반력계수($k_{30}$), 또는 반복평판재하시험의 결과인 변형계수($E_{v2}$)와 변형계수의 비($E_{v2}/E_{v1}$) 같은 설계인자에 대해 간편한 실내기준 설정 방법이 없어 설계과정의 치명적인 결함으로 남는다. 본 예비연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 최근 개발된 철도 토공노반의 역학적-경험적 설계 방법에도 합당한 새로운 품질관리 기준으로 압축파 속도를 도입하였고 계측 기법을 제안하였다. 품질관리 방안의 핵심은 다짐시험과 병행하여 획득한 최적함수비에서의 압축파 속도를 현장의 품질관리 기준으로 설정하고 현장에서는 시공 중에 직접도달파 기법으로 품질을 확인하는 것이다. 직접도달파 기법은 현장의 기술자가 지표면 얕은 깊이의 균질한 층에서 간편하게 적용할 수 있고 저림하며 결과의 신뢰성이 높다. 시험 부지에서 직접도달파 시험으로부터 계측한 압축파 속도가 다짐도에 따라 식별 가능한지 확인하였고, 품질관리 지표로서 압축파 속도를 효과적으로 적용할 수 있음을 입증하였다. 본 논문의 현장 및 실내 압축파 계측을 통해 동반논문(박철수 등, 2009)에서 수행할 실험적 토대를 마련하였다.

Background: Coronary angioplasty has been replacing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) because of the relative advantage in terms of recovery time and noninvasiveness of the procedure. Compared to other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, Korea has experienced a rapid increase in coronary angioplasty volumes. Methods: We analyzed changes in procedure volumes of CABG and of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from three sources: the OECD Health Data, the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) surgery statistics, and the National Health Insurance claims data. Results: We found the ratio of procedure volume of PCI to that of CABG per 100,000 population was 19.12 in 2014, which was more than triple the OECD average of 5.92 for the same year. According to data from NHIS statistics, this ratio was an increase from 11.4 to 19.3 between 2006 and 2013. Conclusion: We found that Korea has a higher ratio of total procedure volumes of PCI with respect to CABG and also a more rapid increase of volumes of PCI than other countries. Prospective studies are required to determine whether this increase in absolute volumes of PCI is a natural response to a real medical need or representative of medical overuse.
