본 기술 보고는 임계 열유속(Critical Heat Flux; CHF)을 예측하기 위해 사용되고 있는 상관식의 형태와 적용 방법, 이에 따른 예측 오차와 여유도의 변화 등을 종합적으로 분석한다. CHF 현상에 대해서는 지난 반 세기 동안 발생 메커니즘, 예측 모델, 설계에의 적용 방법 등에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 수행되어 대부분의 운전 조건에 대해 신뢰할만한 예측 모델들이 확립되어 있다. 그러나 예측 모델의 이용에서 가장 중요한 기준이 되는 예측 오차의 의미가 잘못 이해되는 경우가 많으므로, 이 글에서는 예측 모델의 형태 및 적용 방법에 따라 예측 오차가 달라지는 원인을 명확하게 해석하고, 실제 계산을 통하여 예시하였다. 그리고 상관식 형태 및 이용 방법에 따라 임계 열유속비(Critical Heat Flux Ratio: CHFR)와 임계 출력비(Critical Power Ratio; CPR)가 어떠한 관계를 갖는가를 논의하였다.

We studied on the decoloring effect of viscose rayon by vapor type ozone processing using ozone's strong oxidation. When ozone is generated, it becomes high concentration in vapor state, but in the insolving process with water, there are a lot of lose of ozone. As a result, a study using ozone in vapor-high concentration state is needed. So, in this paper, vapor type ozone processing is used unlike previous ozone treatment method-an aqueous solution method-to get a good effect from shortening the processing time. When vapor type ozone processing was directly treated to fabrics, high concentration ozone was generated then in a short time oxidized a dye existed in fabrics and finally decolored it. As vapor type ozone did not directly response to an organic dye, viscose rayon's decolorization was to be studied by changing pick up ratio(60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%) using water as a medium. When pick up ratio of water was 40%, fabric's whiteness was improved but tensile strength and elongation were reduced. So 60 minutes was assumed as the most adjust time to minimize the reduction of fabric's tensile strength and elongation moreover of maximize the improvement of whiteness.

In this study, we compared the dose using the DAP (Dose Area Product) and Air kerma values across the five most frequently used views in percutaneous coronary intervention, We also evaluated the images based on Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Compared to the control group, which did not use magnification, reducing the Field of View (FOV) for magnification resulted in a statistically significant increase in the average DAP and average Air kerma values across all five views. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the control group and the magnification method that used the Live zoom function. When comparing the CNR of the magnification method using the Live zoom function and the magnification method by reducing the FOV, it was confirmed that the average CNR and average SNR values were significantly improved in all but one of the 15 points. Therefore, it was confirmed that the magnification method using the Live zoom function improved the image quality without increasing the dose.

In this paper, we introduce a novel entropy coding method to improve the JPEG image compression standard. JPEG is one of the most widely used image compression methods due to its high visual quality for the compression ratio, and especially because of its high efficiency. Based on the observation that the blocks of data fed to the entropy coder usually contain consecutive sequences of numbers with small magnitudes including 0, 1, and -1, we separate those sequences from the data and encode them using a method dedicated to those values. We further improve the compression ratio based on the fact that this separation makes the lengths of blocks much shorter. In our experiment, we show that the proposed method can outperform the JPEG standard preserving its visual characteristics.

Stretchable Polypyrrole films using functionalized doping agent, di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt (NaDEHS), were synthesized by chemical and electrochemical method. Chemically and electrochemically Prepared Polypyrrole films were stretch-oriented (L/L$\_$0/＝ 1.0 ∼ 2.5) by zone drawing method and the electrical conductivities were measured. As the draw ratio was increased, the electrical conductivities were increased. This result was confirmed by the increase in crystallinity through the increase in draw ratio. The temperature dependence of electrical conductivity showed that 3D-variable range hopping model (L/L$\_$0/ ＝ 1.0∼2.0) and ID-VRH model (L/L$\_$0/ ＝ 2.5) gave the best fit to the data for stretched Ppy-DEHS films.

A binary decision model which is used to denoising has demerits to measure the precise ratio of signal to noise because of only a binary classification. To supplement these demerits, complex statistical model and undecimated wavelet transform are generally exploited. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction method using a multi-level decision model for measuring the ratio of noise in noisy image. The propose method achieves good denoising performance with orthogonal wavelet transform because the ratio of signal to noise can be calculated to multi-valued form. In simulation results, the proposed denoising method outperforms 0.1dB in the PSNR sense than the state of art denoising algorithms using orthogonal wavelet transform.

This study was carried out to evaluate the change of heating value of cow manure by applying pre-treatment process. Three types of treatment precess; Composting, Dry anaerobic digestion and Physical compression were applied as a pre-treatment method. Composting and anaerobic digestion of cow manure were cause of caloric value reduction of the cow manure. The heating value of cured compost was 5% lower than that of initial composting material. The heating value of dry anaerobic digestion residue was 25.7% lower than that of fresh cow manure. By physical compression of cow manure, heating value and VS/TS ratio (Volatile solids/Total solids ratio) of compressed cow manure were higher than that of fresh cow manure. On the other hand, heating value and VS/TS ratio of leachate generated by compression process were lower than those of fresh cow manure.

Line special frequency (LSF) parameters have been widely used in low bit-rate speech coding due to their efficiency for representing the short-time speech spectrum. In this paper, a new distance measure based on the masking properties of human ear is proposed for quantizing LSF parameters whereas most conventional quantization methods are based on the weighted Euclidean distance measure. The proposed method derives the perceptual distance measure from the definition of noise-to-mask ratio (NMR) which has high correspondence with the actual distortion received in the human ear and uses it for quantizing LSF parameters. In addition, we propose an adaptive bit allocation scheme, which allocates minimal bits to LSF parameters maintaining the perceptual transparency of given speech frame for reducing the average bit-rates. For the performance evaluation, we has shown the ratio of perceptually transparent frames and the corresponding average bit-rates for the conventional and proposed methods. By jointly combining the proposed distance measure and adaptive bit allocation scheme, the proposed system requires only 770 bps for obtaining 95.5% perceptually transparent frames, while the conventional systems produce 89.9% at even 1800 bps.

This paper proposes the method to generate new test data using the sample shift of the start frame for SPRT(sequential probability ratio test) in speaker verification. The SPRT method is a effective algorithm that can reduce the test computational complexity. However, in making the decision procedure, SPRT can be executed on the assumption that the input samples are usually to be i.i.d. (Independent and Identically Distributed) samples from a probability density function (pdf), also it's not suitable method to apply for the short utterance. The proposed method can achieve SPRT regardless of the utterance length of the test data because it is method to generate the new test data through the sample shift of start frame. Also, the correlation property of data to be considered in the SPRT method can be effectively removed by employing the principal component analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed method increased the computational complexity of data for sample shift a little, but it has a good performance result more than a conventional method above the average 0.7% in EER (equal error rate).

This paper proposes a noise suppression method through SNR (Singal-to Noise Ratio) estimation in the two microphone array environment of close spacing. The conventional method uses a noise suppression method for a gain function obtained through the SNR estimation based on coherence function from full band. However, this method cause performance decreased by the noise damage that affects all the feature vector component. So, we propose a noise suppression method that allocates a frequency domain signal into N constant multi frequency band and each frequency band gets a gain function through SNR estimation based on coherence function. Performance evaluation of the proposed method is shown by comparison with PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) value which is an objective quality evaluation method provided by the ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication).
