In this paper an anti-lock brake system (ABS) for commercial buses is proposed based on a fuzzy-logic controller and a sliding-mode observer of the vehicle speed. The brake controller generates pulse width modulated (PWM) control inputs to the solenoid valve of each brake, as a function of the estimated wheel slip ratio. PWM control inputs at the brakes significantly reduce chattering in the brake system compared with conventional on-off control inputs. The sliding-mode observer estimates the vehicle speed with measurements of wheel speed, which is then sed to compute the wheel slip ratio. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is validated by a series of computer simulations of bus driving, where the 14-DOF bus model is used.

We present observational estimation of the infrared (IR) luminosity function (LF) of local (z < 0.3) star-forming (SF) galaxies derived from the AKARI NEP-Wide samples. We made an analysis of the NEP-Wide data with optical spectroscopic information allowing an accurate determination of luminosity function. Spectroscopic redshifts for about 1650 objects were obtained with MMT/Hectospec and WIYN/Hydra, and the median redshifts is about 0.22. To measure the contribution of SF galaxies to the luminosity function, we excluded AGN sample by comparing their SEDs with various model template. Spectroscopic redshifts and the AKARI's continuous filter coverage in the mid-IR (MIR) wavelength (2 ~ 25 micron) enable us to avoid large uncertainties from the mid-IR SED of galaxies and corresponding k-corrections. The 8-micron luminosity function shows a good agreement with the previous works in the bright-end, whereas it seems not easy to constrain the faint-end slope. The comparison with the results of the NEP-Deep data (Goto et al. 2010) suggests the luminosity evolution to the higher redshifts, which is consistent with the down-sizing evolutionary pattern of galaxies.

The shape of a galaxy's spectral energy distribution ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths provides crucial information about the underlying stellar populations, metal contents, and star-formation history. Therefore, analysis of the SED is the main means through which astronomers study distant galaxies. However, interstellar dust absorbs and scatters UV and optical light, re-emitting the absorbed energy in the mid-IR and Far-IR. I present the updated 3D Monte-Carlo radaitive transfer code MoCafe to compute the radiative transfer of stellar, dust emission through a dusty medium. The code calculates the emission expected from dust not only in pure thermal equilibrium state but also in non-thermal equilibrium state. The stochastic heating of very small dust grains and/or PAHs is calculated by solving the transition probability matrix equation between different vibrational, internal energy states. The calculation of stochastic heating is computationally expensive. A pilot study of radiative transfer models of SEDs in clumpy (turbulent), galactic environments, which has been successfully used to understand the Calzetti attenuation curves in Seon & Draine (2016), is also presented.

In this paper, we describe a multimedia data processing model that supports wide variety of applications based on multimedia production model. This model supports network-transparent access to stored multimedia data, real-time mult media input devices, and multimedia processing. The model addresses real-time dato a switching and delivery, as well as acquisition, processing, and output. Most translation, compression, and synchronization services are integrated. This model consists of three layers: (1) stream, (2) multimedia presentation, (3) hyperpresentaion. This paper describes the data abstractions associated with each layer. These data abstractions provide a framework for defining the services provided by each layer, and describe the object-oriented mechanisms that provide those services. A sample scenario is presentated to illustrate the use of this model. A server-client architecture and implementation issues, and future directions are also discussed. sed.

The bed change analysis near the opening gate of a dam or weir to release deposited sediments have been conducted mostly using the numerical models. However, the use of unverified input parameters in the numerical model is able to produce the different results with natural and real conditions. Also, the bed changes near the opening gate of a dam or weir calculated with a numerical model could be varied depending on the geometry extent included the downstream area with supercritical flow in the model. In addition, the different time steps could provide different results in the bed change calculation, even though other conditions such as input parameters, geometries, and total simulation time were same. Therefore, in this study, hydraulic experiments were performed to validate the eddy viscosity coefficient which is the one of important input parameters in the RMA2 model and relevant to variation of simulation results. The bed changes were calculated using the SED2D model based on flow results calculated in the RMA2 model with the verified and selected eddy viscosity coefficient and also compared with experimental results. The bed changes near the opening gate were underestimated in the numerical model comparing with experimental results except only the numerical case without the modeling section of sediment release pipe and downstream area where the supercritical flow was produced. For the simulation of minimum time steps, different shapes of scour hole were produced in numerical and physical modeling.

In this paper, we propose a Dilated Convolution Gate Linear Unit (DCGLU) to mitigate the lack of sparsity and small receptive field problems caused by the segmentation map extraction process in sound event detection with weak labels. In the advent of deep learning framework, segmentation map extraction approaches have shown improved performance in noisy environments. However, these methods are forced to maintain the size of the feature map to extract the segmentation map as the model would be constructed without a pooling operation. As a result, the performance of these methods is deteriorated with a lack of sparsity and a small receptive field. To mitigate these problems, we utilize GLU to control the flow of information and Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) to increase the receptive field without additional learning parameters. For the performance evaluation, we employ a URBAN-SED and self-organized bird sound dataset. The relevant experiments show that our proposed DCGLU model outperforms over other baselines. In particular, our method is shown to exhibit robustness against nature sound noises with three Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) levels (20 dB, 10 dB and 0 dB).

하천의 골재는 도로, 항만, 주택건설 등 다양한 건설재료로 이용되어 왔으며 급속한 산업화와 더불어 국가건설사업, 지방자치단체의 수익사업으로 인해 골재 수요가 급격히 증가해 왔다. 그러나 체계적인 조사 및 연구가 없이 무분별하게 행해진 하천준설은 하상저하, 하천의 불안정, 하상의 장갑화 등 물리적 영향뿐만 아니라 주변 하천의 식생, 저서생물의 서식처 등 수서생태계의 파괴, 하천정화능력 저하, 교각의 노출 등 생물적 경제적인 측면에서 악영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천준설사업이 꾸준히 진행 중에 있는 낙동강 유역의 감천을 연구대상지역으로 선정하여, 2차원 수치모형인 RMA-2를 이용하여 준설에 따른 동수역학적 흐름특성의 변화를 모의하고, SED2D를 이용하여 단기하상변동을 예측하였다. 지형자료는 수치지도 및 실측자료를 토대로 하여 구축하였으며, 준설 전 후의 하상변동을 모의해 비교 분석한 결과, 하도중심에서의 흐름특성은 준설전에 비해 수위가 평균 0.85 m 저하되었고, 하상은 평균 0.56 m 저하되었다. 대상유역의 수위와 유속은 준설전에 비해 준설후에 안정적인 특성을 나타냈다. 또한, 준설전 후 전반적으로 하상상승이 발생하였으며 이는 상류에서의 유사유입량이 많아 퇴적이 많이 일어난 것으로 판단되며, 준설후는 준설전에 비해 하류에서의 퇴적량이 적게 나타났으며 이는 준설구간에서의 퇴적으로 인해 하류 유사이송이 적게 일어난 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천준설에 따른 하천환경 및 물리적 영향을 최소화하고, 교란하천의 복원 및 관리 등에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Destruction process of toluene using a wire-cylindrical BBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) reactor packed with catalysts was investigated to characterize the synergetic effects of non-thermal plasma and catalyst process. The catalysts used in the present study were ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$BO$_3$ and Pt/${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$. Under the numerous test conditions, specific energy density (SED (J/L)) and the conversion of toluene, defined as (1 -[C$_{f}$]/[C$_{i}$]), were measured. The test results showed that toluene decomposition efficiency followed the pseudo-first order in the case of plasma only process. The pseudo-first order process, however, was modified to pseudo-zeroth order reaction in the case of catalyst-assisted plasma process. This modification of the reaction order was verified based on a simple kinetic model proposed in the present study. Owing to the modification of reaction order, which resulted from the catalytic process, the specific energy to achieve the high removal efficiencies, i.e. 80~90%, was reduced significantly.y.y.

Recently, various and effective contrast based salient object detection models to focus on a single target have been proposed. However, there is a lack of research on detection of multiple objects, and also it is a more challenging task than single target process. In the multiple target problem, we are confronted by new difficulties caused by distinct difference between properties of objects. The characteristic of existing models depending on the global maximum distribution of data point would become a drawback for detection of multiple objects. In this paper, by analyzing limitations of the existing methods, we have devised three main processes to detect multiple salient objects. In the first stage, regional features are extracted from over-segmented regions. In the second stage, the regional features are categorized into homogeneous cluster using the mean-shift algorithm with the kernel function having various sizes. In the final stage, we compute saliency scores of the categorized regions using only spatial features without the contrast features, and then all scores are integrated for the final salient regions. In the experimental results, the scheme achieved superior detection accuracy for the SED2 and MSRA-ASD benchmarks with both a higher precision and better recall than state-of-the-art approaches. Especially, given multiple objects having different properties, our model significantly outperforms all existing models.

CS molecule is known to be adsorbed onto dust in cold dense cores, causing its significant depletion in the center region of cores. This study is aimed to investigate the depletion of CS molecule with optically thin $C^{34}S$ molecular line observations, including significance of its differentiation depending on the evolutionary status of the dense cores. We mapped five evolved starless cores, L1544, L1552, L1689B, L694-2 and L1197 using two molecular lines, $C^{34}S$ (J=2-1) and $N_2H^+$ (J=1-0) with NRO 45 m telescope. The $H^2$ column density and temperature structures of each targets were obtained by SED fitting for Herschel continuum images and the internal number density profiles by model fitting. All of the integrated intensity maps of $C^{34}S$ show depletion holes and 'semi-ring-like' distribution, indicating that the depletion of CS is clear and general. The radial profiles of CS abundance also show significant decrease towards the core center, while $N_2H^+$ abundance is almost constant or enhanced. We find that the more evolved cores with higher $H^2$ density tend to have a stronger depletion of CS. Our data strongly support claims that CS molecule generally depletes out in the central regions of starless dense cores and such chemical differentiation is closely related to their evolution.
