In this paper, a variable time-scale modification using SOLA(Synchronized OverLap and Add) is proposed, which takes into consideration the different time-scaled characteristics of voiced and unvoiced speech, Generally, voiced speech is subject to higher variations in length during time-scale modification than unvoiced speech, but the conventional method performs time-scale modification at a uniform rate for all speech. For this purpose, voiced and unvoiced speech duration at various talking speeds were statistically analyzed. The sentences were then spoken at rates of 0.7, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.8 times normal speed. A clipping autocorrelation function was applied to each analysis frame to determine voiced and unvoiced speech to obtain respective variation rates. The results were used to perform variable time-scale modification to produce sentences at rates of 0.7, 1.3, 1.5, 1.8 times normal speed. To evaluate performance, a MOS test was conducted to compare the proposed voiced/unvoiced variable time-scale modification and the uniform SOLA method. Results indicate that the proposed method produces sentence quality superior to that of the conventional method.

The present study is aimed to investigate flow characteristics of confined jet flow within circular pipe. Numerical method based upon revised SOLA scheme which secures conservation form of convective terms on irregular grids by interpolating the variables appearing in staggered meshes is adopted on cylindrical coordinate formation. Computation was carried out for two kinds of Reynolds number, $10^5\;and\;1.5{\times}10^5$ defined by diameter of outer pipe and time-mean driving jet velocity. Results show that periodic vortex shedding from the jet mixing layer is profound and related unsteady flow characteristics prevail over the entire region. Spatial distribution of pressure and kinetic energy, fluctuation of static wall pressure, together with radial velocity components are examined in terms of instantaneous and time-mean point of views.

Participants were 272 teachers from kindergartens and child care centers who responded to 2 survey questionnaires: translated and revised versions of Laub's (1999) Servant Organizational Leadership Assessment(SOLA) and Jorde-Bloom's(1989) Early Childhood Job Satisfaction Survey(ECJSS). Components of SOLA were values people, develops people, displays authenticity, builds community, provides leadership, and shares leadership; components of ECJSS were co-worker relationships, administrator relationship, job itself, working environment, possibility of rewards/promotions, feelings about the organization. Data were analyzed by SPSS WIN computer program, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analyses. Relationships were found between servant leadership of the early childhood educational institution and job satisfaction. Components of perceived servant leadership that predicted job satisfaction were 'develops people', 'displays authenticity', 'values people' and 'provides leadership.'

본 연구는 자연생태하에서 지속가능한 태양에너지와 생태계작용에 의한 수질개선기법을 개발하기 위하여 생태연못을 설치하여 수질부하가 발생함에 따라 생태연못에 에너지를 순환시켜 생태적 수질정화 기능을 강화하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서 생태연못(Eco-Pond) 시스템의 수질개선 원리는 수중(유입수)의 침전, 유기산 생성, 메탄 발효, 호기성 산화, 광합성 산소배출 및 병원균 제거 등을 촉진시키기 위한 목적으로 축산농가 및 마을단위의 축산 및 생활하수 유입부에서 생태연못을 두어 수질을 개선하는 공법 즉, 산화조(Oxidation Pond)에 SolaBee 시스템을 결합한 모델을 제안하였다. 에너지 순환장치를 이용한 수질개선 방안으로는 태양열 연못 내에 물순환장치를 만들어 수체를 효율적으로 순환시키고 공기를 혼합시켜 부영양화가 진행되는 연못이 수질을 자연친화적으로 개선시키도록 하였다. 따라서 연구결과 태양에너지는 다른 자연에너지(풍력 등)에 비해서 에너지 밀도는 낮지만 지역의존성이 적고 그 양이 방대하여 21세기 중요한 에너지원으로 사용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 에너지 순환구조를 가진 생태연못 시스템은 우리나라 중소규모의 농촌 및 축산농가에 보급 될 수 있는 수질개선 시스템이다.

In this paper, real-time voice change method using pitch change technique is proposed to change one's voice to the other voice. For this purpose, sampling rate change method using DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) method and time scale modification method using SOLA (Synchronized Overlap and Add) method is combined to change pitch. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, voice transformation experiments were conducted. Experimental results showed that original speech signal is changed to the other speech signal in which original speaker's identity is difficult to find. The system is implemented using TI TMS320C6711DSK board to verify the system runs in real time.

Conventional time-scale modification methods have the problem that as the modification rate gets higher the time-scale modified speech signal becomes less intelligible, because they ignore the effect of articulation rate on speech characteristics. In this paper, we propose a variable time-scale modification method based on the knowledge that the timing information of transient portions of a speech signal plays an important role in speech perception. After identifying steady protions only. The result of subjective preference test indicates that the proposed method produces performance superior to that of the conventional SOLA method.

In the present study, sloshing problem is analyzed by the application of Finite Difference Method. SOLA-SURF scheme is applied to the analysis of fluid motion considering free surface. Especially, the concept of impact buffer zone is introduced for the prediction of more realistic impact pressure on tank. Numerical computation is carried out for the typical three models, and the computed results show good agreement with experimental data. The computation is also performed for 300,000 tons VLCC as a real-ship application. From the present study, it is proved that this numerical technique is quite practical to the prediction of sloshing impact pressure.

During the past 50 years methods for predicting wave overtopping of coastal structures have coastal structures have continuously been developed Wave overtopping is one of the most important processes for the design of seawalls. The term 'wave overtopping' is used here to refer to the processes where waves hit a sloping structure run up the slope and, if the crest level of the slope is lower than the highest run up level, overtop the structure. Wave overtopping is dependent on the processes associated with breaking wave. The Numerical model is based on Navier-Stokes equation and Marker-Density Function of method for nonlinear free-surface flow by Miyata & Park(1995). The influence of how the slopes of seawalls, wave type and crest freeboard affect overtopping discharges has been investigated. The research of study using the new development nonlinear free-surface flow numerical model SOLA-VOF are presented.

대형 여객선은, "a ship is its own best lifeboat"라는 개념을 바탕으로 여객선의 안전성(survivability) 향상을 위한 설계가 요구되고 있으며, 이를 위하여, 사고가 발생하더라도 선박의 자체 추진력으로 안전하게 항구까지 귀항하여야 한다는, 여객선의 안전귀항(SRtP) 이라는 개념을 IMO SOLAS에 적용시켰다. SOLAS의 여객선 안전귀항 관련 조항은, 길이 120m 이상인 선박 또는 3개 이상의 주 수직격벽을 가진 선박으로서 2010년 07월 01일 이후 건조되는 여객선에 적용된다. 여객선 안전귀항 관련 조항은 화재와 침수사고에 적용되며, 사고분계점을 넘지 아니하는 사고가 발생할 경우 자체 추진력으로 여객선의 안전한 귀항을 위하여 사용 가능한 상태로 유지되어야 하는 시스템들에 대한 설계 기준, 사고분계점을 초과하는 화재 사고가 발생하였을 경우 질서 정연한 탈출 및 퇴선을 지원하기 위하여 작동상태의 유지가 요구되는 시스템 설계 기준, 사고분계점에 대한 정의, 사고 발생 후에도 여객 및 승무원의 건강을 유지 확보하기 위한 안전구역에 대한 기준들을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 여객선 안전귀항 관련 법규들을 검토하고, 여객선 안전귀항을 위한 시스템들의 능력 평가 방법과 안전귀항 관련 조항 만족을 위한 시스템들의 요구사항들을 검토하였다.
