Background and Objectives: Hearing can be elicited in response to vibratory stimuli delivered to fluid in the external auditory meatus. To obtain a complete audiogram in subjects with normal hearing in response to pure tone vibratory stimuli delivered to fluid applied to the external meatus. Subjects and Methods: Pure tone vibratory stimuli in the audiometric range from 0.25 to 6.0 kHz were delivered to fluid applied to the external meatus of eight participants with normal hearing (15 dB or better) using a rod attached to a standard clinical bone vibrator. The fluid thresholds obtained were compared to the air conduction (AC), bone conduction (BC; mastoid), and soft tissue conduction (STC; neck) thresholds in the same subjects. Results: Fluid stimulation thresholds were obtained at every frequency in each subject. The fluid and STC (neck) audiograms sloped down at higher frequencies, while the AC and BC audiograms were flat. It is likely that the fluid stimulation audiograms did not involve AC mechanisms or even, possibly, osseous BC mechanisms. Conclusions: The thresholds elicited in response to the fluid in the meatus likely reflect a form of STC and may result from excitation of the inner ear by the vibrations induced in the fluid. The sloping fluid audiograms may reflect transmission pathways that are less effective at higher frequencies.

Octreotide는 somatostatin 동족체로서 8개의 aminoacid로 구성된 합성 polypeptide이다. 이는 외분비선과 내분비선, 특히 위의 분비기능과 췌장분비 기능을 억제하는 작용이 강하며 somatostatin에 비하여 체내 반감기가 길고 장기에 대한 선택성이 높기 때문에 소화성 궤양에 의해 유발되는 출혈, 급성췌장염, 그리고 소화기관의 분비선에 나타나는 종양의 치료에 대한 적용이 시도되고 있다. 저자등은 somatostatin이 말초 교감신경에 존재하며, 신경전달인자 또는 신경조정인자로서 작용할것이라는 보고와 임상적용시 혈압과 심박동수를 감소시킨다는 보고에 흥미를 가지고 그 유도체인 octreotide가 말초 교감신경에 미치는 작용을 관찰하기 위하여 다음과 같은 실험을 하였다. 흰쥐 (Sprague-Dawley)의 전립선 부위 정관 절편을 적출 근편 실험조에 현수하여 등척성 장력을 측정하였다. 흰쥐 적출정관은 전기장 자극(duration : 1 mSec, voltage: 50 V, frequency: 5 Hz or 30 Hz, train: 10 Sec)에 대하여 first phasic component (FPC)와 second tonic component (STC)로 구성된 수축 반응을 나타내었으며, 이러한 수축반응은 tetrodotoxin($10^{-6}M$) 전처치로 소실되었다. Octreotide는 전기장 자극에 의해 유발되는 수축 반응을 FPC, STC 모두 농도의존적으로 억제하였다. 그리고 24 시간 전에 reserpine(1 mg/kg, IP)을 전처치하여 norepinephrine을 고갈시킨 흰쥐에서 적출한 정관 절편과 beta-gamma-methylene ATP를 전처치하여 퓨린성 수용체를 탈감작시킴으로써 ATP의 작용을 배재한 정관절편의 전기장 유발 수축을 공히 억제하였다. 이러한 octreotide의 모든 수축 억제 작용들은 5 Hz의 전기장 자극을 가하였을 때, 30 Hz의 전기장 자극을 가하였을 때 보다 더 강하게 나타났다. 그러나 octreotide는 정관 절편의 기본장력에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 외부에서 첨가한 norepinephrine과 ATP에 의해 유발되는 수축반응에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 octreotide는 흰쥐적출 정관의 교감신경성 신경원으로부터 ATP와 norepinephrine의 유리를 억제함으로써 그 수축성을 억제하는 것으로 사료된다.

Geo-pointing is a function that maintains LOS(Line of Sight) to a stationary ground target by controlling azimuth and elevation angles of a EOS(Electro-Optical System) which are calculated from aircraft navigation data and target coordinates. In design and implementation of the geo-pointing, a transmission time delay between GPS/INS and EOS is a major degradation factor of the geo-pointing performance when the aircraft is rapidly maneuvered especially. In this paper, a kalman filter is designed to compensate the transmission time delay of aircraft navigation data. Simulation and test results show that the geo-pointing performance is enhanced by the proposed compensation technique.

In this paper, the Autocoast algorithm is proposed for EOTS to overcome the target occlusion status. Coast mode, one of tracking modes, is to maintain the servo slew rate with the tracking rate right before the loss of track. The Autocoast algorithm makes decision of entering coast mode by the prediction of target occlusion and tries to refind target after the coast time. This algorithm composes of 3 steps, the first step is the prediction process of the occlusion by target-like background, the second one is the check process of the occlusion happened after background intensity variation, and the last one is the process of refinding target. The result of computer simulation, test under laboratory, and real test with EOTS shows the applicability for the automatic video tracking system.

The STC(Sinusoidal Transform Coding) is a vocoding technique that uses a sinusoidal speech model to obtain high- quality speech at low data rate. It models and synthesizes the speech signal with fundamental frequency and its harmonic elements in frequency domain. To reduce the data rate, it is necessary to represent the sinusoidal amplitudes and phases with as small number of peaks as possible while maintaining the speech quality. As a basic research to develop a low-rate speech coding algorithm using the sinusoidal model, in this paper, we investigate the speech quality depending on the number of sinusoids. By varying the number of spectral peaks from 5 to 40 speech signals are reconstructed, and then their qualities are evaluated using spectral envelope distortion measure and MOS(Mean Opinion Score). Two approaches are used to obtain the spectral peaks: one is a conventional STFT (Short-Time Fourier Transform), and the other is a multiresolutional analysis method.

In this thesis, a self-tuning control method based on Variable Structure System technique for tracking control of Direct-Drive motor is presented. The self-tuning control could not make the tracking error zero in the transient period. This tracking error may be due to disturbances or the error in parameter identification. To overcome this problem, a self-tuning control method based on discrete time VSS technique is presented. The STC based on VSS technique gives good tracking performance of the reference signal in the transient period. The proposed controller is robust to parameter errors and disturbances. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of simple STC through digital computer simulation.
