In this paper, we propose the computation reduction methods of LSP(Line spectrum pairs) transformation that is mainly used in CELP vocoders. In order to decrease the computational time in real root method the characteristic of four proposed algorithms is as the following. First, scheme to reduce the LSP transformation time uses met scale. Developed the second scheme is the control of searching order by the distribution characteristic of LSP parameters. Third, scheme to reduce the LSP transformation time uses voice characteristics. Developed the fourth scheme is the control of searching interval and order by the distribution characteristic of LSP parameters. As a result of searching time, computational amount, transformed LSP parameters, SNR, MOS test, waveform of synthesized speech, speech, spectrogram analysis, searching time reduced about 37.5％, 46.21％, 46.3％, 51.29％ in average, computational amount is reduced about 44.76％, 49.44％, 47.03％, 57.40％. But the transformed LSP parameters of the proposed methods were the same as those of real root method.

(+)-Hernandulcin is a sweet bisabolane-type sesquiterpene first isolated from Lippia dulcis Trev. (Verbenaceae). This oily compound is 1000-1500 times sweeter than sucrose but with poor solubility in water. Microbial transformation was employed to improve its water solubility, and a variety of microorganisms were screened for their ability to convert (+)-hernandulcin to more polar metabolites. Scale-up fermentation with Glomerella cinguiata, a fungal strain, has resulted in the isolation of a more polar metabolite (2).

Microbial transformation of $({\pm})$-6-(1,1-dimethylallyl)naringenin (6-DMAN, 1) and $({\pm})$-5-(O-prenyl) naringenin-4',7-diacetate (5-O-PN, 2) was performed by using fungi. Scale-up fermentation studies with Mucor hiemalis, Cunninghamella elegans var. elegans, and Penicillium chrysogenum led to the isolation of five microbial metabolites. Chemical structures of the metabolites were determined by spectral analyses as $({\pm})$-8-prenylnaringenin (3), (2S)-5,4'-dihydroxy-7,8-[(R)-2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2,3-dihydrofurano]flavanone (4), $({\pm})$-5-(O-prenyl)naringenin-4'-acetate (5), $({\pm})$-naringenin-4'-acetate (6), and $({\pm})$-naringenin (7), of which 5 was identified as a new compound.

Image registration is concerned with the establishment of correspondence between images of the same scene with translational, rotational, and scaling differences. The estimated transformation parameters between images are very important information in the field of many applications. In this paper, we propose a shape matching scheme for finding correspondence points for images with various differences, Tranditional solutions to this area are unreliable for the rotational and schaling changes between images, and the feature extraction of partially occluded scene. To solve those problems, dominant points on digital curves are detected by scale-space filtering, and initial matching is performed by similarity measure of cumulative curvatures for dominant points. For initial matching segments pairs, optimal matching points are calculated using dynamic programming.Finally, transformation parameters are estimated.

The ways in which twentieth-century designers have transformated com mom objects into creative new visions are seemingly infinite yet they conform to certain basic formulas. A remarkable method in those basic formulas can be a transformation. The purpose of this paper is to question what transformation is. After viewing and researching many number of examples of design and how designer dealt with issues of transformation, the result of this paper is as follows. Functional elements such as bases, handles, and openings are inverted in meaning or exaggerated in scale. Designers play upon what we normally expect from metal, glass, and other standard materials; making hard materials seem soft, making soft materials seem hard, transferring techniques appropriate for one material to another. Designer employed an endless variety of plays on functional elements and questioned the nature of materials I concluded that 'transformation in design is the main method of the creative working process for the designer.

A multilevel PWM voltage source inverter, especially five-level one, is introduced to obtain a static var compensator(SVC) as a large scale power, source. In this paper, the three phase SVC is modeled using circuit DQ transformation and completely analyzed. Finally, through the experimental results from 5-kVA SVC, the validity of the analyses and the feasibility of the SVC system are shown for high power applications.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the present status of dwelling spaces and deduct sustainable elements in transformation of them by comparing the restored drawings with the surveyed drawings focused on traditional houses that exist in the urban area of cheongju city in Korea. In alteration and extension of these traditional houses, scale of a private room became larger as it has been connected and expanded, the exterior main hall (Daecheong) became the interior living room, and the conventional kitchen was westernized and changed from K type to DK or LDK type. The toilet located at outside was installed by the attached aisle (Toetgan) inside and the existing room. The extension was completed with equipments, storage space, and rental accommodation. The conservative and sustainable elements in the various transformation of them are as follows. Firstly, it was to maintain 3 rooms such as main room (anbang)-main hall (daecheong)-detached room (gunnunbang). Secondly, it was to sustain the circulation of kitchen and arrangement of the - type worktable even though it was westernized. Thirdly, extension of storage space was completed less than 600 mm within the eaves. Although there were functionally and structurally many changes in 18 houses, 4 houses had maintained wooden floor of main hall, 5 houses long planked wooden floor of the attached aisle, and 12 houses rafter ceiling of the main hall and the attached aisle.

This study was designed to examine, using Rasch analysis, the rating scale performance of the Korean version of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The subjects were 95 elderly people at community dwelling. Subjects (19 men, 76 women) ranged in age from 65 to 91 years. Rasch analysis was then done by means of the Winsteps program to determine the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the BBS evaluation tools for elderly people. The results were as follows: Twenty-one elderly people were excluded for misfit persons. Three items were found to be misfits and the order of item difficulty of the remaining 11 items was arranged. Elderly people BBS ability is indicated by -.94~7.41 logit, and the transformation formula is score=(logit score+.94)/$(.94+7.41){\times}100$. This transformation formula can be applied to Korean elderly people for balance ability. In the order of difficulty of evaluation items, the most difficult item was "Standing on one foot" and the easiest item was "Standing to Sitting". In conclusion, the Korean version of BBS evaluation tool for the elderly people has been proved valid and will be useful in clinical practice and research in Korea.

An oxidation-reduction scheme is an alternative approach for improving the galvanizability of advanced high-strength steel in the continuous hot-dip galvanizing process. Here, we investigated the effect of oxygen partial pressure ($P_{O_2}$) on the oxidation behavior of a transformation-induced plasticity steel containing 1.5 wt% Si and 1.6 wt% Mn during heating to and holding for 60 s at $700^{\circ}C$ under atmospheres with various $P_{O_2}$ values. Irrespective of $P_{O_2}$, a thin amorphous Si-rich layer of Si-Mn-O was formed underneath the Fe oxide scale (a $Fe_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ bilayer) in the heating stage. In contrast to Si, Mn tended to segregate at the scale surface as $(Fe,Mn)_2O_3$. The multilayered structure of $(Fe,Mn)_2O_3/Fe_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$/amorphous Si-Mn-O remained even after extended oxidizing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. $Fe_2O_3$ was the dominantly growing oxide phase in the scale. The enhanced growth rate of $Fe_2O_3$ with increasing $P_{O_2}$ resulted in the formation of more Kirkendall voids in the amorphous Si-rich layer and a less Mn segregation at the scale surface. The mechanisms underlying the absence of FeO and the formation of Kirkendall voids are discussed.
