방사선 치료에서 부정확한 환자 셋업이 표적에 전달되는 선량에 미치는 영향과 치료 마진과의 연관성을 몬테칼로 기법을 사용한 전산모사를 통하여 분석하였다. 실제 방사선 치료를 받은 직장암 환자에 대한 임상표적체적(CTV: Clinical Target Volume) 및 주요장기의 구조와 치료계획 시스템(Eclipse 8.9, USA)을 이용하여 수립된 세기조절 방사선치료계획에서의 선량분포에 대한 데이터를 전산모사에서 사용하였다. 전산모사 프로그램은 리눅스환경에서 오픈소스인 ROOT 라이브러리와 GCC를 기반으로 본 연구를 위하여 개발되었다. 환자셋업오차의 확률분포를 정규분포로 가정한 것에 따라 무작위로 생성된 크기만큼 셋업이 부정확한 경우를 모사하여 임상표적체적에서의 선량분포의 변화와 오차크기에 따른 마진크기를 3차원입체조형 방사선치료에 사용되는 마진공식과 비교분석 하였다. 셋업오차 생성에 사용된 정규분포의 표준편차 크기는 1 mm부터 10 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 두었으며 계통오차와 통계오차별로 2,000번 전산모사했다. 계통오차의 경우 전산모사에 사용된 표준편차가 커질수록 임상표적체적에 조사되는 최소선량 $D_{min}^{stat{\cdot}}$은 100.4%에서 72.50%로 감소하였고 평균선량 $\bar{D}_{syst{\cdot}}$도 100.45%에서 97.88%로 감소한 반면에 표준편차${\Delta}D_{sys}$는 0.02%에서 3.33%로 증가하였다. 통계오차의 경우 최소선량 $D_{min}^{rand{\cdot}}$은 100.45%에서 94.80%감소하였고 평균선량 $\bar{D}_{syst{\cdot}}$도 100.46%에서 97.87%로 감소하였으며 표준편차 ${\Delta}D_{rand}$는 0.01%에서 0.63%로 증가하였다. 그리고 마진공식으로부터 전산모사에 사용된 셋업오차에 해당되는 마진크기를 구하고 모집단비율(population ratio)을 정의하여 기존 마진공식의 목적이 세기조절방사선치료에 만족함을 확인했다. 개발된 전산모사 프로그램은 해당 환자의 치료계획 정보를 직접 사용하므로 직장암만 아니라 두경부암, 전립선암 등 여러 환부에 적용 가능하며 셋업오차 및 선량변화에 연관된 연구에도 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Classification of subjects with unknown distribution in small sample size setup may involve order-restricted constraints in multivariate parameter setups. Those problems makes optimality of conventional likelihood ratio based statistical inferences not feasible. Fortunately, Roy (1953) introduced union-intersection principle(UIP) which provides an alternative avenue. Redescending M-estimator along with that principle yields a considerably appropriate robust testing procedure. Furthermore, conditionally distribution-free test based upon exact permutation theory is used to generate p-values, even in small sample. Applications of this method are illustrated in simulated data and read data example (Lobenhofer et al., 2002)

This paper presents design of active roll controller of a vehicle and experimental study using the electric actuating roll control system. Firstly, parameter sensitivity analysis is performed based on 3DOF linear vehicle model. The controller is designed in the frame work of gain-scheduled H$\infty$ control scheme considering the varying parameters induced by laden and running vehicle condition. In order to investigate a feasibility of an active control system, experimental work is performed using hardware-in-the -loop setup which has been constructed by the devised electric actuating system and the full vehicle model with tire characteristics. The performance is evaluated by experiment using hardware-in-the -loop simulation under the conditions of some steer maneuvers and parameter variations.

Ultrasonic guided wave techniques have been widely used for long range nondestructive detection in tube-like structures. The present paper investigates the ultrasonic linear and nonlinear parameters for evaluating the thermal damage in aluminum pipe. Specimens were subjected to thermal loading. Flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) comb transducers were used to generate and receive the ultrasonic waves. The second harmonic wave generation technique was used to check the material nonlinearity change after different heat loadings. The conventional linear ultrasonic approach based on attenuation was also used to evaluate the thermal damages in specimens. The results show that the proposed experimental setup is viable to assess the thermal damage in an aluminum pipe. The ultrasonic nonlinear parameter is a promising candidate for the prediction of micro-damages in a tube-like structure.

In this paper we presented a Bayesian inference approach for estimating the location and scale parameters of the lognormal distribution using iterative Gibbs sampling algorithm. We also presented estimation of location parameter by two non iterative methods, importance sampling and weighted bootstrap assuming scale parameter as known. The estimates by non iterative techniques do not depend on the specification of hyper parameters which is optimal from the Bayesian point of view. The estimates obtained by more sophisticated Gibbs sampler vary slightly with the choices of hyper parameters. The objective of this paper is to illustrate these tools in a simpler setup which may be essential in more complicated situations.

Instead of using signal-to-noise ratio, we attempt to optimize both the mean and variance responses using dual response optimization technique. The alternative experimental strategy analyzes a robust parameter design problem to obtain the best settings that give a target condition on the mean while minimizing its variance. The mean and variance are treated as the two responses of interest to be optimized. Unlike to the crossed array and combined array approaches, our experimental setup requires replicated runs for each control factor's treatment under noise sampling. When the postulated response models are true, they enable the coefficients to be estimated and the desired performance measure to be analyzed more efficiently. The procedure and illustrative example are given for the dual response optimization techniques of nonlinear goal programming.

Challenges in cognitive radio and tactical communications include recognizing anonymously received signals and estimating parameters in a blind or semi-blind manner. In this paper, we examine this issue for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. There are several parameters in OFDM signaling, and the blind receiver must extract and consider the synchronization issue. We assume that the blind receiver is aware of modulation type, OFDM, and not aware of chip duration and the length of cyclic prefix. First, we present new criteria based on kurtosis to estimate these parameters and compare their performance at different levels of additive white Gaussian noise with methods based on correlation, kurtosis, maximum likelihood, and matched filter. Then, we perform synchronization and estimate the start time based on these criteria and several new criteria in two steps: fine and coarse synchronization. Finally, in a more practical setup, we present the idea of jointly estimating the mentioned parameters and the signal start time as coarse synchronization. We compare different criteria and show that one of the proposed criteria has the highest efficiency.

Vision-based vehicle detector systems are becoming increasingly important in ITS applications. Real-time operation, robustness, precision, accurate estimation of traffic parameters, and ease of setup are important features to be considered in developing such systems. Further, accurate vehicle detection is difficult in varied complex traffic environments. These environments include changes in weather as well as challenging traffic conditions, such as shadow effects and jams. To meet real-time requirements, the proposed system first applies a color background to extract moving objects, which are then tracked by considering their relative distances and directions. To achieve robustness and precision, the color background is regularly updated by the proposed algorithm to overcome luminance variations. This paper also proposes a scheme of feedback compensation to resolve background convergence errors, which occur when vehicles temporarily park on the roadside while the background image is being converged. Next, vehicle occlusion is resolved using the proposed prior split approach and through reasoning for rule-based tracking. This approach can automatically detect straight lanes. Following this step, trajectories are applied to derive traffic parameters; finally, to facilitate easy setup, we propose a means to automate the setting of the system parameters. Experimental results show that the system can operate well under various complex traffic conditions in real time.

현재 사용되는 대부분의 시스템은 비선형이고 이러한 시스템을 모니터링 하거나 제어하기 위해서는 정확한 시스템 방정식이 필요하다. 따라서 정확한 파라미터를 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 시스템이 노후하거나 갑작스러운 환경 변화로 파라미터가 변하는 경우가 발생한다. 이 때 변화된 파라미터를 이용한 시스템 모니터링 또는 제어는 계획된 목적을 달성할 수 없으며 불안정성 등의 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 측정이 어려운 파라미터나 노후 또는 환경변화로 발생한 변화된 파라미터를 소프트웨어 방식인 필터를 이용하여 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비선형성과 노이즈가 존재하는 환경에 특성이 강한 파티를 알고리즘을 사용하였으며 동역학 시스템에 적용하였다. 파라미터 추정 대상인 동역학 시스템은 2자유도를 가진 수레와 진자로 구성되었고 시뮬레이션을 통해 노이즈가 추가된 상태 변수 데이터를 구했다. 제안된 알고리즘을 수집한 데이터에 적용하여 상태변수와 파라미터를 추정하였으며, 제안된 방법을 사용할 경우 상태와 파라미터를 정확이 추정함을 확인하였다.
