A psychoacoustic model based noise shaping method which shapes the noise in the frequency domain is proposed, where its presence with a host signal will not be perceptually noticeable. The derivation of imperceptible noise levels from the masking thresholds of the signal involves a deconvolution associated with the spreading function in the psychoacoustic model, which results in an ill-conditioned problem. In this paper, the problem is formulated as a constrained optimization, and it is demonstrated that the solution provides noise shaping where the noise excitation level conforms to the masking thresholds of the signal, and thus the noises embedded in the signal will not be perceived by human ear.

Given a noisy sampled at equispaced points with white noise, we consider problems where the signal to be recovered is known to be positive; for example, images, chemical spectra or other measurements of intensities. Shrinking noisy wavelet coefficients via thresholding offers very attractive alternatives to existing methods of recovering signals from noisy data. In this paper, we propose a method of recovering the original signal from a corrupted noisy signal, guaranteeing the recovered signal positive. We first obtain wavelet coefficients by thresholding, and use a nonlinear optimization to find the denoised signal which must be positive. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

최근에 친환경 신교통수단으로서 주목받고 있는 트램은 철도교통 중 도시부 도로교통을 대체할 수 있는 대중교통 수단으로 인식되어 북미지역과 유럽 등의 주요 선진국에서 주요 교통수단으로 운영되고 있고, 우리나라에서도 도심의 혼잡증가와 대중교통 수송분담율 감소, 교통분야의 환경에 대한 관심으로 트램의 도입이 추진되고 있다. 본 연구는 간선도로의 트램 전용차로 구간에서 트램과 일반차량의 효과적인 운영을 위해 트램의 우선 통행권을 확보하면서 일반차량의 지체를 최소화하는 신호 최적화 모형을 개발하였다. 간선도로의 신호 연동화 모형인 KS-SIGNAL 모형을 기초로 트램의 통행특성과 트램 전용차로 시스템의 특성을 반영한 KS-SIGNAL Tram 모형을 개발하였고, 이 신호 최적화 모형을 통해 트램차량의 최소 연동폭을 확보하여 고정식 기반의 트램 우선신호를 구현하였으며, 이와 동시에 일반 이동류의 신호교차로 대기시간을 최소화하는 신호시간을 산출하였다. 미시적 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 통해 KS-SIGNAL Tram 모형의 신호제어 효과를 분석한 결과, 새로운 모형으로 산출한 교차로 신호시간을 적용했을 때 트램차량의 신호교차로 정지수와 통행시간이 감소했음을 확인하였고, 일반차량도 트램 우선신호에 따른 지체증가가 거의 나타나지 않음을 확인하였다.

Freeway corridors consist of urban freeways and parallel arterials that drivers can use alternatively. Ramp metering in freeways and signal control in arterials are contemporary traffic control methods that have been developed and applied in order to improve traffic conditions of freeway corridors. However, most of the existing studies have focused on either optimal ramp metering in freeways, or progression signal strategies between arterial intersections. There have been no traffic control systems in Korea that integrates the freeway ramp metering and arterial signal control. The effective control strategies for freeway operations may cause negative effects on arterial traffic. On the other hand, traffic congestion and bottleneck phenomenon of arterials due to the increasing peak-hour travel demand and ineffective signal operation may generate an accessibility problem to freeway ramps. Thus, the main function of the freeway which is the through-traffic process has not been successful. The purpose of this study is to develop an integrated control model that connects freeway ramp metering systems and signal control systems in arterial intersections. And Optimization of integrated control model which consists of ramp metering and signal control is another purpose. The design of experiment, neural network, and simulated annealing are used for optimization.

In this paper, we study the sparse signal recovery that uses information of both support and amplitude of the sparse signal. A convergent iterative algorithm for sparse signal recovery is developed using Majorization-Minimization-based Non-convex Optimization (MM-NcO). Furthermore, it is shown that, typically, the sparse signals that are recovered using the proposed iterative algorithm are not globally optimal and the performance of the iterative algorithm depends on the initial point. Therefore, a modified MM-NcO-based iterative algorithm is developed that uses prior information of both support and amplitude of the sparse signal to enhance recovery performance. Finally, the modified MM-NcO-based iterative algorithm is used to estimate the time-varying sparse wireless channels with temporal correlation. The numerical results show that the new algorithm performs better than related algorithms.

An optimal wideband gain flattened hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifier/fiber Raman amplifier (EDFA/FRA) has been introduced. A new and effective optimization method called particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to find the optimized parameters of the EDFA/FRA. Numerous parameters which are the parameters of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) define the gain spectrum of a hybrid EDFA/FRA. Here, we optimize the length, $Er^{3+}$ concentration, and pump power and wavelength of the EDFA and also pump powers and wavelengths of the FRA to obtain the flattest operating gain spectrum. Hybrid EDFA/FRA with 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs have been studied. Gain spectrum variations are 1.392 and 1.043 dB for the 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs, respectively, in the 108.5 km hybrid EDFA/FRAs, with 1 mW of input signal powers. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system with 60 signal channels in the wavelength range of 1529.2-1627.1 nm, i.e. the wide bandwidth of 98 nm, is studied. In this work, we have added FRA's pump wavelengths to the optimization parameters to obtain better results in comparison with the results presented in our previous works.

This paper has focused on the Optimization of the cutting parameters for urning operation based on the Taguchi method. Four cutting parameters. nemely, cutting speed, feed depth of cut and nose radius are optimized with consideration of the surface roughness. The design and analysis of experiments are conducted to study the performance characteristic. The effects of these parameters on the surface roughness have been investigated using signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio and analy-sis of variance(ANOVA). The experiments have been performed using coated tungsten carbide inserts without any cutting fluid. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.

An efficient methodology using static test data and changes in natural frequencies is proposed to identify the damages in structural systems. The methodology consists of two main stages. In the first stage, the Damage Signal Match (DSM) technique is employed to quickly identify the most potentially damaged elements so as to reduce the number of the solution space (solution parameters). In the second stage, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach is presented to accurately determine the actual damage extents using the first stage results. One numerical case study by using a planar truss and one experimental case study by using a full-scale steel truss structure are used to verify the proposed hybrid method. The identification results show that the proposed methodology can identify the location and severity of damage with a reasonable level of accuracy, even when practical considerations limit the number of measurements to only a few for a complex structure.

To accurately extract absolute distance information from a self-mixing interferometry (SMI) signal, in this paper we propose an approach based on a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm instead of frequency estimation for absolute distance. The algorithm is utilized to search for the global minimum of the fitness function that is established from the self-mixing signal to find out the actual distance. A resolution superior to $25{\mu}m$ in the range from 3 to 20 cm is obtained by experimental measurement, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in comparison with interpolated FFT. The influence of different external feedback strength parameters and different inertia weights in the algorithm is discussed as well.

다구찌가 제안한 파라미터 설계는 제품설계나 공정설계 단계에서 품질특성치의 수행변동(performance variation)을 줄이는데 있다. 파라미터 설계에서 품질평균 근처에서 품질의 변동을 줄일 수 있는 최적조건을 찾는데 있어서 신호대 잡음비(Signal-to-noise ratio; SN비)라는 수행측도(performance measure)를 사용하였다. 그러나 많은 통계학자들은 SN비를 이용한 다구찌 분석 기법을 비판한다. 본 논문에서는 파라미터 설계를 위한 최적조건을 찾는데 있어서 SN비를 사용하지 않는 보다 실질적인 최적방안을 제안한다.
