Small cell deployment offers a low-cost solution for the boosted traffic demand in heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). Besides improved spatial spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency, future HCNs are also featured with the trend of network architecture convergence and feasibility for flexible mobile applications. To achieve these goals, dual connectivity (DC) is playing a more and more important role to support control/user-plane splitting, which enables maintaining fixed control channel connections for reliability. In this paper, we develop a tractable framework for the downlink SINR analysis of DC assisted HCN. Based on stochastic geometry model, the data-control joint coverage probabilities under multi-frequency and single-frequency tiering are derived, which involve quick integrals and admit simple closed-forms in special cases. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the accuracy of the expressions. It is observed that the increase in mobility robustness of DC is at the price of control channel SINR degradation. This degradation severely worsens the joint coverage performance under single-frequency tiering, proving multi-frequency tiering a more feasible networking scheme to utilize the advantage of DC effectively. Moreover, the joint coverage probability can be maximized by adjusting the density ratio of small cell and macro cell eNBs under multi-frequency tiering, though changing cell association bias has little impact on the level of the maximal coverage performance.

This study presents a new hybrid fNIRS-EEG system to meet the demand for a lightweight and low-cost sleep pattern monitoring device. For multiple-channel configuration, a six-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system with eight photodiodes (PD) and four dual-wavelength LEDs are designed. To enhance the convenience of signal measurement, the device is miniaturized into a patch-like form, enabling simultaneous measurement on the forehead. Due to its fully integrated functionality, the developed system is advantageous for performing sleep stage classification with high-temporal and spatial resolution data. This can be realized by utilizing a two-dimensional (2D) brain activation map based on the concentration changes in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin during sleep stage transitions. For the system verification, the phantom model with known optical properties was tested at first, and then the sleep experiment for a human subject was conducted. The experimental results show that the developed system qualifies as a portable hybrid fNIRS-EEG sleep pattern monitoring device.

The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution (BRD) effect is critical to interpret the surface information using remotely sensed data. This effect was caused by geometric relationship between sensor, target and solar that is inevitable effect for data of optical sensor. To remove the BRD effect, semi-empirical BRDF models are widely used. It is faster to calculate than physical models and demanded less observation than empirical models. In this study, Ross-Li kernel and Roujean kernel were used respectively in National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) that are used to compare each other. The semi-empirical model consists of three parts which are isotropic, geometric and volumetric scattering. Each part contained physical kernel and empirical coefficients that were calculated by statistical method. Red and NIR channel of SPOT/VEGETATION product were used to compute Nadir BRDF Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) over East Asia area from January 2009 to December 2009. S1 product was provided by VITO that was conducted atmospheric correction using Simplified Method of Atmospheric Correction (SMAC). NBAR was calculated using corrected reflectance of red and NIR. Previous study has revealed that Roujean geometric kernel had unphysical values in large zenith angles. We extracted empirical coefficients in three parts and normalized reflectance to compare both BRDF models. Two points located forest in Korea peninsular and bare land in Gobi desert were selected for comparison. As results of time series analysis, both models showed similar reflectance change pattern and reasonable values. Whereas in case of empirical coefficients comparison, different changes pattern of values were showed in isotropic coefficients.

This paper presents an experimental study of three two-dimensional (2D/planar) steel reinforced concrete (SRC) T-shaped column-RC beam hybrid joints and six 3D SRC T-shaped column-steel beam hybrid joints under low cyclic reversed loads. Considering different categories of steel configuration types in column cross section and horizontal loading angles for the specimens were selected, and a reliable structural testing system for the spatial loading was employed in the tests. The load-displacement curves, carrying capacity, energy dissipation capacity, ductility and deformation characteristics of the test subassemblies were analyzed. Especially, the seismic performance discrepancies between planar hybrid joints and 3D hybrid joints were intensively compared. The failure modes for planar loading and spatial loading observed in the tests showed that the shear-diagonal compressive failure was the dominating failure mode for all the specimens. In addition, the 3D hybrid joints illustrated plumper hysteretic loops for the columns configured with solid-web steel, but a little more pinched hysteretic loops for the columns configured with T-shaped steel or channel-shaped steel, better energy dissipation capacity & ductility, and larger interlayer deformation capacity than those of the planar hybrid joints. Furthermore, it was revealed that the hysteretic loops for the specimens under $45^{\circ}$ loading angle are generally plumper than those for the specimens under $30^{\circ}$ loading angle. Finally, the effects of steel configuration type and loading angle on the seismic damage for the specimens were analyzed by means of the Park-Ang model.

본 논문은 블라인드 소스 분리 분야에서 널리 사용되는 멀티채널 비음수 행렬 분해 기법의 단점을 개선하여 미결정 복잡한 혼합 환경에서 문제를 해결한다. 공간 공분산 행렬에 기반을 둔 기존의 연구들에서, 단일 채널의 파워게인 및 상관관계와 같은 값으로 구성된 행렬의 각 요소는 높은 분산으로 인해 분리된 소스의 품질을 저하시키는 경향이 있다. 이 논문에서는 추정된 소스들을 효과적으로 클러스터링하기 위해 레벨 및 주파수 정규화를 수행한다. 따라서 새로운 공간 공분산 행렬 및 효과적인 클러스터 쌍별 거리함수를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 행렬을 공간 모델의 초기화에 활용하여 공간 모델의 향상된 추정과 이를 바탕으로 상향식 접근법에서의 계층적 응집 클러스터링에 활용함으로써 분리된 음원의 품질을 향상시켰다. 제안된 알고리즘은 'Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign 2008 development dataset'을 활용하여 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 객관적인 소스 분리 품질 검증 도구인 'Blind Source Separation Eval toolbox'를 활용하여 대부분의 성능향상지표에서의 향상을 확인하였으며, 특히 대표적인 수치인 SDR의 1 dB ~ 3.5 dB 정도의 성능우위를 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 잡음환경에서의 이중채널 음성인식을 위한 통계모델 기반 음성구간 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 다채널 입력 신호로부터 얻어진 공간정보를 이용하여 음성 존재 및 부재 확률모델을 구하고 이를 통해 음성구간 검출을 행한다. 이때, 공간정보는 두 채널간의 상호 시간 차이와 상호 크기 차이로, 음성 존재 및 부재 확률은 가우시안 커널 밀도 기반의 확률모델로 표현된다. 그리고 음성구간은 각 시간 프레임 별 음성 존재 확률 대비 음성 부재 확률의 비를 추정하여 검출된다. 제안된 음성구간 검출 방법의 평가를 위해 검출된 구간만을 입력으로 하는 음성인식 성능을 측정한다. 실험결과, 제안된 공간정보를 이용하는 통계모델 기반의 음성구간 검출 방법이 주파수 에너지를 이용하는 통계모델 기반의 음성구간 검출 방법과 주파수 스펙트럼 밀도 기반 음성구간 검출 방법에 비해 각각 15.6%, 15.4%의 상대적 오인식률 개선을 보였다.

금강하구의 비선형(비대칭) 조석을 관측결과로부터 조사하였는데 하구에서의 강한 해저마찰에 의한 에너지소산에도 불구하고 M4 분조는 확폭되어 강한 조석비대칭현상을 야기시킨다. 관측된 조석비대칭은 긴 지속시간의 낙조보다 상대적으로 짧은 지속시간의 강한 장조류속이 토사의 이동을 증대시키는 데 이 현상이 하구의 매몰을 유발시켜 M2 내역에 분포된 사주의 형성요인인 것으로 추정된다. M2 분조와 M4 분조에 관련된 첨두해안응력의 분포를 2차원조류 수치모델에 의해 산정했는데 결과는 현존의 조류퇴적체계중 소류사의 분포는 하구둑 건설로 인해 외항접근수로와 하구둑 사류부에 변화를 가져올 것으로 초기추정된다.

We performed experiments to measure a single-phase upward flow in a 5 × 5 rod bundle with spacer grids using a particle image velocimetry, focusing on the crossflow. The Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter and the bulk velocity is 10,000. The ratio of pitch between rods and rod diameter is 1.4 and spacer grid is installed periodically. The turbulence in the rod bundle results from the combination of a forced mixing and natural mixing. The forced mixing by the spacer grid persists up to 10D_h from the spacer grid, while the natural mixing is attributed to the crossflow between adjacent subchannels. The combined effects contribute to a sinusoidal distribution of the time-averaged stream-wise velocity along the lateral direction, which is relatively weak right behind the spacer grid as well as in the gap. The streamwise and lateral turbulence intensities are stronger right behind the spacer grid and in the gap. Based on these findings, we newly defined a modified mixing coefficient as the ratio of the lateral turbulence intensity to the time-averaged streamwise velocity, which shows a spatial variation. Finally, we compared the developed model with the measured data, which shows a good agreement with each other.
