This study investigated the perceptual and cepstral/spectral characteristics of phonation and their relationships in dysarthria in connected speech. Twenty-two participants were divided into two groups; the eleven dysarthric speakers were paired with matching age and gender healthy control participants. A perceptual evaluation was performed by three speech pathologists using the GRBAS scale to measure the cepstrual/spectral characteristics of phonation between the two groups' connected speech. Correlations showed dysarthric speakers scored significantly worse (with a higher rating) with severities in G (overall dysphonia grade), B (breathiness), and S (strain), while the smoothed prominence of the cepstral peak (CPPs) was significantly lower. The CPPs were significantly correlated with the perceptual ratings, including G, B, and S. The utility of CPPs is supported by its high relationship with perceptually rated dysphonia severity in dysarthric speakers. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the threshold of 5.08 dB for the CPPs achieved a good classification for dysarthria, with 63.6% sensitivity and the perfect specificity (100%). Those results indicate the CPPs reliably distinguished between healthy controls and dysarthric speakers. However, the CPP frequency (CPP F0) and low-high spectral ratio (L/H ratio) were not significantly different between the two groups.

하이퍼스펙트럴 데이터의 효과적인 분석을 위해 밴드 추출(Feature Extraction)이나 밴드선택(Feature Selection)에 대한 연구가 최근 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 상대적으로 많은 밴드를 가지는 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상을 식생지수(Vegetation Index)와 같은 특수한 목적에 적용하기 위해 같은 파장대의 밴드를 조합(Band Aggregation)하여 Landsat ETM+ 영상 밴드와 동일한 영상 생성을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 NASA에서 제공하는 밴드별 분광특성 자료를 이용하여 밴드 조합을 위한 가중치 계산식에 적용하였으며, 밴드 선택을 위한 유효 파장대를 추출해 보았다 데이터 간 편차를 줄이기 위해 실제 1분 간격으로 촬영된 동일지역의 Hyperion과 ETM+ 영상을 사용하여 알고리즘에 적용하였고, 그 결과를 영상 간 상관계수와 NDVI 영상을 이용하여 비교 분석하였다.

In this paper, we improve statistical-model-based speech detector using the probability that a speech occupies a frequency bin. While the previous method assumes speech energy occupies all the frequency components and use them with equal weights in the likelihood ratio test for speech detection, the proposed method assumes speech energy occupies just some frequency componets and use them with different weights in accordance with the probabilities of spectral occupancy in the test. The probability is iteratively up-dated for speech frames to contribute to the likelihood ratio test. The proposed method well reflects the characteristic distribution of speech spectrum, and yields better detection performance.

The topographical effect resulted from rugged terrains and inhomogeneous spectral characteristics due to the complexly mixed land cover condition of Korea substantially lower the remotely sensed land cover classification accuracy In this study, a topographic correction method using digital elevation model to alleviate the topographic effects. To deal with inhomogeneous spectral characteristic, a hybrid classifier with inclusion of prior probabilities was introduced. This investigation concluded that the topographical normalization and hybrid classification with prior probabilities are effective on rugged landscape. The overall and average classification accuracies were improved by 0.92％ and 1.016％ respectively. The most substantial and noticeable accuracy improvement was observed in forest areas.

MSC (Multi Spectral Camera) system is a remote sensing payload to obtain high resolution ground image. In this application, uniformity characteristic is important as well as GSD (Ground Resolved Distance) and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). MSC image chain is consisted of OM (Optical Module), CCD, Video processor, NUC and DCSU (Data Compression and Storage Unit). Each block makes and corrects MSC's nonuniformity response. This paper shows the cause of nonuniformity error and the correction scheme of MSC system from the electronic point of view.

In this paper, the cavity-length-dependent spectral and temporal characteristics of a V-groove AlGaAs-GaAs quantum wire (QWR) laser at each subband were investigated. At short cavity lasers less than $300{\mu}m$, a discrete wavelength switching from the n=1 to the n=2 subband occurred due to the increased threshold gain, resulting from the increased cavity loss. Using the characteristic of the wavelength shift from n=1 to the n=2 subband with shortening the cavity length, ultrafast lasing behaviors under gain switching at the n=1 and the n=2 subband transition were demonstrated and compared.

In this paper, generation mechanisms of ocean freak waves are briefly introduced in the context of wave-current interaction phenomena. As an accurate and efficient numerical tool, the spectral element method is presented with general features and specific treatment for the wave-current interaction problem. The present model of the fluid motion is based on the Navier-Stokes equations incorporating a velocity-pressure formulation. In order to deal with the free surface motion, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description is adopted. As an intermediate stage of development, solution procedure and characteristic aspects of the present modeling and numerical method features are addressed in detail, and numerical results for wave-current interaction is left as further study.

GPC has been reported as a useful self-tuning control algorithm for systems with unknown time-delay and parameters. GPC is easy to understand and implement, and thus has won popularity among many practicing engineers. Despite its success, GPC does not guarantee is nominal stability. So, in this paper, GPC is rederived in frequency domain instead of in the time domain to guarantee its nominal stability. Derivation of GPC in frequency domain involves spectral factorization and Diophantine equation. Frequency domain GPC control law is stable because the zeros of characteristic polynomial are strictly Schur. Recursive least square algorithm is used to identify unknown parameters. To see the effectiveness of the proposed controller, the controller is simulated for a numerical problem that changes in dead-time, in order and in parameters.

Investigation is performed on the stability of general form of dynamic system whose damping and stiffness are varying in irregular manner along time, which is a preliminary result in the course of research on the characteristic and the control of the stochastic system. The governing equation of the 'parametric' system is derived via F-P-K approach in stochastic sense. The influence on the stability due to the magnitude of auto power spectral density and cross power spectral density of random variation of system parameters is studied and the region is surveyed.

To assure the reliability of cylinders or shells with fluid-filled annulus, it is necessary to investigate the modal characteristics considering fluid-structure interaction effect. In this study, theoretical background and several finite element models are developed for cylindrical shells with fluid-filled annulus considering fluid-structure interaction. The effect of the inclusion of the fluid-filled annulus on the natural frequencies is investigated, which frequencies are used for typical dynamic analyses such as responses spectrum, power spectral density and unit load excitation. Their response characteristics are addressed with respect to the various representations of the fluid-structure interaction effect.
