The characteristics of refrigerator noise recorded in anechoic chamber was investigated in condition of a the real living room and a kitchen. To predict the noise propagation in an apartment unit, room acoustic simulation software was used. It was found that the noise level in the real living room was $4\sim8dB$ higher than in the anechoic chamber. When a noise barrier and absorption materials were used on the rear wall and floor, the noise level reduced up to $3\sim4dB$. In addition, when the subjective evaluation of auralized refrigerator noise was undertaken using headphone, it was revealed that 21dB (A) is the allowable sound pressure level of 95% satisfaction.

The quality of the automatic transmission shift for a wheel loader has been generally evaluated by driver's perception. However the subjective evaluation of the drivers is not always directly related to the shift quality. It is necessary to set up the method for an objective assessment of the shift quality. In this paper, a quantitative assessment method has been developed for the shift quality of the automatic transmission in a wheel loader. The indices for the evaluation were selected through the various tests like the acceleration and the turbine rpm as well as the subjective evaluation of the driver, and were validated by the correlation between subjective and objective assessments using a psychophysical power law. Based on this method, the shift quality of a wheel loader has been evaluated quantitatively under various shift conditions.

The memory compression algorithm CCC-LCP (color-count-controlled local color palette) reduces flicker in the liquid crystal display (LCD) overdrive. Its compression ratio is 1:5.4 for 10-bit images, with a 33 dB PSNR peak signal-to-noise ratio and with five times flicker reduction compared with the block truncation coding. The authors' two-alternative forced choice subjective tests proposed two new soundness properties, the 'CMP harmlessness' and 'OD non-lost (or OD liveliness)', to clarify the functional interaction between the overdrive functionality OD and the compression functionality CMP. The tests verified that CCC-LCP is practically applicable (at a 1.2H viewing distance threshold) for 42" 37-ppi WXGA TVs.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maximum and optimal listening speed of Korean TTS for the blind. Five blind participants took part in this study. The instruments used in this study were 17 sentence sets (2 sets for an excercise, 10 sets for a repeated test, and 5 sets for a random test), with short meaningful sentences (the same sentences for the repeated test, different sentences for the random test) with 15 differentiated speeds (Range=0.8-3.6, SD=0.2). Each participant's maximum and quickest listening speeds were calculated by objective recall accuracy (determined by the number of correctly recalled syllables/the total number of syllables in a sentence X 100) and subjective recall accuracy (recall accuracy judged by each participant's subjective evaluation). The results showed that the participants' recall accuracy had a tendency to increase as the TTS speed decreased. Participants' subjective recall accuracy was higher than objective recall accuracy in the repeated tests and vice versa in the random tests. The results also revealed that the participants' sentence familiarity had an influence on their Korean TTS listening speed.

There are many place of business in complex building, and recently claims of noise have increased in those buildings. It is most desirable reducing the noise problems to establish the noise criteria considering the noise source and the receiving place of business, which are derived from the dose-response of noise and results of the actual condition. The degree of response to the transmission noise could be changed with background noise level in the receiving stores. In this research, the subjective evaluation for three different background level in receiving place of business or rooms were investigated from subjective tests. The eight business sound source including aerobic music were used for the test.

사람이 소리를 듣는 것은 다분히 감정적이고 주관적으로 이루어진다. 따라서 소음 측정의 척도로 주로 사용되는 dB(A)와 같은 청감을 고려한 수치로 표현하기 어렵기 때문에 때와 장소, 차량에 따라 주관적이고 사람의 감정에 맞는 주관적 척도가 요구된다. 즉, 평가하고자 하는 음질인자 항목들은 독립적 관계가 아닌 서로 상관관계의 특성을 고려하여 음질 평가를 수행해야 한다. 그러므로 인간의 청감에 가깝고 정확한 음질 평가를 위해서는 음질인자 별 다변량 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 차량 주행 소음을 대상으로 특성인자간 상관관계를 고려해 시스템을 분석할 수 있는 마할라노비스 거리(Mahalanobis distance,MD)를 통해 음질 인덱스를 구축하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 바닥충격음의 감성적 상하한치를 기준으로 바닥충격음의 감성적 평가등급을 설정하기 위하여 바닥충격음 레벨에 따른 피험자의 주관적 반응을 현장 청감실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 표준 바닥충격원인 중량, 경량 충격음과 현재 일본에서 신 중량충격원으로 제안되고 있는 고무공충격음, 그리고 실제 충격음 (Jumping)을 대상으로 청감실험을 실시하였으며 청감실험에 사용된 주관적 반응의 평가척도로는 일본 건축학회에서 활용되고 있는 3개의 평가척도와 소음평가어휘를 활용한 평가척도를 사용하였다. 청감실험 결과, 바닥충격음 레벨에 따른 주관적 반응의 관계는 1차 회귀식으로 나타났으며, 감성적 하한치가 중량충격음의 경우 역A특성 가중 바닥충격음 레벨 (L/sub i, Fmax, AW/)이 46㏈, 경량충격음의 경우 역A특성 가중 규준화 바닥충격음 레벨 (L'/sub n, AW/)이 56㏈로 나타났다. 최종적으로 청감실험 결과에서 도출된 감성적 하한치의 기준으로 총 3등급의 평가등급이 설정되었다.

Various buildings constructed by environmentally friendly resources are being built in KOREA. Especially the building made by the wood, which has environmental characteristics that the reinforced concrete and brick doesn't have, are acknowledged with its superiority. Then, studies on indoor thermal control capability of the wooden building and influence of its indoor environment to sensory environment of occupants are not enough proceed. Thus, there were proceeded 24 hours measurements for indoor and outdoor thermal environmental elements of Log Cabins and the hourly subjective tests to evaluate indoor amenity of occupants in this study. The results of the study are following: 1) Upon evaluation on thermal environment elements, indoor and outdoor dry bulb temp were 22.0$^{\circ}C$ and -2.9$^{\circ}C$, and Indoor and outdoor average relative humidity were 25.8%and 52.7%. Differences of indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity were 24.9$^{\circ}C$ and 26.9%. 2) Upon contrastive analysis between the results of subjective tests, warm and cold sensation vote, and PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percent Dissatisfaction), values of subjective tests W.9

Purpose: As the evaluation of the preoperative sensibility in the orbitozygomatic complex fracture, used by most surgeons, depends on the patient's subjective judgements, it is difficult to make generalization and to use it as an objective evaluation method. We used the blink reflex study to objectively evaluate injury to the infraorbital nerve. Methods: From December 2008 to November 2009, a total of 16 patients underwent the patient's subjective report on sensory symptoms and the blink reflex study preoperatively. Among patients having orbitozygomatic complex fracture of type III or more according to Henderson's classification and simultaneously suspected as being injured along the infraorbital nerve pathway, patients who had difficulty in checking preoperative sensibility and said 'normal sensibility' were selected as candidates. Results: Fifteen patients showed abnormal R1 on the fracture side. These results suggested that most of patients had injury to the infraorbital nerve. Conclusion: Contrary to the existing tests, the blink reflex study is a useful diagnostic tool in reflecting injury to the infraorbital nerve objectively.

Directional stability is important performance in vehicle and tire design. The current methods to analyze this is generally based on linear concept. Using the existing concept, it cannot realistically explain the subjective assessment at all because it is hard to practically represent the nonlinear behaviour of a complex vehicle system in reality. In this paper, new method to analyze directional stability is introduced. At first, directional stability of vehicle is categorized into yaw, rear axle, and roll stability. In order to objectify these items, driver perceptual parameters based on subjective assessment are used. Using the perceptual parameters, it can successfully explain the transient maneuver of vehicle and extract objective parameters for directional stability. Finally, these objective parameters are successfully validated through two handling tests, lane change and severe lane change. The correlation results show that there exists a good correlation between subjective assessment and the proposed objective parameters.
