  • This paper suggests a hierarchial method to select the target sites for the nonpoint source pollution management considering factors which reflect the interrelationships of significant outflow characteristics of nonpoint source pollution at given sites. The factors consist of land slope, delivery distance to the outlet, effective rainfall, impervious area ratio and soil loss. The weight of each factor was calculated by an analytic hierarchy process(AHP) algorithm and the resulting influencing index was defined from the sum of the product of each factor and its computed weight value. The higher index reflect the proposed target sites for nonpoint source pollution management. The proposed method was applied to the Baran HP#6 watershed, located southwest from Suwon city. The Agricultural Nonpoint Pollution Source(AGNPS) model was also applied to identify sites contributing significantly to the nonpoint source pollution loads from the watershed. The spatial correlation between the two results for sites was analyzed using Moran's I values. The I values were $0.38{\sim}0.45$ for total nitrogen(T-N), and $0.15{\sim}0.22$ for total phosphorus(T-P), respectively. The results showed that two independent estimates for sites within the test water-shed were highly correlated, and that the proposed hierarchial method may be applied to select the target sites for nonpoint source pollution management.

  • This study aimed to establish the optimum level of palm kernel meal in the diet of Santa Ines lambs based on the sensorial characteristics and fatty acid profile of the meat. We used 32 lambs with a starting age of 4 to 6 months and mean weight of $22{\pm}2.75kg$, kept in individual stalls. The animals were fed with Tifton-85 hay and a concentrate mixed with 0.0, 6.5, 13.0 or 19.5% of palm kernel meal based on the dry mass of the complete diet. These levels formed the treatments. Confinement lasted 80 days and on the last day the animals were fasted and slaughtered. After slaughter, carcasses were weighed and sectioned longitudinally, along the median line, into two antimeres. Half-carcasses were then sliced between the 12th and 13th ribs to collect the loin (longissimus dorsi), which was used to determine the sensorial characteristics and fatty acid profile of the meat. For sensorial evaluation, samples of meat were given to 54 judges who evaluated the tenderness, juiciness, appearance, aroma and flavor of the meat using a hedonic scale. Fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. The addition of palm kernel meal to the diet had no effect on the sensorial characteristics of meat juiciness, appearance, aroma or flavor. However, tenderness showed a quadratic relationship with the addition of the meal to the diet. The concentration of fatty acids C12:0, C14:0 and C16:0 increased with the addition of palm kernel meal, as did the sum of medium-chain fatty acids and the atherogenicity index. Up to of 19.5% of the diet of Santa Ines lambs can be made up of palm kernel meal without causing significant changes in sensorial characteristics. However, the fatty acid profile of the meat was altered.

  • In this paper, assuming that the score of speech utterance is the product of HMM log likelihood and HMM weight, we propose a new method that HMM weights are adapted iteratively like the general MCE training. The proposed method adjusts HMM weights for better performance using delta coefficient defined in terms of misclassification measure. Therefore, the parameter estimation and the Viterbi algorithms of conventional 1:.um can be easily applied to the proposed model by constraining the sum of HMM weights to the number of HMMs in an HMM set. Comparing with the general segmental MCE training approach, computing time decreases by reducing the number of parameters to estimate and avoiding gradient calculation through the optimal state sequence. To evaluate the performance of HMM-based speech recognizer by weighting HMM likelihood, we perform Korean isolated digit recognition experiments. The experimental results show better performance than the MCE algorithm with state weighting.

  • "Wind and Ports" is a European project that has been carried out since 2009 to handle wind forecast in port areas through an integrated system made up of an extensive in-situ wind monitoring network, the numerical simulation of wind fields, the statistical analysis of wind climate, and algorithms for medium-term (1-3 days) and short term (0.5-2 hours) wind forecasting. The in-situ wind monitoring network, currently made up of 22 ultrasonic anemometers, provides a unique opportunity for detecting high resolution thunderstorm records and studying their dominant characteristics relevant to wind engineering with special concern for wind actions on structures. In such a framework, the wind velocity of thunderstorms is firstly decomposed into the sum of a slowly-varying mean part plus a residual fluctuation dealt with as a non-stationary random process. The fluctuation, in turn, is expressed as the product of its slowly-varying standard deviation by a reduced turbulence component dealt with as a rapidly-varying stationary Gaussian random process with zero mean and unit standard deviation. The extraction of the mean part of the wind velocity is carried out through a moving average filter, and the effect of the moving average period on the statistical properties of the decomposed signals is evaluated. Among other aspects, special attention is given to the thunderstorm duration, the turbulence intensity, the power spectral density and the integral length scale. Some noteworthy wind velocity ratios that play a crucial role in the thunderstorm loading and response of structures are also analyzed.

  • The noise itself that affects the sensor array is defined as the noise which happens in the place where the system is installed and the circumference noise which comes from the ocean. The array structure for detecting acoustic signal in the underwater effected turbulent layer flow noise. In this paper to design the conformal array spectral density function was introduced and several cases of flow induced noise which affect transfer function were simulated. Modified Corcos wall pressure model was used as turbulent boundary layer flow noise. The effect of noise has been reduced as integrated sum of transfer function has been reduced by decreasing elastomer thickness and density when kx is in low wave number area. Also the characteristics of transfer function by Corcos wall pressure displayed the product of frequency density function. This simulation results can be applied to the conformal array design in unmmaned underwater vehicle in the near future.

  • Let M be the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra $H^{\infty}$ of bounded analytic functions on the open unit disc $\triangle$. For a positive singular measure ${\mu}\;on\;{\partial\triangle},\;let\;{L_{+}}^1(\mu)$ be the set of measures v with $0\;{\leq}\;{\nu}\;{\ll}\;{\mu}\;and\;{{\psi}_{\nu}}$ the associated singular inner functions. Let $R(\mu)\;and\;R_0(\mu)$ be the union sets of $\{$\mid$\psiv$\mid$\;<\;1\}\;and\;\{$\mid${\psi}_{\nu}$\mid$\;<\;0\}\;in\;M\;{\setminus}\;{\triangle},\;{\nu}\;\in\;{L_{+}}^1(\mu)$, respectively. It is proved that if $S(\mu)\;=\;{\partial\triangle}$, where $S(\mu)$ is the closed support set of $\mu$, then $R(\mu)\;=\;R0(\mu)\;=\;M{\setminus}({\triangle}\;{\cup}\;M(L^{\infty}(\partial\triangle)))$ is generated by $H^{\infty}\;and\;\overline{\psi_{\nu}},\;{\nu}\;{\in}\;{L_1}^{+}(\mu)$. It is proved that %d{\theta}(S(\mu))\;=\;0$ if and only if there exists as Blaschke product b with zeros $\{Zn\}_n$ such that $R(\mu)\;{\subset}\;{$\mid$b$\mid$\;<\;1}\;and\;S(\mu)$ coincides with the set of cluster points of $\{Zn\}_n$. While, we proved that $\mu$ is a sum of finitely many point measure such that $R(\mu)\;{\subset}\;\{$\mid${\psi}_{\lambda}$\mid$\;<\;1}\;and\;S(\lambda)\;=\;S(\mu)$. Also it is studied conditions on \mu for which $R(\mu)\;=\;R0(\mu)$.

  • Double patterning technology (DPT) has been suggested as a promising candidates of the next generation lithography technology in FLASH and DRAM manufacturing in sub-40nm technology node. DPT enables to overcome the physical limitation of optical lithography, and it is expected to be continued as long as e-beam lithography takes place in manufacturing. Several different processes for DPT are currently available in practice, and they are litho-litho-etch (LLE), litho-etch-litho-etch (LELE), litho-freeze-litho-etch (LFLE), and self-aligned double patterning (SADP) [1]. The self-aligned approach is regarded as more suitable for mass production, but it requires precise control of sidewall space etch profile for the exact definition of hard mask layer. In this paper, we propose etch end point detection (EPD) in spacer etching to precisely control sidewall profile in SADP. Conventional etch EPD notify the end point after or on-set of a layer being etched is removed, but the EPD in spacer etch should land-off exactly after surface removal while the spacer is still remained. Precise control of real-time in-situ EPD may help to control the size of spacer to realize desired pattern geometry. To demonstrate the capability of spacer-etch EPD, we fabricated metal line structure on silicon dioxide layer and spacer deposition layer with silicon nitride. While blanket etch of the spacer layer takes place in inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE), in-situ monitoring of plasma chemistry is performed using optical emission spectroscopy (OES), and the acquired data is stored in a local computer. Through offline analysis of the acquired OES data with respect to etch gas and by-product chemistry, a representative EPD time traces signal is derived. We found that the SE-EPD is useful for precise control of spacer etching in DPT, and we are continuously developing real-time SE-EPD methodology employing cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart [2].

  • During the design phase of a product, reliability and design engineers are called upon to evaluate the reliability of the system, The question of how to meet target reliability for the system arises when estimated reliability or cost is inadequate. This then becomes a problem of reliability allocation and system structure design. This study proposes the optimization methodology to achieve target reliability with minimum cost through construction of the cost function of system. In cost function, total cost means the sum of initial cost, repair cost and maintenance cost. This study constructs optimization problem about system structure design and reliability allocation using cost function. This problem constructed is solved by Multi-island Genetic Algorithm(MIGA), and applies to urban transit brake system. Current brake system of the urban transit is series system. Series system is the simplest and perhaps one of the most common system, but it demands high reliability and maintenance cost because all components must be operating to ensure system operation. Thus this study makes a comparative study by applying k-out-of-n system to brake system. This methodology presented can be a great tool for aiding reliability and design engineers in their decision-makings.

  • This paper proposes a M & S Tool for simulating the detection performance in the bistatic radar system. After examing the interrelationship among the bistatic radar parameters, $P_d$(probability of detection), $P_{fa}$(probability of false alarm) and ��SNR of the received signal, we analyze the range of the bistatic radar range product and range sum. We derive the number of integration of the received pulses that satisfies the required detection performance of the bistatic radar system, along with the analysis of the performance degradation in the jammer scenario. Finally, the analyzed results are implemented in the M & S Tool which consists of 4 modules.
