As the tendency of children's overdependence on smart phones increased, it was obligatory to carry out preventive education more than once a year in kindergarten and day care center, but there is no specific guidance on contents and method of preventive education. This is due to the lack of prior studies on the actual use of smartphones and the influence variables of infants and young children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of use time, frequency of use, and sociological background variables on the actual situation of smartphone usage and overdependency on smartphone among 3-5 year old children nationwide. For the analysis, the frequency of the use of smartphone for 3-5 year old children was analyzed by frequency analysis, and the influence variables were correlated and multiple regression analysis. Research shows that smartphone overdependence of 3-5 year old children have an influence on the use time and frequency of use. The results should include content that restricts the use time and frequency of use of smartphones and prevention education programs for 3-5 year olds and young children. Suggesting a need for a transition to the educational method used.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.

A disadvantage of Fourier analysis is that frequency information can only be extracted for the complete duration of a signal f(t). Since the Fourier transform integral extends over all time, from $-{\infty}$ to $+{\infty}$), the information it provides arises from an average over the whole length of the signal. If there is a local oscillation representing a particular feature, this will contribute to the calculated Fourier transform $F({\omega})$, but its location on the time axis will be lost There is no way of knowing whether the value of $F({\omega})$ at a particular ${\omega}$ derives from frequencies present throughout the life of f(t) or during just one or a few selected periods. This disadvantage is overcome in wavelet analysis which provides an alternative way of breaking a signal down into its constituent parts. The main advantage of the wavelet transform over the conventional Fourier transform is that it can not only provide the combined temporal and spectral features of the signal, but can also localize the target information in the time-frequency domain simultaneously. The wavelet transform distinguishes itself from Short Time Fourier Transform for time-frequency analysis in that it has a zoom-in and zoom-out capability.

Through-wall ultra-wide band (UWB) radar has been considered as one of the preferred and non-contact technologies for the targets detection owing to the better time resolution and stronger penetration. The high time resolution is a result of a larger of bandwidth of the employed UWB pulses from the radar system, which is a useful tool to separate multiple targets in complex environment. The article emphasised on human subject localization and detection. Human subject usually can be detected via extracting the weak respiratory signals of human subjects remotely. Meanwhile, the range between the detection object and radar is also acquired from the 2D range-frequency matrix. However, it is a challenging task to extract human respiratory signals owing to the low signal to clutter ratio. To improve the feasibility of human respiratory signals detection, a new method is developed via analysing the standard deviation based kurtosis of the collected pulses, which are modulated by human respiratory movements in slow time. The range between radar and the detection target is estimated using joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) of the analysed characteristics, which provides a novel preliminary signature for life detection. The breathing rates are obtained using the proposed accumulation method in time and frequency domain, respectively. The proposed method is validated and proved numerically and experimentally.

One of unique characteristics of guided waves is a dispersive behavior that guided wave velocity changes with an excitation frequency and mode. In practical applications of guided wave techniques, it is very important to identify propagating modes in a time-domain waveform for determination of defect location and size. Mode identification can be done by measurement of group velocity in a time-domain waveform. Thus, it is preferred to generate a single or less dispersive mode But in many cases, it is difficult to distinguish a mode clearly in a time-domain waveform because of superposition of multi modes and mode conversion phenomena. Time-frequency analysis is used as efficient methods to identify modes by presenting wave energy distribution in a time-frequency. In this study, experimental guided wave mode identification is carried out in a steel plate using time-frequency analysis methods such as wavelet transform. The results are compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curves. The results are in good agreement with analytical predictions and show the effectiveness of using the wavelet transform method to identify and measure the amplitudes of individual guided wave modes.

In this study, we attempt to design a real-time autonomic nervous system(ANS) evaluation system usable during exercise using heart instantaneous frequency(HIF). Although heart rate variability(HRV) is considered to be a representative signal widely used ANS evaluation system, the R-peak detection process must be included to obtain an HRV signal, which involves a high sampling frequency and interpolation process. In particular, it cannot accurately evaluate the ANS using HRV signals during exercise because it is difficult to detect the R-peak of electrocardiogram(ECG) signals with exposure to many noises during exercise. Therefore, in this study, we develop the ground for a system that can analyze an ANS in real-time by using the HIF signal circumventing the problem of the HRV signal during exercise. First, we compare the HRV and HIF signals in order to prove that the HIF signal is more efficient for ANS analysis than HRV signals during exercise. Further, we performed real-time ANS analysis using HIF and confirmed that the exerciser's ANS variation experiences massive surges at points of acceleration and deceleration of the treadmill(similar to HRV).

구조용 부재에서 충격하중에 의해 발생하는 탄성파의 분산특성을 해석하기 위하여 시간-주파수 신호처리를 이용하였다. 강재 보와 알루미늄 판에서 충격하중을 모사하기 위하여 강구 낙하와 연필심 파단을 사용하였으며, 이로 인해 발생한 탄성파를 초음파 탐측자와 음향방출(AE) 센서를 사용하여 수신하였다. 실험에서 수신한 시간 영역의 신호해석을 위하여 분산성 파의 시간-주파수 해석이 가능한 웨이브렛 변환(WT)을 적용하였다. WT 변환의 크기의 최대값은 군속도의 도달시간을 나타냄을 보였다. 실험에서 측정한 보의 굽힘파의 군속도를 전단변형과 회전관성을 고려한 Timoshenko 보 이론과 비교하였으며, 판의 신장파와 굽힘파의 군속도를 Rayleigh-Lamb 분산관계식의 최저차 대칭($S_0$) 및 비대칭 모드($A_0$)의 속도값과 비교하였는데 모두 잘 일치하였다.

본 연구는 혼합주기모형을 해운경기 예측에 활용하기 위해 기존의 비선형 장기균형관계분석에서 통계적으로 유의한 요인들을 단기모형에 적용하였다. 가장 일반적인 단일변수(univariate) AR(1) 모형과 혼합주기모형으로부터 각각 표본외 예측을 실시하여 예측오차와 비교한 결과 혼합주기모형의 예측력이 AR(1) 모형보다 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 실증분석은 새로운 고차원 혼합주기모형이 해운경기변동 예측에 유용한 모형임을 의미하며, 즉, 최근 다변수 시계열 자료가 주로 장기균형관계(long-run equilibrium)를 대상으로 하고 있는데, 고차주기와 같은 정보를 분석에 포함할 경우 단기 해운경기 분석모형의 예측력이 향상될 수 있음을 의미하는 분석결과이다.

This study has analyzed the process of space information perceived and recognized through the estimation of observation frequency and number according to the time range of observation data acquired from observation experiment with the object of hospital lobby. The followings are the results analyzed at this study. First, the continual observation of 3 and 6 times was attentive and conscious for probing to find an object rather than for acquiring exact information and that of 9 times could be regarded as the time for acquiring visual appreciation. However, the repetitive occurrence of high and low frequencies can be thought of repetitive acts for visual appreciation. Second, the continual observation of 3 and 6 times had the highest observation frequency of II, while that of 9 times had the highest observation frequency of III. In case of 3 and 6 times, the observation frequency had the tendency to become a little higher after being low since V, and in case of 9 times it had the repetition of becoming low and high and from IX it characteristically got higher. This feature can be thought to be the process that the subject repeats the fixation and movement of observation at a visual activity for perception and recognition. In the process of first observation, the observation frequency was the highest after 20 seconds or so, but since then, it gets lower and repeatedly gets higher and lower as time passes. After 90 seconds, the frequency showed the tendency of getting higher continuously. Third, the examination of changing features of frequency may show the characteristics of exploration for and attention to space but if the observation frequency is not associated with observation times for analysis there will a limitation that the features of observation frequency cannot be clarified. Accordingly, the simultaneous analysis of both is very effective for estimating the observation characteristics seen at the processes of perception and recognition. Fourth, the general analysis of the both revealed: with the progress of observation time the discontinuous space exploration decreased, and as the observation time got longer the fixed attention to a specific spot increased. Fifth, in order to estimate the observation characteristics by the change of time range the observation frequency and times by trend line was analyzed, which approach seems to be an appropriate technique that can comprehensively show the overall flow of time series data.
