Autoregressive한 TTS 모델은 불안정성과 속도 저하라는 본질적인 문제를 안고 있다. 모델이 time step t의 데이터를 잘못 예측했을 때, 그 뒤의 데이터도 모두 잘못 예측하는 것이 불안정성 문제이다. 음성 출력 속도 저하 문제는 모델이 time step t의 데이터를 예측하려면 time step 1부터 t-1까지의 예측이 선행해야 한다는 조건에서 발생한다. 본 연구는 autoregression이 야기하는 문제의 대안으로 end-to-end non-autoregressive 가속 TTS 모델을 제안한다. 본 연구의 모델은 Tacotron 2 - WaveNet 모델과 근사한 MOS, 더 높은 안정성 및 출력 속도를 보였다. 본 연구는 제안한 모델을 토대로 non-autoregressive한 TTS 모델 개선에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

PURPOSE: The Purpose of this study was on determine whether stair gait exercise and lamp gait exercise might increase the gait ability of the patients with stroke METHODS: Fourty five patients with stroke were randomly assigned to plane gait exercise group(n=15) and ramp gait exercise group(n=15) and stair gait exercise group(n=15). During four weeks, each group participated thirty minutes for five times per week. Subjects were assessed using pre-value and post-value measurement gait ability(Step length, Heel to heel base of support, Step time, Double support ratio, Gait velocity). RESULTS: These finding suggest that stair gait exercise group was significant in Step length, Heel to heel base of support, Step time, Double support ratio, Gait velocity(p<.05). And lamp gait exercise group was only significant increase in Step time, Gait velocity(p<.05). In comparison of three group, stair gait exercise group was high gait ability than other two groups(p>.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed stair gait exercise group can be used to improve gait ability than other two groups. Thus it indicates that the stair gait exercise group will be more improved through the continued gait program.

A reduced machining time and increased accuracy for the sculptured surface are very important when producing complicated parts. The step-size and tool-path interval are essential components in high speed and high resolution machining. If they are small, the machining time will increase, whereas if they are large, rough surfaces will be caused. In particular, the machining time, which is key in high speed machining, is affected by the tool-path interval more than the step-size. The conventional method for calculating the tool=path interval is to select a small parametric increment of a small increment based on the curvature of the surface. However, this approach also has limitations. The first is that the tool-path interval can not be calculated precisely. The second is that a separate tool-path interval needs to be calculated in each of the three cases. The third is that the conversion from Cartesian domain to parametric domain or vice versa must be necessary. Accordingly, the current study proposes a new tool-path interval algorithm that do not involve a curvature and that is not necessary for any conversion and a variable step-size algorithm for NURBS.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61788-26:2020 provides guidelines for measuring the critical current of Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tapes using two methods: linear ramp and step-hold methods. The critical current measurement criterion, 1 or 0.1 μV/cm of electric field from IEC 61788-26 has been normally applied to REBCO coils or magnets. No-insulation (NI) winding technique has many advantages in aspects of electrical and thermal stability and mechanical integrity. However, the leak current from the NI REBCO coil can cause distortion in critical current measurement due to the characteristic resistance which causes the radial current flow paths. In this paper, we simulated the NI REBCO coil by applying both linear ramp and step-hold methods based on a simplified equivalent circuit model. Using the circuit analysis, we analyzed and evaluated both methods. By using the equivalent circuit model, we can evaluate the critical current of the NI REBCO coil, resulting in an estimation error within 0.1%. We also evaluate the accuracy of critical current measurement using both the linear ramp and step-hold methods. The accuracy of the linear ramp method is influenced by the inductive voltage, whereas the accuracy of the step-hold method depends on the duration of the hold-time. An adequate hold time, typically 5 to 10 times the time constant (τ), makes the step-hold method more accurate than the linear ramp method.

건강한 노년을 위해 중년부터 건강 관리를 해나가야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 중년여성들이 시간과 장소에 구애 받지 않고 간단한 운동을 통해 최대 효과를 볼 수 있는 운동 프로그램을 적용하여 보행메커니즘에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 45세 이상 중년 여성을 대상으로 종아리 강화 운동 그룹 10명, 대조군 10명으로 총 20명을 선정하였다. 종아리 강화 운동군의 운동 전후를 비교한 결과 step length 좌측과 우측 그리고 double support, step time(좌), speed가 향상되었다. 운동 후 종아리 강화 운동군과 비운동 그룹의 보행메커니즘을 비교한 결과 step length 좌측과 우측, step time 좌측과 우측이 향상되었다. 시간 및 장소에 특별히 구애 받지 않는 종아리 강화 운동을 통해 보행메커니즘의 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 특히 보폭은 넓어져 하지의 힘이 생기고 한발 지지구간은 짧아져 보행의 속도는 증가한 것으로 나타나 의미 있는 결과를 도출했다고 판단한다. 향후 연구에서는 청소년, 노년 층 등 전 연령에 걸쳐 평가하여 생애주기 별 측정데이터를 제시하고 평상시 운동 부족으로 사회적 문제를 야기하는데 있어 기초자료로 제공하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

A two-step process was investigated for pretreatment and fractionation of rice straw. The two-step fractionation process involves first, soaking rice straw in aqueous ammonia (SAA) in a batch reactor to recover lignin-rich hydrolysate. This is followed by a second-step treatment in a fixed-bed flow-through column reactor to recover xylo-oligomer-rich hydrolysate. The remaining glucan-rich solid cake is then subjected to an enzymatic process. In the first variant, SAA treatment in the first step dissolves lignin at moderate temperature (60 and $80^{\circ}C$), while in the second step, hot-water treatment is used for xylan removal at higher temperatures ($150{\sim}210^{\circ}C$). Under optimal conditions ($190^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, 30 min reaction time, 5.0 ml/min flow rate, and 2.3 MPa reaction pressure), the SAA-hot-water fractionation removed 79.2% of the lignin and 63.4% of the xylan. In the second variant, SAA was followed by treatment with dilute sulfuric acid. With this process, optimal treatment conditions for effective fractionation of xylo-oligomer were found to be $80^{\circ}C$, 12 h reaction time, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:12 in the first step; and 5.0 ml $H_2SO_4/min$, $170^{\circ}C$, and 2.3 MPa in the second step. After this two-step fractionation process, 85.4% lignin removal and 78.9% xylan removal (26.8% xylan recovery) were achieved. Use of the optimized second variant of the two-step fractionation process (SAA and $H_2SO_4$) resulted in enhanced enzymatic digestibility of the treated solid (99% glucan digestibility) with 15 FPU (filter paper unit) of CTec2 (cellulase)/g-glucan of enzyme loading, which was higher than 92% in the two-step fractionation process (SAA and hot-water).

For the robust control, sliding mode control has gained a great attention. Sliding mode control has the good robustness, because it makes the state of system reach the origin of the state space, by a varying the structure of system on the sliding surface. The slope of sliding surface affects to the control performance. If it is small, robustness is increased at the expense of reaching time. On the contrary, if it is large, reaching time is decreased at the expense of robustness and overshoot. In this paper, to design the optimal sliding surface, optimal control theory is introduced. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, the position control of step motor is implemented.

In this paper, the unsteady Stokes problem is considered and also the pressure-correction method for the problem is described. At a fixed time level, we reduce the problem to two symmetric positive definite problems which depend on a time step parameter. Linear systems that arise from the problems are large, sparse, symmetric, positive definite and ill-conditioned as the time step tends to zero. Preconditioned problems based on an additive Schwarz method for solving the symmetric positive definite problems are derived and preconditioners are defined implicitly. It will be shown that the rate of convergence is independent of the mesh parameters as well as the time step size.

In performing the dynamic analysis, the step size used in a step-by-step integration method might be much smaller than that required by the accuracy consideration in order to capture the rapid chances of dynamic loading or to eliminate the linearization errors. It was first found by Chen and Robinson that these difficulties might be overcome by integrating the equations of motion with respect to time once. A further study of this technique is conducted herein. This include the theoretical evaluation and comparison of the capability to capture the rapid changes of dynamic loading if using the constant average acceleration method and its integral form and the exploration of the superiority of the time integration to reduce the linearization error. In addition, its advantage in the solution of the impact problems or the wave propagation problems is also numerically demonstrated. It seems that this time integration technique can be applicable to all the currently available direct integration methods.
