Domestically, demands for multi-purpose performance venues which accommodate various performance genres have increased. However, those venues have limited capability and confined to a primary performance. The present work investigated various methods for controlling the acoustics of room for required performance genres by reviewing aurally presented and published materials. The method of varying the acoustics of a space is called Variable Acoustics, and adjusted in either passive and active ways. Passive control encompasses variable absorption, variable volume, coupled volume, and canopy reflectors, where the acoustics of a room is controlled in an architectural way. Active control includes In-line, Regenerative, and Hybrid systems where the acoustics of a room is manipulated electronically. The mechanism and application of each passive control system in existing venues are reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed. Also, the concept of each active systems and product applications are looked at through literature reviews. Lastly, some considerations that need to be taken into in the planning and design stage of a multi-purpose hall using Variable Acoustics are suggested.

혈관에 흐르는 혈류 속도의 측정은 혈압 및 심박수와 관련된 혈류의 역학적 변화를 관찰하는 데 있어서 주로 사용되는 방법 중의 하나이다. 이 혈류 속도는 일반적으로 도플러 효과에 의하여 주파수가 변화하는 현상을 이용하여 추정하게 된다. 그런데 기존의 주파수 추정 방법들은 시불변 시스템을 가정하고 있지만 실제 혈관 속은 혈구가 일정하지 않은 속도를 갖는 시변 시스템이라 할 수 있기 때문에 이러한 시변 특성이 강한 경우 기존의 방법을 이용하게 되면 그 성능이 저하되는 경향을 보인다. 또 피시험자의 몸 상태에 따라서 서로 다른 주파수 변화 추이를 보이므로 하나의 고정 변수로써 최적화된 성능을 기대하기도 어렵다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 시변 시스템에서 좋은 성능을 갖는 가변 망각 인자(variable forgetting factor, VFF)를 사용한 순환적인 완전 최소 자승법(recursive total least squares, RTLS) 기법을 이용한 주파수 추정 방법을 제안한다. RTLS란 TLS 기법을 순차적으로 계산하는 방법으로 시변 적응력을 향상시키는 방법이다. 또한 이 기법에 가변 망각 인자(VFF)를 적용시키는 것은 시변 시스템에서 외부적인 변화에 대하여 좀더 효율적으로 대응할 수 있기 위함이다. 기존의 방법과 성능 비교를 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 하였으며 그 결과 시변 시스템에서 본 논문에서 제안한 VFF를 이 용한 RTLS 기법이 보다 향상된 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Since Philipp Reis succeeded in sending human voices through electric wires well ahead of Elisha Gray and A. G. Bell etc., he deserves to be acknowledged as the inventor of the telephone. Nevertheless, he did not enjoy any honor for his great invention while he was alive. Since he was working in a scientific community, his work was presented not as a patentable invention but as a scientific discovery. In addition, he used the intermittent electricity in accordance with the experimental tradition in European acoustics, occasioning the speech quality of his telephone to have a fatal shortcoming. On the contrary, Bell, who was a novice in electricity and acoustics, employed variable currents to transmit the sound signals, which guaranteed better speech qualities than Reis's.

The present paper is concerned at investigating the effect of hydrostatic initial stress, gravity and magnetic field in fiber-reinforced thermoelastic solid, with variable thermal conductivity. The formulation of the problem applied in the context of the three-phase-lag model, Green-Naghdi theory with energy dissipation, as well as coupled theory. The exact expressions of the considered variables by using state-space approaches are obtained. Comparisons are performed in the absence and presence of the magnetic field as well as gravity. Also, a comparison was made in the three theories in the absence and presence of variable thermal conductivity as well as hydrostatic initial stress. The study finds applications in composite engineering, geology, seismology, control system and acoustics, exploration of valuable materials beneath the earth's surface.

Articulation test is a good predictor of spatial speech transmission quality. Like many other languages, articulation testing method using Korean language was proposed in 1989, and which was proved as a valid indicator in rooms with static background noise. In this paper, the testing method is examined in variable noise conditions. According to the experiment performed in 26 classrooms with variable background noise, the proposed articulation testing method using Korean Language is still in variable conditions.

Acoustic propagation in shallow water with changing environments is a major concern of navy. Temporal and spatial variability of acoustic propagation in the northern East China Sea (ECS) is studied, using the 11 years hydrographic data and the Bellhop acoustic model. Acoustic propagation in the northern ECS is highly variable due to extensive interaction of various ocean currents and boundaries. Seasonal variations of transmission loss (TL) with various source depths are highly affected by sharp gradient of sound speed and bottoms interaction. Especially, various bottom sediment types lead to severely degrading a waterborne propagation with bottom loss. In particular, the highly increased TL near the ocean front depends on the source position, and the direction of sound propagation.

Recently, many membrane structure buildings are constructed with the trend of multi functional and high technological construction. The membrane structure has the characteristics such as distinguished architectural shape which can make variable space creation and can make economic use of material. Therefore, it is in the spotlight of sport complex, various concert hall, and public service buildings. However, the acoustic study of membrane structure has not been following up the increasing demand for the membrane structure. In this study, the acoustic characteristics of membrane structure will be studied and analyzed using architectural acoustic factors based on acoustic design theory And also, the differences between theoretical exhortation value and outcome of study will be studied with the basis of architectural acoustic material study.

A simple Crocco's $n-{\tau}$ time delay model and linear analysis of fluid flow coupled with acoustics are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instability in the combustion chamber of LOX/hydrocarbon engines. The partial differential equation of the velocity potential is separated into ordinary differential equations, and eigenvalues that correspond to tangential resonance modes in the cylindrical chamber are determined. A general solution is obtained by solving the differential equation in the axial direction, and boundary conditions at the injector face and nozzle entrance are applied in order to calculate the chamber admittance. Frequency analysis of the transfer function is used to evaluate the stability of system. Stability margin is determined from the system gain and phase angle for the desired frequency range of 1T mode. The chamber model with variable baffle length and configurations are also considered in order to enhance the 1T mode stability of the combustion chamber.

The absorption coefficients of the materials used in a 1:50 scale model multipurpose hall were measured based on ISO 354 and related laws. The shape and materials for the scale model were evaluated based on reflective surfaces, variable acoustic elements and sound-absorbing quality (125Hz-1kHz average) of seats. The measured average absorption coefficients of audience seats, audience and orchestra were 0.64, 0.74 and 0,45, respectively, which were simulated with the combination of wood, absorption materials and foam board. Various mounting methods for absorption curtain and banner were considered according to the installation methods. The average absorption coefficient was measured as 0.42, 0.47 and 0.45 in the conditions of Type A mounting, E mounting with 0.9 m backing air cavity, and Type G mounting which is suspended at the ceiling, respectively. It was confirmed that the absorption coefficient was increased at low frequency by backing air gap. The finishing material of stage house was an absorption material covered with thin fabric, which aimed average absorption coefficient of 0.68 by using fiber glass board. Each part of the real materials was compared with those of 1:50 scale model and it was found that the absorption characteristics of both cases were similar.
