Dried red peppers are a staple agricultural product used in Korean cuisine and as such, are an important aspect of agricultural producers' income. Correctly forecasting both their supply and demand situations and price is very important in terms of the producers' income and consumer price stability. The primary objective of this study was to compare the performance of time series forecasting models for dried red peppers in Korea. In this study, three models (an autoregressive model with exogenous variables [ARX], AR-exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity [EGARCH], and ARX-EGARCH) are presented for forecasting the wholesale price of dried red peppers. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that the ARX model and ARX-EGARCH model, each of which adopt both the rolling window and the adding approach and use the agricultural cooperatives price as the exogenous variable, showed a better forecasting performance compared to the autoregressive model (AR)-EGARCH model. Based on the estimation methods and results, there was no significant difference in the accuracy of the estimation between the rolling window and adding approach. In the case of dried red peppers, there is limitation in building the price forecasting models with a market-structured approach. In this regard, estimating a forecasting model using only price data and identifying the forecast performance can be expected to complement the current pricing forecast model which relies on market shipments.

The study analyzed the heat losses and the building energy efficiency grade by the energy simulation using the ENERGY# and ECO2 programs for the three types of Standard design of rural houses. It was calculated the energy efficiency rating by the ECO2 program for the rural housing standard design, and the energy demand and the energy consumption by each factor were compared and analyzed. And it analyzed energy consumption by element of each house by ENERGY # program. As a result, first in the evaluation of the energy efficiency grade of buildings by the ECO2 program, the rating for primary energy requirement for the housing newly built by the standard design of rural house is expected to range from 2 to 4 with 189.3 to $238.7kWh/m^2.a$. Second, the energy loss of each part of standard design of rural housing occurs in the order of ventilation 39%, window 33%, outer wall 14%, roof 9%, bottom 5%, and energy loss through ventilation and window occurs more than 70%. Third, the most beneficial effects on the energy efficiency grade is obtained the lowest grade of all three types by 2 when the lowering of the window and door heat transmission rate and the lowering of the light density, and the heat exchange ventilation device is not installed. Fourth, in the standard design of rural housing, the energy demand is occupied by heating > hot water > lighting order, and the order of the weight is changed in order of heating > lighting > ventilation > hot water. Fifth, building energy efficiency assessment system needs to establish policy for fixing rural housing energy as a practical device to ensure energy performance and quality.

One basic function of glazing system has always been the maintenance of visual contact with the natural environment-a fundamentally ecological function. In addition, penetration light through glazing system have an effect on variable atmosphere of interior. In this study, a typical office space was selected as a evaluation model and a 1/10 scale model was made. The conventional window, differentiated window and interior lightshelf were designed to enhance daylighting performance. The chromaticity and color temperature of interior space was measured using Prometric 1421. The result showed that transmittance by wavelength range of the glazing had an effect on chromaticity and color temperature. Also, color temperature of indoor environment were increased by $5{\sim}20[%]$ using differentiated window and interior lightshelf. Accordingly, it is thought that the use of a daylighting system will create activate indoor atmosphere.

Face detection at a distance faces is very challenging since images are often degraded by blurring and noise as well as low resolution. This paper proposes an improved face detection method with AdaBoost filtering and sequential testing stages with color and shape information. The conventional AdaBoost filter detects face regions but often generates false alarms. The face detection method is improved by adopting sequential testing stages in order to remove false alarms. The testing stages comprise skin-color test and variable edge-mask filtering. The skin-color filtering is composed of two steps, which involve rectangular window regions and individual pixels to generate binary face clusters. The size of the variable edge-mask is determined by the ellipse which is estimated from the face cluster. The validation of the horizontal and vertical ratio of the mask is also investigated. In the experiments, the efficacy of the proposed algorithm is proved by images captured by a CCTV and a smart-phone

Structural parameter evaluation and external force estimation are two important parts of structural health monitoring. But the structural parameter identification with limited input information is still a challenging problem. A new simultaneous identification method in time domain is proposed in this study to identify the structural parameters and evaluate the external force. Each sampling point in the time history of external force is taken as the unknowns in force evaluation. To reduce the number of unknowns for force evaluation the time domain measurements are divided into several windows. In each time window the structural excitation is decomposed by orthogonal polynomials. The time-variant excitation can be represented approximately by the linear combination of these orthogonal bases. Structural parameters and the coefficients of decomposition are added to the state variable to be identified. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is augmented and selected as the mathematical tool for the implementation of state variable evaluation. The proposed method is validated numerically with simulation studies of a time-invariant linear structure, a hysteretic nonlinear structure and a time-variant linear shear frame, respectively. Results from the simulation studies indicate that the proposed method is capable of identifying the dynamic load and structural parameters fairly accurately. This method could also identify the time-variant and nonlinear structural parameter even with contaminated incomplete measurement.

비트율 제어 알고리듬의 목적은 ‘비트율 제한조건을 만족하면서 화질을 일정하게 유지하는 것’이다. 그러나 통상적인 비트율 제어 알고리듬에서는 화질을 일정하게 유지시키는 것 보다는 버퍼의 오버플로우 및 언더플로우가 발생하지 않도록 비트를 분배하는 것이 주된 목적으로서 시퀀스가 진행함에 따라 불가피하게 시각적으로 바람직하지 않은 화질의 등락이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 비트율 제어의 본질적인 목적에 부합하도록 버퍼 제한조건을 만족시키는 범위에서 화질을 가능한 한 일정하게 유지하는 방법을 제시한다. 제안방법에서는 먼저 일반적인CBR(constant bit rate) 알고리듬으로 부호화를 먼저 시작한 후, 일정 크기의 슬라이딩 윈도우 내에서 발생한 시퀀스를 분석하여 다음 단계에서 사용할 양자화 파라미터의 기준값을 결정한다. 마지막 단계에서는 다시 시퀀스의 처음으로 돌아가 얻어진 기준 양자화 파라미터를 사용하여 VBR(variable bir tate)의 부호화를 수행한다. 제안 방법은 실시간의 제한요소가 엄격하지 않은 응용분야에서 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

The degree of dispersion of a random variable can be described by the variance, which reflects the distance of the random variable from its mean. However, the time complexity of the traditional variance calculation algorithm is O(n), which results from full calculation of all samples. When the number of samples increases or on the occasion of high speed signal processing, algorithms with O(n) time complexity will cost huge amount of time and that may results in performance degradation of the whole system. A novel multi-step recursive algorithm for variance calculation of the time-varying data series with O(1) time complexity (constant time) is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulation and experiments of the algorithm is presented and the results demonstrate that the proposed multi-step recursive algorithm can effectively decrease computing time and hence significantly improve the variance calculation efficiency for time-varying data, which demonstrates the potential value for time-consumption data analysis or high speed signal processing.

A fabrication process of smart windows with controllable visible light transmittance by using retardation films is proposed. The 𝛌/4-phase retardation films that can convert a linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light are achieved through photo-alignment layers and reactive mesogen (RM) coating process. Two sheets of the fabricated retardation films with different orientation angles induced to light transmission mode (45°/-45°) and light blocking mode (45°/45°) for visible wavelength. We evaluated retardation characteristics according to the thickness of the birefringent RM material and found out the optimal condition for the film with 𝚫n·d of 𝛌/4-phase. The proposed structure of the smart window exhibited the light blocking ratio improved by more than 20% in the visible wavelength (380 nm to 780 nm). Finally, it was confirmed that the feasibility of the window structure by applying to a prototype for a smart window with a size of 150 × 150 mm².

Data Mining is widely used to discover knowledge in many fields. Although there are many methods to discover association rule, most of them are based on frequency-based approaches. Therefore it is not appropriate for stream environment. Because the stream environment has a property that event data are generated continuously. it is expensive to store all data. In this paper, we propose a new method to discover association rules based on stream environment. Our new method is using a variable window for extracting data items. Variable windows have variable size according to the gap of same target event. Our method extracts data using COBJ(Count object) calculation method. FPMDSTN(Frequent pattern Mining over Data Stream using Terminal Node) discovers association rules from the extracted data items. Through experiment, our method is more efficient to apply stream environment than conventional methods.

The ultimate goal of flow control in the semiconductor fabrication process, one of the most equipment-intensive and complex manufacturing process, is to reduce lead time and work in process. In this paper, we propose stand alone layout in the form of job shop using group technology to improve the Productivity and eliminate the inefficiency in FMS (flexible manufacture system). The performance of stand alone layout and in-line layout are analyzed and compared while varying number of device variable chanties. The analysis of in-line layout is obtained by examining its adoption in the memory products of semiconductor factory. The comparison is performed through simulation using ProSys; a window 95 based discrete system simulation software, as a tool for comparing performance of two proposed layouts. The comparison demonstrates that when the number of device variable change is small, in-line layout is more efficient in terms of production Quantity. However, as the number of device variable change is more than 14 times, stand alone layout prevails over in-line layout.
