This paper presents a new prediction method RBP region-based prediction model where the context used for prediction contains regions instead of individual pixels. There is a meaningful property that RBP can partition a cartoon image into two distinctive types of regions, one containing full-color backgrounds and the other containing boundaries, edges and home-chromatic areas. With the development of computer techniques, synthetic images created with CG (computer graphics) becomes attactive. Like the demand on data compression, it is imperative to efficiently compress synthetic images such as cartoon animation generated with CG for storage of finite capacity and transmission of narrow bandwidth. This paper a lossy compression method to full-color regions and a lossless compression method to homo-chromatic and boundaries regions. Two criteria for partitioning are described, constant criterion and variable criterion. The latter criterion, in form of a linear function, gives the different threshold for classification in terms of contents of the image of interest. We carry out experiments by applying our method to a sequence of cartoon animation. We carry out experiments by applying our method to a sequence of cartoon animation. Compared with the available image compression standard MPEG-1, our method gives the superior results in both compression ratio and complexity.

본 논문에서는 블럭정렬과 선두 이동법에 의해 처리된 계열을 VF(Variable to Fixed)형 산술부호로 압축하는 방법을 제시한다. 길이 N으로 분해된 부분열을 1기호씩 순회시킨 후 사전식 순서로 정렬한다. 순회정렬된 부분열은 국소적으로 유사기호가 밀 집되기 때문에 이 성질을 활용하기 위하여 선두 이동법을 적용한다. 이와 같이 전처리 된 계열에 대해 오류전파를 1 부호어 이내로 제한할 수 있는 VF형 산술부호 로 엔트 로피 부호화한다. VF형 산술부호의 효율은 고정 크기의 부호어 집합을 어떻게 분할하 는가가 관건이다. 제안하는 VFAC(VF Arithmetic Code)는 새로 설정되는 정보원 기호에 대하여 완전분할을 이루게 하고, 반복적인 그레이 변환을 이용하여 발생기호의 확률을 효과적으로 나타낸다. 제안 방식의 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 엔트로피, 압 축율 및 처리속도의 측면에서 기존의 방식과 비교 분석한다.

As an attempt to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources and to improve the performance of a kerosene engine, a series of experiments was conducted using several kinds of ethanol-kerosene blends under the various compression ratios. The engine used in this study was a single-cylinder, four-cycle kerosene engine having a compression ratio of 4.5. To investigate the feasibility of ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine, kerosene and blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used. And to investigate the feasibility of improving the performance of the kerosene engine, a portion of the cylinder head was cut off to increase the compression ratio up to 5.0 by reducing the combustion chamber volume. Kerosene and blends of 30-percent and 40-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used for the modified engine with an increased compression ratio. Variable speed tests at wide-open throttle were also conducted at five speed levels in the range of 1000 to 2200 rpm for each compression ratio and fuel type. Volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake specific fuel consumption were determined, and brake thermal efficiency based on the lower heating values of kerosene and ethanol was calculated. The results obtained in the study are summarized as follows: A. Test with the original engine: (1) No abnormal conditions were found when burning ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine. (2) Volumetric efficiency increased with ethanol concentration in blends. When burning blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent ethanol, by volume, with kerosene, average volumetric efficiency increased 1.6 percent, 2.6 percent, and 4.1 percent respectively, than when burning kerosene. (3) Mean engine torque increased 5.2 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 9.3 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 11.5 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. Increase in engine torque when using ethanol-kerosene blends was due to the improved combustion characteristics of ethanol as well as an increase in volumetric efficiency. (4) Up to ethanol concentration of 20 percent, mean brake specific fuel consumption was nearly constant inspite of the difference in heating value between ethanol and kerosene. (5) Brake thermal efficiency increased 0.3 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 3.8 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 6.8 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. B. Test with the modified engine with an increased compression ratio: (1) When burning kerosene, mean volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake thermal efficiency were somewhat lower than for the original engine. (2) Engine torque increased 15.1 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 18.4 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. (3) There was no significant difference in brake specific fuel consumption regardless of ethanol concentration in blends. (4) Brake thermal efficiency increased 15.0 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 19. 5 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene.

본 논문은 심전도 데이터 압축을 위해 적응 프랙탈 보간(AFI)알고리듬 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 분할 프랙탈 보간(PFI) 알고리듬은 고정된 크기의 정의역 블럭을 사용한다. 따라서 그 재생오차가 원래의 심전도 신호의 특정 부분에 집중된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 적응 프랙탈 보간 알고리듬에서는 가변 정의역 블럭을 사용한다. 만약 미리 정한 허용오차가 만족되지 않으면 정의역 블럭은 두개의 더 작은 정의역 블럭들로 나뉘어지게 된다. 큰 정의역 블럭들은 높은 압축 효율을 얻기 위해 굴곡이 적은 파형을 부호화 하는데 사용되고, 더 작은 정의역 블럭들은 신호의 질을 유지하기 위해 급격히 변화하는 파형을 부호화 하는데 사용된다. 제안된 알고리즘은 MIT/BIH 데이터베이스를 사용하여 평가되었다. AFI알고리듬은 주어진 압축률에서 기존의 PFI알고리듬보다 상대적으로 적은 재생 오차를 나타냈다. 약 7.13% 정도의 실효치 차이가 허용되는 응용에서, AFI알고리듬은 매개변수들에 대한 엔트로피 코딩 없이 10.51 이상의 압축률을 얻을 수 있었다.

The exact solution of strength of reinforced concrete RC columns subjected to axial compression combined with biaxial bending needs trial and adjustment procedure to find the depth and inclination of the neutral axis. Thus, approximate methods of analysis and design for biaxial bending are used in practice. Load contour interprets the relation of biaxial bending and equivalent uniaxial bending by u factor which is related to material properties and column shapes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of high strength RC columns subjected to the combined axial compression and biaxial bending. Fifteen test specimens with dimensions of 200mm$\times$200mm and 4-Dl3 longitudinal steel were examined. The variable of the test is compressive strength of concrete (350, 585, 650kgf/$cm^{2}$), compression load ratio (0.2$P_{o}}$, 0.35$P_{o}}$, 0.5$P_{o}}$), and inclination of loading ($\theta$=0, 22.5, $45^{\circ}$). Test results of coefficient $\alpha$ depending on the compressive strength of concrete are compared with ACI code.

A series of high-pressure isotropic compression tests were performed on four types of poorly graded silica sand that were artificially prepared based on representative grading curves and similar mineralogy composition of seabed sediment containing different fines contents existing in the Nankai Trough. The addition of fines steepens the initial compression path and increases the decrement of the void ratio after loading. The transitional behaviour of the poorly graded sand with a larger amount of fines content was identified. The slope of the normal compression line shows a slight decreasing tendency with the level of fines content. The bulk modulus of silica sand with fines was lower when compared with the published results of silica sand without fines. A small amount of particle crushing of the four types of poorly graded sand with variable fines content levels was noticed, and the results indicated that the degree of particle crushing tended to decrease as the fines content increased.

본 논문에서는 기존의 BTC 방법을 개선한 새로운 ABTC(adaptive block truncation coding) 방법을 제안하였다. ABTC 알고리듬은 화상데이터의 부분적인 특성에 따라 압축방식을 선택적으로 적용함으로써 높은 압축률로 우수한 화질의 재생화면을 얻을 수 있다. ABTC 화상압축방식은 압축 알고리듬이 간단하면서도 높은 압축률을 얻을 수 있는 특징이 있다. 이 알고리듬을 사용하면 칼라화상을 1.0(bit/pel)에서 2.26(bit/pel)의 데이터 부호율 범위내에서 임의로 코딩할 수 있으며 원래의 화상에 비해 화질의 큰 손상없이 높은 압축률 $1.3{\sim}1.5bit/pel$을 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, we describe an approach to ECG data coding based on a fractal theory of iterated contractive transformations defined piecewise. The main characteristic of this approach is that it relies on the assumption that signal redundancy can be efficiently captured and exploited through piecewise self-transformability on a block-wise basis. The variable range size technique is employed to reduce the reconstruction error. Large ranges are used for encoding the smooth waveform to yield high compression efficiency, and the smaller ranges are used for encoding rapidly varying parts of the signal to preserve the signal quality. The suggested algorithm was evaluated using MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. A high compression ratio is achieved with a relatively low reconstruction error.

In this study, the size effect of concrete members subjected to the axial load and bending moment is investigated using a series of C-shaped specimens of which test procedure is similar to those of Hognestad, Hanson, and McHenry's. Main test variable is a size ratio of the specimens(1:1/2:1/4) at the concrete compressive strength of 500kg/㎠. Test results show that the flexural compression strength at failure decreases as the size of specimen increases, that is, the size effect law is present. Model equation is derived using regression analyses with experimental data and it is compared with formulas for compressive strength of cylinders and shear strength of beams without stirrups. Size effects is distinct th following sequence; shear strength of beams without stirrups, compressive strength of C-shaped specimens, compressive strength of cylinders.

The combination of physical models of an advanced engine control system was proposed to obtain sophisticated combustion control in ultra-lean combustion, including homogeneous compression-ignition and activated radical combustion with a light load and in stoichiometric mixture combustion with a full load. Physical models of intake, combustion and engine thermodynamics were incorporated, in which the effects of residual gas from prior cycles on intake air mass and combustion were taken into consideration. The combined control of compression ignition at a light load and sparit ignition at full load for a high compession ratio engine was investigated using simulations. The control strategies of the variable valve timing and the intake pressure were clarified to keep auto-ignition at a light load and prevent knock at a full load.
