In heterodyne laser interferometer, we use a phase difference between two beams to calculate target's length. However, there exist an nonlinearity error when measuring length in nanoscale. It is caused from frequency-mixed problem of two polarized beams, called cross talks. This fact limits the usefulness of an laser interferometer. To compensate the error, we propose a WLS(weighted least square) algorithm, which will reduce nonlinearity error and make a better optimization in heterodyne laser interferometer.

In an automatic combination weigher, the line feeders distribute the product to several weighing hoppers. The ability to supply appropriate amount of product to the weighing hoppers for each combination operation is crucial for the overall performance. Determining the right duration of operating a line feeder to supply a given amount of product becomes very challenging in case of products which are irregular in volume or specific gravity such as granular secondary processed foods. In this research, several schemes were investigated to determine the best way for a line feeder to approximate the next operating time in order to supply a set amount of irregular goods to the corresponding weighing hopper. Results obtained show that a weighted least squares method (WLS) employing 10 data points is the most effective in determining the operating times of line feeders.

A practical recursive weighted least square(WLS) solution is proposed to solve the passive ranging problem. Apart from the previous works based on the extended Kalman filter(EKF), to ensure the convergency at long-range, the proposed scheme makes use of line-of-sight(LOS) rate instead of bearing information. The influence of LOS rate measurement errors is investigated and it is asserted that the WLS estimates contain bias and scale factor errors. Together with simple compensation algorithm, the estimation errors of proposed filter can be reduced dramatically.

본 논문에서는 능동 소나의 구성 방법 및 관측 오차에 따른 위치 추정 성능에 대해서 다룬다. 능동 소나는 구성 방법에 따라서 크게 단상태 (Monostatic) 소나, 양상태 (Bistatic) 소나, 다중상태 (Multistatic) 소나로 분류될 수 있으며, 각각의 오차에 대한 특성이 서로 다르다 각 수신기가 거리 정보와 방위 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 가정하에 단상태, 양상태 소나와 다중상태 소나의 위치 추정 성능에 대해 비교해 보고 기존의 정보 융합 방법인 최소 자승법 (LS: Least square)에 가중치를 주는 가중치 최소 지승법 (WLS: Weighted least square)을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 방법을 이용하여 수신기의 수, 송수신기간 거리와 위치 추정 성능과의 연관성에 대하여 알아보고 효과적인 다중상태 소나 배치에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 모의 실험결과 다중상태 소나의 위치 추정 제곱근 오차평균이 단상태 소나에 비해 약 35.98%, 양상태 소나에 비해 약 37.45% 우수한 것을 볼 수 있었으며 WLS가 LS에 비해 평균 7.4% 우수한 성능을 나타내었고 각 센서에 입력되는 정보의 분산 차가 클수록 성능 향상율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

수위 관측 지점의 선정은 관측 기록의 목적, 지점의 접근성 등에 의해 결정되며, 수위는 유량을 계산하기 위한 필수 자료이므로 수위 관측 지점의 위치를 선정하는데 있어 수리조건은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이에 수위관측소(WLS, Water Level Station)는 홍수예경보, 수해방지 등의 치수계획과 하천운영, 용수공급 등의 이수계획 및 생태계 보전을 위한 수질관리계획 등의 목적을 달성할 수 있는 지점에 WMO에서 제시한 수위관측소의 최소 밀도를 고려하여 설치된다. 한국의 경우 치수측면에서 홍수예경보시스템의 홍수예보 대상지점과 홍수유출 계산지점을 가장 중요한 요소로 판단한다. 이에 홍수통제소에서 운영하는 홍수예보 프로그램에 적절한 수위관측망을 고려하기 위하여 프로그램에서 사용되고 있는 소유역 출구점 또는 합류점을 모두 수위관측소 위치로 포함시키고 있다. 인도네시아 Citarum강 홍수예경보 모형의 실행 및 검정을 위해서는 주요 지류의 출구마다 수위관측소를 설치하는 것이 바람직하나, 수위관측소의 설치 및 운영에는 많은 비용이 소요되기 때문에 주어진 예산을 고려해야 하며, 홍수예보를 실시하는 이유는 홍수로 인한 피해를 경감시키기 위한 것이기 때문에 인구와 홍수피해 잠재성이 높은 지점을 위주로 설치를 계획하여야 한다. 사업 대상지역인 Citarum강에서 BBWSC가 운영 관리하는 WLS는 29개소이며, 이 중 대상지역인 Upper Citarum Basin(UCRB)에는 20개소의 WLS가 운영되고 있다. 본 설계에서는 $300km^2$당 1개소의 수위관측소를 설치하는 것을 기준으로 설정하여 홍수예경보가 필요한 WLS 8개소를 도출하였으며, 소유역의 출구점 또는 합류점 등을 고려하여 수위관측소 위치를 결정하였다. 또한 UCRB의 과거 홍수피해상황, 과거 홍수범람실적, 홍수범람도 등을 조사하였으며, 실시간 자료 전송을 위한 통신 환경, 차량의 접근 용이성 및 하천구역 대표성 등을 고려하여 홍수예경보 구축을 위한 최적의 수위관측망을 설계하였다.

Indigenous Yakutian cattle' adaptation to the hardest subarctic conditions makes them a valuable genetic resource for cattle breeding in the Siberian area. Since early last century, crossbreeding between native Yakutian cattle and imported Simmental and Kholmogory breeds has been widely adopted. In this study, variations at 22 polymorphic microsatellite loci in 5 populations of Yakutian, Kholmogory, Simmental, Yakutian-Kholmogory and Yakutian-Simmental cattle were analysed to estimate the genetic contribution of Yakutian cattle to the two hybrid populations. Three statistical approaches were used: the weighted least-squares (WLS) method which considers all allele frequencies; a recently developed implementation of a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method called likelihood-based estimation of admixture (LEA); and a model-based Bayesian admixture analysis method (STRUCTURE). At population-level admixture analyses, the estimate based on the LEA was consistent with that obtained by the WLS method. Both methods showed that the genetic contribution of the indigenous Yakutian cattle in Yakutian-Kholmogory was small (9.6% by the LEA and 14.2% by the WLS method). In the Yakutian-Simmental population, the genetic contribution of the indigenous Yakutian cattle was considerably higher (62.8% by the LEA and 56.9% by the WLS method). Individual-level admixture analyses using STRUCTURE proved to be more informative than the multidimensional scaling analysis (MDSA) based on individual-based genetic distances. Of the 9 Yakutian-Simmental animals studied, 8 showed admixed origin, whereas of the 14 studied Yakutian-Kholmogory animals only 2 showed Yakutian ancestry (>5%). The mean posterior distributions of individual admixture coefficient (q) varied greatly among the samples in both hybrid populations. This study revealed a minor existing contribution of the Yakutian cattle in the Yakutian-Kholmogory hybrid population, but in the Yakutian-Simmental hybrid population, a major genetic contribution of the Yakutian cattle was seen. The results reflect the different crossbreeding patterns used in the development of the two hybrid populations. Additionally, molecular evidence for differences among individual admixture proportions was seen in both hybrid populations, resulting from the stochastic process in crossing over generations.

Content distribution to a large number of concurrent clients stresses both server and network. While the server limitation can be circumvented by deploying server clusters, the network limitation is far less easy to cope with, due to the difficulty in measuring and balancing network load. In this paper, we use two useful network load metrics, the worst link stress (WLS) and the degree of interference (DOI), and formulate the problem as partitioning the clients into disjoint subsets subject to the server capacity constraint so that the WLS and the DOI are reduced for each session and also well balanced across the sessions. We present a network load-aware partition algorithm, which is practicable and effective in achieving the design goals. Through experiments on PlanetLab, we show that the proposed scheme has the remarkable advantages over existing schemes in reducing and balancing the network load. We expect the algorithm and performance metrics can be easily applied to various Internet applications, such as media streaming, multicast group member selection.

The main aim of this study is to predict the compressive and flexural strengths of self-compacting mortar (SCM) containing $nano-SiO_2$, $nano-Fe_2O_3$ and nano-CuO using wavelet-based weighted least squares-support vector machines (WLS-SVM) approach which is called WWLS-SVM. The WWLS-SVM regression model is a relatively new metamodel has been successfully introduced as an excellent machine learning algorithm to engineering problems and has yielded encouraging results. In order to achieve the aim of this study, first, the WLS-SVM and WWLS-SVM models are developed based on a database. In the database, nine variables which consist of cement, sand, NS, NF, NC, superplasticizer dosage, slump flow diameter and V-funnel flow time are considered as the input parameters of the models. The compressive and flexural strengths of SCM are also chosen as the output parameters of the models. Finally, a statistical analysis is performed to demonstrate the generality performance of the models for predicting the compressive and flexural strengths. The numerical results show that both of these metamodels have good performance in the desirable accuracy and applicability. Furthermore, by adopting these predicting metamodels, the considerable cost and time-consuming laboratory tests can be eliminated.

The effects of dry roasting whole lupin seeds (lupinus albus, WLS) at 110, 130 or $150{^{\circ}C}$ for 15, 30 or 45 minutes on the in sacco rumen degradation characteristics, optimal heating conditions of time and temperature and in vitro enzyme digestibility were determined. Ruminant degradation characteristics (RDC) of crude protein (CP) of WLS were determined by in sacco technique in dairy cows. Measure ROC were soluble (S), undegradable (U), potentially degradable (D) fractions, lag time (TO) and rate of degradation (Kd) of insoluble but degradable fraction. Based on measured ROC, percentage bypass CP (%BCP) and bypass CP (BCP in g/kg, DM) were calculated. Degradability of CP was significantly reduced by dry roasting (p<0.001). The interaction of dry roasting temperature and time had significant effects on D (p<0.05), Kd (p<0.01), U (p<0.01), %BCP (p<0.001) and BCP (p<0.001) but not on S (p=0.923>0.05). With increasing time and temperature, S, D, Kd and U varied from 31.8%, 67.4%, 10.3%/h and 0.8% in the raw WLS (RWLS) to 27.1 %, 35.8%, 3.6%/h, 38.4% in $150{^{\circ}C}/45\;min$, respectively. All these effects resulted in increasing %BCP from 25.9 in RWLS to 61.0% in the $150{^{\circ}C}/45\;min$. Therefore BCP increased form 111.2 to 261.2 g/kg DM, respectively. Both %BCP and BCP at $150{^{\circ}C}/45\;min$ increased nearly 2.5 times over the RWLS. The effects of dry roasting on %BCP and BCP seemed to be linear up to the highest value tested. Although ROC had been altered by dry roasting, the In vitro perpsin-cellulase digestibility was generally unchanged. It was concluded that dry roasting was effective in shifting CP degradation from rumen to the lower gastrointestinal tract to potential reduce unnecessary N loss in the rumen. It might be of great value in successfully synchronizing the rhythms of release of nitrogen and energy in the rumen, thus achieving a more efficient fermentation of diets with high proportions of lignocellulosic resources. To determine the optimal dry roasting conditions, the digestibility of each treatment in the cows will be measured in the next trial using mobile bags technique.

This paper suggests a marginal probability model for analyzing repeated polytomous response data when some factors are nested in others in treatment structures on a larger experimental unit. As a repeated measures factor, time is considered on a smaller experimental unit. So, two different experiment sizes are considered. Each size of experimental unit has its own design structure and treatment structure, and the marginal probability model can be constructed from the structures for each size of experimental unit. Weighted least squares(WLS) methods are used for estimating fixed effects in the suggested model.
