  • Speech is classified into voiced signal and unvoiced signal. Since the amplitude of voiced fall off at about -20dB/decade, dynamic range is often compressed prior to spectral analysis so that details at weak, high frequencies may be visible[5][6] There is a distinct difference in spectrum slope between voiced signal and unvoiced signal. In this paper, we got the slope of each frame by using autocorrelation method, and determined voiced /unvoiced region. Also, we used energy to decide region of silence. To show experimental results, we allot to 1 value in voiced region, -1 value in unvoiced region and 0 value in silence region.

  • We present analysis results of the energy spectra of MCG-2-58-22 associated with occasional flares which appear in a long-term X-ray light curve. We measure an intrinsic power-law slope of this object to be ${\Gamma}=1.74{\pm}0.02$ in the energy range of ${\sim}1-5keV$ and find that this slope is little affected by flares. We confirm that there exists a broad excess emission above 5 keV to the power-law continuum. The excess emission is less variable compared with a flux variation of flare and tends to be relatively weak during flares. A soft X-ray spectrum is also found to change, implying the presence of a variable soft component. We discuss the implications of these spectral variations.

  • Three-dimensional laser scanner was used to accurately measure any possible strain on a slope under pertaining stress with the time difference of 7 months. The laser scanner has the ability to measure the 3-D coordinate of a target point by calculating the travel time of laser beam between the laser device and the target point, and has been proved to be effective for analysis of the displacement of slopes or large construction. The scanning data measured with time difference were analyzed to find any strain by approaches of plane angle change, curvature variation, twist of frame, displacement of merging point, etc. From the analysis, some weak points showing heavily distorted shape were detected, which was used to design the reinforcement.

  • This study has purpose on deducting problems of evacuation plan for vulnerable populations in disaster and suggesting improvement plan through analysis of disaster weakness in domestic rural region aiming at vulnerable populations in disaster like old people containing most of domestic rural population, sometimes being in blind spot of safety when landslide or disaster occur. As a result, we could know that rural regions have high proportion of vulnerable populations in disaster like old people, also being so weak to landslide and slope collapse. So we suggested development of manual describing prevention of disaster and evacuation for vulnerable populations in disaster like old people and disaster evacuation organization for house and minimizing solution for damage of human life through improvement of steep slope evaluation criteria.

  • In this study, an artificial neural network was used to predict stability of weak rock slopes with various discontinuities and underground water conditions. Input data were provided by UDEC analyses on 108 cases of representative conditions of different slope heights, angles, discontinuity angles and water levels. The verification shows high correlation $(r^2-=0.97)$ between analyses and predictions. The program was able to predict safety factors with the same accuracy from unlearned data sets.

  • For reinforcing the overturn of concrete pole instituted in slope ground and weak ground, in this paper, develop the reinforcing installation. The installation increase penetration depth and effect of increasing the penetration depth is verified by experimental paper of Lim, jong suk(2004). In this research, through the experiment of bending test using the reinforcing installation, evaluate the performance. In the result of experiment, concrete pole behave elastically in design load and all sample are safe up to failure load.

  • Limit equilibrium methods of slope stability analysis have been widely adopted mainly due to their simplicity and applicability. However, the conventional methods may not give reliable and convincing results for various geological conditions such as nonhomogeneous and anisotropic soils. Also, they do not take into account soil slope history nor the initial state of stress, for example excavation or fill placement. In contrast to the limit equilibrium analysis, the analysis of deformation and stress distribution by finite element method can deal with the complex loading sequence and the growth of inelastic zone with time. This paper proposes a technique to determine the critical slip surface as well as to calculate the factor of safety for shallow failure on partially saturated soil slope. Based on the effective stress field in finite element analysis, all stresses are estimated at each Gaussian point of elements. The search strategy for a noncircular critical slip surface along weak points is appropriate for rainfall-induced shallow slope failure. The change of unit weight by seepage force has an effect on the horizontal and vertical displacements on the soil slope. The Drucker-Prager failure criterion was adopted for stress-strain relation to calculate coupling hydraulic and mechanical behavior of the partially saturated soil slope.

  • This paper is the results of analysis for the causes and characteristics of landslide according to heavy rain occurred in west area of Gangwon province which is affected by typhoon such as Ewiniar and Bilis in 2006. West side of Gangwon province is topographically weak for the landslide and debris flow since it is covered by soil of weathered rock such as Gneiss and Granite. From the results of analysis for the rainfall characteristics, it was found that landslide occurrence is closely related to the accumulated rainfall amount less than 3 days. Furthermore, it was found that regional difference of occurrence frequency is effected by 1-hour maximum rainfall intensity. From the results of analysis for the landslide data of 860 locations occurred in west side, it was shown that failure mode was changed from transition slide to liquidity slide. Occurrence frequency was high at the slope angle of $20{\sim}30^{\circ}$ slope length of 11~20, and slope width of 6~10. Landslide of west side is the typical landslide of Gneiss and Granite and the type of small scale which has narrow slope width.

  • When filling material such as clay is included along the discontinuity, it may cause instability on a slope even if the direction of discontinuity works in a positive way. In the study area, slope sliding occurred at the boundary between a clay filling material and weathered soil because the physical properties differ across the boundary; and this is very similar to the situation where foliation in a rock works as a weak zone during a structural behavior, causing an inter-layer slip. In most analysis, if there exists a clay filling material, a single discontinuity is assumed to perform analysis. In those cases, the discontinuity is modeled as a slip surface within clay. Therefore, the characteristics of the boundary are not considered in the analysis, so that ultimately the physical property of clay usually prevails. The result of evaluating the slope stability affected by clay filling material shows the significant difference in the safety level due to the strength parameter depending on the failure type of the discontinuity by a filling material.

  • There are a variety of types in tafoni formed in Miocene tuff from Golgulsa, Gyeongju. Tuff bearing tafoni was quite weathered, composed of quartz, feldspars, micas, vermiculite, chlorite, smectite, and analcite. In the early stage of the tafoni development, tafoni preferentially formed from cavities where volcanic breccias were removed or from microcavities where microcrystals were chemically altered. Small tafoni grew into large one by merging each other. The orientation of tafoni is inversely arranged to slopes, with slight inclination toward the inner cavity. Height, width, and depth of tafoni are closely interrelated: the correlation coefficients are 0.839 (width-height), 0.900 (width-depth), and 0.856 (height-depth), respectively. Removal of walls between tafoni resulted in lenticular or crescent forms, and small tafoni laterally combined to large tafoni. Large tafoni is weak because of high porosity and low strength compared to normal slope. Therefore, systematic monitoring for slope strength, pore proportion and volume, and growth of cavity needs to secure the slope stability where tafoni in Golgulsa is widespread.
