This paper considers the solution of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with random operator and/or random excitation using the spectral SFEM. The random system parameters (involved in the operator) and the random excitations are modeled as second order stochastic processes defined only by their means and covariance functions. All random fields dealt with in this paper are continuous and do not have known explicit forms dependent on the spatial dimension. This fact makes the usage of the finite element (FE) analysis be difficult. Relying on the spectral properties of the covariance function, the Karhunen-Loeve expansion is used to represent these processes to overcome this difficulty. Then, a spectral approximation for the stochastic response (solution) of the SDE is obtained based on the implementation of the concept of generalized inverse defined by the Neumann expansion. This leads to an explicit expression for the solution process as a multivariate polynomial functional of a set of uncorrelated random variables that enables us to compute the statistical moments of the solution vector. To check the validity of this method, two applications are introduced which are, randomly loaded simply supported reinforced concrete beam and reinforced concrete cantilever beam with random bending rigidity. Finally, a more general application, randomly loaded simply supported reinforced concrete beam with random bending rigidity, is presented to illustrate the method.

This paper presents a methodology through which the time series of the dynamic response of mooring line tension can be predicted without relying on a time-consuming nonlinear time-domain analysis. The mooring line tension for the target short-term sea states was predicted using a Hammerstein-Wiener model, a popular system identification scheme, based upon the pre-calculated motion-tension time history data for some selected short-term sea states that do not overlap with the targeted ones. The obtained mooring line tension was further processed, and a fatigue damage comparison was made between the predicted and calculated values. The results showed that the predicted time series of the mooring line tension matched the calculated one fairly well. Thus, it is expected that the methodology may be employed to enhance the efficiency of mooring line tension analysis.

In this study, we conduct linear and nonlinear modeling of the DC motor driving system of a wheeled mobile robot, which is a nonlinear system involving dead zone, friction, and saturation. The DC motor driving system consists of a DC motor, a wheel, and gears. A linear DC motor driving system is modeled using a steady-state response and parameter measurements. A nonlinear DC motor driving model is identified with the use of the Hammerstein-Wiener method. By using these models, PID controllers for the DC motor system are then established. Each PID controller is applied as a low-level controller in order to achieve posture stabilization control for the real mobile robot. We also compare the performance of the proposed PID controllers in posture stabilization experiments by using several different final robot postures.

본 논문에서는 보청기의 음향궤환 및 잡음을 제거하기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 기존의 FIR 구조를 이용하는 대신 신경망 적응예측필터를 이용한 심층학습 알고리즘으로 궤환 및 잡음제거 성능을 향상시킨다. 먼저 궤환제거기가 마이크 신호에서 궤환신호를 제거하고, 이어서 Wiener 필터기법을 이용하여 잡음을 제거한다. 잡음 제거는 음성신호가 가진 주기적 성질에 따라 선형예측모델을 이용하여 잡음이 포함된 음성신호로부터 음성을 추정해내는 것이다. 한 루프 안에 포함된 두 적응 시스템의 안정적 수렴을 보장하기 위해 궤환제거기 및 잡음제거기의 계수 업데이트를 분리하여 실시하며 제거 후 생성된 잔차신호를 이용하여 수렴시키는 과정을 진행한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 궤환 및 잡음제거기의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 작성하고 모의실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 심층학습 알고리즘을 사용하면 기존의 FIR 구조를 사용하는 경우보다 궤환제거기에서 약 10 dB의 SFR(: Signal to Feedback Ratio), 잡음제거기에서 약 3 dB의 SNRE(: Signal to Noise Ratio Enhancement) 개선효과를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Noise is a serious issue. While sending images via electronic communication, Impulse noise, which is created by unsteady voltage, is one of the most common noises in digital communication. During the acquisition process, pictures were collected. It is possible to obtain accurate diagnosis images by removing these noises without affecting the edges and tiny features. The New Average High Noise Density Median Filter. (HNDMF) was proposed in this paper, and it operates in two steps for each pixel. Filter can decide whether the test pixels is degraded by SPN. In the first stage, a detector identifies corrupted pixels, in the second stage, an algorithm replaced by noise free processed pixel, the New average suggested Filter produced for this window. The paper examines the performance of Gaussian Filter (GF), Adaptive Median Filter (AMF), and PHDNF. In this paper the comparison of known image denoising is discussed and a new decision based weighted median filter used to remove impulse noise. Using Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structure Similarity Index Method (SSIM) metrics, the paper examines the performance of Gaussian Filter (GF), Adaptive Median Filter (AMF), and PHDNF. A detailed simulation process is performed to ensure the betterment of the presented model on the Mini-MIAS dataset. The obtained experimental values stated that the HNDMF model has reached to a better performance with the maximum picture quality. images affected by various amounts of pretend salt and paper noise, as well as speckle noise, are calculated and provided as experimental results. According to quality metrics, the HNDMF Method produces a superior result than the existing filter method. Accurately detect and replace salt and pepper noise pixel values with mean and median value in images. The proposed method is to improve the median filter with a significant change.

Background: Ecologists have achieved much progress in the study of mechanisms that maintain species coexistence and diversity. In this paper, we reviewed a wide range of past research related to these topics, focusing on five theoretical bodies: (1) coexistence by niche differentiation, (2) coexistence without niche differentiation, (3) coexistence along environmental stress gradients, (4) coexistence under non-equilibrium versus equilibrium conditions, and (5) modern perspectives. Results: From the review, we identified that there are few models that can be generally and confidently applicable to different ecological systems. This problem arises mainly because most theories have not been substantiated by enough empirical research based on field data to test various coexistence hypotheses at different spatial scales. We also found that little is still known about the mechanisms of species coexistence under harsh environmental conditions. This is because most previous models treat disturbance as a key factor shaping community structure, but they do not explicitly deal with stressful systems with non-lethal conditions. We evaluated the mainstream ideas of niche differentiation and stochasticity for the coexistence of plant species across salt marsh creeks in southwestern Denmark. The results showed that diversity indices, such as Shannon-Wiener diversity, richness, and evenness, decreased with increasing surface elevation and increased with increasing niche overlap and niche breadth. The two niche parameters linearly decreased with increasing elevation. These findings imply a substantial influence of an equalizing mechanism that reduces differences in relative fitness among species in the highly stressful environments of the marsh. We propose that species evenness increases under very harsh conditions if the associated stress is not lethal. Finally, we present a conceptual model of patterns related to the level of environmental stress and niche characteristics along a microhabitat gradient (i.e., surface elevation). Conclusions: The ecology of stressful systems with non-lethal conditions will be increasingly important as ongoing global-scale climate change extends the period of chronic stresses that are not necessarily fatal to inhabiting plants. We recommend that more ecologists continue this line of research.

Abstract- In distant-talking environments, speech recognition performance degrades significantly due to noise and reverberation. Recent work of Michael L. Selzer shows that in microphone array speech recognition, the word error rate can be significantly reduced by adapting the beamformer weights to generate a sequence of features which maximizes the likelihood of the correct hypothesis. In this approach, called Likelihood Maximizing Beamforming algorithm (Limabeam), one of the method to implement this Limabeam is an UnSupervised Limabeam(USL) that can improve recognition performance in any situation of environment. From our investigation for this USL, we could see that because the performance of optimization depends strongly on the transcription output of the first recognition step, the output become unstable and this may lead lower performance. In order to improve recognition performance of USL, some post-filter techniques can be employed to obtain more correct transcription output of the first step. In this work, as a post-filtering technique for first recognition step of USL, we propose to add a Wiener-Filter combined with Feature Weighted Malahanobis Distance to improve recognition performance. We also suggest an alternative way to implement Limabeam algorithm for Hidden Markov Network (HM-Net) speech recognizer for efficient implementation. Speech recognition experiments performed in real distant-talking environment confirm the efficacy of Limabeam algorithm in HM-Net speech recognition system and also confirm the improved performance by the proposed method.

고성능 영상 장비의 대중화와 강력한 이미지 편집 소프트웨어의 출현으로 인해 지폐 및 유가 증권 등을 고품질로 위변조가 가능해졌다. 특히 컬러 레이저 프린터의 범용화로 인하여 화폐 위변조 범죄는 급격히 증가하고 있지만, 일반인이 이를 판별하는 비율은 낮은 수준이며 판별 기기도 고가이다. 본 연구에서는 범용 스캐너와 컴퓨터 시스템을 활용하여 화폐의 위변조를 탐지하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 지폐의 인쇄방식과 다른 컬러 프린터의 인쇄 특징을 계산하기 위하여 모폴로지 기술과 명암도 동시 발생 행렬을 활용하였다. 그 후 계산된 특징들을 지도학습 모델 분류기에 적용하여 훈련을 시켰다. 이렇게 훈련된 분류기에 판별을 위한 지폐를 입력하고 위변조 여부에 대한 분석을 수행한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 위변조 지폐의 판별률과 인쇄에 사용한 프린터의 판별률로 나누어 평가를 하였다. 또한 기존의 컬러 프린터 판별에 사용되었던 위너필터를 사용한 기술과 비교를 수행하였다. 그 결과 제안한 알고리즘이 위변조 지폐 식별에 있어서 91.92%, 위변조기기의 식별에 있어서 94.5% 이상 정확도를 보여 기존 컬러 프린터의 특징 추출 방법을 활용한 것보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
