The Soya Warm Current (SWC) is a coastal boundary current, which flows along the coast of Hokkaido in the Sea of Okhotsk. Seasonal and subinertial variations in the SWC are investigated using data obtained by high-frequency (HF) ocean radars, coastal tide gauges, and a bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The HF radars clearly capture the seasonal variations in the surface current fields of the SWC. The velocity of the SWC reaches its maximum, approximately 1 m/s, in the summer, and becomes weaker in the winter. The velocity core is located 20 to 30 km from the coast, and its width is approximately 50 km. The almost same seasonal cycle was repeated in the period from August 2003 to March 2007. In addition to the annual variation, the SWC exhibits subinertial variations with a period from 10-15 days. The surface transport by the SWC shows a significant correlation with the sea level difference between the Sea of Japan and Sea of Okhotsk for both of the seasonal and subinertial variations, indicating that the SWC is driven by the sea level difference between the two seas. Generation mechanism of the subinertial variation is discussed using wind data from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses. The subinertial variations in the SWC are significantly correlated with the meridional wind component over the region. The subinertial variations in the sea level difference and surface current delay from the meridional wind variations for one or two days. Continental shelf waves triggered by the meridional wind on the east coast of Sakhalin and west coast of Hokkaido are considered to be a possible generation mechanism for the subinertial variations in the SWC.

본 연구에서는 화학 기계 연마(CMP) 공정 중 발생하는 다양한 영역대의 신호를 분석하기 위하여 음향 방출 센서(AE)를 이용하였다. 특히 음향 방출 센서는 공정 중 발생하는 기계적 소음을 전기적 신호로 변환하기 용이하며, 특히 고주파 영역대의 신호를 감지하기에 용이하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 CMP 장비에 음향 방출 센서를 부착하여 CMP 공정 중 발생하는 신호를 동시에 획득하였다. 본 음향 방출 모니터링 시스템은 CMP 공정 조건 변화 및 패드, 슬러리, 웨이퍼와 같은 소모재의 변화에 따른 신호분석을 하기 위해 제작 되었다. 본 연구에서는 산화막 웨이퍼와 구리막 웨이퍼에 본 시스템을 적용하였다. 음향 방출 센서로 획득한 신호로 Raw 신호 분석, 주파수 분석, 진폭 분석을 통해서 CMP 공정중 발생하는 현상을 분석하였다. 최종적으로 다양한 대역폭의 신호를 음향 방출 센서로 획득하여 CMP 공정 모니터링이 가능함을 확인하고자 하였다.

The present study aimed to investigate the changes of acoustic parameters of the aspirated voice in stroke patients. The eighty-eight subjects diagnosed with cerebro-vascular accident were divided into 32 penetration/aspiration (P/A) and 56 Non-P/A groups according to the videofluroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) results, and 26 control subjects participated. All subjects preformed VFSS and vowel /a/ was recorded three times pre- and post VFSS. Since the variation in the acoustic parameters within a single phonation has been observed, we proposed a delta formula for the acoustic parameters which can reflect the temporal changes of the each parameter in an utterance. We measured from the voice data eight acoustic parameters: fundamental frequency (F0), standard deviation of F0 (F0_SD), Jitter, relative average perturbation (RAP), Shimmer, amplitude perturbation quotient (APQ), harmonic to noise ration (HNR), noise to harmonic ratio (NHR). Then we found parameters which show the meaningful biggest temporal change in an utterance using the suggested delta parameter. Among them, the deltas of shimmer and APQ were significantly different pre- and post VFSS. These deltas of the P/A and the control group were increased after VFSS, while those of the Non-P/A group was descended. The variation patterns of the P/A and the control group were similar but the change width of the P/A group was larger. The large variations in an aspirated phonation of the P/A group are thought to be caused by irregular changes in air resistance due to residual food on the vocal cords.

The purpose of this study is to materialize the viscosity sensor by using the SH-SAW sensor of which the center frequency is operated at higher than 50 MHz. In order to measure the viscosity, SAW sensor of which the center frequency is operated at 100 MHz is developed. By using the developed sensor, phase shift, delay time, insertion loss, and frequency variation are measured at different viscosity. The result shows that the phase shift difference between the viscosity variations is such that the difference between the distilled water and the 100 % glycerol solution is approximately $45^{\circ}$, the change of the insertion loss is approximately 9 dB, and the difference of frequency variation is approximately 5.9 MHz. Therefore, it is shown that viscosity of unknown solution can be measured with the surface acoustic wave sensor.

Many previous studies reported acoustic parameters of English vowels produced by a clear speaking style. In everyday usage, we actually produce speech sounds with various speaking styles. Different styles may yield different acoustic measurements. This study attempts to examine pitch and formant trajectories of eleven English vowels produced by nine American males in order to understand acoustic variations depending on clear and conversational speaking styles. The author used Praat to obtain trajectories systematically at seven equidistant time points over the vowel segment while checking measurement validity. Results showed that pitch trajectories indicated distinct patterns depending on four speaking styles. Generally, higher pitch values were observed in the higher vowels and the pitch was higher in the clear speaking styles than that in the conversational styles. The same trend was observed in the three formant trajectories of front vowels and the first formant trajectories of back vowels. The second and third trajectories of back vowels revealed an opposite or inconsistent trend, which might be attributable to the coarticulation of the following consonant or lip rounding gestures. The author made a tentative conclusion that people tend to produce vowels to enhance pitch and formant differences to transmit their information clearly. Further perceptual studies on synthesized vowels with varying pitch and formant values are desirable to address the conclusion.

제어용 스피커 및 검출용 마이크로폰 등 트랜스듀서들의 위치는 능동 소음제어 시스템의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 능동 소음제어 시스템의 음향 특성이 매우 복잡하고, 유체 밀도, 복소 전파계수 등 음향 파라미터들의 값을 실제 적용 시에는 알 수 없는 경우가 많아 트랜스듀서들의 위치가 능동 소음제어 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 해석적으로 구하기는 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 트랜스듀서들 간의 전달함수들을 중첩의 원리를 이용하여 유도하였으며, 트랜스듀서들 간의 거리가 능동 소음제어 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 연구하였다. 단일극 시스템은 소음원과 제어 음원 사이의 거리에 영향을 받으며, 이중극 시스템은 두 제어 음원 사이의 거리와 소음원과 1차 제어 음원 사이의 거리에 많은 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the well-known non-destructive acoustic emission (AE) and electrical resistivity methods were employed to predict quantitative damage in the silo structure of the Wolsong Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Center (WLDC), Gyeongju, South Korea. Brazilian tensile test was conducted with a fully saturated specimen with a composition identical to that of the WLDC silo concrete. Bi-axial strain gauges, AE sensors, and electrodes were attached to the surface of the specimen to monitor changes. Both the AE hit and electrical resistance values helped in the anticipation of imminent specimen failure, which was further confirmed using a strain gauge. The quantitative damage (or damage variable) was defined according to the AE hits and electrical resistance and analyzed with stress ratio variations. Approximately 75% of the damage occurred when the stress ratio exceeded 0.5. Quantitative damage from AE hits and electrical resistance showed a good correlation (R = 0.988, RMSE = 0.044). This implies that AE and electrical resistivity can be complementarily used for damage assessment of the structure. In future, damage to dry and heated specimens will be examined using AE hits and electrical resistance, and the results will be compared with those from this study.

수중 음향 다중경로 채널에서 수중음향 통신 시스템의 성능은 채널의 시변적 경계면 상태 변동에 의해 영향을 받는다. 이러한 채널에서 시공간적 변동에 의해 송신 신호와 수신 신호의 위상과 주파수가 일치하지 않아 반송 주파수 옵셋이 발생되고 위상편이키잉 방식의 수중음향통신시스템의 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 수중 음향 통신 채널의 시 공간적 변동 채널에서 위상 코드를 적용한 반송 주파수 옵셋 보상 추정 기법의 성능을 평가하였다. 위상 코드는 주파수 옵셋을 추정하고 보상하기 위한 코드로 CAZAC를 적용하였으며, 실내 수조에서 성능을 평가하였다. QPSK 시스템에 위상코드를 적용한 결과는 적용하지 않은 경우보다 약 4-6배 비트오류율이 개선되었다.

In this paper, characteristics of Acoustic Emission in Low Density Polyethylene were studied from tree initiation to breakdown under long-term inhomogeneous alternative electrical field. The voltage levels used were 9, 11 and 14[kV]. Especially, a newly developed automatic measuring system was used to measure time variations of AE average amplitude, AE pulse number, AE pulse distribution patterns due to polarities. The patterns wer specially the variated patterns, when tree propagated. Also, parameters for dielectric breakdown prediction, which were suggested by Okamoto, were calculated. The result was analysed by tree shapes and partial discharge activities in tree due to tree initiation and propagation.

The flow structure inside the intake head greatly affects the working efficiency of a vacuum cleaner such as suction power and aero-acoustic noise. In this study, the flow inside intake heads of a vacuum cleaner was investigated using qualitative flow visualization and quantitative PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) techniques. The aerodynamic power, suction efficiency and noise level of the intake heads were also measured. In order to improve the performance of the vacuum cleaner, inner structure of the flow paths of the intake head, such as trench height and shape of connection chamber were modified. The flow structures of modified intake heads were compared with that of the original intake head. The aero-acoustic noise caused by flow separation was reduced and the suction efficiency was also changed due to flow path modification of intake head. In this paper, the variations of flow fields for different intake heads are presented and discussed together with results of aerodynamic power, suction efficiency and noise level.
