This study was designed to investigate fast ab/adduction rate of articulation valves in normal adults. The measurement of fast ab/aduction rate has traditionally been used for assessment, diagnosis and therapy in patients who suffered from dysarthria, functional articulation disorders or apraxia of speech. Fast ab/adduction rate shows the documented structural and physiological changes in the central nervous system and the peripheral components of oral and speech production mechanism. Fast ab/adduction rates were obtained from 20 normal subjects by producing the repetition of vocal function (/ihi/), tongue function (/t${\wedge}$/), velopharyngeal function (/m/), and labial function (/p${\wedge}$/). The Aerophone II was used for data recording. The results of finding as follows: average fast ab/adduction rates were vocal function(6.21cps), tongue function(7.42cps), velopharyngeal function(5.23cps), labial function (6.93cps). The results of this study are guidelines of normal diadochokinetic rates. In addition, they can indicate the severity of diseases and evaluation of treatment.

In this paper, we measured voice packet loss over the Korean Internet and analyzed percentage articulation by variation of the packet loss. To do this, we reviewed real-time transmission service based on RTP/UDP/IP and test method of the transmission quality. and implemented the real-time speech transmission system using GSM and UDP/IP. Monosyllable list has been chosen for the percentage articulation test, each voice packet has been coded and compressed by GSM and it has sequence number to measured packet loss and to recover out-of-order packets. In transmission results using seven router over the Korean Internet, we have show that loss rates reached 1.6% (unload), 22.5%(load) and loss rates after packet recovery by resequencing and FEC are from 9% to 35%. Finally, we have shown that percentage articulations by variation of the network traffic are Table 4.

Although improper integrals constitute a concept of great utility for Mathematics students, it appears that students are unable to assimilate this concept within the wider system of concepts they learn in their first year of Mathematics studies. In this paper we describe a competence model used in a study about the kind of understanding students possess about improper integral calculus when two registers of representation come into play. Competence will be considered as the coherent articulation of different semiotic registers. After analysing the results of a questionnaire, six students were selected to be interviewed on the basis of their overall results and the significance of their answers. For the interview, five original questions from the questionnaire were used together with a new question. In this article we will analyse, from our theoretical point of view, the work carried out by one student who was interviewed to show how our competence model works and we will discuss this formal competence model used.

We present a statistical analysis of Korean phonological variations using automatic generation of phonetic transcription. We have constructed the automatic generation system of Korean pronunciation variants by applying rules modeling obligatory and optional phonemic changes and allophonic changes. These rules are derived from knowledge-based morphophonological analysis and government standard pronunciation rules. This system is optimized for continuous speech recognition by generating phonetic transcriptions for training and constructing a pronunciation dictionary for recognition. In this paper, we describe Korean phonological variations by analyzing the statistics of phonemic change rule applications for the 60,000 sentences in the Samsung PBS(Phonetic Balanced Sentence) Speech DB. Our results show that the most frequently happening obligatory phonemic variations are in the order of liaison, tensification, aspirationalization, and nasalization of obstruent, and that the most frequently happening optional phonemic variations are in the order of initial consonant h-deletion, insertion of final consonant with the same place of articulation as the next consonants, and deletion of final consonant with the same place of articulation as the next consonants. These statistics can be used for improving the performance of speech recognition systems.

Wind and wave loadings have a predominant role in the design of offshore structures in general, and articulated tower in particular for a successful service and survival during normal and extreme environmental conditions. Such towers are very sensitive to the dynamic effects of wind and wind generated waves. The exposed superstructure is subjected to aerodynamic loads while the submerged substructure is subjected to hydrodynamic loads. Articulated towers are designed such that their fundamental frequency is well below the wave frequency to avoid dynamic amplification. Dynamic interaction of these towers with environmental loads (wind, waves and currents) acts to impart a lesser overall shear and overturning moment due to compliance to such forces. This compliancy introduces geometric nonlinearity due to large displacements, which becomes an important consideration in the analysis of articulated towers. Prediction of the nonlinear behaviour of these towers in the harsh ocean environment is difficult. However, simplified realistic mathematical models are employed to gain an important insight into the problem and to explore the dynamic behaviour. In this paper, various modeling approaches and solution methods for articulated towers adopted by past researchers are reviewed. Besides, reliability of articulation system, the paper also discussed the design, installation and performance of articulated towers around the world oceans.

The wide spread of internet business recently necessitates recommendation systems which can recommend the most suitable product fur customer demands. Currently the recommendation systems use content-based filtering and/or collaborative filtering methods, which are unable both to explain the reason for the recommendation and to reflect constantly changing requirements of the users. These methods guarantee good efficiency only if there is a lot of information about users. This paper proposes an algorithm called 'demand articulate & integration' which can perceive user's continuously varying intents and recommend proper contents. A method of knowledge classification which can be applicable to this algorithm is also developed in order to disassemble knowledge into basic units and articulate indices. The algorithm provides recommendation outputs that are close to expert's opinion through the tracing of articulate index. As a case study, a knowledge base for heritage information is constructed with the expert guide's knowledge. An intelligent recommendation system that can guide heritage tour as good as the expert guider is developed.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 네트워크에서 적응력 있는(adaptive) 분산형 시스템 레벨 결함 진단을 위한 분할 기법을 제안한다. 적응력 있는 분산형 시스템 레벨 결함 진단 기법에서는 시스템의 형상이 변경될 때마다 시험 할당 알고리즘이 수행되므로 적응력 없는 결함 진단 기법에 비하여 결함 감지를 위한 시험의 갯수를 줄일 수 있다. 기존의 시험 할당 알고리즘들은 전체 시스템을 대상으로 하는 비분할(non-partitioning) 방식을 이용하였는데, 이 기법은 불필요한 과다한 메시지를 생성한다. 본 논문에서는 전체 시스템을 이중 연결 요소(biconnected component) 단위로 분할한 후, 시험 할당은 각 이중 연결 요소 내에서 수행한다. 이중 연결 요소의 관절점(articulation point)의 특성을 이용하여 각 시험 할당에 필요한 노드의 수를 줄임으로서, 비분할 기법들에 비해 초기 시험 할당에 필요한 메시지의 수를 감소시켰다. 또한 결함이 발생한 경우나 복구가 완료된 경우의 시험 재 할당은 직접 영향을 받는 이중 연결 요소내로 국지화(localize) 시켰다. 본 논문의 시스템 레벨 결함 진단 기법의 정확성을 증명하였으며, 기존 비분할 방식의 시스템 레벨 결함 진단 기법과의 성능 분석을 수행하였다.Abstract We propose an adaptive distributed system-level diagnosis using partitioning method in arbitrary network topologies. In an adaptive distributed system-level diagnosis, testing assignment algorithm is performed whenever the system configuration is changed to reduce the number of tests in the system. Existing testing assignment algorithms adopt a non-partitioning approach covering the whole system, so they incur unnecessary extra message traffic and time. In our method, the whole system is partitioned into biconnected components, and testing assignment is performed within each biconnected component. By exploiting the property of an articulation point of a biconnected component, initial testing assignment of our method performs better than non-partitioning approach by reducing the number of nodes involved in testing assignment. It also localizes the testing reassignment caused by system reconfiguration within the related biconnected components. We show that our system-level diagnosis method is correct and analyze the performance of our method compared with the previous non-partitioning ones.

The speech transmission quality in telephone is quantified in terms of loudness rating, but this method has been validated only for the handset telephony. The transmission quality of loudspeaking telephony in any room must be evaluated not only with speech transmission but also with background noise, echo and reverberation since the effect of room acoustics is much stroger for loudspeaking telephoy. Therefore, it requires a better approach to specify the quality of loudspeaking telephony. By calcuating the speech transmission index (STI), a physical method for measuring the quality of speech transmission was proposed by Steeneken. In this paper, the application of a STI method for estimating articulation of loudspeaking telephony was discussed. And the STI measurement system with high speed calculation was also three rooms, having different reverberation times. The result show that the STI decreases as the reverberation time of rooms increases. It suggests that speech transmission index method can be useful evaluating articulation of a loudspeaking telephony including the sound field characteristics.

Although it is ideal that the sound with the range of 20 ~ 20,000 Hz is produced by the loudspeaker system composing of only one loudspeaker unit, it is almost impossible now. Therefore, the audible frequency range is now produced by the loudspeaker system, which is consisted of more than two loudspeaker units. The multi-way loudspeaker system certainly requires a crossover filter, which is divided the audible frequency into low and high frequency ranges. The crossover frequency of filter usually is in the range of 1 ~ 4 kHz, the frequency range can largely affect to the sound articulation and quality. It is an example that the phase and amplitude at the crossover frequency can be different from each other, due to the variously reasons. Conversely, they can not produce the smooth frequency response due to the different distance between the two loudspeaker units and electrical properties. As a result, the sound articulation and quality can be degraded. Therefore, the phase and amplitude response at the crossover frequency has to be deeply considered, in order to exactly match the woofer and tweeter. In this study, it is proposed the methods which are the flat frequency and phase response to be obtained by adjusting of the delay time between loudspeaker units, and the choice of filter to be considered the roll-off properties of each unit. It is achieved the frequency response with ${\pm}1$ dB, and the sound articulation is also improved.

The latest trend in the automotive industry demands the development of high stiffness car bodies and the securement of inter-system performance for low vibration and noise vehicles. This demand, however, conflicts with need for light weight design and greater fuel efficiency, thus raising the importance of optimization design to satisfy both developmental goals. We chose two European medium sedans, which has gasoline engine and diesel one, to elucidate the noise characteristics of diesel passenger cars, whose sales have been increasing in both Korea and Europe. In the present study a systematic experiment was conducted to analyze the noise characteristics in diesel cars. we made it possible for differentiating car management according to customer demand while allowing for improved commercial feasibility. it was possible to improve interior noise by 2 dB(A) on average sound pressure level. As a result, by 4% higher on articulation index(AI).
