Identification of structure parameters is crucial in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) context for activities such as model validation, damage assessment and signal processing of structure response. In this paper, guided waves generated by piezoelectric transducers are used for in-situ and non-destructive structural parameter estimation based on Bayesian approach. As Bayesian approach needs iterative process, which is computationally expensive, this paper proposes a method in which an analytical model is selected and developed in order to decrease computational time and complexity of modeling. An experimental set-up is implemented to estimate three target elastic and geometrical parameters: Young's modulus, Poisson ratio and thickness of aluminum and steel plates. Experimental and simulated data are combined in a Bayesian framework for parameter identification. A significant accuracy is achieved regarding estimation of target parameters with maximum error of 8, 11 and 17 percent respectively. Moreover, the limitation of analytical model concerning boundary reflections is addressed and managed experimentally. Pulse excitation is selected as it can excite the structure in a wide frequency range contrary to conventional tone burst excitation. The results show that the proposed non-destructive method can be used in service for estimation of material and geometrical properties of structure in industrial applications.
Objectives:We investigated the characteristics of P300 generators in obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD) patients by using voxel-based statistical parametric mapping of current density images. Methods:P300 generators, produced by a rare target tone of 1500Hz under a frequent non-target tone of 1,000Hz, were measured in 15 right-handed OCD patients and 15 controls. Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography(LORETA), using a realistic head model of the boundary element method based on individual MRI, was applied to the 128-channel EEG. Statistical parametric mapping(SPM) was applied for the statistical analysis. Results:We found that both groups had the mean current density of P300 in the parietal, temporal and prefrontal lobe. There was a trend for decreased current density in the prefrontal area in OCD patients. The statistical comparison showed current density increase in the supraparietal area, a statistically significant longer P300 latency and a trend for reduced P300 amplitude in OCD patients. Conclusion:It suggests that P300 source of both groups exists in multiple brain regions at the same time. And both groups had no statistically significant differences in the current density of P300 except for increased current density in the supraparietal area in OCD patients. But, considering the statistically significant longer P300 latency, a trend for reduced P300 amplitude and relative mean current density reduction in the prefrontal area in OCD patients, this study suggests that the frontal lobe may have a reduced normal inhibitory process in OCD patients.
본 연구는 대용량 데이터베이스 분석을 통한 한국어의 운을 특성 규명을 시도하였다. 남녀 화자 1명씩 각각 낭독한 650개의 뉴스기사 문장 (총 1,300 개)은 분절음 레이블링과 운율 레이블링을 한 후, 각 운율단위의 성조유형과 크기, 상위운율단위의 크기와 하위 운율단위 수간의 상관관계, 그리고 강세구의 하강곡선과 상승곡선의 기울기와 F0 값에 대한 비교분석을 수행하였다. 운율단위의 지속시간, 어절수, 음절수와 하위 운율단위의 수는 화자뿐만 아니라 운율단위 위치에 따라서 차이를 보였으며 하위 운율단위의 수는 상위 운율단위의 음절수와 지속시간과 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 강세구 내의 하강곡선의 기울기는 강세구 음절수와 반비례 관계를 보였으며 강세구 첫 성조의 유형에 따라 기울기 값에 차이가 있었다. 이 차이는 고성조로 시작한 강세구 성조의 F0 상승과 성조 간 상승 폭의 차이로 설명할 수 있었다. 강세구 경계의 하강곡선은 일정하면서 강세구 내의 하강곡선에 비해 다소 급격한 기울기를 보였다. 강세구 내의 두 상승곡선은 유사한 기지값을 보였으나 강세구 시작 상승곡선의 F0 변화량이 끝 상승곡선의 F0 변화량보다 크게 나타났다. 그리고 하나의 상승곡선이 강세구를 이루는 L Ha의 경우에는 강세구의 음절수에 반비례 관계를 보였다.
The present study investigates the effects of syllable structure and prosodic prominence on the patterns of tonal alignment and scaling of the phrase-initial rise in Seoul Korean. Two syllable structures (Onset (/#CVC.../ as in minsa) vs. No-onset (/#VC.../ as in insa)) and two prominence conditions (Focus vs. Neutral) were considered. Results showed that the alignment of the L and the H tones in the phrase-initial rise was affected by syllable structure but not by prominence. The time of L was before the vowel onset of the first syllable in the Onset condition (i.e., within the onset consonant) and it was after the vowel onset in the No-onset condition. The difference was attributable to the fact that the initial L was anchored at a fixed distance from the phrase boundary, which was about 30ms after the onset of the syllable in both cases. The time of H was also consistently observed about 20ms after the second vowel onset (i.e., /a/ in minsa/insa). Moreover, the rise time (the duration from the L to the H tones) was longer as the local syllable duration became longer due to different syllable structure and prominence conditions. Taken together, the results provide a support for the segmental anchoring hypothesis, which claims that both the beginning and the end of F0 movement are consistently aligned with segmental 'anchor' points with relatively high stability (Ladd et al., 1999). Results also showed that the scaling of the early rise was slightly influenced by syllable structure but not by prominence. The differences between the results of the current study and a previous study (Cho, 2011) are further discussed.
Brain tumors or gliomas are fatal cancer species with high recurrence rates due to their strong invasiveness. Therefore, the goal of surgery is complete tumor resection. However, the surgery is difficult to distinguish the border because tumors and blood vessels have the same color tone and shape. The fluorescein sodium is used as a fluorescence contrast agent for boundary separation. When the external light source is irradiated, yellow fluorescence is expressed in the tumor, which helps distinguish between blood vessels and tumor boundaries. But, the fluorescence expression of fluorescence sodium depends on the concentration of fluorescein sodium and such analytical data is insufficient. The unclear fluorescence can obscure the boundaries between blood vessels and tumors. In addition, reduce the efficiency of fluorescence sodium use. This paper proposes a protocol of concentration range for fluorescence expression conditions. Fluorescent expression was observed using a near-infrared (NIR) color camera with corresponding dilution using normal saline in 1 ml microtube. The flunoresence emission density range is 1.00 mM to 0.15 mM. The fluorescence emission begin to 1.00 mM and the 0.15 mM discolor. The discolor is difficult to fluorescence emission condition obserbation. Thus, the maximum density range of the bright fluoresecein is 0.15 mM to 0.30 mM. When the concentration range of fluorescein sodium is analyzed based on the gradient of fluorescence expression and the power measurement, the brightest fluorescence is expected to facilitate the complete resection of the tumor. For the concentration range protocol, setting concentration ranges and analyzing fluorescence expression image according to saturation and brightness to find optimal fluorescence concentration are important. Concentration range protocols for fluorescence expression conditions can be used to find optimal concentrations of substances whose expression pattern varies with concentration ranges. This study is expected to be helpful in the boundary classification and resection of brain tumors and glioma.
본 논문은 중국인 한국어학습자들이 발화한 한국어 동형다의 종결어미 '-(으)ㄹ 걸' 대한 한국어 원어민화자들의 지각양상을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'의 청지각적 의미 변별에 결정적인 역할을 하는 운율변수를 한국어 교육적 관점에서 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 동형다의 종결어미는 하나의 형태로 두 개 이상의 의미를 전달하는 종결어미를 일컫는다. 지금까지 외국인학습자들을 대상으로 한 동형다의 종결어미에 대한 연구는 외국인학습자들의 발화문을 원어민 화자의 발화문과 비교·분석하여 음운론적·음성학적 유사점과 차이점을 분석하여 발화정확도나 오류유형을 측정하는 데 집중되었다. 이로 인해 원어민화자와의 유사성과 차이점이 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'의 의미 판별에 실제로 유의미한 작용을 하는지에 대한 청지각적 연구는 이루어지지 못했다. 본 연구에서는 중국인 한국어학습자들의 동형다의 종결어미 문장이 한국어 원어민화자들에게 어떤 양상으로 지각되는지 분석하여 동형다의 종결어미 억양교육에 필요한 운율 규범을 상정해 보고자 한다. 본 연구의 실험자료 산출에는 한국어 숙달도 중·고급에 해당하는 10명의 중국인 한국어학습자들이, 지각 실험에는 20대의 한국인 원어민화자들이 참가하였다. 분석 자료는 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'이 추측으로 사용된 두 문장과 후회로 사용된 두 문장이다. 10명의 중국인화자들이 4개의 실험문장을 4회 반복 발화분이 지각실험 자료로 사용되었다. 지각실험참가자들은 실험 자료를 들으면서 문장 경계성조의 억양에만 의존하여 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'의 의미와 정확성 정도를 판별하였다. 25명의 청취실험자들의 지각실험 결과를 바탕으로 정확한 추측, 추측, 모호함, 후회, 정확한 후회로 지각된 문장들의 운율변수, 즉 경계성조, 경계성조의 기울기, 경계음절과 선행음절 간 피치편차, 경계음절의 피치레벨을 측정하였다. 통계분석 결과 상기된 모든 운율변수가 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'의 의미변별과 유의미한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 즉 운율변수가 커질수록 추측으로 작아질수록 후회문장으로 지각됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 의미변별에 가장 핵심적인 역할을 수행하는 운율변수는 피치편차임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 '(으)ㄹ 걸'의 발화에서 마지막 두 음절의 피치 조절로 두 의미를 변별하여 발화할 수 있음을 의미하며 '-(으)ㄹ 걸'의 억양교육에서 보다 객관적이고 유의미한 규범적 운율 요소로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
Background: The composition of wild bird populations in temperate zones greatly varies depending on phenological changes rather than other environmental factors. Particularly, wild birds appearing in wetlands fluctuate greatly due to the crossover of species arriving for breeding during the summer and for wintering. Therefore, to understand the changes to species composition related to phenology, we conducted this basic analysis of populations to further the cause of the protection of wetland-dependent wild birds. Methods: It is wrong to simply divide a wild bird population investigation into seasons. This study identifies species composition and indicator species that change along with seasons. Wetlands to be surveyed are protected by natural monuments and wetland inventory and are in a state close to nature. In order to identify as many species as possible in wetlands, a survey was conducted in both shallow and deep wetlands. The water depth varied in these areas, ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 m, allowing for both dabbling and diving ducks to inhabit the area. Surveys were conducted using line-transect and distance sampling methods and were conducted at intervals of 2 weeks. The survey was conducted under the following three categories: the eco-tone and emergent zone, the submergent zone, and the water surface. The survey was conducted along a wetland boundary by observing wild birds. A PC-ord program was used for clustering, and the SAS program was used to analyze the changes in species composition. The data strongly indicates that day length is the main factor for seasonal migration periods, despite the fact that climate change and increasing temperatures are often discussed. Results and conclusions: The indicator species for determining seasons include migrant birds such as Ardea cinerea, Alcedo atthis, Anas penelope, and Poiceps ruficollis, as well as resident birds such as Streptopelia orientalis and Emberiza elegans. Importantly, increases in local individual counts of these species may also serve as indicators. The survey results of seasonal fluctuations in temperate zones shows that spring (April to June), summer (July to September), autumn (October), and winter (November to March) are clearly distinguishable, even though spring and summer seasons tend to overlap, leading to the conclusion that additional research could more clearly identify fluctuation patterns in species composition and abundance in the study area.
인간 거주의 오랜 역사와 완충적인 지정학적 위치에 따른 한국 문화의 통시적 역동성과 공시적 다양성은 한국 지명의 이중성과 중층적 다양성에 중요한 배경과 원인이 되어 왔다. 이러한 한국 지명의 변동 과정은 상이한 사회적 주체들이 문화의 의미를 둘러싸고 벌이는 갈등과 경합의 권력 관계를 연구하는 문화정치학 분야에 비교적 적절한 연구 대상으로 주목된다. 한국 지명에 대한 문화정치적 연구의 당위성을 확보하기 위하여, 본 연구는 장소 아이덴티티, 영역 경합, 스케일 정치라는 개념을 중심으로 한국 지명의 문화정치적 연구를 위한 이론의 구성을 시도하였다. 지명은 자연과 사회적 주체를 지칭하며 이들의 아이덴티티를 재현하는 과정을 분석하는데 유용한 이론으로서 안게른과 카스텔스의 아이덴티티 이론, 페쇠의 동일시 이론, 홀의 디코딩 이론, 볼로쉬노프(바흐찐)의 이데올로기적 기호 이론이 사례를 통하여 실험되었다. 사회적 주체의 아이덴티티와 이데올로기를 재현하는 지명을 매개로 장소 아이덴티티 내지는 영역적 아이덴티티가 구축되는 과정에는 필연적으로 포함과 배제의 권력 관계가 개입되어 있다. 이러한 과정을 분석하기 위해서는 아이덴티티, 이데올로기, 권력 관계라는 요소들을 반드시 고려해야하므로, 경계, 영역, 영역성, 영역화, 영역적 아이덴티티 등과 같은 개념을 포용하는 스케일 정치라는 관점을 약간의 사례에 실험적으로 적용해 보았다. 끝으로, 본 연구는 다양한 문화정치이론을 토대로 일정한 범위의 지역을 단위로 하는 기초적이고 학제적인 지명 연구를 통해 지명의 문화정치적 사례가 연구되어야 함을 제안하였다.
The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times.

The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70
