This paper addresses the wavelet fuzzy modeling using Virus-Evolutionary Genetic Algorithm (VEGA). We build a fuzzy system model which is equivalent to the wavelet transform after identifying the coefficients of wavelet transform. We can obtain an accurate system model with a small number of coefficients due to the energy compaction property of the wavelet transform. It thus means that we can construct a fuzzy system model with a small number of rules. In order to identify the wide-ranged coefficients of the wavelet transform, VEGA is adopted, which has prominent ability to avoid premature local convergence that is suitable to complex optimization problems. We demonstrate the superiority of our proposed fuzzy system modeling method over the previous results by modeling nonlinear function.

The objective of this paper was the development of boards made from waste newspapers. The boards were produced from particle ONP(old newspaper) to reduce energy consumption in the board production process. ONP boards bonded with polyurethan adhesives(PU) were produced on a laboratory scale, and their physical and mechanical properties were examined. The average density of the ONP was $0.48g/cm^3$, and the densities of the boards were $0.50-0.90g/cm^3$. Therefore, th compaction ratios of the boards were in the range of 1.04-1.88. The results obtained were as follows: 1) An increase in board density results in a corresponding improvement in bending properties. 2) An increase in board density results in increased thermal conductivity. 3) In this research, ONP board can be used only for interior applications. To gain exrerior applications, the dimensional stability properties(thickness swelling and water absorption) need to be improved.

Graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites for PEMFC bipolar plates were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite powder was mixed with an phenol resin to impart electrical property in composites. In this study, conductive polymer composites with high filler $loadings(>60wt.\%)$ were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. The level of compaction is important because graphite powder increase electrical conductivity of composites by direct physical contact between particles. The optimum molding pressure according to filler was proposed experimentally. Various tests(electrical conductivity, flexural strength, compressive strength, leach test, etc) were carried out to verify the performance of fabricated composites for PEMFC bipolar plates. Fabricated composites have good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. The results of leach test and contact angle measurement showed similar characteristics compared with commercial bipolar plates.

In this paper we have proposed an efficient coding algorithm using directional filtering. First an image is transformed by using DCT which has better energy compaction and then the transformed image is divided into a low frequency component and several high frequency components. The transformed coefficients of each parts are transmitted respectively by using huffman code and these are transformed inversely at receiver. For the directional components total edge images are reconstructed at zero crossing points. We are able to reduce the amount of data by getting of complex component and making directional angles 90. As a results, this proposed method is better than that of Kunt in respect of processing time and memories. We have 38dB of image quality with objective measurement of PSNR and 0.26bpp of compression ratio which is acceptable.

패킷망을 통한 음성 통신이 발달됨에 따라 패킷 스위칭 채널 환경에서 계층적 구조를 가지는 광대역 음성 부호화기의 개발에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차세대 패킷 전화용 광대역 음성 부호화기의 상위 대역에 대해서 효율적인 양자화 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 전체 프레임을 다수의 짧은 부프레임으로 구분하고, 각각의 부프레임에 MLT(Modulated Lapped Transform)변환을 적용하여 주파수 영역으로 변환하여 2차원 구조의 데이터 행렬을 생성한다. 이러한 2차원 구조의 데이터를 크기와 부호로 분리하고, 크기는 2차원 DCT를 사용하여 시간과 주파수 영역에서의 신호 압축을 동시에 얻을 수 있게 하였다. 이와 같은 새로운 구조를 활용하여 기존의 방법보다 Energy Compaction 효과를 높이고 양자화 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한 Core Layer의 부호화된 파라미터를 상위 대역의 양자화에 이용함으로써 그 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

The characteristics of transform coefficients of discrete Gabor transform and the performances of their progressive coding are investiganted. The adaptive transform coding SAC is used for the progressive transmission. Exprerimental results show that although DGT has relatively low energy compaction property and coding efficiency, it yields good quality with greaty reduced block artifact and good edge at each stage of the progressive transmission.

The aim of the work descrihed in this paper is to study a characteristics of an unsaturated soil for the different matric suctions. To this end, a series of suction controlled isotropic and triaxial compression tests is conducted on silty sands. Matric suction is controlled by the axis translation technique using high air entry ceramic disk. Total volume change, air and water volume changes are measured by the device made for the experiment. The specimens are compacted using a half of Proctor compaction energy and with the water contents of 5% drier than the optimum moisture contents. Isotropic compression and triaxial compression tests are conducted on the specimen at each equilibrium state of matric suction. From test results, volume changes and deviator stresses are analyzed at each state and their relationships are formulated.

A study for permeability and erosion characteristics of short fiber reinforced soils was performed. As mixing ratio increases from 0 to 1.0% permeability of short fiber reinforced soils increased but, maximum increment ratio($k_{1.0%}/k_{0%}$) was 8.47. As a result of permeability test with 19, 38 and 60mm fiber reinforced soils, there were no difference in fiber length. Void ratio increased with increment of mixing ratio and decrease of compaction energy and as a result of plotting permeability and void ratio, log k increased linearly by void ratio. As a result of erosion test, soil erosion was decreased sharply by increase of fiber mixing ratio up to 1.0%. Despite increase of soil erosion by slope angle, the increment ratio was decreased by mixing ratio.

A nuclear design of fission moly production targets for a research reactor, HANARO was peformed. It was found that the use of MCNP-4A, ORIGEN-2 code was reliable for the analysis of production characteristics of $^{99}$ Mo in a target fuel at an irradiation holes. A parametric study was done for the optimization of target location, target dimension, target shape and fuel materials. It was shown that a fuel thickness was the most sensitive parameters and electro-deposited target gave the highest 99Mo yield ratio. A pellet target with vibro-compaction powder, however, showed the largest production capacity and better engineering feasibility even with less yield ratio. Ten kinds of optimized target design for both LEU and HEU satisfied all the given design constraints. The most favorable design was the HEU ring-shaped electro-deposited target, considered the safety limit, production yield, chemical process easiness, yield ratio, and amount of radioactive waste.

Municipal and sanitary landfills can pose environmental problems due to leachate, landfill gas md unstable geotechnical properties. Most governmental bodies delay the correction of landfill problems or landfill replacement until a crises stage is reached. The replacement of a landfill is often made difficult due to costly regulatory controls, public opposition to siting and the high cost of closure for the previous landfill unit. Solutions to extending landfill life and capacity Involve waste minimization by recycling, refuse compaction and waste-to-energy incineration. Incineration can reduce the volume of refuse by 50-95%. The largest installed bases of municipal waste Incinerators are located in Japan and the U.S. The volume of waste contained in a landfill can be estimated by load count tabulations, weight-and-volume measurements or a material balance analysis based on the trash profile of user categories. for an existing landfill, core samples may be collected and analyzed for use in a material balance analysis. Newly generated refuse contains approximately 50% of the heating value of coal. However, landfill properties vary significantly due to the waste profile of the contributors and biodegradation due to time and weathering. The volume of the Nanji-do landfill
