As for Hadamard Transform, because the calculation time of this transform is slower than Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the effectiveness and the practicality are insufficient. Then, the computational complexity can be decreased by using the butterfly operation as well as FFT. We composed calculation time of FFT with that of Fast Complex Hadamard Transform by constructing the algorithm of Fast Complex Hadamard Transform. They are indirect conversions using program of complex number calculation, and immediate calculations. We compared calculation time of them with that of FFT. As a result, the reducing the calculation time of the Complex Hadamard Transform is achieved. As for the computational complexity and calculation time, the result that quadrinomial Fast Complex Hadamard Transform that don't use program of complex number calculation decrease more than FFT was obtained.

Recently, computational calculation of molecular energy potentials and electrochemical reduction/oxidation behaviors are of very importance in view point of prediction of dye's properties such as energy levels and bandgaps of absorption. This can be influenced by their different constituents or substituents in chromogen molecules. Structural conformations and properties with computational modeling calculation are numerically simulated, which are fully or partly based on fundamental laws of physics. In addition, cyclic voltammetric measurement was used to obtain the experimental redox potential values, which were compared to the computed simulation values.

A meshfree formulation for the calculation of energy band structure is presented. The conventional meshfree shape function is modified to handle the periodicity of Bravais lattice, and applied to the calculation of real-space electronic-band structure. Numerical examples include the Kronig-Penney model potential and the empirical pseudopotentials of diamond and zinc-blonde semiconductors. Results demonstrate that the meshfree method be a promising one as a real-space technique for the calculations of diverse physical band structures.

A method for automatic check of omitted design item in structural calculation document of steel box bridges is proposed. A method for automatic check of omitted design item in structural calculation document of steel box bridges is proposed. Information processing for the proposed method is divided into two steps: automatic generation of document structure in XML Schema Definition (XSD) format and extract omitted design items by using the XML Schema matching technique. The automatic omitted element filter is developed on the basis of the proposed method, and the accuracy of the developed module is examined with case study subjected to existing structural calculation document samples.

This study presents a schema matching technique which can be applied to XML semantic model of structural calculation reports of steel-box bridges. The semantic model of structural calculation documents was developed by extracting the optimized common elements from the analyses of various existing structural calculation documents, and the standardized semantic model was schematized by using XML Schema. In addition, the similarity measure technique and the relaxation labeling technique were employed to develop the schema matching algorithm. The former takes into account the element categories and their features, and the latter considers the structural constraints in the semantic model. The standardized XML semantic model of steel-box bridge's structural calculation documents called target schema was compared with existing nonstandardized structural calculation documents called primitive schema by the developed schema matching algorithm Some application examples show the importance of the development of standardized target schema for structural calculation documents and the effectiveness and efficiency of schema matching technique in the examination of the degree of document standardization in structural calculation reports.

For a given brushless DC linear motor, we suggest the numerical prediction methods to analyze it's thrust characteristics. First, we calculate the magnetic flux density by the finite element method, and we then compute the maximum thrust with three computational methods - a Lorentz equation, a Maxwell stress method and a virtual work method. To confirm the accuracy of the computational methods, we measure the thrust of the linear motor made by our laboratory with a force-torque sensor. Also, we calculate the thrust by the measured back electromotive force. To choose the appropriate method for a specified application, we compare the maximum thrusts of the computational method and the calculation by the back electromotive force with the measured one. We conclude that the Maxwell stress method is turned out the best because it has the most accurate results among three computational methods and it is more convenient than the calculation method by the back electromotive force.

Computational anthropomorphic phantoms are computer models of human anatomy used in the calculation of radiation dose distribution in the human body upon exposure to a radiation source. Depending on the manner to represent human anatomy, they are categorized into two classes: stylized and tomographic phantoms. Stylized phantoms, which have mainly been developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), describe human anatomy by using simple mathematical equations of analytical geometry. Several improved stylized phantoms such as male and female adults, pediatric series, and enhanced organ models have been developed following the first hermaphrodite adult stylized phantom, Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD)-5 phantom. Although stylized phantoms have significantly contributed to dosimetry calculation, they provide only approximations of the true anatomical features of the human body and the resulting organ dose distribution. An alternative class of computational phantom, the tomographic phantom, is based upon three-dimensional imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT). The tomographic phantoms represent the human anatomy with a large number of voxels that are assigned tissue type and organ identity. To date, a total of around 30 tomographic phantoms including male and female adults, pediatric phantoms, and even a pregnant female, have been developed and utilized for realistic radiation dosimetry calculation. They are based on MRI/CT images or sectional color photos from patients, volunteers or cadavers. Several investigators have compared tomographic phantoms with stylized phantoms, and demonstrated the superiority of tomographic phantoms in terms of realistic anatomy and dosimetry calculation. This paper summarizes the history and current status of both stylized and tomographic phantoms, including Korean computational phantoms. Advantages, limitations, and future prospects are also discussed.

In this paper, we propose an efficient DCT calculation method for fast video encoding. We show that the SAD obtained in the motion estimation and compensation process is decomposed into the positive and negative terms. Based on a theoretical analysis, it is shown that the DCT calculation is classified into 4 cases - DCT Skip, Reduced_DCT1 , Reduced_DCT2, and original DCT- according to the positive and negative terms. In the proposed algorithm, one of 4 cases is used for DCT in order to reduce the computational complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves computational saving approximately 25.2% without image degradation and computational overhead.

Modern ocean-going vessels are highly dynamically loaded all-welded structures. Traditionally, this fact has been taken into account in the design of ship structures by keeping the overall stress level within permissible limits and by limiting notch effects in the design of local structures. With an improving knowledge of loads and the rapid development of calculation means more detailed calculation-based methods are increasingly introduced. A brief review on fatigue assessment methods used in the design of ship structures has been given during the 1993 IIW International Conference in Glasgow. The rapid development during recent years underlines the importace of the subject and justifies its extended discussion in this paper.

Neutron transport calculations are extremely challenging due to the high computational cost of large and complex problems. A multilevel octree grid algorithm (MLTG) of discrete ordinates method was developed to improve the modeling accuracy and simulation efficiency on 3-D Cartesian grids. The Balakovo-3 VVER-1000 neutron dosimetry benchmark is calculated to verify and validate this numerical technique. A simplified S₂ synthetic acceleration is used in the MLTG calculation method to improve the convergence of the source iterations. For the triangularly arranged fuel pins, we adopt a source projection algorithm to generate pin-by-pin source distributions of hexagonal assemblies. MLTG provides accurate geometric modeling and flexible fixed source description at a lower cost than traditional Cartesian grids. The total number of meshes is reduced to 1.9 million from the initial 9.5 million for the Balakovo-3 model. The numerical comparisons show that the MLTG results are in satisfactory agreement with the conventional S_N method and experimental data, within the root-mean-square errors of about 4% and 10%, respectively. Compared to uniform fine meshing, approximately 70% of the computational cost can be saved using the MLTG algorithm for the Balakovo-3 computational model.
