Power and signal transmission using electromagnetic waves are essential in modern times, and a guided structure is needed to transmit electromagnetic waves efficiently through the desired path. This paper performed an electromagnetic simulation using the in-house code for the 2-D/3-D waveguide using the finite element method. The accuracy of the analysis was verified by comparing it with the results of HFSS, a representative electromagnetic wave simulation software. In addition, the performance of the Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC), which is essential to truncate the infinite computational domain for computational electromagnetics, was analyzed. Finally, the parallelization technique was applied to accelerate the simulation speed, demonstrating performance improvement.

In this paper, we propose a method for combining convolutional neural networks and attention mechanism to improve the recognition performance of emotional stress from Electroencephalogram (EGG) signals. In the proposed method, EEG signals are decomposed into five frequency domains, and spatial information of EEG features is obtained by applying a convolutional neural network layer to each frequency domain. As a next step, salient frequency information is learned in each frequency band using a gate transformer-based attention mechanism, and complementary frequency information is further learned through inter-frequency mapping to reflect it in the final attention representation. Through an EEG stress recognition experiment involving a DEAP dataset and six subjects, we show that the proposed method is effective in improving EEG-based stress recognition performance compared to the existing methods.

This paper is concerned with an analysis of a surface edge crack emanated from a sharp contact edge. For a geometrical model, a square wedge is in contact with a half plane whose materials are identical, and a surface perpendicular crack initiated from the contact edge exists in the half plane. To analyze this crack problem, it is necessary to evaluate the stress field on the crack line which are induced by the contact tractions and pseudo-dislocations that simulate the crack, using the Bueckner principle. In this Part I, the stress filed in the half plane due to the contact is re-summarized using an asymptotic analysis method, which has been published before by the author. Further focus is given to the stress field in the half plane due to a pseudo-edge dislocation, which will provide a stress solution due to a crack (i.e. a continuous distribution of edge dislocations) later, using the Burgers vector. Essential result of the present work is the corrective functions which modify the stress field of an infinite domain to apply for the present one which has free surfaces, and thus the infiniteness is no longer preserved. Numerical methods and coordinate normalization are used, which was developed for an edge crack problem, using the Gauss-Jacobi integration formula. The convergence of the corrective functions are investigated here. Features of the corrective functions and their application to a crack problem will be given in Part II.

In this paper the comparative study on the pronunciation of Vietnamese learners and Koreans for the Korean syllable final double consonants was performed. For many errors and the suggested teaching methods related to the pronunciation of the Korean syllable final double consonants that were investigated and analyzed through linguistic research the results of this study by using the analysis tools of speech signal processing were confirmed. Thus, we suggest the new educational method in this paper. Using SVM, which is widely used in machine learning of artificial intelligence the pronunciation of Vietnamese learners and that of Koreans were compared. Being able to obtain the decision hyperplane of the SVM means that Vietnamese learners' pronunciation of the Korean syllable final double consonants is quite different from that of Koreans. Otherwise their pronunciation are pretty similar each other. The new teaching method presented in this paper is not only composed of writing and listening but is included things such as the speech signal waveform in the time domain and its corresponding energy that can be visualized to the learners.

ROK has a lot to benchmark from how Ukraine is fighting Russia back with its tactical wins. They have taken a targeted strategy to strike Russia's top generals with high precision. To carry out this strategy, Ukraine is operating a Special Operations Force, which utilizes US/NATO forces, civilian and own resources for maximum impact. Of note, they utilize Starlink for seamless connection from detection, decision-making to strike to maximize operational efficiency. As ROK faces security threat of weapons of mass destruction, Ukraine's military intelligence organization set-up, weapons system and operations can provide some guidance on how to leverage its various SOF as well.

In modern society, various digital devices are being distributed in a wide range of fields due to the fourth industrial revolution and the development of IoT technology. However, noise is generated in the process of acquiring or transmitting an image, and not only damages the information, but also affects the system, causing errors and incorrect operation. AWGN is a representative noise among image noise. As a method for removing noise, prior research has been conducted, and among them, AF, A-TMF, and MF are the representative methods. Existing filters have a disadvantage that smoothing occurs in areas with high frequency components because it is difficult to consider the characteristics of images. Therefore, the proposed algorithm calculates the standard deviation distribution to effectively eliminate noise even in the high frequency domain, and then calculates the final output by applying the probability density function weight of the Laplace distribution using the curve fitting method.

In this study, the normal group and possible sarcopenia(PS) group were divided by the criteria for sarcopenia diagnostic based on the 7th period data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. An independent t-test and logistic regression was performed for the difference between the two groups. As a result, the PS group was older, and height, weight, and BMI were all lower. The waist circumference was significantly lower in men but significantly higher in women. According to the quality of life by domain, the frequency of impairment in daily activities in exercise capacity was 8.28 fold in men and 15.52 fold in women. In addition, aerobic exercise regularity was 19% and 26% lower in the PS, and strength exercise regularity was practiced was 52% and 43% lower.

To construct a coronal force-free magnetic field, we must impose the boundary normal current density (or three components of magnetic field) as well as the boundary normal field at the photosphere as boundary conditions. The only method that is known to implement these boundary conditions exactly is the method devised by Grad and Rubin (1958). However, the Grad-Rubin method and all its variations (including the fluxon method) suffer from convergence problems. The magnetofrictional method and its variations are more robust than the Grad-Rubin method in that they at least produce a certain solution irrespective of whether the global solution is compatible with the imposed boundary conditions. More than often, the influence of the boundary conditions does not reach beyond one or two grid planes next to the boundary. We have found that the 2D solenoidal gauge condition for vector potentials allows us to implement the required boundary conditions easily and effectively. The 2D solenoidal condition is translated into one scalar function. Thus, we need two scalar functions to describe the magnetic field. This description is quite similar to the Chandrasekhar-Kendall representation, but there is a significant difference between them. In the latter, the toroidal field has both Laplacian and divergence terms while in ours, it has only a 2D Laplacian term. The toroidal current density is also expressed by a 2D Laplacian. Thus, the implementation of boundary normal field and current are straightforward and their effect can permeate through the whole computational domain. In this paper, we will give detailed math involved in this formulation and discuss possible lateral and top boundary conditions and their meanings.

In this study, dam-break flows are simulated numerically by using an efficient and accurate Cartesian cut-cell mesh system. In the system, most of the computational domain is discretized by the Cartesian mesh, while peculiar grids are done by a cutcell mesh system. The governing equations are then solved by the finite volume method. An HLLC approximate Riemann solver and TVD-WAF method are employed to calculation of advection flux of the shallow-water equations. To validate the numerical model, the model is applied to some problems such as a steady flow convergence on an ideal bed, a steady flow over an irregular bathymetry, and a rectangular tank problem. The present model is finally applied to a simulation of dam-break flow on an experimental channel. The predicted water surface elevations are compared with available laboratory measurements. A very reasonable agreement is observed.
