Objectives. Two main digital signal processing technologies inside the modern hearing aid to provide the best conditions for hearing aid users are directionality (DIR) and digital noise reduction (DNR) algorithms. There are various possible settings for these algorithms. The present study evaluates the effects of various DIR and DNR conditions (both separately and in combination) on listening comfort among hearing aid users. Methods. In 18 participants who received hearing aid fitting services from the Rehabilitation School of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences regularly, we applied acceptable noise level (ANL) as our subjective measure of listening comfort. We evaluated both of these under six different hearing aid conditions: omnidirectional-baseline, omnidirectional-broadband DNR, omnidirectional-multichannel DNR, directional, directional-broadband DNR, and directional-multichannel DNR. Results. The ANL results ranged from -3 dB to 14 dB in all conditions. The results show, among all conditions, both the omnidirectional-baseline condition and the omnidirectional-broadband DNR condition are the worst conditions for listening in noise. The DIR always reduces the amount of noise that patients received during testing. The DNR algorithm does not improve listening in noise significantly when compared with the DIR algorithms. Although both DNR and DIR algorithms yielded a lower ANL, the DIR algorithm was more effective than the DNR. Conclusion. The DIR and DNR technologies provide listening comfort in the presence of noise. Thus, user benefit depends on how the digital signal processing settings inside the hearing aid are adjusted.

In this study, deepwater design waves were estimated for 16 wave directions and various return periods based on statistical analysis of extreme waves observed for more than 20 years at three stations (Chilbal-do, Geomun-do, Donghae). These values were compared with design waves estimated based on the omni-directional wave data. The Weibull distribution was used as the probability distribution function whose parameters were determined by the least square method. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied for the goodness of fit test. Notably, the directional design waves were smaller than the omni-directional design wave for every wave direction. The maximum 50-year wave heights for directional sectors were 7.46 m (NNE), 12.05 m (S), and 9,59 m (SSW) at Chilbal-do, Geomun-do and Donghae whereas those for uni-directional wave data were 7.91 m, 13.82 m and 10.38 m, respectively. This implied possible under-estimation of the deepwater design waves for 16 wave directions being currently used in the design of offshore and coastal structures.

A biologically inspired fuzzy multilayer perceptron is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is established under consideration of biological neuronal structure as well as fuzzy logic operation. We applied this suggested learning algorithm to benchmark problem in neural network such as exclusive OR and 3-bit parity, and to digit image recognition problems. For the comparison between the existing and proposed neural networks, the convergence speed is measured. The result of our simulation indicates that the convergence speed of the proposed learning algorithm is much faster than that of conventional backpropagation algorithm. Furthermore, in the image recognition task, the recognition rate of our learning algorithm is higher than of conventional backpropagation algorithm.

CAD System that was introduced In 1980 has significantly changed its way with the informatization in late 1990s. Nevertheless, tremendous data including interior Design has been produced, but it has been mixed without any organized direction. This study reviews the influence of Computer in interior Design Industry related to other Industries and searches for the common directionality that exists inside that diversity On the basis of this review, this study aims to make knowledge that is the new value from the Computer media as the guideline for research and development. For analysis, this study considers the development situation of other industries and the Computer systematization process in Korea and abroad at the same time on the basis of the change of interior Design process by CAD System.

The electronic and adsorption structure of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) on the H-Si(100) surface was investigated by using Near Edge X-ray Fine Structure (NEXAFS) and high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). We confirmed that the OPA grown on the H-Si(100) surface showed good dependency with about 60 degree tilting angle using NEXAFS and a single O 1s peak by using HRPES. Hydrogen atom passivated on the Si(100) surface was found to be a seed for making one dimensional organic line that uses a chain reaction as the H-Si(100) surface was compared with the hydrogen free Si(100) surface.

기존의 인폼드 검색 모델에서 자원 보유 피어의 검색 결과는 검색 과정에서 선택된 피어들 각각의 라우팅 결정 정보로 저장되는데, 자원 적중률에 따라 다음 피어를 선택할 때 주요 결정 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 라우팅 결정 정보를 이용하여 검색 트래픽과 검색 성공률 등의 측면에서 기존의 Random Walks 등에 비해 효과적인 성능 평가 결과를 보인 LTO(Leveled The Orienteering) 검색 알고리즘은 검색 과정에서의 라우팅 경로가 편중되어 있어 해당 노드들에 검색 부하 집중 경향을 보인다. 이에 본 논문에서는 검색 적중 빈도에 다라 LTO 검색 알고리즘이 검색 과정상에서 라우트 대상 노드들의 성능을 고려한 적응적 P2P 검색 알고리즘으로 확장 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능 평가 결과 노드들의 검색 부하 집중률과 자원 검색 노드의 검색 성공률 측면에서 적절한 타협점에서 동작함을 확인하였다.

The distribution of wave heights is assumed to be a Rayleigh distribution, based on the assumption of a narrow band and Gaussian distribution of wave elevation. The present study was started with doubts about the narrow band assumption. We selected the wave spectra widely used to simulate irregular random waves. The wave spectra used in this study included the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum, Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu spectrum, and JONSWAP spectrum. The directionality of the waves was considered. The cosine 2-l type directional spreading function and mixed form of the half-cosine 2-s type with Mitsuyasu type directional spreading are considered here to investigate the effects of a directional spreading function on random waves. The simulated wave height distribution is compared with a Rayleigh distribution.

Transitive relation and its directionality constitute the precondition for passivization, and the present study purports 10 unearth the true properties of transitivity in connection with the passive phenomena. The bottom line it drives at is this transitivity is a notion that can be best explained in 'cognitive' terms. The original direction of transitivity that is predicated by a verb can be reversed depending on the speaker's intention or the discourse situation. In the imperfective verb constructions transitivity can not be derived from only the content of the sentence itself and the predicate objectionally. That depends on the subjective interpretation of speaker considering the cognitive prototype of human to the various complicated situations.

For the proper utilization of daylight in a building, an architect should be able to utilize the building enveloped as a filter to admit daylight into the building. The daylighting concepts commonly used in buildings are categorized as sidelighting, toplighting and atrium, and their lighting concepts and characteristics are discussed. The decision of the daylighting concepts for a building should be based on the analysis of the quantity, characteristics and directionality of daylight, and resulting contrast effect.
