The current study focuses on the effect of the end shape of steel pipe piles on installation effort and bearing resistance using the pressing method of installation under dense ground conditions. The effect of pile rotation on the installation effort and bearing resistance is also investigated. The model steel piles with a flat end, cone end and cutting-edge end were used in this study. The test results indicated that cone end pile with the pressing method of installation required the least installation effort (load) and showed higher ultimate resistance than flat and cutting-edge end piles. However, pressing and rotation during cutting-edge end pile installation considerably reduces the installation effort (load and torque) if pile penetration in one rotation equal to the cutting-edge depth. Inclusion of rotation during pile installation reduces the ultimate bearing resistance. However, if penetration of the cutting-edge end pile equal to the cutting-edge depth in one rotation, the reduction in ultimate resistance can be minimized. In comparing the cone and cutting-edge end piles installed with pressing and rotation, the least installation effort is observed in the cutting-edge end pile installed with penetration rate equal to the cutting-edge depth per rotation.

A typical statistical parametric speech synthesis (text-to-speech, TTS) system consists of separate modules, such as a text analysis module, an acoustic modeling module, and a speech synthesis module. This causes two problems: 1) expert knowledge of each module is required, and 2) errors generated in each module accumulate passing through each module. An end-to-end TTS system could avoid such problems by synthesizing voice signals directly from an input string. In this study, we implemented an end-to-end Korean TTS system using Google's Tacotron, which is an end-to-end TTS system based on a sequence-to-sequence model with attention mechanism. We used 4392 utterances spoken by a Korean female speaker, an amount that corresponds to 37% of the dataset Google used for training Tacotron. Our system obtained mean opinion score (MOS) 2.98 and degradation mean opinion score (DMOS) 3.25. We will discuss the factors which affected training of the system. Experiments demonstrate that the post-processing network needs to be designed considering output language and input characters and that according to the amount of training data, the maximum value of n for n-grams modeled by the encoder should be small enough.

본 논문은 광대역 통합망에서 오버레이를 이용하여 사용자 관점의 End-to-end QoS 지원 구조를 제안한다. 기존 광대역 통합망은 제어평면의 IMS에서 사용자평면에 존재하는 IP 전달망의 직접적인 트래픽제어와 자원예약을 수행하여 QoS를 제공한다. 그리고 사용자의 End-to-end QoS를 지원하기 위하여 전달망에서 확보한 QoS를 사용자에게 최대로 전송하고 품질 저하를 최소화하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 기존 연구와 더불어 사용자가 요구하는 서비스 품질의 차별화, 사용자의 단말환경에 최적화된 컨텐츠의 제공과 같은 사용자 수준에서의 확장된 QoS 개념이 고려될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안하는 오버레이 서비스 네트워크 구조의 전송계층에서는 다양한 망환경에 가장 효율적인 전송 프로토콜을 사용하여 최대의 전송효율을 제공하는 프로토콜 최적화기능을 지원한다. 그리고 응용계층에서는 사용자 단말의 데이터 변환과정에서 발생하는 프로세싱지연을 네트워크로 분산시키고, 오버에이를 이용하여 사용자의 서비스수준과 응용서비스의 특징 및 단말환경에 적합한 형태로의 중간변환기능을 수행한다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서는 광대역 통합망에서 전송계층과 응용계층의 서비스 품질 제어 기능을 추가하여 사용자의 End-to-end QoS를 지원하는 오버레이 서비스 네트워크의 구조와 내부 컴포넌트 기능, 그리고 3GPP와의 연동을 통한 QoS 제공 방안을 제안한다.

Wi-Fi Round-trip timing (RTT) based location estimation technology estimates the distance between the user and the AP based on the transmission and reception time of the signal. This is because reception instability and signal distortion are greater than that of a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based fingerprint in an indoor NLOS environment, resulting in a large position error due to multipath fading. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an end-to-end based WiFi Trilateration Net (WTN) that combines neural network-based RTT correction and trilateral positioning network, respectively. The proposed WTN is composed of an RNN-based correction network to improve the RTT distance accuracy and a neural network-based trilateral positioning network for real-time positioning implemented in an end-to-end structure. The proposed network improves learning efficiency by changing the trilateral positioning algorithm, which cannot be learned through differentiation due to mathematical operations, to a neural network. In addition, in order to increase the stability of the TOA based RTT, a correction network is applied in the scanning step to collect reliable distance estimation values from each RTT AP.

The effects of actively stimulating devices (ASD) on juvenile flatfish escape were studied to increase escape rates from the cod end by encouraging fish to approach the net wall. Two kinds of ASD were designed: a fluttering net panel, i.e., a free-end flag-like net panel, and a double conical rope array. Escape responses of juvenile bastard halibut were observed in a circulating water channel using two model cod ends, one made with diamond-shaped 43-mm-mesh-size polyethylene (PE) as a high-contrast cod end and the other with polyamid (PA) mono-ply as a low-contrast cod end. Retention rate was significantly lower with the double conical rope-array ASD in the PE cod end than with conventional PE cod ends only or the fluttering net-panel ASD inside the PE cod end. Mean retention rate with the low-contrast PA cod end was also significantly lower than that with the high-contrast PE conventional cod end. Therefore, active fluttering devices using a double conical rope array together with less visible low-contrast netting in the cod end could help to reduce the bycatch of juvenile flatfish by weakening their optomotor response and actively driving fish to the side net panel.

Studies on ski-end shape control at the top end of rolling plate in heavy thick plate mill by using FEM analysis and measuring system have been performed. Plate shape behaviour at the top-end on rolling by the two different methods in finishing rolling process has been observed. One is to minimize the height of ski-end by using pass line based on the relational model between shape factor and pick-up and the other one is to prevent turn down problem caused by the impact between table roller and down bended plate on rolling by using roll speed difference. To minimize the height of ski-end, the prediction models based on the FEM analysis and measuring data was developed. The control method of ski - end shape on finishing rolling process was applied in actual mill and the height of ski-end was reduced by about 50% compared with conventional operation.

A finite analytic(FA) numerical study was performed to determin'e flow dynamics in the vicinity of an end-to-end anastomosis. Experimental data of instantaneous lumen cross-section were used to simulate steady flow through an end-to-end anastomosis In order to solve the governing axisymmetric Wavier-Stokes equations. Wall shear stresses increased proximal to the anastomosis In flow from the Penrose tubing to the PTFE graft. In flow the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stresses were observed distal to the anastomosis. The present study suggests a correlation betweerl regions of low wall shear stress and the do velopment of pnastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANFH ) in end-to-end anastomoses.

In recent years, distributed control systems(DCS) using fieldbus such as CAN have been applied to process systems but it is very difficult to design the DCS while guaranteeing the given end-to-end constraints such as precedence constraints, time constraints, and periods and priorities of tasks and messages. This paper presents a scheduling method to guarantee the given end-to-end constraints considering aperiodic, periodic and non-real-time message and task simultaneously. The presented scheduling method is the integrated one considering both tasks executed in each node and messages transmitted via the network and is designed to be applied to a general DCS that has multiple loops with several types of constraints, where each loop consists of sensor nodes with multiple sensors, actuator nodes with multiple actuators and controller nodes with multiple tasks.

Researches about scheduling distributed real-time systems have some weak points, not scheduling both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages or being unable to guaranteeing the end-to-end constraints due to omitting precedence relations between sporadic tasks. This paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system. It is shown that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints. So this paper proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm which considers the practical laxity of a task and allocates a proper priority to a task.

확장단부판(extended end-plate) 접합부는 보-기둥 모멘트 접합부의 한 형태로 접합부를 구성하는 단부판(end-plate)의 두께 및 길이, 고장력볼트의 개수 및 직경, 고장력볼트의 게이지 거리, 용접부의 치수 및 길이 등에 따라서 상이한 거동특성과 에너지소산능력을 발현한다. 이러한 확장단부판(extended end-plate)는 미국 및 유럽 등지에서는 다양한 기하학적 형상으로 기둥-보 접합부에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 우리나라에서는 강구조 보-기둥 접합부에 적극적으로 적용되고 있지 못한 상황이다. 이렇게 적용성이 높지 않은 이유로는 기하학적 형상변화에 따른 설계강도식 제안, 에너지소산능력 평가 및 시공지침의 제공이 적절하게 이루어지지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 단부판(end-plate) 두께가 상대적으로 얇은 기하학적 형상을 갖는 비보강 확장단부판(unstiffened extended end-plate) 접합부의 에너지소산능력을 평가하여 에너지소산능력 예측모델을 제안하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 비보강 확장단부판(unstiffened extended end-plate) 접합부에 대한 3차원 비선형 유한요소해석을 단부판(end-plate)의 두께를 변수로 하여 수행하였다.
