A data assimilation system for a 1-dimensional mixed layer model has been constructed using the adjoint method. The classical adjoint method does not work well for the mixed layer variabilities due to the occurrence of spikes in the gradient of the cost function. To solve this problem, the two techniques of scaling the cost function and optimization in the frequency space are used. As a result, the heat flux can be reliably estimated with an accuracy of 8Wm$^{-2}$ rms error in the identical twin experiments. We then applied this system to the tropical Pacific TOGA-TAO buoy data. The air-sea heat flux as well as the mixed layer variability were estimated in close approximation to the buoy data, particularly on time scales longer than the seasonal one.

This paper reviews three commercial softwares for wind climate data analysis in wind resource assessment; WAsP/Observed Wind Climate, WindRose and Windographer. Windographer is evaluated as the best software because of its variety of input data format, analysis functions, easiness of user interface, etc. For a quantitative understanding of uncertainty depending on software selection, a benchmark is carried out with the met-mast observation dataset at the Gimnyeong Wind Turbine Performance Test Site. It is found that Weibull parameter calculation and air density correction have a dependency on the software so that such uncertainty should be considered when an analysis software is selected. It is confirmed that annual energy production calculated by WAsP using a statistical table of frequency of occurrence may have some error compared to a time-series calculation method used by the other softwares.

The application of finding occurrences of a pattern that contains gaps includes information retrieval, data mining, and computational biology. As the biological sequences may contain errors, it is important to find not only the exact occurrences of a pattern but also approximate ones. In this paper we present an O(mnk$_{max}$/w) time algorithm for the approximate gapped pattern matching problem, where m is the length of the text, H is the length of the pattern, w is the word size of the target machine, and k$_{max}$ is the greatest error bound for subpatterns.

Villoglandular adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix has recently been described, and is characterized by good prognosis and occurrence in young women, except a small number of cases. Morphologically, it exclusively shows villoglandular growth and mild to moderate nuclear atypia, the cytologic diagnoses have been frequently missed due to interpretation error. We report here on the cytologic findings of two cases, and both cases were not diagnosed as adenocarcinoma before punch biopsy. One of these cases showed previously described characteristic features such as high cellularity and large tissue fragments with long villous fronds lined by columnar cell with mild nuclear atypia. The other showed moderate cellularity of somewhat smaller clusters without long villous structures. The clusters showed marked nuclear overlapping and the nuclei showed distinct moderate atypia with hyperchromasia and coarse chromatin pattern. The nucleoli were indistinct. Recognition of these features will be helpful to avoid underdiagnosis as a benign lesion, although diagnosis is still difficult in a portion of the cases.

As an observation instrument of the longest record of tropospheric water vapor, radiosonde data provide upper-air pressure (geopotential height), temperature, humidity and wind. However, the data have some well-known elements related to inaccuracy. In this article, radiosonde precipitable water vapor (PWV) at Sokcho observatory was compared with global positioning system (GPS) PWV during each summertime of year 2007 and 2008 and the biases were calculated. As a result, the mean bias showed negative values regardless of the rainfall occurrence. In addition, on the basis of GPS PWV, the maximum root mean square error (RMSE) was 5.67 mm over the radiosonde PWV.

The ideal way of eliminating errors in a large scale software system is to test the software with all possible inputs, providing sufficiently large amount of execution time. However, in practice, the test must be performed within given budget and time limits. Therefore, to perform the test under given constraints, we have to properly select inputs and determine the execution time for each selected inputs. This paper studies the distribution of number of errors at a given time as well as the distribution of time required to reduce the number of errors to a certain level. We assumed that error occurrence times are distributed exponentially (not necessarily identical) and the number of errors at the initial stage is known or estimable.

Since trihalomethanes (THMs) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected and measured in drinking water supplies in 1974, because of the frequent occurrence of these compounds and the potential health hazard they pose, several methods for detecting VOCs have been developed. The most widely accepted method for the analysis of THMs and other VOCs is a purgeand-trap method. In the analysis of VOCs by purge-and-trap,there are several factors which may give rise to errors. Some of the factors to be considered are purge time, carryover effect, cryofocusing temperature, and trap desorption temperature. In this study,many aspects of purge-and-trap were investigated. Understanding the sources of error makes it possible to adapt the analysis parameters to compensate for such effects.

In this study, air meter method and capacitance measurement method to apply economically at quality control of ready-mixed concrete among various unit water content measurement technique was selected. Then, it was evaluated estimating performance of unit water content according to the change of water-binder ratio and unit water content. Also, it was examined influence about error occurrence of unit water content by change of properties of used materials. Finally, based on this study, it was proposed fundamental data to utilize measurement technique of unit water content to quality control. of ready-mixed concrete in construction field.

When the fault occurred at distribution system, the restoration was late. There are 2 reasons The one is the error of fault location the other is multiple possible candidates of fault location. This paper presents two of new techniques for diagnosing fault regions. The proposed diagnosis scheme is capable of accurately identifying the location of fault upon its occurrence. based on the integration of information available from protective devices and measured load current change at the substation. In this paper expert system for real fault region is presented using these facts. Testing of the developed system using EMTP Simulation Model has demonstrated.

This paper described the positioning algorithm of partial discharge in insulation oil by acoustic method for the application of an on-line diagnosis in oil-immersed transformers. In the experiment, five AE sensors having the resonant frequency of 150 kHz were used, and a signal conditioner was fabricated. A needle-plane electrode system which is composed of a needle with a curvature radius of $10{\mu}m$ and a plane electrode with a diameter of 60 mm was installed to simulate partial discharges in insulation oil. From the time difference of arrival (TOA) of acoustic signal, we calculated the location of partial discharge in insulation oil. In the experiment, an algorithm of positioning of PD occurrence by the time difference of arrival was proposed. From the experimental results, the positioning error of PD calculated by three AE sensors was within 4%.
