A deterministic tuberculosis model for theoretically assessing the potential impact of the combined effects of case detection in the presence of treatment is formulated. The qualitative features of its equilibria are analyzed and it is found that the disease-free equilibrium may not be globally asymptotically stable when the reproduction number is less than unity. This disease threshold number is further used to assess the impact of active TB case finding alone and in conjunction with treatment. A critical threshold parameter ${\Theta}$ say for which case detection will have a positive impact is derived. Using the Centre Manifold theory, the model may exhibit the phenomenon of backward bifurcation (coexistence of a locally stable endemic equilibrium with a stable disease-free equilibrium) when the reproduction number is less than unity. It is shown that the possibility of backward bifurcation occurring decreases with increase case detection. Graphical representations suggest that increase in case finding accompanied by treatment of detected TB cases, result in a marked decrease of TB cases (both latent and active TB).

FOG(fiber optic gyroscope :광섬유 자이로스코프)는 소형 경량화, 신속한 가동, 저 전력 소모 및 저렴한 가격으로 실현 가능하므로 자이로콤파스시스템에서의 선호도가 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FOG를 기반으로 하며, 자이로콤파스시스템에 적용할 수 있는 디지털 진북추종 방식을 제안한다. FOG의 earth signal의 해석모델을 분석하고, lock-in증폭기를 통과한 earth signal을 모델링 한다. 두 개의 lock-in증폭기 출력신호를 이용한 진북추종 알고리즘을 개발하고, 이 알고리즘에 의한 디지털 진북추종 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식의 성능을 증명하기 위해 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 결과를 포함한다.

정보수집용 ELINT 장비에서 전파의 방위를 정확하게 찾는 기술은 매우 중요하다. 신호도착 시간차(TDOA)를 이용하는 방위탐지 장치는 수신용 배열 안테나와 시간차 측정장치로 구성된다. TDOA 기술은 에미터 신호가 수신용 배열 안테나 시스템의 각각의 안테나에 도달하는 시간차를 계산하여 에미터의 방위를 산출하는 방법이다. TDOA 방식은 광대역 주파수에서 사용 가능하며 위상변별기나 주파수 측정기와 같은 복잡한 장치가 필요하지 않기 때문에 구성이 간단하다. 그러나 방위 탐지정확도를 높이기 위해서는 시간 측정 분해능이 좋아야하고 수신 안테나 배열간격이 길어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경과 유사한 잡음을 고려한 환경에서 방위탐지 정확도를 모사하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

Finding an energy efficient route is one of the very important issues in the wireless sensor networks. The route scheme should consider both of the energy level of sensor nodes and the number of hops at the same time. First of all, this paper proposes an optimum routes finding scheme (ORFS), which could be used in the sensor network routing protocols. The scheme uses an optimum value for the path with the considerations of both the minimum energy level of a path and the number of hops at the same time. After that, this paper proposes a routing protocol based on the ORFS for how it could be used for the multipath directed diffusion with data aggregation (MDD-A), to get the better energy efficiency. The analysis result shows that the proposed routing protocol could lengthen the network life cycle about 18.7% compared to the previous MDD-A related protocols.

본 논문에서는 안테나 간의 상호 결합을 고려한 온라인 보상 알고리즘을 고려하였으며, 이를 적용하기 위한 새로운 GPS(Global Positioning System)용 안테나 배열을 제안하였다. 제안한 안테나 배열 및 ULA(Uniform Linear Array), URA(Uniform Rectangular Array)에 대한 항재밍 성능 평가를 위해 복수의 재밍신호 환경에 대한 방향탐지를 환경 조건 별로 나누어서 진행하였다. 1. 상호 결합이 존재하지 않는 환경. 2. 상호 결합이 있으나 보상이 이루어지지 않는 환경. 3. 상호 결합 보상이 이루어진 환경. RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) 분석을 통해 온라인 보상 알고리즘이 작동함을 확인하고 복수의 재밍신호에서도 피크 검출이 가능함을 보였다.

Path finding is a key element in the navigation of a mobile robot. To find a path, robot should know their position exactly, since the position error exposes a robot to many dangerous conditions. It could make a robot move to a wrong direction so that it may have damage by collision by the surrounding obstacles. We propose a method obtaining an accurate robot position. The localization of a mobile robot in its working environment performs by using a vision system and Virtual Reality Modeling Language(VRML). The robot identifies landmarks located in the environment. An image processing and neural network pattern matching techniques have been applied to find location of the robot. After the self-positioning procedure, the 2-D scene of the vision is overlaid onto a VRML scene. This paper describes how to realize the self-positioning, and shows the overlay between the 2-D and VRML scenes. The suggested method defines a robot's path successfully. An experiment using the suggested algorithm apply to a mobile robot has been performed and the result shows a good path tracking.

게임의 난이도는 게임의 재미와 깊은 연관이 있다. 하지만 게임 레벨의 난이도를 적절하게 결정하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 대부분의 경우 사람의 실제 게임 플레이를 통한 테스트가 요구한다. 또한 정량적인 평가도 어렵다. 따라서 게임 레벨 난이도의 정량적 평가를 자동으로 수행하는 것은 게임 개발에 많은 도움이 될 것이다. 이 논문에서는 경로 탐색 알고리즘을 사용하여 게임 레벨의 길 찾기 난이도를 평가하였다. 길을 찾는 것은 많은 게임들의 기본 속성으로 게임 레벨의 전반적인 난이도를 대표한다. 그리고 우리는 게임 레벨의 탐색 가능 영역이 동적으로 확장되고 다시금 탐색이 요구되는 경우 이전 경로 탐색 결과를 재사용하여 난이도 평가 알고리즘의 성능을 최적화하였다.

In state-of-the-art games, characters can move in a goal-directed manner so that they can move to the goal position without colliding obstacles. Many path-finding methods have been proposed and implemented for these characters and most of them use the A* search algorithm. When .the map is represented with a regular grid of squares or a navigation mesh, it often takes a long time for the A* to search the state space because the number of cells used In the grid or the mesh increases for higher resolution. Moreover the A* search on the grid often causes a zigzag effect, which is not optimal and realistic. In this paper we propose to use visibility graphs to improve the search time by reducing the search space and to find the optimal path. We also propose a method of taking into account the size of moving characters in the phase of planning to prevent them from colliding with obstacles as they move. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the grid-based A* algorithm in terms of the search time and space and that the resulting paths are more realistic.

In this paper, the peak finding algorithms corresponding to the Autocorrelation Function (ACF), which are widely exploited for detecting the pitch of voiced signal, are proposed. According to various researchers, it is well known fact that the estimation of fundamental frequency (F0) in speech signal is not only very important task but quite difficult mission. The proposed algorithms, presented in this paper, are implemented by using many characteristics - such as monotonic increasing function - of ACF function. Thus, the proposed algorithms may be able to estimate both reliable and correct the fundamental frequency as long as the autocorrelation function of speech signal is accurate. Since the proposed algorithms may reduce the computational complexity it can be applied to the real-time processing. The speech data, is composed of Korean emotion expressed words, is used for evaluation of their performance. The pitches are measured to compare the performance of proposed algorithms.
