Recently, a method for robust time reversal focusing has been introduced to extend the period of stable focusing in time-dependent ocean environments [S. Kim et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 114, 145-157, (2003)]. In this study, concept of focal-size broadening based on waveguide invariant theory in an ocean time reversal acoustics is described. It is achieved by imposing the multiple location constraints. The signal vector used in multiple location constraints are found from the theory on waveguide invariant for frequency band corresponding the extended focal range. The broadening of foci in an ocean waveguide can play an important role in the application of time reversal processing, particularly to the underwater acoustic communication with moving vehicles. The proposed method is demonstrated in the context of the underwater acoustic communication from the transmit/receive array (TRA) to a slowly moving vehicle.

The deformation of a structure shall be called homologous, if a given geometrical relation holds, for a given number of structural points, before, during, and after the deformation. Some researchers have utilized the idea on structural design with finite element method. The approaches use the decomposition of the FEM equation or equality of eqality equations to obtain homologous deformation. However, weight reduction and response constraints such as stress, displacement or natural frequency cannot be considered by those theories. An optimization method solving the above problems is suggested to gain homologous deformation. Homology constraints can be considered under multiple loadindg conditions as well as a single loading condition. Homology index is defined for the multiple loading conditions Examples are solved to present the performances of the method.

Performance evaluations of database algorithms are usually conducted on a set of queries for a given test database. For more detailed evaluation results, it is often necessary to use different query workloads several times. Each query workload should reflect the querying patterns of the application domain in real world, which are non-uniform in the usage frequencies of attributes in queries of the workload for a given database. It is not trivial to generate many different query workloads manually, while considering non-uniform distributions of attributes'usage frequencies. In this paper we propose a technique to generate non-uniform distributions, which will help construct query workloads more efficiently. The proposed algorithm generates a query-attribute usage distribution based on given constraints on usage frequencies of attributes and qreries. The algorithm first allocates as many attributes to queries as Possible. Then it corrects the distribution by considering attributes and queries which are not within the given frequency constraints. We have implemented and tested the performance of the proposed algorithm, and found that the algorithm works well for various input constraints. The result of this work could be extended to help automatically generate SQL queries for various database performance benchmarking.

본 논문에서는 TV 화이트 스페이스(TV white space, TVWS)에서 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 기반 비인가 사용자의 파워 할당 기법을 제안한다. 비인가 사용자는 TVWS를 사용할 때, 시간 도메인에서 TVWS의 파워 제약조건을 충족시키기 위해 전송 파워를 조절해야 한다. TDM(time division multiplexing) 혹은 FDM (frequency division multiplexing)과 달리 OFDM은 시간 도메인에서 높은 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio)을 가지기 때문에, 기존의 비인가 사용자의 파워 할당 기법이 TVWS에 적용될 경우 TVWS의 파워 제약 조건을 충족시킬 수 없게 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 OFDM의 높은 PAPR값을 제어하여 순시적으로 TVWS의 파워 제약 조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 새로운 파워 할당 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 이를 기반으로 OFDM 기반 비인가 사용자의 용량을 닫힌 형태(closed form)로 분석한다. 이에 따르면, 부반송파의 개수를 줄일수록 용량을 향상시킬 수 있다. 모의실험을 통해서, 비인가 사용자의 용량은 부반송파 개수가 작아질수록, 비인가 사용자의 송신단-수신단 간 채널 평균값이 커질수록 증가하는 것을 보여준다.

In this study size optimization of large-scale dome structures with dynamic constraints is presented. In the optimal design of these structure, the Jaya algorithm is used to find minimal size of design variables. The design variables are the cross-sectional areas of the steel truss bar elements. To take into account the constraints which are the first five natural frequencies of the structures, the finite element analysis is coded in Matlab programs using eigen values of the stiffness matrix of the dome structures. The Jaya algorithm and the finite elements codes are combined by the help of the Matlab - GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming to carry out the optimization process for the dome structures. To show the efficiency and the advances of the Jaya algorithm, 1180 bar dome structure and the 1410 bar dome structure were tested by taking into the frequency constraints. The optimal results obtained by the proposed algorithm are compared with those given in the literature to demonstrate the performance of the Jaya algorithm. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the proposed algorithm can be effectively used in the optimal design of large-scale dome structures.

In this article, the vibration behavior of embedded Functionally Graded Nanoplate (FGNP) employing nonlocal Kirchhoff's plate theory has been investigated under hygrothermal environment. The FGNP is considered to be supported by Winkler-Pasternak foundation. The Eringen's differential theory is used for size effect on the vibration of the FGNP. Rayleigh-Ritz method with orthogonal polynomials are employed for the governing equations and edge constraints. The advantage of this method is that it overcomes all the drawbacks of edge constraints and can easily handle any combinations of mixed edge constraints. The coefficients viz. moisture expansion, thermal expansion and elastic coefficients are considered to be transversely graded across the FGNP. The similarity of the calculated natural frequencies is examined with the previous research, and a good concurrency is seen. The objective of this article is to analyze the parameters' effect on the nondimensionalized frequency of embedded FGNP under hygrothermal environment subjected to all possible edge constraints. For this, uniform and linear rise of temperature and moisture concentration are considered. The study highlights that the nonlocal effect is pronounced for higher modes. Moreover, the effect of the Pasternak modulus is seen to be prominent compared to the Winkler modulus on non dimensionalized frequencies of FGNP.

We developed an accurate and simple vibration model to calculate the natural frequencies and their corresponding vibration modes for multi-span beam bridges with non-uniform cross-sections. A closed set of characteristic functions of a single-span beam was used to construct the vibration modes of the multi-span bridges, which were considered single-span beams with multiple constraints. To simplify the boundary conditions, the restraints were converted into spring constraints. Then the functional of the total energy has the same form as the penalty method. Compared to the conventional penalty method, the penalty coefficients in the proposed approach can be calculated directly, which can avoid the iteration process and convergence problem. The natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes were obtained via the minimum total potential energy principle. By using the symmetry of the eigenfunctions or structure, the matrix size can be further reduced, which increases the computational efficiency of the proposed model. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach were validated by the finite element method.

H.264/AVC 비디오 부호화 표준은 MPEG-2, H.263 또는 MPEG-4와 같은 기존의 비디오 부호화 표준과 비교하여 상당한 부호화 효율의 향상을 제공한다. 부호화 효율의 향상을 수행하기 위해서 H.264/AVC는 매크로블록 단위로 최적의 움직임 벡터, 참조 화면, 매크로블록 모드를 선택하는데 있어서 율-왜곡 최적화 (Rate-distortion optimization) 기법을 이용한다. 결과적으로 높은 부호화 효율을 제공함과 동시에 복잡도 역시 상당히 증가하였다. 본 논문에서는 화면 내 부호화 모드들에서 나타나는 주파수 특성의 제약 조건들을 이용하여 고속 화면 내 모드 선택 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 영상의 주파수 해석을 통해 H.264/AVC의 화면 내 모드 별 특성을 살펴본다. 다음 제안하는 주파수 에러 비용 (Frequency Error Cost, FEC)을 계산하여 최소 비용을 가지는 모드와 그 주변 모드 2개만을 후보 모드로 선택하고 후보 모드의 율-왜곡 비용만을 계산하여 최적의 화면 내 모드를 결정하여 복잡도를 감소시킨다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 H.264/AVC와 비교하여 비슷한 율-왜곡 성능을 보이면서 복잡도를 상당히 감소시킴을 보여준다.

Frequency is an important operating parameter of a power system. Electric power systems sustain transient frequency swings whenever the balance between generation and load does not no longer hold. To cope with this constraints, it requires an accurate and high speedy frequency deviation estimation technique and suitable adjustment to obtain the Power system energy balance. This paper describes a digital signal processing technique for measuring the operating frequency of a power system. The fundamental frequency component of 3-phase signal is first extracted by using an algorithm based on FIR filter. The rate change of the phase angle is used for estimation. To confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm, the simulation studies carried out on a typical 154KV double T/L system by using EMTP software. Some test results are presented in the paper.
