The spectrum efficiency of mobile communication networks can be improved dramatically adopting multiple antennas technologies. In order to guarantee the licensed rights of primary user (PU), the cognitive radio system should perform in a relatively low interference manner when it gets access to the spectrum of licensed networks. In this paper, we explore a uniformly distributed circular antenna array to implement beamforming algorithm that is accomplished by optimization method at the base station of cognitive radio networks, and therefore we can suppress the interference to PU by steering quite low transmission power toward PU and constructing a narrow beam toward cognitive user (CU). By reducing the constraint number of the optimization problem, we also propose a null steering algorithm that steers rather low radiation power toward PU, while the other areas in the same cell are covered by radiation power except the local area around PU. It is pursued to reduce the computation load and enlarge the capacity of cognitive radio networks extremely. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms process superior performance.

Progressive collapse, which is referred to as the collapse of the entire building under local damages, is a common failure mode happened by earthquakes. The collapse process highly depends on the whole structural system. Since, asymmetry of the building plan leads to the local damage concentration; it may intensify the progressive collapse mechanism of asymmetric buildings. In this research the progressive collapse of regular and irregular 6-story RC ordinary moment resisting frame buildings are studied in the presence of the earthquake loads. Collapse process and collapse propagation are investigated using nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) in buildings with 5%, 15% and 25% mass asymmetry with respect to the number of collapsed hinges and story drifts criteria. Results show that increasing the value of mass eccentricity makes the asymmetric buildings become unstable earlier and in the early stages with lower number of the collapsed hinges. So, with increasing the mass eccentricity in building, instability and collapse of the entire building occurs earlier, with lower potential of the progressive collapse. It is also demonstrated that with increasing the mass asymmetry the decreasing trend of the number of collapsed beam and column hinges is approximately similar to the decreasing trend in the average story drifts of the mass centers and stiff edges. So, as an alternative to a much difficult-to-calculate local response parameter of the number of collapsed hinges, the story drift, as a global response parameter, measures the potential of progressive collapse more easily.

There has been an increasing trend toward the use of pushover analysis as a tool for evaluating the seismic resistant and safety of a building structure in the performance based earthquake engineering field. The ATC-40 document proposed a nonlinear static procedure based on the Capacity Spectrum Method to determine earthquake-induced demand given the structure pushover curve, which a curve representing base shear versus roof displacement. However, the procedure is conceptually simple, iterative and time consuming method and may sometimes lead to no solution or multiple solutions. A new improved method of seismic performance evaluation for moment frame building, which take into account the previously mentioned deficiencies of currently used elastic design procedures, is presented in this paper. The results of nonlinear static and nonlinear time history analysis of an example high-rise steel moment frame designed by the proposed method are presented and discussed.

Recently, the concept of damped outrigger system has been proposed for tall buildings. But, structural characteristics and design method of this system were not sufficiently investigated to date. In this study, the dynamic response control performance of outrigger damper has been analyzed. To this end, a simplified analysis model with outrigger damper system has been developed. An artificial wind of 1000 seconds with 0.1 second time steps was generated by using a Kaimal spectrum. Analysis results show that outrigger damper system is more effective up to 20-23% in the control of dynamic response compared to conventional outrigger system. The increase of outrigger damper capacity usually results in the improved control performance. However, it is necessary to select that proper stiffness and damping values of the outrigger damper system because, the outrigger damper having large capacity is result in heavy financial burden.

Current seismic fragility functions for buildings were developed by defining damage state threshold based on story drift concerning foreign references and using the capacity spectrum method based on spectral displacement. In this study, insufficient details and dependence on the core location of piloti-type buildings were not reflected in the fragility function because it was developed before the Pohang earthquake. In order to develop an improved one for piloti-type buildings, several types of core were selected, damage state threshold was determined based on the capacity of structural members, and three-dimensional analyses were utilized. As a result, seismic fragility functions based on spectral acceleration were developed for various core locations and different shear strengths of the column stirrup. The fragility of piloti-type buildings significantly varied according to core location, an additional single wall, and whether the contribution of column stirrup was included or not. To estimate fragility more reasonably, it is necessary to prepare the parameters to reflect actual state well.

음성인식에 있어서 문제점의 하나는 발성자에 따른 주파수 변동문제이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 음성 신호의 주파수 특성의 변동에 따른 영향을 해결하기 위하여 fuzzy 이론을 도입하였다. 여기서 표준패턴은 음성신호의 대표적인 특징들을 포함하고 있어야 하므로, 먼저 여러 화자가 발성한 단어들을 벡터 양자화한 코드북을 생성하였으며, 이코드북으로 부터 추출한 피크 주파수와 피크 에너지를 fuzzy화 패턴으로 작성하였다. 입력 음성신호로 부터 추출한 특징량인 스펙트럼의 피크 주파수와 피크에너지를 각각 멤버쉽 함수로 표현하여 fuzzy 추론에 의한 단어인식을 하였다. 실제 확신도 계산에 있어서는 계산량을 줄이기 위하여 fuzzy 값의 차만으로 확신도를 구하는 개선 확신도를 제안하여 사용하였다. 한국어 숫자음을 인식 실험한 결과 주파수 특성의 변동에 따른 영향을 해결할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 제안된 개선 확신도 계산방법에 의해서 기억용량과 계산량을 감소 시킬 수 있었다.

This study investigates the prediction of soil chemical properties (organic matter (OM), pH, Ca, Mg, K, Na, total acidity, cation exchange capacity (CEC)) on 688 Korean soil samples using the visible-near infrared reflectance (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy. Reflectance from the visible to near-infrared spectrum (350 to 2500 nm) was acquired using the ASD Field Spec Pro. A total of 688 soil samples from 168 soil profiles were collected from 2009 to 2011. The spectra were resampled to 10 nm spacing and converted to the 1st derivative of absorbance (log (1/R)), which was used for predicting soil chemical properties. Principal components analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLSR) and regression rules model (Cubist) were applied to predict soil chemical properties. The regression rules model (Cubist) showed the best results among these, with lower error on the calibration data. For quantitatively determining OM, total acidity, CEC, a VIS-NIR spectroscopy could be used as a routine method if the estimation quality is more improved.

The physico-chemical and texture characteristics of meat determine the nutritional, technological and sensory quality. However, the analysis of meat quality requires expensive, laborious and time consuming analytical methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate NIR spectroscopy using transmittance for determining the moisture, fat, protein and total pigment content, the water holding capacity (WHC) and the toughness of beef meat. A total of 318 spectra were recorded from ground beef samples by a Feed Analyzer 1265 of Infratec. The samples were obtained from the Longissimus muscle of the 10$^{th}$ rib of yearling bulls, ground with an electrical chopper, vacuum packaged, aged during 7 days and frozen at -24$^{\circ}C$ until the analyses were done. Moisture content was measured by oven drying at 10$0^{\circ}C$, fat content was determined by Soxhlet extraction and protein content was estimated from nitrogen content using the Kjeldahl analysis. The total pigment content was determined by the method of Hornsey and the WHC using the method of filter paper press. The instrumental evaluation of texture (maximum load WB, maximum stress MS and toughness) was conducted in an Instron equipment with a Warner-Bratzler shearing device. This analysis was performed on a chop of 3.5 cm obtained from the longissimus of the 8$^{th}$ rib, aged during 7 days, kept frozen at -24$^{\circ}C$ and cooked before the analysis. Near infrared spectra were recorded as log 1/T (T=transmittance) at 2 nm intervals from 850 to 1050 nm using a Feed Analyzer 1265 of Infratec. Calibrations were performed with the WinISI software (vs. 1.02) using the MPLS method. To examine the effect of scatter correction o. derivation of spectra on the calibration performance, calibrations were calculated with the crude spectra or pretreated with different mathematical treatments (inverse MSC, SNVD) and/or second derivative operation. For chemical composition, the use of the scatter corrections improved the calibration statistics, in terms of lower SECV and higher $r^2$. In most of the variables, the use of the 2$^{nd}$ derivative improved the predictions, mainly when combined with the SNVD treatment. However, for predicting the texture traits, the best estimation was obtained from the crude spectrum. These results showed that the equations obtained for predicting moisture, fat and total pigments were very accurate, with $r^2$ being higher that 0.9. However, the prediction of the texture traits (WB, MS, toughness) from ground meat was poor.

최근에 지어진 건축물의 경우 지진에 대한 안전성을 확보하고 있지만, 내진설계 도입 이전의 건축물은 지진에 대해 매우 취약하다. 본 연구에서는 내진성능이 부족한 기존 저층 RC구조물의 지진 발생 시 안전성 확보를 위한 내진보강 방안으로 격자강판 전단벽을 제안하고 내진성능평가를 수행하였다. 횡력저항요소로 사용된 격자강판 전단벽의 탄소성 이력특성값은 실험결과를 토대로 횡력저항 기여도등을 평가하여 작성된 이선형곡선을 적용하였다. 비탄성 정적해석을 통해 대상구조물의 성능점을 찾아내어 적용 지진하중에 대한 응답과 성능수준을 평가하였다. 격자강판 전단벽을 적용한 경우, 보강 전에 비하여 응답변위가 약 42% 저감되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 성능점에서 거의 탄성거동을 보여주고 있어 목표성능인 인명안전수준을 만족시켰다. 또한 반응수정계수를 산정하여 내진보강 효과를 검증하였으며, 보강 전과 후에 각각 2.17에서 3.25로 증가하여 설계기준을 초과하였다. 따라서 격자강판 전단벽에 의해 대상 구조물의 강도 및 강성보강이 적절히 수행된 것으로 판단된다.
