This paper dells with the impedance variations of the IMPATT diode depending upon the small a.c. coomponent superimposed on the d.c. bias. The frequency deviation of the modulated wave is measured using a carrier null method on microwave spectrum analyser. Frequency modulation is achieved by the weack a.c. signal superimposed on the d.c. bias. The bandwidth rapidly increase with increasing modulation signal magnitude for constant modulation frquency and slightly decrease with decreasing modulation frequency for constant modulation signal magnitude.

In this paper, frame rate up conversion (FRUC) algorithm considering the direction and magnitude of identical motion vectors is proposed. extended bilateral motion estimation (EBME) has higher complexity than bilateral motion estimation (BME). By using average magnitude of motion vector with x and y direction respectively, dynamic frame and static frame are decided. We reduce complexity to decide EBME. also, After we compare the direction and magnitude of identical motion vectors, We reduce complexity to decide motion vector smoothing(MVS). Experimental results show that this proposed algorithm has fast computation and better peak singnal to noise ratio(PSNR) results compared with EBME.

There are few earthquake records in Korea and the Japanese or American representative earthquake records have been generally used in the seismic design. In this study, some earthquake records which the range of earthquake magnitudes varies from 5.3 to 7.9 were collected and analyzed to assess which record can rationally reflect Korean seismic characteristics. In this assessment, each seismic energy and acceleration spectrum were analyzed with the unified maximum ground acceleration. Several numerical analyses on Korean representative caisson structures were also carried out to compare each dynamic displacement. In these numerical analyses, soil conditions and the dimension of structure such as height and width were changed. Through this assessment, it is found that the compatible earthquake magnitude in Korea is lower than 7. From the result of numerical analyses, it is shown that horizontal dynamic displacements corresponding to earthquake magnitudes over than 7 are quite larger than those below earthquake magnitude 7. Based on this study, it is necessary that Korean seismic design guideline will refer earthquake magnitude criteria for the construction of the economical aseismic structure.

We calculate moment magnitudes of earthquakes occurred in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula from January, 2001 to February, 2004 and compare them with local magnitudes published by KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) and KIGAM(Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources). From this study, we find that local magnitudes of KIGAM have higher correlation with moment magnitudes than local magnitudes of KMA have. We induce a proper conversion formula by analyzing relation between published local magnitudes and calculated moment magnitudes. The induced formula can be used to unify kinds of magnitudes in earthquake catalogues and unified earthquake catalogues can be applied as necessary factors for analyzing earthquake characteristics, seismic hazards or attenuation formulas in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

The objectives of this study were to research the power structure of the conjugal decision making process between husbands and wives and how to go about analyzing these processes. Furthermore, to statistically survey the similarities the differences of these between the Japanese and Korean cultures. The subjects of the study were women over the age of 20. The Korean wives resided in Taegu, the Japanese wives in Kobe. The questionnaire destributed to these subjects was bi-lingual in both Korean and Japanese. The data results are as follows : The frequency of negotiation was highest when the wife conceived an idealistic balance in the magnitude of authority arld control between she and her husband. On average, those wives who make decisions their husbands through negotiation do not have as high of a magnitude of control and authority as their husbands. These women idealistically believe that a balance of magnitude and authority exists between them and their husbands. On the other hand, in relationships where decisions are made without negotiation, the magnitude of the wife's authority increases as she idealistically perceives herself as being more powerful than her husband.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of patient's actual cost-sharing for hospital services in the National Health Insurance which has been estimated with only a few hospitals or limited number of patients. Also we aimed at analysis of factors influencing the magnitude. Sources of analyzed data were two databases. 1997 medical benefits record of the National Federation of Medical Insurance and 1997 Statistics for Hospital Management from the Korea Institute of Health Services Management(KIHM). We merged two databases and related records for 224 hospitals. based on the identification details of each hospital. The average percent of patients' cost-sharing was 51.7% of total hospital revenues from the insurance. with 40.3% of revenue in inpatient and 67.4% in outpatient. respectively. The contributing hospital factors to the magnitude of cost-sharing were size of hospitals. teaching status. location. number of employed physicians. etc. Larger and university hospital. urban location. and with more physicians were positively correlated with higher level of cost-sharing. Additionally, the higher the expenses of inpatient's treatment was, the higher the size of patient's cost-sharing was. These findings suggest that present level of patients' cost-sharing is quitely high and it is urgent to reduce the patient's cost-sharing to the reasonable level. It would be necessary to extend the coverage of insurance benefits and to develop policies focusing on larger hospitals and inpatient services.

This paper presents new methods to resolve the important limits in the decoupled UPFC model for power flow, by which conventional power flow program can be performed with addition of two buses per one UPFC. In order to operate UPFC to the desired value, the series voltage and shunt current of UPFC should be computed. So a method of calculating these by simple equations after power flow is derived. However, the calculated magnitude of series voltage and/or shunt current of UPFC may not be allowed because of the UPFC limit \ulcorner to the ratings of inverters. In this case, the active power and the reactive power (or the voltage magnitude) of UPFC buses should be revised to resolve the limit. This paper proposes the Newton Raphson method to resolve these limits. Particularly, when resolving the series voltage magnitude, three strategies are proposed according to the priority of the active power and the reactive power (or the voltage magnitude).

It is proposed to use a pair of frequency-domain adaptive digital filters to estimate the magnitude squared coherence (MSC) functions of two signals. Such a method requires less computations than the LMS-MSC algorithm in which the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is applied in the time domain to compute the coefficients of a pair of adaptive digital filters. The frequency-domain adaptive digital filtering algorithms considered in this paper include the constrained frequency domain LMS (CFLMS) and the unconstrained frequency domain LMS (UFLMS) algorithms. The performance of the proposed methods are compared with those of the LMS-MSC algorithm.

Objectives This study is on the quantifying method for the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index, which are based on the some definitions. Methods The magnitude of the acupuncture-moxa cautery is defined by the pain-feeling of the acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulation: the stimulation magnitude of the acupuncture is 1, that of the direct moxa-cautery is 2, and that of the indirect moxa-cautery is 0.5. The heat variation of the acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulation is defined by the heat variations of the characteristic points pre/post-stimulations in the stenosis of the lumber. The acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index is defined by the ratio of between the magnitude of the heat variation and the natural logarithmic magnitude of the stimulation. Results With the respect of the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index, I experimented and estimated 4 types of stimulations in the stenosis of the lumber: the single acupuncture stimulation with 40%, the single direct moxa-cautery stimulation with 52%, the combinational acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulations with 27%, and the combinational acupuncture-indirect electronic moxa-cautery stimulations with 53%. Conclusions According to the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index. the combinational acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulations especially need to be changed to the combinational acupuncture-indirect electronic moxa-cautery stimulations.

Driving Waveform of AC PDP in reset periode is increased and decreased with constant slope to improve dark room contrast ratio and image quality. But the slope and magnitude of ramp waveform are related to strong and weak discharge with temperature change in AC PDP. So this paper proposes a methods of changing the slope and magnitude of ramp waveform during reset periode according to temperature change in AC PDP. Experimental variable factors ire chosen to setup slope, setdown slope, and -Vy voltage magnitude in Y sustain electrode. The proposed methods are expected to compensate for effect of the temperature change, causing misfiring in high and low temprature, with varing the slope and magnitude of ramp voltage during reset period and improve image quality.
