  • An analytic nodal expansion method has been derived for the multigroup neutron diffusion equation in 2-D cylindrical(R-Z) coordinate. In this method we used the second order Legendre polynomials for source, and transverse leakage, and then the diffusion eqaution was solved analytically. This formalism has been applied to 2-D LWR model. $textsc{k}$$_{eff}$, power distribution, and computing time have been compared with those of ADEP code(finite difference method). The benchmark showed that the analytic nodal expansion method in R-Z coordinate has good accuracy and quite faster than the finite difference method. This is another merit of using R-Z coordinate in that the transverse integration over surfaces is better than the linear integration over length. This makes the discontinuity factor useless.s.

  • 음성 DB는 음성학, 음성인식, 음성합성 등을 연구할 때 가장 기본적으로 필요한 요소이다. 음성 DB의 양과 질이 개발하고자하는 시스템의 성능을 좌우한다고 할 정도로 음성 DB의 중요성 및 역할은 막중하다. 최근 음성포탈을 비롯한 다양한 전화 서비스 기술의 발달로 인하여 전화 음성 DB 수집의 필요성이 시급한 상황이다. 기존 CTI 분야의 IVR 애플리케이션 전화음성 DB 수집 시스템은 C/C++언어나 전용 개발 도구를 사용하여 이루어져 왔으며, 이로 인하여 각 응용서비스간 자원의 재활용이 어려운 실정이며 많은 인력과 시간을 필요하다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, VoiceXML의 전화 음성 DB 수집시스템은 XML에 내포된 태그형식을 갖는 언어로써 쉽고, 간단한 문법체계를 가지고 있어 조금만 노력을 기울이면 손쉽게 작성할 수 있어 인력과 시간을 절약할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 단지 웹서버에 연결된 DB의 내용만을 변경함으로써 다양한 전화 음성 DB를 수집할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 음성인식이나 음성합성 등 음성정보처리기술의 개발에 가장 중요한 요소인 음성 DB를 Voiceful을 사용하여 전화 음성 DB를 수집하는 시스템을 소개한다.

  • Records taken on 372 young beef bulls tested at the Ellerslie Bull Test Station, Alberta, Canada from November 1981 to April 1987 were analyzed to quantify the effects of age of dam, on-test age, on-test liveweight and herd of origin of bull on feed efficiency (feed/gain, kg/kg) in the test period (n = 231) and ultrasonic measurement of bakcfat thickness (mm) at the end of the test (n = 372). The reduction in $R^2$ due to each influencing factor (i.e. the variation accounted for by the factor) was used to indicate the importance of the influencing factor. Age of dam and on-test age of bull were not important factors on feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, as they accounted for less than 0.5% of the variation in feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, respectively (p > 0.1). On-test liveweight had some influence on feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, accounting for 3.5% (p < 0.01) and 0.4% (p < 0.05) of the total variation, respectively. The regression coefficients of feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness on on-test liveweight were 0.016 (kg/kg)/kg and .013 mm/kg, respectively, both being significant (p < 0.05), indicating that lighter bulls entering the test were generally more efficient in feed utilization in the test period and had less backfat at the end of the test than heavier entering bulls. Herd of origin of bull accounted for a substantial amount of the total variation (> 16%) in feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness (p = 0.08), indicating that a prolonged aqjustment period was needed to reduce the influence of herd of origin when assessing aggregate genetic merit of beef bulls for growth rate, feed efficiency and lean meat production using a central station performance testing program.

  • In this paper a novel approach is proposed to address the problem of deriving non-stationary stochastic processes which are compatible in the mean sense with a given (target) response (uniform hazard) spectrum (UHS) as commonly desired in the aseismic structural design regulated by contemporary codes of practice. The appealing feature of the approach is that it is non-iterative and "one-step". This is accomplished by solving a standard over-determined minimization problem in conjunction with appropriate median peak factors. These factors are determined by a plethora of reported new Monte Carlo studies which on their own possess considerable stochastic dynamics merit. In the proposed approach, generation and treatment of samples of the processes individually on a deterministic basis is not required as is the case with the various "two-step" approaches found in the literature addressing the herein considered task. The applicability and usefulness of the approach is demonstrated by furnishing extensive numerical data associated with the elastic design UHS of the current European (EC8) and the Chinese (GB 50011) aseismic code provisions. Purposely, simple and thus attractive from a practical viewpoint, uniformly modulated processes assuming either the Kanai-Tajimi (K-T) or the Clough-Penzien (C-P) spectral form are employed. The Monte Carlo studies yield damping and duration dependent median peak factor spectra, given in a polynomial form, associated with the first passage problem for UHS compatible K-T and C-P uniformly modulated stochastic processes. Hopefully, the herein derived stochastic processes and median peak factor spectra can be used to facilitate the aseismic design of structures regulated by contemporary code provisions in a Monte Carlo simulation-based or stochastic dynamics-based context of analysis.

  • The major error factors that degrade the efficiency of coherent beam combining (CBC) are numerically studied in a comprehensive manner, paying particular attention to phase, tip-tilt, polarization angle, and beam quality. The power in the bucket (PIB), normalized to the zero-error PIB, is used as a figure of merit to quantify the effect of each error factor. To maintain a normalized PIB greater than or equal to 95% in a 3-channel CBC configuration, the errors in phase, tip-tilt, and polarization angle should be less than 1.06 radians, 1.25 ㎛, and 1.06 radians respectively, when each of the three parameters is calculated independently with the other two set to zero. In a worst-case scenario of the composite errors within the parameter range for the independent-95%-normalized-PIB condition, the aggregate effect would reduce the normalized PIB to 83.8%. It is noteworthy that the PIB performances of a CBC system, depending on phase and polarization-angle errors, share the same characteristic feature. A statistical approach for each error factor is also introduced, to assess a CBC system with an extended number of channels. The impact of the laser's beam-quality factor M2 on the combining efficiency is also analyzed, based on a super-Gaussian beam. When M2 increases from 1 to 1.3, the normalized PIB is reduced by 2.6%, 11.8%, 12.8%, and 13.2% for a single-channel configuration and 3-, 7-, and 19-channel CBC configurations respectively. This comprehensive numerical study is expected to pave the way for advances in the evaluation and design of multichannel CBC systems and other related applications.

  • 본 연구에서는 압전 변압기를 이용한 T5 28급 전자식 안정기를 제작하여 그에 관한 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 전자식 안정기는 크게 정류부와 능동형 역률 개선 회로부, 마이크로 컨트롤러를 이용한 주파수 발진부와 피드백 제어 회로부, 그리고 하프-브리지 인버터 회로 및 압전 변압기포 구성하였다. 사용된 원칩 마이크로 컨트롤러(AT90S4433)는 주파수를 발진하는 발진 회로부와 형광램프에 인가된 전류값을 측정하여 램프의 구동여부를 판단하는 피드백 제어 회로부로 구성하였으며, 내부 프로그램에 의해 일정 주파수에서 주파수를 감소시킴으로서 램프 방전을 유도하고 방전을 확인 후 정상상태 구동을 하는 주파수 대포의 이동을 통해 형광램프에 일정한 출력을 유지하였다. 결과적으로 개발된 전자식 안정기는 기존의 자기식 안정기가 무겁고 부피가 크며 많은 손실과 깜박거림(Flicker)현상을 지니는 반면에, 75[kHz]대의 고주파수로 동작하면서 99.5[%]이상의 높은 역률과 12[%]이하의 낮은 총 고조파 왜곡률(THD), 그리고 1.5이하의 CF(Crest Factor)를 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제작된 압전형 안정기근 기존의 안정기를 대체할 수 있으며, 소형 경량화 되고 높은 효율을 지니게 되므로 경제적 측면에서의 장점도 기대된다.

  • The purpose of this paper was to study on the attitudes about Reverse-Mortgage among Baby Boomers to offer the basis for revitalization of Reverse-Mortgage. Social survey research using a questionnaire was conducted among the babyboomer's living in Seoul area from September $30^{th}$ to October $14^{th}$. The data from 102 respondents were analyzed using SPSS PASW 18.0. The main findings were as followings 1) although 64% of the respondents prefered to type which could withdraw temporary cash, but main factor that affected the use was a stability in one's old age 2) 72% of respondents thought adequate age for application was over 66. So lowering the qualification of age looked not need for revitalization 3) babyboomer's said that they would use reverse-mortgage if they couldn't get benefit from other pension inspite of getting lower recognition on house inheritance. It was be cause they regarded Reverse-Mortgage as a final step. In conclusion, current qualification and limit for withdraw looks adequate but it need public relations about its merit unlike other pension. And it has to emphasize its stability so that baby boomer can feel easy from holding a mortgage on their house.
