In this paper, we proposed a discriminative adaptation method for PMC algorithm and achieved improved speech recognition rate. For the adaptation, we adopted modified PMC(MPMC) which is a variant of PMC and discriminatively adapted the association factor for each mixture of the HMM in the MPMC. From the recognition experiments, the proposed method showed better recognition rate than the conventional PMC. Also, compared with STAR algorithm which is another model parameter compensation method, the proposed method showed superior performance when the SNR is very low and the adaptation data is not sufficient.

Heat of hydration of concrete under different curing temperatures can be characterized with knowledge of the thermal activity, the heat rate at the reference temperature, and the total heat of hydration of the mixture. The so-called multi-component hydration model incorporates the effect of following variables: cement chemical composition, cement fineness, secondary cementitious powders, mixture proportions, and concrete properties. However, the model does not consider the use of silica fume as a secondary cementitious powder. Therefore, the model that quantifies the heat of hydration due to the use of silica fume is needed. In this thesis, the effects of silica fume on heat of hydration are evaluated and the influence on the heat of hydration are also quantified to be included in the model, so that the analysis using modified multi-component hydration model for silica fume concrete provides more accurate results than normal concrete.

The transported probability density function(PDF) model has been applied to simulate the turbulent nonpremixed piloted jet flame. To realistically account for the mixture fraction PDF informations on the turbulent non-premixed jet flame, the present Lagrangian PDF transport approach is based on the joint velocity-composition-turbulence frequency PDF formulation. The fluctuating velocity of stochastic fields is modeled by simplified Langevin model(SLM), turbulence frequency of stochastic fields is modeled by Jayesh-Pope model and effects of molecular diffusion are represented by the interaction by exchange with the mean (IEM) mixing model. To validate the present approach, the numerical results obtained by the joint velocity-composition-turbulence frequency PDF model are compared with experimental data in terms of the unconditional and conditional means of mixture fraction, temperature and species and PDFs.

This paper deals with a prediction method for the condensation of ternary refrigerant mixture inside a horizontal smooth tube. Based on some reliable assumptions, the governing equations for the local heat and mass transfer characteristics are derived, and the prediction for the condensation of ternary zeotropic refrigerant mixtures composed of HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a, including R407C, is carried out. The local values of vapor quality, thermodynamic states at bulk vapor, vapor-liquid interface and bulk liquid, mass flux etc. are obtained for a constant wall temperature and a constant wall heat flux conditions, and the effects of the composition of HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a on heat transfer characteristics are examined. The prediction result is also compared with experimental data for condensation of ternary refrigerant mixtures. The predicted wall temperature distribution has a similar trend with experimental data but the predicted local heat transfer coefficients are 20-30% higher than the experimental data.

A mushy layer of dendritic crystals is often formed during solidification of a binary mixture. Natural convection in the mushy layer is analyzed by using the propagation theory we have developed. The critical Rayleigh numbers for the onset of convection are evaluated numerically using the self-similar stability equations based on Emms and Fowler's model. The present results approach those from quasi-static stability analysis in the limit of a large superheat or a small growth rate of the mushy layer.

General speaker verification systems improve their recognition performances by normalizing log likelihood ratio, using a speaker model and its background speaker model that are required to be verified. So these systems rely heavily on the availability of much speaker independent databases for background speaker model design. This constraint, however, may be a burden in practical and portable devices such as palm-top computers or wireless handsets which place a premium on computations and memory. In this paper, new approach for the GMM-based background model design used in portable speaker verification system is presented when the enrollment data is available. This approach is to modify three parameters of GMM speaker model such as mixture weights, means and covariances along with reduced mixture order. According to the experiment on a 20 speaker population from YOHO database, we found that this method had a promise of effective use in a portable speaker verification system.

Cavitating flow is widely shown in many engineering systems, such as marine propellers, pump impellers, nozzles, injectors, torpedoes, etc. The present work focuses on the numerical analysis of the multiphase flow around the underwater vehicle which was launched from a submarine. The governing equation is the Navier-Stokes equation with a homogeneous mixture mode. The multiphase flow solver uses an implicit preconditioning scheme in curvilinear coordinate. For the code validation, the results from the present work are compared with the existing experimental and numerical results, and a reasonably good agrements are obtained. The multiphase flow around an underwater vehicle is simulated which includes submarine wake effects.

중저해상도 광학영상의 순간시야각(instantaneous filed of view -IFOV)에 포함되는 공간에는 반사특성이 상이한 두 개 이상의 지표물이 존재하는 경우가 대부분이다. 영상분류와 같은 기존의 영상처리기법에서는 하나의 화소가 단일의 지표물을 대표한다는 가정에서 접근하였으나, 최근 화소의 혼합정도를 세분하는 분광혼합분석(spectral mixture analysis)기법이 개발되고 있다. 분광혼합분석법을 이용하여 혼합된 화소에 포함된 지표물을 분해(unmixing) 하고 그 효과를 분석하고자 하여 경기도 광릉국립수목원의 시험림 지역을 대상으로 Landsat-7 ETM＋영상을 이용하여 선형혼합 모델을 적용하였고, 그 결과 각각의 화소를 6개의 End-member의 혼합비로 구분하였다. Endmember의 비율을 나타낸 영상을 분석하여 점유비율에 따른 활엽수와 침엽수의 구분을 할 수 있었고, 각 임상별의 특징도 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 침엽수의 경우 그림자의 효과가 높다는 특성도 파악 할 수 있었다. 분광혼합분석법은 기존의 전통 분류방법과는 달리 다양한 산림의 정보를 추출해 낼 수 있다.

A permanent deformation model was developed in this study based on the shear properties of asphalt mixtures such as cohesion and friction angle. Triaxial compressive strength (TCS) and repeated load permanent deformation (RLPD) tests on the three types of asphalt mixtures are performed at various loading and temperature conditions to correlate shear properties of asphalt mixtures to rutting performance. It is observed from the tests results that the ratio of shear stress to strength accurately identifies the mixture rutting performance. It could take care of not only mixture types but also load and temperature conditions dependences. Three different versions of the permanent deformation model based on different input levels are proposed and verified using the tests data. The proposed model based on the ratio of shear stress to strength can successfully predict the permanent deformation of various asphalt mixtures all the way up to the 10% of permanent strain including all three stages of permanent deformation in a wide range of loading and temperature conditions without changing model coefficients.

Supercavitating torpedo uses the supercavitation technology that can reduce dramatically the skin friction drag. The present work focuses on the numerical analysis of the non-condensable cavitating flow around the supercavitating torpedo. The governing equations are the Navier-Stokes equations based on the homogeneous mixture model. The cavitation model uses a new cavitation model which was developed by Merkle(2006). The multiphase flow solver uses an implicit preconditioning scheme in curvilinear coordinates. The ventilated cavitation is implemented by non-condensable gas injection on backward of cavitator cone and the base of the torpedo. The comparison between the without and with ventilated cavitation numerical results, with ventilated cavitation using non-condensable gas injection is more efficient method.
