Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between noise awareness, hearing ability, and dental hygiene performance in dental hygienists. Methods: The subjects were 234 dental hygienists in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon. The questionnaire consisted of 3 questions of general characteristics of the subjects, 1 question of noise awareness, 3 questions of hearing ability, 5 questions of dental hygiene performance, 1 question of noise reduction necessity, and 2 questions of noise control. Noise awareness, dental hygiene performance, and noise reduction necessity were measured by Likert 5 scale. Cronbach's alpha was 0.825 in dental hygiene performance reliability. Results: There was a significant difference in noise recognition by age(p<0.01) and working career(p<0.05). Those who pumped up the higher TV volume accounted for 31.6% and 3.0% had hearing impairment in the regular health checkup. 3.4% of the respondents complained of hearing loss, ear fluid, and equilibrium problem diagnosed by the doctors. The relationship between the type of workplace environment and task performance showed a significant difference. Those who work in the dental hospitals had high score of 3.43, while those who work in dental clinics had 3.20(p<0.05). The increased level of noise recognition affected the task performance and it is necessary to reduce the noise level. More try must be focused on the noise exposure prevention. Conclusions: In order to reduce the problems due to noise and improve their quality of life, it is necessary to change the noise recognition in the work place.

Noise pollution, especially road traffic noise-in terms of population exposure-has become a major problem in Seoul. However, although noise can be sensed directly, it is considered somewhat less important compared to other environmental pollutions. In this study, we chose nine districts in Seoul and distributed a questionnaire containing 23 questions in related to the awareness of noise pollution for 950 people living in Seoul. The results were analyzed according to the citizens' awareness on the whole, age, occupation, and were compared to the actual noise level measured by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The analysis of the questionnarie show that road traffic noise is considered to be the main source of noise pollution in Seoul. People think that the individual and the Seoul Metropolitan Government are most responsible for the noise reduction in Seoul, but replies only little effort is put into when asked whether one has made any personal effort to reduce noise. We have concluded that noise pollution is not considered a hazardous problem to most Seoul citizens, and that most of them seem to be used to it. Yet, specific noise reduction policies, especially road traffic noise, are expected to take effect as quality of life is pursued due to economic enhancement.

근래에 위치 정보를 이용하는 위치기반서비스는 많은 분야에서 이용되고 있다. 그에 따라 위치인식 기법들에 대해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 다양한 위치인식 시스템 중 TOA(Time of Arrival)이나 TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival)와 같은 시간 기반 위치인식 알고리즘을 사용하는 위치인식 시스템에서는 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise)와 다중경로에 의한 왜곡이 위치인식 성능의 저하를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이런 성능 저하를 극복하기 위해서 여러 개의 펄스를 평균하는 방법으로 잡음을 제거한다. 그리고 임계값 설정을 통해 직선 경로 신호를 검출함으로써 위치인식 성능을 향상시키는 기법에 대해 연구하였다.

Radar sensors are used for space situational awareness (SSA) to determine collision risk and detect re-entry of space objects. The capability of SSA radar system includes radar sensitivity such as the detectable radar cross-section as a function of range and tracking capability to indicate tracking time and measurement errors. The time duration of the target staying in a range cell is short; therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio cannot be improved through the pulse integration method used in pulse-Doppler signal processing. In this study, a method of improving the signal-to-noise ratio during range migration is presented. The improved detection performance from signal processing gains realized in this study can be used as a basis for comprehensively designing an SSA radar system.

사용자의 행동 추론에서는 수신된 센서 데이터의 신뢰성이 중요하다. 하지만 외 내부 환경, 온도, 진동 등에 따라 센서의 측정값이 달라진다. 이러한 잡음 환경은 센서로부터 수집되는 정보의 신뢰성에 영향을 준다. 때문에 잡음을 감소시키고 사용자의 행동을 추론하는 디지털 필터와 추론 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 연구는 사용자 행동의 잡음 제거, 왜곡 방지로 칼만 필터와 지수 가중이동 평균 필터의 비교실험을 하였다. 또한 본 제안된 확장가중 이중필터 법과 비교하였다. 결과적으로 제안된 필터가 다른 필터에 비해 잡음 환경에 견고하였다.

This study was concentrated on the development of the effective noise environmental education program(NEEP) for elementary student. And through this program, the student who is remaining as a spector or has not active attitude for noise problems will be encouraged to solve the troubles spontaneously. The object of this study was the two classes in H elementary school where is near to the Daegu international airport. One class that is a group for experiment has five NEEP lessons during five weeks in the time for the creative discretional activities. The other class, which was compared with the experimental group was given no lessons. NEEP was made on the bases that are the contents related with noise in 7th elementary education policy and the data developed by previous researchers. This program is containing basic concepts for noise and the effects of noise problems on human body or studying in class. And after using NEEP, students became more sensitive for noise environments than previous. And also students showed the positive attitude for solving noise troubles. It was meaningful in the level of p<.001 that the result of noise knowledge and awareness in the pre-post test within experiment group. However, all of the results in comparison group didn't represent statistically meaningful difference. And there were meaningful differences between experiment and comparison group after carrying out NEEP. In the area of noise knowledge and awareness, there were clearly meaningful results in the level of p<.001. Although the difference in noise attitude was a little, it was analyzed to have not a meaningful result. What suggested for researches in future are as follows. First, because until now the concrete research for the elementary student who exposed to noise and experienced a difficulty in hearing is deficient, many studies are needed. Second, NEEP with more lessons is required because the change of effective attitude needs long term. Third, due to the student who exposed to noise generally has low ability for concentration, NEEP compensated with activities is needed.

본 논문에서는 다양한 잡음 환경에서 음성향상을 위한 Minimum Statistics (MS) 잡음전력 추정 기법을 제시한다. 기존의 방법에서는 최소값 추적을 위해서 유한한 서치 (search)윈도우를 사용하여 최적으로 신호의 파워 스펙트럼을 수무딩하고 최소 확률을 적용하는 것을 기본으로 한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 최소값 서치 윈도우가 다양한 잡음 환경에 상관없이 고정된 사이즈를 사용하는 것에 환경인식 정보를 적용하여 서치 윈도우 사이즈가 Gaussian mixture model(GMM)기반의 잡음 분류 알고리즘을 이용한 결과 값의 비교로 잡음 환경에 따라 변화 하도록 한다. 제안된 음성 향상 기법은 ITU-T P.862 perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ)를 이용하여 평가하였고 기존의 MS방법보다 향상된 결과를 보였다.

Community noise has been great concerned in public. The traffic noise in seoul, especially has been growing awareness for the quiet living environment. In this paper, the effect on the noise barrier in order to reduce highway noise near on the street has been examined. First barriers have been evaluated at 5 locations in the city. The evaluation is performed before and after construction, with the reference point which does not affected on road traffic volume. Then, noise reducers mounted on the harriers also have been examined. the result shows that it reduces noise level by $3{\sim}3.5dB(A)$ with a standard deviation of 2.8 dB(A).

The people who are in the noise factory are difficult to hear and recognize about fire and to evacuate quickly when a fire occurs. This study was conducted to analyze workplace's background noise of 31 factories in Incheon and to know the workplace noise level comparing to fire alarm sound level. The measured average noise level was 96.8dB(A). Noise level of measured result was exceeded as 6.8dB(A) comparing to NFSC (National Fire Safety Code) noise level of 90dB. NFPA suggests that when background noise exceeds 85dB or more than that, other methods should be considered to know alarm sound. Also fire alarm sound should exceed more than 15dB(A) comparing to background noise level. Therefore it was concluded that the design of the fire alarm systems should not be applied to the workplace without considering background noise and it needs to be improved with regulations and the systems.
