This study aimed at providing suggestions in designing open space so that parks and bordering facilities are well related to each other in terms of the visual access and human activities. The design survey was conducted in the center of Osaka City, using parks there as the study material. The relation between parks and their bordering facilities was evaluated in terms of the visual access and human activities. Through the results of this study, as the design methods for improving relations between parks and their bordering facilities, unified design and creation of square in the boundary area between them, placing access paths to facilities in parks, and planting trees to create Vista, Screen, and Framework landscapes are of great importance.

Two-dimensional natural convection in an inclined open cavity with bottom heated, two side insulated and the top open was investigated using PIV(Particle-Image-Velocimetry) measurement. Experimental results are presented for Prandtl number, Pr=6.62, cavity aspect ratio, A=1.0, Rayleigh number from $1.294{\times}10^6\;to\;3.8841{\times}10 ^6$, and inclination angles, ${\alpha}=0$, 30 and 60 deg to the horizontal. It was found that the fluid rises along both side walls in the boundary layer region at ${\alpha}=0\;deg$, and the inclination of the cavity induced flow entrainment. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical results.

This paper proposes an algorithm that automatically converts images into Pipo, painting images using OpenCV-based image processing technology. The existing "purity," "palm," "puzzling," and "painting," or Pipo, painting image production method relies on manual work, so customized production has the disadvantage of coming with a high price and a long production period. To resolve this problem, using the OpenCV library, we developed a technique that automatically converts an image into a Pipo painting image by designing a module that changes an image, like a picture; draws a line based on a sector boundary; and writes sector numbers inside the line. Through this, it is expected that the production cost of customized Pipo painting images will be lowered and that the production period will be shortened.

This study provides a description of the glottal characteristics of the word-initial low vowels /a, $\ae$/ in terms of a set of acoustic parameters and discusses glottal configuration as their acoustic correlates. Furthermore, it examines the effect of prosodic boundary on the glottal properties of the vowels, seeking an account of the possible role of prosodic structure based on prosodic theory. Acoustic parameters reported to indicate glottal characteristics were obtained from the measurements made directly from the speech spectrum on recordings of Korean and English collected from 45 speakers. They consist of two separate groups of native Korean and native English speakers, each including both male and female speakers. Based on the three acoustic parameters of open quotient (OQ), first-formant bandwidth (B1), and spectral tilt (ST), comparisons were made between the speech of males and females, between the speech of native Korean and native English speakers, and between Korean and English produced by native Korean speakers. Acoustic analysis of the experimental data indicates that some or all glottal parameters play a crucial role in differentiating the speech groups, despite substantial interspeaker variations. Statistical analysis of the Korean data indicates prosodic strengthening with respect to the acoustic parameters B1 and OQ, suggesting acoustic enhancement in terms of the degree of glottal abduction and the glottal closure during a vibratory cycle.

The unsteady numerical simulations have been presented for the laminar natural convection in a partially open compartment. Computations were performed within the domain of the compartment in order to show the thermal radiation and the partially opening effects on the flow fields and heat transfer characteristics. The results were shown for different Planck numbers(0.05~5) and opening ratios(0.25~0.75) being fixed with Ra=$10^5$ and Pr=0.71. Considering the flow which is buoyancy driven from the heated wall, and the buoyancy is not much affected by the further outside region from the opening, the numerical computations have been performed without an outer region by the particular boundary treatments on the flow velocity and temperature at the different partial openings. The confined numerical domain reduced the CPU time and the memory of computer. P-1 approximation of radiative transfer equation was employed with Marshak type boundary conditions along with the pseudo-black body approximation at the partial openings. The numerical results clearly show that the natural convective flow and heat transfer are much affected by increase of thermal radiation particularly from the initial state. When thermal radiation is not much affecting the flow ($PL{\le}1$), it was found that thermal radiation effects are almost negligible.

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for acoustic stability in a model combustor. According to standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals are measured. Quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic damping capacity of the resonator is characterized. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution are selected as design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator. Acoustic damping capacity increases as the resonators with diameter increases. The optimum number of resonators or the optimum open-area ratio decreases as boundary absorption decreases.

In this paper, we propose a novel blocking effect reduction method based on a rational B-spline. The blocking effect results from independent coding of each image block and becomes highly visible especially coded at very low bit rates. The proposed approach adopts a rational open uniform B-spline curve that used to produce a smooth curve through a set of control points. The pixels on the block boundary are treated as control points, and the weight values, which decide the shape of curve, are determined differentially by considering the distance the position of the pixels and that of the block boundary. The simulation results show that the proposed method has excellent performance for all pattern of the blocking effect with less computational complexity.

본 연구는 개수로 흐름에서 조류발전단지의 터빈 최적 배열의 거시적 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 천수방정식을 통해 직사각형 개수로의 흐름장을 해석하였고, 상류와 하류단에 대해 각각 유입경계조건(inlet boundary condition)과 Flather 형식의 개방경계조건(open boundary condition)을 부여하여 일정 유량으로 흐르는 개수로 흐름을 구현하였다. 더불어, Strickler의 법칙을 확장한 반력공식을 연계하여, 개수로 흐름에 대한 조류 터빈의 영향을 반영하였다. 주어진 상류의 흐름 조건에 대해 조류발전량을 최대로 하는 최적 배열을 구하기 위해 터빈 반력모형을 연계한 천수방정식, 터빈간 최소간격, 그리고 발전단지영역을 제한조건으로 하는 발전량 최대화 문제를 구성하였다. 여기서 조류 터빈의 위치를 나타내는 벡터를 설계변수로 두었는데, 설계되는 터빈의 수가 증가함에 따라 최적화 문제의 계산량이 증가하지 않도록 수반법(adjoint method)을 경사도기반법(gradient-based method)에 연계한 방법이 이용되었다. 다수의 터빈초기배치로 상당한 수치실험이 수행되었고, 발전량 최대화를 이루도록 최적화된 터빈의 배치들이 큰 규모에서 고유한 형상으로 수렴함을 확인하였다. 이러한 특성은 발전단지의 너비와 터빈의 최소간격의 함수로 정의된 무차원수 E를 바탕으로 설명되었다. 구체적으로, E가 1보다 작을 때에는 선형배열이 최적배열로 나타났고, E가 1을 넘어 점차 커짐에 따라 하류에 오목한 형상을 보이다가 V-형태로 발전하는 양상을 보였다. 또한, 어느 임계 수 이상의 터빈이 배치되는 경우 일열 배열을 유지하지 못하고 이열 배열로 분리됨이 관찰되었다.

Dynamic numerical analysis of geotechnical problems requires a way to simulate the decrease of energy as the domain of interest gets larger. This phenomenon is usually referred to as radiation damping or geometric attenuation and it is distinguished from material damping in which elastic energy is actually dissipated by viscous, hysteretic, or other mechanism. The fact that the domain of analysis in numerical modeling must be chosen, however, causes a need for special attention at the boundary. This observation leads directly to the idea of determining the dynamic response of the interior region from a finite model consisting of the interior region subjected to a boundary condition which ensures that all energy arriving at the boundary is absorbed. This paper presents a simple methodology to simulate transmitting boundaries condition using viscoelastic infinite elements within the recently developed "OpenSees" finite element code. The methodology used here provides that the level of absorption for traveling waves is efficient enough for practical purposes, but unsatisfactory for the case of sharp incident angles. The effectiveness of the infinite elements for the absorption of incident waves at boundaries is evaluated via example analysis.

It has been conventional to treat the land boundary as a fixed one in numerical modeling of tidal flows, particularly in the finite element scheme. However conventional models using the fixed land boundary result in unrealistic tidal flows in inter-tidal zones which exist over wide coastal area in Korea. In this study, a 2-dimensional hydrodynamic model, using finite element method for moving boundary problems was developed. The performance of the model was tested in a rectangular channel with an open boundary at one end and a moving boundary at the other end. The model was applied to calculate the tidal currents in Maro Hae, located in the southwestern part of Korea where wide tidal flats develop. The behavior of tidal currents in the Udolmok and near the tidal flats in the study area was satisfactory when compared with the observed data. Variation of tidal currents due to the construction of Kochunam sea-dyke which barrages large area of tidal flat was presented. The results of this study confirm the efficiency of moving boundary treatment in coastal numerical models.
