In this paper, we propose an efficient algerian for wavelet-based sti image coding method that utilizes the rate-distortion (R-D) theory. Since conventional tree-structured image coding schemes do not consider the rate-distortion theory properly, they show reduced coding performance. In this paper, we apply an rate-distortion optimized embedding (RDE) operation into the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm. In this algorithm, we use the rate-distortion slope as a criterion for the coding order of wavelet coefficients in SPIHT lists. We also describe modified set partitioning and rate-distortion optimized list scan methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the SPIHT algorithm and the rate-distortion optimized embedding algerian with respect to the PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) performance.

In this study, the operation strategy of the radiant floor cooling is evaluated in terms of indoor environmental conditions and energy consumption through simulations using the TRNSYS comparing the existing cooling operation. The operation strategy during continuously operated for cooling is proposed that a representative room had additional equipments and other rooms were operated with only a radiant floor cooling system and that system and control method for cooling are varied with period while intermittently operated for cooling. Specifically, when there are no people in the room, rooms were operated by only radiant floor cooling system using cooling storage and when people are occupied, rooms were operated by dehumidification and supplementary cooling device with radiant floor cooling system. The results of this study show that proposed operation strategy can stably maintain the set room air temperature and can reduce the energy consumption compared to the existing cooling method during continuously operated for cooling. While intermittently operated for cooling, the difference of set room air temperature by proposed operation strategy does not happen, satisfying comfort standards and the radiant floor cooling can expect to supply stable electric power because of decreasing demand for peak electric power of energy consumption.

Physicochemical properties of defatted and 1% palmitic acid reincorporated rice starch were investigated comparing with nondefatted starch. Amylose content of defatted starch was higher than that of nondefatted and reincorporated starch. Transmittance, swelling power and solubility of nondeffated and reincorporated starch exhibited two stage behavior but these behaviors were disappaered by defatting. All starches showed a typical A type in X-ray diffraction but relative crystallinity was decreased by defatting. Also by defatting, peak viscosity and break down of amylogram were disappeared and set back was increased.

To overcome the limit of morphological method for classification of herbal drug, a novel method to discriminate its origin using pyrolysis mass spectrometry-multivariate analysis was developed. This method was applied successfully to Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, one of the most popular herbal drug in oriental countries. The ethylacetate soluble fractions were prepared by sonication from pulverized roots of S. baicalensis which were collected from various regions including Korea and China, and subjected to direct insertion probe (DIP) mass spectrometry to achieve mass spectra of pyrolizates of extracts. The probe temperature was elevated from $30^{\circ}C$ to $320^{\circ}C$ at increasing rate $64^{\circ}C/min$, and the average mass spectrum calculated from total ion chromatography (TIC) was obtained. The relative peak intensities versus m/z were subjected to SAS program, and the training set (9 from Korea origin and 22 from China origin) was clustered two groups as its origin. In the test set, 11 samples among total 13 test sample were successfully classified according to their origin by developed method with accuracy of 85%.

In order to distinguish fault electric motors automatically in real time. an intelligent diagnosis technique may be required. This paper presents an automatic fault detection system for electric motors by using their acoustic noises. Time signals of each candidate motor were measured in an anechoic chamber for further analysis. Spectral analysis was first carried out and they showed that two typical types of fault motors could be successfully distinguished in the frequency domain; bearing faults and scratches. Unlike the trend of normal motors that shows only a single dominant peak at around 2000 ㎐, several peaks are bunched together in bearing fault motors. On the other hand, large frequency noises at around 6500 ㎐ are newly arisen in scratchy fault motors. However, the processing time for spectral analysis was rather long for a real time application in production lines. Thus, a number of band-pass filters were used in the time domain instead for a real time application. Before applying filters, the bands of filters were set from the information of spectral analysis. By applying a set of band-pass filters, the RMS values of each filtered signal were calculated, and thus the normal and damaged motors could be successfully distinguished.

This paper describes the application of an inverse building model to a calibrated forward building model using EnergyPlus program. Typically, inverse models are trained using measured data. However, in this study, an inverse building model was trained using data generated by an EnergyPlus model for an actual office building. The EnergyPlus model was calibrated using field data for the building. A training data set for a month of July was generated from the EnergyPlus model to train the inverse model. Cooling load prediction of the trained inverse model was tested using another data set from the EnergyPlus model for a month of August. Predicted cooling loads showed good agreement with cooling loads from the EnergyPlus model with root-mean square errors of 4.11%. In addition, different control strategies with dynamic cooling setpoint variation were simulated using the inverse model. Peak cooling loads and daily cooling loads were compared for the dynamic simulation.

This paper proposes a statistical regression method for classifying pillars and vehicles in parking area using a single ultrasonic sensor. There are three types of information provided by the ultrasonic sensor: TOF, the peak and the width of a pulse, from which 67 different features are extracted through segmentation and data preprocessing. The classification using the multiple SVM and the multinomial logistic regression are applied to the set of extracted features, and has achieved the accuracy of 85% and 89.67%, respectively, over a set of real-world data. The experimental result proves that the proposed feature extraction and classification scheme is applicable to the object classification using an ultrasonic sensor.

Physicochemical properties of starches from the rices of Akibare, Samgang and Mahatma and hardness of the cooked rice were examined Water binding capacity and amylose content were heigher in Samgang. Peak viscosity and breakdown were heigher in order of Akibare, Samgang and Mahatma, while consistency and set back were reverse order. Hydrolytic patterns of three starches with 2.2N HCl at $35^{\circ}C$ showed two distinct stages. Hydrolysis extent of Mahatma starch was lower than those of Akibare and Samgang starches. The relative crystallinities of these starches were heigher in order of Mahatma, Akibare and Samgang. Mahatma was more resistant to heat and acid treatments, lower in water binding capacity and harder when it was cooked.

The ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends with acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) were prepared by mechanical mixing method. Mooney viscosity, cure behaviors, compression set and dynamic mechanical properties were subsequently examined. Dynamic characteristics of the entire blends determined from a Rheovibron generally showed two glass transitions (T'$_{g}$s), -43$^{\circ}C$ and -4$^{\circ}C$ for NBR and EPDM, respectively. The tan $\delta$ peak monotonically shifted toward the higher temperature with increasing NBR content. It was also found that the optimum cure time was significantly decreased with loading of NBR.

The probabilistic seismic performance of a standard Korean nuclear power plant (NPP) with an idealized isolation is investigated in the present work. A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) of the Wolsong site on the Korean peninsula is performed by considering peak ground acceleration (PGA) as an earthquake intensity measure. A procedure is reported on the categorization and selection of two sets of ground motions of the Tohoku earthquake, i.e. long-period and common as Set A and Set B respectively, for the nonlinear time history response analysis of the base-isolated NPP. Limit state values as multiples of the displacement responses of the NPP base isolation are considered for the fragility estimation. The seismic risk of the NPP is further assessed by incorporation of the rate of frequency exceedance and conditional failure probability curves. Furthermore, this framework attempts to show the unacceptable performance of the isolated NPP in terms of the probabilistic distribution and annual probability of limit states. The comparative results for long and common ground motions are discussed to contribute to the future safety of nuclear facilities against drastic events like Tohoku.
