In the positioning algorithm of two-dimensional planar sensor array, the estimation error of time difference-ofarrival (TDOA) algorithm is difficult to avoid. Thus, how to achieve accurate positioning is a key problem of the positioning technology based on planar array. In this paper, a method of sensor reliability discrimination is proposed, which is the foundation for selecting positioning sensors with small error and excellent performance, simplifying algorithm, and improving positioning accuracy. Then, a positioning model is established. The estimation characteristics of the least square method are fully utilized to calculate and fuse the positioning results, and the non-uniform weighting method is used to correct the weighting factors. It effectively handles the decreased positioning accuracy due to measurement errors, and ensures that the algorithm performance is improved significantly. Finally, the characteristics of the improved algorithm are compared with those of other algorithms. The experiment data demonstrate that the algorithm is better than the standard least square method and can improve the positioning accuracy effectively, which is suitable for vibration detection with large noise interference.

Non-uniform reinforced concrete brace facade systems are newly considered to improve seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings under lateral load. For normal and high strength concrete of 30MPa, 80MPa, and 120MPa, the cross-sections of reinforced concrete brace facade systems were designed as different size with same amount of reinforcements. The strengthened frame systems were analyzed by a non-linear two-dimensional finite element technique which was considering material non-linearities of concrete and reinforcing bars under monotonic and cyclic loadings. From the study of non-linear analysis of the systems, therefore, it was provided that the proposed braced facade systems were reliable to improve laterally load-carrying capacity and minimize damages of concrete members through comparisons of load-displacement curves, crack patterns, and stress distributions of reinforcing bars predicted by current non-linear finite element analysis of frame specimens.

In this paper, the vibration suppression problem of an axially moving power transmission belt is investigated. The equations of motion of the moving belt is first derived by using Hamilton´s principle for systems with changing mass. The total mechanical energy of the belt system is considered as a Lyapunov function candidate. Using the Lyapunov second method, a nonlinear boundary control law that guarantees the uniform asymptotic stability is derived. The control performance with the proposed control law is simulated. It is shown that a boundary control can still achieve the uniform stabilization for belt systems.

Quantitative analysis of dynamic false contours on PDP is essential to evaluate the performance of algorithms for false contour reduction. It also serves as an optimization criterion for selecting the subfield pattern. In this paper, a color difference in uniform color space is defined as a new measure for dynamic false contours. Unlike the measures in previous works, it accounts for the channel dependencies among the RGB color channels.

Performances of some image restoration filters are compared and evaluated on SNR gain and subjective test. Test images used here are the GIRL and PLANT images corrupted by Gaussian, uniform, BSC, and impulse noise, respectively. Experimental results show that the scalar DCT-Wiener filter among them is comparatively superior to others in Gaussian and uniform noise. On the other hand, the median filter is much better than others in BSC and impulse noise.

The problem of non-uniform inflow exists in many practical engineering applications, such as the elbow suction pipe of waterjet pump and, the channel head of steam generator which is directly connect with reactor coolant pump. Generally, pumps are identical designs and are selected based on performance under uniform inflow with the straight pipe, but actually non-uniform suction flow is induced by upstream equipment. In this paper, CFD approach was employed to analyze unsteady hydrodynamic characteristics of reactor coolant pumps with different inflows. The Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes equations with the $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model were solved by the computational fluid dynamics software CFX to conduct the steady and unsteady numerical simulation. The numerical results of the straight pipe and channel head were validated with experimental data for the heads at different flow coefficients. In the nominal flow rate, the head of the pump with the channel head decreases by 1.19% when compared to the straight pipe. The complicated structure of channel head induces the inlet flow non-uniform. The non-uniformity of the inflow induces the difference of vorticity distribution at the outlet of the pump. The variation law of blade to blade velocity at different flow rate and the difference of blade to blade velocity with different inflow are researched. The effects of non-uniform inflow on radial forces are absolutely different from the uniform inflow. For the radial forces at the frequency $f_R$, the corresponding amplitude of channel head are higher than the straight pipe at $1.0{\Phi}_d$ and $1.2{\Phi}_d$ flow rates, and the corresponding amplitude of channel head are lower than the straight pipe at $0.8{\Phi}_d$ flow rates.

The study on the uniform error property of codes has been restricted to additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, which is generally referred to as geometrical uniformity. In this paper, we extend the uniform error property to space-time codes in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel by directly treating the probability density functions fully describing the transmission channel and the receiver. Moreover, we provide the code construction procedure for the geometrically uniform space-time trellis codes in fast MIMO channels, which consider the distance spectrum. Due to the uniform error property, the complexity of code search is extensively reduced. Such reduction makes it possible to obtain the optimal space-time trellis codes with high order states. Simulation results show that new codes offer a better performance in fast MIMO channels than other known codes.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factor structure of self-efficacy, clothing behaviors, contents application of the unit 'preparing and managing clothes' and the effects of self-efficacy on clothing behavior and contents application of the unit 'preparing and managing clothes'. Questionnaires were administered to 201 girl students in middle school, living in the Daegu area. Frequency, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression were used for data analysis. The findings are as follows. Self-efficacy was composed of five factors, namely interpersonal skills, task performance skills, anxiety, planned performance, and challenging action. Clothing behavior was composed of five factors, namely pleasure, coordinated clothes, uniform preference, learning behavior, and fashion oriented. Contents application of the unit 'preparing and managing clothes' was composed of two factors, namely usefulness of lectures in general, and usefulness of Hanbok lecture. The effects of clothing behavior and contents application of the unit 'preparing and managing clothes' on each of the self-efficacy variables, like interpersonal skills, task performance skills, anxiety, planned performance, and challenging action were explained by factors such as pleasure, coordinated clothes, uniform preference, learning behavior and fashion oriented, and usefulness of lectures in general and usefulness of Hanbok lecture.

This paper presents a kinematic ephemeris generator for Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) and its performance test results. The kinematic ephemeris generator consists of a ground ephemeris compressor and an onboard ephemeris calculator. The ground ephemeris compressor has to compress desired orbit propagation data by using an interpolation method in a ground system. The onboard ephemeris calculator can generate spacecraft ephemeris and the Sun/Moon ephemeris in onboard computer of the KPLO. Among many interpolation methods, polynomial interpolation with uniform node, Chebyshev interpolation, Hermite interpolation are tested for their performances. As a result of the test, it is shown that all the methods have some cases that meet requirements but there are some performance differences. It is also confirmed that, the Chebyshev interpolation shows better performance than other methods for spacecraft ephemeris generation, and the polynomial interpolation with uniform nodes yields good performance for the Sun/Moon ephemeris generation. Based on these results, a Kinematic ephemeris generator is developed for the KPLO mission. Then, the developed ephemeris generator can find an approximating function using interpolation method considering the size and accuracy of the data to be transmitted.

The Hydrodynamic performance of the trileaflet polymer prosthetic valves depends on the design of the leaflet and the physical properties of the leaflet membrane. In order to study the effect of leaflet membrane elasticity on the hemodynamic performance of trileaflet prosthetic valve, leaflet membranes are manufactured using two different polymers - Biospan and Tecoflex SG-93A. The hemodynamic performance parameters are measured under steady and physiological pulsatile flow, and compared with monoleaflet polymer valve(floating valve) and bileaflet mechanical valve(St. Jude Medical valve). Well designed trileaflet valve shows the lowest mean pressure drop among the tested valves. The trileaflet valves with Biospan membrane show lower pressure drop and back low comparing to those with Tecoflex membrane. More elastic membrane may provide wide opening area during systole and close membrane ree edge contact during diastole. Durability of trileaflet valves are also tested in vitro. Trileaflet valves with non-uniform membrane thickness ail within 17 days because of stress concentration. Trileaflet polymer valves with uniform membrane thickness perform well over 55 days without failure.
