지하수의 흐름의 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 투수계수 정보에 대한 탁월한 추정 방법으로 파일럿 포인트 방법(Pilot Point Method: PPM)이 있다. 이는 투수계수 정보를 비교적 풍부한 측정자료(e.g. 지하수 수두 정보)를 활용하여 얻어내는 역함수 방법의 하나이다. 본 연구는 지하수 수두 정보에 추적자 정보를 활용하여 기 개발된 민감도 분석을 활용한 파일럿 포인트 방법(D-optimality based Pilot Point Method: DBM)과 동시 검색기반 파일럿 포인트 방법(Simultaneous Search based Pilot Point Method: SSBM)의 활용성을 검증하였다. 그 결과 지하수 수두 정보만을 활용하는 것에 비해 추적자 정보를 활용하는 것이 SSBM이나 DBM 모두 투수계수를 찾는 편차를 축소시켰다. 이는 동일한 조건하에 추적자 농도 정보가 투수계수를 찾는 범위를 한정할 수 있음을 보이는 한 예라고 할 수 있다. SSBM의 경우 민감도 분석이 없어 투수계수를 찾는 절차는 감소시켰지만 DBM에 비해 투수계수를 찾는 편차가 늘어나는 경향을 보였으며 초기 투수계수의 값에 의해 투수계수를 찾는데 영향을 받음을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 동시 검색기반 파이럿 포인트 방법으로 지하수 수두와 추적자 농도를 활용하는 것이 투수계수를 추정하는 데 적합한 것으로 사료된다.

직교 주파수 분할 다중화(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; OFDM) 시스템에서 주로 사용되는 파일럿을 이용한 상호상관 채널 추정기법은 시스템의 전송 효율을 증가시키기 위해 적은 수의 파일럿 심볼을 사용 할 경우 채널 추정 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 파일럿 심볼 기반의 OFDM 시스템에서 적은 수의 파일럿 심볼을 사용하여 채널 추정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 파일럿 심볼 기반 상호상관 채널 추정기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 추정한 후 임시 데이터 심볼을 검출하고, 검출된 데이터 심볼과 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 추정한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법의 성능을 확인하고, 기존 기법에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것을 보인다.

Many cases of strategically designed groundwater remediation have lack of information of hydraulic conductivity or permeability, which can render remediation methods inefficient. Many studies have been carried out to minimize this shortcoming by determining detailed hydraulic information either through direct or indirect measurements. One popular method for hydraulic characterization is the pilot point method (PPM), where the hydraulic property is estimated at a small number of strategically selected points using secondary measurements such as hydraulic head or tracer concentration. This paper adopted a D-optimality based pilot point method (DBM) developed previously for hydraulic head measurements and extended it to include both hydraulic head and tracer measurements. Based on different combinations of trials, our analysis showed that DBM performs well when hydraulic head is used for pilot point selection and both hydraulic head and tracer measurements are used for determining the conductivity values.

In today's highly automated aircraft, the role of the pilot has changed from an airplane controller to a system manager. As a system manager in a cockpit, today's pilot is in charge of a management-level activity called cockpit task management( CTM). According to earlier studies, pilot errors in performing CTM activities were significant factors in a large number of aircraft accidents and incidents. The primary objective of this research was to reduce CTM-related pilot errors. A prototype pilot- vehicle interface called the cockpit task management system (CTMS) was developed and its effectiveness in improving CTM performance was evaluated. After the CTMS was implemented, it was integrated into a PC-based flight simulator to perform an experiment to evaluate its effectiveness. Eight volunteer subjects were used to collect performance data. The results of the experiment indicated that a statistically significant improvement was observed when the subjects flew with the assistance of the CTMS.

Approximately 70% of aviation accidents in the world are caused by human factors of pilots and 15-20% of these accidents are known to be caused by pilot fatigue. Recently ICAO established new standards of FRMS for aircrew. The US and the EU have introduced FRMS and established and operated new aviation regulation systems for pilot flight(duty) time limitations. On the other hand, Korea has not yet introduced FRMS. This study reviewed ICAO's standards of FRMS and analyzed the aviation regulations of the US and the EU. As a result of this study, it showed that Korea also needed to introduce FRMS. This study reasoned out plans to improve Korean aviation regulations about pilot flight time limitations based on international standards.

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and relies its channel estimation on the lattice-type pilot samples in the multipath fading channel environment. The estimation of the channel frequency response (CFR) makes use of the least squares estimate (LSE) for each pilot samples, followed by an interpolation both in time- and in frequency-domain to fill up the channel estimates for subcarriers corresponding to data samples. Any interpolation scheme could be adopted for this purpose. Depending on the requirements of the target system, we may choose a simple linear interpolation or a sophisticated one. For any choice of an interpolation scheme, these is a trade-off between estimation accuracy and numerical cost. For those wireless communication systems based on the OFDM and the preamble-type pilot structure, the DFT-based channel estimation and its variants have been successfully. Yet, it may not be suitable for the lattice-type pilot structure, since the pilot samples are not sufficient to provide an accurate estimate and it is known to be sensitive to the location as well as the length of the time-domain window. In this paper, we propose a simple interpolated based on the upsampling mechanism in the multirate signal processing. The proposed method provides an excellent alternative to the DFT-based methods in terms of numerical cost and accuracy. The performance of the proposed technique is verified on a multipath environment suggested on a 3GPP LTE specification.

The theory and a probe of the pilot hole wall deformation method, which is a 3-dimensional stress measurement method based on the stress relief principle, were developed. A pilot hole is drilled from the bottom of a borehole and the stress measurement probe is inserted into the pilot hole. The borehole is advanced as the overcoring and the changes in the radius of the pilot hole in three directions and in the axial lengths between the borehole bottom and the pilot hole wall along four axial lines are measured by cantilever type-displacement sensors. The differences between the displacements by the elastic stress analysis and those measured by using the probe were within 3% in the uniaxial compression test of an acrylic resin plate having a hole.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in perception of the New Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG)-based payment system, make overall evaluation after participation, and examine opinions on further policy improvement among employees of a public hospital participating in the pilot project in Korea. Methods: We investigated changes in perception of the New DRG-based payment system before and after participation in the pilot project using a qualitative research method. We conducted individual in-depth interviews with the management and healthcare professionals and Focus Group Interviews (FGIs) with the staff in the nursing and administrative departments. Results: Before implementing the pilot project of the New DRG-based payment system, the management was in favor of participating in the pilot project, whereas the healthcare professionals were strongly opposed to participation in the pilot project, and the staff in the nursing and administrative departments were slightly opposed to participation. After implementing the pilot project, there were remarkable changes in the perception of the New DRG-based payment system among healthcare professionals and the administrative staff. Healthcare professionals' perception was altered in a positive way, while the administrative staff's perception of the system became negative. Conclusion: There were no restrictions on clinical practice or deterioration of quality of care observed in association with the participation in the New DRG-based payment system. However, certain unintended consequences of the New DRG-based payment system may arise as well. Therefore, the government needs to examine the problems identified in this study to reflect on and improve the New DRG-based payment system for stable expansion.

We propose a pilot-based coding (PBC) scheme for lossless bit rate reduction of parametric stereo (PS) in enhanced aacPlus. It uses PBC in addition to the existing frequency and time differential coding to encode and decode PS parameter indexes. We also design optimal Huffman codebooks (HCBs) for PBC in the proposed scheme. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is superior to the original coding scheme, where both the new coding structure and the optimal HCBs contribute to the bit rate reduction.
