본 연구는 수분최대화방법(Moisture-maximizing method)를 기반으로 PMP(Probable Maximum Precipitation)을 산정하는 방법론을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 수분최대화 방법은 특정 호우사상의 대기 수분 조건을 극대화하여 PMP 를 산정한다. 여기서, 대기 수분 조건은 대기 표면부터 상층부의 총 수분량으로부터 얻어지는 가강수량(Precipitable water, PW)으로 표현된다. PW 는 라디오존데로부터 직접 관측 및 수집되지만, 장기간 수집이 어렵고, 수집된 자료는 다수의 이상치 및 결측치를 포함한다. 이에 따라, WMO(World Meteorological Organization)에서는 표면 이슬점을 이용하여 위단열 가정(Pseudo-adiabatic assumption)하에PW 를 간접적으로 산정하는 방법론을 기반한 PMP 산정을 권고한다. 본 연구는 일본의 다수의 지역을 대상으로 실제 PW 를 이용하는 방법과 표면 이슬점을 이용하는 방법을 기반으로 산정된 수분최대화방법의 변수들의 편차를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 따듯한 기후 특성을 나타내는 일본의 남부지역은 두 방법의 편차가 매우 작았지만, 추운 기후 특성을 나타내는 일본의 북부지역은 표면 이슬점으로 산정된 PW 가 실제 PW 에 비해 과소 산정되어 PMP 를 과대 산정시켰다. 특히, 이불확실성은 호우 발생 시 표면 이슬점이 18℃ 이하일 때, 두드러지게 나타났다. 본 연구는 이불확실성을 밝히기 위해 실제 라디오존데로부터 관측된 대기 상층부의 대기 프로파일 검토하였다. 그 결과, 표면에서 가까운 대기 상층부의 위치에서 불규칙적으로 이슬점이 증가하는 패턴을 나타냈지만, 위단열 가정은 이를 묘사하기 어려웠다. 이는 결국 실제 PW 에 비해 이슬점을 이용하여 산정된 PW 가 과소 산정되는 결과로 이어졌다. 결과적으로, 호우 발생 시 표면 이슬점이 18℃ 이하로 낮은 지역에서 산정된 PW 를 적용하는 수분최대화방법으로 산정된 PMP 는 낮은 신뢰도를 나타낸다.

A recursive linear stochastic error compensation algorithm is newly proposed for target localization in sensor network which provides range difference of arrival(RDOA) measurements. Target localization with RDOA is a well-known nonlinear estimation problem. Since it can not solve with a closed-form solution, the numerical methods sensitive to initial guess are often used before. As an alternative solution, a pseudo-linear estimation scheme has been used but the auto-correlation of measurement noise still causes unacceptable estimation errors under low SNR conditions. To overcome these problems, a stochastic error compensation method is applied for the target localization problem under the assumption that a priori stochastic information of RDOA measurement noise is available. Apart from the existing methods, the proposed linear target localization scheme can recursively compute the target position estimate which converges to true position in probability. In addition, it is remarked that the suggested algorithm has a structural reconciliation with the existing one such as linear correction least squares(LCLS) estimator. Through the computer simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed method shows better performance than the LCLS method and guarantees fast and reliable convergence characteristic compared to the nonlinear method.

This study was conducted to establish the adsorption-desorption mechanism and the optimum condition of chromatographic operation for separations of heavy rare earth elements (Gd, Tb, Dy) using a p507-containing resin. By employing Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm together with pseudo first and second order kinetics, absorption-desorption reaction mechanism was investigated. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm was applied under assumption that adsorption reaction occurs in form of monolayer, and because the result was identical to the assumption, now we know adsorption of heavy rare earth elements occurs in form of monolayer. Concerning the pseudo first and second order kinetic, the pseudo second order seemed to be more suitable to represent heavy rare earth element adsorption mechanism. By using the extraction chromatography to separate heavy rare earth elements, ${\alpha}^{Tb}_{Gd}=1.24$, and ${\alpha}^{Dy}_{Tb}=1.03$ were confirmed in eluent HCl 0.25 M which indicates almost perfect separations of three elements. Furthermore, as concentrations of eluent became higher, the resolution value decreased and the elution area got shortened.

In this paper research results of developing a method of selecting design variables of an optimization problem from a finite set of pre-specified numbers, which can be utilized for the structural optimization with standardized structural members, is presented. The method first finds a continuous optimum under the assumption that design variables can be varied continuously. Then a pseudo-optimum is determined by selecting numbers from the set that are near to the continuous optimum and do not violate constraints. The pseudo-optimum is further improved to obtain the final discrete optimum from the set which minimizes cost function of the problem. In this research, the method is combined with the gradient projection optimization algorithm. The method is applied to several minimum weight truss optimization problems with constraints on the stresses, displacements, and design variables. As the results, it is found that the method can be efficiently applied to various optimization problems of which design variables must be chosen from a standard.

The MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) matching algorithm had been used for searching the part accord points extracted from the gray level fingerprint image. The method, however, had some limitations. To obtain the relationship between enrolled and inputted fingerprint, the MST was used to generate the tree graph that represent the unique graph for given fingerprint data. From the graph, the accord points are estimated. However, the shape of the graph highly depends on the positions of the minutiae. If there are some pseudo minutiae caused by noise, the shape of the graph will be different In this paper, to overcome the limitations of the MST, we proposed CRM (Center of Rotation Method) algorithm that found the true part accord points. The proposed method is based on the assumption ...

This study attempts to reveal structures of two-dimensional ring polymer solutions in various polymer concentrations ranging from dilute to concentrated regime. Polymer sizes, single molecule structure factors, bond correlation functions and monomer density distribution functions from center of mass are given in order to clarify the polymer structures. Our study shows that a ring in dilute solution maintain pseudo-circular structure with self-avoiding walk (SAW) statistics, and it seems to be composed of two connecting SAW linear chains. In semidilute solutions, ring polymers are not entangled with each other and adopt collapsed configurations. Such assumption of collapsed structures in the semidilute regime gives an overlap concentration of ${\varphi}^*{\sim}N^{-1/2}$ where N is degree of polymerization. By normalizing the polymer concentration by these overlap concentration, we find universal behaviors of polymer sizes and structure factors regardless of N.

The quantitative evaluation of DEM(Digital Elevation Map) is very important to the assessment of the effectiveness for the applied 3D image analysis technique. This paper presents a new quantitative evaluation method of 3D reconstruction process by using synthetic images. The proposed method is based on the assumption that a preacquired DEM and ortho-image should be the pseudo ground truth. The proposed evaluation process begins by generating a pair of photo-realistic synthetic images of the terrain from any viewpoint in terms of application of the constructed ray tracing algorithm to the pseudo ground truth. By comparing the DEM obtained by a pair of photo-realistic synthetic images with the assumed pseudo ground truth, we can analyze the quantitative error in DEM and evaluate the effectiveness of the applied 3D analysis method. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method, we carry out the quantitative and the qualitative experiments. For the quantitative experiment, we prove the accuracy of the photo-realistic synthetic image. Also, the proposed evaluation method is experimented on the 3D reconstruction with regards to the change of the matching window. Based on the fact that the experimental result agrees with the anticipation, we can qualitatively manifest the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method.

Biphasic solvents are attracting attention as energy-reducing solvents for capturing CO₂ from flue gas in combustion process. In this study, considering diethylenetriamine (DETA) and diethylethanolamine (DEEA) mixed solvents, one of the biphasic solvents by blending of two types of amines, the CO₂ absorption rates of DETA and DEEA was measured by wetted wall column. The effects of DETA and DEEA concentrations and operating temperature on the overall mass transfer coefficient were investigated. As a result, the overall mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the DETA concentration. However, in the case of the DEEA concentration, the effect was small and when the concentration was exceeded, the overall mass transfer coefficient decreased. The DETA aqueous solution showed little change in the overall mass transfer coefficient with the operating temperature, whereas the DEEA aqueous solution increased the overall mass transfer coefficient with the operating temperature. As a result of obtaining the observed reaction rate constant under the pseudo-first-order reaction assumption, it was found that the observed reaction rate constant in DETA aqueous solution was proportional to the DETA concentration, but DEEA did not fit the pseudo-first-order reaction assumption.

This study introduces and analyzes the data from Directory of Korean NGOs, which was published in 1997 and again in 200, to conduct a quantitative research on the growth of civic organization in South Korea. This paper focus on the information on membership size and founding year which are essential indicators for the growth of organizations. Missing rates on those two indicators are checked to evaluate the quality of data. We examine the changes in membership size between the two time periods, 1996 and 1999. It shows that there is a considerable decrease in the membership size for civic and advocary organizations that are oriented to national issues. It suggests the competition among the organizations over limited resources, which is consistent with an assumption of ecological theory of organization on non-linear growth pattern. Using founding year data from 1945 to 1996, we estimate pseudo growth curves of civic organizations based on logistic growth curve model to discuss different growth patterns of organizations across areas of activities.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of BPM (Bi-Phase Modulation) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) multiple access system using PN (Pseudo Noise) code based time hopping sequence in indoor wireless channels. In particular, we compare BPM UWB multiple access system with PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) UWB multiple access system in terms of signalling and demodulation schemes. Moreover, we analytically evaluate the performance of these UWB systems by deriving the bit error rate expressions under the assumption that pulse energy and data transmission rate are identical for both systems. Simulation results in additive white Gaussian noise and realistic indoor multipath wireless channels show that the performance of BPM scheme is approximately 1 dB better than that of PPM scheme. However, the performance discrepancy becomes negligible as the number of users increases.
