For the purpose of LAN or data transmission line design with high speed and reliability using power lines, in this paper, we present CSK/SS-DS signal transmission characteristics simulations with changing channel characteristics due to impedance fluctuation. And we also simulated the signal transmissions with a strong impulsive burst noise and with a gaussian random noise. We introduce a simple channel equalization filtering method that solves the synchronization problem of CSK/SS-DS with fluctuating channel characteristics or low S/N ratio.

This paper presents the measurements and analyses of transmission qualities of the existing urban and toll public switching telephone network (PSTN) for the purllose of opening it to data transmission. In the tests, random noise and impulsive noise occuring on the telephone network are investigated and bit error rate and block error rate representing the transmission qualities on the existing telephone network are measured. We recommend the fastest practical data transmission speed on the network and investigate a possibility of opening the public switching telephone network (PSIN) to the data transmission based on the above measurements.

Preserving image features, edges and details in the process of impulsive noise filtering is an important problem. To avoid image blurring, only corrupted pixels must be filtered. In this paper, we propose an effective impulse noise detection method using Self-Organizing Neural Network(SONN) which applies median filter selectively for removing random-valued impulse noises while preserving image features, edges and details. Using a $3\times3$ window, we obtain useful local features with which impulse noise patterns are classified. SONN is trained with sample image patterns and each pixel pattern is classified by its local information in the image. The results of the experiments with various images which are the noise range of $5-15\%$ show that our method performs better than other methods which use multiple threshold values for impulse noise detection.

Many researches have been processed to reconstruct corrupted an image by noise in fields of signal processing such as image recognition and compute. vision, and AWGN(additive white gaussian noise) and impulse noise are representative. Impulse noise consists of fired-valued(salt & pepper) impulse noise and random-valued impulse noise, and non-linear filters such as SM(standard median) filters are used to remove this noise. But basic SM filters still generate many errors in edge regions of an image, and in order to overcome this problem a variety of methods have been researched. In this paper, we proposed an impulse noise removal algorithm which is superior to the edge preserving capacity. At this tine, after detecting a noise by using the noise detector, we applied a noise removal algorithm based on the min-max operation and compared the capacity with existing methods through simulation.

In this paper robust nonlinear image denoising algorithms are introduced for the distribution which is Gaussian in the center and Laplacian in the tails. The distribution is known as the least favorable ${\epsilon}$-contaminated normal distribution that maximizes the asymptotic variance. The proposed filter proves to be the maximum likelihood estimator under the heavy-tailed Gaussian noise environments. It is optimal in the respect of maximizing the efficacy under the above noise environment. Another filter for reducing impulsive noise is proposed by mixing with the myriad filter to propose an amplitude-limited myriad filter. Extensive experiment is conducted with images corrupted with ${\alpha}$-stable noise to analyze the behavior and performance of the proposed filters.

A force cancelling observed to control the vibration of a single degree of freedom elastic system subjected to an arbitrary, unmeasurable disturbance is considered in this paper. The main idea of a force cancelling observer is how an estimate of the excitation can be derived and used to generate a control force which reduces the vibration. This control is shown to be robust with respect to the parameters describing the behavior of the system. Experimental and numerical results are presented which show the efficacy of the observer when the system is excited by periodic, random, and impulsive torques.

This paper deals with a bearing faults localization technique based on holographic approach by visualizing sound radiated from the faults. The main idea stems from the phenomenon that bearing faults in a moving vehicle generate impulsive sound. To visualize fault signal from the moving vehicle, we can use the moving frame acoustic holography [Kwon, H.-S. and Kim, Y.-H., 1998, "Moving Frame Technique for Planar Acoustic Holography," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Vol. 103, No. 4, pp. 1734${\sim}$1741]. However, it is not easy to localize faults only by applying the method. This is because the microphone array measures noise(for example, noise from other parts of the vehicle and the wind noise) as well as the fault signal while the vehicle passes by the array. To reduce the effect of noise, we propose two ideas which utilize the characteristics of fault signal. The first one is to average holograms for several frequencies to reduce the random noise. The second one is to apply the partial field decomposition algorithm [Nam, K.-U., Kim, Y.-H., 2004, "A Partial Field Decomposition Algorithm and Its Examples for Near-field Acoustic Holography," J. of Acoust. Soc. Am. Vol. 116, No. 1, pp. 172${\sim}$185] to the moving source, which can separate the fault signal and noise. Basic theory of those methods is introduced and how they can be applied to localize bearing faults is demonstrated. Experimental results via a miniature vehicle showed how well the proposed method finds out the location of source in practice.

This paper describes the performance evaluation of NHD(nonhomogeneity detector) for STAP(space-time adaptive processing) airborne radar according to various normalization methods in the nonhomogeneous clutter environment. In practice, the clutter can be characterized as random variation signals, because it sometimes includes signals with very large magnitude like impulsive signal due to the system environment. The received interference signals are composed of homogeneous and nonhomogeneous data. In this situation, NHB is needed to maintain the STAP performance. The normalization using the NHD result is an effective method for removing the nonhomogeneous data. The optimum normalization can be performed by a representative value considered with a characteristic of the given data, so we propose the K-means clustering algorithm. The characteristic of random variation data due to nonhomogeneous clutters can be considered by the number of clusters, and then the representative value for selecting the homogeneous data is determined in the clustering result. In order to reflect a characteristic of the nonstationary interference data, we also investigate the algorithm for a calculation of the proper number of clusters. Through our simulations, we verified that the K-means clustering algorithm has very superior normalization and target detection performances compared with the previous introduced normalization methods.

Family is a primary unit of the major socialization processing for children. Parents among the family members are one of the most important figures from whom the child and adolescent acquire a wide variety of behavior patterns, attitudes, values and norms. An organization of family members product family structural functioning. Abnormal family structure is one of the most important reference models in the learning of antisocial patterns of behavior. Therefore incest and child sexual abuse including spouse abuse, elderly abuse, and neglect occurs in the abnormal family structural setting. In particular, incest, a specific form of sexual abuse, was once thought to be a phenomenon of great rarity, but our clinical experiences, especially over the past decade, have made us aware that incest and child sexual abuse is not rare case and on the increasing trend. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the family problem and dynamics of incest family, and character pattern of post-incest adolescent victim in Korea. A total of 1,838 adolescents from middle and high school(1,237) and juvenile correctional institute(601) were studied, sampled from Korean student population and adolescent delinquent population confined in juvenile correctional institutes, using proportional stratified random sampling method. The subjects' ages ranged from 12 to 21 years. Data were collected through questionnaire survey. Data analysis was done by IBM PC of Behavior Science Center at the Korea university, using SAS program. Statistical methods employed were Chi-square, principal component analysis and t-test etc. The results of this study were as follows ; 1) Of 1,071 subjects, 40(3.7%) reported incest experiences(sibling incest : 1.6% ; another type of incest : 2.1%) in their family setting. 2) The character pattern of post-incest adolescent victim was more socially maladjusted, immature, impulsive, rigid, anxious and dependent than non-incest adolescent. Also they showed some problem in academic performance and their assertiveness. 3) The other family members of incest family revealed more psychological and behavioral problem such as depression, alcoholism, psychotic disorder and criminal act than the non-incest family, even though there is no evidence of the context between them. 4) The family dynamics of incest family tended to be dysfunctional trend, as compared with non-incest family. It showed that the psychological instability of family member, parental rejection toward their children, coldness and indifference among family member and marital discordance between the parents had significant correlation with incest.
