Background and Objectives: It has been suggested that tonsillectomy possibly causes changes of voice because the morphology of the vocal tract is altered. This may cause serious problems for professional voice users. Materials and Method: Subjects were 26 patients. The oral and nasal sound spectrum of oral vowel /a/, /e/ and /i/ were measured before and after tonsillectomy. The formant frequencies and intensities for oral and nasal spectra were compared. The nasality and fundamental frequencies for oral vowel were measured. Results: The first formant frequencies for oral spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but the second formant frequencies were increased significantly after surgery in the vowel /e/ and /i/. The first and second formant intensities for oral spectra were increased significantly after surgery in the all vowels. The first and second formant frequencies for nasal spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but their intensities for nasal spectra were increased after surgery. The nasalities for oral vowel were not changed after surgery. Conclusion : Tonsillectomy appeared to change the spectral features of oral and nasal components of oral vowel, especially spectral intensities.

This paper presents intermediate results of an on-going research for identification of the modal and the stiffness parameters of a bridge based on the ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The main algorithms consist of the random decrement method incorporating band-pass filters for estimation of the free vibration signals the cross spectral density method for identification of the modal parameters and the neural networks technique for estimation of the element-level stiffness changes. An experimental study is carried out on a scaled bridge model with a composite section subjected to various moving vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations are measured at several locations on the girder. The estimated frequencies and mode shapes are found to be well-compared with those obtained from the impact tests. The estimated stiffness changes using the neural networks are found to be very good for the case with the simulated data. However the accuracy is found to be not quite satisfactory for the case with the experimental data particularly for the small value of the stiffness changes.

Phytochromes are red and far-red light absorbing photoreceptors for photomorphogenesis in plants. The red/far wavelength reversible biliproteins are made up of two structural domains. The light-perceiving function of the photoreceptor resides in the N-terminal domain, whereas the signal transducing regulatory function is located within the C-terminal domain. The characteristic role of the phytochromes as phtosensory molecular switches is derived from the phototransformation between two distinct spectral forms, the red light absorbing Pr and the far-red light absorbing Pfr forms. The photoinduced Pr Pfr phototransformation accompanies subtle conformational changes throughout the phytochrome molecule. The conformational signals are subsequently transmitted to the C-terminal domain through various inter-domain crosstalks and induce the interaction of the activated C-terminal domain with phytochrome interacting factors. Thus the inter-domain crosstalks play critical roles in the photoactivation of the phytochromes. Posttranslational modifications, such as the phosphorylation of Ser-598, are also involved in this process through conformational changes and by modulating inter-domain signaling.

In recent years, urban development has expanded rapidly in Nawabshah City of Pakistan. A major effect associated with this population trend is transformation of the landscape from natural cover types to increasingly impervious urban land. The core objective of this study are to provide time-series information to define and measure the urban land cover changes of Nawabshah, Pakistan between the years 1992 and 2002, and to examine related urbanization impacts on air quality of the study area. Two multi-temporal Landsat images acquired in 1992 and 2002 together with standard topographical maps to measure land cover changes were used in this study. The image processing and data manipulation were conducted using algorithms supplied with the ERDAS Imagine software. An unsupervised classification approach, which uses a minimum spectral distance to assign pixels to clusters, was used with the overall accuracy ranging from 84 percent to 92 percent. Land cover statistics demonstrate that during the study period (1992-2002) extensive transformation of barren and vegetated lands into urban land have taken place in Nawabshah City. Results revealed that land cover changes due to urbanization has not only contaminated the air quality of the study area but also raised the health concerns for the local residents.

흰쥐에 thioacetamide(TAA)를 투여하면 간성뇌장애가 유발된다. 두가지 행동 상태(꼬리 접촉자극 및 미자극)와 세 단계의 신경학적 이상의 단계(정상, 약한 운동실조, 심한 운동실조)별로 뇌파를 기록하였고, 뇌파 스펙트럼 및 대역 분석을 통하여 간성뇌장애 진행동안 뇌파의 정량적인 변동을 관찰하였다. 정상 쥐에서 자극은 $theta(3.5{\sim}8\;Hz)$ 및 $gamma(30{\sim}50\;Hz)$ 대역의 power을 증가시켰다. 운동실조가 있는 쥐에서 이러한 변화가 일어나지 못하였다. 꼬리 자극을 하는 상태에서 theta 대역의 변화는 gamma 대역의 변화 보다 더욱 일찍 관찰되었다. 신경학적 행동 단계가 심해짐에 따라서 $beta3(21{\sim}30\;Hz)$ 및 gamma 대역에서 power가 점차적으로 감소하였다. 또한 간성뇌장애의 신경학적 증상은 benzodiazepine계 물질에 의하여 야기된다는 가설이 있으므로 beta power의 증가가 관찰될 것으로 기대하였으나 이 연구에서는 관찰하지 못하였다. 이 결과들로 미루어 볼때 이 연구에 사용된 스펙트럼 및 대역 분석이 간성뇌장애동안 신경학적 증상의 정도를 정량화 할 수 있다고 생각된다.

적외선을 이용한 지표 온도 추정 및 변화 탐지를 위해서는 해당 파장대역의 각 센서에 따른 지표 복사율 추정 및 배경값에 대한 확보가 필요하다. 이 연구는 위성 영상으로부터 한반도에서의 중파장적외선 복사율 산출방법에 대한 제안 및 토지피복 종류별 대표 복사율을 산출하여 한반도 배경값을 제시할 수 있다. 중파장적외선 복사율을 추정하기 위해 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite(VIIRS)의 $3.74{\mu}m$ 파장 대역 밴드4 영상에 Temperature Independent Spectral Indices(TISI) 방법을 적용하여 복사율을 계산하였으며, 또한 이와 비교하기 위해 Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer(ASTER) spectral library로부터 토지피복에 따른 복사율도 계산하였다. 그 결과 활엽수립(0.958) 및 혼합림(0.955) 지역의 연평균 복사율이 가장 높았으며 농지(0.925) 및 자연식생(0.935) 지역보다는 약 2-3% 높게 나타났다. 도심지역의 경우 0.914로 가장 낮으며 연간 변화율이 1%인 다른 지역과는 달리 약 2%로 그 편차가 크다. ASTER spectral library와 비교한 결과 위성영상에서 추정한 중파장적외선 복사율은 동일한 토지 피복에 비해 약 2-3% 낮게 나타나는데, 이는 실제 지표면이 불균질한 점 외 기타 다양한 원인에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 연구 결과는 중파장적외선 영상을 이용하여 지표온도 추정 및 토지피복도의 계절 및 외부환경 변화에 의한 한반도 중파장적외선 복사율의 변화 특성을 이해하는데 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Inter-fiber bonding is improved by refining resulting in higher Young's modulus. This effect is consistent to the changes of FTIR absorption intensities associated with the hydroxyl groups in the pulp samples. A PLS model, which is established to correlate the FTIR spectral data with the Young's modulus of the pulp samples for predicting the elastic Young's modulus of paper, is statistically robust.

As muscular contraction is sustained, the Fourier spectrum of the myoelectric signal is shifted toward the lower frequency. This spectral density is associated with muscle fatigue. This paper describes a quantitative measurement method that performs the measurement of localized muscle fatigue by tracking changes of median frequency based on stationary wavelet transform. Applying to the human masseter muscle, the proposed method offers the much information for muscle fatigue, comparing with the conventional FFT-based method for muscle fatigue measurement.
