This study proposes phonation type index k as a descriptor of the overall spectral tilt, which is free from the effects of fundamental frequency and vowel quality. The newly proposed phonation type index k presents a simple and single measure of the overall spectral tilt. Phonation type index k can be applied to speech technology. It can also be used in diagnosing patients voice qualities in speech pathology. The distribution of phonation type index k, which is speaker-dependent, may be useful in forensic phonetics and voice recognition as an indicator of speaker identity.

This work aims to establish some X-ray qualities recommended by the International Standard Organization (ISO) using the half-value layer (HVL) and H_p(10) dosimetry approaches. The HVL values of the following qualities N-60, N-80, N-100, N-150 and N-250 were determined using various attenuation layers. The obtained results were compared to those of reference X-ray beam qualities and a good agreement was found (difference less than 5% for all qualities). The GAMOS (Geant4-based Architecture for Medicine-Oriented Simulations) radiation transport Monte Carlo toolkit was employed to simulate the production of X-ray spectra. The characteristics HVLs, mean energy and the spectral resolution of simulated spectra have been calculated and turned out to be conform to the ISO reference ones (difference less than the limit allowed by ISO). Furthermore, the conversion coefficients from air kerma to personal dose equivalent for simulated and measured spectra were fairly similar (the maximum difference less than 4.2%).

The STC(Sinusoidal Transform Coding) is a vocoding technique that uses a sinusoidal speech model to obtain high- quality speech at low data rate. It models and synthesizes the speech signal with fundamental frequency and its harmonic elements in frequency domain. To reduce the data rate, it is necessary to represent the sinusoidal amplitudes and phases with as small number of peaks as possible while maintaining the speech quality. As a basic research to develop a low-rate speech coding algorithm using the sinusoidal model, in this paper, we investigate the speech quality depending on the number of sinusoids. By varying the number of spectral peaks from 5 to 40 speech signals are reconstructed, and then their qualities are evaluated using spectral envelope distortion measure and MOS(Mean Opinion Score). Two approaches are used to obtain the spectral peaks: one is a conventional STFT (Short-Time Fourier Transform), and the other is a multiresolutional analysis method.

Electrochemical methods have been widely used to study the performances and mechanisms for the degradation of organic and inorganic coatings. In this study, EN(Electrochemical noise) measurement was applied to the protective properties and review the parameters analyzed noise signals in the time and in the frequency domain for epoxy resin based coated steels during exposure to hot sea water($40^{\circ}C$) and salt spray for 200 days. It was also found that $R_n$(Noise resistance), $R_{sn}$($f_{min}$)(Spectral noise resistance) and 2H(Hurst exponent) represented the performance of epoxy coated steels. $R_n$ can be determined as the ratio of the standard deviations of potential and current noise signals and is decreased to exposure time. Data qualities can be easily checked by PSD(Power Spectral Density) plot and $V_{psd}$, $I_{psd}$ and $R_{sn}$($f_{min}$) is useful to research the protective performances and mechanisms of coated steels. Hurst exponent represents the degradation of coated steels. But, it is difficult to directly apply the protective criterion to the evaluation of epoxy coated steels used the shipbuilding processes.

본 논문은 아리랑 2호와 3호에 대한 고해상 다분광 영상 제작을 위한 효과적인 영상융합 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 기법은 널리 알려져 있는 CS 기반의 영상융합 기법을 기본으로 하고 있다. 제안된 기법의 융합 과정은 크게 두 가지 단계로 구분할 수 있다. 첫 번째는 가중 평균된 다분광 영상을 이용한 Intensity 영상의 제작 단계와 두 번째는 최적화된 융합 매개변수를 통한 고주파 영상의 생성 단계이다. 제안된 기법에서는 기존의 방법을 개선한 다른 새로운 형식의 융합 매개변수를 정의하였으며, 이는 고주파 영상, 전정색 영상과 다분광 영상 간 공분산/분산 비를 이용하여 도출된다. 본 알고리즘의 평가를 위해서 기존의 융합 방법들의 결과와 정량적, 시각적 비교분석을 수행하였다. 정량적 분석에는 Spatial ERGAS, Spectral ERGAS, SAM, Q4 평가 지표가 사용되었다. 분석결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 CS 기반의 영상융합 기법에 비하여 공간적/분광적인 측면에서 모두 향상된 결과를 나타냈다.

UWB 통신 기술은 초광대역 특성 때문에 높은 전송 속도와 저전력 통신이 가능하여 의료장비에 응용이 가능하다 특히 근거리 무선 통신 기술로 급부상하고 있는 UWB 통신 기술의 응용으로 의료 측정기인 ECG 센서 시스템을 고려할 수 있다 본 논문에서는 유선 심전도 센서를 무선 링크로 대체하는 것으로, UWB에 사용가능한 각종 펄스의 스펙트럼 특성을 FCC Spectral Mask와 FCC indoor limit에 비교하였다. 또한, 적용하고자 하는 시스템 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 UWB 신호 간섭의 영향에 따른 UWB 송수신 시스템을 근거리 송수 거리에 따른 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, Rake 수신기를 사용하면 약 10m까지 신뢰성을 가지는 통신을 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An experimental work was conducted to investigate a feasibility of simultaneous measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flowrates with double orifice plates using air and water. The tests were carried out under the atmospheric pressure and at the ambient temperature using two different tube sizes. Qualities of an air-water flow in the present study have values less than 0.1 and thus the mixed flow showed bubbly, plug, slug flow regimes. The probability density function (PDF) and the power spectral density function (PSDF) of the instantaneous pressure drop traces for the flow regimes were obtained. It is found that some distinctive features exist in the distribution of these functions, depending upon the two-phase flow pattern. The time-averaged value of the instantaneous pressure drop increases with increasing gas and liquid flowrates, showing a single-valued function for the total mass flowrate and the quality. It is also found that the two-phase discharge coefficient exhibits a consistent trend for variation of dimensionless parameters such as the superficial velocity ratio and the gas Reynolds number. The results indicate that simultaneous measurement of two-phase flowrate may be possible based upon a statistical analysis of the instantaneous pressure drop curves monitored using double orifice plates.

The current study investigated the influence of age of L2 acquisition (AOA) and length of residence (LOR) in the L2 setting country on the production of voicing-conditioned vowel duration and spectral qualities in English by Korean learners. The primary aim was to explore the ways in which the language-specific phonetic features are acquired by the age of onset and L2 experience. Analyses of the archived corpus data produced by 45 native speakers of Korean showed that, regardless of AOA or LOR, absolute vowel duration was used as a salient correlate of voicing contrast in English for Korean learners. The accuracy of relative vowel duration was influenced more by onset age than by L2 experience, suggesting that being exposed to English at an early age may benefit the acquisition of temporal dimension. On the other hand, the spectral characteristics of English vowels were more consistently influenced by L2 experience, indicating that immersive experience in the L2 speaking environment are likely to improve the accurate production of vowel quality. The distinct influence of the onset age and L2 experience on the specific phonetic cues in L2 vowel production provides insight into the intricate relationship between the two factors on the manifestation of L2 phonological knowledge.

It is important to investigate the hull response of a fishing vessel in waves to ensure the safety of it and to keep excellent sea-keeping qualities. For this purpose we measured the response of fishing vessels in waves using real sea experimental measuring system, We analyze the experimental data by statistical method and spectral analysis to get the characteristics of the response of vessels which have different tonnage. In this real sea experiment we use three stern trawlers which are the training ship in university. We know that the distribution of experimental response have Gauss distribution and Rayleigh distribution and smaller vessels have larger response.
