For the application of the neutron flux mapping, an accurate calculation of the sensitivity is required because the sensitivity is proportional to the neutron flux density. Sensitivity is defined as the current per unit length per unit neutron flux and it mainly depends on the depression factor(f), the escape probability from the emitter($\varepsilon$1) and the charge build-up factor of the insulator layer(c). A Monte Carlo simulation was accomplished to calculate the sensitivity of rhodium emitter material and alumina(Al$_2$O$_3$) insulator with a cylindrical geometry, based on the (n,${\beta}$) interaction and on other interaction including the secondary electron generation for the more accurate estimation of the sensitivity. From the simulation results, factors fur the sensitivity were accurately calculated and compared with other theoretical and experimental values. In addition, the sensitivity linearly increases and saturates as the emitter radius increases. The accomplished method is useful in the analysis for the change of SPND sensitivity as a function of burn-up and in the optimum design of SPND.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new method for information system sizing and selection based on a hybrid mixture of simulation and genetic algorithm, and to show its cost-effectiveness by applying it to a real world problem. To serve this purpose, we propose an operational model which identifies a set of system alternatives using simulation, and determines the optimal one using genetic algorithm. Specifically, with simulation, we generate probability distributions describing real data gathered from actual system, which can overcome the major weakness of the existing methodology that normally employs point estimates of the actual data and constant correction factors without theoretical rationale. We next search for the optimal combination of H/W, the number of CPUs, and S/W, which meets both of our business goals of incurring low TCO(total cost of ownership) and maintaining a good level of transaction processing performance. Experimental result shows the proposed method in this paper saves the cost while it preserves the system's capacity within allowable performance range.

This paper presents the modified LVQ method for performance improvement of pattern classification. The proposed method uses the skewness of probability distribution between the input vectors and the reference vectors. During training, the reference vectors are closest to the input vectors using the probabilistic distribution of the input vectors, and they are positioned to approximate the decision surfaces of the theoretical Bayes classifier. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments on the Gaussian distribution data set, and the Fisher's IRIS data set. The experimental results show that the proposed method considerably improves on the performance of the LVQ1, LVQ2, and GLVQ.

In this paper, we propose an error detection scheme of phase offsets for binary sequences including PN (Pseudo Noise) sequences based on the number theoretical approach. It is important to know phase offsets of spreading sequences in the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile communication systems because phase offsets of the same spreading sequence are used to achieve the acquisition and are used to distinguish each base station. When the period of the sequence is not very long, the relative phase offset between the sequence and its shifted replica can be found by comparing them, but as the period of the sequence increases it becomes difficult to find the phase offset. The error detection failure probability of the proposed method is derived, and it is confirmed by the simulation results. We also discuss the circuit realization of the proposed method and show it can be easily implemented.

Recommendation ITU-R S.1062 specifies the performance of digital satellite systems. The performance objectives were given in terms of bit error probability divided by the average number of errors per burst versus percentage of time. This performance objective is highly dependent on the forward error correction(FEC) coding schemes used in the system. This implies that we need an effective way of estimating the error performance of a system by the given FEC scheme. In this paper, we derive theoretical formula to estimate performance measure of digital satellite systems defined in Recommendation ITU-R S.1062. We demonstrate various estimation results, and verify them by comparing to the simulation results.

In this paper, the performance of the narrowband channelized radiometer that have a short detection time and high time-resolution was verified based on the theoretical formula. According to the simulation result, the channelized radiometer showed 2.5 dB superior detection performance compared to the broadband radiometer, but is more sensitive to the effects of noise than the broadband radiometer. Also the signal-to-noise of a channelized radiometer was changed dramatically according to the hop rate and jitter effect, which is linearly decreased as the change of two parameters.

Fluctuation statistics of scattering strength are not only important because they impact the performance of active sonar systems, but also because they may provide insight into the major scattering process. In this article, analysis of the statistical characteristics of bottom backscattering, measured in shallow water, are presented. The slowly moving experimental sonar was operated at 30kHz to gather data over the bottom. Spatial and temporal correlation functions of the signal amplitudes were measured. The distribution function and probability of false alarm function of the detected envelope of widebeam and narrowbeam signals were measured. An attempt was made to compare the results with existing theoretical models. The result suggests that the statistical characteristics of bottom backscattering fluctuation of moving source is differ from that of fixed source.

Theoretical developments in the information retrieval have offered a number of alternatives to traditional Boolean retrieval. Probability theory and fuzzy set theory have played prominent roles here. Fuzzy set theory is an attempt to generalize traditional set theory by permitting partial membership in a set and this means recognizing different degrees to which a document can match a request. In this study, an experimentation of a document retrieval system using the fuzzy relation matrix of the keywords is described and the results are offered. The queries composed of keywords and Boolean operaters AND, OR, NOT were processed in the retrieval method, and the method was implemented on the PC of 32bit level (30 MHz) in an experimental system. The measurement of the recall ratio and precision ratio verified the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy relation matrix of keywords and retrieval method. Compared to traditional crisp method in the same document database, the recall ratio increased $10\%$ high although the precision ratio decreased slightly. The problems, in this experiment, to be resolved are first, the design of the automatic data input and fuzzy indexing modules, through which the system . can have the ability of competition and usefulness. Second, devising a systematic procedure for assigning fuzzy weights to keywords in documents and in queries.

We proposed a design method for squib current supply & interlock circuits in guided-missile fire control systems. In order to design squib current supply circuits, various missile squib loads including line resistance and squib devices have to be considered in advance minimizing probability of redesign of circuits and reducing the development cost by implementing the most proper squib current supply circuit. Also, we presented a hardware interlock logic instead of the commonly used software safety logic to improve the safety of guided-missile fire control systems. The proposed squib interlock circuit enhances safety requirements of guided-missile fire control systems. We confirmed that simulation and measurement results of the proposed design method are the same as theoretical analysis results.

A bio-optical model was developed specific for turbid and shallow waters. Special studies were carried out to estimate absorption and scattering properties as well as backscattering probability of suspended matter. The inversion of bio-optical model allows for direct retrieval of turbidity and chlorophyll- a from the visible-near infrared (VNIR) range sensor. Time-series satellite imagery from ASTER AM-1 sensor, were used to monitor the Laguna de Bay water quality condition. Spatial distribution of temperature for the lake was extracted from the thermal infrared (TIR) sensor. Corresponding field surveys were conducted to parameterize the bio -optical model. In-situ measurements include suspended particle and chlorophyll-a concentrations profiles from nephelometric devices and processing of water samples. Hyperspectral measurements were used to validate results of the bio -optical model and satellite- based estimation. This study provides a theoretical basis and a practical illustration of applying space- based measurements on an operational basis.
