Intensive studies on Kyongsang Korean tone and tone related processes have been carried out by many scholars. But intonation of this dialect has never been investigated. In this paper, I discuss the relationship between tone and intonation and describe phrasal tones and nuclear tones in Kyongsang Korean.

In Korean traditional music, the frequency of Hwang-Jong tone is not known precisely, to say nothing of the temperament. So we measured the frequency of Hwang-Jong tone in solo pieces for the woodwind instruments such as daegum, piri and danso. According to the results of the measurement, the frequency of Hwang-Jong tone is about 328Hz, which is closer to the frequency of E$_3$(330Hz) than that of E$^b_3$(311Hz). This result is different from the existing theory that the frequency of Hwang-Jong tone is close to that of E$^b_3$.

This study examines how an initially perceived product value affects consumer's purchase intention after reading online reviews with various tones. The study proposes that associations among initially perceived overall product value, degree of confirmation resulting from reading the reviews, and final purchase intention differ across review tones such that 1) when the tone is favorable, the effect of an initially perceived product value is stronger than when the tone is critical, and 2) when the tone is extreme, the effect of confirmation is stronger than when the tone is moderate. The survey was conducted with 276 online shopping mall users in Korea, and most of the hypotheses were supported. This study asserts that the effects of online reviews should be considered together with customer's level of expectation formed prior to reading online reviews, which resulted from extensive search and screening processes that the customer went through before reading online reviews.

The objective of this study is do obtain the relationship between the acoustic mode and cavity tone induced in a perforated tube exhaust muffler. First, the modal frequency for the axisymmetric radial mode and the mode shape have been computed using the impedance model for the perforated tube. Then, experiment has been perfonned for the onset frequencies of the cavity tone for various design parameters and through-flow. The theoretically obtained modal frequencies are well consistent with the measured onset frequencies of the cavity tone, showing that the cavity tone is induced by the axisymmetric radial mode. And it is found that the modal frequency of a perforated tube muffler is much lower than that of a simple expansion chamber.

Among 96 color combination stimuli, male students evaluated 47 set as harmonized, but female students evaluated 32 set, so proved that male's range of harmony more extensive than that of female. Specially red shirt and yellow red necktie in all tone was evaluated as harmonized coloration by both male and female students. Female evaluated as the best harmonious coloration that red shirt-yellow necktie in dark, blue shirt-yellow necktie in dark, purple shirt-red necktie in light, green shirt-blue necktie in dull, and male evaluated red shirt-yellow red necktie in light, blue shirt-yellow necktie in light, purple shirt-red necktie in light, green shirt-yellow necktie in dark. It is significant difference between female and male on red-green in vivid, and blue-purple in vivid, blue-blue in dull, blue-yellow in dark, and purple-purple in dull. And shirt color and necktie color, necktie color and tone, tone and perceiver' gender influenced on the harmony evaluation by interaction.

The back-off input power level method is generally used for design of high linear mixer. In this paper, the predistortive mixer design method which attaches the predistortor in front of mixer is proposed to compensate the nonlinear characteristics of mixer and the predistortor has inverse nonlinear characteristics of mixer. The proposed method improves C/I ratio of mixer by 22 dB (@Po=-20 dBm/tone), 21.7 dB(@Po=-17 dBm/tone) with two tones of RF at 1852.5MHz, 1857.5MHz and LO at 2015MHz, respectively.

The directional MAC (DMAC) protocol improves the spatial reuse, but directional packets on the control channel cause the deafness problem. In this paper, we propose a tone dual-channel DMAC protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. In the proposed MAC protocol, the use of omnidirectional transmissions using an omnidirectional out-of-band tone solves the deafness problem and decrease packet collisions on the control channel. The use of an omnidirectional out-of-band tone also mitigates the hidden terminal problem. We use the negative CTS (NCTS) mechanism to solve the exposed terminal problem. The throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by simulations using the Qualnet simulator.

The tone reservation method is one of the most effective pre-distortion methods for peak-to-average power ratio reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Its direct application to OFDM systems with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) is, however, not effective. In this paper, two novel TR-based methods are proposed, specifically designed for OFDM/OQAM systems by taking into consideration the overlapping nature of OQAM signals. These two methods have different approaches to the generation of the peak-cancelling signal. The first one (overlapped scaling tone reservation) generates the peak-cancelling signal using a least squares approximation algorithm with possible adjacent symbol overlap; the second one (multi-kernel tone reservation) generates the peak-cancelling signal by using multiple impulse-like time domain kernels. It is shown by simulation that, when used in OFDM/OQAM systems, the proposed methods can provide better performance than the direct application of the existing controlled clipping tone reservation method, and even outperform the multi-block tone reservation method.

In this work, we suggested the method which improves the efficiency of the face detection algorithm using Pulse-Coupled Neural Network. Face detection algorithm which uses the color information is independent on size, angle, and obstruction of a face. But the use of color information encounters some problems arising from skin-tone color in the background, intensity variation within faces, and presence of random noise, and so on. Depending on these conditions, we obtained the mean and variance of skin-tone colors by experiments. Then we introduce a preprocess that the pixel with a mean value of skin-tone colors has highest level value(255) and the other pixels in the skin-tone region have values between 0 and 255 according to a normal distribution with a variance. This preprocess leads to an easy decision of the linking parameters.

This paper presents a remote patient monitoring system for diagnostic pure-tone audiometry. A pure-tone audiometer was developed for basic hearing screening; its performance was evaluated according to international standards in terms of linearity, accuracy, and total harmonic distortion. Pure-tone audiometry has a maximum hearing level of 104.9 dB HL that is comparable with other commercial products. The audiometer shows satisfactory linearity with a deviation of ${\pm}0.4dB$, an accuracy of ${\pm}0.025%$, and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.21%. The remote patient monitoring systems include remote control devices based on wide area network (WAN) connections and an audiometer connected in series. Through experimentation, we successfully performed real-time diagnostic communication without delay in transferring audiometric data. This system is expected to supply domestic equipment in the audiometric market and to improve the quality of life of patients in non-clinical environments.
