어느 한 계가 양수의 발산지수(Lyapunov exponent)를 가질 때 이 계는 카오스계로 분류되며 그 동특성은 예측이 불가능해 진다. 감쇠 기계계(소산계)에서는 위상공간(phase space)의 초기 부피가 시간에 따라 수축한다. 발산 지수들의 합은 음수이며 그 기계계의 감쇠와 관련되며, 따라서 발산지수들의 합은 감쇠의 변화를 감시하는데 사용되어질 수 있다. 그러나 그 감쇠변화를 감시하기 위해서는 발산지수를 계산하는데 사용하는 신호(data) 부분(segment)이 짧아야 한다. 이는 문제점을 야기시키는데 그 이유는 발산지수가 아주 많은 양의 발산률(divergence rate)의 평균으로서 구해지기 때문이다. 이 문제를 극복하기 위해서, 본 저자는 '순간발산지수(Instantaneous Lyapunov Exponent)'를 도입하였으며, 이 순간발산지수들의 합이 어떻게 기계계의 감쇠와 관련되어지는 가에 대하여 기술하였다. 미분방적식과 시계열(time series)을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 '순간발산지수들의 합'의 중요성을 입증하였다. 그러나 시계열(또는 실험신호)로 부터의 정확한 순간발산지수를 측정하기는 매우 힘들기 때문에 '부분발산지수(Short term averaged Lyapunov Exponent)'를 또한 도입하였다.

본 논문은 ‘파트 1’에 그 기초를 두었으며, 실제 실험 상황에의 응용예를 들었다. 보편적인 ‘이중-우물 위치 진동기(double-well potential vibrator)'를 외부 공기압 감쇠기를 장치할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 감쇠는 높음 또는 낮음 으로 조정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 실험계는 주기운동부터 카오스 운동까지 다양한 동적 특성을 보여준다. 힘-위상(Force-Stare Mapping) 방법이 선형상태 및 카오스상태에 응용되었으며, 특히 감쇠의 높고 낮음의 파악에 그 중점을 두었다. 그리고 , 부분발산지수들(Short term averaged Lyapunov exponents)의 합이 또한 감쇠를 파악함과 동시에 높은 감쇠에서 낮은 감쇠로의 변화를 감시할 수 있음을 보였다. 이 두가지 방법들을 비교하였으며 논하였다.

A study on the attenuation of ground vibration was carried out on the soil layer using seismic exploration method. A 12-channel engineering seismograph was used to acquire real digital amplitude data in field work. Frequency analysis of seismic data shows maximum spectrum amplitude around 40Hz. Relative amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance increases and the attenuation factors are n = 0.25 and a = 0.13-0.20. Internal attenuation indexes(a) are 0.13 and 0.20 in the wet soil zone and the vegatated soil zone, respectively. It means that ground vibration attenuates faster in vegatated soil zone than in wet soil zone. Average internal attenuation coefficient(h) was determined to be 0.094 from seismic velocity and frequency analysis.

공동광자감쇠 분광학(Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy, CRDS)은 고감도의 흡수분광법으로 미량기체의 농도나 흡수분광선의 연구에 사용되어 왔으며 화염이나 플라스마에도 응용되고 있다. 이 분광법은 시간에 따라 지수함수로 감쇠하는 공동광자감쇠신호의 감쇠상수를 측정하는 기술인데, 레이저의 밴드폭이 흡수선폭보다 넓으면 감쇠신호가 지수함수에서 벗어나 오차를 발생하게 된다. 그러므로 오차를 줄이려면 좁은선폭의 레이저를 사용하거나 공동광자감쇠신호의 주파수를 분리하여야 한다. 분광선폭보다 매우 넓은 선폭의 레이저를 사용하고 분광기를 이용하여 공동광자감쇠신호를 분리하는 방법들이 제안되었다.

Attenuation coefficients of medical ultrasound not only reflect the pathological information of tissues scanned but also provide the quantitative information to compensate the decay of backscattered signals for other medical ultrasound parameters. Based on the frequency-selective attenuation property of human tissues, attenuation estimation methods in spectral domain have difficulties for real-time implementation due to the complexicity while estimation methods in time domain do not achieve the compensation for the diffraction effect effectively. In this paper, we propose the modified VSA method, which compensates the diffraction with reference phantom in time domain, using adaptive bandpass filters with decreasing center frequencies along depths. The adaptive bandpass filtering technique minimizes the distortion of relative echogenicity of wideband transmit pulses and maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio due to the random scattering, especially at deeper depths. Since the filtering center frequencies change according to the accumulated attenuation, the proposed algorithm improves estimation accuracy and precision comparing to the fixed filtering method. Computer simulation and experimental results using tissue-mimicking phantoms demonstrate that the distortion of relative echogenicity is decreased at deeper depths, and the accuracy of attenuation estimation is improved by 5.1% and the standard deviation is decreased by 46.9% for the entire scan depth.

The previous exponential experiment system has been improved for the automatical and accurate axial movement of the neutron source and detector with attaching the automatical control system which consists of a Programmable Logical Controller(PLC) and a stepping motor set. The automatic control program which controls MCA and PLC consistently has been also developed on the basis of GENIE 2000 Library. The exponential experiments have been carried out for Kori 1 unit spent fuel assemblies, Cl4, Jl4 and G23, and Kori 2 unit spent fuel assembly, J44, using the improved systematical measurement system. As the results, the average exponential decay constants for 4 assemblies are determined to be 0.1302, 0.1267, 0.1247, and 0.1210, respectively, with the application of Poisson regression.

This study attempted to find out the degree of agreement between ultrasound image findings along with analysis of attenuation index and scatter distribution index values within tissues through quantitative measurement analysis using liver ultrasound images. From August 2022 to October 2022, liver ultrasound was performed on 45 patients who were suspected of having fatty liver and who received a prescription for liver ultrasound. As a result of the study, as a result of analyzing the agreement between the ultrasound image findings and the tissue attenuation index, the Kappa value was 0.82 (p<0.05), showing a very high agreement between the two examination methods. In addition, as a result of the agreement analysis between the ultrasound image findings and the scatter distribution index in the tissue, the Kappa value was 0.642 (p<0.05), showing high agreement between the two examination methods. At the time of fat liver prediction, the use of liver ultrasound findings and quantitative ultrasonography techniques, such as intra-tissue attenuation index and intra-tissue scatter distribution index, may be helpful in determining the degree of progression of fatty liver patients.

The received signal strengths according to the propagation distance between a transmitting shore station with a 53 m antenna hight and a receiving ship station with about 6m antenna hight from 700 m upto about 20 km are measured at ship's moving velocity of $5{\pm}1m/s$ using a single carrier signal at 150.0625MHz. In this paper, the path loss exponents at the propagation distance from 700 m to 20km are estimated via minimum-mean-square-error method using the measurements of the received signal strength, and the mean of the estimated path loss exponent become 3.79. The estimated propagation path loss exponents is similar to that calculated based on the field-strength values from 2 km to 20 km in Annex 2 of ITU-R P.1546-4, which is measuring results at maritime VHF at 100 MHz carrier frequency. Therefore, the estimated propagation path loss exponent shall be used as the expected path loss exponents for summer in costal area of South Sea of Korea.

Sihwa seadike is originally designed to control the water level In lake Sihwa. However the sluice gate is being operated everyday to preserve the water quality of lake. Due to the frequent operation of gates the bottom of drainage canal which is composed of weathered rock and soft rock is being scoured. Recently the bottom in the front area of apron was protected by putting underwater concrete. This study is carried out to understand the hydraulic situation for protection, and to estimate the trend of scouring by comparing between energy dissipation and registance of bottom rock. Annandale(1995) introduced the erodibility index theory, and suggested a criteria to judge the erodibility of rock through the relation between the erodibility index and energy dissipation. Determenation of erodibility index of rock is based on the results of sample core analysis, and the energy dissipation of flow is calculated from the estimation of total head on the scale model. These two values are plotted on the criteria, and the erodibility of rock is determined.

Error characteristics of a mirror loss measurement system using an exponential decay method were studied, with the two samples having about 200-ppm-loss and 30-ppm-loss, respectively. In order to minimize the decay signal deviation from an exponential curve due to cavity length fluctuation, a data average method was tried. The data average method significantly improved the exponential curve fitting error of the decay signal, so that for a 6 decay signal data average the loss measurement error was reduced by about 2.4 times for the 200-ppm-loss mirror and 1.3 times for the 30-ppm-loss mirror compared with a single shot measurement. Day-to-day mirror loss repeatability error for the two samples was investigated. The repeatability error was measured to be about 5% for the 200-ppm-loss mirror and about 26.4% for the 30-ppm-loss mirror. Low decay signal average effect and high repeatability error in the low loss mirror measurement were explained with non-uniform spatial loss distribution of the sample and contamination from the environment, in addition to the error sources of the mirror loss measurement system itself. The influence of cavity length fluctuation and cavity length measurement error on the mirror loss measurement system performance was theoretically calculated. It confirmed that the requirement for the cavity length parameters was not so strict in the mirror loss measurement system of several ppm resolution. ution.
