This paper proposes a new method of the structure pruning of dynamic recurrent neural networks (DRNN) using evolutionary computations. In general, evolutionary computations are population-based search methods, therefore it is very useful when several different properties of neural networks need to be optimized. In order to prune the structure of the DRNN in this paper, we used the evolutionary programming that searches the structure and weight of the DRNN and evolution strategies which train the weight of neuron and pruned the net structure. An addition or elimination of the hidden-layer's node of the DRNN is decided by mutation probability. Its strategy is as follows, the node which has mhnimum sum of input weights is eliminated and a node is added by predesignated probability function. In this case, the weight is connected to the other nodes according to the probability in all cases which can in- 11:ract to the other nodes. The proposed pruning scheme is exemplified on the stabilization and position control of the inverted-pendulum system and visual servoing of a robot manipulator and the effc: ctiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

In the assembling process by industrial robots, many difficulties stem from the fact that the assembly operation is impossible or the parts to be assembled can be damaged by reaction forces due to even little misalignment in part mating. In this paper a flexible and sensible robot wrist is developed to make possible the precision insertion operation. The flexibility of the developed wrist were evaluated both analytically and experimentally in actual insertion process. The results show that without the use of feedback control the wrist is capable of doing insertion operations with a small clearance at a low inserting force. For smaller clearance the assembly process was devised involving insertion force feedback and a control algorithm for this active accommodation was developed. The simulation results show that if the active feedback control is used the insertion action can be performed with much less force, as compared with a passive accommodation method.

This study examines the identities shifting experiences of the ethnic Chinese refugee migrants who have returned to Vietnam. Their complex and hybrid identities as diaspora is an analytical and empirical subject for this study. Since the Vietnamese government implemented the renovation (đổi mới) policy in 1986, the number of overseas Vietnamese returning to Vietnam for visit, work, investment and retirement has been increasing. Among the returnees, many are ethnic Chinese, as there were many Chinese Vietnamese in the Vietnamese refugee diaspora from Vietnam during the 1970s and the 1980s. When they left Vietnam they were called 'the Hoa' (Chinese) or 'Hoa kiều' (overseas Chinese). When they returned, however, they were recognised together with all other returnees into the category of Việt kiều (overseas Vietnamese). Although their 'Chinese' identity had once made them to risk their lives, their 'Vietnamese' identity brought them back to Vietnam at other turning points in their lives. The shifting identity of these returning Chinese Vietnamese has produced dynamic and complex migration stories and an intriguing category of hybrid diaspora.

This study analyzed the consciousness, unconsciousness, and individuation process of 'Cheongmyeong', the protagonist presented in the webtoon "Return of the Blossoming Blade", based on Jung's theory of individuation. The subject of the research was the webtoon "Return of the Blossoming Blade", which has formed a readership across various genders and age groups, based on a successful web novel. The individuation process of the protagonist of "Return of the Blossoming Blade", analyzed using Jung's theory, is as follows: Firstly, the protagonist's ego originated from the shadow derived from the unconscious. Secondly, the protagonist's persona is social and positive in reality, but the personal persona manifested as an unrevealed shadow. Thirdly, the protagonist's anima/animus connects the profound inner consciousness with reality, maintaining a complementary relationship with the persona. Fourthly, the protagonist's Self symbolizes the collective ideal human and the essence of the volcano. The protagonist was shown to achieve individuation through a continuous repetitive process of integrating consciousness and unconsciousness, and through the compensatory process.

We improve the performance of WCDMA repeater by cancelling the feedback interference radio signal under the fixed point implementation. Floating-point DSP or FPGA to implement the ICS algorithm may have an disadvantage of high cost, To solve this problem, we suggest the ICS algorithm based on LMS under fixed point operation, and show the validity of our results by comparing with the floating-point results through numerical simulation.

The paper presents a new method for analyzing oscillation regions of transistor oscillators. In transistor feedback oscillators oscillation region appears as a circle in feedback impedance complex plane. When the resistive component of feedback impedance is fixed and the reactive component of feedback impedance is varied or vice versa, the locus of maximum negative output conductance becomes hyperbola. In transistor crystal oscillators oscillation region is determined by two circles which make real part and imaginary part of input impedance zero in load impedance complex plane. When the resistive compoment of load impedance is fixed and the reactive colnponent of load impedance is varied or vice versa, the loci of maximum or minimum resistive component of input impedance become straight lines.

In this paper, we propose an efficient bias circuit of discrete BJT component for hearing aid. The collector feedback bias circuit, widely used for the hearing aid, has a resistor for negative feedback. As the resistor affects AC and DC simultaneously, it is quite difficult to adjust amplifier gain without changing DC bias point. The previous bias circuit also has weak point to be oscillated by the positive feedback of power noise if gain of hearing aid is high. In the proposed circuit, we can reduce the two weak points of the previous circuit by adding a resistor to the collector feedback bias circuit between base and power supply which is $\beta$ times target than the collector resistor. Thus. we can change amplifier gain without changing DC bias point, and reduce power noise gain about 18.5% compare to that of tile previous circuit in the simulation.

A key issue toward mobile multimedia communications is to create technologies for broadband signal transmission that ran support high quality services. Such a broadband mobile communications system should be able to overcome severe distortion caused by time-varying multi-path fading channel, while providing high spectral efficiency and low power consumption. For these reasons, an adaptive suboptimum decision feedback equalize. (DFE) for the single-carrier short-burst transmissions system is considered as one of the feasible solutions. For the performance improvement of the system with the short-burst format including the short training sequence, in this paper, the multiple-training least mean square (MTLMS) based DFE scheme with soft decision feedback is proposed and its performance is investigated in mobile wireless channels throughout computer simulation.

This paper deals with the robust nonlinear controller design using output feedback for a Chua circuit which is one of the well-known nonlinear models. First, an exosystem for reference signal tracking is defined, and error dynamic equations are derived from the differentiation of the output tracking error equation. The normal sliding surface is modified using the integral type servo compensator. The parameters in the equations of the modified sliding surface and servo compensator are determined by using the Hurwitz condition of stability. Especially the error signals can't be obtained directly from the output because all parameters are assumed unknown. So instead, a high gain observer is designed. From this estimated error signals, a stabilizing controller is designed. Simulation is done for demonstrating the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm.
