The performance and hardware complexity of LDPC decoders depend on the design parameters of quantization, the clipping threshold $c_{th}$ and the number of quantization bits q, and also on the maximum number of decoding iterations. In this paper, the BER performances of LDPC codes are evaluated according to the clipping threshold $c_{th}$ and the number of quantization bits q through the simulation studies. By comparing the quantized Min-Sum algorithm with the ideal Min-Sum algorithm, it is shown that the quantized case with $c_{th}=2.5$ and q=6 has the best performance, which approaches the idea case. The decoding complexities are calculated and the word error rates(WER) are estimated by using the pdf which is obtained through the statistical analyses on the iteration numbers. These results can be utilized to tradeoff between the decoding performance and the complexity in LDPC decoder design.

This study determined appropriate threshold level (cumulative period and percentage) of precipitation for drought management in dam basin. The 5 dam basins were selected, the daily dam storage level and daily precipitation data were collected. MAP (Mean Areal Precipitation was calculated by using Thiessen polygon method, and MAP were converted to accumulated values for 6 cumulative periods (30-, 60-, 90-, 180-, 270-, and 360-day). The correlation coefficient and ratio of variation coefficient between storage level and MAP for 6 cumulative periods were used to determine the appropriate cumulative period. Correlation of cumulative precipitation below 90-day was low, and that of 270-day was high. Correlation was high when the past precipitation during the flood period was included within the cumulative period. The ratio of variation coefficient was higher for the shorter cumulative period and lower for the longer in all dam, and that of 270-day precipitation was closed to 1.0 in every month. ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) analysis with TLWSA (Threshold Line of Water Supply Adjustment) was used to determine the percentage of precipitation shortages. It is showed that the percentage of 270-day cumulative precipitation on Boryung dam and other 4-dam were less than 90% and 80% as threshold level respectively, when the storage was below the attention level. The relationship between storage and percentage of dam outflow and precipitation were analyzed to evaluate the impact of artificial dam operations on drought analysis, and the magnitude of dam outflow caused uncertainty in the analysis between precipitation and storage data. It is concluded that threshold level should be considered for dam drought analysis using based on precipitation.

In GvdW EOS, a recently presented paper, shows that the characteristic status for spherical non-linear particle, of which the mutual behavior is known to be vdWf(van der Waals force) only, could be described well enough in the critical region. However, in current papers, analysis has not been done on GvdW about whether it is accurate or not, even for the particles in the linear form or those with the additional mutual behavior such as static-electricity, so there's some argument about the wide use of that. Therefore, in this paper, for the simulation in the critical region of Normal-alkane group(R=methane, ethane, propane, butane) which are the particles that has a linear charateristic and Normal-amine group($RNH_2$, R=methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-amine) where static-electricity is extremely shown, GvdW parameter values about these particles are defined, and based on this simulation, we compared results to the current EOS presented recently, and analyzed them. Through the simulation, it was shown that in case of Normal-alkane group and Normal-amine group molecules, GvdW presents an accurate critical region characteristic which is far more close to the measurement compared to current EOSs. Especially for butane with big amount in molecules, we found out that only GvdW EOS can reach close enough to the critical point.

This paper presents unsteady computational investigations and wind tunnel tests on the flow field around a square cylinder with a gap between the body and the ground plane. Two-dimensional unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes codes are developed for the computation of the viscous turbulent flows. By computing the flow around a square cylinder without ground effect, three two-equation turbulence models are evaluated and the developed code is validated. The results show a good agreement with experimental values and other computational results. Critical gap height at which the formation of Karman vortex streets is interrupted, is demonstrated and another transition regime is pointed out

분류문제에서 유용한 학습패턴은 클래스들간의 분류경계에 근접한 정상패턴들을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 구조와 학습 파라미터를 가진 신경망 앙상블을 구성하고 그 출력값의 편기와 분산에 기초한 패턴절수를 정의한다. 전체 학습패턴 중 일정한 임계값 이상의 패턴점수를 가진 패턴들만이 학습패턴으로 선정된다. 제안한 방법은 두 개의 인공문제와 두 개의 실제문제 (UCI Repository)에 적응, 검증되었다. 그 결과 선택된 패턴만으로 학습한 경우, 메모리 공간 절약 및 계산시간 단축의 효과뿐만 아니라 복잡도가 큰 모델이라도 과적합을 하지 않았고 실험적으로 안정된 결과를 산출했으며, 적은 수의 학습패턴만으로도 일반화 성능을 향상시키거나 적어도 저하시키지 않았다는 것을 보였다.

Characteristics of secondary vortices is topologically investigated in the near-wake region of a circular cylinder where the Taylor hypothesis does not hold. The three-dimensional flow fields in the wake-transition regime were measured by a time-resolved PIV. For the analysis in a moving frame of reference, the convection velocity of the Karman vortices is evaluated from the trajectory of vortex center which is defined as the centroid of the vorticity field. Then, a saddle point is obtained by applying the critical point theory. Science the distributions of fluctuating Reynolds stresses defined by triple-decomposition are closely related with the existence of secondary vortices. the physical meaning of them is explained in conjunction with vortex center and saddle point trajectories. Finally, the temporal evolution of streamwise vortex is also discussed.

밀집된 돈방에서 사육되는 돼지의 공격적인 행동들은 돼지의 성장에 심각한 악영향을 주고, 이는 농가의 경제적 손실로 이어진다. 따라서 돈방 내의 비정상 상황들을 지속적으로 모니터링할 수 있는 IT기반의 영상 감시 시스템이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 돼지의 행동 분석 이전에 필수적으로 선행되어야 하는 개별 돼지의 탐지를 위한 키넥트 카메라 기반의 새로운 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저, 배경차영상 기법과 깊이 임계값을 이용하여 서있는 돼지만을 탐지한다. 둘째, 서있는 돼지들 중에서 움직임이 있는 돼지만을 관심영역으로 설정하여 탐지한다. 마지막으로, 서서 움직이는 돼지들 사이에서 발생하는 근접 문제를 깊이 정보를 이용한 등고선기법을 제안 적용하여 돼지 객체의 탐지를 완성한다. 실제 세종에 위치한 한 돈사에서 취득한 깊이 영상 정보를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템의 성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Recently, a location-based threshold-endorsement(LTE) scheme is proposed to thwart bogus data injection attacks. The scheme exhibits much greater filtering power than earlier symmetric schemes and results in enhanced energy savings. In this paper, we show that LTE has fatal vulnerabilities. We also propose an improved scheme that mitigates the weakness and thereby achieves the original claims without lessening remarkable filtering power intended in LTE.

Abnormal situation caused by aggressive behavior of pigs adversely affects the growth of pigs, and comes with an economic loss in intensive pigsties. Therefore, IT-based video surveillance system is needed to monitor the abnormal situations in pigsty continuously in order to minimize the economic demage. In this paper, we propose a new Kinect camera-based monitoring system for the detection of the individual pigs. The proposed system is characterized as follows. 1) The background subtraction method and depth-threshold are used to detect only standing-pigs in the Kinect-depth image. 2) The moving-pigs are labeled as regions of interest. 3) A contour method is proposed and applied to solve the touching-pigs problem in the Kinect-depth image. The experimental results with the depth videos obtained from a pig farm located in Sejong illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a noncoherent OOK (On-Off Keying) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) system based on power detection with noise power calibration and noise power windowing for ubiquitous sensor network applications in typical indoor wireless channels. Utilizing noise power calibration and noise power windowing, the current noise information can be initially or adaptively provided to determine suitable detection threshold value for signal demodulation. Simulation results show that the noncoherent OOK UWB system using noise power calibration achieves good BER (Bit Error Rate) performance which is favorably comparable to that of the system using the ideal adaptive threshold, while maintaining simple receiver structure. However, despite the serious loss of the data transmission rate, the performance improvement by noise power windowing is not so remarkable. furthermore, these performance results are similarly maintained in BEE 802.15 Task Group 3a UWB indoor channel model, and it is also revealed that the BER performance can be significantly improved by increasing the pulse repetition rate.
