It has been found through physiological experiments that the visual neurons constituting the human visual cortex do not respond to all visual stimuli, but to a visual stimuli with specific conditions. In order to interpret such physiological experiments, a model that can simulate the firing characteristics of neurons including a linear filter with random gain was proposed. It has been proven through experiments that subspaces are formed. To verify the validity of the implemented model, the distribution of values for two pixels randomly extracted from four different visual stimulus data was observed. The difference between the two distributions was confirmed by extracting the central coordinate value, that is, the coordinate value with the most values, from the distribution of the total stimulus data and the spike ignition stimulus data. In the case of the entire set, it was verified through experiments that the stimulus data generating spikes is a subset or subspace of the entire stimulus data. This study can be used as a basic study related to the mechanism of spikes in response to visual stimuli.

Analog-digital converter (ADC) should be one of the most important blocks that convert various physical signals to digital ones for signal processing in the digital signal domain. As most operations of the analog circuit for sensor signal processing have been replaced by digital circuits, high-resolution performance is required for ADC. In addition, low-power must be the critical issue in order to extend the battery time of mobile system. The existing integrating sigma-delta ADCs has a characteristic of high resolution, but due to its low supply voltage condition and advanced technology, circuit error and corresponding resolution degradation of ADC result from the finite gain of the operational amplifier in the integrator. Buffer compensation technique can be applied to minimize gain errors, but there is a disadvantage of additional power dissipation due to the added buffer. In this paper, incremental signal-delta ADC is proposed with buffer switching scheme to minimize current and igh-pass bias circuit to improve the settling time.

The high porosity of the infill pattern of carbon chopped fiber-reinforced Nylon composite structures fabricated by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) type 3D printers determines the mechanical performance of the printed structures. This study experimentally evaluated the mechanical performance of Onyx composite specimens fabricated with a rectangular infill structure under the hot-pressing condition to improve the mechanical properties by reducing the porosity of the infill pattern of the printed structure, and evaluated the best mechanical performance. The hot-pressing conditions (145℃, 4 MPa, 12 min) that induce the most appropriate mechanical properties were found. As a result of microscopic observation, it was confirmed that the infill porosity of the composite specimens subjected to post hot-pressing treatment was effectively reduced. In order to confirm the mechanical performance of the post-treated specimen, a tensile test and a three-point bending test were performed with a control specimen without post-treatment and a specimen printed with the same density and dimensions after post-treatment to evaluate the mechanical properties. As a result of comparison, it was confirmed that the mechanical properties were effectively improved when the post-treatment of hot-pressing was performed.

Since the four-wheel drive transmits the driving force to all four wheels, the traction with the road surface increases, thereby increasing the driving force. However, it has the disadvantage of lowering fuel efficiency. Therefore, four-wheel drive is commonly used as a method of converting to optional four-wheel drive when necessary while driving in two-wheel drive. This selective four-wheel drive converts the driving force by mechanically changing the electric signal sent by the driver in the transfer case. In this study, in order to mechanically change the electrical signal, a reducer is applied to the motor to increase the torque to perform the function. Therefore, in this study, a reduction mechanism applicable to the motor inside the transfer case applied to convert the drive is derived, and the reduction ratio applying the planetary gear type is optimized accordingly. And based on the derived reduction ratio, two sets of planetary gears using a ring gear in common were applied to develop a planetary gear tooth type in which the input shaft and output shaft are decelerated in the same phase. Optimization design was carried out.

유역 내 수자원 계획을 효율적으로 수립하기 위해서는 장기간에 걸친 수문 모델링 뿐만 아니라 미래 기후 시나리오에 따른 수문학적 기후변화 영향 분석도 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 관측 값에 기반한 고품질 및 고해상도 격자형 기상자료 생산이 필수적이다. 하지만, 우리나라는 종관기상관측시스템(ASOS)과 방재기상관측시스템(AWS)으로 이루어진 고밀도 관측 네트워크가 2000년 이후부터 이용 가능했기에 장기간 격자형 기상자료가 부족하다. 이를 보완하고자 본 연구는 가정적인 상황에 기반하여 만약 2000년 이전에도 현재와 동일한 고밀도 관측 네트워크가 존재했다면 산출 가능했을 장기간 일 단위 고해상도 격자형 기상자료를 생산하는 것을 목표로 한다. 구체적으로, 2000년을 기준으로 최근과 과거 기간의 격자형 기상자료를 딥러닝 알고리즘으로 모델링하여 과거 기간을 대상으로 기상자료(일 단위 기온, 강수량)의 공간적 변동성 및 특성을 재구성한다. 격자형 기상자료의 생산을 위해 우리나라의 고도에 기반하여 기상 인자들의 영향을 정량화 하는 보간법인 K-PRISM을 적용하여 고밀도 및 저밀도 관측 네트워크로 두 가지 격자형 기상자료를 생산한다. 생산한 격자형 기상자료 중 저밀도 관측 네트워크의 자료를 입력 자료로, 고밀도 관측 네트워크의 자료를 출력 자료로 선정하여 각 격자점에 대해 Long-Short Term Memory(LSTM) 알고리즘을 개발한다. 이 때, 멀티 그래픽 처리장치(GPU)에 기반한 병렬 처리를 통해 비용 효율적인 계산이 가능하도록 한다. 최종적으로 1973년부터 1999년까지의 저밀도 관측 네트워크의 격자형 기상자료를 입력 자료로 하여 해당 기간에 대한 고밀도 관측 네트워크의 격자형 기상자료를 생산한다. 개발된 대부분의 예측 모델 결과가 0.9 이상의 NSE 값을 나타낸다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발된 모델은 고품질의 장기간 기상자료를 효율적으로 정확도 높게 산출하며, 이는 향후 장기간 기후 추세 및 변동 분석에 중요 자료로 활용 가능하다.

As most systems get more complicated, system analysis using simulation has been taken notice of. One of the core parts of simulation analysis is validation of a simulation model, and we can identify how well the simulation model represents the real system with this validation process. The difference between input data of two systems has an effect on the comparison between a simulation model and a real system at validation stage, and the result with such difference is not enough to ensure high credibility of the model. Accordingly, in this paper, we construct a model based on Trace-driven simulation which uses identical input data with the real system. On the other hand, to validate a model by each class, not by an unique statistic, we validate the model using a metric transformed from F-measure which estimates performance of a classifier in data mining field. Finally, this procedure enables precise validation process of a model, and it helps modification by offering feedback at the validation phase.

A number of studies related to underwater robots are being conducted to utilize marine resources. However, unlike ordinary drones, underwater robots have a problem that it is not easy to locate because the medium is water, not air. The monitoring and positioning program of underwater robots, an existing study for identifying underwater locations, has difficulty in locating and monitoring in small spaces because it aims to be utilized in large spaces. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a three-dimensional positioning program for continuous monitoring and command delivery in small spaces. The proposed program consists of a multi-dimensional positioning monitoring function and a ability to control the path of travel through a three-dimensional screen so that the depth of the underwater robot can be identified. Through the performance evaluation, a robot underwater could be monitored and verified from various angles with a 3D screen, and an error within the assumed range was verified as the difference between the set path and the actual position is within 6.44 m on average.

In this paper, we design a navigation filter for an underwater glider. Underwater gliders are low-cost, reusable, and can be used for a long time. Two types of filters are designed considering characteristics such as small size, low cost, and low power. The navigation filter estimates the reference velocity of the underwater glider's body frame based on the minimum sensor output. The sensor configuration of the first filter consists of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, and a depth sensor. the second filter include extra a gyroscope in the same configuration. The estimated velocity is fused with the attitude, converted into the velocity of the navigation frame and finally the position is estimated. To analyze the performance of the proposed filter, analysis was performed using Monte Carlo numerical analysis method, and the results were analyzed with standard deviation (1σ). Standard deviations of each filter's position error are 334.34m, 125.91m.

A variety of search engines are currently in use. The search engine supports the retrieval of data required by users through three stages: crawling, index generation, and output of search results based on meta-tag information. However, a large number of documents obtained by searching for keywords are often unrelated or scarce. Because of these problems, it takes time and effort to grasp the content from the search results and classify the accuracy. The index of search engines is updated periodically, but the criteria for weighted values and update periods are different from one search engine to another. Therefore, this paper uses the LSTM model, which extracts the relationship between keywords entered by the user and documents instead of the existing search engine, and improves the relationship between keywords and documents by entering keywords that the user wants to find.

To improve the carbon recovery yield of chemical pretreatment in soil and sediment for $^{14}C$ age dating using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry), we have developed ultrasonic method in chemical pretreatment to replace with stirring method which has been generally used in each step of humic acid extraction for soil and sediment samples. Extraction conditions such as ultrasonic power, temperature and reaction time have been optimized. Six times higher carbon recovery yield could be obtained from low carbon content samples using ultrasonic method. We also compared the dating results by AMS obtained using ultrasonic method with the ages of samples treated by the stirring method. It was found that this new method could be applied to the pretreatment process of low carbon content samples for AMS age dating without effects on the dated ages, and with highly improved carbon recovery yields.
