Purpose : A new inhomogeneity correction method based on two-point Dixon sequence is proposed to obtain water and fat images at 0.35T, low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Materials and Methods : Joint phase-magnitude density function (JPMF) is obtained from the in-phase and out-of-phase images by the two-point Dixon method. The range of the water signal is adjusted from the JPMF, and 3D inhomogeneity map is obtained from the phase of corresponding water volume. The 3D inhomogeneity map is used to correct the inhomogeneity field iteratively. Results : The proposed water-fat imaging method was successfully applied to various organs. The proposed 3D inhomogeneity correction algorithm provides good performances in overall multi-slice images. Conclusion : The proposed water-fat separation method using JPMF is robust to field inhomogeneity. Three dimensional inhomogeneity map and the iterative inhomogeneity correction algorithm improve water and fat imaging substantially.

In this paper, we derive the probability density function (PDF) of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for t he dual-hop MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) DCF (Decouple-and-Forward) system. We also provide the end-to-end bit error ratio (BER) with M-ary PSK constellations for four antenna combinations. These are (1,8,1), (8,1,8), (2,4,2), and (4,2,4). Each number in the parentheses is the number of the transmit antenna at the source, the transmit and receive antenna at the relay and the receive antenna at the destination, respectively. We show t hat the end-to-end BER expression with M-ary PSK constellations makes an exact match with numerical results. We also show that MIMO DCF relay system achieves spatial diversity.

This paper proposes an approach to detect abnormal data in automotive controller area network (CAN) using an unsupervised learning model, i.e. autoencoder and Gaussian kernel density estimation function. The proposed autoencoder model is trained with only message ID of CAN data frames. Afterwards, by employing the Gaussian kernel density estimation function, it effectively detects abnormal data based on the trained model characterized by the optimally determined number of frames and a loss threshold. It was verified and evaluated using four types of attack data, i.e. DoS attacks, gear spoofing attacks, RPM spoofing attacks, and fuzzy attacks. Compared with conventional unsupervised learning-based models, it has achieved over 99% detection performance across all evaluation metrics.

In this paper, we got soil-water characteristic curve(SWCC) of Nak-Dong River's sand respectively as relative density 40%, 60%, 80% and content of silt 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%. As a result, the more the sand densify in the same silt content and the more the sand has silt in the same relative density, the change of volume water content was decreased. we have known effect of silt contents for SWCC and verified existing empirical formula of SWCC. As experiment results of soil-water characteristic curves compared to the empirical solutions, the results of van Genuchten(1980) and Fredlund & Xing(1994) were well-matched showing S type curves with experiment results. Especially the empirical solution of Fredlund & Xing showed almost same results of the coefficient of correlation($R^2$) equal to 0.99.

공기통풍 건조시 공기흐름(airflow)에 대한 곡물저항(grain resistance)은 송풍시스템에서 fan의 선정시 매우 중요하다. 지금까지는 공기흐름에 대한 곡물저항은 주로 Shedd의 curve에 준하여 정해졌다. 그러나 실제의 경우 곡물수확 또는 건조시 기계적 원인에 의하여 미세립자(fine material)가 생성된다. 이에 본 연구에서 밀(red hard winter wheat)을 대상으로 송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량이 정압강하(static pressure drop)에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 이러한 변수가 포함된 수학적 모델을 개발하였다. 독립변수는 0.051로부터 $0.203m^3/m^2.sec$에 이르는 7단계의 각각 다른 송풍량과 3단계의 함수율 (11, 13, 15%w.b), 4단계의 미세립자량(0, 2, 4, 8%)이고, 종속변수는 정압강하이다. 정압강하와 test bed에서의 송풍량은 micromanometer를 사용하여 측정하였다. 결과는 독립변수(송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량)는 모두 정압강하에 significant하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 규정된 범위내에서 함수율이 증가함에 따라 정압강하는 최고 45% 까지 감소되었고, 반면 미세립자량이 증가함에 따라 정압강하는 최고 195%까지 증가되었다. 수집된 data로서 다음과 같은 regression equation이 개발되었다($P=AV+BV^2+C(MO)V+D(FM)V$). 본 연구의 결과는 공기송풍시스팀에서 송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량이 정압강하에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 에너지 절약적 송풍시스템을 설계하는 데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

수공구조물 설계 시, 설계홍수량 산정에는 실측 홍수량 자료를 활용한 홍수빈도해석이 필요하다. 그러나 홍수량 자료의 관측연한, 유역변화 등의 신뢰성 문제로 확률강우량을 활용한 빈도홍수량 간접추정방법이 표준화된 실정이다. 문제는 확률강우량 산정에 활용된 확률밀도함수와 그 매개변수에 따른 불확실성이 존재한다는 점이다. 특히 저빈도에서 고빈도로 갈수록 확률밀도함수의 불확실성은 크게 증가하여, 사실상 추정결과에 대한 물리적 의미를 부여하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 PMF를 물리적 상한선으로 설정하는 상한분포함수(Upper bounded distribution functions)를 적용하여, 실측 홍수량에 대한 홍수빈도해석 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 검정방법은 먼저, 임의 유역을 대상유역으로 선정하여 홍수빈도해석을 수행하고, 상한분포함수는 EV4, LN4, TDF를 적용한다. 최종적으로 빈도홍수량 간접추정방법과 비교 분석하여, 적용성을 검토하고자 한다. 본 연구결과는 빈도홍수량 간접추정방법에 대한 비교 검토방법에 대한 적절한 대안이 없다는 측면에서 의의를 찾을 수 있으며, 향후 홍수량 자료 신뢰성이 확보되는 시점에서 지역홍수빈도 분석으로 확장할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Water content of sub-layer in pavement systems has a large effect on pavement performance. Many researchers lately make use of time-domain reflectometry(TDR) probes to measure the soil water content of sub-layer from field monitoring. The laboratory calibration test of TDR probe should be performed with soil field, because TDR probe can cause an error by type, gradation, density, and temperature of soil. This study performed the laboratory calibration test of TDR probe(CS616) with subgrade and subbase material in long term pavement performance(LTPP) sections. And the calibration equations of TDR probe(CS616) were then proposed. It was confirmed from the study that the data of TDR probe monitored in field could be used to estimate the freezing, unfrozen water content, and matric suction of soil.

The simulation investigation on the availability with failure density function of major equipment for a sewage treatment plant has been carried out. This study focuses on the availability of the plant and criticality with equipment module induced by component layout and its failure function. The equipment classification of sewage treatment plant and its failure function are established. Also solution methodologies are introduced as Monte-Carlo simulation method and event algorithm for uncertainty problem. The availability in the case of serial connection of equipment with all exponential function is calculated as around 50.4%. In other case of parallel combination with back up equipment, the availability showed over 80.1%. The criticality that a ffects availability showed high value over 77% in the dehydration and concentration process of sludge.
