In this paper, a blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions is introduced and its superior robustness against impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels is proved. The conventional CMA based on MSE has shown to be incapable of coping with impulsive noise, and correntropy blind algorithm has also revealed to yield not satisfying performance for the mission. On the other hand, the blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions has been proved to solve effectively the problem of impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels through theoretical and simulation analysis.

In this paper we propose a method for performance enhancement of speech recognizer under noisy conditions. The parallel combination model which is presented at the PMC method using multiple Gaussian-distributed mixtures have been adapted to the variation of each mixture. The CDHMM(continuous observation density HMM) which has multiple Gaussian distributed mixtures are combined by the proposed PMC method. Also, the EM(expectation maximization) algorithm is used for adapting the model mean parameter in order to reduce the variation of the mixture density. The result of simulation, the proposed PMC adaptation method show better performance than the conventional PMC method.

본 논문에서는 자동화 사격장 Pop-Up시스템의 안정성 및 성능 향상을 위해 예측제어기를 설계하여 시간지연에 따른 문제를 보상하였다. 확률 모델에 기반한 예측제어기는 지연된 이전의 값들로부터 선형예측 기법과 확률함수를 이용하여 실제의 값을 추정하며, 이를 제어기에 적용하여 시간지연에 따른 문제점을 최소화하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검정하기 위해 사격용 Pop-Up시스템에 본 알고리즘을 실현하였으며, 상이한 시간지연과 이득 변화에 따른 제어기의 성능을 관측하였다. 실험결과 제안된 예측제어기는 시간지연에 대해 PID 제어기보다 빠른 수렴 특성을 보이며, 제어기의 안정범위 내에서 허용할 수 있는 최대 시간지연 값도 증가시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 사격용 타겟의 Pop & Up동작이 제어시간 이내에 원활하게 작동되어 연속 사격의 실시간 제어를 효율적으로 수행하였다.

금융가격별 지표의 변동성 증가에 대처하려는 보수적 투자가들이 이용할 수 있는 매력적 방안의 하나가 보험부 투자기법이다. 그러나 이 투자유형은 설계에 상당한 신축성을 보이며 이는 동시에 투자성과 구조의 신축성으로 반영된다. 주요한 설계차원의 하나가 위험투자의 손실발생시 보상차원이다. 여기에 일반적 보험개념을 적용할 때 투자가가 직면하는 선택문제의 하나는 부분보험계약형 투자설계시 공제부보험형 전략과 공동보험형 전략간의 선택이다. 일반적 보험 이론에서는 전자가 후자에 대해 우월한 유형이라는 것이 밝혀져 있다. 본 연구는 이를 보험부투자에 응용할 때도 양 전략간에 어떠한 우월관계가 존재하는 지 알아보려 시도했다. 이를 위해 효율성 평가기준의 하나인 간편한 확률적 지배기준을 적용하였으며 분석결과는 생산적이었다. 두 전략 각각의 기대수익률의 확률분포를 대상으로 기대수익률이 상대적으로 공제부보험형 전략에서 공동보험형 전략에서보다 상대적으로 높거나 최소한 같은 경우에 전자가 후자를 지배하며 그 반대조건인 경우에는 양 전략간에 우열관계가 나타나지 않는다는 결과를 얻었다.

본 연구는 우리나라가 1996년 외환자유화와 자본자유화로 특징지워지는 국가들의 국제조직인 OECD에 가입한 이후 국내주식시장에서 환위험과 세계시장위험에 조건부로 가격보상이 이루어지고 있는가를 가격결정모형의 가장 일반적 형태인 확률적 할인요소를 이용하여 검정하였다. 무조건부 가격결정모형을 이용하여 국내주식시장에서 환위험프리미엄과 세계시장위험 프리미엄의 존재를 검정하고자 하는 연구들의 결론들이 일치되지 않고 있는 상황에서 조건부 가격결정모형을 이용한 검정노력은 자연스러운 접근순서로 볼 수 있다. 무조건부 가격결정모형에서 위험프리미엄이 존재하지 않는 것으로 검정되는 경우에도 조건부 프리미엄은 존재할 수 있다. 확률적 할인요소는 국내시장위험, 환위험, 세계시장위험 등 세 가지 위험요인이 포함되도록 정의하였으며, 조건부 정보를 구성하는 도구변수는 기존의 선행연구를 참조하여 6개를 선정하였다. 여기에는 상수, 전기의 국내시장수익률, 현재기의 무위험이자율, 전기의 세계시장수익률, 전기의 부도위험스프레드, 전기의 유로달러이자율이 포함된다. 월별 시계열 자료를 이용하여 가설을 검정한 결과 환위험 프리미엄과 세계시장프리미엄이 모두 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 외환위기 기간이었던 1997년을 제외하더라도 차이가 없었다. 따라서 기업의 재무결정에서 환위험헤징활동 등이 기업가치창조와 무관하지 않음을 의미하고 있다. 국내시장위험과 세계시장위험이 모두 프리미엄을 요구하고 있음은 우리 국내시장이 세계시장과 완전 통합된 상태는 아님을 보여준다고도 해석될 수 있다.

For high-speed data communication in band-limited channels, main of the bit error are fading and ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference). The common way of dealing with ISI is using equalization in the receiver. In this thesis, channel adaptive equalizer which uses Fuzzy Stochastic Gradient(FSG) and Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA) is nonlinear equalizer, or Blind equalizer, that works directly on the signals with no training sequences required. This equalizer employs Takagi-Sugeno's fuzzy model that uses the FSG algorithm, to automatically regulate the step size of the descent gradient vector, combining fast convergence rate and low mean square error(MSE), and the CMA which is a special case of Godard's algorithm, to having multiple dispersion constants($R_p$).

Probabilistic distribution functions based data generation method is very effective. Probabilistic distribution functions are defined under the assumption that daily routine contexts are mainly depended on a time-based schedule. However, daily life contexts are frequently determined by previous contexts because contexts have consistency and/or sequential flows. In order to refect previous contexts effect, a situation propagation network is proposed in this paper. As proposed situation propagation network make parameters of related probabilistic distribution functions update, generated contexts can be more realistic and natural. Through the simulation study, proposed context-data generation model generated general outworker's data about 11 daily contexts at home. Generated data are evaluated with respect to reduction of ambiguity and confliction using newly defined indexes of ambiguity and confliction of sequential contexts. In conclusion, in case of combining situation propagation network with probabilistic distribution functions, ambiguity and confliction of data can be reduced 6.45% and 4.60% respectively.

In this paper we propose an effective feature compensation scheme based on the speech model in order to achieve robust speech recognition. The proposed feature compensation method is based on parallel combined mixture model (PCMM). The previous PCMM works require a highly sophisticated procedure for estimation of the combined mixture model in order to reflect the time-varying noisy conditions at every utterance. The proposed schemes can cope with the time-varying background noise by employing the interpolation method of the multiple mixture models. We apply the‘data-driven’method to PCMM tot move reliable model combination and introduce a frame-synched version for estimation of environments posteriori. In order to reduce the computational complexity due to multiple models, we propose a technique for mixture sharing. The statistically similar Gaussian components are selected and the smoothed versions are generated for sharing. The performance is examined over Aurora 2.0 and speech corpus recorded while car-driving. The experimental results indicate that the proposed schemes are effective in realizing robust speech recognition and reducing the computational complexities under both simulated environments and real-life conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to study effects of participation motivations, relationships, and compensation on a satisfaction in activity of volunteer firefighter. For this purpose, we surveyed 106 volunteer firefighter worked in Sejong city. The survey data was analyzed the reliability in questionnaire design by SPSS 20.0 win program. Also, the interrelationship of each factors were confirmed by analysis of frequency, percentage and regression analysis. Furthermore, the regression analysis was performed in order to investigate effects of motivations, interpersonal relationships, and compensation on a satisfaction in activity of volunteer firefighter. A factor of motivations, interpersonal relationships, and compensation was found to be a positive influence on a satisfaction in activity of volunteer firefighter under significance probability of < 0.05. The overall satisfaction was influenced in order of motivations, compensation, interpersonal relationships. This paper is expected to serve as a basis for the efficient operation of the Korean Volunteer Fire Department.

A study about collision resolution is needed because huge file, video and multimedia information are transmitted to wireless LAN. CSMA/CR protocol guarantees fairness, but doesn't consider QoS. To practicalize CSMA/CR protocol in saturation fully-connected single hop network environments, this paper proposes method of collision compensation. previous CSMA/CR protocol chooses CR Slot only considering fairness, but this paper chooses front CR Slot for compensation of collision to station experiencing collisions. The station transmits jam signal and has channel priority of transmission. So transmitting efficiency and successful transmission probability rise. This proposed simple method can offer benefit to station experiencing collisions without additional hardware cost.
