We discuss a modified numerical model based on the Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) method, i.e., the MCRT matrix method, for the analysis of atmospheric scattering effects in three-dimensional flash LIDAR systems. Based on the MCRT method, the radiative transfer function for a LIDAR signal is constructed in a form of a matrix, which corresponds to the characteristic response. Exploiting the superposition and convolution of the characteristic response matrices under the paraxial approximation, an extended computer simulation model of an overall flash LIDAR system is developed. The MCRT matrix method substantially reduces the number of tracking signals, which may grow excessively in the case of conventional Monte Carlo methods. Consequently, it can readily yield fast acquisition of the signal response under various scattering conditions and LIDAR-system configurations. Using the computational model based on the MCRT matrix method, we carry out numerical simulations of a three-dimensional flash LIDAR system operating under different atmospheric conditions, varying the scattering coefficient in terms of visible distance. We numerically analyze various phenomena caused by scattering effects in this system, such as degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio, glitches, and spatiotemporal spread and time delay of the LIDAR signals. The MCRT matrix method is expected to be very effective in analyzing a variety of LIDAR systems, including flash LIDAR systems for autonomous driving.

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) on board the Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS), the first geostationary ocean color sensor, requires accurate atmospheric correction since its eight bands are also affected by atmospheric constituents such as gases, molecules and atmospheric aerosols. Unlike gases and molecules in the atmosphere, aerosols can interact with sunlight by complex scattering and absorption properties. For the purpose of qualified ocean remote sensing, understanding of aerosol-radiation interactions is needed. In this study, we show micro-physical and optical properties of aerosols using the Optical Property of Aerosol and Cloud (OPAC) aerosol models. Aerosol optical properties, then, were used to analysis the relationship between theoretical satellite measured radiation from radiative transfer calculations and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) under various environments (aerosol type and loadings). It is found that the choice of aerosol type makes little different in AOT retrieval for AOT<0.2. Otherwise AOT differences between true and retrieved increase as AOT increases. Furthermore, the differences between the AOT and angstrom exponent from standard algorithms and this study, and the comparison with ground based sunphotometer observations are investigated. Over the northeast Asian region, these comparisons suggest that spatially averaged mean AOT retrieved from this study is much better than from standard ocean color algorithm. Finally, these results will be useful for aerosol retrieval or atmospheric correction of COMS/GOCI data processing.

교란에 대한 고체 추진제의 연소율의 반등에 대한 이해는 고성능 추진제를 설계하는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그 동안의 연구는 고체 추진제의 표면에서 발생하는 교란이 매우 작은 크기로 발생한다는 선형적인 가정을 사용하여 이론적인 응답 함수를 구하였다. 특히 실험실에서 행해지는 교란에 대한 추진제의 응답 함수를 구하기 위하여 이용한 비집촉식 교란 방법을 사용하였다. 이 경우 추진제 표면으로 전달되는 복사열 전달의 크기는 레이저에 의한 복사 일전달과 기체 영의 화염에 의한 열전달을 동시에 고려하여야 한다. 그러나 언급하였던 것처럼 대부분의 이론적 연구는 추진제 표면의 온도 구매가 단열인 것으로 가정하여 진행하였다. 이러한 가정을 기체 영역으로부터 추진제로 전달되는 열전달 량이 작은 점소화초기 등에서 타당한 가정이나, 기체 영역에서 연소가 활발하게 진행되는 경우에는 비합리적인 가정이다. 본 연구에서는. 추진제의 응축 영역에서 분포 화학 반응이 발생하여, 기체 영역에서 화학반응에 의한 연소가 진행되는 경우, 복사 열전달의 교란에 대한 추진제의 응답함수를 수치적으로 계산하였다. 이때 기체 영역에서 발생하는 연소 반응은 De Luca 등에 의하여 제안된 실험적 모델인 $\alpha$ $\beta$ ${\gamma}$ 화염 모델을 사용하였으며, 추진제 표면에서의 열전달 균형에 의한 경계 조건을 사용하였다. 그러나 외부로부터 입사되는 복사광 레이저와 기체 영역의 상호 간섭은 고려하지 않았다. 수치 계산에 의한 응답 함수의 특징은 단열 조건이 사용된 이론적 응답 함수에 비하여 낮은 값을 나타내었으며, 최대치를 보이는 주파수 영역도 이론 함수에 비하여 다른 값을 보여주고 있다.연구 분석 결과 기술적 문제점으로는 배기 가스온도가 낮은데 따른 출구 부분의 Bearing, Sealing이 문제가 될 수 있다고 판단되며 배기 가스 자체에 대기 공기중에 함유되어 있던 습기가 얼어붙는(Icing화) 문제가 발생하기 때문에 배기가스의 Icing을 방지하기 위하여 압축기 끝단에서 공기를 추출하여 배기부분에 송출할 필요성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 출구가스의 기체 유동속도가 매우 빠르므로 (100-l10m.sec) 이를 완화하기 위한 디퓨저의 설계가 요구된다고 판단된다. 또 연소기 후방에 물을 주입하는 경우 열교환기 및 기타 부분품에 발생할 수 있는 부식 및 열교환 효율 저하도 간과할 수 없는 문제로 파악되었다. 이러한 기술적 문제가 적절히 해결되는 경우 비활성 가스 제너레이터는 민수용으로는 대형 빌딩, 산림, 유조선 등의 화재에 매우 적절히 사용되어 질 수 있을 뿐 아니라 군사적으로도 군사작전 중 및 공군 기지의 화재 그리고 지하벙커에 설치되어 있는 고급 첨단 군사 장비 등의 화재 뿐 아니라 대간첩작전 등에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.가 작으며, 본 연소관에 충전된 RDX/AP계 추진제의 경우 추진제의 습기투과에 의한 추진제 물성 변화는 미미한 것으로 나타났다.의 향상으로, 음성개선에 효과적이라고 사료되었으며, 이 방법이 편측 성대마비 환자의 효과적인 음성개선의 치료방법의 하나로 응용될 수 있으리라 생각된다..7%), 혈액투석, 식도부분절제술 및 위루술·위회장문합술을 시행한 경우가 각 1례(2.9%)씩이었다. 13) 심각한 합병증은 9례(26.5%)에서 보였는데 그중 식도협착증이 6례(17.6%), 급성신부전증 1례(2.9%), 종격동기흉과 폐염이 병발한 경우와 폐염이 각 1례(2.9%)였다. 14

This study aimed to identify the optimal street tree planting method to improve the summer thermal environment in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The effects of road direction and street tree planting patterns on urban thermal environments using ENVI-met simulations were analyzed. The 68 scenarios were analyzed based on four road directions and 17 planting patterns. The results showed that tree planting had a reducing air temperature, mean radiant temperature, human thermal sensation (PET and UTCI). The most effective planting pattern among all scenarios was low tree height (6m), wide crown width (9m), high leaf area index (3.0), and narrow planting interval (8m). The largest improvement in the thermal environment was the northern sidewalk of the east-west road. Since this study used computer simulations, the difference from real urban spaces should be considered, and further research is needed through field measurement and consideration of more variables.

Ultrasonic backscattering profiles of the Zr plates(with a thickness of 1.32mm) with/without Be-Zr alloy layer(with a thickness of $100{\mu}m$) were measured at various incidence positions to evaluate the characteristics of Be diffusion layer. Four principal subprofiles were observed in the backward ultrasound radiated from leaky Lamb waves. The angles and the intensities of the subprofile peaks decreased by the stiffening effect of Be layer. Generation and change of the subprofiles were explained by the acoustical property, collective group velocity and leaky factor difference of the plates under consideration. Backward radiation subprofiles turned out to be an useful method for evaluating thin diffusion layers on plates.

The characteristics of flame propagation in inert particle-laden $H_2$/Air premixed gas are numerically investigated on this study. The 2nd order TVD scheme is applied to numerical analysis of governing equations and multi-step chemical reaction model and detailed transport properties are sued to solve chemical reaction terms. Radiation heat transfer is computed by applying the finite volume method to a radiative transfer equation. The burning velocities against the mole fractions of hydrogen agree well with results performed by different workers. The inert particles play significant roles in the flame propagation on account of momentum and heat transfer between gas and particles. Gas temperature, pressure and flame propagation speed are decreased as the loading ratio of particle is increased. Also the products behind flame zone contain lots of water vapor whose absorption coefficient is much larger than that of unburned gas. Thus, the radiation effect of gas and particles must be considered simultaneously for the flame propagation in a mixture of $H_2$/Air and inert particles. As a result, it is founded that because the water vapor emits much radiation and this emitted radiation is released at boundaries as radiant heat loss as well as reabsorbed by gas and particles, flame propagation speed and flame structure are altered with radiation effect.

The crossed cube has received great attention because it has equal or superior properties compared to the hypercube that is widely known as a versatile parallel processing system. It has been known that disjoint two copies of a mesh of size $4{\times}2^m$ or disjoint four copies of a mesh of size $8{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1 [Dong, Yang, Zhao, and Tang, 2008]. However, it is not known that disjoint multiple copies of a mesh with more than eight rows and columns can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1. In this paper, we show that disjoint $2^{n-1}$ copies of a mesh of size $2^n{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1 where $n{\geq}1$ and $m{\geq}3$. Our result is optimal in terms of dilation and expansion that are important measures of graph embedding. In addition, our result is practically usable in allocating multiple jobs of mesh structure on a parallel computer of crossed cube structure.

In this paper, we propose a novel feeding method that uses a windshield ground in a vehicle. The feeding method enables for various antennas to integrate easily in a vehicle windshield. To connect a coaxial feeding cable directly to the windshield ground, we inserted a coaxial-to-ground adapter between the cable and the ground, and reflection coefficients using the proposed feeding method were compared to that using a conventional feeding method. The size and position of the windshield ground were optimized in order to achieve a high radiation gain in the azimuth direction. Then the triangular WiBro patch antenna, incorporating the proposed feeding method, was designed and installed on a rear windshield of a commercial sedan. The antenna using the proposed feeding method shows a similar reflection coefficient, and it shows 2 dB increased average azimuth radiation gain compared to that using a conventional sash ground method. These results demonstrate that the proposed feeding method can be applicable for integrating multiple antennas in a rear windshield.

The main motivation for this study was to establish a CFD-based procedure for the analysis of heating characteristics, particularly in industrial furnaces. As certain open-source software packages have gained popularity in dealing with complex industrial problems, the OpenFOAM framework was selected for further development of advanced physical models to meet industrial requirements. In this study, the newly developed comprehensive model was applied to simulate physical processes in the full-scale horizontal furnace of a continuous galvanizing line (CGL). The numerical results obtained indicate that the current approach predicts heating characteristics reasonably well. It was also found that radiative heat transfer plays a dominant role in heating the moving strip. To improve the predictability of our method, further work is required to model the turbulence-chemistry interaction realistically, as well as to impose a physically correct thermal wall boundary condition.

Digital image forgery detection is one of very important fields in the field of digital forensics. As the forged images change naturally through the advancement of technology, it has made it difficult to detect forged images. In this paper, we use passive forgery detection for copy paste forgery in digital images. In addition, it detects copy-paste forgery using the L₀ Norm-based LE operator, and compares the detection accuracy with the forgery detection using the existing L₂, L₁ Norm-based LE operator. In comparison of detection rates, the proposed lower triangular(Ayalneh and Choi) window was more robust to BAG mismatch detection than the conventional window filter. In addition, in the case of using the lower triangular window, the performance of image forgery detection was measured increasingly higher as the L₂, L₁ and L₀ Norm LE operator was performed.
