Purpose: We tried to establish the reproducibility of the measurement of maximal elastance (Emax) and to compare the degree of the reproducibility of two estimation methods: single pressure-volume loop method and parameter optimization method. Materials and methods: In 47 patients (42 males and 5 females, $53{\pm}10$ years old) with suspected coronary artery disease (election fraction; 22-68%), gated Tc-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT and arterial tonometry were acquired. In 11 patients among these 47 patients, gated SPECT and tonometry were performed twice consecutively with patients in situ. Emax and void volume (Vo) were estimated using single pressure-volume loop method of Lee and parameter optimization method based on linear approximation of Yoshizawa. Correlation between the consecutive measurements by each method and correlation between the two estimation methods were compared. Results: Reproducibility of Emax (r=0.96) and Vo (r=0.99) by single pressure-volume method was better than the reproducibility of Emax (r=0.89) and Vo (r=0.64) by parameter optimization method. Correlations of Emax and Vo were fair between the two methods. The correlation of Emax (r=0.77) was better than that of Vo (r=0.55). Conclusion: Reproducibility of Emax measurement by single pressure-volume loop method using gated myocardial SPECT and arterial tonometry was excellent. Reproducibility by parameter optimization method was also fair but was less than that achieved by single pressure-volume method.

The double-peak normal distribution function (DPDF) suggested by Cho et al.(2004) has the problems that the extremely high and low tidal elevations are frequently generated in the Monte-Carlo simulation processes because the upper and lower limits of the DPDF are unbounded in spite of the excellent goodness-offit results. In this study, the modified DPDF is suggested by introducing the upper and lower value parameters and re-scale parameters in order to remove these problems. These new parameters of the DPDF are optimally estimated by the non-linear optimization problem solver using the Levenberg-Marquardt scheme. This modified DPDF can remove completely the unrealistically generated tidal levations and give a slightly better fit than the existing DRDF. Based on the DPDF's characteristic power, the over- and under estimation problems of the design factors are also automatically intercepted, too.

This study examined the utility of the acoustic features of vowels as cues for the place of articulation of Korean nasal consonants. In the acoustic analysis, spectral and temporal parameters were measured at the 25%, 50%, and 75% time points in the vowels neighboring nasal consonants in samples extracted from a spontaneous Korean speech corpus. Using these measurements, linear discriminant analyses were performed and classification accuracies for the nasal place of articulation were estimated. The analyses were applied separately for vowels following and preceding a nasal consonant to compare the effects of progressive and regressive coarticulation in terms of place of articulation. The classification accuracies ranged between approximately 50% and 60%, implying that acoustic measurements of vowel intervals alone are not sufficient to predict or classify the place of articulation of adjacent nasal consonants. However, given that these results were obtained for measurements at the temporal midpoint of vowels, where they are expected to be the least influenced by coarticulation, the present results also suggest the potential of utilizing acoustic measurements of vowels to improve the recognition accuracy of nasal place. Moreover, the classification accuracy for nasal place was higher for vowels preceding the nasal sounds, suggesting the possibility of higher anticipatory coarticulation reflecting the nasal place.

Global warming may accelerate climate change and may increase disaster caused by strong winds. This research studied a method for a nonstationary frequency analysis considering the linear trend over time. The Bayesian method was used to estimate the posterior distribution of the parameters for the extreme value distribution of the annual maximum wind speed at Jeju Airport. The nonstationary frequency analysis was performed based on the Monte Carlo Markov Chain simulation and the Gibbs sampling. The estimated wind speeds by nonstationary frequency analysis was larger than those by stationary analysis. The conventional frequency analysis procedure assuming stationarity is likely to underestimate the future design wind speed in the region where statistically significant trend exists.

도시하천유역은 인위적인 하수계통으로 인해 강우-유출관계의 불확실성이 클 뿐만 아니라 홍수의 도달시간이 매우 짧고 강우-유출관계의 비선형성도 매우 크다. 현재의 수문해석절차에서는 유역의 확률강수량을 수문모형의 입력자료로 활용하여 확률홍수량을 추정하는 방법이 채택되고 있으며, 입력되는 확률강수량의 빈도와 추정되는 홍수량의 빈도가 동일하다는 가정에 근거하고 있다. 그러나 유역에 발생하는 강수량 및 유역의 수문학적 특성에 따라 동일한 강수라 하더라도 유역의 반응 측면에서 변동성이 매우 큰 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구에서는 도시하천유역에서 강우-유출관계의 다양한 불확실성요소를 고려하여 확률홍수량을 추정할 수 있는 홍수빈도곡선 개발절차를 수립하고자 한다. 도시하천유역에서 강우-유출 관계의 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 첫째, 강수 및 강우-유출모형 매개변수의 변동성을 파악한 후 이를 확률밀도함수를 통해 모의할 수 있는 절차를 수립하고 둘째, 강우-유출 모의를 통해 앙상블형태의 유출수문곡선을 도출한다. 최종적으로 도출된 유출수문곡선 앙상블을 토대로 홍수량의 성장곡선(growth curve)를 개발하여 모의기반의 홍수빈도해석을 수행하고, 기존 수문해석절차와의 비교 분석을 통하여 제안된 방법론의 장단점을 평가하고자 한다.

In this paper, we used the maximum likelihood method for 2-point aerodynamic model to determine the parameters of the ChangGong-91. Since the estimation from the flight test of real aircraft is the most reliable, we performed the flight test of ChangGong-91 to get the parameters such as velocity, height, 3 axis acceleration, 3 axis angular rate, pitch angle, angle of attack, temperature and so on. We recorded the flight test data in S-VHS tapes and stored them to personal computer using A/D(analog to digital) converter. Flight test was done in stall motion, and the acquired data was be processed with parameter identification method.

Growth curves including Logistic and Gompertz functions are widely used in forecasting the market demand. To estimated the parameters of those functions, we use the non-linear least square method. However, it is difficult to set up the starting points for each parameter. If a wrong starting point is selected, the result reveals the local optimum or does not converge to a certain value. The purpose of this paper is to resolve the problem of selecting a starting point. Especially, rescaling the market data using the national economic index make it possible to figure out the range of parameters and to utilize the grid search method. Applications to some real data are also included.

본 연구에서는 한반도 전지역의 격자화를 통해 다중유역에 대한 유출량 모의 능력 평가를 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기상청에서 제공하는 ASOS(종관기상관측) 자료를 IDW(Inverse Distance Weighting) 보간법으로 격자화하였고, GIS(Geographic Information System)를 활용하여 지형자료를 격자에 맞추어 구축하였다. 이렇게 구축한 자료를 사용하여 다중유역의 유출량을 Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC) 모형으로 모의하였다. VIC 모형은 토양, 식생 및 대기 사이의 물과 에너지의 물리적 교환을 모의하는 동시에 식생 다양성, 가변 침투가 있는 다중 토양층 및 비선형 기반 흐름을 고려하는 모형이다. 이러한 모형을 다중유역에 대해 전역 매개변수를 추정하였고 총 26개의 다중관측지점에서 일별 유출량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유출량은 NSE(Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency)를 통해 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 구축한 대규모 수문모형은 향후 우리나라의 다양한 수자원 관리(Water resources management)에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Dynamic traffic assignment(DTA) has been a topic of substantial research during the past decade. While DTA is gradually maturing, many aspects of DTA still need improvement, especially regarding its formulation and solution algerian Recently, with its promise for In(Intelligent Transportation System) and GIS(Geographic Information System) applications, DTA have received increasing attention. This potential also implies higher requirement for DTA modeling, especially regarding its solution efficiency for real-time implementation. But DTA have many mathematical difficulties in searching process due to the complexity of spatial and temporal variables. Although many solution algorithms have been studied, conventional methods cannot iud the solution in case that objective function or constraints is not convex. In this paper, the genetic algorithm to find the solution of DTA is applied and the Merchant-Nemhauser model is used as DTA model because it has a nonconvex constraint set. To handle the nonconvex constraint set the GENOCOP III system which is a kind of the genetic algorithm is used in this study. Results for the sample network have been compared with the results of conventional method.

The storage function model is one of the most commonly used models for flood forecasting and warning system in Korea. This paper studies the physical significance of the storage function model by comparing it with kinematic wave model. The results showed universal applicability of the storage function model to Korean basins. Through a comparison of the basic equations for the models, the storage function model parameters, K, P and $T_l$, are shown to be related with the kinematic wave model parameters, k and p. The analysis showed that P and p are identical and K and $T_l$ can be related to k, basin area, and coefficients of Hack's law. To apply the storage function model throughout the southern part of Korean peninsular, regional parameter relationships for K and $T_l$ were developed for watershed area using data from 17 watersheds and 101 flood events. These relationships combine the kinematic wave parameters with topographic information using Hack's Law.
