본 논문은 어휘독립(Vocabulary-Independent) 환경에서 별도의 훈련과정 없이 인식대상 어휘를 추가 및 변경할 수 있는 가변어휘(Variable Vocabulary) 음성인식에 관한 연구를 다룬다. 가변어휘 인식은 처음에 대용량 음성 데이터베이스(DB)로 음소모델을 훈련하고 인식대상 어휘가 결정되면 발음사전에 의거하여 음소모델을 연결함으로써 별도의 훈련과정 없이 인식대상 어휘를 변경 및 추가할 수 있다. 문맥 종속형(Context-Dependent) 음소 모델인 triphone을 사용하여 인식실험을 하였고, 인식성능의 비교를 위해 어휘종속 모델을 별도로 구성하여 인식실험을 하였다. Unseen triphone 문제와 훈련 DB의 부족으로 인한 모델 파라메터의 신뢰성 저하를 방지하기 위해 state-tying 방법 중 음성학적 지식에 기반을 둔 tree-based clustering(TBC) 기법[1]을 도입하였다. Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient(MFCC)와 대수에너지에 기반을 둔 3 가지 음성특징 벡터를 사용하여 인식 실험을 병행하였고, 연속 확률분포를 가지는 Hidden Markov Model(HMM) 기반의 고립단어 인식시스템을 구현하였다. 인식 실험에는 22 개 부서명 DB[3]를 사용하였다. 실험결과 어휘독립 환경에서 최고 98.4%의 인식률이 얻어졌으며, 어휘종속 환경에서의 인식률 99.7%에 근접한 성능을 보였다.

An animal fat is an attractive biodiesel energy source for its high stability against oxidation and low incomplete combustion ratio due to the high heating value and cetane value. However, it requires a refinery process because of the high content of saturated acid and impurity which increas the boiling point. In this study, the optimum biodiesel synthetic process of lard is suggested. Indeed, we demonstrate new biodiesel production processes to alter conventional process of heating and mixing by applying ultrasonic energy. While the optimum reaction temperature and mole ratio of methanol and lard, when using conventional mixing and heating process, were $55^{\circ}C$ and 12, respectively, the reaction time were reduced to 30 minutes by applying ultrasonic irradiation power of 500 W. The new process applying ultrasonic irradiation yielded synthetic biodiesel properties as followings: 3.34 cP of the viscosity, 37.0 MJ/kg of the caloric value and below 0.25 mgKOH/g of the acidic value, which satisfy biodiesel quality criteria.

Recently, contra-rotating propellers (CRP) having higher efficiency draw much attention since the EEDI regulation of IMO has been enforced. In this paper a numerical method based on the vortex lattice potential theory with a wake model and an experimental procedure with a newly built measuring device, specifically focusing on CRPs, are introduced. And they are applied to a series of CRP known to be designed for the purpose of improving EEDI. The numerical and experimental results showed good agreement explaining the characteristics of the CRP properly. The proposed method is believed to be effectively used for various CRP related studies.

현재 기능성 의류 섬유시장에서도, 요구하는 주요 기능들의 퍼포먼스 수준을 보여주는 과학적 수치들과 함께 기능성 섬유제작 과정에서 얼마나 친환경적인 제조과정을 거쳤는가에 대한 정보들도 요구하고 있는 중이다. 섬유에 인간과 환경에 유해한 성분이 최대한 배제됐으며 생산 과정에서의 자연자원의 낭비가 이뤄지지 않았음을 증명해야한다. CPB 전처리 공정은 혼방직물과 같이 서로 다른 물성을 가지는 직물에 대한 저온 처리로 섬유 손상을 최소화하고, $CO_2$ 발생량 및 에너지 소비량을 감소시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다. CPB 전처리는 호발, 정련, 표백을 포함하는 공정으로 일욕으로 처리 시 패딩, 수세, 와인딩 공정을 단축시키기 때문에 약품 소비량 감소와 에너지 사용 절감 효과가 있어 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있는 Green Technology이다. 본 연구에서는 CPB용 전처리 조제(4~5종)을 일욕화 하여 가공업체 생산성 향상 및 원가절감, 환경유해성 감소를 목표로 하여 CPB 전처리의 최적 가공조건을 확립하는 것이 목표이다. 첨가 용제의 종류 및 첨가량을 변화시켜 각 조성비에 따른 sample을 제조하여 정련성, 호발성, 알칼리 안정성, Whiteness를 측정하여 전처리 성능을 분석하고, 과수안정성, 금속이온 봉쇄력을 비교하여 최적 조성비 및 중합조건을 확립하였다.

In this study, a Pd/TiO2 catalyst which oxidized H2 at room temperature without an additional energy source was prepared. And a specific surface area of TiO2 as a support was not proportional to H2 oxidation reaction performance of Pd/TiO2 catalyst. In addition La2O3 was added to Pd/TiO2 catalyst in order to evaluate the performance effect due to the change of catalysts physical properties. A Pd/La2O3-TiO2 was prepared by adding different amounts of La2O3 to TiO2 and CO chemisorption analysis was performed. Compared to the conversion rate (14% at 0.5% H2) of the Pd/TiO2(G) catalyst, the Pd/La2O3-TiO2 catalyst showed 74% which was improved by more than five times. It was found that the larger the metal dispersion of Pd as an active metal is, the more favorable to H2 oxidation reaction is. However, when the added La2O3 amount exceeded 10%, the catalyst performance decreased again. Finally, it was concluded that the physical properties of the Pd/La2O3-TiO2 catalyst have a dominant influence on the catalytic activity until 0.3~0.5% of injected H2 concentrations and the catalyst reaction rate was controlled by substance transfer from 1% or more concentrations of H2.

In Solar-powered wireless sensor networks(SP-WSN), the battery is periodically charged, so the best use of harvested energy is more important, rather than minimizing energy consumption. Meanwhile, as is well known, the reliability of communication between sensor nodes is very limited due to the resource-constraint of sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose an advanced FEC (forward error correction) scheme which can give SP-WSN more reliability for communication. Firstly, the proposed scheme uses energy modeling to calculate the amount of surplus energy which can be utilized for extra operations, and then determines the number of additional parity bits according to this amount of surplus energy. At the same time, link quality modeling calculates the optimal parity bits for error recovery in the current data communication environment. Finally, by considering these two parity sizes, it is possible to determine the optimal parity size that can maximize the data reliability without affecting the node black out. Performance verification was performed by comparing the amount of data collected at the sink and the number of outage nodes with other schemes.

본 논문은 기존의 XIP 기법에서 발생할 수 있는 메모리 접근 성능저하를 해결하기 위한 동적 XIP 기법을 제안하였다. 동적 XIP 기법은 상대적으로 성능저하가 적을 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 동적으로 선택하여 XIP 영역으로 설정하고, 성능저하가 크게 나타날 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 램 캐시에 캐싱하여 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문은 램 캐시를 관리하기 위해 MIN 캐시 알고리즘 및 메모리 접근 비용을 고려한 오프라인 캐시 알고리즘과, 페이지 접근에 대한 최신성(Recency) 및 슬라이딩 윈도우에 저장된 페이지 접근 기록에 기반하여 메모리 접근 비용을 예측하는 온라인 캐시 알고리즘, 온라인 캐시 알고리즘의 램 캐싱 판단의 정확성을 높이는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 온·오프라인 알고리즘의 성능비교를 위해 시뮬레이터를 통해 성능을 평가하였고, 유용성을 시험하기 위해 온라인 알고리즘을 리눅스를 기반으로 구현하여 성능을 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 동적 XIP는 실제 구현한 환경에서 실험한 결과, 작은 크기의 캐시를 사용하고도 수행시간에서는 최대 27%, 에너지 소모량에서는 최대 24%의 성능이 향상됨을 보였다.

Mobility of the sensor networks proposed a new way to the efficient design of sensor networks and improvement of network system performance. Mobility results in a number of functional changes in the MAC protocol and routing protocol. Especially, the mobility of the nodes may occur the increase of the overhead of transmission or disconnection of the link. Therefore, the study of the energy efficient transmission is very important in mobile sensor networks. This paper proposed adaptive transmission mechanism on the distance-based power control. The proposed mechanism was analyzed better than conventional method in the average energy consumption and network life by simulation results.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been investigated as an enabling technology for future wireless communications such as ad hoc, mesh and sensor networks. However, prior works on bit-loading lack consideration of the constraints on energy and computing facility in sensor networks. In this paper, we suggest an adaptive bit allocation algorithm for a frequency selective fading channel environment which exploits channel state information obtained through a feedback channel. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces computational complexity and satisfies the power budget. Also, its throughput is comparable to the optimum solution. Simulation results support the claim stated.

For the last decade, some 400 small and large oil spill accidents have occurred every year. Such accident blow a serious damage to the marine resource and ecosystem, which can't be estimated in terms of economic and environmental losses. The physical/chemical methods used currently may be effective at the initial stage of accidents, but they can't serve to remove the spilled oil completely. Moreover, the dispersant may lead to a secondary contamination detrimental to the lives inhabiting wet lands, beaches and tidal zone. Thus, a new decomposing technology Is required for the environmentally sensitive areas. Bioremediation is the active use of biological techniques to mitigate the consequences of a spill using biological processes and refers both of stimulation of pollutant biodegradation and/or to enhance ecosystem recovery Bioremediation is an economically attractive method for the clean-up of oil-contaminated area. Bioremediation has been demonstrated to be an effective oil spill countermeasure for use in cobble, sand beach, salt marsh, and mud flat environment.
