Regardless of the distribution of the adaptation data in the testing environment, model-based adaptation methods that have so far been reported in various literature incorporates the adaptation data undiscriminatingly in reducing the mismatch between the training and testing environments. When the amount of data is small and the parameter tying is extensive, adaptation based on outlier data can be detrimental to the performance of the recognizer. The distribution of the adaptation data plays a critical role on the adaptation performance. In order to maximally improve the recognition rate in the testing environment using only a small number of adaptation data, supervised weighted training is applied to the structural maximum a posterior (SMAP) algorithm. We evaluate the performance of the proposed weighted SMAP (WSMAP) and SMAP on TIDIGITS corpus. The proposed WSMAP has been found to perform better for a small amount of data. The general idea of incorporating the distribution of the adaptation data is applicable to other adaptation algorithms.

Although the web is becoming a widely accepted medium, it provides relatively poor performance and low availability. A cluster consists of a collection of interconnected stand-alone computers working together and provides a high-availability solution in application area such as web services or information systems. In this paper, we propose a load balancer architecture under the web server cluster that provides high-availability, high performance and scalability. In addtion, we propose an efficient load balancing algorithm that considers access rate and size of documents. Specially, our algorithm does not require the nodes running under similar configurations and the same operating system. Also, server cache can be utilized more efficiently.

최근 지구온난화로 인해 전 세계적으로 기상이변이 발생하여 강우량과 집중호우 발생빈도가 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 동북아시아 지역은 인구밀도가 높아 강우량 및 집중호우 발생빈도 증가에 따른 도시홍수 발생확률이 높으며 홍수피해가 가중될 수 있다. 또한 도심지에 위치한 하천의 외수위 상승 및 배수시설 설계빈도 이상의 강우의 발생빈도가 증가하여, 기존 홍수방어대책으로는 제어하기 어려운 실정이다. "수자원장기종합계획(2011~2020), 2011, 국토해양부"에 따르면 기상청의 한반도 장기 미래 전망을 21세기말(2071년~2100년)에 대해 한국 평년 기온은 $4^{\circ}C$정도 상승하고, 강우량도 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 따라서 도심지에 위치한 하천의 외수위 상승 및 배수실 설계빈도 이상의 강우가 빈번히 발생하여 기존 홍수방어대책으로는 제어하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 연구 대상지역인 서울, 북경, 도쿄 지역의 과거 도시홍수 사례의 비교분석을 통하여 집중호우 빈발, 기존 방재시설물의 기후변화 대응능력 부족, 저지대지역 지형적 영향, 무분별한 도시개발로 인한 도시지역 불투수면적의 증가, 고령화와 재해취약계층 등 여러 가지 도시홍수 재해 영향인자들을 제시하였다. 앞으로 도시홍수 발생의 근본 원인 파악 및 홍수관리 효과를 최대화 시킬 수 있는 대책 설립에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 동북아시아 지역 도시홍수로 인한 인명 재산 피해를 최소화하기 위해 기존 한국, 중국, 일본 삼국의 주요 도시별 홍수에 대한 구조적 비구조적 방어대책을 종합하고 비교분석을 실시하였다. 향후, 국내외 도시홍수 저감대책 수립을 위한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Variable renewable energy (VRE) such as solar and wind power is the main sources of achieving carbon net zero, but it undermines the stability of power supply due to high variability and uncertainty. Energy storage system (ESS) can not only reduce the curtailment of VRE by load shifting but also contribute to stable power system operation by providing ancillary services. This study analyzes how the allocation of ESS resources between load shifting and ancillary service can contribute to maximizing the efficiency of power supply in a situation where the problems caused by VRE are becoming more and more serious. A stochastic power system optimization model that can realistically simulate the variability and uncertainty of VRE was applied. The analysis time point was set to 2023 and 2036, and the optimal resource allocation strategy and benefits of ESS by varying VRE penetration levels were analyzed. The analysis results can be largely summarized into the following three. First, ESS provides excellent functions for both load shifting and ancillary service, and it was confirmed that the higher the reserve price, the more limited the load shifting and focused on providing reserve. Second, the curtailment of VRE can be a effective substitute for the required reserve, and the higher the reserve price level, the higher the curtailment of VRE and the lower the required amount of reserve. Third, if a reasonable reserve offer price reflecting the opportunity cost is applied, ESS can secure economic feasibility in the near future, and the higher the proportion of VRE, the greater the economic feasibility of ESS. This study suggests that cost-effective low-carbon transition in the power system is possible when the price signal is correctly designed so that power supply resources can be efficiently utilized.
