하나의 음소는 보통 음성환경에 따라 여러 변이음으로 실현된다. 음성합성기로 한국어의 문장을 자연스럽게 합성해 내려고 할 때나 음성인식기가 한국어의 문장을 정확하게 인식하도록 개발하고자 할 때 변이음에 관한 정보는 필수적이다. 따라서 이 논문의 목적은 음성공학에 필요한 변이음 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 음성공학에 필요한 한국어의 주오 변이음 규칙들을 간단히 논의하고 몇몇 중요한 변이음들의 음향적 특징을 논의한다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 확률적 화자군집 모델을 MLP(multi-layer perceptron)로 구현하는 방법과 원형 화자군집 모델이 갖는 문제를 해결할 수정 모델을 제시한다. 화자군집 모델은 화자등록 시간에 민감한 실용 환경에서 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 본 연구에서 사용한 인식단위는 여러 음소계열에서 지속적인 부분을 추출한 지속음이므로 화자등록과 증명 단계에서 특정한 어구에 한정되지 않는 어구독립 방식을 채택한다.

This study examined several characteristics such as the relationships between environmental attitudes and national park visitors' socio-economic characteristics, and between environmental attitudes and their travel motivations. Environmental attitude was measured using the modified New Environmental Paradigm(NEP) scale, where five response options existed(from strongly disagree to strongly agree). Data for this empirical analysis were obtained from 2,647 participants at six national parks-Sulaksan, Kayasan, Naeiangsan, Pookhansan, Taeanhaean, and Hanryohaesang. Results showed that most visitors gave a pro-NEP response ranging from neutral attitude to pro-environmentalism. Environmental attitudes correlated positively with education level, while, negatively with age. Environmental concern, also, generally correlated positively with 'rest' and 'health' motivators, while, negatively with 'socialization' and 'vacation' motivators. The findings of this study suggest that education is the most effective politic measure to lead pro-environmental concern for park visitors. And, given the nature of the relationship between environmental concern and visitors' motivation, park managers should be more careful handling with family and group visitors who have 'vacation' and 'socialization' motivators than 'rest' and 'health' motivators.

4000MW급 유연탄발전소는 기존 500MW급 4기의 발전설비 운영조건에서 지역공동체는 긍정적이었으나, 500MW급의 증설 호기가 늘어나면서 지역 공동체는 발전소 증설과 관련하여 기존 동쪽 부지 경계지역의 소음환경에 대하여 부정적인 문제를 제기하였다. 2000MW급 증설이 진행되어온 4000MW급 발전소의 다양한 소음원에 의한 소음파워 증대와 증가방출 과도소음 에 대하여 고저가 다양한 주변지역에 미치는 영향음 평가하고자 3차원 모델링기법을 적용한다. 기존호기를 비롯한 전체의 발전소 전면부 소음원응 비교 시험결과 증가방출 소음 파워가 기존 설계의 변경 제작되어 기존호기에 비해 20~30dBA 높아져 동시 방출사 주변지역에 과도하게 영향을 미치는 상태였으며 500MW급 4기를 추가 증설에 따라 일상소음원에 의한 소음 영향도 증설전 대비 2~3dBA 증가된 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 증설호기의 과도 소음원 제거 방안으로 대가 방출증가가 회수되도록 증설호기의 증가방출설비를 개선하였고, 증설에 의하여 증가된 소음 영향음 저감하고자 기존 경계지역에 미치는 소음원음 고려하여 방음벽음 설치한 결과 47 ~ 49dBA를 나타내고 인근 주거건물의 전면부 소음은 43dBA이었다.

As for the generally preferred sound sources used in the test, the sound of water and the birds chirping were highly valued. And they have found that preference of the subject is increased if background music which mixed well with the sound sources were provided together. On the other hand, the sound sources of low satisfaction were judged at be church bells, bell of Emile, and fulling cloth, which not mix well with interior landscaping. If the physical elements of interior landscaping were equally composed, it has found that the larger were a of water space is, the higher satisfaction more than other sound sources. Average satisfaction of background sound in interior landscaping classified according to the characteristics of space has found that satisfaction of the birds chirping and music in working space and satisfaction of water sound and music in commercial space were high. Women judged that satisfaction of the birds chirping and music in working space and satisfaction of water sound and music in commercial space whose values were the same with the average ones were high, while men judged that satisfaction of the song of birds and music in working and commercial space is high.

This paper describes an efficient algorithm to generate compact and complete prompts lists for connected spoken words speech corpus. In building a connected spoken digit recognizer, we have to acquire speech data in various contexts. However, in many speech databases the lists are made by using random generators. We provide an efficient algorithm that can generate compact and complete lists of digits in various contexts. This paper includes the proof of optimality and completeness of the algorithm.

Standard sound source currently used in heavy-weight floor impact sounds that cause many social problems has excessive low-frequency energy within a range from 63 Hz to 125 Hz, and is difficult to evaluate and measure. To solve these problems, studies are widely performed using a new impact source, the impact ball. In this study, the sound fields in a receiving room were compared and analyzed according to the current impact source, the bang machine, and the impact ball. And deviation of sound pressure level according to the impact source positions were compared. In case of impact ball, the sound pressure level was lower at 63 Hz and below and higher at 125 Hz and above. The same trend was observed at the low-frequency range on the horizontal and vertical planes, regardless of the type of the impact source, which showed the influence of the room mode. There was a problem with the variations in the sound pressure level according to the size or shape of the receiving room. And it also shows that change of source positions may effect the single number rating scheme.

DWDM 전송 시스템에서 전송 용량 증대를 위하여 bit rate를 고속화하고 채널 간격을 줄이기 위해서는 전송로로 사용되는 광케이블의 분산특성이 상반되는 값을 갖도록 요구된다. 즉, 분산으로 인한 신호 왜곡을 줄이기 위해서는 광케이블의 분산이 작아야 하고, 비선형 현상을 억제하기 위해서는 분산이 커야 한다. 이러한 두 가지 상반된 분산 penalty를 동시에 해결하기 위한 방안으로 양과 음의 분산 값이 이산적으로 분포된 광섬유 케이블을 최초로 설계 및 제작하였다. 이러한 분산 분포 케이블을 위해 일반 단일 모드 광섬유(SMF)와 대응되는 음분산 값을 갖는 새로운 광섬유(NDF)를 설계 및 제조한 후, SMF의 +17 ps/km/nm 및 NDF의 -15 ps/km/nm의 분산영역이 6km의 케이블 내에 분포되도록 케이블을 제작하였다. 새롭게 개발된 케이블의 분산 값을 국지적으로는 높은 값을 가지면서도 전체적으로는 1.0 ps/km/nm의 평균 분산 값으로 NZSDF 대비 30% 이하를 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안된 케이블은 SMF 케이블과 동일한 케이블 시공 운용 환경에서도 정합함을 확인하였다.

A person with defects and the lack of hearing, has very difficult problems to listen to the sound of conversation or environment, and these problems cause wrong directions in the linguistic sense and character. We designed and implemented an application to practice and correct pronunciation of a hearing-impaired person specially. This is made as a mobile app without the limitation of time and space, and this provides practices with the level of difficulty in learning of pronunciation, taking into consideration of remedial status in pronunciation. The hearing-impaired person can train the basic pronunciation and the word pronunciation. He or she can practice basic skills in pronunciation and check the record on the practice rate and the success rate. Also, the person can improve pronunciation by self-correction function using the front camera of a smart phone.

The noise in apartment buildings are major factor that determine the quality of indoor noise environment. Particularly, the noise from children's running footsteps and plumbing noise have caused the residents who live in decrepit apartment houses to uncomfortable environment. And as time go by, sound performance are getting worse according to the aging of the facilities. So this study deals with the plans to improve the sound performance of decrepit apartment house. To compare the noise reduction, we measured the heavy-weight impact sound level and plumbing noise level before and after changes the measurement conditions. As the results of measurements, the heavy-weight impact sound level were decreased when stiffness reinforcement were installed on slab. Especially the sound level were decreased 2.1-7.6dB in 50-80Hz of low frequency range. Instead of PVC pipe system, cast iron pipe and triple elbow drain pipe systems were installed. Noise level were decreased 15dB(A) in 250Hz. Noise level of pipe system's on the slab is less than under slab one. On the contrary water saving stool showed increasing the noise level.
