DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) is an important multimedia broadcasting technology capable of high data-rate transmission and adopted by Europe. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is the backbone technique employed in DVB-T to support multimedia services that have various bandwidths. Unfortunately, an OFDM signal has a large PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). In this paper, we investigate the performance of a simple PAPR reduction scheme for the DVB-T system, which requires no change of a receiver structure or no additional information transmission. The approach we employed is clipping in the time and frequency domains. The time-domain clipping is carried out with a predetermined clipping level while the frequency-domain clipping is done within EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). This approach is suboptimal with lower computational complexity compared to the optimal method. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed one is getting more effective at lower modulation levels and with more allowed constellation error.

To evaluate growth adaptation of the soybean in paddy field, five soybean cultivars were grown in Yeoncheon with two cultivating methods, level row and high ridge. Growth characters of the top plants, such as stem lengths, numbers of branches, diameters of stem, were higher under high ridge than under level row. However, the differences among the cultivars were bigger than those between the cultivation methods in each cultivar. Comparing the growth of top plants, dry matters in level row were higher than those in high ridge in V5 stage, however, via verses as growth progressed with significant differences among the cultivars. Roots were more developed under high ridge than those under level row during whole growth stages, such as V5, R2, and R5 stages. T/R ratio in level row was significantly higher than that in high ridge with significant differences among the cultivars.

Formal methods for protocol description of a system is based on the implementation id S/W. However, the importance of H/W implementation for a parts of protocol design is increasing. The combination between H/W and IP technology is needed since the implementation environment is changing from S/W to H/W for implementation of specific application protocol. H/W implementation method starting with formal description procedure is essential to guarantree correctness and reliability of the implemented H/W by characteristic of formal description language. Inthis paper, for an automated H/W implementations, ESTELLE, a formal description method, is adopted. A transformation method from specification of ESTELLE to VHDL is suggested. This is an conceptual method that comparing and analyzing similarities between basic units of protocol description such as computation and communication unit and inter processors in H/W. Then we describe transformation model, and suggest example of transformation from ESTELLE to VHDL with Inres protocol.

In recent years, extreme rainfall and rainy seasons caused by climate change have caused river flooding and flooding damage, and it is urgent to solve economic and environmental problems in the city center due to the increase in the number of peak homes. The gap block, called the fitting block, is designed to facilitate rainwater pitching by forming a gap between the block and the block by forming a concave part and a protrusion of the block differently without the use of an existing spacer. In this study, for the production of such a gap block, the existing cement content was reduced and aramid fibers and exploration fibers, which are industrial by-products such as Goroslag fine powder and reinforcing fibers, were applied.

Many parameters such as textural, cooking and pasting properties and chemical components aye the main reasons of tardy progress in evaluation of cooked rice. To increase the evaluation effect of cooked rice, physical properties and palatability of cooked rice were studied with five varieties. The highest palatability was observed in Kosihikari while Hoan showed the lowest value. The cooked rice of Kosihikari showed a high values of waxiness (0.12) and boiling time (21.1 min.) while the porosity and expansibility were as low as 19.0 and $28.6\%$, respectively. The water absorption time of Kosihikari and Sindongin was a little bit slow compare to the other varieties. A negative correlations were observed between palatability and expansibility (-0.390), porosity (-0.874**) and water absorption time (-0.960**) while a positive correlations were observed between palatability and boiling time (0.861**), waxiness (0.920**) and hardness (0.478). The path coefficient of water absorption time, porosity, boiling time and waxiness contributed to the palatability were 35.9, 22.7, 17.0 and $8.2\%$, respectively, Thus, the results obtained in this study suggested that the physical characteristics of vice grains could be effectively utilized in high quality of cooked rice breeding programs.
