An active noise control (ANC) algorithm for noise canceling headphone is proposed. In this study, the feedback ANC operated with the filtered-x least mean square algorithm (FxLMS) algorithm is used to attenuate the undesired noise. Also an adaptive residual music canceller (RMC) is proposed for enhancing the accuracy of the reference signal of the feedback ANC. Simulation results show that a high quality of music sound can be consistently achieved in a time-varying secondary path situation.

TThis paper suggests an heuristic polynomial time algorithm to solve the optimal solution for QAP (quadratic assignment problem). While Hungarian algorithm is most commonly used for a linear assignment, there is no polynomial time algorithm for the QAP. The proposed algorithm derives a grid type layout among unit distances of a distance matrix. And, we apply max-flow/min-distance approach to assign this grid type layout in such a descending order way that the largest flow is matched to the smallest unit distance from flow matrix. Evidences from implementation results of the proposed algorithm on various numerical grid type QAP examples show that a solution to the QAP could be obtained by a polynomial algorithm.

In this paper, the optimal performance of optical second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation has been investigated theoretically in terms of minimization of the root-mean-square (RMS) pulse broadening. The optimal compensation vector in feedforward-type second-order PMD compensation has been derived, and the RMS pulse broadening factor after the optimal second-order PMD compensation has been analytically calculated. The calculated result has been compared with the previously reported simulation result where numerically optimized feedback scheme was adopted. They are in good agreement, which verifies the validity of the derivation. The investigation in this work will form the basis for the implementation of the feed-forward-type second-order PMD compensation.

Comparative thickening and dewatering characteristics of municipal wastewater sludge were investigated in terms of separated and combined treatment of primary and secondary BNR sludge. Also, various conditioning methods such as cation polymer addition, steam and ultrasonication treatment were examined to improve dewaterability of sludge. The dewaterability was measured by using specific resistant test, wedge zone simulator and centrifuge. The result of the sludge thickening test revealed that separated thickening was better in terms of solids recovery and supernatant quality. Particularly, the thickening of primary sludge with high solids (about 3.5% TS) showed very poor solid separation. The addition of cation polymer showed better conditioning characteristic for dewatering and the optimal polymer dosage was 0.26% for primary sludge, 0.43% for secondary sludge and 0.38% for combined sludge. Contrary to the result of the thickening, the dewatering test revealed that dewatering of the combined sludge is better than that of separated sludge, representing better solids separation and filtrate quality. The polymer addition was essential to improve dewaterability in filter (belt) press type dewatering but it was inefficient for the dewatering of secondary sludge only. The centrifuge type dewatering showed better performance and the dewaterability was slightly improved when the polymer was added. Based on the results of this research a sustainable sludge treatment process, particularly in terms of the recycle water quality and solids recovery, was proposed.

In this paper, using third-order system of the PLL we'll analyze the aspect of flicker noise appearing troubles in the low frequency band. Since it is difficult to analyze mathematically flicker noise in the third-order system of the PLL, introducing the concept of pseudo-damping factor using the optimized second-filter has made an ease of the access of the flicker-noise variance. we'll show a numerical formula of flicker variance in the third-order system of the PLL which is compared with that of 1/f noise variance in the second-order system of the PLL.

과거에는 보안디바이스의 안전성을 탑재된 암호알고리즘의 안전성에 의존하였다. 하지만 부채널 분석을 통해 암호알고리즘의 안전성과는 별개로 부채널 정보에 의한 보안디바이스의 물리적 취약성이 존재함이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 보안디바이스의 물리적 취약성을 보완하기 위해서는 최소 2차 상관전력분석에 대한 대응법이 간구되어야 한다. 최근 2차 상관전력분석에 대한 실용적인 대응법으로 1차 마스킹과 셔플링을 혼합한 방법을 많이 활용하고 있다. 하지만 1차 마스킹과 셔플링이 혼합된 부채널 대응법을 1차 상관전력분석으로 분석하였을 경우, 특이한 피크가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 마스킹과 셔플링이 혼합된 부채널 대응법을 1차 상관전력분석으로 분석하였을 때, 특이한 피트가 발생함을 실험적으로 확인하였고, 그 피크 발생 원인을 소개한다. 뿐만 아니라, 피크 발생 정보를 추가적인 부채널 분석 정보로 활용할 수 있는 방법을 소개한다.

The effects of RRA treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated by differential scanning calolimetry, transmission electron microscopy, microhardness measurement and electrical conductivity. The hardness of 2nd-step aged specimen at $175^{\circ}C$ was decreased to mimimum value and increased to a peak hardness, and then re-decreased with retrogression treatment. It was found that the hardness of 2nd-step aged specimen was further increased by 3rd step aging treatment($120^{\circ}C$x24h). The initial decrease in hardness during 2nd-step aging was due to the partial dissolution of pre-existing GP zone, the major precipitation hardening phase at T6 condition. It was confirmed that the major precipitation hardening phase at 3rd-step aging was GP zone and η' phase. The electrical conductivity increased continually through 2nd-step and 3rd-step aging treatment. It was conclude that the optium 2nd-step aging condition was at $175^{\circ}C$ for 50min by considering the hardness and electrical conductivity.

This study assessed the desired wage guidelines for medical technologists (MTs), mainly primary care providers and those in secondary medical institutions, in 16 cities and provinces in Korea. A survey of 1,327 MTs was conducted using a structured Google questionnaire from August 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022. The wage levels differed according to gender, age, education, career, region, and employment status. There were differences in wage levels according to gender and region with less than one year of career, and the wage gap was relatively larger for woman than man. An awareness of wage compensation appropriate for work performance, and technology value compensation were low at 2.01, 2.23, and 2.30, respectively. This study suggests that primary and secondary medical institutions should provide reasonable wages compensation for MTs' work in order to create an environment where MTs can receive stable jobs and work. Moreover, the Korean Association of Medical Technologists should establish a cooperative system so that the starting wage of MTs in primary and secondary medical institutions can receive the desired wage of 34 million won.

This study was conducted to investigate characteristics of panicle traits which are important factors affecting yield and grain quality of rice. Twelve panicle traits in 178 Korean rice varieties composed of 160 Japonica type varieties and 18 Tongil type varieties were investigated. Tongil type varieties had longer panicle and thicker neck node than Japonica type varieties. Other traits such as number of total spikelets, total rachis-branches, secondary rachis-branches (SRBs) per panicle, total spikelets on SRBs per panicle, mean number of spikelets on a SRB, and mean number of SRBs per primary rachis branch (PRB) in Tongil type varieties were also higher than in Japonica type varieties. On the other hand, Japonica type varieties were shown to have well exserted panicle and little more mean number of spikelets on a PRB than Tongil type varieties. According to cluster analysis based on 12 panicle traits, 178 varieties were divided into four main groups. Group I had 133 Japonica type varieties and was characterized by relatively well exserted short panicle, small thickness of neck node, few rachis-branches and little sink size than other group. Group II was composed of 24 Japonica type varieties and 6 Tongil type varieties showing medium value and range between Group I and III. Group III included 11 Tongil type varieties and 1 Japonica type variety 'Baegjinju1' characterized by relatively poor exserted long panicle, big thickness of neck node, many rachis-branches and large sink size. Group IV was solely composed of 'Nongan', which had well exserted long panicle, big thickness of neck node, many rachis-branches and large-sink size. In correlation analysis, number of total spikelets per panicle showed very high correlation with the number of total rachis-branches per panicle (r=0.975), number of spikelets on SRBs per panicle (0.962), number of SRBs per panicle (0.959), mean number of SRBs per PRB (0.746) and mean number of spikelets on SRBs (0.738).
