In this study, as a teaching way of classes by achievement level, low level students have taken five-minute tests that could be efficient in remedial feedback, and we have investigated the students' improvements of their assessment in mathematics through each of the unit tests. The results show that the five-minute tests with low level classes helped them develop mathematics problem-solving skills and also form positive attitudes about mathematics. More studies of the various methods must be done so that low level students can develop their abilities to solve mathematical problems skillfully.

We investigated the effect of brown-rice vinegar (BRV) ingestion after strenuous Wingate tests on energy substrates during a 2 hr recovery period. For this, seven healthy male adolescents were chosen as subjects. They performed 3 Wingate tests to induce fatigue, after which they ingested brown-rice vinegar (BRV) drink and/or water as a control (CON) after 15 min of the test. Blood was obtained pre-exercise and 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min post-exercise, and blood glucose, lactate, free fatty acids, ammonia, and cortisol were analyzed. After 120 min of recovery period, the 4th Wingate test was conducted to calculate the power recovery ratio of the 3rd and 4th trials. Breathing frequency, oxygen saturation, and heart rate did not show significant changes. Blood glucose level was lower in CON than BRV after 120 min of recovery, and blood lactate and ammonia levels were lower in BRV at 60 and 120 min. The higher free fatty acids were found at 60 and 120 min in BRV. In addition, Wingate power recovery ratio of peak power and peak power/body weight was significantly higher in BRV compared to CON. These results suggested that BRV ingestion after strenuous exercise facilitates fatigue recovery. Therefore, BRV might be effectively used as an ergogenic aid for events in which competitors compete two or more times a day.

An Adaptive Random Testing(ART) is one of test case generation algorithms, which was designed to get better performance in terms of fault-detection capability than that of Random Testing(RT) algorithm by locating test cases in evenly spreaded area. Two ART algorithms, such as Distance-based ART(D-ART) and Restricted Random Testing(RRT), had been indicated that they have significant drawbacks in computations, i.e., consuming quadratic order of runtime. To reduce the amount of computations of D-ART and RRT, iterative partitioning of input domain strategy was proposed. They achieved, to some extent, the moderate computation cost with relatively high performance of fault detection. Those algorithms, however, have yet the patterns of non-uniform distribution in test cases, which obstructs the scalability. In this paper we analyze the distribution of test cases in an iterative partitioning strategy, and propose a new method of input domain enlargement which makes the test cases get much evenly distributed. The simulation results show that the proposed one has about 3 percent of improvement in terms of mean relative F-measure for 2-dimension input domain, and shows 10 percent improvement for 3-dimension space.

본 논문에서는 분할된 스캔을 이용한 저전력 BIST 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 BIST는 내부 스캔 패스를 회로의 구조적인 정보와 테스트 패턴 집합의 특성에 따라 4개의 스캔 패스로 분할하고 일부 스캔 패스에만 입력패턴이 인가되도록 설계하였다. 따라서 테스트 패턴 입력 시에 스캔 패스로의 쉬프트 동작 수를 줄임으로써 회로 내부의 전체 상태천이 수를 줄일 수 있다. 또한 4개로 분할되는 스캔패스의 길이를 고려하여 각 스캔 패스에 대해 1/4의 속도로 낮춰진 테스트 클럭을 인가함으로써 전체 회로의 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. ISCAS89 벤치마크 회로에 대한 실험을 통하여 제안하는 BIST 구조가 기존 BIST 구조에 비해 최대 21%까지 전력소모를 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Hitherto, spatial resolution has commonly been evaluated by test patterns or phantoms built on some specific distances (from close to far) between two objects (or double targets). This evaluation method's shortcoming is that resolution is restricted to target distances of phantoms made for test. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, this study proposes and verifies a new method to efficiently test spatial resolution with a single target. For the research I used PSF and JND to propose an idea to measure spatial resolution. After that, I made experiments by commonly used phantoms to verify my new evaluation hypothesis inferred from the above method. To analyse the hypothesis, I used LabVIEW program and got a line pixel from digital image. The result was identical to my spatial-resolution hypothesis inferred from a single target. The findings of the experiment proves only a single target can be enough to relatively evaluate spatial resolution on a digital image. In other words, the limit of the traditional spatial-resolution evaluation method, based on double targets, can be overcome by my new evaluation one using a single target.

대용량의 음성합성용 데이터베이스를 용이하게 구축하기 위해 음성인식 시스템을 이용한 음소 경계 분할이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 자동 분할 결과를 직접 이용하여 합성음 을 생성할 경우 음소 경계 에러로 인하여 접합 왜곡이 많이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 단위 접합시 경계 에러를 고려하여 적합한 접합 위치를 찾 고자 하였다. 여기서 적합한 접합 위치는 스펙트럼의 불연속이 최소화된 접합점을 의미한다. 합성음에 대한 MOS(Mean Opinion Score) 테스트와 스펙트로그램(spectrogram)의 모양을 비교하므로써 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가하였다. 제안된 방법은 두 단계로 이루어져 있다. 첫째, 레퍼런스 패턴(reference pattern)과 두 개의 테스트 패턴(test pattern)을 선택하는 단 계와, 둘째, 앞과 뒤 테스트 패턴 사이의 적합한 접합위치를 찾는 단계이다. 본 연구에서는 패턴 사이의 스펙트로그램 비교를 위해 켑스트럼(cepstrum) 피라미터와 패턴 분류기 (pattern classifier)인 DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 제안된 알고 리즘을 평가한 청취 테스트의 결과에서 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 합성된 합성음의 음질 이 자동 분절로 생성된 단위를 그대로 이용한 경우의 음질보다 우수함을 보였다.

In recent years the complexity of digital systems has increased dramatically. Although semiconductor manufacturers try to ensure that their products are reliable, it is almost impossible not to have faults somewhere in a system at any given time. As complexity of circuits increases, the necessity of more efficient organized and automated methods for test generation is growing. But, up to now, most of popular and extensive methods for test generation nay be those which sequentially produce an output for an input pattern. They inevitably require a lot of time to search each fault in a system. In this paper, corresponding test patterns are generated through the partitioning method among those based on the exhaustive method. In addition, the method, which can discovers faults faster than other ones that have been proposed ever by inserting a pattern in parallel, is designed and implemented.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was developed for removing low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities. The efficiency of the adsorbent which was improved selective $CO_2$ adsorption capabilities was evaluated. The pellet type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite with mixing LiOH, binder, additives, and $H_2O$. Column tests showed over 90 % of $CO_2$ was adsorbed within 400min. Chamber tests including batch and continuous types were performed for evaluating the adsorbent module. By batch tests, it was evaluated that about 92% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. By continuous tests, 70% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. It was analyzed that over 2,500 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed as shown chamber tests. The reproducibility tests repeatedly performed for 15 days shows that over 1,000 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed. Adsorption capacity of the developed adsorbent was 5.0mmol $CO_2/g$ adsorbent which was analyzed by TGA. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to low $CO_2$ concentration and low temperature of indoor environment.

In this study, we isolated 32 strains of kerosene degrading bacteria from oil contaminated soil by enrichment culture. Isolates were screened for kerosene degradation efficiencies and K14 were selected which had the highest removal efficiency for 1,000 mg/L of kerosene. K14 were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by morphological, biochemical test and 16S rDNA analysis. The optimal culture condition were determined as initial inoculated cell concentration, 1.0 g/L; substrate concentration, 1,000 mg/L; temperature $30^{\circ}C$; pH 7. When we enforced batch test in this condition, K14 degraded 72% of kerosene with 1,000 mg/L during 72 hr. And, at low concentration (200 mg/L), K14 degraded 95.8% of kerosene during 48 hr. As a result, kerosene biodegradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa K14 could be useful for clean up of groundwater and soil contaminated with crude oil.
