The uniquely large dimensions of Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) make it possible to probe for stringent limits on total energy content, Faraday rotation, Alfven speeds, particle transport and radiation loss times. All of these quantities are more stringently limited or specified for GRG's than in more 'normal' FRII radio sources. I discuss how both global and detailed analyses of GRG's lead to constraints on the CR electron acceleration mechanisms in GRG's and by extension in all FRII radio sources. The properties of GRG's appear to rule out large scale Fermi-type shock acceleration. The plasma parameters in these systems set up conditions that are favorable for magnetic reconnection, or some other very efficient process of conversion of magnetic to particle energy. We conclude that whatever mechanism operates in GRG's is probably the primary extragalactic CR acceleration mechanism in the Universe.

In many applications of computer aided geometric design and computer graphics, B-spline is one of the most popular representation for curves and surfaces, and the evaluation of B-spline curves and surfaces is the most frequently used operation. For the evaluation and others, the power form representation of the curves and surfaces is preferred because it is possible to speed-up the operation using Horner's rule. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the above-mentioned conversion focusing on a dynamic case. Experiment shows that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the conventional approach when one or more control points of a B-spline curve and surface are dynamically moving.

This study is investigated the formative characteristics of Rap Music and Hiphop fashion, and I try to comprehend about the fashion mind and fashion culture of teenager 1. Teenager's Hiphop Fashion is subcultures, the fashion culture of teenager reflects their unique identity. 2. The formative characters of Rap Music and Hiphop Fashion are the incompatibility ignored their body size and the popularity caused street fashion imitation, the unbalance ignored a principle of fashion design. 3. Hiphop Fashion is consist of jump-style jacket, hood -shirt, stripe T-shirt and drum pants, baggy pants, snowboard pants and so on. 4. The characters of Hiphop Fashion is the breaking of rule and the destruction. 5. They select something which they like, even though the price is high, so they is tendency to editing coordinate 6. Fashion business for teenager, it needs an ideal conversion not for 'company' but for 'individual' As this results, fashion culture of teenager came out to the surface of water, because of Hiphop Fashion.

This paper deals with the problem of the optimal location of warehouses in the two stage distribution system, i.e., the distribution system where the product is transported from plants to customer areas via warehouses. The Problem is formulated with a zero-one mixed integer programming and an efficient branch and bound algorithm is then used to solve the problem. In order to obtain the solution of this problem, this paper shows the procedure of conversion of two stage distribution system into one stage distribution system. An improved method of solving the linear programming at the nodes and branching decision rule is also showed by this study.

The development of the durational component of prosody modelling was overviewed and discussed in text-to-speech conversion of spoken English and Korean, showing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. The possibility of integrating linguistic feature effects into the duration modelling of TTS systems was also investigated. This paper claims that current approaches to language timing synthesis still require an understanding of how segmental duration is affected by context. Three modelling approaches were discussed: sequential rule systems, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) models and Sums-of-Products (SoP) models. The CART and SoP models show good performance results in predicting segment duration in English, while it is not the case in the SoP modelling of spoken Korean.

The purpose of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant control is to provide stable power efficiently by appropriately regulating the seawater flow rates and the working fluid flow rate under conditions of continually changing seawater temperatures. This paper describes digital control of working fluid flow rate based on an adaptive control theory for the "Imari 2" OTEC plant at Saga University. Provisions have been made for linkage between the software of the adaptive control theory and the hardware of the OTEC plant. In implementing the working fluid flow rate control, if persistency of excitation conditions are lost, the algorithm of identification often exhibits bursting phenomena. To avoid this difficulty, the stopping-and-starting rule for identification was derived and was used for the working fluid flow rate control. Satisfactory control performance was then obtained by using this digital control system.ol system.

Previously developed methods for pitch modification have not been based on the voice source model. Therefore, the synthesized speech often sounds unnatural although it may be highly intelligible. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the alteration of a voice source signal with pitch period and to establish the pitch-modification rule based on the result of this analysis. We examine the alteration of the interval of closing phase, closed phase and open phase using the excitation waveform as the pitch increases. In comparison to the previous methods which performed directly on the speech signal, the pitch modification method based on a voice source model shows high intelligibility and naturalness. This study might benefit the application to the speaker identification and the voice color conversion. Therefore the proposed method will provide high quality synthetic speech.

This paper presents a novel design of a fuzzy control strategy (FCS) based on torque distribution for parallel hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). An empirical load-regulating vehicle operation strategy is developed on the basis of analysis of the components efficiency map data and the overall energy conversion efficiency. The aim of the strategy is to optimize the fuel economy and balance the battery state-of-charge (SOC), while satisfying the vehicle performance and drivability requirements. In order to accomplish this strategy, a fuzzy inference engine with a rule-base extracted from the empirical strategy is designed, which works as the kernel of a fuzzy torque distribution controller to determine the optimal distribution of the driver torque request between the engine and the motor. Simulation results reveal that compared with the conventional strategy which uses precise threshold parameters the proposed FCS improves fuel economy as well as maintains better battery SOC within its operation range.

한글 표기를 음가로 변환하는 규칙을 역으로 적용하여 음가를 한글 표기로 전환시키는 표준 규칙을 고안하는 것이 본 연구의 목표다. 이러한 표준 규칙은 음성인식에 반드시 필요한 귀중한 자료가 된다. 음성 인식은 표준으로 기록된 음성의 패턴과 입력을 비교하여 가장 유사한 패턴을 찾는 방법을 사용한다. 이때 표준 음성 패턴이 띄어쓰기 단위라면 수백만 개의 표준 패턴이 수록되어야 한다. 이렇게 하면 표준 패턴을 위한 데이터베이스도 너무 커지고 비교회수도 너무 많아져서 실용화가 불가능하다. 그래서, 음절단위로 인식하는 것이 바람직하다. 음절단위로 인식하면 인식된 음가가 한글 표기 문법에 맞지 않으므로, 인식 결과를 출력할 때에는 음가를 그대로 출력하는 것이 아니라 한글표기로 변환하여 표기해야 한다 이때, 본 연구의 연구 결과인 표준규칙을 사용한다.
