Parameters and quantiles of the 2-parameter generalized Pareto distribution were estimated using the methods of regular moments, modified moments, probability weighted moments, linear moments, maximum likelihood, and entropy for Monte Carlo-generated samples. The performance of these seven estimators was statistically compared, with the objective of identifying the most robust estimator. It was found that in general the methods of probability-weighted moments and L-moments performed better than the methods of maximum likelihood estimation, moments and entropy, especially for smaller values of the coefficient of variation and probability of exceedance.

The objective of this study is to develop a novel method for evaluating forward osmosis (FO) membrane performances using a non-pressurized FO system. Basic membrane performance parameters including water (A) and solute (B) permeability coefficients and unique parameter for FO membrane such as the support layer structural parameter (S) were determined in two FO modes (i.e., active layer faces feed solution (AL-FS) and active layer faces draw solution (AL-DS)). Futhermore, these parameters were compared with those determined in a pressurized reverse osmosis (RO) system. Theoretical water flux was calculated by employing these parameters to a model that accounts for the effects of both internal and external concentration polarization. Water flux from FO experiment was compared to theoretical water fluxes for assessing the reliability of those parameters determined in three different operation modes (i.e., AL-FS FO, AL-DS FO, and RO modes). It is demonstrated that FO membrane performance parameters can be accurately measured in non-pressurized FO mode. Specifically, membrane performance parameters determined in AL-DS FO mode most accurately predict FO water flux. This implies that the evaluation of FO membrane performances should be performed in non-pressurized FO mode, which can prevent membrane compaction and/or defect and more precisely reflect FO operation conditions.

In the conventional sliding mode control technique, a priori knowledge of the bound of external disturbances or/and parameter uncertainties is required to assure control robustness. This, however, may not be easy to obtain in practical situation. This work presents a novel methodology, a sliding mode controller with perturbation estimator, which offers a robust control performance without a priori knowledge about the perturbations (disturbances and parameter uncertainties). The proposed technique is featured by an integrated average value of the imposed perturbation over a certain sampling period. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a two-link robotic system is adopted and its position control performance is evaluated. In addition, a comparative work between the conventional technique and the proposed one is undertaken.

FOUNDATION fieldbus provides scheduling and token-passing services for cyclic and sporadic data respectively. In this paper, we evaluate the delay performance of token-passing mechanism in FOUNDATION fieldbus network system using an experimental model. This paper introduces a method of developing an experimental model which consists of 10 nodes of FOUNDATION fieldbus communication device. Using the experimental model, we evaluate the delay performance of time-critical and time-available data with respect to change of TTRT parameter.

This paper begins with the seismic performance evaluation of an existing building, which exhibits the need of additional damping to reduce its response. Required damping ratio is found by capacity spectrum method to satisfy a target response. It is expressed with the design parameter of active mass damper by adopting Linear Quadratic Regulator, Optimal gains are obtained and then weighting matrices are found. Finally the seismic performance by added active mass damper is demonstrated, which satisfies the target response.

In the study, simulation result was studied by connecting PID controller in series to the established Neural Networks Controller. Neural Network model is composed of two layers to evaluate tracking performance improvement. The reqular dynamic characteristics was also studied for the expected error to be minimized by using Widrow-Hoff delta rule. As a result of the study, We identified that tracking performance inprovement was developed more in case of connecting PID than Neural Network Contoller and that tracking plant parameter in 251 sample was approached rapidly case of time variable.

This paper presents an autotuning algorithm of scaling factor in order to improve system performance. We define the scaling factor of fuzzy controller as a function of error and error change. This function is tuned by the output of performance evaluation level utilizing the error of overshoot and rising time. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has good tuning performance for a system with parameter change.

본 논문에서는 ATM 망에서 사용되고 있는 예방적 트래픽 제어 방법의 하나인, 사용 변수 제어(UPC : Usage Parameter Control)를 ATM 셀(Cell) 헤더(Header)내에 있는 셀 손실 우선순위 정보(Cell Loss Priority Bit)를 기반으로 하는 개선된 UPC 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 ITU-T 1.371에서 정의한 사용 변수 제어 알고리즘을 적용했을 경우 알고리즘의 시작점에 따라 우선순위가 높은 셀(CLP = 0)의 손실률이 크게 차이 날 수 있다는 단점을 제거하였다. 즉 제안한 알고리즘은 우순순위가 높은 셀의 손실률을 최소로 하고, 트래픽의 다중화 및 역다중화 과정에서 발생되는 트래픽의 군집성(Burstiness of the traffic)을 해소할 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 이산시간 분포를 갖는 입력 트래픽에 대한 모의실험을 행하였고, 그 결과 ITU-T에서 정의한 UPC 알고리즘보다 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents a detailed subjective quality assessment for the ultra-high definition (UHD) videos having frame rates of 30fps and 60 fps. The subjective assessment is based on the ITU-R BT-500 recommendations, where double stimulus continuous quality scale (DSCQS-type II) test is performed for the evaluation of the perceived quality of the user's in terms of differential mean opinion score (DMOS). Encoding of the UHD videos by opting encoders i.e. H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, and VP9 at five different quantization parameter (QP) levels is done to investigate the perceived user's quality of experience (QoE) given as DMOS. Moreover, the encoding efficiency as the encoding time for each encoder and qualitative performance by employing full-reference (FR) quality metrics are presented in this work.

The recording density of HDD is increasing in ratio of 100% each year. Because the increasing of recording density requires the feature of high rotation, fixation and low-noise, fluid hydrodynamic bearing(FDB) has been paid attention to overcome a limitation in ball bearing. Most of researches related to improving performance of FDB have been studied in Japan which has 80% more market share of HDD spindle motor assembly. Main subject of studies are about for the design of the groove shape, manufacturing process of fluid dynamic bearing, performance evaluation and measurement. In HDD, non-repeatable runout(NRRO) is most important parameter which determines the performance of HDD spindle system because NRRO is unpredictable that cannot be compensated in head/slider servo system. In this study, performance evaluation system can measure dynamic behaviors were designed and methodology for calculating imbalance, RRO, and NRRO were proposed.
