Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness which is caused by increase of fluid pressure in the eye which damages the optic nerve and eventually causing vision loss. An automated technique to diagnose glaucoma disease can reduce the physicians’ effort in screening of Glaucoma in a person through the fundal retinal images. In this paper, optimal hyper analytic wavelet transform for Glaucoma detection technique from fundal retinal images is proposed. The optimal coefficients for transformation process are found out using the hybrid GSO-Cuckoo search algorithm. This technique consists of pre-processing module, optimal transformation module, feature extraction module and classification module. The implementation is carried out with MATLAB and the evaluation metrics employed are accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Comparative analysis is carried out by comparing the hybrid GSO with the conventional GSO. The results reported in our paper show that the proposed technique has performed well and has achieved good evaluation metric values. Two 10- fold cross validated test runs are performed, yielding an average fitness of 91.13% and 96.2% accuracy with CGD-BPN (Conjugate Gradient Descent- Back Propagation Network) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) respectively. The techniques also gives high sensitivity and specificity values. The attained high evaluation metric values show the efficiency of detecting Glaucoma by the proposed technique.

Viscoelastic damping materials are widely used to reduce noise and vibration because of its low cost and easy implementation, for examples, on the body structure of passenger cars, air planes, electric appliances and ships. To design the damped structures, the material property such as elastic modulus and loss factor is essential information. The four-parameter fractional derivative model well describes the dynamic characteristics of the viscoelastic damping materials with respect to both frequency and temperature. However, the identification procedure of the four-parameter is very time-consuming one. In this study a new identification procedure of the four-parameters is proposed by using an FE model and a gradient-based numerical search algorithm. The identification procedure goes two sequential steps to make measured frequency response functions(FRF) coincident with simulated FRFs: the first one is a peak alignment step and the second one is an amplitude adjustment step. A numerical example shows that the proposed method is useful in identifying the viscoelastic material parameters of fractional derivative model.

The Neutral Beam Injection(NBI) generates ultra-high temperature energy in the tokamak of nuclear fusion. The NBI consists of filament power supply acceleration and deceleration power supply and arc power supply(APS). The APS has characteristics of low voltage and high current. APS generate arc through constant output of voltage and current. So this paper proposed suitable buck converter for low voltage and high current. The case of proposed buck converter used parallel switch because it can increase capacity and decrease conduction loss. When an arc is generated, the NBI chamber occur high voltage. And it will break output capacitor of buck converter. Therefore the output capacitor was removed in the proposed converter. Thus buck converter with constant output is the most important design of the output inductor. In this paper, designed APS verified operation of system and stability through simulation and prototype.

Reinforced concrete containment (RCC) building has long been considered as the last barrier for keeping the radiation from leaking into the environment. It is important to quantify the performance of these structures and facilities considering extreme conditions. However, the preceding research on evaluating nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, particularly considering mainshock-aftershock seismic sequences, is deficient. Therefore, this manuscript serves to investigate the seismic fragility of a typical RCC building subjected to mainshock-aftershock seismic sequences. The implementation of the fragility assessment has been performed based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method. A lumped mass RCC model considering the tri-linear skeleton curve and the maximum point-oriented hysteretic rule is employed for IDA analyses. The results indicate that the seismic capacity of the RCC building would be overestimated without taking into account the mainshock-aftershock effects. It is also found that the seismic capacity of the RCC building decreases with the increase of the relative intensity of aftershock ground motions to mainshock ground motions. In addition, the effects of artificial mainshock-aftershock ground motions generated from the repeated and randomized approaches and the polarity of the aftershock with respect to the mainshock on the evaluation of the RCC are also researched, respectively.

This study aims to assess the mobile information technology as an alternative means for managing information of irrigation facilities. Traditional irrigation facility management which is operated manually has faced to critical limitations, such as delayed and loss in data handling and facilities misidentification. Real time download, collection, and update the information about the irrigation structure conditions in terms of operation and maintenance can provide a better support of the management efforts. Thus this study suggested mobile information technology using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and QR (Quick Response) code for real time information management of irrigation facilities. This paper describes the applications and implementation results of real-time mobile technology for the field information communication of the irrigation facilities. The system was tested in I-dong irrigation districts in Gyounggi-province, Korea and the assessment of operability demonstrated beneficial usability for inspection of agricultural irrigation facilities in the irrigation district. The tests showed that RFID was preferred method expected to improve operability although these had some limitation. The mobile technologies are expected to increase efficiency and effectiveness of irrigation facilities management.

멀티미디어 통신은 네트워크의 발달로 인하여 날로 그 응용분야가 발전되어 가고 있다. 일반 가정에서 사용되는 가전제품의 원격 제어에서부터 특수분야인 의료, 게임, 화상 회의와 화상채팅에 이르기까지 우리 생활의 전역에 사용되어지고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 통신의 필수적인 요건은 많은 양의 데이터를 고속으로 전송해야 한다는 것이다. 그러나 고속의 네트워크 환경에서 통신망의 전송률이 데이터를 처리하는 프로세서의 처리속도를 초과하는 경우 네트워크의 성능을 저하하는 병목현상이 각 노드에 발생하여 데이터 전송의 속도가 느려지고, 많은 양의 패킷 손실을 유발하는 주요 원인으로 지목되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 병목현상을 완화하기 위하여 클라이언트 프로세서의 처리능력을 감안, 수신능력을 예측하고 그에 따른 흐름제어방법을 제시하며 실제 구현을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다.

다양한 서비스를 제공하는 인터넷 환경에서 수많은 중요정보가 전송되고 있으나, 대부분의 내부 사용자는 어떠한 중요 정보가 전송되는지 모르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 패킷 내에 포함된 중요정보를 지속적으로 모니터링하고, 유출 여부를 사용자에게 알려주는 차단 시스템 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위하여 중요정보 필터링 시스템을 설계하고 구현하여 그 결과를 분석한다. 사용자는 제안 시스템을 사용하여 중요정보의 유출 여부를 시각적으로 직접 확인할 수 있으며, 해당 패킷을 폐기할 수도 있다. 본 연구 결과는 중요정보 유출 방지에 기여함으로써 기업 내부정보를 대상으로 하는 다양한 사이버 침해를 줄이는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

The domination of the Internet by TCP-based services has spawned many efforts to provide high network utilization with low loss and delay in a simple and scalable manner. Active queue management (AQM) algorithms attempt to achieve these goals by regulating queues at bottleneck links to provide useful feedback to TCP sources. While many AQM algorithms have been proposed, most suffer from instability, require careful configuration of nonintuitive control parameters, or are not practical because of slow response to dynamic traffic changes. In this paper, we propose a new AQM algorithm, hybrid random early detection (HRED), that combines the more effective elements of recent algorithms with a random early detection (RED) core. HRED maps instantaneous queue length to a drop probability, automatically adjusting the slope and intercept of the mapping function to account for changes in traffic load and to keep queue length within the desired operating range. We demonstrate that straightforward selection of HRED parameters results in stable operation under steady load and rapid adaptation to changes in load. Simulation and implementation tests confirm this stability, and indicate that overall performances of HRED are substantially better than those of earlier AQM algorithms. Finally, HRED control parameters provide several intuitive approaches to trading between required memory, queue stability, and response time.

고속 탐색 및 기존의 이진 연산 움직임 추정 알고리즘은 연산량 및 처리시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있지만 전역 탐색 움직임 추정 알고리즘에 비하여 성능이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 구현이 용이하고 움직임 추정을 고속으로 수행 할 수 있는 새로운 BC-ABBM 알고리즘을 제안하였다. BC-ABBM 알고리즘은 움직임 추정시 필요한 연산을 이진 연산으로만 수행하면서 전역 탐색에 근접한 성능을 나타낸다. BC-ABBM 알고리즘의 움직임 추정 성능은 QCIF와 CIF 포맷의 100프레임 영상을 이용하여 분석하였다. BC-ABBM 알고리즘의 PSNR 성능은 전역 탐색 알고리즘보다 약 0.04dB 정도 떨어지지만, 고속 탐색 알고리즘 및 기존의 이진 연산 알고리즘보다는 약 0.6∼l.4dB 정도 우수함을 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.
