In this paper, time-frequency analysis algorithms, empirical mode decomposition and local mean decomposition, are reviewed and their applications to nonlinear and nonstationary real-world data are discussed. In addition, their generic extensions to complex domain are addressed for the analysis of multichannel data. Simulations of these algorithms on synthetic data illustrate the fundamental structure of the algorithms and how they are designed for the analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary data. Applications of the complex version of the algorithms to the synthetic data also demonstrate the benefit of the algorithms for the accurate frequency decomposition of multichannel data.

The time-varying mean (TVM) component of non-stationary wind speeds is commonly extracted utilizing empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in practice, whereas the accuracy of the extracted TVM is difficult to be quantified. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes an approach to identify and extract the optimal TVM from several TVM results obtained by the EMD. It is suggested that the optimal TVM of a 10-min time history of wind speeds should meet both the following conditions: (1) the probability density function (PDF) of fluctuating wind component agrees well with the modified Gaussian function (MGF). At this stage, a coefficient p is newly defined as an evaluation index to quantify the correlation between PDF and MGF. The smaller the p is, the better the derived TVM is; (2) the number of local maxima of obtained optimal TVM within a 10-min time interval is less than 6. The proposed approach is validated by a numerical example, and it is also adopted to extract the optimal TVM from the field measurement records of wind speeds collected during a sandstorm event.

다양한 분야에서 시그널(signal) 형태로 자료들이 표현된다. 예를 들면 심전도(electrocardiogram)는 심근에서 발생하는 활동 전류를 나타내는데, 심장의 박동에 따라 수축과 이완을 반복하는 과정을 시간에 따른 활동 전류량의 변동으로 나타낸다. 현실세계에서 측정하거나 관찰되는 시그널에는 다양한 형태의 시그널들이 혼합되어 있는 경우가 흔하다. 예를 들어 오케스트라 연주의 아름다운 선율은 고유한 주파수(frequency)를 지닌 악기들의 다양한 소리로 구성되어 있으며, 각기 다른 음조(note)가 하나로 모여 완벽한 하모니를 형성하게 된다. 시그널이 정상인(stationary) 경우에 혼합된 시그널들을 분해하여 분석하는 방법에 대해 현재까지 다양하게 연구되어 왔다. 자료가 비정상(non-stationary)일 경우에는 기존의 방법론들을 적용시키기에는 한계가 있다. 비정상성 자료를 다루기 위해 Huang 등 (1998)은 경험적 모드분해법(empirical mode decomposition)이라는 방법을 제안하였다. 자료에 내포되어 있는 국소적인 파동(oscillation)을 국소 극값들(local extrema)을 식별하여 자료 적응적으로 추출한다. 경험적 모드분해법은 잡음(error)에 의해 자료가 오염되어 있는 경우에는 국소 극값들을 통하여 국소적인 파동을 추정하기 어려우며, 자료의 크기가 커짐에 따라 계산량도 크게 늘어나는 단점 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이차 미분을 이용하여 국소적인 파동을 식별하고 추정하는 새로운 방법론을 제시하고자 한다.

Magneto-cardiogram(MCG) signals may be highly distorted by the environmental noise, such as power-line interference, broadband white noise, surrounding magnetic noise, and baseline wondering. Several kinds of digital filters and noise cancellation methods have been designed and realized by many researchers, but these methods gave some problems that the original signal may be distorted by digital filter due to the wideband characteristics of background noise. To eliminate noise effectively without distortion of MCG signals, we performed multi-level frequency decomposition using wavelet packets and local adaptive noise cancellation in each local frequency range. In addition to the proposed wavelet filter to eliminate these various non-stationary noise elements, the local adaptive filter using the least mean square(LMS) algorithm and the soft threshold do-noising method are introduced in this paper. The signal to noise ratio(SNR) and the reconstruction square error(RSE) are calculated to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and compared with the results of the conventional wavelet filter and adaptive filter. The experimental results show that the proposed local adaptive filtering method is better than the conventional methods.

고유가와 기후변화로 인해 에너지 수요관리정책에 대한 관심이 국내외 적으로 높아지고 있다. 그렇지만 국내에서는 에너지 수요관리와 관련해서 지방정부의 역할이 미약하기만 한 실정이다. 에너지 수요관리정책과 관련해서는 기술력과 자금을 확보한 중앙정부의 역할이 중요하겠지만 직접적인 에너지 소비지에 밀착되어 있는 지방정부의 역할도 중요할 수 있다. 따라서 지방정부의 에너지 수요관리정책을 활성화시키고 5년마다 수립되는 '지역에너지계획'의 실행력을 높이기 위해서는 지역의 에너지 소비특성에 대한 정확한 이해에 기반한 계획의 수립이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전국 16개 지자체의 에너지 소비를 인구, 생산, 원단위라는 항목으로 분해해서 그 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 지수분해분석 결과 광역시의 경우에는 외환위기 이후 생산 증가로 인한 에너지 소비 증가를 원단위 개선 효과로 일정 부분 상쇄시킨 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 도 지역의 경우에는 제조업 중심의 산업화로 인해 외환위기 이후에도 에너지 소비 증가를 상쇄시키지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 논문에서는 제조업 비중이 높은 도 지역의 경우 에너지 저소비형 산업구조로의 전환이 필요하며, 3차 산업 중심의 구조전환이 이루어진 광역시의 경우에는 건물, 수송 분야의 에너지 효율개선이 필요함을 제안할 수 있었다.

The world's sustainable growth is being severely hampered by the inefficient use of water resources. Despite the widely acknowledged importance of trade in global and regional water and food security, societal reliance on local production as well as international trade remains inadequately assessed. Therefore, using South Korea as a case study, this study fills in this research gap by applying the virtual water concept, the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method, and the Tapio decoupling model. The virtual water concept was used to estimate South Korea's net virtual water trade for major grain crops from 1992 to 2017. Then, the LMDI method was utilized to assess the driving factors causing changes in net virtual water trade. Lastly, the Tapio decoupling model was used to investigate the decoupling relationships between economic growth and the driving factors of net virtual water trade. Results showed that South Korea remains a net importer of virtual water flows with respect to grain crops, with an average import of 16,559.24 million m³ over the study period. In addition, the change in net virtual water trade could be attributed to water intensity effect, product structure effect, economic effect, and population effect. However, water intensity and economic effects were the major decisive factors for decrease and increase in net virtual water trade respectively, while the population and product structure effects had minor positive influences on the net virtual water trade. Furthermore, water intensity and economic growth showed a strong decoupling in most periods, while the decoupling state between product structure and economic growth was observed as expansive negative decoupling. Likewise, population size and economic growth showed a weak decoupling in most periods. The results reveal South Korea's status as it concerns the virtual water trade of grain crops, thus providing valuable insights into the sustainability of trade activities for the management of local water resources.

When markers attached to body segment are captured by camera, they generally have many noises due to intrinsic biomechanical characteristics. In this study, one technique to reduce these noises is suggested, which constructs a local coordinates of the markers using time-mean lengths of the measured markers and calculates a linear transformation matrix of the interesting body using least square error technique. This matrix is decomposed into two matrices of rotation and flexibility. Suggested method does well for 3 markers or more, and shows consistent results without regard to choice of reference axis.

The first step of performance-based design for transmission lines is the determination of wind fields as well as wind loads, which are largely depending on local wind climate and the surrounding terrain. Wind fields in a mountainous area are very different with that in a flat terrain. This paper firstly investigated both mean and fluctuating wind characteristics of a typical mountainous wind field by wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The speedup effects of mean wind and specific turbulence properties, i.e., turbulence intensity, power spectral density (PSD) and coherence function, are highlighted. Then a hybrid simulation framework for generating three dimensional (3D) wind velocity field in the mountainous area was proposed by combining the CFD and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method given the properties of the target turbulence field. Finally, a practical 220 kV transmission line was employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed wind field generation framework and its role in the performance-based design. It was found that the terrain-induce turbulence effects dominate the performance-based structural design of transmission lines running through the mountainous area.

We search for misclassified type 1 AGNs among type 2 AGNs identified with emission line flux ratios, and investigate the properties of the sample. Using 4 113 local type 2 AGNs at 0.02 < z < 0.05 selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, we detected a broad component of the $H{\alpha}$ line with a Full-Width at Half-Maximum (FWHM) ranging from 1 700 to $19090km\;s^{-1}$ for 142 objects, based on the spectral decomposition and visual inspection. The fraction of the misclassified type 1 AGNs among type 2 AGN sample is ~3.5%, implying that a large number of missing type 1 AGN population may exist. The misclassified type 1 AGNs have relatively low luminosity with a mean broad $H{\alpha}$ luminosity, log $L_{H\alpha}=40.50{\pm}0.35\;erg\;s^{-1}$, while black hole mass of the sample is comparable to that of the local black hole population, with a mean black hole mass, log $M_{BH}=6.94{\pm}0.51\;M_{\odot}$. The mean Eddington ratio of the sample is log $L_{bol}/L_{Edd}=-2.00{\pm}0.40$, indicating that black hole activity is relatively weak, hence, AGN continuum is too weak to change the host galaxy color. We find that the O III lines show significant velocity offsets, presumably due to outflows in the narrow-line region, while the velocity offset of the narrow component of the $H{\alpha}$ line is not prominent, consistent with the ionized gas kinematics of general type 1 AGN population.

Black hole (BH) mass is a fundamental quantity to understand BH growth, galaxy evolution, and connection between them. Thus, obtaining accurate and precise BH mass estimates over cosmic time is of paramount importance. The rest-frame UV CIV ${\lambda}1549$ broad emission line is commonly used for BH mass estimates in high-redshift AGNs (i.e., $2{\leq}z{\leq}5$) when single-epoch (SE) optical spectra are available. Achieving correct and accurate calibration for CIV-based SE BH mass estimators against the most reliable reverberation-mapping based BH mass estimates is thus practically important and still useful. By performing multi-component spectral decomposition analysis to obtained high-quality HST UV spectra for the updated sample of local reverberation-mapped AGNs including new HST STIS observations, CIV emission line widths and continuum luminosities are consistently measured. Using a Bayesian hierarchical model with MCMC sampling based on Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm (Stan NUTS), we provide the most consistent and accurate calibration of CIV-based BH mass estimators for the three line width characterizations, i.e., full width at half maximum (FWHM), line dispersion (${\sigma}_{line}$), and mean absolute deviation (MAD), in the extended BH mass dynamic range of log $M_{BH}/M_{\odot}=6.5-9.1$.
