The structure of the human ear is divided into the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The inner ear includes the cochlea that plays a very important role in hearing. Recently, the development of an artificial cochlear device for the hearing impaired with cochlear damage has been actively researched. Research has been carried out on the biomimetic piezoelectric thin film ABM (Artificial Basilar Membrane) in particular. In an effort to improve the frequency separation performance of the existing piezoelectric thin film ABM, this paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of the production and performance of a partially etched-type ABM material. $O_2$ plasma etching equipment was used to partially etch a piezoelectric thin film ABM to make it more flexible. The mechanical-behavior characterization of the manufactured partially etched-type ABM showed that the overall separation frequency range shifted to a lower frequency range more suitable for audible frequency bandwidths and it displayed an improved frequency separation performance. In addition, the maximum magnitude of the vibration displacement at the first local resonant frequency was enhanced by three times from 38 nm to 112 nm. It is expected that the newly designed, partially etched-type ABM will improve the issue of cross-talk between nearby electrodes and that the manufactured partially etched-type ABM will be utilized for next-generation ABM research.

This study was compared to the differences in the habitat, species composition and community structure of revegetation and nature area in Korea. Plant number in plot of revegetation and nature area was 10.3 and 15.0 taxa, respectively, and coverage was 90.6 and 88.1%, respectively. Revegetation and nature area was very heterogeneous, due to low similarity index (0.38) and less common plants. Festuca arundinacea frequency (56.7%) was highest in revegetation area, and Oplismenus undulatifolius frequency (66.7%) was highest in nature area. Plant appearing of revegetation and nature area was 111 and 136 taxa, respectively. Herb appearing of revegetation and nature areas was 93 (83.3%) and 72 (52.9%) taxa, respectively, tree was 18 (16.2%) and 64 (47.1%) taxa, respectively. Plant communities of revegetation area was classified into Lespedeza bicolor, Indigofera amblyantha, Alnus sibirica, Festuca arundinacea, Eragrostis curvula, Miscanthus sinensis, Humulus japonicus, Setaria faberii, Rudbeckia bicolor, Pueraria lobata community. Plant communities of nature area was classified into Pinus densiflora, Quercus aliena, Quercus acutissima, Quercus variabilis, Quercus serrata, Castanea crenata, Pinus rigida, Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus tomentiglandulosa, Phyllostachys bambusoides community. Habitat, species composition and community structure of revegetation and nature area showed a large difference.

This paper proposes new method for the enhancement of nonexistent high frequency spectral contents from low sample rate audio signal. For example, Due to the protocol constraint, the audio bandwidth of MP3 is restricted to 16Khz. Although band-restricted MP3 audio provide savings of storage space and network bandwidth, it suffers a major problem of a loss in high frequency fidelity such as localization, ambient information, and bright nature of audio. This paper provides a new mathematical analysis for the adaptive estimation of the high frequency contents based on the nature of the input low sample rate audio. Proposed method can be worked globally to any kind of audio such as speech and music that are restricted by sampling rate and bandwidth.

청각기관인 달팽이관에 존재하는 기저막의 중요한 기능은 등자뼈로부터 전달되는 진동에너지를 주파수별로 분리하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인간 기저막의 형상을 모사하여 설계한 매크로 스케일의 폴리머 박막을 사용하여 주파수 분리 특성을 연구하였다. 각각의 폴리머 박막상의 위치에 따른 변위 분포는 LDV (laser Doppler vibrometer) 스캐닝 기법을 이용하여 측정하였고, 측정된 결과는 후처리 과정을 거쳐 주파수별로 분리하였다. 인가된 주파수에 따른 최대 변위 발생 위치를 추출하여 각 박막에 대한 주파수-최대 변위 발생 위치 관계를 도식화하였다. 아울러 박막 두께 및 물성치가 주파수-최대 변위 발생 위치 관계에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 논하였다.

In this study, we fabricated and evaluated the performance of film speaker using PVDF/ZnO NP composite structure. PVDF piezoelectric films were fabricated and characterized by XRD and SEM. ZnO nanopillars were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis on prepared PVDF piezoelectric films. We analyzed and tested the acoustic signal characteristics of the piezoelectric film. In order to fabricate an acoustic structure with a wide frequency range from low to high frequency, we have fabricated various types of film speakers and investigated the frequency characteristics. As a result, the fundamental piezoelectric properties of PVDF show that the piezoelectric constant due to ZnO NP increases. And the overall acoustic signal level is also increased by 10% or more. We investigated frequency generation from 500 Hz to 10 KHz using different sizes with PVDF/ZnO NP composite film speaker.

In this study, examined heavy-weight floor impact sound to rahmen structure(steel reinforced concrete structure) and bearing-wall structure(box frame type structure) that have slab thickness of 4 form at a standard laboratory through noise and vibration measured. The results of ANSYS modeling of structures was predicted that the nature natural frequency increased according to change of thickness of each slab by finite element analysis, and acceleration value decreased. Rahmen structures compares with bearing-wall structure, nature frequency was predicted low. Measurement results of natural frequency and acceleration level for structures at a standard laboratory, tendency department such as ANSYS modeling appeared. Rahmen structures appeared that reduction effect is less in Acceleration level and heavy impact sound transmission level comparing with bearing-wall structure.

In this paper, we deal with three types of modelling method for the analysis of galloping in power transmission line (PTL). The single mass model is obtained under linearization method and it is applied into f-order model. On these models, the nature frequencies of PTL are obtained and it makes an effects on the galloping directly. In simulation, we verify that the maximum magnitude of nature frequency depends on the galloping distance of PTL. Also from the analysis of frequency response, a few of reduction method for galloping are introduced which is effected by distance of PTL, wind velocity and icing types.

현대 사회에서는 세계 인구의 대부분이 도시에 몰려 있기 때문에, 도심의 소리는 중요한 의미를 가진다. 그 중 교통음은 가장 대표적인 도심소리 중에 하나이다. 일반적으로 도심 교통음은 환경소음으로, 대표적인 자연의 소리인 숲, 폭포소리등은 사람에게 긍정적인 효과를 주는 소리로 분류한다. 본 연구에서는 자연의 소리가 포함하는 백색잡음에 다양한 형태의 FFT보정 필터를 적용시켜, 사람이 가장 선호하는 형태의 백색잡음 주파수 특성을 발견하고 자연 소리와의 상관관계를 확인하였다. 그리고 여러 형태의 도심 교통음과 숲소리의 파형, 스펙트럼 비교를 통한 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과 도심 교통음이 숲소리에 비해 특정 주파수대역과 시점에 집중된 소리 에너지 특징이 있음을 발견하였으며, 이러한 특징이 사람에게 미칠 수 있는 부정적인 요소들을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 전극법 뇌파 실험을 통하여, 도심 교통음과 자연의 숲, 폭포소리를 직접 피실험자들에게 들려주어, 알파파와 베타파의 에너지 분포를 측정하였다. 측정결과 도심 교통음은 자연의 소리보다 현저하게 많은 양의 베타파를 발생 시켰으며, 반대로 자연의 소리는 많은 양의 알파파를 발생 시켰다. 이러한 결과를 통해 도심 교통음이 사람에게 미치는 부정적인 영향과 자연 소리의 긍정적인 영향을 직접적으로 확인하였다.

Purpose - Online product review has become a crucial part of the online retailer's market performance for a wide range of products. This research aims to investigate how an individual reviewer's review frequency and timing affect her/his average attitude toward products. Research design, data, and methodology - To conduct reviewer-level analysis, this study uses 42,172 posted online review messages generated by 6,941 identified reviewers for 59 movies released in the South Korea from July 2015 to December 2015. This study adopts Tobit model specification to take into account the censored nature and the selection bias arising from the nature of J-shaped distribution of movie rating. Results - Our estimation results support that the negative impact of review frequency and timing on valence. Furthermore, review timing has an inverted-U relationship with the user's average valence and enhance the negative effect of review frequency. Conclusions - This study contributes to the growing literature on the understanding how eWOM is generated at the individual consumer level. On the basis of the main empirical findings, this study provides insights into building a recommendation system in online retail store based on the consumer's review history data - frequency, timing, and valence.
