Purpose : This study was performed to determine the optimal tile size for the fractal dimension of the mandibular trabecular bone using a tile counting method. Materials and Methods : Digital intraoral radiographic images were obtained at the mandibular angle, molar, premolar, and incisor regions of 29 human dry mandibles. After preprocessing, the parameters representing morphometric characteristics of the trabecular bone were calculated. The fractal dimensions of the processed images were analyzed in various tile sizes by the tile counting method. Results : The optimal range of tile size was 0.132 mm to 0.396 mm for the fractal dimension using the tile counting method. The sizes were closely related to the morphometric parameters. Conclusion : The fractal dimension of mandibular trabecular bone, as calculated with the tile counting method, can be best characterized with a range of tile sizes from 0.132 to 0.396 mm.

일반적인 음성인식 방법에서는 주파수 전대역에서 추출한 특징벡터를 사용하므로, 각 주파수 부대역은 최종인식 결과에 동등하게 기여한다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 부대역별로 독립적인 특징을 추출하고, 음성인식에 효과적이 되도록 부대역의 켑스트럼 해상도를 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 주파수 부대역별로 독립적인 특징을 추출하는 멀티밴드 음성인식접근을 사용하여 부대역 특징벡터의 차원을 변화시킨다. 최적의 벡터 차원 조합을 찾기 위하여 음성인식률과 군집화 품질을 사용한다. TIDIGITS 연결 숫자음을 사용한 실험결과에서, 제안한 방법은 전대역 특징추출에 비해 적은 계산량으로도 숫자열 인식률은 99.12%, 백분율 정확도 (percent correct)는 99.775%, 백분율 정밀도 (percent accuracy)는 99.705%를 얻었으며, 이는 전대역 특징벡터에 비해 상대적 오류율을 각각 38%, 32%, 37% 감소시킨 결과이다.

본 연구는 가능교통량과 가상주행을 통한 최적후보 노선선정에 군을 선정한 다음 최적 노선 선정에 관한 연구이다. 노선선정은 예비타당성조사, 기본 및 실시설계단계 등을 충분히 검토한 다음 도로를 설계하게 된다. 다양해진 도로이용자의 요구사항은 도로설계를 할 때부터 반영되어야 하나 기존방법은 2차원적인 지형요소를 고려하기 때문에 불규칙한 지형에 대한 적정 설계기준을 포함하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 후보노선을 선정을 위해 가상교통량분석과 주행을 실시하였다. 3차원 자료구축 구조물의 가상도로주행에서 모의관측으로 경관 및 지형 분석을 실시하여 최적노선을 선정하였다. 가상교통량과 3차원 모의관측기법을 통하여 도로건설 후에 미치는 자연환경과 조화되는 경관분석이 가능하고 조망권 차단 등 지역주민들과 마찰이 예상되는 부분에서 객관적인 해석이 가능하였다.

The optimal design and combustion analysis of the gas generator for Liquid Rocket Engine (LRE) were performed. A fuel-rich gas generator in open cycle turbopump system was designed for 10ton$_{f}$ in thrust with RP-1/Lox propellant. The optimal design was done for maximizing specific impulse of main combustion chamber with constraints of combustion temperature and power matching required by turbopump system. Design variables were selected as total mass flow rate to gas generator, O/F ratio in gas generator, turbine injection angle, partial admission ratio, and turbine rotational speed. Results of optimal design show the dimension of length, diameter, and contraction ratio of gas generator. Also, the combustion test was conducted to evaluate the performance of injector and combustion chamber. And the effect of the turbulence ring was investigated on the mixing enhancement in the chamber.r.

In this study, a problem formulation and solution for design optimization of laminate composite cylindrical beam section is presented. The objective of this research is to determine the optimal dimension of the laminated composite cylindrical beam sections which has the equivalent flexural rigidities to those of the steel cylindrical beam sections. The analytical model is based on the laminate theory and accounts for the material coupling for arbitrary laminate stacking sequence configuration. The outer diameter and thickness of the beam are design variables. The solutions described are found using a global search algorithm, Genetic Algorithms (GA).

A successful design approach for noise barriers should be multidisciplinary because noise reduction goals influence both acoustical and non-acoustical considerations, such as maintenance, safety, physical construction, cost, and visual impact. These various barrier design options are closely related with barrier dimensions. In this study, we have proposed an optimal design method of straight noise barriers using genetic algorithm, providing a barrier having the smallest dimension and achieving the specified noise reduction at a receiver region exposed to the industry and traffic noise, to help a successful barrier design.

This paper shows the optimal bidding strategy determination method using Nash equilibrium concept by defining bidding strategy vector. This vector is 2-dimension vector whose components are generation amount and generation cost. Thereby we are able to make all possible strategies and their's payoff table. And then we erase dominated strategies one by one so that we obtain Nash equilibrium, the optimal bidding strategy of generation bidding game.

Purpose : To evaluate the effect of exposure time and image resolution on fractal dimension calculations for determining the optimal range of these two variances. Materials and Methods : Thirty-one radiographs of the mandibular angle area of sixteen human dry mandibles were taken at different exposure times (0.01, 0.08, 0.16, 0.25, 0.40, 0.64, and 0.80 s). Each radiograph was digitized at 1200 dpi, 8 bit, 256 gray level using a film scanner. We selected an Region of Interest (ROI) that corresponded to the same region as in each radiograph, but the resolution of ROI was degraded to 1000, 800, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100 dpi. The fractal dimension was calculated by using the tile-counting method for each image, and the calculated values were then compared statistically. Results: As the exposure time and the image resolution increased, the mean value of the fractal dimension decreased, except the case where exposure time was set at 0.01 seconds (α = 0.05). The exposure time and image resolution affected the fractal dimension by interaction (p<0.001). When the exposure time was set to either 0.64 seconds or 0.80 seconds, the resulting fractal dimensions were lower, irrespective of image resolution, than at shorter exposure times (α = 0.05). The optimal range for exposure time and resolution was determined to be 0.08- 0.40 seconds and from 400-1000 dpi, respectively. Conclusion : Adequate exposure time and image resolution is essential for acquiring the fractal dimension using tile-counting method for evaluation of the mandible.

In order to reduce the cost of product and save the processing time, optimal nesting of two-dimensional part is an important application in number of industries like shipbuilding and garment making. There have been many studies on finding the optimal solution of two-dimensional nesting. The problem of two-dimensional nesting has a non-deterministic characteristic and there have been various attempts to solve the problem by reducing the size of problem rather than solving the problem as a whole. Heuristic method and linearlization are often used to find an optimal solution of the problem. In this paper, theoretical and practical nesting algorithm for rectangular, circular and irregular shape of two-dimensional parts is proposed. Both No-Fit-Polygon and Minkowski-Sum are used for solving the overlapping problem of two parts and the dynamic programming technique is used for reducing the number search spae in order to find an optimal solution. Also, nesting designer's expertise is complied into the proposed algorithm to supplement the heuristic method.

In a levitation magnet system with large air gap, numerical method is needed because analytic method cannot consider the leakage flux properly. This paper conducted an optimal design of a levitation magnet system with large air gap which was used for an OLED system, where evolution strategy was adopted for optimal design algorithm. Levitation forces near the initial design were calculated first by using finite element method to reduce the computation time. During the optimization process, levitation forces of arbitrary dimension were obtained using the interpolation of the levitation forces which were calculated previously Weight of the maget system was chosen as the object function and it was used minimized.
