The purpose of this study is to examine hospital noise level and discomfort due to noise. The subjects were 156 patients from University hospital in Taegu. The data was collected from April 10 to May 14, 1997. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program using percentage, paired t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results were as follows ; The mean score of noise level was 1.62. There was no statistically significant difference in noise level between day and night. Patients perceived higher noise in the categories of conversation of visitors, conversation of care providers, noise of air conditioners, and the conversation of nearby patients than others during the day. Patients perceived higher noise in the categories of noise of air conditioners, conversation of visitors, conversation of care providers, and telephone ringing than others during the night. There were no statistically significant differences in noise level among the 4 wards during the day or night. Discomfort was due to the forementioned noise, categories of high scores were sleep disturbed, irritated, not so bad or not noisy, and noisy. To avoid noise, the subjects coped by putting on a quilt, going out, sleeping, opening or closing the window or door, and plugging ears. These results indicated that hospital noise have a negative influence on patients' health. So noise levels should be reduced in hospitals.

This descriptive-correlational study was conducted to exam if there were relation between noise level and reaction to noise of inpatient. The purpose of this study was to provide a basic data for comfort of patient hospitalized. The hypotheses of the study are : 1. The higher perceived noise level of inpatient, the higher reaction level to noise. 2. The higher perceived noise level of inpatient, physiological reaction level to noise. 3. The higher perceived noise level of inpatient, the higher emotional reaction level to noise. The participant were 153 patients hospitalized in one general hospital. The research instruments used for this study were noise scale and reaction of patient scale developed by the author. Data was collected over a period of 10 days from the 9th of July to the 18th of July, 1994. Statistical analysis of the data included percentage, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe test. Examination of the hypotheses was done by use of pearson correlation coefficient. The results are summarized as follows ; 1. The mean score of noise level was 2.24. Among noise factors reported by the subjects, that which ranked highest was 'Conversation of Visitors'(2.82). Next were 'noise of handling receptacle'(2.73), 'the others noise from outside'(2.73) and 'Conversation of supporter'(2.71). 2. The mean score of reaction level to noise was 2.19, physiological reaction level 2.04 and emotional reaction level 2.37. Among Physiological reaction to noise reported by the subjects, that which ranked highest was 'tired'(2.39). Next were 'sweating'(2.22) and 'headache'(2.20).

This article describes optimization for PGS(Patterned Ground Shield) of rectangular spiral inductor using Taguchi's Design of Experiment. PGS is decrease method of parasite component by silicon substrate among dielectric loss reduction method. Using taguchi's design of experiment, each parameter is fixed upon that PGS high poison(A), slot spacing(B), strip width(C) and overlap turn number(D) of PGS design parameter. Then we verified that percentage contribution and design sensitivity analysis of each parameter and level by signal to noise ratio of larger-the-better type. We consider percentage contribution and design sensitivity of each parameter and level, and then verify that model of optimization for PGS is lower inductance decreasing ratio and higher Q-factor increasing ratio by EM simulation.

Relationship between exposure to combined noise sources and community annoyance have been investigated. Social surveys were conducted in urban spaces near the construction site with road traffics. The question relating to noise annoyance was answered on an 11-point numerical scale and 5-point verbal scale according to ISO 15666. The questionnaire also contained demographic factors, interference with daily activities, health-related symptoms, and noise sensitivity. Noise levels were measured in terms of A-weighted equivalent level ($L_{Aeq}$), and noise mapping technique was applied to predict the noise levels of urban spaces. Synthesis curves for the relationship between noise levels and percentage highly annoyed for combined noise sources were derived, and compared to the curves from a single noise source.

This study investigated the effects of the types of noise and signal to noise ratios (SNRs) on speech intelligibility of an adult with dysartrhia. Speech intelligibility was judged by 48 naive listeners using a word transcription task. Repeated measures design was used with the types of noise (multi-talker babble/environmental noise) and SNRs (0, +10 dB, +20 dB) as within-subject factors. The dependent measure was the percentage of correctly transcribed words. Results revealed that two main effects were statistically significant. Listeners performed significantly worse in the multi-talker babble condition than the environmental noise condition, and they performed significantly better at higher levels of SNRs. The current results suggested that the multi-talker babble and lower level of SNRs decreased the speech intelligibility of adults with dysarthria, and speech-language pathologists should consider environmental factors such as the types of noise and SNRs in evaluating speech intelligibility of adults with dysarthria.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 접어들어 데이터 기반의 의사결정이 보편화되고 있다. 하지만 데이터 품질이 확보되지 않은 채 수행되는 데이터 분석은 왜곡된 결과를 낳을 가능성이 존재한다. 수자원 관리의 기초가 되는 수위 데이터도 마찬가지로 결측, 스파이크, 잡음 등 다양한 품질 문제를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 잡음으로 인해 발생하는 데이터 품질 문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 잡음은 데이터의 트렌드 분석을 어렵게 하고 비정상적인 이상치를 생성할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Wavelet Transform을 이용한 잡음 제거 접근 방안을 제안한다. Wavelet Transform은 신호처리에 주로 사용되는 방법으로 잡음 제거에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으며 수집된 데이터의 정답 데이터(True value) 수집을 요구하지 않으므로 시간과 비용을 줄일 수 있다는 점에서 적용이 용이한 편이다. 본 연구는 Wavelet Transform의 성능 평가를 위해 대표적인 머신러닝 기반 잡음 제거 방법인 Denoising Autoencoder와 성능 비교를 수행하였다. 그 결과 Wavelet Transform 중 Coiflets 함수는, Denoising Autoencoder에 비해 Mean Absolute Error, Mean Absolute Percentage Error, Mean Squared Error 등 모든 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 환경에 맞는 적절한 웨이블릿 함수의 선택을 통한 잡음 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구는 수위 데이터의 품질을 향상시켜 수자원 관리 결정의 신뢰성에 기여하는 강력한 도구로서 Wavelet Transform의 잠재력을 확인한 의의가 있다.

This study purpose to establish an appropriate target exposure index(EIT) using dose area product(DAP) and exposure index(EI) based on chest radiography. First, the system response experiment was conducted with radiation quality of RQA5 to compare the dosimetry and dose area product of equipment. Next, EI and DAP were acquired and analyzed while varying the dose in the diagnostic at 70kVp using a human body model phantom. The signal to noise ratio(SNR) of the obtained results was analyzed in the diagnostic with in the diagnostic reference level(DRL) application range. The DRL at percentage 25% had a dose of 0.17 mGy and EI was 83, and at percentage 75% the dose was 0.68 mGy and EI was 344. As the dose increased, the SNR in the subdiaphragm increased. To set the EIT, calibration must first be performed using a dosimeter and set within the DRL range to reflect the needs of the medical institution.

PURPOSES : The methods of measuring the sound from the noise source are Pass-by method and NCPX (Noble Close Proximity) method. These measuring methods were used to determine the linkage of TAPL (Total Acoustic Pressure Level) and SPL (Sound Pressure Level) in terms of frequencies. METHODS : The frequency analysis methods are DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) and FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), CPB (Constant Percentage Bandwidth). The CPB analysis was used in this study, based on the 1/3 octave band option configured for the frequency analysis. Furthermore, the regression analysis was used at the condition related to the sound attenuation effect. The MPE (Mean Percentage Error) and RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) were utilized for calculating the error. RESULTS : From the results of the CPB frequency analysis, the predicted SPL along the frequency has 99.1% maximum precision with the measured SPL, resulting in roughly 1 dB(A) error. The TAPL results have precision by 99.37% with the measured TAPL. The predicted TAPL results at this study by using the SPL prediction model along the frequency have the maximum precision of 98.37% with the vehicle velocity. CONCLUSIONS : The Predicted SPL model along the frequency and the TAPL result by using the predicted SPL model have a high level of accuracy through this study. But the vehicle velocity-TAPL prediction model from the previous study by using the log regression analysis cannot be consistent with the TAPL result by using the predicted SPL model.

PGS is decrease method of parasite component by silicon substrate among dielectric loss reduction method. By using the taguchi's method, each parameter is fixed upon that PGS high poison(A), slot spacing(B), strip width(C) and overlap turn number(D) of PGS design parameter. Then we verified that percentage contribution and design sensitivity analysis of each parameter and level by signal to noise ratio of larger-the-better type. We consider percentage contribution and design sensitivity of each parameter and level, and then verify that model of optimization for PGS is lower inductance decreasing ratio and higher Q-factor increasing ratio by EM simulation.
