This paper proposes a method of underwater source localization using the wideband interference patterns matching. By matching two interference patterns in the spectrogram, it is estimated a ratio of the range from source to sensor5, and then this ratio is applied to the Apollonius circle. The Apollonius circle is defined as the locus of all points whose distances from two fixed points are in a constant value so that it is possible to represent the locus of potential source location. The Apollonius circle alone, however still keeps the ambiguity against the correct source location. Therefore another equation is necessary to estimate the unique locus of the source location. By estimating time differences of signal arrivals between source and sensors, the hyperbola equation is used to get the cross point of the two equations, where the point being assumed to be the source position. Simulations are performed to get performances of the proposed algorithm. Also, comparisons with real sea experiment data are made to prove applicability of the algorithm in real environment. The results show that the proposed algorithm successfully estimates the source position within an error bound of 10%.

뇌전위 측정에 의해 흥분 뉴런군의 위치를 추정하는 source localization problem은 Evoked Potential 해석법에 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 이번 논문에서는 EEG실험에서의 전극 배치가 S/N(signal to noise ratio)과 추정 오차 사이에 어떤 영향을 미치는 가를 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션으로 조사하였다. 머리 모델은 3중 구각 모델을 사용하였고 이론 이용하여 forward problem을 계산하였다. 쌍극자 파라미터를 minimization 하는 문제는 simplex method를 이용하여 계산하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과, 특이한 점은 전극의 밀도와 입체각에 의해 쌍자 파라미터 오차가 변화했다는 사실이다. 이것은 곧바로 전극 배치와 연관이 된다. 실제 EEG 실험에서 전극 배치를 어떻게 했는가에 따라 그에 따른 오차가 변화한다. 이러한 오차의 원인을 제거하기 위해서 새로운 전극 배치를 모델링하여 기존의 전극 배치와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 전극 밀도와 입체각에 대한 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있었다.

The source of nitric oxide (NO) in plants is unclear and it has been reported NO can be produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) like enzymes and by nitrate reductase (NR). Here we used wild-type, Atnos1 mutant and nia1, nia2 NR-deficient mutant plants of Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate the potential source of NO production in response to Verticillium dahliae toxins (VD-toxins). The results revealed that NO production is much higher in wild-type and Atnos1 mutant than in nia1, nia2 NR-deficient mutants. The NR inhibitor had a significant effect on VD-toxins-induced NO production; whereas NOS inhibitor had a slight effect. NR activity was significantly implicated in NO production. The results indicated that as NO was induced in response to VD-toxins in Arabidopsis, the major source was the NR pathway. The production of NOS-system appeared to be secondary.

Using sulfur sotope analysis of dissolved sulfate in surface water, we have investigated the source of sulfate in order to identify the abandoned metallic mines, which have the potential of heavy metal contamination within watershed. The range of the sulfur isotope values for dissolved sulfate in stream waters (DD-1 and 2) are similar to those of sulfides from the Dunjun mine, which suggests that oxidation of sulfides is the principal source of $SO_4^{2-}$ in these stream waters. Also, heavier sulfur isotopes in waters near Baekjun and Hamchang mines imply the possibility of contamination in waters by these metallic mines.

Twenty four metal, nonmetal elements and 4 major anions in total suspended particulates (TSP) collected at two sites in Daejon city from october to december in 1991 by a Hi-vol sampler were thoroughly analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma/ Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP/AES) and Ion Chromatography (IC). These analyzed data were used to perform a receptor modeling using the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) for the source apportionment of TSP sample. Approximately 60% TSP weight in industrial complex area was influenced by potential industrial sources and 25% was by heating fuels and automobile emissions, whereas a half of TSP in residential area was influenced by surrounding environment and more than 35% of TSP was influenced by heating fuels. The CMB model provided source apportionment results reasonably and scientifically with a minor limitation.

It is shown that irregular frequencies in the source and doublet distribution method, can be eliminated if the Green function associated with Kelvin's source of pulsating strength, is modified only in the region inside the body at the level of the undisturbed free surface. The system of the resulting Green integral equation is augmented without loss of the square-integrable property of its kernel so hat the discretisation yield N linearly independent equations for N unknown variables. From the solution, the potential and velocity at any point on the wetted surface of a surface-piercing body can be found using the properties of the double layer composed of the source and normal doublet distribution.

Security of radioactive sources has been an issue since the earliest days of safety regulation of such materials. Since the events of September 11 2001, some governments and regulatory bodies have been much more focussed on these issues and have introduced extensive and enhanced security arrangements. International organisations like the IAEA and WINS have worked hard to help States in this regard. However, only a minority of States have implemented statutory security systems for radioactive source security. Why have so many States still to take action? What can be done to encourage and support these changes? This paper will offer some possible explanations for the lack of action in so many States and some potential answers to these questions.

This paper considers the physical layer security problem for a two-way vehicle-to-vehicle network, where the two source vehicles can only exchange information through an untrusted relay vehicle. The relay vehicle helps the two-way transmission but also acts as a potential eavesdropper. Each vehicle has a random velocity. By exploiting the random carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) caused by random motions, a secure double-differential two-way relay scheme is proposed. While achieving successful two-way transmission for the source vehicles, the proposed scheme guarantees a high decoding error floor at the untrusted relay vehicle. Average symbol error rate (SER) performance for the source vehicles and the untrusted relay vehicle is analyzed. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed scheme.

In this paper, voltage source FEA considering magnetic hysteresis characteristics is presented. Magnetization dependent model is used as a hysteresis model. The unknowns in finite element equation are the magnetic vector potential and current. Core model is analyzed and current waveform is compared with the experimental one. It is found that current can be accurately predicted with the voltage variation.

Wire Ion Plasma Source (WIPS) is a plasma device which has a thin wire anode, a coaxially-set cylindrical cathode and electrodes located in both ends of the cylinder. The potential between the anode and cathode changes logarithmically by this electrode configuration. This electrode configuration enables high-density plasma to produce even at a low anode voltage. Since the electrode configuration is axially symmetric and long. plasma with axially uniform number density can be produced. Using particle-in-cell(PIC) and Monte Carlo collision(MCC), we investigate the traiectory of electrons and the characteristics of D.C. discharge in Wire ton Plasma Source.
