Weibull distribution Iincluding Rayleigh and Exponential distribution is a typical model to estimate the effort distribution which is committed to the software testing phase. This model does not represent standpoint that many efforts are committed actually at the test beginning point. Moreover, it does not properly represent the various distribution form of actual test effort. To solve these problems, this paper proposes the Sigmoid model. The sigmoid function to be applicable in neural network transformed into the function which properly represents the test effort of software in the model. The model was verified to the six test effort data which were got from actual software projects which have various distribution form and verified the suitability. The Sigmoid model nay be selected by the alternative of Weibull model to estimate software test effort because it is superior than the Weibull model.

This paper investigated the vertical throughflow effects on natural convection due to heating from below in horizontal porous layer. The motion of the fluid in the porous layer is governed by Brinkman-Darcy equation. And compared Critical Rayleigh number in case of throughflow with no throughflow. Investigated Nusslet number, isothermalline and flow with the variation of the strength of throughflow in a constant Rayleigh number. In the numerical analysis, flow is assumed to be two-dimensional and unsteady. The numerical scheme used is a finite-difference method. In the experimental study, Temperature distribution was measured by use of Liquid Crystal film. As a results, indicated that throughflow influences largely on the temperature field and as the strength of throughflow increased, unstability of natural convection decreased. Also it could predict the strength of natural convection with the measured Nusselt number.

This paper studies the support region of an optimum (minimum mean-squre error) fixed-rate scalar quantizer for a Weibull source. The support region is defined to be the interval determined by the outermost thresholds of a quantizer and plays an important role in its performance, and hence it motivates this study. The paper reports the following specific results. First, approximation formulas are derived for the outermost thresholds of optimum scalar quantizers for a Weibull distributions. Second, in the case of Rayleigh and exponential distributions the derived approximation formulas are compared for the evaluation of their accuracy with the true values of optimum quantizers. Numerical results show that the formula for the leftmost threshold stays within 1% of the true value for 128 and 256 quantization points or more, for Rayleigh and exponential distribution, respectively, while that for the rightmost threshold does so for 512 and 32 quantization points or more. These formulas exhibit increased accuracy with the number of quantization points. In conclusion, the formulas have high accuracy. The contribution of the paper consists in the derivation of closed accurate formulas for the support of optimum.

A numerical analysis was carried out to study two-dimensional turbulent natural convection in a square enclosure containing fluid of Prandtl number 6.05 within internal energy sources. The square enclosure was bounded by four rigid planes of constant equal temperature. Inclination angles of 0, 15, 30 and 45 deg. from the horizon for Rayleigh numbers from 1 * 10$^{6}$ to 1 * 10$^{9}$ were studied. Local and average Nusselts numbers are obtained on all four walls. If inclination angle exists, the average Nusselt number appears in increasing order at bottom, left, right and top wall.

Intelligent vehicles are equipped with radar sensors for collision avoidance. We present a method of suppressing mutual interference among pulse-type radars, where all the radars are standardized. We developed a method of separating the true self-reflection from the false one by controlling the pulse emission of a radar in anorhogonal ON, OFF pattern. Interference signal identified in OFF-intervals is recorded to indicate the positions of the expected ghosts in ON-intervals. PFA and PM are derived for a radar system with I-Q demodulation scheme, where Gaussian noise alone is Rayleigh-distributed and Gaussian noise plus reflected radar pulse are Rician-distributed. The value of the threshold adaptively updated in order to prevent the deterioration of PM. In the experimental result, PFA decreases by an order of 10,000, when compared with the conventional M of N majority voting method.

Based on the typhoon paths landed on the southern coast of Korea, the distribution of typhoon moving directions follow the Beta probability density function and that of pressure drops in typhoon eyes follow the Rayleigh probability density function. Consequently, the extreme typhoon simulation scenarios for six landing positions are determined as most probable one in moving direction and extreme one of Typhoon Maemi level in pressure drop. The variation of storm surges in Masan bay associated with simulated typhoon landing position is analyzed through the numerical experiments in the next paper as the second part.

In coastal bay waters, bubbles are generated by relatively heavy ship-traffic, breaking waves due to man-made structures and biological activities. Therefore, the bubble-generating mechanism as well as the bubble density distribution in the bay are quite different from the open ocean where breaking waves are major contributor for bubble density distribution. High frequency surface-backscattered signals were obtained in the coastal bay waters and they were analyzed to compare with those from the open waters in terms of the sea-surface backscattering strength at various grazing angles, the reverberation characteristics in the sub-surface layer and spectral spreading of the scattered signals. The results show that, the surface scattered signals have an irregular distribution of amplitude in time and the width of the spectral spreading is wider than that of the open sea with rough surface. Furthermore, the amplitude distribution of the reverberation signals is not following the Rayleigh distribution, that is eon to be a typical pattern for the open ocean. The results of our analysis imply that the bubble size and the bubble density in the bay are quite different from those observed in the open waters.

The frequency dependency of the Rayleigh surface wave was investigated indirectly by measuring the angular dependency of the backward radiation of the incident ultrasonic wave in the abrasion specimens, which was explained in view of the residual stress distribution. The peak intensity of the backward radiation profile decreased and the right half width of the profile increased with an increase of the variational rate of residual stress for the scuffing specimen. The peak intensity was also affected by the surface wave scattering during the propagation around the micro-damages. The peak angle might depend on not only the amount of residual stress but also the micro-structure. The result observed in this study demonstrates the high potential of the backward radiated ultrasound as a tool for the nondestructive evaluation of the subsurface gradients of materials.

In this paper, the transmit power minimization for Poisson distributed wireless ad-hoc relay networks in Rayleigh fading channels is considered. We investigate two power allocation methods one is a minimum power allocation (MPA) strategy and the other is an equal outage power allocation (EOPA) strategy. We analyze the total transmit power of two allocation methods under the given end-to-end outage probability constraint. Our results show that the MPA achieves more power saving than EOPA, and the power saving is more significant as the number of relay nodes increases.

This paper presents the results of an elastic buckling analysis of orthotropic plate under in-plane linearly distributed forces. The analytical solution for the orthotropic plate whose boundaries were assumed to be simply supported was derived in the previous work. In this study the loaded edges of plate are assumed to be simply supported and other two edges are assumed to be fixed. For the buckling analysis Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed. Graphical form of results for finding the elastic buckling strength of orthotropic plate under in-plane linearly distributed forces is presented.
