This paper presents a stability analysis of AC-DC power system feeding a speed controlled DC motor in which this load behaves as a constant power load (CPL). A CPL can significantly degrade power system stability margin. Hence, the stability analysis is very important. The DQ and generalized state-space averaging methods are used to derive the mathematical model suitable for stability issues. The paper analyzes the stability of power systems for both speed control natural frequency and DC-link parameter variations and takes into account controlled speed motor dynamics. However, accurate DC-link filter and DC motor parameters are very important for the stability study of practical systems. According to the measurement errors and a large variation in a DC-link capacitor value, the system identification is needed to provide the accurate parameters. Therefore, the paper also presents the identification of system parameters using the adaptive Tabu search technique. The stability margins can be then predicted via the eigenvalue theorem with the resulting dynamic model. The intensive time-domain simulations and experimental results are used to support the theoretical results.

In this paper, a fast motion search algorithm that performs motion search for variable blocks in integer pixel unit is proposed. The proposed method is based on the successive elimination algorithm (SEA) using sum norms to find the best estimate of motion vector and obtains the best estimate of the motion vectors of blocks, including 16${\times}$8, 8${\times}$16, and 8${\times}$8, by searching eight pixels around the best motion vector of 16${\times}$16 block obtained from all candidates. And the motion vectors of blocks, including 8${\times}$4, 4${\times}$8, and 4${\times}$4, is obtained by searching eight pixels around the best motion vector of 8${\times}$8 block. The proposed motion search is applied to the H.264 encoder that performs variable blocks motion estimation (ME). In terms of computational complexity, the proposed search algorithm for motion estimation (ME) calculates motion vectors in about 23.8 times speed compared with the spiral full search without early termination and 4.6 times speed compared with the motion estimation method using hierarchical sum of absolute difference (SAD) of 4${\times}$4 blocks, while it shows 0.1dB∼0.4dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) drop in comparison to the spiral full search.

Background: In at-risk older adults, gait speed is an important factor associated with quality of life and falling risk. In this study, we assessed whether therapeutic exercise could improve gait speed. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the 'best' therapeutic exercise method by analyzing each exercise in terms of intensity, type, and several gait speed indices. For the analysis, we gathered 122 papers through a database search and selected 9 (n=627) that were appropriate for the meta-analysis. Results: In 8 of the 9 included papers, gait speed improved with therapeutic exercise. Usual gait speed (n=246) improved more than maximal gait speed (n=574). A resistance program was more effective than a nonresistance program for improving maximal, but not usual, gait speed. We also found that the effects of therapeutic exercise were greater in noncommunity than in community-dwelling elderly people. Conclusion: In conclusion, therapeutic exercise was effective in improving gait speed.

Recently, advances in speed of the CPU have for out-paced advances in memory speed. Main-memory access is increasingly a performance bottleneck for main-memory database systems. To reduce memory access speed, cache memory have incorporated in the memory subsystem. However cache memories can reduce the memory speed only when the requested data is found in the cache. We propose a new cache sensitive T-tree index structure called as $CST^*$-tree for range query search. The $CST^*$-tree reduces the number of cache miss occurrences by loading the reduced internal nodes that do not have index entries. And it supports the sequential access of index entries for range query by connecting adjacent terminal nodes and internal index nodes. For performance evaluation, we have developed a cost model, and compared our $CST^*$-tree with existing CST-tree, that is the conventional cache sensitive T-tree, and $T^*$-tree, that is conventional the range query search T -tree, by using the cost model. The results indicate that cache miss occurrence of $CST^*$-tree is decreased by 20~30% over that of CST-tree in a single value search, and it is decreased by 10~20% over that of $T^*$-tree in a range query search.

In this paper, an improvement of the EBP(error back propagation) learning speed using an acceleration algorithm is described. Using an acceleration algorithm known as the Partan method in the gradient search algorithm, learning speed is 25% faster than the original EBP algorithm in the simulaion results.

Feature-based similarity retrieval become an important research issue in image database systems. The features of image data are useful to discrimination of images. In this paper, we propose the high speed k-Nearest Neighbor search algorithm based on Self-Organizing Maps. Self-Organizing Maps(SOM) provides a mapping from high dimensional feature vectors onto a two-dimensional space and generates a topological feature map. A topological feature map preserves the mutual relations (similarities) in feature spaces of input data, and clusters mutually similar feature vectors in a neighboring nodes. Therefore each node of the topological feature map holds a node vector and similar images that is closest to each node vector. We implemented a k-NN search for similar image classification as to (1) access to topological feature map, and (2) apply to pruning strategy of high speed search. We experiment on the performance of our algorithm using color feature vectors extracted from images. Promising results have been obtained in experiments.

In this paper, we propose a fast block matching algorithm of motion estimation using early detection of optimal candidate with high priority and a threshold. Even though so many fast algorithms for motion estimation have been published to reduce computational reduction full search algorithm, still so many works to improve performance of motion estimation are being reported. The proposed algorithm calculates block matching error for each candidate with high priority from previous partial matching error. The proposed algorithm can be applied additionally to most of conventional fast block matching algorithms for more speed up. By doing that, we can find the minimum error point early and get speed up by reducing unnecessary computations of impossible candidates. The proposed algorithm uses smaller computation than conventional fast full search algorithms with the same prediction quality as the full search algorithm. Experimental results shows that the proposed algorithm reduces 30~70% compared with the computation of the PDE and full search algorithms without any degradation of prediction quality and further reduces it with other fast lossy algorithms.

Wireless LAN is a rather mature communication technology that connects mobile terminals. A typical wireless LAN system is composed of one AP and more than one terminals, which is called a BSS. Terminals near to an AP can receive high rate data but terminals far from an AP may not receive data with guaranteed high speed rate because received signal strength is weakened. This paper proposes a method to allow high speed data transmission by grouping terminals and using part of wireless terminals as repeaters. We compare and analyze proposed grouping algorithms based on Depth First Search and Breadth First Search via simulations. A grouping algorithm based on Breadth First Search is shown to be more effective in term of efficiency and coverage.

Recently, the issue of ship nitration due to the large scale, high speed and lightweight of ship is emerging. For pleasantness in the cabin, shipbuilders are asked for strict vibration criteria and the degree of nitration level at a deckhouse became an important condition for taking order from customers. This study proposes a new optimization framework that is NASTRAN external call type optimization method (OptShip) and applies to an optimum design to decrease the nitration level of a deckhouse. The merits of this method are capable of using of global searching method and selecting of various objective function and design variables. The global optimization algorithms used here are random tabu search method which has fast converging speed and searches various size domains and genetic algorithm which searches multi-point solutions and has a good search capability in a complex space. By adapting OptShip to full-scale model, the validity of the suggested method was investigated.
