For the location estimation in the conventional LPMS(Loose Parts Monitoring System), it is popular to employ a group delay among the acoustic sensors installed within a 3 ft range from the impact source. However, there exists inherent error in determining the arrival time differences of the generated wave group among the neighboring sensors. To overcome this problem in this study, the two dimensional approach has been proposed and applied to effectively estimate the arrival time differences by using a continuous wavelet transform which is one of the linear time-frequency analysis methods. The experiment has been performed to both the plate model and the real steam generator in a nuclear power plant. It is expected that the reliability of the location estimation could be enhanced when the proposed time-frequency method is introduced into the LPMS system.

비점오염원 관리를 위한 독립호우의 결정은 월류수 처리시설의 설계에서 필수적이다. 비점오염원의 관리를 위해서는 총량을 결정해야만 하는데 이를 위해서는 결정된 독립호우에 의해 1회 평균강우량, 평균강우강도, 평균지속시간 등의 강우특성의 분석이 실시되어야만 한다. 독립호우의 결정은 무강우 지속시간의 산정(Interevent Time Definition, IETD)에 따라 분리할 수 있으며 이를 결정하기 위한 기존의 분석방법에는 자기상관 분석, 변동계수 분석, 연강우 평균발생횟수 분석 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 IETD 분석방법에 따라 무강우시간을 산정한 후 방법별 문제점을 고찰하고 새로운 IETD 결정방법으로 지수함수 검정방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 검정방법을 통하여 결과값의 적절성을 검토하였다.

The performance of water-to-water heat pump system coupled with the ground source vertical heat exchanger is presented in this paper. The CAP program of Florida Heat Pump Co. is used to predict the heat pump performances while the EED program calculates the borehole fluid temperature. It is shown that COPH increases with decreasing the temperature of output water for the operation of heating mode and COPR increases with increasing temperature of output water for the operation of cooling mode. The value of specific heat extraction rate must be moderate to insure the reasonable installation cost of borehole system. With $1^{\circ}C$decrease of $T_{wo}$ the average COPH increase is estimated as about $0.06/^{\circ}C$(for $T_{wo}\;=\;45{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ range) while with $1^{\circ}C$ increase of $T_{wo}$ the estimation of COPR increase is about $0.13/^{\circ}C$(for $T_{wo}\;= \;5{\sim}11^{\circ}C$ range) at the specific heat extraction rate of 30W/m.

ISCLT3 model was applied in Seoul metropolitan area to investigate the source-receptor relationships among 17 cities in the Kyonggi Province. For the purpose of the model simulation, emission rates of NO$_2$, SOx, and PM(sub)10 were prepared for grid scale with 1$\times$1 km, and receptors were located on every 2$\times$2 km grid. Meterological data for the last 10 years(88~97) were used as input data. According to our study, NO$_2$ concentration of the cities ranged from 10 to 45 ppb with the highest value appearing from Puchon city. The concentrations of SOx and PM(sub)10 concentrations fell in the range of 5~20 ppb and 20~70$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. It was also found out that air quality in one city can be affected greatly by the air pollutants originating from other cities.

Leak noise is a good source to identify the exact location of a leak point of underground water pipelines. Water leak generates broadband noise from a leak location and can be propagated to both directions of water pipes. This sound propagation due to leak in water pipelines is not a non-dispersive wave any more because of the surrounding pipes and soil. However, the necessity of long-range detection of this leak location makes to identify low-frequency acoustic waves rather than high frequency ones. Acoustic wave propagation coupled with surrounding boundaries including cast iron pipes is theoretically analyzed and the wave velocity was confirmed with experiment. The leak locations were identified both by the acoustic emission (AE) method and the cross-correlation method. In a short-range distance, both the AE method and cross-correlation method are effective to detect leak position. However, the detection for a long-range distance required a lower frequency range accelerometers only because higher frequency waves were attenuated very quickly with the increase of propagation paths. Two algorithms for the cross-correlation function were suggested, and a long-range detection has been achieved at real underground water pipelines longer than loom.

In this paper we proposed an unsupervised algorithm to estimate the reverberation time (RT) directly from the reverberant speech signal. For estimation process we use maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) which is a very well-known and state of the art method for estimation in the field of signal processing. All existing RT estimation methods are based on the decay rate distribution. The decay rate can be obtained either from the energy envelop decay curve analysis of noise source when it is switch off or from decay curve of impulse response of an enclosure. The analysis of a pre-existing method of reverberation time estimation is the foundation of the proposed method. In one of the state of the art method, the reverberation decay is modeled as a Laplacian distribution. In this paper, the proposed method models the reverberation decay as a Gamma distribution along with the unification of an effective technique for spotting free decay in reverberant speech. Maximum likelihood estimation technique is then used to estimate the RT from the free decays. The method was motivated by our observation that the RT of a reverberant signal when falls in specific range, then the decay rate of the signal follows Gamma distribution. Experiments are carried out on different reverberant speech signal to measure the accuracy of the suggested method. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method performs better and the accuracy is high in comparison to the state of the art method.

본 연구에서는 CPSP (Cross Power Spectrum Phase) 함수를 이용한 프레임 기반의 TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) 추정시 나타나는 문제점들을 분석하고 연구하였다. 구형 윈도우함수를 이용해서 음성신호의 프레임을 추출할 때 나타나는 스펙트럼 누설현상은 CPSP 스펙트럼의 추정을 부정확하게 한다. 또한 스펙트럼 누설을 줄이기 위하여 구형이 아닌 다른 윈도우함수를 사용하여 프레임을 추출하면 프레임의 끝부분에서 발생하는 윈도우함수 가중치의 불일치 때문에 신호를 왜곡시킨다. 이 문제점들은 CPSP 기반의 TDOA 추정성능을 감소시킨다. 본 논문에서는 음성신호의 프리엠퍼시스를 이용하여 이러한 문제점들을 완화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 프리엠퍼시스된 음성신호의 다이나믹 레인지를 줄여줌으로써 스펙트럼 누설을 감소 시킨다. 제안한 프리엠퍼시스 방법을 검증하기 위하여, 다양한 잡음 및 잔향환경에서 TDOA 추정실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 프라엠퍼시스된 마이크 출력에 구형 윈도우함수를 적용시켜 CPSP를 구할 경우 프리엠퍼시스를 하지 않거나 다른 윈도우를 사용하는 경우에 비해 TDOA 추정성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

TOA(time-of-arrival) and TDOA(time-difference-of-arrival) positioning techniques are commonly used in many radio-navigation systems. From the literature, it is known that the position estimate and error covariance matrix of TDOA obtained by GN(Gauss-Newton) method is exactly the same as that of TOA when the error source of the range measurement is only an IID white Gaussian noise. In case of geo-location and indoor positioning, however, multi-path or NLOS(non-line-of-sight) error is frequently appeared in range measurements. Though its occurrence is random, the multipath acts like a bias for a stationary user if it occurs. This paper presents the comparisons of error characteristics between TOA and TDOA positioning in presence of multi-path or NLOS error. It is analytically shown that the position estimate of TDOA is exactly the same as that of TOA even when bias errors are included in range measurements with different magnitudes. By computer simulation, position estimation error and error distribution are analyzed in presence of range bias errors.

수중에서 음원까지의 거리를 추정하는 방법들이 연구되어 왔다. 그 가운데 초점 빔 형성기를 사용한 거리 추정 기법은 낮은 신호대 잡음비를 갖는 환경에서 우수한 성능을 갖는 것으고 알려져 있으나 다중 음원 환경에서는 성능 저하가 초래된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 두 개의 초점 빔 형성기를 사용하여 거리를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 표본화 주파수가 낮으면 초점 빔 형성기를 정확하게 원하는 위치로 지향할 수 없기 때문에 빔 패턴의 왜곡이 발생하게 되고, 그 결과 거리 추정 기법의 성능 저하를 초래한다. 그리고 이 논문에서는 표본화 주파수가 초점 빔 형성기를 이용하는 거리 추정 기법에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 고찰하도록 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 연구된 내용들을 검증하였다.

A mathematical modeling program called Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was applied to Hwaseong watershed. It was run under BASINS (Better Assessment Science for Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources) program, and the model was validated using monitoring data of $2002{\sim}2005$. The model efficiency of runoff ranged from good to fair in comparison between simulated and observed data, while it was from very good to poor in the water quality parameters. But its reliability and performance were within the expectation considering complexity of the watershed and pollutant sources. The nonpoint source (NPS) loading for T-N and T-P during the monsoon rainy season (June to September) was about 80% of total NPS loading, and runoff volume was also in a similar range. However, NPS loading for BOD ($55{\sim}60%$) didn't depend on rainfall because BOD was mostly discharged from point source (more than 70%). And water quality was not necessarily high during the rainy season, and showed a decreasing trend with increasing water flow. BASINS/HSPF was applied to the Hwaseong watershed successfully without difficulty, and it was found that the model could be used conveniently to assess watershed characteristics and to estimate pollutant loading including point and nonpoint sources in watershed scale.
