본 논문에서는 IS-OFDM(Interference Suppressing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템과 일반 OFDM 시스템을 비교 분석하였다. 입력된 IS-OFDM의 각 병렬 브랜치 시퀀스로 곱해진 뒤 모든 부반송파에 분배되고, 각 부반송파는 주어진 프레임에서 각 병렬 브랜치의 심볼 조각들의 합으로 이뤄진 정보를 전달한다. 한 부반송파 내에 포함된 모든 심볼들은 직교 시퀀스로 구별된다. IS-OFDM은 주파수 다이버시티 특성을 가지며 간섭에 강하다. 시스템의 성능분석은 협대역 간섭과 하모닉 잡음 환경에서 각각 BER 성능을 분석하였다. 협대역 간섭에 대한 성능분석 결과, 일정한 대역폭의 협대역 간섭인 경우는 JSR(jamming to signal power ratio)이 -10∼+10 dB로 증가할 때, 낮은 JSR에서는 IS-OFDM이 우수하며, JSR이 증가되면 그 성능차가 작아진다. 그리고 일정 JSR에서 협대역 간섭의 대역폭이 증가할 때도 역시 유사한 성능특성을 보인다. 하모닉 잡음에 대한 성능분석 결과 또한 JSR이 0 dB인 하모닉 잡음의 조밀도 h-rate이 0.01∼0.8로 증가할 때 위의 결과들과 유사한 성능특성을 나타낸다. 그러므로 IS-OFDM의 성능이 일반 OFDM보다 간섭에 강건함을 알 수 있다.

The Mega-Sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS), an innovative vibration passive control system for building structures, is improved by adding lead rubber bearings (LRBs) on top of the substructure. For the new system, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the dynamic parameters and distributions of dampers and LRBs. The program uses various seismic performance indicators as optimization objectives, and corresponding results are compared. It is found that the optimization procedure for maximizing the energy dissipation ratio yields the best solutions, and optimized models have consistent seismic performances under different earthquakes. Seismic performances of optimized MSCSS models with and without LRBs, as well as the traditional Mega-Sub Structure model, are evaluated and compared under El Centro wave, Taft wave and 20 other artificial waves. In both elastic and plastic analysis, the model with LRBs shows significantly smaller story drift and horizontal acceleration than those of the other two models, and fewer plastic hinges are developed during severe earthquakes. Energy analysis also shows that LRBs installed in proper locations increase the deformation and energy dissipation of dampers, thereby significantly reduce the kinetic, potential, and hysteretic energy in the structure. However, LRBs do not have to be mounted on all the additional columns. It is also demonstrated that LRBs at unfavorable locations can decrease the energy dissipation for dampers. After LRBs are installed, the optimal damping coefficient and the optimal damping exponent of dampers are reduced to produce the best damping effect.

A framed structure may be composed of two sub-structures, which are linked by a hinged joint. One sub-structure is the primary system and the other is the secondary system. The primary system, which is subjected to the periodic external load, can give rise to an auto-parametric resonance of the second system. Considering the geometric-stiffness effect produced by the axially internal force, the element equation of motion is derived by the extended Hamilton's principle. The element equations are then assembled into the global non-homogeneous Mathieu-Hill equations. The Newmark's method is introduced to solve the time-history responses of the non-homogeneous Mathieu-Hill equations. The energy-growth exponent/coefficient (EGE/EGC) and a finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FLE) are proposed for determining the auto-parametric instability boundaries of the structural system. The auto-parametric instabilities are numerically analyzed for the two frames. The influence of relative stiffness between the primary and secondary systems on the auto-parametric instability boundaries is investigated. A phenomenon of the "auto-parametric internal resonance" (the auto-parametric resonance of the second system induced by a normal resonance of the primary system) is predicted through the two numerical examples. The risk of auto-parametric internal resonance is emphasized. An auto-parametric resonance experiment of a ${\Gamma}$-shaped frame is conducted for verifying the theoretical predictions and present calculation method.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-1 비디오 스트림이 여러 해상도 수준으로 재생될 수 있도록 디스크 배열에 대한 스트라이핑 기법이 제시된다. MPEG-1 압축 알고리즘에 대한 본 논문의 다단계 엔코딩 기법은 우선 원래의 비디오 스트림을 시간적 차원에서 분할한다. 분할된 서브스트림의 각 프레임은 색상 차원에서 저해상도용 컴포넌트와 잔여 컴포넌트로 다시 분리된다. 멀티미디어 서버는 라운드 로빈 방식으로 서로 다른 컴포넌트의 블록을 디스크에 연속하여 저장한다. 결과적으로 해상도 수준이 낮게 유지될수록 고객에 의해 액세스되는 디스크들의 수가 적어지게 된다. 즉 디스크 배열을 효과적으로 이용하고 동시에 서비스되는 고객들의 수를 최대화하기 위하여 제시된 스트라이핑 기법은 서브스트림의 컴포넌트들을 디스크에 인터리빙하여 저장한다. 제시된 스트라이핑 기법은 서버의 성능을 개선할 수 있으며 이는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 실험적으로 검증되고 분석된다.

Breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common comorbidity in breast cancer survivors. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to evaluate therapeutic response of patients with various medical conditions, it is not routinely used to evaluate lymphedema patients. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify studies on the use of MRI to evaluate therapy for BCRL. We hypothesized that MRI could provide information otherwise not possible through other examinations. On October 21, 2019, we conducted a systematic review on the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases, without time frame or language limitations, to identify studies on the use of MRI to evaluate therapy for BCRL. We excluded studies that investigated other applications of MRI, such as lymphedema diagnosis and surgical planning. Of 63 potential articles identified with the search, three case series fulfilled the eligibility criteria. In total, 53 patients with BCRL were included and quantitatively evaluated with MRI before and after manual lymphatic drainage. Authors used MRI or MR lymphagiography to investigate factors such as lymphatic vessel cross-sectional area, tissue water relaxation time (T₂), and chemical exchange saturation transfer. The only study that compared MRI measurement with standard examinations reported that MRI added information to the therapy evaluation. MRI seems to be a promising tool for quantitative measurement of therapeutic response in patients with BCRL. However, the identified studies focused on only manual lymphatic drainage and were limited by the small numbers of patients. More studies are necessary to shed light on the topic.

버스트 제어 정보와 버스트를 offset 시간으로 분리하여 전송하는 광 버스트 스위칭 망에서 버스트 충돌 발생은 서비스 품질 저하를 초래하며 이러한 현상은 버스트 크기가 클수록 더욱더 심각해진다. 그러므로 노드에서 버스트 충돌 방지를 위한 효과적인 예방 대책이 반드시 수립되어야 한다. 그러나 현재 광 버스트 스위칭 망에서 제시되고 있는 버스트 충돌에 대한 다양한 접근 방법들은 버스트 충돌 발생 후 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 제시되고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 Ingress 에지 노드에서 부 반송파 다중화 기술을 이용하여 버스트 전송 크기를 줄임으로써 코어 망에서 스케줄링 시 발생할 수 있는 버스트 충돌 확률을 미리 예방하는 방법이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 부 반송파 다중화 기한의 광 버스트 스위칭 망에서 버스트 생성과 전송을 위한 모듈구조와 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 기법에 대해 파장 개수와 부 반송파 개수에 따른 버스트 손실률, 처리율 및 총 용량 관점에서 성능 평가를 실시하였다.

본 논문에서는 무선과 같은 대역 제한되고 잡음의 영향이 심한 환경에서 동영상 부호화를 위해 H.263를 이용하여 비트스트림을 구성하였다. 구현된 비트스트림의 실제 데이터 부분에 대한 UEP를 위해 제안된 EREC 알고리즘을 적용하여 EREC 서부프레임을 구현한다. 이러한 것은 블록단위의 재동기를 할 수 있어 에러의 전파를 최소로할 수 있고 INTRADC, MVD와 같은 중요 비트위치알 수 있다. 이러한 중요비트 위치를 이용하여 클래스를 분류하고 클래스정보에 의해 가변적인 puncturing 테이블을 설계하였으며 터보 코드의 부호율을 클래스에 따라 다르게 설계하였다. 채널코딩은 터보 코드를 사용하고 인터리버는 EREC 서브프레임 단위의 가변 부호율을 적용시 중요비트의 부가 비트가 제거되지 않고 가변적인 크기이지만 송, 수신단에서 항상 동일하게 설계한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 비트오류확률 측면에서 EEP와 비슷한 부호율을 갖는 UEP는 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 영상에 적용한 결과 중요 비트들의 보호에의해 주관적, 객관적 화질이 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, limestone powder (LS) and fly ash (FA) were used as powder materials in self-compacting concrete (SCC) in increasing quantities in addition to cement, so that the two powders commonly used in the production of SCC could be compared in the same study. Considering the reduction of the maximum aggregate size in SCC, 10 mm or 16 mm was selected as the coarse aggregate size. The properties of fresh concrete were determined by slump flow (including T₅₀₀ time), V-funnel and J-ring experiments. The experimental results showed that as the amount of both LS and FA increased, the slump flow also increased. The increase in powder material had a negative effect on V-funnel flow times, causing it to increase; however, the increase in FA concretes was smaller compared to LS ones. The increase in the powder content reduced the amount of blockage in the J-ring test for both aggregate sizes. As the hardened concrete properties, the compressive and splitting strengths as well as the modulus of elasticity were determined. Longitudinal and transverse deformations were measured by attaching a special frame to the cylindrical specimens and the values of Poisson's ratio, initiation and critical stresses were obtained. Despite having a similar W/C ratio, all SCC exhibited higher compressive strength than NVC. Compressive strength increased with increasing powder content for both LS and FA; however, the increase of the FA was higher than the LS due to the pozzolanic effect. SCC with a coarse aggregate size of 16 mm showed higher strength than 10 mm for both powders. Similarly, the modulus of elasticity increased with the amount of powder material. Inelastic properties, which are rarely found in the literature for SCC, were determined by measuring the initial and critical stresses. Crack formation in SCC begins under lower stresses (corresponding to lower initial stresses) than in normal concretes, while critical stresses indicate a more brittle behavior by taking higher values.

Laser vision inspection systems are becoming popular for automated inspection of manufactured components. The performance of such systems can be enhanced by improving accuracy of the hardware and robustness of the software used in the system. This paper presents a new approach for enhancing the capability of a laser vision system by applying hardware compensation and using efficient analysis software. A 3D geometrical model is developed to study and compensate for possible distortions in installation of gantry robot on which the vision system is mounted. Appropriate compensation is applied to the inspection data obtained from the laser vision system based on the parameters in 3D model. The present laser vision system is used for dimensional inspection of car chassis sub frame and lower arm assembly module. An algorithm based on simplex search techniques is used for analyzing the compensated inspection data. The details of 3D model, parameters used for compensation and the measurement data obtained from the system are presented in this paper. The details of search algorithm used for analyzing the measurement data and the results obtained are also presented in the paper. It is observed from the results that, by applying compensation and using appropriate algorithms for analyzing, the error in evaluation of the inspection data can be significantly minimized, thus reducing the risk of rejecting good parts.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a QoS based IrDA in mobile phones. The IrDA standards have arised from the need to connect various mobile devices together. But currently, we have a difficult to connecting various mobile devices together. The difficult thing is to adjust the minimum turn around time. The minimum turn around time in IrDA deals with the time needed for a receiver circuit to recover following saturation by transmissions from the same device (turn around latency). This parameter corresponds to the required time delay between the last byte of the last frames sent by a station and the point at which it is ready the first byte of a frame from another station. This parameter comes into play when the link is turned around and is negotiated independency for each station. We solve this matter by using the Dynamic Adjustment Algorithm (DAA). The dynamic adjustment algorithm adjusts the minimum turn around time according to the numbers of devices. We apply our direct adjustment algorithm to our QoS based IrDA in mobile phones and show the improved performance of connection with various mobile phones together.
