In this paper, the performance of PRA (pel recurdive algorithm) and BMA(block matching algorithm), which are the most well-known motion estimation techniques, is compared and the effects of the motion estimation accuracy on the motion compensated coding are described. Results of computer simulation on the real images indicate that the TSS (three step search), which is one of the BMA,is slightly better than the PRA in terms of the accuracy however, the required bit rate is 6.6-8.2 Kbps higher that of the PRA because the TSS requires a transmission of motion estimation vectors.

Technical Specifications (TSs) for a nuclear power plant is an important licensing document which defines various operational requirements or conditions. Recently, many researchers have evaluated the risk impacts associated with the TS requirements, using probabilistic safety assessments becoming widely available. This paper presents insights gained km our review of recent risk-based analyses of TSs, focussing on surveillance requirements and AOT (allowed outage time) requirements.

The three-step search (TSS) algorithm for block motion estimation has been widely used in real-time video coding due to the simplicity of the algorithm significant reduction of computationl cost and good performance. In this paper an improved three-step search (ITS) algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of the TSS algorithm. Simulation results show that in terms of motion compensation errors the proposed ITSS outperforms some popular fast search algorithms while it has the lower computational complexity.

NTSS 알고리즘 (New Three-Step Search Algorithm)은 대표적인 고속 블록 정합 알고리즘(Block Matching Algorithm: BMA)의 하나인 TSS 알고리즘 (Three-Step Search Algorithm)에 동영상이 갖는 중앙 편향적(Center-Biased) 특성을 반영한 방법이다. 그러나 NTSS는 움직임이 작은 동영상인 경우에는 TSS보다 개선된 성능을 보여주지만, 움직임이 큰 동영상에 대해서는 TSS와 큰 차이가 없으며, 탐색범위가 커질수록 오히려 성능이 떨어지는 단점이 있다 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 특성에 따라 적응적으로 탐색범위를 결정하여 탐색범위의 증가로 발생되는 NTSS의 단점을 보완함으로써 움직임이 큰 동영상에 대해서도 향상된 성능을 갖는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 적용하였을 때 움직임이 작은 동영상에서는 기존 NTSS 방법과 동일한 화질을 유지하면서 움직임이 큰 동영상에서는 최대 0.5dB 이상 성능이 개선되었다.

Objectives : Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN), generally considered to be the most symptomatically distressing complication of diabetes, affects more than 50% of people with diabetes. However, no consistently effective treatment for DPN is available and patients are forced to struggle with medications that provide only partial relief. In this pilot study, we evaluated the clinical effects of Saam acupuncture for the treatment of painful DPN. Methods : A total of 10 patients with painful DPN were included in the study; 6 subjects with Saam acupuncture treatment and 4 subjects without it. Subjects were defined as having painful DPN if they had at least 2 points using total symptom score(TSS). Treatments were delivered three times a week for 4 weeks. Vitamin $B_{12}$ was orally administrated in the all subjects. At initial(0 week) and follow-up after 4 weeks and 8 weeks, all subjects underwent TSS, Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument(MNSI), and nerve conduction test. Results : After initial(0 week) and follow-up(8 weeks), TSS and MNSI were not significantly different between the two groups(p=0.400 and p=0.830, respectively). However, in both two groups, according to time, there was a significant difference in TSS as well as MNSI(p=0.001 and p=0.004, respectively). Conclusions : Saam acupuncture may be considered as the effective treatment for the patients of DPN although the changes of the symptoms were of limited significance in this study. Further investigations are required to elucidate the role of Saam acupuncture for the pain control of DPN.

가축사육지역으로부터 발생되는 강우유출수 처리를 위해 건설된 인공습지에 대해 2010년 5월부터 2011년 11월까지 수행한 20회의 강우시 모니터링을 통하여 얻은 자료를 분석한 결과 강우시 저감효율은 TSS 88%, BOD 54%, $COD_{Mn}$ 35%, $COD_{Cr}$ 70%, TN 31%, TP 64%이었다. 이론적으로 강우계급의 증가(강우유출량 증가)는 습지의 수리학적 교환비율을 증가시키기 때문에 TSS 저감효율은 감소해야하는데 교환비율이 1에 접근하였을 때 대략 55%의 효율을 달성하였다. 또한 연속적인 강우활동, 개별적인 강우사상의 대소, 강도, 선행건기 일수 등 습지에서는 실험자가 제어할 수 없는 수많은 자연변수들이 복합적으로 작용하기 때문에 처리효율의 변동이 매우 컸다. 효율에 가장 큰 영향을 미친 요인으로는 수리학적 요인과 함께 조류증식이 성능 불확실성에 크게 기여하였다.

In this study, ozone was adopted for the reduction and stabilization of waste sludge from the municipal sewage treatment plant. The waste sludge used in the experiments was primary sludge, excess sludge and a mixture of the two. The sludge cells and flocs were disrupted by ozonation resulting in the reduction of TSS and VSS concentrations. In the case of the primary sludge with a concentration of 20 gTS/L, the TSS and VSS concentrations were reduced 28%, 33% and the TCOD concentration was reduced 20% respectively. The consumption of ozone was $0.18gO_3/gSS$. In the case of the excess sludge with a concentration of 7.5 gTS/L, the TSS and VSS concentrations were reduced 37%, 41%, and the TCOD concentration was reduced 19% respectively. The consumption of ozone was $0.33gO_3/gSS$. In the case of the mixed sludge of 9.3 gTS/L, the TSS and VSS concentrations were reduced by 45%, 53%, and the TCOD was reduced 26% respectively. The desirable consumption of ozone was $0.27gO_3/gSS$. As ozonation proceeded, the level of SCOD increased due to the release of intracellular materials. However TCOD was reduced due to mineralization resulting from the transformation of organic materials to inorganic materials.

항공전자 시스템의 복잡성이 높아짐에 따라 소프트웨어 컴포넌트의 이식성 및 재사용성이 강조되었다. 본 논문에서는 ARINC 653 요구사항을 만족하는 VxWorks 653 운용 환경에서 FACE(The Future Airborne Capability Environment)표준에 적합한 IOSS(Input Output Service Segment) 및 TSS(Transport Service Segment)에 대한 구조 설계 방안을 설명한다. IOSS 및 TSS는 각각 다른 파티션에서 독립적으로 동작하게 하여 시/공간 분리 및 다른 소프트웨어의 영향성을 최소화 하였고, 이식성 및 재사용성을 높이기 위해 디자인 패턴 중 전략 패턴을 적용하였다. 또한, IOSS는 Distributed IO Service 구조를 적용하여 외부 인터페이스 서비스를 제공하고, 외부 인터페이스 중 FACE를 적용한 장비의 ARINC 664 P7 인터페이스는 TSS에 배치하여 데이터 이동 경로를 최적화 하였다.

The presence of high amounts of organic and inorganic contaminants in textile wastewater is a major environmental concern. Therefore, the treatment of textile wastewater is an urgent issue to save the aquatic environment. The disposal of large quantities of untreated textile wastewater into inland water bodies can cause serious water pollution. In this study, synthetic dye wastewater samples were prepared using orange dye in the laboratory. The synthetic samples were then treated by a batch adsorption process using the prepared activated carbon (AC) from date pits. The wastewater parameters studied were the pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), electrical conductivity (EC) and salinity. The activated adsorption process showed that the maximum removal efficiencies of electric conductivity (EC), salinity, TDS and TSS were 65%, 92%, 89% and 90%, respectively. The removal efficiencies were proportional to the increase in contact time (30-120 min) and AC adsorbent dose (1, 3 and 5 g/L). The adsorption profile indicates that 5 g/L of adsorbent delivers better results for TDS, EC, TSS and salinity at contact time of 120 min. The adsorption characteristics are better suited to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were well suited for describing the adsorption or contact behavior of EC and TSS within the studied system.

In this paper, we propose to extend the TSS-LS (Two-Step Search scheme with Linear search based Second step) scheme which was already proposed by the authors for coherent UWB (Ultra Wide Band) systems, to rapid and reliable acquisition of noncoherent UWB systems in multipath channels. The proposed noncoherent TSS-LS employing simple energy window banks utilizes two different thresholds and search windows to achieve fast acquisition. Furthermore, the linear search is adopted for the second step in the proposed scheme to correctly find the starting point in the range of effective delay spread of the multipath channels, and to obtain reliable BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the noncoherent UWB systems. Simulation results show that the proposed TSS-LS can achieve significant reduction of the required mean acquisition time as compared to general search schemes. In addition, the proposed scheme achieves quite good BER performance, which is favorably comparable to the case of ideal perfect timing.
