This paper proposes a speech processing system based on a model of the human auditory system and a noise reduction neural network with fast Fourier transform (FFT) amplitude and phase spectrums for noise reduction under background noise environments. The proposed system reduces noise signals by using the proposed neural network based on FFT amplitude spectrums and phase spectrums, then implements auditory processing frame by frame after detecting voiced and transitional sections for each frame. The results of the proposed system are compared with the results of a conventional spectral subtraction method and minimum mean-square error log-spectral amplitude estimator at different noise levels. The effectiveness of the proposed system is experimentally confirmed based on measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this experiment, the maximal improvement in the output SNR values with the proposed method is approximately 11.5 dB better for car noise, and 11.0 dB better for street noise, when compared with a conventional spectral subtraction method.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the fundamental properties of the gradual muscle force potentiation. We investigated the dependence of force potentiation on both the pulse-amplitude and the pulse-duration with different ramp-up time. The experimental results showed that the force increment ratio (FIR) during constant electrical stimulation decreased with pulse-amplitude and also with pulse-duration. The FIR was greater with short ramp-up time in both the pulse-amplitude and pulse-width modulation. The feasible mechanism might be that the myosin light chain phosphorylation induces the force potentiation and it occurs only in the fast type muscle fibers which are recruited first. These observations indicate that muscle potentiation must be understood well for the accurate control of muscle force.

본 연구는 정적은 물론 동적 거동에 관한 연구가 거의 없는 포항지역의 이암풍화토에 대하여 저변형률하에서의 동적 거동 파악을 위하여 수행되었다. 동적 거동에 영향을 미치는 요소들로는 간극비, 포화도 그리고 구속압 등 3가지의 변수를 설정하였다. 그 중 간극비와 포화도를 달리하여 공시체를 제작하고 구속압을 단계적으로 증가시켜가며 저변형률하에서의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 거동을 고찰하였다. 이러한 저변형률하에서의 시험을 실시하기 위해 공진주 시험장치를 사용하였으며, 시험에서 얻어진 결과값들을 이용하여 이암풍화토의 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 저변형률하에서 이암풍화토의 최적포화도가 $32{\sim}37%$ 나타났다. 이는 주광물의 비율과 형상뿐만 아니라 세립분의 함유량 차이로 인하여 화강풍화토보다 크게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences of hip and thigh muscle activities between subjects with increased and decreased femoral anteversion during stair ascent. Twelve healthy female volunteers participated in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups (group 1 with increased anteversion of the hip, group 2 with decreased anteversion of the hip). This study analyzed differences in each mean peak gluteus maximus (GM), gluteus medius (GD) and tensor fascia lata (TLF) EMG amplitude: composite mean peak hip muscles (GM, GD, TFL) EMG amplitude ratios and in each mean peak vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL), biceps femoris (HM) and semitendinosus (HL) EMG amplitude: composite thigh muscles (VMO, VL, HM, HL) EMG amplitude ratios among subjects with decreased or increased relative femoral anteversion. EMG ratios were compared in the stance and swing phase of stair ascent. Group 1 showed an increased standardized mean GM and GD EMG amplitude and decreased standardized mean TFL to composite mean hip muscles EMG amplitude ratios in stair ascent during both stance and swing phase. Also, group 1 showed an increased standardized mean HL EMG amplitude and decreased standardized mean VL and HM to composite mean thigh muscles EMG amplitude ratios in stair ascent during both stance and swing phases. There was no statistically significant difference in vastus medialis oblique between subjects with increased or decreased relative femoral anteversion. In order to provide rehabilitation professionals with a clearer picture of the specific requirements of the stair climbing task, further research must be expanded to include a wider range of age groups that represent the general public, such as including middle-aged healthy persons.

Electromagnetic vortex flowmeter is a new type of instrument for detecting leakage of steam generator, and the signal processing method based on the envelope to calculate energy ratio can effectively detect bubbles in sodium flow. The signal processing method is not affected by changes in the amplitude of the sensor output signal, which is caused by changes in magnetic field strength and other factors. However, the detection sensitivity of the electromagnetic vortex flowmeter is reduced. To this end, a signal processing method based on inverse Fourier transform to calculate energy ratio is proposed. According to the difference between the frequency band of the bubble noise signal and the flow signal, only the amplitude in the frequency band of the flow signal is retained in the frequency domain, and then the flow signal is obtained by the inverse Fourier transform method, thereby calculating the energy ratio. Using this method to process the experimental data, the results show that it can detect 0.1 g/s leak rate of water in the steam generator, and its performance is significantly better than that of the signal processing method based on the envelope to calculate energy ratio.

계면상 조건과 섬유 함유량 변화에 따른 단섬유 강화 CR의 동적특성에 대해 주파수, 진폭 그리고 온도를 함수로 실험적 고찰을 하였다. 진폭 변형률 증가에 따라 LF는 1.33% 이상에서 약간 증가하였고, DR은 크게 감소하였다. 주파수 증가에 따라 LF는 특히 50Hz 이후 크게 감소하였고, DR은 기지고무보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 온도 증가에 따라 LF는 $65^{\circ}$에서 최대 값을 나타내고 이후 크게 감소세를 보였다. DR은 온도가 증가에 따라 기지고무 보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 일반적으로 동일한 시험 조건에서 계면상이 우수할수록 LF와 DR이 낮은 값을 보였다. 따라서 단섬유 강화고무는 진동 수비가 $\sqrt{2}$ 이하보다는 $\sqrt{2}$ 이상에서 더 큰 진동절연 효과가 있다고 할 수 있다.

Fretting damage reduces fatigue life of the material due to low amplitude cyclic sliding and changes in the contact surfaces of strongly connected machine and structures such as bolt, key, fixed rivet and connected shaft, which have relative slip of repeatedly very low frequency amplitude. In this study, the fretting fatigue behavior of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloys used mainly in aircraft and automobile industry were evaluated. The plain fatigue test and fretting fatigue test under cyclic bending load carried out commercial bending fatigue tester and specially devised equipments to cause fretting damage. From these experimental work, the following results obtained: (1) The plain fatigue limit for stress ratio R=-l was about 151MPa. (2) In case of fretting fatigue, fatigue limit for stress ratio R=-l about 72MPa, the fatigue limit for R=0 about 81MPa, and the fatigue limit for R=0.3 about 93MPa. (3) The fatigue limit reduction rates by the fretting damage were about 52%(R=-1), 46%(R=0) and 38%(R=0.3) respectively. (4) The fatigue limit reduction rate decreased with stress ratio increase. In fretting bending test, as stress ratio increased, occurrence of initial oblique crack by fretting decreased or phased out, so that fracture surfaces were formed by plain fatigue crack occurrence, and such tendency was notable as stress amplitude increased. (5) Tire tracks and rubbed scars were observed in the fracture surface and contacted surface.

Background and purpose: Bell‘s Palsy is a condition that causes the facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. It's caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve, and is not permanent. The aim of this study is to be convinced of differences between facial electrodermal activities of paralyzed side and those of normal side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients Methods: Electrodermal activity (EDA) was performed within 1 week after the onset of facial palsy and facial nerve electromyography (EMG) at 2 weeks after the onset. The recovery of facial nerve function was documented by House and Brackmann grading. All the patients were followed up weekly until recovery or up to 6 weeks. Results: There was significant differences (conductivity A: t=3.319, p=0.002; conductivity C: t=2.699, p=0.010) between facial electrodermal conductivities of paralyzed side and those of normal side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients (N=45). And the result showed that logarithmic scale of electrodermal conductivity A value ratio obviousely decreased with logarithmic scale of EMG zygomatic branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.472, p=0.143); logarithmic scale of capacitance B, logarithmic scale of EMG temporal branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.422, p=0.133); logarithmic scale of conductivity C, logarithmic scale of EMG buccal branch amplitude ratio (r=-0.545, p=0.083) (N=12). Conclusion: Electrodermal conductivities increased in paralyzed facial side in acute stage of Bell's Palsy patients.

본 논문에서는 탄소성 영역 내 패치 로딩 크기에 따른 알루미늄 합금 사각형 판의 초기 처짐 영향을 수치해석방법으로 이용한 탄성 및 탄소성 대변형 시리즈 해석을 수행하였다. 주변 지지조건은 단순지지로 가정하고 초기 처짐 크기(w/t), 종횡비(a/b), 세장비(b/t)를 고려하여 알루미늄 합금 A6082-T6 사각형 판의 임계 탄성 좌굴하중과 좌굴 후 거동을 검토하였다. 탄성 및 탄소성 대변형 시리즈 해석은 상용프로그램을 사용하였다. 초기 처짐 크기가 작을 경우 하중증가와 함께 면내 강성이 처음부터 감소하며 크기가 커질수록 훨씬 두드러지게 발생한다. 종횡비가 커질수록 초기항복강도는 점차 감소하며 판 두께가 두꺼울수록 패치 로딩 크기(l/b) 0.5 이후 초기 항복강도 감소비율은 얇은 두께보다 더 크게 발생한다.

기존의 성도 정규화 방법은 화자 간 정규화의 정확성을 개선하기 위한 매우 좋은 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 피치 변경 발성에 기반을 둔 새로운 화자 내 warping 인수 추정 방법을 제안한다. 화자 내 피치 변경 발성은 성문과 성도에 의해 발생되는 음성의 음향학적 차이 때문에 음성의 특징 공간 분포는 다르게 나타날 것이다. 발성의 변동은 frequency 성분과 amplitude 성분의 두가지 유형이 있다. 성도 정규화는 화자 간 정규화 방법들 중에서 주파수 정규화 방법이다. 여기에서는 화자 내 정규화를 위하여 진폭 변동을 정규화하는 방법을 제안한다. 참조 피치와 입력 피치의 역비례 계산에 의해서 진폭 warping 인수를 결정하는 것이 가능하다. 성능 평가를 위한 인식 실험 결과 숫자와 단어 인식에서 0.4%∼2.3% 정도의 인식 오류가 감소되었다.
