  • 현대 사회에서 문화산업은 삶의 질을 누릴 수 있는 기회와 안식을 제공해 주는 분야라고 할 수 있을 정도로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히 음악 분야는 대중성과 독창성이 함께 공존하여 감정을 표출하고 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 예술적 가치로 인정받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 음악 분야에 대한 일반인의 재능을 평가 할 수 있는 지표를 설계하기 위해 목소리가 발산하고 있는 에너지를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 동일한 음악에 대한 가수의 목소리와 일반인의 목소리에서 성도의 모양 변화에 대한 결과 파형의 패턴 분석을 실험하여 두 집단간의 비교, 분석을 행하고자 한다. 따라서 실험에 사용될 대중적 음악을 선정하고 동일 부분에 대한 가수와 일반인의 목소리를 수집하여 시간의 흐름에 따른 음성 에너지의 변화를 패턴 분석하고 이를 비교하여 음악적 재능을 평가할 수 있는 지표를 설계하고자 한다.

  • This paper presents an efficient algorithm for determining the location, size and number of capacitors in unbalanced radial distribution system. The objective function formulated consists of two terms: cost for energy loss and cost related to capacitor purchase and capacitor installation. The cost function associated with capacitor placement is considered as step function due to banks of standard discrete capacities. Genetic algorithms(GA) are used to obtain the population is derived. The strings in each population consist of the bus number index and size of capacitors to be installed. In order to determine the number of capacitor placement, the length mutation operator is used. Its efficiency is proved through the application in unbalanced radial distribution systems made of 10 buses with 9 distribution lines and 25 buses with 24 distribution lines.

  • This paper is concerned with the optimal seismic design of added viscous dampers in yielding plane frames. The total added damping is minimized for allowable values of local performance indices under the excitation of an ensemble of ground motions in both regular and irregular structures. The local performance indices are taken as the maximal inter-story drift of each story and/or the normalized hysteretic energy dissipated at each of the plastic hinges. Gradients of the constraints with respect to the design variables (damping coefficients) are derived, via optimal control theory, to enable an efficient first order optimization scheme to be used for the solution of the problem. An example of a ten story three bay frame is presented. This example reveals the following 'fully stressed characteristics' of the optimal solution: damping is assigned only to stories for which the local performance index has reached the allowable value. This may enable the application of efficient and practical analysis/redesign type methods for the optimal design of viscous dampers in yielding plane frames.

  • Advent of lasers offering high intensity beam has opened the glass to the nonlinear optic (NLO). The high electric field associated with such laser beams can be so large that high order components of the glass polarization can be measured. Such development is of scientific and technological interests in particular in systems involving an intensity-dependent refractive index and/or ultra-fast response (<10$\^$-12/s). From a scientific viewpoint the NLO response intensity must be understood as a function of the glass composition. On the other hand, large family of applications are presently under investigation in various fields of optical materials or systems e.g. laser glasses for fusion energy, soliton propagation for ultra-long distances, ultra-fast-switching, optical storage etc....(omitted)

  • 2205 duplex stainless steels have been used for the construction of the marine environment, because of their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. However, the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) may be less than that of 316L austenitic stainless steel. The reason why 316L stainless steels have better resistance to HE is associated with crystal structure (FCC, face centered cubic) and the higher stacking faults energy than 2205 duplex stainless steels. Furthermore 2205 stainless steels with or without tungsten were also examined in terms of HE. 2205 stainless steels containing tungsten is less resistible to HE. It is because dislocation tangle was formed in 2205 duplex stainless steels. Slow strain-rate tensile test (SSRT) was conducted to measure the resistance to HE under the cathodic applied potential. Hydrogen embrittlement index (HEI) was used to evaluate HE resistance through the quantitative calculation.

  • In this paper, the biomedical signal compression method with multi-stage vector quantization is proposed. It utilizes characteristic of wavelet coefficients in which the energy is concentrated on approximation coefficients. The transmitted codebook index consists code vectors obtained by wavelet coefficients of ECG and Error signals from the 1024 block length, respectively. The proposed compression method showed 2.1298% in average PRD and 1.8 kbits/sec in CDR.

  • The estimation of retention factors by correlation equations with physico-chmical properties maybe helpful in chromatographic work. The physico-chemical properties were water solubility (S), hydrophobicity (P), total energy ($E_t$), connectivity index 1 ($^1{\chi}$), hydrophilic-lipophlic balance (x) and hydrophilic surface area (h) of isoflavones. The retention factors were experimentally measured by RP-HPLC. Especially, the empirical regulations of water solubility and hydrophobicity were expressed in a linear form. The equation between retention factors and various physico-chemical properties of isoflavones was suggested as $k = a_0 + a_1\;log S + a_2log\;P^Q + a_3(E_t) + a_4(^1{\chi}) + a_5(x) + a_6(h)$, and the correlation coefficients estimated were relatively higher than 0.95. The empirical equations might be successfully used for a prediction of the various chromatographic characteristics of substances, with a similar chemical structure.

  • We present an analysis of the soft X-ray emission of MRK 841 to investigate its long-term variation. The light variation of MRK 841 for three different energy bands of soft, medium, and hard values were studied. The maximum variability with a factor of 5 for about two years was confirmed at all three different bands. The light curves exhibit a gradual variation of brightness. In addition to a gradual variation, the short- term or micro variation was also confirmed with a factor of about two for all three different bands. The light variation of each band did not exhibit a correlation between them, but the flare event is strongest in the soft band. The hardness ratio for hard and soft bands shows irregular variation but there was no correlation between them. It was confirmed that there is a gradual decrease of the photon index. Results of our analysis are discussed within the framework of the accretion disk phenomenon.

  • An offshore wind power plant (WPP) is very expensive and different from an onshore wind power system in many ways. There has been a continuous increase in the capacity of the offshore WPPs. Therefore it is essential to analyze the feasibility and reliability of the offshore wind power to optimize their redundancy. Besides, it is very important to study a planning for grid interconnection of adjacent offshore WPPs. This paper proposes a economic evaluation method to interconnect with adjacent offshore substations in offshore wind power grid. Also, we suggest the probabilistic reliability method to calculate a probabilistic power output of the wind turbine and a cost of the expected energy not supplied that is used as the reliability index of the power system.
