In this paper, the influence of voice source estimation and modeling on speech synthesis and coding is examined and then their new estimation and modeling techniques are proposed and verified by computer simulation. It is known that the existing speech synthesizer produced the speech which is dull and inanimated. These problems are arised from the fact that existing estimation and modeling techniques can not give more accurate voice parameters. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new voice source estimation algorithm and modeling techniques which can not give more accurate voice parameters. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new voice source estimation algorithm and modeling techniques which can represent a variety of source characteristics. First, we divide speech samples in one pitch region into four parts having different characteristics. Second, the vocal-tract parameters and voice source waveforms are estimated in each regions differently using sequential SVD. Third, we propose composite source model as a new voice source model which is represented by weighted sum of pre-defined basis functions. And finally, the weights and time-shift parameters of the proposed composite source model are estimeted uning EM(estimate maximize) algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the proposed estimation and modeling methods can estimate more accurate voice source waveforms and represent various source characteristics.

The noise sources, structure-borne and/or air-borne, in machinery can be defined by their locations and strengths. However the locations of that noise sources are well known in many cases. In those cases, the problem can be defined as an inverse problem to known the strengths of the noise sources in the frequency domain, the modeling scheme is classified by thecoherent or incoherent source. This paper expands the basic concept to the case of the complex noise sources, in which the set of coherent and incoherent noise sources are matched with the noise of a real vehicle. The error factors in the experiment and the optimal number of the monopole sources to match the real suond filed are also investigated. The results of the noise source modeling of heavy machinery show that the incoherent and coherent/incoherent source models are applicable to the high frequency and the low frequency region, respectively. The noise source model also enables the noise source analysis to rank the contribution of real source group such as engine, T/M, exhuast, etc.

The finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is widely applied to the analysis of various microwave circuits. However, previous source modeling techniques have a lot of constraints and difficulties to apply for general geometries. Therefore, the internal resistive source modeling technique is suggested for efficiently analyzing various types of microwave circuit in this paper. Its efficiency is proved by comparing the computation time with that of hard source modeling. Accuracy is also verified by comparing the scattering parameters with those of previous source modeling methods and measurements for several microwave circuits.

The real-time modeling system, named AirWatch System, has been developed to evaluate the environmental impact from a large source. It consists of stack TMS (TeleMetering System) that measures the emission data from the source, AWS (Automatic Weather Station) that monitors the weather data and computer system with the dispersion modeling software. The modeling theories used in the system are Gaussian plume and puff models. The Gaussian plume model is used for the dispersion in the simple terrain with a point meteorological data while the puff model is for the dispersion in complex terrain with three dimensional wind fields. The AirWatch System predicts the impact of the emitted pollutants from the large source on the near-by environment on the real -time base and the alarm is issued to control the emission rate if the calculated concentrations exceed the modeling significance level.

The sensitivity analysis of two short-term models (ISCST3, INPUFF2.5) is performed to improve the model accuracy. It appears that the sensitivities on the changes of wind speed, stack height and stack inner diameter in the near distance from source, stability and mixing height in the remote distance form source, are significant. Also the gas exit velocity, stack inner diameter, gas temperature and air temperature which affect the plume rise have some effects on the concentration values of each model within the downwind distance where final plume rise is determined. And in modeling for the atmospheric dispersion of point pollutant source INPUFF2.5 can calculate amount, trajectory of puff and concentration versus time at each receptors. So, it is compatible to analyze distribution of point pollutants concentration at modeling area.

The present study introduces a new cortical patch-based source model for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging to consider anatomical constraints more precisely. Conventional source models for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging have used coarse cortical surface mesh or sampled small number of vertices from fine surface mesh, and thus they failed to utilize full anatomical information which nowadays we can get with sub-millimeter modeling accuracy. Conventional ones placed a single dipolar source on each cortical patch and estimated its intensity by means of various inverse algorithms; whereas the suggested cortical patch-based model integrates whole cortical area to construct lead field matrix and estimates current density that is assumed to be constant in each cortical patch. We applied the proposed and conventional models to realistic EEG data and compared the results quantitatively. The quantitative comparisons showed that the proposed model can provide more precise spatial descriptions of neuronal source distribution.

In order to maintain and manage ambient air quality, it is necessary to identify sources and to apportion its sources for ambient particulate matters. The receptor methods were one of the statistical methods to achieve reasonable air pollution strategies. Also, receptor methods, a field of chemometrics, is based on manifold applied statistics and is a statistical methodology that analyzes the physicochemical properties of gaseous and particulate pollutant on various atmospheric receptors, identifies the sources of air pollutants, and quantifies the apportionment of the sources to the receptors. The objective of this study was 1) after obtaining results from the PMF modeling, the existing sources of air at the study area were qualitatively identified and the contributions of each source were quantitatively estimated as well. 2) finally efficient air pollution management and control strategies of each source were suggested. The PMF model was intensively applied to estimate the quantitative contribution of air pollution sources based on the chemical information (128 samples and 25 chemical species). Through a case study of the PMF modeling for the PM-10 aerosols, the total of 11 factors were determined. The multiple linear regression analysis between the observed PM-10 mass concentration and the estimated G matrix had been performed following the FPEAK test. Finally the regression analysis provided quantitative source contributions (scaled G matrix) and source profiles (scaled F matrix). The results of the PMF modeling showed that the sources were apportioned by secondary aerosol related source 28.8 ％, soil related source 16.8％, waste incineration source 11.5%, field burning source 11.0%, fossil fuel combustion source 10%, industry related source 8.3％, motor vehicle source 7.9%, oil/coal combustion source 4.4％, non-ferrous metal source 0.3％. and aged sea- salt source 0.2％, respectively.

In the present study, space allocation methods of pollutant emission from area and mobile sources are assessed by the actual application to air quality modeling of Pohang area. It is found that the TM-based modeling which allocates emission onto the 1km x 1km sized TM-grid system predicts almost the same mean ground-level concentration as that by the GIS-based modeling which uses geographical information of area and mobile sources directly, while maximum ground-level concentration by the TM-based modeling is predicted considerably lower than that by the GIS-based modeling. Moreover, the problem is found that the TM-based modeling causes deviation of mobile roads. In conclusion, it is anticipated to applying GIS-based modeling for a more accurate assessment of air quality in local scale.
