In this paper, we propose a fast motion estimation algorithm using adaptive elimination of sub-block partial coefficients. The proposed algorithm predicts an adaptive threshold for each sub-block by using relationship of an initial sum of absolute difference(SAD) and a minimum SAD at the current point, and efficiently reduces unnecessary calculation time of the conventional partial distortion elimination(PDE) algorithm with the predicted threshold. Our algorithm reduces about 60% of computations of the conventional PDE algorithm without any degradation of prediction quality compared with the con ventional full search. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can be applied to other fast motion estimation 떠gorithms. the proposed Our proposing algorithm will be useful to real-time video coding applications using MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC standards.

This study characterizes Proctor and geophysical properties in a broad range of grading and fines contents. The results show that soil index properties such as uniformity and fines plasticity control the optimum water content and peak dry unit trends, as well as elastic wave velocity. The capillary pressure at a degree of saturation less than S = 20% plays a critical role in determining the shear wave velocity for poorly graded sandy soils. The reduction in electrical resistivity with a higher water content becomes pronounced as the water phase is connected A parallel set of compaction and geophysical properties of sand-kaolinite mixtures reveal that the threshold boundaries computed from soil index properties adequately capture the transitions from sand-controlled to kaolinite-controlled behavior. In the transitional fines fraction zone between F_F ≈ 20 and 40%, either sand or kaolinite or both sand and kaolinite could dominate the geophysical properties and all other properties associated with soil compaction behavior. Overall, the compaction and geophysical data gathered in this study can be used to gain a first-order approximation of the degree of compaction in the field and produce degree of compaction maps as a function of water content and fines fraction.

In this study, we investigated the effects of BiAlSiO glass composition on its glass forming range, thermal properties, and plasma resistance. The results showed that increasing the Al2O3 content suppressed the tendency for crystallization and hindered glass formation beyond a certain threshold. Bi2O3 was found to increase the content of non-bridging oxygen, resulting in a decrease in glass transition temperature and an increase in thermal expansion coefficient. Furthermore, the etching rate was found to improve with increasing Al2O3 content but decrease with increasing SiO2 content. It was concluded that the boiling point of fluorinated compounds should be considered to 900℃. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to the understanding of the properties of BiAlSiO glass and its application to low temperature melting PRG compositions.

This paper describes some IC(integrated circuits) design and implementation techniques of low power multi-band Gm-C bandpass filter for body composition analyzer. Proposed BPF(bandpass filter) can be selected from three bands(20 KHz, 50 KHz, 100 KHz) by control signal. To minimize die area, a simple center frequency tuning scheme is used. And to reduce power consumption, operational transconductance amplifier operated in the sub-threshold region is adopted. The proposed BPF is implemented with 0.35 um 2-poly 3-metal standard CMOS technology Chip area is $626.42um\;{\times}\;475.8um$ and power consumption is 700 nW@100 KHz.

This paper proposes the adaptive suboptimal iterative algorithm using threshold to reduce system complexity in the PTS\`s. Performance of the proposed adaptive suboptimal iteration algorithm is represented in terms of iteration number and CDF. In the case of the number of sub-block is 4, the 10-3 PAPR of the proposed method and P S improved this by 0.4dB compared to Cimini\`s. And the complexity of the proposed method was reduced to nearly 22% for the PTS\`s and 44% for the Cimini\`s for 8dB threshold. For the 8 sub-blocks, the 10$\^$-3/ PAPR of the proposed method reduced by 0.7dB compared to PTS\`s, but improved by 0.4dB compared to Cimini\`s. And the complexity of the proposed method was reduced to nearly 2.4% for the PTS\`s and 39% for the Cimini\`s.

In this paper, the 1/f noise characteristics of n-channel MOSFET (NMOSFET) and p-channel MOSFET (PMOSFET) are analyzed in depth as a function of body bias. The normalized drain current noise, $S_{ID}/I_D{^2}$ showed strong dependence on the body bias in the sub-threshold region for both NMOSFET and PMOSFET, and NMOSFET showed stronger dependence than PMOSFET on the body bias. On the contrary, both of NMOSFET and PMOSFET do not exhibit the dependence of $S_{ID}/I_D{^2}$ on body bias in strong inversion region, although the noise mechanisms of two MOSFETs are different from each other.

Turkey is located in one of the most seismically active regions of in Europe. The majority of the population living in big cities are at high seismic risk due to insufficient structural resistance of the existing buildings. Such a seismic risk brings the need for a comprehensive seismic evaluation based on the risk analysis in Turkey. Determining the seismic resistance level of existing building stock against the earthquakes is the first step to reduce the damages in a possible earthquake. Recently in January 2020, the Elazig earthquake brought the importance of the issue again in the public. However, the excessive amount of building stock, labor, and resource problems made the implementation phase almost impossible and revealed the necessity to carry out alternative studies on this issue. This study aims for a detailed investigation of residential buildings in Antalya, Turkey. The approach proposed here can be considered an improved state of building survey methods previously identified in Turkey's Design Code. Antalya, Turkey's fifth most populous city, with a population over 2.5 Million, was investigated as divided into sub-regions to understand the vulnerability, and a threshold value found for the study area. In this study, 26,610 reinforced concrete buildings between 1 to 7 stories in Antalya were examined by using the rapid visual assessment method. A specific threshold value for the city of Antalya was determined with the second level examination and statistical methods carried out in the determined sub-region. With the micro zonation process, regions below the threshold value are defined as the priority areas that need to be examined in detail. The developed methodology can be easily calibrated for application in other cities and can be used to determine new threshold values for those cities.

$P^M_{\lambda}$-service policy is a workload dependent hysteretic policy. The policy has two service states comprised of the ordinary stage and the fast stage. An ordinary service stage is initiated by the arrival of a customer in an idle state. When the workload of the server surpasses threshold ${\lambda}$, the ordinary service stage changes to the fast service state, and it continues until the system is empty. These service stages alternate in this manner. When the cost of changing service stages is high, the hysteretic policy is more efficient than the threshold policy, where a service stage changes immediately into the other service stage at either case of the workload's surpassing or crossing down a threshold. $P^M_{\lambda}$-service policy is a modification of $P^M_{\lambda}$-policy proposed to control finite dams, and also an extension of the well-known D-policy. The distributions of the stationary workload of $P^M_{\lambda}$-service policy and its variants are studied well. However, there is no known result on the sojourn time distribution. We prove that there is a relation between the sojourn time of a customer and the first up-crossing time of the workload process over the threshold ${\lambda}$ after the arrival of the customer. Using the relation and the duality of M/G/1 and G/M/1 queues, we obtain conditional sojourn time distributions in M/G/1 and G/M/1 queues under the policy.

In this paper, we demonstrate that the organic electrophosphorescent device is driven by the organic thin film transistor with spin-coated photoacryl gate insulator. It was found that electrical output characteristics in our organic thin film transistors using the staggered-inverted top-contact structure showed the non-saturated slope in the saturation region and the sub-threshold nonlinearity in the triode region, where we obtained the maximum power luminance that was about 90 $cd/m^2$. Field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio in 0.45 ${\mu}m$ thick gate dielectric layer were 0.17 $cm^2/Vs$, -7 V, and $10^6$ , respectively. In order to form polyimide as a gate insulator, vapor deposition polymerization process was also introduced instead of spin-coating process, where polyimide film was co-deposited by high-vacuum thermal evaporation from 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) and cured at 150${\sqsubset}$for 1hr. It was also found that field effect mobility, threshold voltage, on-off current ratio, and sub-threshold slope with 0.45 ${\mu}m$ thick gate dielectric films were 0.134 $cm^2/Vs$, -7 V, and $10^6$ A/A, and 1 V/decade, respectively.

In this study, we investigated the oxygen partial pressure effect of ITO films for electrodes of oxide-based Thin-Film Transistor (TFT). Firstly, we deposited single ITO films on the glass substrate at room temperature. ITO films were prepared at the various partial pressures of oxygen gas 0-7.4% (O₂/(Ar+O₂)). As increasing oxygen on the process of film deposition, electrical properties were improved and optical transmittance increased in the visible light range (300-800 nm). For the electrode of TFT, we fabricated a TFT device (W/L=1000/200 ㎛) with ITO films as the source and drain electrode on the silicon wafer. Except for the TFT device combined with ITO film prepared at the oxygen partial pressure ratio of 7.4%, We confirmed that TFT devices with ITO films via FTS system operated as a driving device at threshold voltage (V_th) of 4V.
