This paper presents a technique of imposing the prosodic features of a native speaker's utterance onto the same sentence uttered by a non-native speaker. Three acoustic aspects of the prosodic features were considered: the fundamental frequency (F0) contour, segmental durations, and the intensity contour. The fundamental frequency contour and the segmental durations of the native speaker's utterance were imposed on the non-native speaker's utterance by using the PSOLA (pitch-synchronous overlap and add) algorithm [1] implemented in Praat[2]. The intensity contour transfer was also done in Praat. The technique of transferring one or more of these prosodic features was elaborated and its implications in the area of language education were discussed.

This study investigates an independent evaluation of prosody and segmentals with reference to the difference in the foreign accent of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese learners of English. For this study, a set of stimuli were made of English sentences read by male and female Korean, Chinese, and Japanese learners of English by prosody swapping technique. Two groups of American and Korean subjects evaluated the difference in the prosody and segmentals of the stimuli by pairwise difference rating. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the evaluation scores of prosody and segmentals across accents for either subject group. The results also showed that both subject groups indicated a greater score with segmentals than with prosody. The results of the present study are significant in that they are opposite to the claim of some previous studies that prosodic factors could have a greater influence on the foreign accent and intelligibility than segmentals.

This study discusses the environmental awareness and the second-hand clothing usage of those consumers who actively purchase used clothing through a clothing swap at a used clothing market. The study used the questionnaire method, weか the subjects being those with experience of buying second-hand clothing. The findings were as follows. 1. The group of higher environmental awareness differed from the group with low environmental awareness in terms of donating or swapping clothing at a green store or in terms of discontinuing the wearing of used clothing bought from a green store. 2. The higher environmental awareness group valued fashion, status symbols and the alignment with others while the group with low environmental awareness valued comfort and economy more than those with the higher environmental awareness. 3. It was discovered that environmental awareness, education and income levels were interrelated.

We report the computational structural simulation of the Cry1Ab19 toxin molecule from B. thuringiensis BtX-2 based on the structure of Cry1Aa1 deduced by x-ray diffraction. Validation results showed that 93.5% of modeled residues are folded in a favorable orientation with a total energy Z-score of -8.32, and the constructed model has an RMSD of only $1.13{\AA}$. The major differences in the presented model are longer loop lengths and shortened sheet components. The overall result supports the hierarchical three-domain structural hypothesis of Cry toxins and will help in better understanding the structural variation within the Cry toxin family along with facilitating the design of domain-swapping experiments aimed at improving the toxicity of native toxins.

Several optimization techniques have been proposed for volume ray casting, but these cannot achieve real-time frame rates. In addition, it is difficult to apply them to some applications that require perspective projection. Recently, hardware-based methods using 3D texture mapping are being used for real-time volume rendering. Although rendering speed approaches real time, the larger volumes require more swapping of volume bricks for the limited texture memory. Also, image quality deteriorates compared with that of conventional volume ray casting. In this paper, we propose a data structure for real-time volume ray casting named PERM (Precomputed dEnsity and gRadient Map). The PERM stores interpolated density and gradient vector for quantized cells. Since the information requiring time-consuming computations is stored in the PERM, our method can ensure interactive frame rates on a consumer PC platform. Our method normally produces high-quality images because it is based on conventional volume ray casting.

Globalization is swapping the every possible corner of the globe steadily yet gradually. Mammoth like companies are penetrating the threshold of potential nations as freelancers and exploiting every inch of feasibility to carry out commercial activities. Undoubtedly, the entire world is experiencing the glare of new horizon. Even laggards nations are also turning out to be a country of immense potential and dynamism. They too, have awakened miserably to comprehend their self worth and entity while bearing the torch of Globalization. The shed of globalization have not only sprinkled capitalistic or mercantilist but even countries like China - once a hardcore communist country is also not remaining untouched with it. Albeit, the Dragon responding affirmatively to the hot current of Globalization yet their way is un-orthodoxical, strange and inventive. This case study discussed on major areas where India, the largest democracy in the world and six largest economy in the world are facing steep competition from China.

AIS가 도입된 이후 선박확인절차에 필요한 VHF교신량 감소, Ship to Ship, Ship to VTS간 안전통신의 기회증대와 RADAR에서 발생하는 Swap(물표바뀜)현상 감소 등 자동으로 선박정보를 수신함으로써 VTS구역의 전체적인 통항이미지를 관제사가 쉽게 그릴 수 있어 보다 안전한 관제업무를 수행하는데 기여하고 있다. 하지만 AIS탑재선박의 증가로 AIS기지국/선박국 통신환경에 따른 채널간섭과 AIS신호의 ERROR(오류) 정보 등이 관제업무를 더욱 위험한 상황으로 만드는 경우들이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 관제업무를 수행함에 있어서 경험하였던 AIS ERROR 정보로 인한 위험했던 상황들을 분석하여 다른 관제사가 업무 수행시 합리적인 판단을 내릴 수 있도록 AIS특성 및 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study investigates the difference in the evaluation of English pronunciation quality between native speakers of English and Korean learners of English. This study employs a novel method of independently evaluating the prosody and segmentals of English sentences. A set of stimuli were made by swapping the prosody and the segmentals of English sentences read by a native speaker of American English and a Korean learner of English. Evaluations of the difference level of stimuli pairs and the goodness of the pronunciation quality showed that both native speakers of English and Korean learners of English give priority to the segmentals but native speakers of English were more sensitive to the difference in prosody in the evaluation of English pronunciation.

현재 우리나라의 연안해상교통관제는 연안해역의 관제, 수색 및 구조지원, 선박통항관제 수단을 제공하고 하기 위해 AIS(Automatic Identification System)와 레이더 시스템을 활용하고 있다. 하지만 AIS의 경우 고가의 장비로 소형선박에 설치가 용이하지 않은 실정이며 레이더를 활용한 소형선박 관제 시 Target Swapping 현상과 거리와 크기에 의한 탐지성능 변화 등의 문제점으로 소형선박의 위치를 제대로 파악하지 못하여 사고발생의 큰 비중을 차지하고 있어 방지대책이 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안으로서 본 연구에서는 IP-RFID 기술을 활용한 연안해상교통관제시스템의 적용방안을 제시하고자 한다.
