However, only the portion projected on the image is measurable in one image capture. Therefore, it is necessary to unite 3-D information measured from two or more images to realize a wide range 3-D measurement of object shape. In this research, the measurement results of obtaining from two images are combined by using 3-D coordinates transformation technique of 3-D measurement results. The method of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is used in this research to request the 3-D coordinates space transformation matrix. Moreover, to secure the reliability of the transformation matrix calculated from SVD, many need the measurement point that exists in the measurement result in different coordinate space. Therefore, selection of the method of measuring the larger area by one image is important. In this research, the Optimal Intensity-Modulated Projection (OIMP) pattern projection technique that can measure an area wide to be measured it high-speed and robustly in this research. In the SVD method, it is necessary to solve the third equation to request a peculiar value. Therefore, the detection of a peculiar value is tried by using Newton method in this research. Newton method is a technique of the equation system method algorithm by the iteration method, and linear etc. have an effective feature of not being especially demanded about the equation. However, cancellation of significant digits occurs when the computer calculates and the detection accuracy decreases. Or, when detecting it in the large range, large time is necessary. And, it proposed the algorithm that prevented cancellation of significant digits and the algorithm to which the range of the retrieval was able to be reduced. This thesis is composed by four Chapters. Chapter1describes the basic principle of 3-D image measurement, the measurement principle using pattern projection technique, and the measurement principle using OIMP technique, etc. Chapter 2 describes the expression and the computational method of the movement of the model in a 3-D space, to analyze the movement of the unknown between the measurement results. And, the results of experimenting on the characteristic of the rotation procession who calculated by using the singular value decomposition as a preliminary experiment are shown. Chapter 3 describes the 3-D reappearance of the uniting results by using presented uniting method and OpenGL. Chapter 4 summarizes this research, and describes future tasks.

To satisfy the above-mentioned demand, stereo vision with the digital camera, witch has features of noncontact, high safety, and simplicity, is effective. The stereo vision uses the principle of the triangulation, it is necessary to detect the same noteworthy point from two or more images. In this thesis, a color-histogram matching technique is proposed to get the measurement point from two stereo images. Moreover, in order to improve measurement accuracy, the measurement point correction method which uses edge information of the circumference of the measuring point is proposed. By use of the proposal technique the user’s operation error can be decreased. One side, industrial field, the speed and the accuracy of the measurement are often valued more than the reductions on the cost side. The 3-D measurement application that uses an industrial digital camera is effective. However, the handling method of an industrial camera is generally complex, have to use the soft- ―134― ware of the attachment for the camera control; there is a difficult problem with on-line measurement that cooperates with the measurement module originally developed. In this research, because the camera can be easily handled even in an industrial field, communication method and picture method and resolution, the camera control module to which two or more cameras can be controlled by one application is developed. This thesis is composed by four chapters. Chapter 1 describes the basic principle and the application of the 3-D image measurement. Chapter 2 describes the concrete content, the feature, and the development method of the 3-D image measurement application. Afterwards, the semiautomatic associating technique of the measurement points that uses the measurement point image coordinates correction technique and the color-histogram is described, and the experiment results are shown. Chapter 3 describes the camera control function necessary for 3-D image measurement, and shows the adjustment results of the camera and a consideration. Chapter 4 summarizes this research, and verifies the practicality of proposed 3-D image measurement application and camera control module by the experiment.

The APEOs released into the environment are known to be degraded to their short chain homologs and their corresponding carboxylic acids by the environmental microbes. The short chain homologs and the original alkylphenols are estrogenic and cause endocrine disrupting effects to aquatic organisims. We have been investigated for the degrading microbes in the environment. This study focused on the microbes that distribute in creek that spread over Saga plain. The enrichment culture using APEO as a sole carbon source was done for creek water. The plate culture afforded many colonies of the microbes that have APEO degrading ability. Although the colonies were conventionally screened by comparing their appearance, size and others, it is known that the different microbe can form colonies quite similar to each other. We measured the MatrixAssisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS) spectra of all colonies and made grouping by comparing the MALDI-MS spectra. It becomes apparent that the MALDI-MS is very powerful not only to identify the microbes but also to screen the characteristic microbe in the environment.

Energies of models for the molecules adsorbed on Ag colloidal particles were calculated, and the stabilization energies showed that these molecules adsorbed on the Ag colloidal surfaces. The diluted solutions of these molecules were added to the Ag colloidal solution, and it was examined to what extent of dilution the Raman bands were observed. On the basis of the experiments, it was clarified that these azine compounds were detected in such dilute solutions as the concentrations of about 2×10−6 mol/l by observing the Raman bands of SERS spectra using Ag colloidal solution. Keywords: azine compounds, silver colloidal solution, SERS spectra 副島英子:密度汎関数法による基準振動の計算値に関する新しい補正方法 Eiko Soejima: The new correction method for the normal vibrational frequencies calculated by the density functional theory After the vibrational spectra of molecules are measured, the assignments of normal vibrational modes for the spectral bands are performed by the aids of some calculations. Although the correspondences in observed values and calculated values of normal vibrational frequencies using the Gaussian program are becoming better, differences still exist between the observed and the calculated values. In this research, the scale factors for the calculated values of frequencies and the correction method by the use of quadratic correction equations were newly presented. These results were obtained by calculating the 3803 normal vibrations of 256 molecules by the density functional theory (the B3LYP method) with the basis sets 6-311++G(d,p), 6-311G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p), 631G(d,p), and 6-31G(d).

It is said that the spirits are better for health than other non-spirits. The consumption of the Shochu increased by a factor of 1.5 in ten years from 1995. It means the same rate of increase of the distillation waste fluid that results along with the Shochu production. The waste fluid has been used as the fertilizer, the raw material of methane fermentation and compost, the feedstuff and so on, and the rest of the waste fluid has been dumped in the sea. The London Convention 1972 is an international treaty that limits the discharge of wastes that are generated on land and disposed of at sea. The protocol to the London Dumping Convention in 1996 which obligates Japan, and other signatories, to conduct environmental impact assessments of marine dumping of waste materials. When the protocol will come into effect in near future, the dumping of the distillation waste fluid in the sea will be prohibited at the same time. It is, therefore, needed to dispose the waste fluid on land. The waste fluid accompanying with the Mugi-shochu production (a kind of Shochu made from barley) is known as a viscous liquid and it has high BOD value (60,000∼80,000 ppm) and SS value (20,000 ppm) and low pH value (3∼4). As the difficulty of solid-liquid separation of the waste fluid is the bottleneck of advanced use for the fluid, it is necessary to establish a new and facile separation method. Then we started to establish the facile solid-liquid separation method using most dirty Mugi-shochu waste fluid obtained from HIKARI-SHUZO CO. Ltd. The waste fluid was centrifuged at 2,000 g for 5 min. The supernatant was not clear and the transmittance of the supernatant was below 1% at 600 nm. Then the obtained supernatant was treated with several kinds of additives. A white carbon additive #80 produced from silicone dioxide was most effective in subsequent centrifugal separation. On the hand, an additive B419 produced from perlite, an amorphous volcanic glass was the most effective additive for filtration. Filtration seems to be excellent for scale up treatment. The amount of clear supernatant obtained by filtration treatment was 70% of the starting weight and the dry weight of the precipitates at the first centrifugal step was about 6%. The residual liquid was contained in the precipitates. The clear supernatant contains about 1,000 ppm of citric acid and the acid may be the reason of its low pH value. The precipitates were carbonized at 800° C in an electric furnace to give charcoal. The charcoal showed absorption activity to iodine by 80 mg/g and to methylene blue by 3 mg/g 箱田晋輔:MgB2超伝導バルクの臨界温度・臨界電流特性の評価 Shinsuke Hakoda: Estimation of critical temperature and critical current characteristics in superconducting MgB2 bulk In this study, superconducting MgB2 bulks were prepared by the PIT (powder in tube) method. The stainless tube (SUS316), which is considered playing an important role in the process of composing a pure MgB2, was used in the sample preparation. The MgB2 bulk samples with high density and high quality were obtained by employing an new approach, in which the stainless tube was pressed with high pressure and precursors were arranged based on the concept of the diffusion. In order to precisely and efficiently estimate the critical temperature (TC) and the critical current density (JC) in the samples, the dedicated programs of ac susceptibility measurement and ac inductive method (Campbell method) were developed by using LabVIEW programming environment running on a Windows PC. The result of TC measurement shows that all the samples have a TC value of about 40K, accompanied with a narrow transition less than 2K. On the other hand, the JC value in the sample processed under the optimized conditions turned out to be as large as 4 x 109 (A/m2) at 30K and 0.2T, which approximates to the champion data reported recently by some other groups. ―137― 柳 里恵:土壌細菌によるハロゲン化芳香族化合物の分解 Satoe Yanagi: Degradation ofhalogenated aromatic compound by isolated bacteria The halogenated aromatic compounds have been used for agricultural chemicals and bactericide, and these have the high toxicity. There is fear of influence to an ecosystem as the environmental pollutants because these are stable and have residual tendency at ground. Therefore 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) which is artificial phytohormone and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) were used as a model for study of degrading aromatic compounds. 19 kinds of isolated bacteria could be separated using medium with 2,4-D as a carbon source 71 soil samples. Almost isolated bacteria could degrade 60-80% of 2,4-D in 10 days, while no 2,4,5-T degrading bacteria could be isolated from the same samples.

Because ν-picoline molecules are well known to adsorb on the surfaces of Ag particles and to give the clear SERS spectra, ν-picoline was picked up among the pyridine derivatives and used as the testing molecule for SERS detection on the surfaces of Ag particles. Various kinds of Ag surfaces were tested whether the SERS phenomena were shown or not. And the Raman spectra was slightly enhanced on the surface of Ag particles prepared by silver mirror reaction.

As a result, the waveform of the ultrasonic wave becomes different from that of the injected ultrasonic wave. Therefore, the incident ultrasonic wave has harmonic frequency components for the same as ultrasonic wave that has penetrated into the material. However, the nonlinearity of a solid material is very small compared with that of a liquid medium, and a liquid medium with a high nonlinear efficiency has to must be used as a coupling medium, when we use a commercial type ultrasonic transducer. We then tried to use an electromagnetic acoustic transducer stet does not require a coupling medium.

Based on the method, those physical properties can be evaluated by shear force measurement by a digital electric balance and mean temperature difference measured by thermocouples. To verify the validity of the former method, a series of experiments have been performed so far for six kinds of silicone oil. Viscosity of liquids measured with newly prepared insulated heating plate unit. And fairly good results have been obtained for the kinematic viscosity ν of 10, 100 and 1000 mm2/s. However, concerning the lower kinematic viscosity ν of 1, 2 and 5 mm2/s, measured values were about two times higher than those put on a catalogue. To investigate the cause, two kinds of measuring vessels of Type-1 and Type-2 were prepared in the present study, which were designed to reduce the thermal plum effect. As a result, the effect of the thermal plume has been reduced almost by half. However, a few corrections are necessary to make at low viscosity. Therefore, measuring vessels of Type-3 was produced for correction. The approximation curve is made by using the measurement data obtained by Type-3. On the other hand, measurements of viscosity of liquids by using mean temperature difference have been performed to verify the validity of the latter method. From comparison of the measured results on the same to liquid, a fairly good agreement has been obtained. Furthermore, the measuring system is more simply composed.

However, the chipping in cutting edge caused by crystal cleavability is conspicuous, so that the tool can’t be adapted to the interrupted cutting of nonferrous materials. Tool manufacturing technique that can fabricate the sharp cutting edge of a micro-ball endmill 50 µm in tool tip radius was developed using cemented carbide, cBN, and PCD as a tool material to overcome the problem of single crystal diamond. In addition, machining tests of interrupted cutting using micro-ball endmill were conduced to the nonferrous and hard materials. ―139― It became obvious that a sharp cutting edge without chips could be fabricated when the ultra-fine resin-bonded diamond wheel SD32000P120B was used as a finishing tool to the tool materials with hardness less than 30 GPa HV. However, the toughness of the tool materials was not so high that the tool wear with micro chips generated in the process of interrupted cutting of the Brass 0.98 GPa HV. On the other hand, it was difficult to sharpen fine diamond grains of poly crystalline diamond 90 to 100 GPa HV, so that the sharp cutting edge could not be obtained when the PCD was used as a tool material. However, cutting test revealed that microcutting tools made of PCD were useful for the high-speed interrupted microcutting of nonferrous, brittle and hard materials.

Our laboratory focuses on the friction and wear characteristics of Al-Si alloy impregnated graphite composite (ALGR-MMC) that is expected to be used for such a sliding material. From the previous results, it has been known that under unlubricated conditions the wear rate of ALGR-MMC takes a minimum at the middle range of relative humidity (RH=50-60%) in air. In the present research, the friction and wear characteristics of ALGR-MMC are investigated in connection with environmental humidity dependency under drip-feed lubrication of base oil for engines. ALGR-MMC and its base materials (Al-Si alloy, graphite) were used for pin specimens and a bearing steel for disk specimens. The friction and wear characteristics of the pin in sliding contact with the disk under the drip-feed lubrication before each test were examined with a change in RH and amount of oil. From the test results, the wear rate of ALGR-MMC under the drip-feed lubrication is much less than that of under unlubricated conditions. In addition, the wear under the drip-feed lubrication is little influenced by humidity compared with the wear under the unlubricated conditions. It is known that high relative humidity prevents the Al-Si alloy from running out of oil. The graphite is superior to friction and wear at high humidity rather than at low humidity.

However, both the microgrinding tool with superior wear resistance and mirror-grinding techniques have not been developed so that the microgrinding at which a tool of small dimeter is rotated in high speed is not employed. A pressure copy truing that can fabricate sharp cutting edges of diamond grains on a wheel working surface into flat was conducted to electroformed diamond tools with fine grains #3000 in mesh size. It was verified through the truing test that displacement copy truing using grinding tool with fine diamond grains and superior wear resistance should be employed as a truer for the truing. Hence, the displacement copy truing using polycrystalline diamond PCD of 0.5 µm in sintered diamond grain size was conducted. A truing test to find out the best truing conditions that can fabricate tool working surface into smooth was conducted by varying surface roughness of the truer, revolution speed of the tool and truer, speed of orbital motion of the truer and the wheel depth of cut. It was verified through the test that the truer surface generated by the electrical discharge machining ―140― EDM should be flattened by grinding the truer’s surface in order to diminish scratches remained on the tool surface. In addition, truing conditions that can fabricate wheel working surface into smooth could be found out.

It can be remote controlled by infrared transmitter. Intersecting 4 wings, which consist of 2 pairs of wings, showing X-like front view, were driven by a pager motor of 4 mm in diameter. The static thrusts obtained by 4 wings was 30% larger than the doubled value of those obtained by 2 wings for the same flapping frequencies. It can be considered to be due to the “Clapping” effects of the butterfly. The electric energy to obtain the thrust of 2.35 g was 0.38 W, which is about three times larger than the theoretical value calculated by momentum jet theory. We have developed a new infrared receiver using microcomputer in order to measure the electric power consumption of the motor in the level flight.

One is well known curved ball, which is explained by air force of Magnus effects with ball rotation. The other is so called middle shot, which was to be famous is 2006 FIFA world cup. This ball flights in less spinning, but aerodynamic mechanism of this erratic ball is not clarified in this stage. In this study, we conducted this problem by free fall examination, image processing using TV sine and wind tunnel experiments. The Strouhal number in flight of soccer ball was near around 0.012, which value is smaller than smooth sphere 0.2 in sub-critical Reynolds number. The magnitude of unsteady air force measured by the wind tunnel experiments explained qualitatively as same as the real movements in flight. Flow around soccer ball is near around super-critical Reynolds number flow of smooth sphere by the seam existence of the ball surface. In this flow region, a horseshoe-shaped vortex on the rear surface of the sphere and a pair of stream wise line vortices ranging to far wake. This flow was explained by Taneda (1978), and successfully adopted of this soccer ball erratic behavior by this research.

We cannot then measure the stress at an arbitrary point on the tensile specimen. Thus, we have developed system that measures stress during tensile testing using an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT). First, we developed an EMAT that could drive S0-mode and A0-mode Lamb waves using the magnetostriction effect. Next, we designed and fabricated a two-dimensional scanner, its control system and a tensile specimen for stress measurement. It was confirmed that we could evaluate the stress with high precision when the traveling direction and displacement direction of the ultrasonic wave were the same. Finally, we demonstrated that we dimensional stress distributions using the new system.

Au atom in Si diffuses as interstitial Au and becomes substitutional Au. The Au atom kicks Si atom to interstitial site or enters into vacancy, and Au atom interchanges its site from interstitial to substitutional sites. An interstitial Si is generated and a vacancy disappears by this positional exchange. The substitutional Au exits in three states depending on the history of heat treatment: low-temperature substitutional Au, high-temperature substitutional Au, and agglomerations of substiturional Au. Au-pre-indiffused Si sample is reheated by ordinary annealing and continuous annealing methods. Supersaturated concentration of Au decreases to their thermal equilibrium value. The concentration profiles during the annealing are measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and isothermal capacitance transient spectroscopy (ICTS). Supersaturated Au diffuses to the surface and shows an out-diffusion profile, and small Au agglomerates are generated and their number and the size depend on the cooling speed and annealing time.

In order to advance such research, the magnetizing-properties data of the iron core material under various magnetization conditions is required. When based on manual measurement, it is desirable to become complicated by the measurement under various conditions, and to perform automatic measurement. So, automation of the magnetic measurement system was tackled in this paper. It aimed at everyone’s performing control of a magnetic flux wave by the program of PC simply using the apparatus which can be constituted. Moreover, since the integrator incorporated into a system was an important portion when it determined the measurement accuracy of a system, the accuracy examination was also performed simultaneously.

A study to promote computerization of surikomi-senshoku into cloth dyeing ing tsumugi industry has been studying lately. A study of dyeing method that uses ink-jet system has been tried. However, the traditional ink-jet system has easily clogged at the nozzle with dye, and not practically available yet. In this study, an application of electro-statically extracted ink-jet system has been tried. This is because of big nozzle at inner diameter can be allowed in this system. Since “Tsumugi” was hardly obtained at first stage, dye was utilized either on recording paper or on OHP films. It is needed to dye of about 1 mm width on tsumugi. We have leared that the recording width of dye become less than 1 mm, which is useful in such purposes. Then, dyeing has been tried by using real Tsumugi at the next stage. We have leared that the effectiveness of the Tsumugi dyeing by using electro-statically extracted ink-jet system was remarkable of its specific application.

However, it takes a long time to create them and they are far from real images. In addition, it is not easy for novice users to navigate 3D virtual environments. Therefore, we have developed a map-based cubic panorama system where the panorama-based virtual environments cooperate with a hierarchical map in vector form, and we have opened it to the public on the Web. This paper proposes a text annotation method for the panoramabased virtual environments, and an annotation support system is constructed. In addition, it proposes a method that estimates the camera position of a panorama from an existing cubic panorama and the related map without using an expensive positional measuring instrument.

Since the operation is usually performed by dragging a 2D mouse or pushing arrow keys, it is difficult and time consuming for novice users. Most of existing VRML viewers provide users with the function that sets cameras (viewpoints) to any objects and switches them. However, this function has a problem that a viewpoint moves to the next target object momentarily or unnaturally. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a graph-based automatic navigation method for 3D virtual environments that enables users to walk through the shortest path without colliding with other objects from a present place to a target object. Moreover, an experimental virtual art gallery is created to show the effectiveness of our proposed method.

In the first experiment, the subject evaluated healing impression about tempo of simple sound. In the next experiment, the subject evaluated healing impression about the musical tempo, in addition we measured the heart rate of subject during experiment. As a result, sound stimulus to have tempo equivalent to heart rate at the time of rest showed tendency healed most. Result of this study is useful for composition of healing music.

Moreover, the auto-associative neural network is not enough studied about memory and restoration rate of a character string.

We capture traffic data flowing through a network and we make the data a graph in a VT (Variance-Time) plot and examine correlative structure. We give a network various background load to let an image deteriorate. Deterioration of an image changed by a ratio of load and compared a difference of correlative structure. In addition, we examined influence when we changed buffer time without giving load. As a result, we understood that we could detect presence of deterioration of an image and a difference of buffer time by a difference of correlative structure.

Those CPUs are not only available high performance power, but also enable to port programs and to use peripherals developed for IBM-PC so far, but CPUs had a weak point of high power consumption. As new x86CPUs suppressed power consumption are being developed, they will be more adopted on embedded systems. In order to develope embedded computer systems easily, we need a small operating system which works as an interface between CPU and application programs. So we have developed small operating system for CPU of x86-architecture. The system have functions of memory management, graphical user interface, memory protection by using descriptor and interrupt management.

The self-organization neural network is used to obtain the indexes of compressed logo image. The indexes are embedd to the original image as the watermark. The discrete wavelet transform is applied for improving the robustness of various attacks like JPEG compression. Moreover, the extracting ratio of watermark is improved by applying the huffman coding.

If terrains are generated automatically using a random fractal, the data size can be greatly decreased. In this paper, four shapes of base planes to that the middle point displacement method is applied are examined and compared. Moreover, this paper examines and compares the features of automatically generated terrains when the decrease equation of the maximum value of the uniform random number used in the middle point displacement method and the initial and final value of the maximum value are changed respectively. Finally, new VRML node “FractalTerrain” is defined using “PROTO” of the VRML, so that everyone can easily make use of the terrain generation function that is implemented in our experimental system.

In the last few years we have observed an explosive growth of multimedia computing, communication and applications over the Internet. Also, in wireless networks, the speed is increasing and in near future will be over100Mb/s. In order to deal with increasing speed of today networks, the algorithms, methods and mechanisms should have a fast decision, be flexible, adaptive and intelligent. The architectures and algorithms in high speed networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus on new models and methods which can enable the network to perform adaptive behavior in order to manage the increasing usage demands, provide support for a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization of network resources. In our previous work, we proposed an intelligent routing and CAC strategy using cooperative agents. However, we only considered the time delay for the routing. In this work, we extend our previous work by proposing and implementing new algorithms based on Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) which use for CAC and routing many QoS parameters. By using a cache method, the routing algorithm can converge very fast. The simulation results show that proposed framework has a good performance and can be sealed up by increasing the number of domains.

However, it is important to estimate propagation path in urban areas from the viewpoint of an effective utilization of the radio wave resources. So far we have investigated the diffracted fields by the parallel edges of the building roof. These results, however, are not sufficient, since the edges of buildings are not always parallel. In this paper, we analyze the diffracted fields by two edges which form two wedges on a building roof with an arbitrary angle. The numerical calculations are carried out for the perfect conductor and concrete wedges considering the effect of the reflection from a ground plane. Numerical results show that the orthogonal field components become strong when the angle of the two edges increases.

The Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP) Method is newly gathering interests, because the error diffusion by space discretization is smaller than FDTD method. The CIP is a kind of differencial method like FDTD, but solving advection equations which are derived after operations of describing equations of problem. The calculation is done for the value of function and the derivative at each discrete grid point by using cubic polynomial. In this master thesis, electromagnetic plane wave propagation is analyzed by CIP method. Reflection and transmission characteristics at dielectric medium boundary are calculated for several cases, and compared with results of FDTD method and exact solutions in detail. Throughout the calculated results, a criterion for time and space discretization in CIP method was found with respect to Courant criteria in FDTD.

Digital image data from these cameras and other video sources are processed and stored in the databases or computers. There are too ways to retrieve the target image in the large amount of images; one ways image characterization of the image itself and the other dose meta data of the images. This paper presents a new Clothes Image Retrieval System which uses the former image characteristics of the customers preference. By changing the threshold values of the RGB color range corresponding the customers preference, the hit ratio of the target image can be improved and searched effectively. Experimental results of the prototype retrieval system show better retrieval characteristics and effectiveness of the proposed retrieval image algorithm is confirmed.

The mobile systems are based on cellular approach and the area is covered by cells that overlap each other. In mobile cellular systems, when the frequency band is high, because of the existing obstacles, the intensity of electric field decreases. This causes the dead spot phenomenon. To deal with this issue, when there are more than two Base Stations (BS) that communicate with a mobile terminal, the selection of BS for communication by the handover algorithm is a very important problem. The handover process refers to the mechanism by which an ongoing call is transferred from one BS to another. In the previous work, during the handover process if the threshold is small, the ping-pong problem happens. In this thesis, we propose a new handover algorithm based on fuzzy theory. The handover decision is done by BS based on the received signal strength of mobile terminal. In the simulations, for the measurement of the field strength we employ a simplified model for propagation in urban areas considering only the direct and reflected waves. We set up the parameters for BS and mobile users and investigate the behavior of the mobile users for different scenarios. The performance evaluation via simulations shows that the proposed system can avoid the ping-pong effect and can decrease the network load.

The S-type shaped passage is one of the complex structures that are applied in many buildings recently. To consider the propagation of electromagnetic waves when line sources are located inside such S-type shaped passages are very important for development of mobile technologies. In this work, the walls of the S-type shaped passages are defined the shield walls which contain frameworks. The study has been progressed by comparing the numerical findings obtained by numerical analyses and experiment using scaled models. Note that, the experiments has been carried out supplying microwaves as a line source inside the scaled model whose passages are produced by concrete which is a famous building material.

In this master thesis, propagation and transmission characteristics of photonic crystal waveguide, which was realized by line defect in the periodic structure, are experimentally studied. First, a model of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide in 4 GHZ microwave frequency, which was made of aluminum plate and ceramic dielectric, was fabricated. The characteristics were measured for following structures; (1) single, straight waveguide with/without absorber, (2) cavities in waveguide, (3) directional coupler, (4) bent waveguides. In experiment (1), the dispersion curve was evaluated and the stop band was observed. In (2), the resonance frequencies for a few cavity lengths were observed and Q-value was evaluated. The resonance is well interpreted from the wavelength in the waveguide. In (3) and (4), the transmission characteristics were compared with the results of FDTD simulation. The results have shown fairly good agreement in (3). However in (4), the stop band was not agreed. Throughout this study, in most cases, the experiment by a model in microwave frequency is helpful to understand the performance of photonic crystal waveguide.

However, the ability of wireless systems to accommodate expected growth of traffic load and broadband services is limited by available radio frequency spectrum. Call Admission Control (CAC) is one of the resource management functions, which regulates network access to ensure QoS provisioning. However, the decision for CAC is very challenging issue due to user mobility, limited radio spectrum, and multimedia traffic characteristics. To deal with these problems, in this paper, we propose a fuzzy CAC system. We compare the performance of the proposed system with Shadow Cluster Concept (SCC). We evaluate by simulation the performance of the proposed system. The proposed system has a good behavior on deciding the number of accepted connections while keeping the QoS for serving connections. Also, it has better performance than SCC.

As the conventional experimental measurement, photographs have been repeatedly taken by shadowgraph method through changing the release time of shutter of high speed camera. After the deposition, the shock wave pressure was estimated by many photographs with different release time. As is confirmed in the shadowgraph method, the shock wave generates the dielectric (or refractive index) profile around the wave front. In this study, measurement of the dielectric profile formed by laser induced shock wave through observation of scattered light of continuous reference laser beam is proposed. It is assumed that the dielectric profile is Gaussian and the scattering of continuous reference beam is simulated by two-dimensional FDTD method. As a result, it is confirmed that by observing the change of peaks of scattered reference laser with video image of high speed camera, the relative dielectric constant εr with range from 3 to 20 could be distinguished. The proposed method will drastically reduce the time and cost of estimation of pressure of laser induced shock wave.

This means that the received power at a certain distance is the same for all directions. But this is not the ease encountered in real hardware. Recently, the importance of considering more accurate models has been shown to be a key factor on establishing the performance of MAC and routing protocols in ad-hoc and sensor networks. In this thesis, we show that the analysis of such a network by simulation is not trivial when one uses more realistic radio models. We emphasize this problem by comparing the impact of realistic simulations on the study of infrastructure trade-offs of sensors networks. As expected, simulations confirm that more advanced simulation techniques are required in order to take into account wireless channel models and too bound the simulation time as well. Furthermore, we study the interdependence of these metrics and the scaling factor of the network size and shape, simulation results confirm the fact that the shadowing phenomena, by destroying the regularity of the network, reduce the mean distance among nodes and at the same time increase the interference level and the latency of packet transmission.

Generally, NSA is calculated by GO (geometrical optics) as the transmission loss between the sending and receiving antennas above an infinite ground plane. However, an open site is constructed on a finite conducting ground plane. Therefore, diffracted fields from the edges of the finite ground plane and its peripheral ground should be considered. In this paper, the effect of size of rectangular conducting plane on NSA is considered by the Hybrid method (Moment method + GTD (Geometrical Theory of Diffraction)). And NSA is calculated numerically considering the peripheral ground, then the results are compared NSA on an infinite conducting plane and the rectangular conducting plane which is floated. These results show that the rectangular conducting plane on the ground is understood, for both horizontally and vertically polarized waves, the effect of edge diffraction is small. And as steadily enlarging the conducting plane, the effect of the edge diffraction becomes small. The influence of the edge diffraction on the dry ground is larger than on the damp or standard ground.

The learning process of the cooperative behavior of two or more agents was observed in consideration of the depth of agent’s view and the setting of the reward. Simulation results show that the number of episode necessary for the generation of the cooperative action depends on the depth of agent’s view and the best effective strategy after cooperation is to distribute even reward to each agent.

So, we can obtain many types of image data. By analyzing those with the data fusion technique, we can acquire the detailed information of the earth’s environment. These images, however, usually have relative discrepancy due to their own geometrical property. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the relative discrepancy from the image data before analyzing them. In this study, we propose an automated registration method for multisensor image data. This method automatically estimates the linear discrepancies based on the ratio of spatial resolution, the relative rotation and shift among multisensor images using coss correlation technique. To the remaining discrepancies after removing them, corresponding point pairs are automatically generated using the spatial correlation technique. Finally, the image are precisely registered with gradated point pairs. In this thesis, the principle and the procedure of our proposed method are described.
