Application of condition-based HRA method for a manual actuation of the safety features in a nuclear power Plant

A practical approach to develop a more realistic fault-tree model with a consideration of various conditions endured by a human operator is proposed. In safety-critical systems, the generation failure of an actuation signal is caused by the concurrent failures of the automated systems and an operator action. These two sources of safety signals are complicatedly correlated. The failures of sensors or automated systems will cause a lack of necessary information for a human operator and result in error-forcing contexts such as the loss of corresponding alarms and indications. It is well known that the error-forcing contexts largely affect the operator's performance. An automated system which consists of multiple processing channels and complex components is also affected by the availability of the sensors. This paper proposes a condition-based human reliability assessment (CBHRA) method in order to address these complicated conditions in a practical way. We apply the CBHRA method to the manual actuation of the safety features such as a reactor trip and auxiliary feedwater actuation in Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plants. Even the human error probability of each given condition is simply assumed, the application results prove that the CBHRA effectively accommodates the complicated error-forcing contexts into the fault trees.     

附加励磁阻尼控制抑制次同步谐振研究

基于阻尼特性分析对抑制次同步振荡的附加励磁系统阻尼控制器（SEDC）进行了详细研究。首先基于IEEE次同步谐振第一标准测试系统及IEEE ST1A型励磁系统设计相应的SEDC。采用测试信号法，通过计算发电机组的次同步电气阻尼特性，分析所设计的SEDC对发电机组次同步振荡的抑制效果。结果表明，SEDC在不采用带通滤波器的方式下，将转速偏差经适当移相及放大，通过对励磁电压的调节，可以提供足够的阻尼转矩抑制次同步谐振;采用带通滤波器可大大提高通带频率对应的电气阻尼，同时对多个模态采用带通滤波，可以同时提高各个扭振频率处的电气阻尼，有利于次同步谐振的抑制。

利用Hilbert-Huang变换提取地震信号瞬时参数

 通过Hilbert变换求取的信号瞬时参数并非对任何信号都有物理意义，此法通常要求被分析信号是窄带或平稳的，而且对噪声很敏感。而实际地震信号既非平稳又含有噪声，若在实际应用中不加考虑地对地震信号进行Hilbert变换以求取瞬时参数，这种情况下求取的瞬时参数将缺乏物理意义甚至失真。Hilbert-Huang变换是一种新的分析非平稳非线性信号的方法，它先将信号进行经验模态分解（EMD），形成有限个固有模态函数（IMF）之和，再对固有模态函数作Hilbert变换求取时频谱，求取的时频谱在时域和频域都具有较高的分辨率。本文将Hilbert-Huang变换应用于地震瞬时参数的提取，实例表明，对地震剖面做EMD可以得到不同时间尺度上的特征，Hilbert谱比传统的时频谱在时间和频率域上的分辨率都要高，强反射层在第1阶IMF瞬时频率剖面上比原瞬时频率剖面上表现得更为明显。

The mirror effect and mixture signal detection theory.

The mirror effect for word frequency refers to the finding that low-frequency words have higher hit rates and lower false alarm rates than high-frequency words. This result is typically interpreted in terms of conventional signal detection theory (SDT), in which case it indicates that the order of the underlying old item distributions mirrors the order of the new item distributions. However, when viewed in terms of a mixture version of SDT, the order of hits and false alarms does not necessarily imply the same order in the underlying distributions because of possible effects of mixing. A reversal in underlying distributions did not appear for fits of mixture SDT models to data from 4 experiments. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Statistical Tolerance Analysis for Assured Analog Test Coverage

Increasing numbers of analog components in today's systems necessitate system level test composition methods that utilize on-chip capabilities rather than solely relying on costly DFT approaches. We outline a tolerance analysis methodology for test signal propagation to be utilized in hierarchical test generation for analog circuits. A detailed justification of this proposed novel tolerance analysis methodology is undertaken by comparing our results with detailed SPICE Monte-Carlo simulation data on several combinations of analog modules. The results of our experiments confirm the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed tolerance analysis methodology.     

A Detection-Theoretic Model of Echo Inhibition.

A detection-theoretic analysis of the auditory localization of dual-impulse stimuli is described, and a model for the processing of spatial cues in the echo pulse is developed. Although for over 50 years "echo suppression" has been the topic of intense theoretical and empirical study within the hearing sciences, only a rudimentary understanding of its mechanisms has emerged. In this article, psychometric functions and results from matching studies are used in developing a model that specifies the perceived position of the echo pulse as a normal deviate, with an expectation that is a logistic function of the echo delay and a variance that depends on interaural time difference. Loss of information in the echo event is quantified as a decline in the efficiency with which the binaural system receives information from the lag impulse.
