A fast minimum variance beamforming method using principal component analysis

SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control

Minimum variance (MV) beamforming has been studied for improving the performance of a diagnostic ultrasound imaging system. However, it is not easy for the MV beamforming to be implemented in a real-time ultrasound imaging system because of the enormous amount of computation time associated with the covariance matrix inversion. In this paper, to address this problem, we propose a new fast MV beamforming method that almost optimally approximates the MV beamforming while reducing the computational

Predictors for Functional Recovery and Mortality of Surgically Treated Traumatic Acute Subdural Hematomas in 256 Patients
Kyu Hong Kim
SJR Q2Journal of Korean Neurosurgical SocietyOA

Functional recovery was more likely to be achieved in patients who were under 40 years of age, victims of motor vehicle collision and having preoperative reactive pupils, higher GCS score and the absence of ABS during surgery. These results would be helpful for neurosurgeon to improve outcomes from traumatic acute subdural hematomas.

SJR Q2Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part F Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit

The aerodynamic properties of a pantograph that is under consideration for application on Korean high-speed trains are experimentally investigated. The selected experimental models were one-quarter scale pantographs (a double-arm pantograph, single-arm pantograph and a periscope pantograph) with either a rectangular panhead or a panhead with an optimized streamlined shape. To increase the performance and the robustness of the pantograph, the drag coefficient and the fluctuation of the lift coeff

Navier-Stokes Computation of Flows in Arc Heaters
Kyu Hong Kim, Oh Hyun Rho, Chul B. Park
SJR Q2Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer

The existing computer code ARCFLO, which calculates the flow through the constricted-arc heater, is modified and expanded by the use of the modern computational fluid dynamics technique. The entire flowfield within an arc-heated wind tunnel, that is, from the upstream electrode chamber to the nozzle exit, is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, but the joule heating and radiative transfer phenomena are described as in the ARCFLO code. The modeling of turbulence in the constrictor region is
