Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a simple method to measure magnetic susceptibility of arbitrarily shaped materials through MR imaging and numerical modeling. Materials and Methods: Our 3D printed phantom consists of a lower compartment filled with a gel (gel part) and an upper compartment for placing a susceptibility object (object part). The $B_0$ maps of the gel with and without the object were reconstructed from phase images obtained in a 3T MRI scanner. Then, their difference was compared with a numerically modeled $B_0$ map based on the geometry of the object, obtained by a separate MRI scan of the object possibly immersed in an MR-visible liquid. The susceptibility of the object was determined by a least-squares fit. Results: A total of 18 solid and liquid samples were tested, with measured susceptibility values in the range of -12.6 to 28.28 ppm. To confirm accuracy of the method, independently obtained reference values were compared with measured susceptibility when possible. The comparison revealed that our method can determine susceptibility within approximately 5%, likely limited by the object shape modeling error. Conclusion: The proposed gel-phantom-based susceptibility measurement may be used to effectively measure magnetic susceptibility of MR-compatible samples with an arbitrary shape, and can enable development of various MR engineering parts as well as test biological tissue specimens.

This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of overwrap, vacuum, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on poultry breast fillets' microbiological, biochemical shelf life and sensory attributes. The fillets were divided into 4 groups, and each of the treatments was replicated 3 times with 60 breast fillets. The first group was a control group with overwrap packaging; the second group was vacuum packed (VP); the third and fourth groups were MAP-1: 0% O₂, 40% CO₂, 60% N₂, and MAP-2: 20% O₂, 40% CO₂, 40% N₂. The microbiological and biochemical analyses were performed for the total viable count, coliform count, Pseudomonas count, Salmonella count, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), pH, cooking loss, color, lipid oxidation, tenderness, and sensory analysis. The data were analysed through two-way ANOVA by Minitab (Minitab 17.3.1). Meat treated with understudy MAP compositions and vacuum packaging reduced total viable count, Pseudomonas count, and total coliform count than control (p<0.05). TVB-N remained below the recommended limit throughout storage except aerobic packaging (p<0.05). Cooking loss (%) was lowered and showed non-significant results (p>0.05) between vacuum packaging and both MAP concentrations. The meat stored in MAP-2 was characterised by higher (p<0.05) visual scores. Whilst MAP-1 showed higher (p<0.05) L^* values and overall acceptability. Sample packaged under aerobic packaging showed significant (p<0.05) results for b^* and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Meat stored in aerobic packaging showed higher (p<0.05) shear force values. The outcome of this trial may help to promote the application of understudy MAP compositions and rapid detection of microbes by biochemical analysis under local conditions.

본 논문에서는 영상 전송을 위한 벡터 양자화기를 설계할 때 2차원 DCT에 근거한 DCT 맵과 유한상태 벡터 양자화를 이용하는 새로운 부호책(codebook) 설계 알고리듬을 제안한다. 영상을 윤곽선이 많은 부분과 적은 부분으로 나누어 맵을 만들고 이 맵에 따라 영상의 중요한 특징들을 2차원 DCT로 추출한다. 유한상태 벡터 양자화기의 마스터 부호책은 트리 구조에 근거한 2진 트리를 사용하여 두 영역을 따로 학습세트로 나눔으로서 만들어진다. 이와 같이 작성된 마스터 부호책으로부터 상태 부호책을 작성하여 입력 벡터에 대하여 마스터 부호책이 아닌 상태 부호책으로부터 부호단어를 찾는다. 또한 인덱스의 부호화는 고속 디지털 전송에 중요한 부분이기 때문에 고정길이의 부호를 엔트로피 부호화 법칙에 따라 가변 길이의 부호로 바꾸어 수행한다. 즉, 설계한 부호책에서 각 부호에 전송 부호 할당은 허프만 부호화를 수행하는데, 허프만 트리에서의 허프만 코드의 생성을 빠르게 하기 위해 본 논문에서는 트리의 단방향 분포 허프만 트리 알고리듬을 제안한다. Einstein과 Bridge 영상에 대하여 본 알고리듬으로 영상을 부호화했을 때 PNN 알고리듬보다는 각각 2.94 dB과 2.48 dB만큼, CVQ 알고리듬보다 각각 약 1.75 dB과 0.99dB만큼 더 좋은 영상의 화질을 얻을 수 있었다.

로그 맵 복호 알고리즘 기반의 터보 디코더는 뛰어난 복호 성능에도 불구하고, 반복적 연산으로 인한 인터리버 크기에 비례하는 많은 양의 메모리와 높은 하드웨어 복잡도가 단점으로 지적된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이전 연구 결과를 바탕으로 많은 양의 메모리의 절감과 하드웨어 복잡도를 감소시킨 3G W-CDMA 시스템에 적합한 터보 디코더를 설계하였다. 하드웨어 복잡도와 복호 성능간의 균형을 고려하여 수신정보, 사전정보, 상태 메트릭을 각각 5비트, 6비트 그리고 7비트로 할당하였고, 로그 맵 복호 알고리즘의 주연산인 $MAX^{*}$ 연산 중 계산도가 큰 오류 보정 함수를 근사화한 조합회로로 구성하여 하드웨어 부담을 감소하였으며 윈도우 블록의 길이가 32인 슬라이딩 윈도우 기법을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 터보 디코더는 $0.35\mu$m Hynix CMOS technology로 합성한 합성 결과로부터 Eb/No가 1dB, 인터리버 크기가, 5번의 반복 복호에서 $10^{-6}$ 이하의 비트 오율을 달성하였으며, 이때 최고 9Mbps의 복호 성능을 발휘한다.

In space based constellation network, users are allowed to enter or leave the network arbitrarily. Hence, the number, identities and transmitted data of active users vary with time and have considerable impacts on the receiver's performance. The so-called problem of multiuser detection means identifying the identity of each active user and detecting the data transmitted by each active user. Traditional methods assume that the number of active users is equal to the maximum number of users that the network can hold. The model of traditional methods are simple and the performance are suboptimal. In this paper a Maximum A Posteriori Probability (MAP) based multiuser detection method is proposed. The proposed method models the activity state of users as Markov chain and transforms multiuser detection into searching optimal path in grid map with BCJR algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method obtains 2.6dB and 1dB E_b/N₀ gains respectively when activity detection error rate and symbol error rate reach 10^-3, comparing with reference methods.

Isophote map and luminosity profile of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7755 are obtained from PDS scanning of PAL 0-471 plate. From the isophote map, NGC 7755 can be classified SBbc(r) with asymmetric bar ring. We get several physical parameters $({M_T}^\circ,U(R)_{CB},U(R)_{CD},D/B,C_{jj},M/L)$ of NGC 7755 from the analysis of the luminosity distribution.

Polarization of the light reflected off the Moon provides information on the size and composition of the particles in the lunar regolith. The mean particle size of the regolith can be estimated from the combination of the albedo and degree of polarization, while the color ratio of the parallel-component polarization (CP) has been suggested to be related to the amount of nanophase metallic iron (npFe^0) inside the regolith particles. Both the mean size and npFe^0 abundance of the particles have been used as maturity indicators of the regolith since sustained impacts of high energy particles and micro-meteoroids cause comminution of particles and production of npFe^0. Based on our multispectral polarimetric observations of the whole near side of the Moon in the U, B, V, R, and I bands, we compare the maps of the mean particle size, CP, and the optical maturity (OM). We find that the mean particle size map is sensitive to the most immature (~0.1 Gyr) soil, the OP map to the intermediate immaturity (a few 0.1 Gyr) soil, and the CP map to the least immature (~1 Gyr) soil.

We present the far-ultraviolet fluorescent molecular hydrogen ($H_2$) emission map observed with FIMS/SPEAR for ~76% of the sky. The fluorescent $H_2$ emission is found to be saturated by strong dust extinction at the optically thick, Galactic plane region. However, the extinction-corrected intensity of fluorescent $H_2$ emission is found to have strong linear correlations with the well-known tracers of the cold interstellar medium, such as the E(B-V) color excess, neutral hydrogen column density N(HI), $H{\alpha}$ emission, and CO $J=1{\rightarrow}0$ emission. The all-sky molecular hydrogen column density map is also obtained using a photodissociation region model. We also derive the gas-to-dust ratio, hydrogen molecular fraction ($f_{H2}$), and $CO-to-H_2$ conversion factor ($X_{CO}$) of the diffuse interstellar medium. The gas-to-dust ratio is consistent with the standard value $5.8{\times}10^{21}atoms\;cm^{-2}mag^{-1}$, and the $X_{CO}$ tends to increase with E(B-V), but converges to the Galactic mean value $1.8{\times}10^{20}cm^{-2}K^{-1}km^{-1}s$ at optically thick regions with E(B-V)>2.0.

본 논문은 다시점 카메라로부터 획득된 영상을 이용하여 영상내의 모든 화소에 대한 정확한 변이 정보를 구하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 객체의 경계 정보를 고려하여 초기 변이를 예측한 후 획득된 변이 정보를 이용하여 탐색 범위를 줄임으로 써 효율적으로 변이를 예측한다. 또한 가변 블록을 사용하여 텍스쳐 정보가 부족한 영역과 경계부분에서 발생하는 오정합 문제를 줄일 수 있다. 획득된 변이 맵 정보를 이용하여 중간시점영상을 생성한 결과 기존의 블록기반 변이 추정방식과 화소기반의 변이 예측방식에 비해 $0.1dB{\sim}1.2dB$의 PSNR(Peak signal to noise ratio)이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) belongs to the family of receptor tyrosine kinase. They play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, development, migration, survival, wound healing, haematopoiesis and tumorigenesis. FGFRs are reported to cause several types of cancers in humans which make it an important drug target. In the current study, HQSAR analysis was performed on a series of recently reported 1H-Pyrazolo [3,4-b]pyridine derivatives as FGFR antagonists. The model was developed with Atom (A) and bond (B) connection (C), chirality (Ch), hydrogen (H) and donor/acceptor (DA) parameters and with different set of atom counts to improve the model. A reasonable HQSAR model ($q^2=0.701$, SDEP=0.654, NOC=5, $r^2=0.926$, SEE=0.325, BHL=71) was generated which showed good predictive ability. The contribution map depicted the atom contribution in inhibitory effect. A contribution map for the most active compound (compound 24) indicated that hydrogen and nitrogen atoms in the side chains of ring B as well as hydrogen atoms in the side chain of ring C and the nitrogen atom in the ring D contributed positively to the activity in inhibitory effect whereas, the lowest active compound (compound 04) showed negative contribution to inhibitory effect. Thus results of our study can provide insights in the designing potent and selective FGFR kinase inhibitors.
