Real-time information on vehicle queue at intersections is essential for optimal traffic signal control, which is substantial part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Computer vision is also potentially an important element in the foundation of integrated traffic surveillance and control systems. The objective of this research is to propose a method for detecting an exact queue lengths at signalized intersections using image processing techniques and a neural network model Fuzzy ARTMAP, which is a supervised and self-organizing system and claimed to be more powerful than many expert systems, genetic algorithms. and other neural network models like Backpropagation, is used for recognizing different patterns that come from complicated real scenes of a car park. The experiments have been done with the traffic scene images at intersections and the results show that the method proposed in the paper could be efficient for the noise, shadow, partial occlusion and perspective problems which are inevitable in the real world images.

Road identification is the important task for extracting a road region from the high-resolution satellite images, when the road candidates is extracted by the pre-processing tasks using a binarization, noise removal, and color processing. Therefore, we propose a noble approach for identifying a road using the orientation-selective spatial filters, which is motivated by a computational model of neuron cells found in the primary visual cortex. In our approach, after the neuron cell typed spatial filters is applied to the isolated connected-labeling road candidate regions, proposed method identifies the region of perceiving the strong orientation feature with the real road region. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the accuracy&error ratio in the confusion matrix was measured from road candidates including road and non-road class. As a result, the proposed method shows the more than 92% accuracy.

This study proposes a novel option strategy by using characteristic of volatility reversion and rough set algorithm in options market. Until now, various research has been conducted on stock and future markets, but minimal research has been done in options market. Particularly, research on the option trading strategy using high frequency data is limited. This study consists of two purposes. The first is to enjoy a profit using volatility reversion model when volatility gap is occurred. The second is to pursue a more stable profit by filtering inaccurate entry point through rough set algorithm. Since options market is affected by various elements like underlying assets, volatility and interest rate, the point of this study is to hedge elements except volatility and enjoy the profit following the volatility gap.

The porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) without immunorejection responses and hyalunonic acid (HA) can be used as biomaterials. In this study, we tried to design and characterize novel sponge. SIS- HA sponge was prepared by freeze-drying after addition 1wt% HA solution into fabricated SIS sponge. Sponge was crosslinked with 1-ethyl-(3-3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) solution with 100mM concentration for 24 hrs and lyophilized. SIS-HA sponge was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectrometer. And water absorption ability of sponge was evaluated. We seeded NIH/3T3 cells in SIS-HA sponge and cellular attachment was assayed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltertazolium-bromide (MTT) test. We demonstrated presence of HA in SIS-HA sponge from C-O functional group observed by the FT-IR analysis. Moreover, we confirmed low cytotoxicity and high cell viability of the SIS-HA sponges. Therefore, we could expect that SIS- HA scaffolds are applicable for the tissue regeneration.

도시 유역의 강우-유출 모의에는 지표 투수율 및 하수관거 영향 등 인위적 배수계통의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 도시유출모형이 널리 이용되고 있으며, 모형 검증을 통해 모의 성능을 평가한다. 도시유출모형의 검증은 일반적인 강우-유출 모형과 같이 강우사상별 유량의 관측시계열과 모의시계열의 목적함수가 최소가 되는 최적 매개변수를 탐색하는 과정이다. 도시유출모형의 검증에서 발생하는 문제점은 크게 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대규모 도시 유역의 복잡하고 다양한 하수관거에 대한 최적매개변수를 관거별로 구하는 것은 물리적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 동일 배수분구내 하수관거의 매개변수 값은 동일하다고 가정하거나, 모형 단순화 과정을 통해 매개변수의 물리적 범위 내에서 최적해를 탐색해야 하는 단순화에서 기인한 불확실성이 있다. 둘째, 다양한 매개변수들의 물리적 범위를 고려하기 위해서는 전역최적화기법이 유효하다. 그러나 전역최적화 종류, 목적함수, 모의횟수, 목표성능별 최적 매개변수 결과가 각각 다르므로 추정된 최적 매개변수의 범위에 대한 불확실성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Bayesian 모형과 EPA SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)을 연계하여 도시유출모형의 매개변수 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 모형을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울 우이천 유역을 대상으로 SWMM 모형을 구축하고, 절단 정규분포(truncated Gaussian distribution)를 사전분포(prior)로 가정하여 매개변수의 물리적 범위를 고려하였다. 최종적으로 결합확률분포로 계산된 각 매개변수간 사후분포를 통해 모의된 유출량의 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모형은 대규모 도시 유역의 도시유출모형 구축 시 다양한 매개변수의 물리적 범위를 고려한 최적화와 동시에 내재된 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있으므로, 침수예측 및 홍수예경보 등의 문제에서 상당한 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

ROK has a lot to benchmark from how Ukraine is fighting Russia back with its tactical wins. They have taken a targeted strategy to strike Russia's top generals with high precision. To carry out this strategy, Ukraine is operating a Special Operations Force, which utilizes US/NATO forces, civilian and own resources for maximum impact. Of note, they utilize Starlink for seamless connection from detection, decision-making to strike to maximize operational efficiency. As ROK faces security threat of weapons of mass destruction, Ukraine's military intelligence organization set-up, weapons system and operations can provide some guidance on how to leverage its various SOF as well.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered promising energy storage devices with good performance such as high energy density, slow self-discharge rate, high rate charge capacity, and long battery life. However, the application of these LIBs in the high-energy density electric vehicle and large device industries poses a major safety problem. In order to solve this problem, developing a material having high thermal stability and intrinsic safety is the ultimate solution for improving the stability and electrochemical performance of LIBs. This review introduced a surface modification technology of a separator to overcome the stability problem of a commercial separator, and summarized and summarized the research trends using the modified separator for a lithium-ion battery. Based on this, the future prospects for the separator development by surface modification were discussed.

This study aims to design an integral instruction method that follows the Abstraction in Context (AiC) framework proposed by Hershkowitz, Schwarz, and Dreyfus to help students in acquiring in-depth understanding of the relationship between indefinite integrals and definite integrals and to analyze how the students' understanding improved as a result. To this end, we implemented lessons according to the integral instruction method designed for eight 11th grade students in a science high school. We recorded and analyzed data from graded student worksheets and transcripts of classroom recordings. Results show that students comprehend three knowledge elements regarding relationship between indefinite integral and definite integral: the instantaneous rate of change of accumulation function, the calculation of a definite integral through an indefinite integral, and The determination of indefinite integral by the accumulation function. The findings suggest that the AiC framework is useful for designing didactical activities for conceptual learning, and the accumulation function can serve as a basis for teaching the three knowledge elements regarding relationship between indefinite integral and definite integral.

Although economic growth has been retarded since the global economic crisis over recent decades, a large number of firms consider mergers and acquisitions (M and A) as a strategy to survive in a highly competitive market. In particular, an increasing number of firms pursue M and A with IT firms in recent years. In this study, we analyze the post-merger risks measured as ROA volatility for acquiring firms when they seek to acquire an IT firm. Our analysis suggests that a firm with prior experience in M and A acquires IT firms aggressively. Moreover, a substantial number of IT firms are relatively small and unlisted when they are acquired. We also show that an acquiring firm's post-merger risk (i.e., ROA volatility) increases after its acquisition of IT firms. However, an increase in post-merger risk is alleviated when relatedness exists between an acquiring firm and target.

A new six-rowed naked barley cultivar "Jinjuchal" with high whiteness after cooking and high $\beta$-glucan content was developed from the cross between 'Jinmichapssalbori' with high winter hardiness, lodging tolerance, grain whiteness and pearling yield, and 'Suwon 333' with waxy endosperm by the Honam Agricultural Research Institute (HARI), NICS, RDA in 2007. An elite line, SB962002G-B-B-B-84-4 was selected in 2002 and designated as 'Iksan 79' It showed good agronomic performance in the regional yield trials (RYT) from 2005 to 2007 and was released with the name of "Jinjuchal" possessing high whiteness and low proanthocyanidin waxy endosperm. The average heading and maturing dates of "Jinjuchal" were April 27 and June 1 in paddy field, which were same and one day later than those of the check cultivar 'Saechalssalbori' respectively. The new cultivar, "Jinjuchal" had 81 cm of culm length that was 1cm longer than that of 'Saechalssalbori' and 4.9 cm of spike length. It showed 673 spikes per $m^2$, 56 grains per spike, 27.0 g of 1,000-grain weight, and 752 g of test weight. "Jinjuchal" showed stronger hardiness and better resistance to powdery mildew and BaYMV (Barley yellow mosaic virus) than those of the check cultivar, 'Saechalssalbori' It showed higher $\beta$-glucan content(8.4%) and water absorption rate than those of the check cultivar, 'Saechalssalbori' Its average yield of the pearled grain in the regional yield trial was 3.79 MT/ha in upland, and 3.73 MT/ha in paddy field, which were 1% lower and 3% higher than those of the check cultivar, respectively. Total phenol and proanthocyanidin contents were 4.2 and 0.2 mg/g, respectively. This cultivar is suitable for the area of the daily minimum temperature above $-6^{\circ}C$ in January in Korean peninsula.
