무손실 이미지 압축은 (Lossless Image Compression)은 손실이미지 압축(Lossy Image Compression)에 비해, 압축률(compression ratio)은 떨어지지만, 반면 원이미지와 복원이미지가 완전히 일치하므로, 원인이미지의 품질을 그대로 유지학 수 있다. 따라서, 이미지의 품질(Quality)과 압축효율(compression ratio)은 서로 상반된 관계에 있으며, 지금도 좀 더 놀은 압축효과를 얻으려는 여러 무손실 압축 방법이 발표되고 있다. 무손실 이미지 압축은 이미지의 정확성과 정밀성이 요구되는, 의료영양분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 그밖에, 원본이미지를 기본으로 다른 이미지프로세싱이 필요한 경우, 압축 복원을 반복적으로 수행할 필요가 있을 때, 기타 사진 예술분야, 원격 영상 등 정밀성이 요구되는 분양에서 쓰이고 있다. [7]. 무손실 이미지 압축의 가장 대표적인 CALIC[3]과 JPEG_LS[2]를 들 수 있다. CALIC은 비교적 높은 압축률을 나타내지만, 3-PASS의 과정을 거치는 복잡도가 지적되고 있다. 반면 JPEG-LS는 압축률은 CALIC에 미치지 못하지만 빠른 코딩/디코딩 속도를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 여거 가지의 예측 모드를 두어, 블록단위별로 주변 CONTEXT에 따라, 최상의 예측 모드를 판단하여, 이를 적용, 픽셀의 여러 값을 최소화하였다. 그 후 적응산술 부호기(Adaptive arithmetc coder)를 이용하여, 인코딩을 하였다. 이때 최대 에러값은 64를 넘지 않게 했으며, 또한 8*8블록별로 에러의 최대값을 측정하여 그 값을 $0\~7$까지의 8개의 대표값으로 양자화하는 방법을 통하여 그에 따라 8개의 보호화 심볼 모델중 알맞은 모델에 적용하였다. 이를 통해, 그 소화값의 확률 구간을 대폭 넓힘으로써, 에러 이미지가 가지고 있는 엔트로피에 좀 근접하게 코딩을 할 수 있게 되었다. 이 방법은 실제로 Arithmetic Coder를 이용하는 다른 압축 방법에 그리고 적용할 수 있다. 실험 결과 압축효율은 JPEG-LS보다 약 $5\%$의 압축 성능 개선이 있었으며, CALIC과는 대등한 압축률을 보이며, 부호화/복호화 속도는 CALIC보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The analysis of condensation and cleavage reaction was carried out at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 with purified isocitrate lyase from Saccharomycopsis lipolytica ATCC 44601. The Km values for condensation reaction of glyoxylate and succinate were 0.06 and 0.21 mM, respectively. In the cleavage reaction, glyoxylate was a linear competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 0.22 mM and succinate was a linear noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of 0.82 mM. Therefore, these kinetic analyses showed that the enzyme functioned in a ordered reaction with glyoxylate binding before succinate in the condensation reaction. 3-Bromopyruvate(BrP) was found to be irreversibly inactivation showing saturation kinetics, the inactivation half-time was 0.15 min and $K_{BrP}$ was 0.032 mM, and substrate or reactant protected against the inactivation.

Face recognition technique is very popular for a personal information security and user identification in recent years. However, the face recognition system is very hard to be implemented due to the difficulty where change in illumination, pose and facial expression. In this paper, we consider that an illumination change causing the variety of face appearance, virtual image data is generated and added to the D-LDA which was selected as the most suitable feature extractor. A less sensitive recognition system in illumination is represented in this paper. This way that consider nature of several illumination directions generate the virtual training image data that considered an illumination effect of the directions and the change of illumination density. As result of experiences, D-LDA has a less sensitive property in an illumination through ORL, Yale University and Pohang University face database.

Many image and video compression algorithms work by splitting the input image into blocks and producing variable-length coded bits for each block data. If variable-length coded data are transmitted consecutively, then the resulting coder is highly sensitive to channel errors. Therefore, most image and video techniques for providing some protection to the stream against channel errors usually involve adding a controlled amount of redundancy back into the stream. Such redundancy might take the form of resynchronization markers, which enable the decoder to restart the decoding process from the known state, in the event of transmission errors. The Error Resilient Entropy Code (EREC) is a well known method which can regain synchronization without any redundant information to convert from variable-length code to fixed-length code. This paper proposes an enhancement to EREC, which greatly improves its transmission ability for the compressed image quality without any redundant bits in the event of errors. The simulation result shows that the both objective and subjective quality of transmitted image is enhanced compared with the existing EREC at the same BER(Bit Error Rate).

In this paper, we present an anonymous authentication and location assurance protocol for secure location-aware services over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In other to achieve our goal, we propose the notion of a location-aware signing key so as to strongly bind geographic location information to cryptographic function while providing conditional privacy preservation which is a desirable property for secure vehicular communications. Furthermore, the proposed protocol provides an efficient procedure based on hash chain technique for revocation checking to effectively alleviate communication and computational costs on vehicles in VANETs. Finally, we demonstrate comprehensive analysis to confirm the fulfillment of the security objectives, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed protocol.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm of block synchronization that uses data withoug synchronization preambles. Block synchronization systems is implemented using the DSP chip employing the proposed algorithm. The data spread of the DFT blocks is proportional to the offset of DFT block and this information is used to achieve the block synchronization in the receiver. The initial bleock synchronization and the clock synchronization between transmitter and receiver are achieved using the early-late removal of the guard interval. The hardware implmentation is carried out using the DSP chip TM320C30 to verify the proposed block synchronization algorithm with the data rate 1200bps. The DSP chip calculates the spread of the 128 complex FFT in the receiver with the system clock 30MHz. It is believed that the proposed synchronization algorithm can be used in the design of OFDM block synchronization with the high processing DSP chip.

As an preliminary study for the quench protection of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable using superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), experimental research was carried out. The test circuit was composed of Bi-2223/Ag HTS tape and a SFCL made of YBCO thin films. In the normal state, the applied current of 56 A, which was critical current of HTS tape, could be flown through the circuit without resistive loss. Increasing the currents, the quench development of both materials was investigated from the voltage signal acquired from the resistance of the quenched superconductor. Up to around 10 times of the critical current was applied to the HTS tape and the current limiting characteristics of SFCL were investigated. In addition, for the finding out the optimal operating condition of SFCL such as the numbers of elements, a shunt resistor was applied to the SFCL and quench characteristics were analyzed as well.

Recently as the reports on toxicity of some nanomaterials and the nanoproducts containing these nanomaterials are rapidly increasing, the safety management issues about nanomaterials and nanoproducts are emerging hot. Especially safety in the workplace and that of consumers and the protection of environment, in other words safeties throughout the life-cycle of nanomaterials and products become core issues. Despite the importance of such a safety management, however, it is very difficult to construct the hard regulatory framework for safety, owing to uncertainties and potentialities of nano-risk. In this paper I will look around the ethical principles and guidelines for safety management which are preferentially required before going into the discussion on the construction of hard-regulation such as law and something like that. Under the circumstance that hard-regulations for safety management are not implementable, these principles and guidelines are expected to play a leading part in building the responsible risk-governance framework for nanomaterials and nanoproducts, and finally to become a cornerstone of the hard risk-governance framework.

This paper deals with the basic principles and procedures involved in the steam-chest molding process used for manufacturing expanded polypropylene (EPP) bead foam. Steam-chest molding is an integral process for EPP technology. However, little research has been carried out on the processing conditions for steam-chest molding this process. The characteristics of EPP foam are energy absorption, multiple-impact protection, low weight, structural strength, and durability. In this study, the steam pressure in steam-chest molding was varied to determine the optimum conditions for manufacturing EPP foam. Moreover, annealing was performed after EPP-foam molding to prevent the shrinkage of the steam-molded product. It was possible to verify the mechanism of foam shrinkage by observing the change in weight with time at different annealing temperatures. Moreover, a tensile test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were performed to support these experimental results. The dimensional stability of each molded product was investigated at different steam pressures.

A thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been widely applied to machine components working under high temperature as a thermal insulator owing to its critical financial and safety benefits to the industry. However, the nondestructive evaluation of TBC damage is not easy since sensing of the microscopic change that occurs on the TBC is required during an evaluation. We designed an eddy current probe for evaluating damage on a TBC based on the finite element method (FEM) and validated its performance through an experiment. An FEM analysis predicted the sensitivity of the probe, showing that impedance change increases as the TBC thermally degrades. In addition, the effect of the magnetic shield concentrating magnetic flux density was also observed. Finally, experimental validation showed good agreement with the simulation result.
