Signal frequency lines generated from the acoustic targets are of particular importance for target detection and classification in passive sonar systems. The underwater noise consists of a mixture of ambient noise and radiated noise of targets. Detction of exact signal frequency lines depends on signal detection threshold and variation of ambient noise. In this paper, a detection method of signal frequency lines for acoustic targets using autoassociative memory (ASM) neural network, which is not sensitive to variation of signal detection threshold and ambient noise, is proposed. It is confirmed by simulation and application of real acoustic targets that the proposed method shows good performance for detection of signal frequency lines.

Obesity is epidemic worldwide and has reportedly been linked to the progression of several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The natural products are decreasing the side effects of medicines used for obesity and also have health benefits dut to their numerous bioactive compounds. In this context, Artemisia scoparia is a widespread plant that has been suggested as possessing various types of bioactivity. In this study, the crude extract from A. scoparia (ASE) was tested for its ability to suppress adipogenesis in mouse 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. The molecular pathway by which ASE affects differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells was also investigated. The introduction of ASE to differentiating 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes resulted in suppressed adipogenesis, as confirmed by decreased intracellular lipid accumulation. The differentiating cells treated with 10 and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of ASE showed 21.9 and 29.0% less lipid accumulation, respectively, than untreated adipocytes. In addition, the results indicated that ASE treatment lowered the expression of the adipogenesis-related factors $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, and SREBP-1c. Furthermore, treating with ASE notably decreased levels of phosphorylated p38, ERK, and JNK in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These results indicate that ASE exhibits significant anti-adipogenesis activity by downregulating the MAPK and $PPAR{\gamma}$ pathways during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Therefore, A. scoparia may be a potential source of natural products against obesity.

유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)은 자연적 진화과정에서 생존 경쟁 측면의 가장 적합한 메커니즘이다. GA를 소프트웨어로 수행하는데 큰 지연시간은 필수적이기 때문에 하드웨어 설계를 이용하여 알고리즘 실행 속도를 증가시키기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 염색체의 임의의 유전인자를 기준으로 입력 받은 염색체에 대하여 GA 연산을 수행하는 유전 연산자를 설계한다. 설계된 디자인을 ARM 코어와 PLD로 구성된 Altera사의 Excalibur칩에 구현하여 동작을 검증하였다.

퍼지제어기를 실제 플랜트에 적용할 경우, 모델링 오차와 플랜트에 대한 관련지식의 부족으로 만족할 만한 제어 결과를 기대하지 못한다. 이러한 경우 제어기 성능을 향상시키기 위해 제어인자를 다시 조정해야 하고, 이 조정과정은 시행착오방법으로 수행되기 때문에 많은 시간과 비용을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 논리를 사용하여 스케일링 계수를 자동조정하는 퍼지 레귤레이터를 제안하였다. 스케일 계수의 출력 범위와 오차, 오차 변화량 따라 퍼지 레귤레이터는 적절한 스케일링 계수값을 결정함으로써 퍼지제어기의 성능을 향상시키게 된다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 2차 플랜트에 적용하여 모의실험을 수행하였다.

The spontaneous oscillations in the optogalvanic signals are observed in negative glow region of Ar hollow cathode discharge. The spontaneous oscillations in the optogalvanic signals are observed at low discharge currents less than about 3 mA. Based on the simultaneous measurements of both the density variation of metastable atoms and emission intensities of the 1s-2p transitions, one of the possible mechanisms for the spontaneous oscillation is considered to be related to the stepwise ionization of the metastable atoms due to collisions with slow electrons in the discharge.

Binary CDMA(B-CDMA) is a new modulation scheme that employs a constant envelope modulation scheme By quantizing the envelope of multi-codes CDMA signal into a small number of levels, the B-CDMA can reduce the peak-to-average power ratio, while preserving the advantages of CDMA signaling such as the soft capacity and robustness to interference. In this paper, we analyze the performance of B-CDMA systems in multi-path channel assuming that the spreading factor is not too small. Finally, the analytic results are verified by computer simulation.

Extremely fine tine resolution of ultra-wideband (UWB) signal poses a new problems to the system designer. A reasonable accuracy of the system clock is necessary to process signals with such a high space resolution. A useful way of illustrating the time resolution of a signal is to evaluate the ambiguity function. The ambiguity function for carrierless UWB defined using the time mismatch and time scaling factor as its two parameters. The UWB ambiguity function is evaluated for various signaling schemes of impulse radio.
