Cold acclimation involves changes in gene expression. BN28 and BN115 are two genes which are regulated by cold temperature and assumed having roles in cold acclimation. The objectives of this experiment was to explore the expression of BN28 and BN115 under field conditions. Six winter cultivars were planted at three different dates during the fall. The expression of the genes was determined by northern blot analysis of total RNA taken from leaves 15 to 30 day-intervals after planting. The expression of the two genes was detected within 15 days after planting well before onset of freezing tolerance in plants. This suggestes either their expression was a prerequisite of the freezing tolerance or their expression was regulated by other environmental factors as well as temperature. Two genes showed a different expression pattern suggesting they had a different regulatory system. Although timecourse increase in expression of the cold-regulated genes was matched with increase in freezing tolerance, the difference of expression in cultivar level at specific times of measurement was not correlated with freezing tolerance at the moment.

This study was performed to determine the usefulness of scanpath similarity analysis as one of new web usability testing. The 5 websites of public institutions were used and 15 students participated. First of all, eye movements were tracked and visual appeal ratings were measured as participants freely viewed each website for 3 seconds. Subsequently in continuously tracking the eye movements we asked the participants to perform 17 missions. Finally, in interview the participants rated on satisfaction, awareness, and mission difficulty. Results of this study showed that scanpath similarity had a significant relationship with both the visual appeal ratings(first impression) and the satisfaction. In other words, higher the visual appeal ratings were related to higher scanpath similarity. This result showed that measurement such as scanpath similarity of eye movements could become an objective index for usability testing instead of subjective evaluation such as the satisfaction. We discussed possibility that the usability testing by using the scanpath similarity with both fixation and duration on eye movements will find more appropriately inference on observers' experiences in websites.

This paper considers the cooperative control problem for multiple leaders and a single follower with interactions. The leaders are controllable, and the follower has interactions with all leaders and is controlled by the interactions. Then, we study the cooperative control problem that achieves the consensus by controlling the leaders. The leaders and the follower are modeled by the single-integrator and the double-integrator, respectively, and it is assumed that the interactions have the nonlinearities. The leaders can estimate the interaction between the follower and exchange the estimated information with neighbors. Then, this paper proposes the consensus-based cooperative control algorithm using the information exchange of the estimated interactions and the virtual velocity variables to achieve the velocity consensus. We analyze the convergence of the agents to the common state based on the Lasalle's Invaraince Principle. Finally, we provide the numerical example to validate the theoretical results.

This study evaluated the clinical utility of Shear Wave Elastography(SWE) by analyzing the differences in elastic modulus and shear wave speed across various types of breast tissue and assessing inter-observer agreement. A breast phantom that included normal breast tissue, benign tumors, and malignant tumors was utilized, and ten radiologists participated, measuring the minimum, average, and maximum elastic modulus and shear wave speed for each tissue type. Analysis of differences between tissues was conducted using one-way ANOVA, and intra- and inter-observer agreement was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient(ICC). The results demonstrated significant differences in the average values of elastic modulus and shear wave speed among the tissue types(p<0.001), with malignant tumor tissues showing the highest average values. Furthermore, the ICC analysis for elastic modulus ranged from 0.75 to 0.99 and for shear wave speed from 0.89 to 0.99, indicating high reproducibility and agreement. These findings suggest that SWE is a reliable tool with high reproducibility and specificity for the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Contact angle measuring device was developed in this laboratory using laser beam projec-tion. The new method allows for rapid and direct determination of stationary, advancing, and receding contact angles on both planar and nonplanar solid surfaces, including fibers with very small diameters. A narrow laser beam impinges on an edge of an interface of liquid and solid. This makes two projected laser beam lines upon and radiating from the center of a protractor scale on a tangent screen. Contact angle is measured by determining the difference in angle on the protractor scale between the two projected laser beam lines. Contact angles measured on Perspex-CQ using this instrument were in agreement with the literature. it was shown that this instrument provides a novel method for the facile and accurate measurement of contact angles.

일반적으로 프로젝터는 심도(depth of field)가 제한되어 있기 때문에 스크린이 곡면일 경우, 일부 영역에서는 초점이 맞지 않게(out-of-focus) 된다. 이런 out-of-focus 영역의 정보는 블러링(blurring)되기 때문에 사용자에게 정확한 정보를 전달할 수 없다. 여러 대의 프로젝터를 이용할 경우, 각 프로젝터는 다른 in-focus 영역을 가지기 때문에 각 프로젝터 픽셀의 in-focus/out-of-focus 판별을 통해 in-focus 픽셀만을 투사함으로써, out-of-focus 픽셀의 영향을 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 여러 대의 프로젝터의 in-focus영역이 거의 일치할 경우, out-of-focus영역은 여전히 out-of-focus상태일 수 밖에 없다. 따라서, 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유연하게 조절하면서 동시에 여러 대의 프로젝터에 의한 in-focus 영역을 최대한 크게 할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유동적으로 조절하면서 취득된 영상을 처리하여 in-focus 영역을 판별하고 각 프로젝터에 대한 in-focus 영역을 조합하여 전체in-focus 영역의 면적을 최대화하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증하기 위해, 각 프로젝터의 in-focus 영역을 적절한 컬러를 이용해 시각적으로 표현해주고 이 정보를 참조해 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유동적으로 조절하여 전초점 영상을 만들어내는 시스템을 구현하였다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate and analyze the categories of online bookstores and to propose improvements. For the study, the category conformity was compared among eight Korean online bookstores selected; the book classification on the categories was compared from them. The results show that the category conformity was high among online bookstores, but the book classification on the categories was different on the bookstores. ISBN contents classification codes for books might not help to classify the books on the categories. Thus, the study proposes a new publication category for the book classification on categories of online bookstores.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of methylthiocyanate(MTC) with anion nucleophiles,$SH^-,\;CN^-$ and $OH^-$, have been investigated using MNDO method. For the three reaction centers of MTC, gas-phase and solution-phase selectivities are discussed for each nucleophile by considering potential energy profiles calculated(intrinsic term) and magnitudes of negative charge on the nucleophile at the transition state(solvation term). It was found that both components of the selectivity for $SH^-$agreed with the experimental results obtained for 4-methylbenzylthiocyanate (4-MBTC), but the selectivity order for TEX>$CN^-$ was found to agree only with that of the intrinsic term and that of $OH^-$disagreed with any theoretical selectivity order. The MNDO optimized geometries for all species at the stationary points are reported.

The problem of semantic interoperability in science and technology information is frequently raised. Well-established classification scheme will be used as a tool to interchange information between different databases without semantic inconsistency. However, there is still a practical barrier due to different classification schemes each database adopts. Accordingly, it is urgent to harmonize or reconcile those classifications with each other. This paper aims to solve semantic inconsistencies occurred when interchanging information between databases having different classification schemes, the Standard National Sci-Tech Classification and the Standard KISTI Classification. For the purpose a conceptual analysis of science and technology are performed and five consistency/inconsistency types are analyzed based on some examples.

This paper describes fingerprint matching algorithm using connected information between minutiae. We regard minutiae as ridge bifurcation and ridge ending. Features are composed of minutia's position, type(ridge bifurcation or ridge ending) ridge direction and connected ridge information. While the minutiae are extracted, we store connected in information between minutiae on the same ridge. They are used to find corresponding point pairs. Minutiae are aligned completely by two corresponding point pairs and point pattern matching is achieved by counting the number of overlapping pairs. It is invariable t translation and rotation. We have tested proposed method on the 445 fingerprints from 89 persons. These experimental results show that proposed algorithm improve 33% in speed.
