  • "산업혁신포럼 2005"에 참석한 엘빈 토플러(Alvin Toffler)는 현재 발생하고 있는 변화는 단순히 극적일 뿐만 아니라 혁명적인 변화라고 말한 바 있다. 지난 10년간 세계는 IT혁명의 본격화, WTO체제 출범 및 국제경쟁 심화, 중국 등 신흥개도록 의 대두 등 이러한 혁명적 변화를 겪어왔고, 각 국별로 이에 대한 적절한 대응여부에 따라 명암이 극명하게 교차했다.

  • In the present study, we investigated ability of recognition of auditory perception with regards to the quality of voice in postlingual CI adults and proposed a training program to improve within subject reliability. A prospective case-control study was conducted in adults with 7 postlingual deaf who received a CI surgery and 10 normal hearing controls. The pre and post test and training program included parameters of consensus auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice(CAPE-V) with pathological voice sample by using Alvin. In results of pre-post test for monitoring improvements of internal reliability for listeners via the training program, there was statistically significant difference in both test and group. There was statistically significant difference in internal reliability between pre-post test in the normal hearing group, the result was no significant in the CI group. The present study found that CI adults showed less ability in awareness of voice quality compared to normal hearing group. Also the training program improved pitch and loudness in CI adults.

  • In news papers we can find the new terminology like "Service Industry" and "Industry Service". Most people understand the terminology "Service Industry" which means the most of industried except the products manufacturing industry however very few people can understand the definition and concept of the new terminology "Industry Service". In this circumstance the writer intend to define and clearify such concept and further to review such new industry which will be the most important industry in 21 century defined as the information society or super Symbolic society by Alvin Toppler. It is very necessary that as engineer who should lead such very important and highly technoliged industry, shall understand such industry including the future of such.

Characteristics of Vowel Formants, Voice Intensity, and Fundamental Frequency of Female with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis using Spectrograms (스펙트로그램을 이용한 근위축성측삭경화증 여성 화자의 모음 포먼트, 음성강도, 기본주파수의 변화)

  • This study analyzed the changes of vowel formant, voice intensity, and fundamental frequency of vowels for 11 months using acoustochemical spectrogram analysis of women diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The test word was a vowel /a, i, u/ and a diphthong /h + ja + da/, /h + wi + da/, and /h +ɰi+ da/. Speech data were collected through the word reading task presented on the monitor using 'Alvin' program, and the recording environment was set to 5,500 Hz for the nyquist frequency and 11,000 Hz for the sampling rate. The records were analyzed by using spectrograms to vowel formants, voice intensity, and fundamental frequency. As a result of analysis, the fundamental frequency and intensity of the ALS process were decreased and the formant slope of the diphthong was decreased rather than the formant change in the vowel. This result suggests that the vowel distortion of ALS due to disease progression is due to the decrease of tongue and jaw co morbidity.

  • The extensive coverage and high speed of communication network, which is a basic structure of the information society, enables the provision of various forms of informatiov. especially, such services as cyber medicine, cyber education, home office, home banking, and home shopping will be common; and, now, no one can deny that the information society starts to be part of our life. Regarding home office, John Navigate predicted home office through the electronic house in New Mecca Trend and Alvin Toffler asserted in The third Wave that people could do their work anywhere including living room in their hoses with the development of communication technology and other related appliances. Such predictions are realized with the development of information communicatiov. Therefore, housing space should be changed according to the realization of home office and the direction of housing plan need to be set for home office.

  • Silicon oxide with thickness lee than 9 nm is fabricated by tube furnace oxidation. Nitrogen is added to dilute the oxidation rate. Aluminum dots with radius of 0.05 cm are deposited on the oixde. High frequency capacitance-voltage(HF C-V), conductance-voltage(G-V) and current-voltage(I-V) characteristics are measured. Annealing under nitrogen atmosphere is carried out with different time and at different temperature. Densities of the interface states before and after annealing are compared. After annealing, a decrease in density of the interface states is found. Experiments show that 45$0^{\circ}C$ annealing for 30 minutes has the lowest density of the interface states.

  • In the fight against cancer, novel chemotherapeutic agents are constantly being sought to complement existing drugs. Various studies have presented evidence that the apoptosis that is induced by these anticancer agents is implicated in tumor regression, and Bcl-2 family genes play a part in apoptosis following treatment with various stimuli. Here, we present data that a styrylpyrone derivative (SPD) that is extracted from the plant Goniothalamus sp. showed cytotoxic effects on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. SPD significantly increased apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, as visualized by phase contrast microscopy and evaluated by the Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling assay and nuclear morphology. Western blotting and immunostaining revealed up-regulation of the proapoptotic Bax protein expression. SPD, however, did not affect the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2. These results, therefore, suggest SPD as a potent cytotoxic agent on MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis through the modulation of Bax levels.

  • In existing Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs) for object recognition task, there are only few efforts known to reduce the noises from the images. Both convolution and pooling layers perform the features extraction without considering the noises of the input image, treating all pixels equally important. In computer vision field, there has been a study to weight a pixel importance. Seam carving resizes an image by sacrificing the least important pixels, leaving only the most important ones. We propose a new way to combine seam carving approach with current existing CNN model for object recognition task. We attempt to remove the noises or the "unimportant" pixels in the image before doing convolution and pooling, in order to get better feature representatives. Our model shows promising result with CIFAR-10 dataset.
