To investigate the DTV coverage especially in downtown areas and improve the performance of DTV receivers, it is necessary to capture the receiving DTV signals that contain the complex characteristics of the real-world RF environments and regenerate them in a laboratory without the performance degradation. In this paper, we developed a DTV RF capture and regeneration system adapting digital signal processing and high speed hard disk storage techniques and analyze its characteristics. The system can capture and replay the DTV RF signals based on a real-time condition in a hard disk. There Is no time limit for capturing RF data within the installed storage capacity. We can expect various Possible applications for this system such as a tool for the development of the receiver performance analysis, design and analysis for the DTV coverage areas, etc.

As a solution to the growing concern on the global warming, researches are being actively carried out to apply carbon dioxide capture and storage technology to power generation systems. In this study, the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) adopting oxy-combustion carbon capture was modeled and the effect of replacing the conventional air separation unit (ASU) with the ion transport membrane (ITM) on the net system efficiency was analyzed. The ITM-based system was predicted to consume less net auxiliary power owing to an additional nitrogen expander. Even with a regular pressure ratio which is 21, the ITM-based system would provide a higher net efficiency than the optimized ASU-based system which should be designed with a very high pressure ratio around 90. The optimal net efficiency of the ITM-based system is more than 3% higher than that of the ASU-based system. The influence of the operating pressure and temperature of the ITM on system efficiency was predicted to be marginal.

This study suggests ways to strengthen the expertise by analyzing the problems caused by the lack of expertise of the qualification management body managing the Korean qualifications in the realm of firefighting from the perspective of external signal dependency of capture theory. As a method to prevent the dependency of external signals in capture theory, it is suggested to strengthen the expertise of regulators and strengthening roles and functions of regulator institutions by supplementing education and professional manpower. On this basis, analyzing the problems of qualifications management to the external signal dependency tendency, the researchers in qualification management at the Human Resources Development Service of Korea have a variety of different majors, so understanding and application can be limited if they are working in an unfamiliar area of work. Therefore, in making decisions regarding topics such as policies and roles, suitable alternatives should be found based on external signals. In order to improve this, it is necessary to select firefighting majors in the Korean qualification management of the firefighting realm, to reorganize the job scope to a similar job field of the researcher in charge. It is also necessary to strengthen the expertise of the researcher through various programs, such as mandatory periodic maintenance education in order to understand the work of the researcher.

In this study, the behavior of the droplet colliding with parallel wires was analyzed by time-delay photography. The impact behavior modes and the critical capture speed were analyzed by changing fluids, the droplet velocity, the wire diameter and the distance between wires. Seven typical modes of impacting droplet on parallel wires were observed. The tendency of mode change was generally similar when the wire diameter was changed, but the increase of the wire diameter caused the increase of the droplet velocity at which the mode changed. The modes at the highest droplet velocity were the splitting mode when the wires were closest, the passing and splitting mode in the middle, and the passing mode when the wires were farthest apart. The critical capture speed increased as the wire diameter increased and the distance between wires decreased. The ethanol droplet showed the lowest critical capture speed.

Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) is a precision radiation therapy that kills cancer cells using the neutron capture reaction that occurs when ¹⁵⁷Gd hits thermal neutrons. ¹⁵⁷Gd has the highest thermal neutron capture cross section of 254,000 barns among stable isotopes in the periodic table. Another stable isotope, ¹⁵⁵Gd, also has a high thermal neutron trapping area (~ 60,700 barns), so gadolinium that exists in nature can be used as a Gd-NCT drug. Gd-NCT is a mixed kinetic energy of low-energy and high-energy ionizing particles, which can be uniformly distributed throughout the tumor tissue, thereby solving the disadvantage of heterogeneous dose distribution in tumor tissue. The Gd complexes of small-sized molecule are widely used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical practice. Therefore, these compounds can be used not only for diagnosis but also therapy when considering the concept of Gd-NCT. This multifunctional trial can look forward to new medical advance into NCT clinical practices. In this review, we introduce gadolinium compounds suitable for Gd-NCT and describe the necessity of image guided Gd-NCT.

Spider capture silk is a natural scaffolding material that outperforms most synthetic materials in terms of its combination of strength and elasticity. Among the various kinds of silk threads, cribellar thread is the most primitive prey-capturing type of spider web material. We analyzed the functional organization of the sieve-like cribellum spigots and specialized calamistral comb bristles for capture thread production by the titanoecid spider Nurscia albofasciata. The outer cribellar surface is covered with thousands of tiny spigots, and the cribellar plate produces non-sticky threads composed of thousands of fine nanofibers. N. albofasciata cribellar spigots are typically about 10 ㎛ long, and each spigot appears as a long individual shaft with a pagoda-like tiered tip. The five distinct segments comprising each spigot is a defining characteristic of this spider. This segmented and flexible structure not only allows for spigots to bend individually and join with adjacent spigots, but it also enables spigots to draw the silk fibrils from their cribella with rows of calamistral leg bristles to form cribellar prey-capture threads.

Motion capture data files for pose estimation may have inaccurate data depending on the surrounding environment and the degree of movement, so it is necessary to correct it. In the past, inaccurate data was restored with post-processing by people, but recently various kind of neural networks such as LSTM and R-CNN are used as automated method. However, since neural network-based data restoration methods require a lot of computing resource, this paper proposes a method that reduces computing resource and maintains data restoration rate compared to neural network-based method. The proposed method automatically restores inaccurate motion capture data by using posture measurement data (c3d). As a result of the experiment, data restoration rates ranged from 89% to 99% depending on the degree of inaccuracy of the data.

This paper proposes a 3D animated body profile using 3D body scanning and motion capture devices. Users can create their own personalized body profiles with animation by performing 3D scans for a predetermined set of poses. To achieve this, a template animation was obtained through motion capture for a series of poses, and the acquired 3D scan data from users was mapped to the key poses of the animation using Pose-space deformer. The resulting 3D animated body profiles provide users with greater satisfaction compared to traditional static 2D images or 3D scan data.

With the rapid development of 3D animation, MetaHuman is widely used in film production, game development and VR production as a virtual human creation platform.In the animation production of virtual humans, motion capture is usually used.Since different motion capture solutions use different skeletons for motion recording, when the skeleton level of recorded animation data is different from that of MetaHuman, the animation data recorded by motion capture cannot be directly used on MetaHuman. This requires Reorient the skeletons of both.This study explores an efficient skeleton reorientation method that can maintain the accuracy of animation data by reducing the number of bone chains.In the experiment, three skeleton structures, Rokoko, Mixamo and Xsens were used for efficient redirection experiments, to compare and analyze the adaptability of different skeleton structures to the MetaHuman skeleton, and to explore which skeleton structure has the highest compatibility with the MetaHuman skeleton.This research provides an efficient skeleton reorientation idea for the production team of 3D animated video content, which can significantly reduce time costs and improve work efficiency.
