IPTV(Internet Protocol Television)는 다양한 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 인터넷을 통하여 TV로 제공하는 방송과 통신이 융합된 기술이다. 방송을 송신하는 측은 멀티캐스트 방식으로 스크램블된 방송콘텐츠를 전송하고, 수신료를 지불한 가입자만이 인증 과정을 거쳐 스크램블된 방송콘텐츠를 디스크램블하여 수신 할 수 있어야 한다. 일반적으로, 가입자 인증은 TV에 연결된 셋톱박스 (STB, Set-Top Box)와 스마트카드 기반으로 이루어지는데, 2004년 Jiang et al.이 관련 프로토콜을 제안하였고, 이 후에 여러 논문에서 보다 효율적인 프로토콜들이 제안되었다. 하지만, 이 프로토콜들은 모두 메모리와 계산 능력에 제한이 있는 스마트카드에 부담을 주는 모듈라 멱승 계산을 하도록 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 해쉬함수와 exclusive-or 연산만을 이용한 효율적인 셋톱박스와 스마트 카드 간의 인증 및 키 교환 프로토콜을 제안하고, 제안하는 프로토콜이 다양한 공격에 안전함을 보인다.

Recently, household electronic industries require environmentally-friendly and highly functional steels in order to enhance the quality of human life. Customers especially require both excellent corrosion and abrasion resistant anti-fingerprint steels for digital TV panels. Thus POSCO has developed new functional electro-galvanized steels, which have double coated layers with organic-inorganic composites on the zinc surface of the steel for usage as the bottom chassis panel of TVs. The inorganic solution for the bottom layer consists of inorganic phosphate, magnesium, and zirconium compounds with a small amount of epoxy binder, and affords both improved adhesion properties by chemical conversion reactions and corrosion resistance due to a self-healing effect. The composite solution for the top layer was prepared by fine dispersion of organic-inorganic ingredients that consist of a urethane modified polyacrylate polymer, hardener, silica sol and a titanium complex inhibitor in aqueous media. Both composite solutions were coated on the steel surface by using a roll coater and then cured through an induction furnace in the electro-galvanizing line. New anti-fingerprint steel was evaluated for quality performance through such procedures as the salt spray test for corrosion resistance, tribological test for abrasion resistance, and conductivity test for surface electric conductance regarding to both types of polymer resin and coating weight of composite solution. New composite coated anti-fingerprint steels afford both better corrosion resistance and abrasion properties compared to conventional anti-fingerprint steel that mainly consists of acrylate polymers. Detailed discussions of both composite solutions and experimental results suggest that urethane modifications of acrylate polymers of composite solutions play a key role in enhanced quality performances.

Purpose: To explore the feasibility of maximum diameter as a response assessment method for vestibular schwannomas (VS) after stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (RT), we analyzed the concordance of RT responses between maximum diameters and volumetric measurements. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients receiving curative stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated stereotactic RT for VS were analyzed retrospectively. Twelve patients were excluded: 4 did not receive follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and 8 had initial MRI scans with a slice thickness >3 mm. The maximum diameter, tumor volume (TV), and enhanced tumor volume (ETV) were measured in each MRI study. The percent change after RT was evaluated according to the measurement methods and their concordances were calculated with the Pearson correlation. The response classifications were determined by the assessment modalities, and their agreement was analyzed with Cohen kappa statistics. Results: Median follow-up was 31.0 months (range, 3.5 to 86.5 months), and 90 follow-up MRI studies were analyzed. The percent change of maximum diameter correlated strongly with TV and ETV (r(p) = 0.85, 0.63, p = 0.000, respectively). Concordance of responses between the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) using the maximum diameters and either TV or ETV were moderate (kappa = 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.32-0.85) or fair (kappa = 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.59), respectively. Conclusions: The percent changes in maximum diameter and the responses in RECIST were significantly concordant with those in the volumetric measurements. Therefore, the maximum diameters can be used for the response evaluation of VS following stereotactic RT.

Objective: This study examined bone microstructure restoration after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with and without corticotomy over multiple retention periods. Methods: Eighteen male Dorper sheep were randomly distributed into three groups (n = 6 each group): group 1, RME with corticotomy on the buccal and palatal sides; group 2, conventional RME treatment; and group 3, no treatment. Post-RME, trabecular bone microstructure and new bone formation were evaluated by using microcomputed tomography (microCT) and histomorphometry after a 4- or 12-week retention period. Intergroup differences in bone quality and bone remodeling were analyzed by using two-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni post-hoc test. Results: The bone volume fraction (bone volume [BV]/total volume [TV]) values relative to the control in groups 1 and 2 were 54.40% to 69.88% after the 4-week retention period and returned to approximately 80% after the 12-week retention period. The pooled BV/TV values of the banded teeth in groups 1 and 2 were significantly lower than those of the control after the 4-week retention period (p < 0.05). However, after the 12-week retention period, the pooled BV/TV values in group 2 were significantly lower than those in groups 1 and 3 (p < 0.05). Histomorphological analysis showed that the new bone formation area in group 1 was approximately two to three times of those in group 2 and control. Conclusions: Corticotomy significantly enhanced the restoration of bone quality after the retention periods for banded teeth. This benefit might result from the increased new bone formation after corticotomy.

선으로 구성된 회로도나 설계도 같은 특수 목적 영상을 처리할 경우 에지가 강조된 영상을 필요로 한다. 또한 프린터, 팩시밀리, LCD TV 등과 같은 이진 출력 장치에 연속 계조 영상을 표현하기 위한 디지털 해프토닝 방법 중 오차 확산 방법으로 이진 영상을 생성할 경우 에지가 흐려진다. 본 논문은 회로도나 설계도 등의 영상 뿐 아니라 이진 출력 장치 등에 사용되는 이진 영상의 에지를 강조하는 방법을 제안한다. 인간의 눈은 한 화소의 명암값이 아니라 국부 평균을 인식한다는 것을 이용하여 제안 방법은 원화소의 명암값과 $3{\times}3$ 블록의 평균 명암값과의 차이 값에 공간적 위치 값에 따른 가중치를 결합하여 국부 공간 변화량(LAM: local activity measure)을 사용한다. 제안된 시스템은 또한 LAM에 평균 명암도를 곱하여 얻어진 에지 강조 정보량(IEE: information of edge enhancement)을 사용한다. IEE를 양자화기 입력에 더하여 이진 영상의 에지를 강조한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 제안 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 영상의 에지가 강조되어 시각적으로 선명한 영상을 생성한다. 또한 거리에 따른 에지 상관도와 로컬 평균 일치도를 이용하여 제안 방법과 기존 방법의 특성을 분석한다.

Injury caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), known as oxidative stress, is one of the major damaging factors in plants exposed to environmental stress. Chloroplasts are specially sensitive to damage by ROS because electrons that escape from the photosynthetic electron transfer system are able to react with relatively high concentration of $O_2$ in chloroplasts. To cope with oxidative stress, plants have evolved an efficient ROS-scavenging enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and low molecular weight antioxidants including ascorbate, glutathione and phenolic compounds. To maintain the productivity of plants under the stress condition, it is possible to fortify the antioxidative mechanisms in the chloroplasts by manipulating the antioxidation genes. A powerful gene expression system with an appropriate promoter is key requisite for excellent stress-tolerant plants. We developed a strong oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase (SWPA2) promoter from cultured cells of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) as an industrial platform technology to develop transgenic plants with enhanced tolerance to environmental stress. Recently, in order to develop transgenic sweetpotato (tv. Yulmi) and potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Atlantic and Superior) plants with enhanced tolerance to multiple stress, the genes of both CuZnSOD and APX were expressed in chloroplasts under the control of an SWPA2 promoter (referred to SSA plants). As expected, SSA sweetpotato and potato plants showed enhanced tolerance to methyl viologen-mediated oxidative stress. In addition, SSA plants showed enhanced tolerance to multiple stresses such as temperature stress, drought and sulphur dioxide. Our results strongly suggested that the rational manipulation of antioxidative mechanism in chloroplasts will be applicable to the development of all plant species with enhanced tolerance to multiple environmental stresses to contribute in solving the global food and environmental problems in the 21st century.

Two different kinds of subjects are discussed. One is " Enhanced color space for displays" and the other one is"An application for large format displays". Originally defined color space by NTSC has never been used widely for TVs and information displays as there have been no available display devices. LCD panels with new light sources for backlighting will provide much wider color space. LCD monitors which use these new panels will meet almost 100% with the color space defined by NTSC or Adobe. Now, It is the time to deploy wider color space defined by such as the NTSC or Adobe as the standard of LCD display panels. As the large format display devices with reasonable price have not been available till plasma panels became available, application of these panels as an information display in public space is a quite new experience for us. Various kinds of practical applications are observed and coming out. It will generate many and new types of businesses.

In virtual reality, there are increasing qualitative development in service technologies for realtime interaction system development, 3- dimensional contents, 3D TV and augment reality services. These services experience difficulties to generate depth value that is essential to recover 3D space to form solidity on existing contents. Hence, research for the generation of effective depth-map using 2D is necessary. This thesis will describe a shortcoming of an existing depth-map generation for the recovery of 3D space using 2D image and will propose an enhanced depth-map generation algorithm that complements a shortcoming of existing algorithms and utilizes the definition of depth direction based on the vanishing point within image.

Knowledge-based numeric open caption recognition is proposed that can recognize numeric captions generated by character generator (CG) and automatically superimpose a modified caption using the recognized text only when a valid numeric caption appears in the aimed specific region of a live sportscast scene produced by other broadcasting stations. in the proposed method, mesh features are extracted from an enhanced binary image as feature vectors, then a valuable information is recovered from a numeric image by perceiving the character using a multiplayer perceptron (MLP) network. The result is verified using knowledge-based hie set designed for a more stable and reliable output and then the modified information is displayed on a screen by CG. MLB Eye Caption based on the proposed algorithm has already been used for regular Major League Base-ball (MLB) programs broadcast five over a Korean nationwide TV network and has produced a favorable response from Korean viewer.

최근 UHDTV(ultra high definition television)가 가정에 보급이 많이 되고 있는 추세지만, UHD급 콘텐츠가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 저해상도 FHD(full high definition) 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 변환시켜 재활용할 수 있는 초해상화(super-resolution, SR) 기술의 필요성이 커졌다. 그 중, 다층의 레이어로 구성된 다층 선형 매핑(multi-layer linear mappings, MLLM)을 기반으로 하는 제안된 초해상화 기법은 상대적으로 낮은 복잡도로 좋은 품질의 고해상도 영상을 복원할 수 있었다. 최근에는 강화 예측법을 추가하여 복원된 고해상도 영상의 품질을 더 향상시키는 기법이 등장하였는데, 이를 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 제안했었던 MLLM 기법을 위한 강화 예측법 기법을 새롭게 제안한다. 제안하는 초해상화 기법은 기존 MLLM 기법과 딥러닝 기반 초해상화 기법보다 높은 품질의 고해상도 영상을 생성하는 것을 확인하였다.
