This paper aims at demonstrating the feasibility of active control of beams with a multiobjective state-feedback control technique. The multiobjective state-feedback controller is de­signed on a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for the multiobjective synthesis. The design objectives are to achieve a mix of Hoo performance and H2 performance satisfying constraints on the closed-loop pole locations in the face of model uncertainties. The controller is also designed to reject the effects of the noise and external of disturbances. For the theoretical analysis, the governing equation of motion is derived by Hamilton's principle to describe the dynamics of a smart structural system. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the integrated robust controller in damping out the multiple vibration modes of the piezo/beam system.

최근 얼굴 인식은 사용자의 편의성을 포함한 다양한 장점으로 인하여 생체 인식 시장에서 주요 기술로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 조명 변화에 기인한 얼굴 인식 성능의 저하는 실용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 조명 변화에 따른 얼굴의 외형 변화를 분석하는 연구들이 세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 방법들은 다수의 등록 영상이나 조명에 대한 사전 정보가 필요하거나 실시간으로 구현되기 어렵기 때문에 실용 시스템에 적용하기는 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는, 여러 조명 영상들로 구성된 학습 데이터를 이용하여, 조명에 대한 정보가 없는 한 장의 입력 영상을 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 SVDD를 이용하여 학습 데이터의 여러 조면 영상들로부터 입력 영상의 조명과 같은 대표영상을 합성하고 이 대표영상들의 선형 조합을 이용하여 입력 영상을 표현한다. 제안 방법의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 공인 얼굴 데이터베이스들을 이용하여, 기존 방법들과 비교 실험을 수행하였으며, 조명 변화가 큰 영상에서도 안정된 조명 변화의 분석이 가능하였다.

The performance of a mixed $H_{\infty}/H_2$ design with pole placement constraints based on robust vibration control for a piezo/beam system is investigated. The governing equation of motion for the piezo/beam system is derived by Hamilton's principle. The assumed mode method is used to discretize the governing equation into a set of ordinary differential equation. A robust controller is designed by $H_{\infty}/H_2$ feedback control law that satisfies additional constraints on the closed-loop pole location in the face of model uncertainties, which are derived for a general class of convex regions of the complex plane. These constraints are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) approach for the multiobjective synthesis. The validity and applicability of this approach for vibration suppressions of SMART structural systems are discussed by damping out the multiple vibrational modes of the piezo/beam system.

Pyrrolidine-2,3-dione derivative A was synthesized from oxalylation of chiral enamine Ba. The stereostructure of its major diastereomer $(A_{maj})$ was determined as octahydro-2,3-dioxo-6aS-hyd roxy-1-(1S-methoxycarbonyl-2-phenylethyl)-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole-3aR-carboxylic acid ethyl ester Aa by means of NMR spectrum. This result implied that the asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming reaction occurred preferentially at the ${\beta}-face$ of Ba.

The incidence of skin cancer has continuously increased in Korea, probably due to sun exposure and increases in the aging population. Ultraviolet light, a well-known risk factor for skin cancer, can cause DNA damage, mutation, and immune suppression, followed by abnormal proliferation. To prevent photocarcinogenesis, the appropriate use of sunscreen should be emphasized. Using broad-spectrum sunscreens with sun protection factor values of 15 or higher and frequent reapplication are recommended. Controversy exists about whether vitamin D synthesis is inhibited by the use of sunscreen. However, considering that skin cancer most commonly develops on the head and neck area, applying it to the face and neck is reasonable in terms of balancing the risk-benefit ratio.

마스크 쓴 얼굴에 대해 랜드마크 분석을 진행하기 위해서는 대량의 마스크가 착용된 얼굴 데이터셋이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 공개된 얼굴 데이터셋에 자동으로 마스크를 합성하여 대량의 마스크를 착용한 얼굴 데이터셋을 생성하는 시스템을 제안한다. 마스크는 얼굴의 많은 부분을 가리는 물체이다. 따라서 마스크를 쓴 얼굴에 대해서는 일반적인 얼굴 데이터셋으로 학습된 landmark detector가 잘 작동하지 않는다. landmark detector가 잘 작동하게 하려면 마스크를 쓴 얼굴에 대해서 학습을 시켜야 한다. 그러나 현재 마스크를 쓴 얼굴 이미지와 풍부한 landmark 정보를 함께 가지고 있는 데이터셋이 존재하지 않기 때문에 학습에 어려움이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 마스크 얼굴 이미지 데이터셋을 만들어내는 방법을 제안하고 마스크를 착용한 얼굴에도 잘 작동하는 랜드마크 검출기를 학습시켜 그 효용을 입증하였다.

A series of $CeO_2-TiO_2$ composite samples with different Ce/Ti molar ratios were prepared by the paper template. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm a face-centered cubic lattice of $CeO_2$ with Ce/Ti =8:2 or 9:1 and a two phase mixture of anatase titania and face-centered cubic ceria with Ce/Ti = 7 : 3. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results suggest that the products are micron braid structures consisting of fibers with diameters in a range of $1-6{\mu}m$ and lengths of several hundred micrometers. $N_2$ absorption-desorption testing shows that the composite at Ce/Ti molar fraction of 8 : 2 has the largest BET surface area (about $81m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$). Compared to the pure $CeO_2$ sample, the composites show superior catalytic activity for $H_2$ reduction and CO oxidation. For the micron braid structure $CeO_2-TiO_2$ composite (Ce/Ti = 8 : 2), due to the high surface area and the solid solution with appropriate $Ti^{4+}$ incorporation, the CO conversion at about $280^{\circ}C$ was above 50% and at $400^{\circ}C$ was 100%.

Carrot is one of the useful crops used abundantly in cooking in Western as well as Asia regions such as China and Korea. However, seed coats have hairs which should be removed to increase germination rate. Furthermore, because of seed hairs, farmers face several additional losses, such as time consumption, manpower, capital and so on, for seed handling. To prevent these problems, study of gene related hair formation using short-hair seed lines is required. We analyzed genes related to hair formation from seed through expressed sequenced tag (EST) profiling, based on the fact that the development of carrot seed hair is related to cellulose synthesis pathway in secondary cell wall synthesis stage. To study the gene expression related to hair formation of the carrot seed, a cDNA library was constructed by using the early maturation stage of the short-hair line (659-1) and hairy seed line (677-14). In short-hair (659-1) and hairy seed (677-14) lines, results from of EST profiling through BLASTX search analysis using the NCBI database showed that 172 and 224 unigenes had significant homology with known protein sequences, whereas 233 and 192 unigenes were not, respectively. All ESTs were grouped into 16 categories according to their putative functions. Twenty nine unigenes among all ESTs were considered to be genes regulating seed hair development from cellulose synthesis pathway during secondary cell wall synthesis stage; in results, 14 unigenes related to seed hair development were found only in hairy seed line.

Supernovae type Ia (SNe Ia) cosmology is providing the only direct evidence for the presence of dark energy. This result is based on the assumption that the look-back time evolution of SNe Ia luminosity, after light-curve shape correction, would be negligible. However, the most recent compilation of SNe Ia data shows systematic difference in the Hubble residual (HR) between the E and Sd/Irr galaxies, indicating that the light-curve fitters used by the SNe Ia community cannot quite correct for a large portion of the population age effect. In order to investigate this possibility more directly, we have obtained low-resolution spectra for 30 nearby early-type host galaxies. This data set is used to estimate the luminosity-weighted mean ages and metallicities of host galaxies by employing the population synthesis models. We found an interesting trend between the host galaxy age and HR, in the sense that younger galaxies have positive residuals (i.e., light-curve corrected SNe Ia luminosity is fainter). This result is rather independent of the choice of the population synthesis models employed. Taken at face value, this age (evolution) effect can mimic a large fraction of the HR used in the discovery of the dark energy. This result is significant at 1.4 - 3 sigma levels, depending on the light curve fitters adopted, and further observations and analyses are certainly required to confirm the trend reported here.

After successful advent of Microsoft's Kinect, many interactive contents that control user's 3D avatar motions in realtime have been created. However, due to the Kinect's intrinsic IR projection problem, users are restricted to face the sensor directly forward and to perform all motions in a standing-still position. These constraints are main reasons that make it almost impossible for the 3D character to navigate the virtual environment, which is one of the most required functionalities in games. This paper proposes a new method that makes 3D character navigate the virtual environment with highly realistic motions. First, in order to find out the user's intention of navigating the virtual environment, the method recognizes walking-in-place motion. Second, the algorithm applies the motion splicing technique which segments the upper and the lower motions of character automatically and then switches the lower motion with pre-processed motion capture data naturally. Since the proposed algorithm can synthesize realistic lower-body walking motion while using motion capture data as well as capturing upper body motion on-line puppetry manner, it allows the 3D character to navigate the virtual environment realistically.
