지문의 특이점은 인식이나 분류를 수행할 때 중요한 특징이다. 특이점 추출은 영상의 품질에 민감하기 때문에, 정확한 추출을 위해 영상의 품질을 향상시키는 것이 필요하다. 다양한 이미지 필터를 적절히 적용하면 개별필터를 적용하는 것에 비해 더 높은 품질을 얻을 수 있지만, 영상 필터가 다양할수록 성능이 좋은 필터 조합을 찾는 것이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 특이점 추출율이 좋은 필터 조합을 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 진화에 의해 성능이 좋은 필터 조합을 자동으로 찾아주며, 전문가의 지식이 필요하지 않기 때문에 영상 개선의 여러 분야에 적용될 수 있다. 제안하는 방법을 NIST DB 4에 적용한 결과 기존의 영상 개선 방법보다 높은 성능을 획득하였다.

This paper proposes the design of LQ-PSS(linear quadratic power system stabilizer) for improving power system stability using genetic algorithm(GA). We are tuned weighting matriecs of LQ-PSS using GA. To evalute the usefulness of the proposed method. we performed the nonlinear simulation on a single machine infinite system. As results of the simulation. the proposed method shows the better control performance than CPSS(conventional power system stabilizer) in trems of settling time and damping effects.

This paper presents a method for optima] placement of series capacitors in order to improve the power system transient stability, using genetic algorithms. For the formulation, this paper considers the objective function which is the energy margin as the difference between transient energy and critical energy. The most important factor in determining an accurate critical energy is the controlling unstable equilibrium point (UEP). This paper proposes the controlling UEP methods, concurrently with the DFP(Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method, which enables the enhancement of multi-machine analysis. The proposed method is applied to 6-bus, 7-line, 4-machine model system to show its effectiveness in determining the locations to install series capacitors and the it's size to be installed in system, simultaneously.

Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (MGAT) is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol (DAG) and triacylglycerol (TAG). However, the subcellular localization and catalytic function domain of this enzyme is poorly understood. In this report, we identified that murine MGAT1 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) under normal conditions, whereas MGAT1 co-localize to the lipid droplets (LD) under conditions of enriching fatty acids, contributing to TAG synthesis and LD expansion. For the enzyme activity, both the N-terminal transmembrane domain and catalytic HPHG motif are required. We also show that the transmembrane domain of MGAT1 consists of two hydrophobic regions in the N-terminus, and the consensus sequence FLXLXXXn, a putative neutral lipid-binding domain, exists in the first transmembrane domain. Finally, MGAT1 interacts with DGAT2, which serves to synergistically increase the TAG biosynthesis and LD expansion, leading to enhancement of lipid accumulation in the liver and fat.

영상 개선은 영상처리의 전처리 단계로, 주로 영상필터를 사용하여 영상처리의 성능을 향상시킨다. 각종 목적에 맞는 다양한 영상 필터가 제안되고 있으며, 복수의 필터를 적응하여 보다 좋은 효과를 얻기도 한다. 다양한 영상 필터를 적절히 적용하면 하나의 필터를 사용하는 것보다 더 높은 품질을 얻을 수 있지만, 영상 필터가 다양할수록 우수한 필터 조합을 찾는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 문제에 적절한 필터 조합을 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 진화에 의해 성능이 좋은 필터 조합을 자동으로 찾기 때문에, 전문가의 지식이 필요하지 않고, 영상 개선의 여러 분야에 적용될 수 있다. 제안하는 방법을 임펄스 노이즈 제거를 위해 적용하였고, 기존의 영상 개선 방법보다 높은 성능을 획득하였다.

A STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC) based FACTS controller using Gate Turn Off (GTO) power semiconductor devices employed for reactive power control. The operation principal is similar to that of a synchronous condenser. A typical application of a STATCOM is voltage regulation at the midpoint of a long transmission line for the enhancement of power transfer capability and/or reactive power control at the load centre. This paper presents the modeling of STATCOM with twenty four pulse three level VSC and Type-1 controller to regulate the reactive current or the bus voltage. The performance is evaluated by transient simulation. It is observed that, the STATCOM shows excellent transient response to step change in the reactive current reference. While the eigenvalue analysis is based on D-Q model, the transient simulation is based on both D-Q and 3 phase models of STATCOM (which considers switching action of VSC).

The use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) has widely increased due to its enhancement in the ultimate strength and ductility of the reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This study presents a prediction model for the axial compressive strength and strain of normal-strength concrete cylinders confined with CFRP. Besides, soft computing approaches have been extensively used to model in many areas of civil engineering applications. Therefore, the genetic expression programming (GEP) models to predict axial compressive strength and strain of CFRP-confined concrete specimens were used in this study. For this purpose, the parameters of 283 CFRP-confined concrete specimens collected from 38 experimental studies in the literature were taken into account as input variables to predict GEP based models. Then, the results of GEP models were statistically compared with those of models proposed by various researchers. The values of R² for strength and strain of CFRP-confined concrete were obtained as 0.897 and 0.713, respectively. The results of the comparison reveal that the proposed GEP-based models for CFRP-confined concrete have the best efficiency among the existing models and provide the best performance.

Mitophagy, the selective degradation of damaged or surplus mitochondria using core autophagy machinery, plays an essential role in maintaining cellular mitochondrial function. Impaired mitophagy is closely linked to various human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers and kidney disease. Defective mitophagy induces the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and thereby results in a decline in cellular survival and tissue function. Accordingly, enhancement of mitophagy has been proposed as a novel strategy for the treatment of human diseases closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent studies showing that the stimulation of mitophagy has a therapeutic effect on several disease models highlight the possibility of disease treatment using mitophagy. The development of mitophagy inducers with toxicity and the identification of molecular mechanisms will enable the clinical application of mitophagy-based treatments.

Six microsatellite DNA markers were used to investigate the genetic variability between wild populations and cultured stocks of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. The average of observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.722 to 0.959, and from 0.735 to 0.937, respectively. There was no distinguishable difference between the wild populations and cultured stocks in terms of the observed and expected heterozygosities. However, number of alleles per locus differed markedly between the two fish groups: 19.7 to 21.8 for the wild populations and 12.0 to 14.7 for the cultured stocks. This result gives important information concerning the production of seedling for the improvement of genetic diversity in this species.
