  • 본 논문은 시각 장애인을 위한 감정 음성 자막 서비스를 생성하는 종단 간(end-to-end) 감정 음성 합성 시스템(emotional text-to-speech synthesis system, TTS)의 음성 합성 속도를 높이면서도 합성음의 음질을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 기존에 사용했던 전역 스타일 토큰(Global Style Token, GST)을 이용한 감정 음성 합성 방법은 다양한 감정을 표현할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있으나, 합성음을 생성하는데 필요한 시간이 길고 학습할 데이터의 동적 영역을 효과적으로 처리하지 않으면 합성음에 클리핑(clipping) 현상이 발생하는 등 음질이 저하되는 양상을 보였다. 이를 보안하기 위해 본 논문에서는 새로운 데이터 전처리 과정을 도입하였고 기존의 보코더(vocoder)인 웨이브넷(WaveNet)을 웨이브알엔엔(WaveRNN)으로 대체하여 생성 속도와 음질 측면에서 개선됨을 보였다.

  • 지난 반세기 동안내분비 장애물질의 제한없는 생산과 무분별한 소비, 방출, 폐기는 물, 흙, 공기 등 자연을 오염시켜 왔다. 그 결과 생태계의 야생동물이 오염되어, 생식과 발생의 이상이 일어나고, 멸종이 예견되기에 이르렀다. 또한 동물 자신은 물론, 후세대에 내분비계의 교란을 일으켜 정상적인 성생활, 발생과 생식의 기형, 정자수 감소 등의 불임유발, 성행동, 신경계와 면역계의 이상, 암까지 유발하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 암이 개체의 사멸을 일으키는 반면, 내분비 장애물질은 체내에 잔류되며 대를 이어 전달되고, 사멸하여도 환경의 오염원이 되어 먹이사슬로 축적된다는 의미에서 야생동물은 물론 인간의 미래를 어둡게 만든다고 판단되고 있다. 그러므로 이들이 야생동물의 생식과 발생에 미치는 영향, 먹이사슬내의 이동 및 오염 확산을 개관하고자 하였다. 또한 이에 대처하기 위한 국내외 연구동향을 기술하고, 또 중요한 물질의 생산 현황을 요약하고, 발생과 생식을 전공하는 연구자 제위에게 관심을 유도하고자 하였다.

  • We determine the rotation velocities of 108 spiral and irregular galaxies (XV-Sample) from first-order rotation curves from position-velocity maps, based on short 21-cm observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). To test the usual random motion corrections, we compare the global HI linewidths and the rotation velocities, obtained from kinematical fits to two-dimensional velocity fields for a sample of 28 galaxies (RC-Sample), and find that the most frequently used correction formulae (Tully & Fouque 1985) are not very satisfactory. The rotation velocity parameter (the random-motion corrected HI linewidth: W?), derived with these corrections, may be statistically equal to two times the true rotation velocity, but in individual cases the differences can be large. We analyse, for both RC- and XV-Samples, the dependence of the slope of, and scatter in the Tully-Fisher relation on the definition of the rotation velocity parameters- For the RC-Sample, we find that the scatter in the Tully-Fisher relation can be reduced considerably when the rotation velocities derived from rotation curves are used instead of the random-motion corrected global H I linewidths. No such reduction in the scatter is seen for XV-Sample. We conclude that the reduction of the scatter in the Tully-Fisher relation seems to be related to the use of two-dimensional velocity information: accurate rotation velocity and kinematical inclination.

  • Getting evidence in to practice tends to focus on strategies, theories and studies that aim to close the gap between research knowledge and clinical practice. The evidence to practice gap is more about systems than individual clinician decision making. The absence of evidence for administration and management in the organization of healthcare is persistent. Teaching nurses and providing evidence as the solution to evidence-based healthcare is no longer axiomatic. Previous studies have concluded that unit level strategies integrate multi-professional teams with organizational needs and priorities. This 'best fit' approach that characterizes how healthcare is structured and delivered. The published literature shows that increased readiness for change is aligned with integrated approaches informed by conceptual models. The Joanna Briggs Collaboration is the largest global collaboration to integrate evidence within a theory informed model that brings together academic centres, hospitals and health systems for evidence synthesis, transfer and implementation. The best approaches to implementation are tailored to local culture and context, benchmark against international evidence, combine a theory informed model and stakeholder perspectives to improve the structure and processes of health care policy and practice.

  • Although it has recently been reported that Acanthopanax senticosus has a protective effect against the development of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia, its underlying molecular mechanisms have remained to be elucidated. In this study, we observed that treatment of an extract of A. senticosus (ASE) reduced body weight and adiposity and improved glucose tolerance in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. HFD-induced weight gain in white adipose tissues and liver was also significantly reduced in ASE-treated HFD-fed mice, which was found to be contributed by suppression of mRNA expression of genes involved in fatty-acid uptake and fat synthesis in white adipose tissue. ASE treatment also attenuated M1 macrophage activation, increased regulatory T ($T_{reg}$) cell population, and modulated leptin/adiponectin profile that might alleviate chronic inflammation to protect against HFD-induced insulin resistance. Our findings suggest a therapeutic potential of ASE for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes without adverse effects such as weight gain and dyslipidemia.

  • Objectives: In the past few years, herbal medicines have gained popularity over synthetic drugs because of their natural source and minimal side effects which has led to a tremendous growth of phytopharmaceuticals usage. With the development of nanotechnology, it provides alternative approaches to overcome several limitations using nano-formulations. In spite of considerable quantity of antianemic preparations with different iron forms available, currently additives are used and represented in modern pharmaceutical market. Iron deficiency anemia is a major global public health problem which particularly affects pregnant women, children and elderly persons. The situation is complicated because of disadvantages and drug side effects from existing antianemic medicines. There is a great demand for the development of new antianemic preparations. Green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles, possess high potential in this field. Methods: Our study focuses on developing green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) of 10-50 nm with spherical shape where different dosages were used -1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg for exposure in Wistar albino female rats for 28 days. The toxicity was assessed using various parameters such as measurements of the rat body and organ mass, hematology, biochemical evaluation and histopathological examinations. Results: No significant differences were observed in body and organ weights. Hematological indices also indicated no significant differences whereas biochemical factors showed increase in levels of direct bilirubin and globulin of medium as well as high dose and SGPT levels were increased only in high dose. The major organs (heart, kidney and liver) showed histopathological alterations in 10 and 100 mg/kg whereas brain showed only in 100 mg/kg. Conclusion: The toxicity of IONPs was found to be more significant when the concentration was increased; however, low doses can be used for further investigation as an antianemic preparation.

  • Seismic performance evaluation systems require rational classification of structure systems, proper evaluation criteria, and their scoring index for synthesis. Current seismic performance systems need expert judgments based on collection of available data, approximate analysis of important items, and various scoring system. This study presents a three-step seismic performance evaluation system for building structures in Korea. Each evaluation step determines the seismic performance and the method depends on the degree of refinement of analysis. The preliminary step evaluation involves the global attributes of structures such as vertical irregularity, asymmetric plan, redundancy, and age of structures. The second step requires an elastic analysis for estimation of forces acting on critical sections and checks the strength and ductility. The final step requires inelastic capacity of structures. Each stephas own evaluation scheme with proper weighing factor dependent on the importance and consequence. This study applies the fuzzy theory to a scoring method that synthesizes the individual quantity to a representative value.
