One hundred fifty one specimens of Beauveria spp. from 19 different locations were collected from September 1 to August 31, 2002. Most of the isolates were identified as Beauveria. bassiana. Cordyceps staphylinidaecola collected from Mt. Obong in Chunchon City covered the host with mycelia which were produced 1 to 4 stromata along with asexual spores. The size of bright yellow ununiform stromata were about 45 mm and the head about $17mm{\times}4mm$. Perithecia completely immersed were $530{\sim}550{\times}290{\sim}300{\mu}m$ in size and mainly scattered on the head. Ascospore produced in asci in the size of $400{\sim}450{\times}4{\sim}5{\mu}m$ developed thread-like secondary spores, which were directly separated into secondary conidial spores. Conidia produced at apical portion of synnemata were $2.6{\sim}3.4{\times}1.2{\sim}1.9{\mu}m$ in size. High density of mycelium was observed at $25^{\circ}C$ ranged from pH 6.5 to 8.5 after 11 days of inoculation. It took 15 to 18 days after inoculation to fully grow on the medium mixed brown rice with pupa. Mycelium developed stromata on the medium 30 days after completion of mycelial growth, where perithecia were produced in 40 days.

일반적으로 음성은 시간함수로 표현되며 음성인식에서 표준모델을 모델링하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 음절 단어, 연속음성을 발성할 때 자음과 모음에 따라 발성시간에 차이가 있으며 이를 잘 모델링하는 것 또한 음성인식에서는 중요한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강건한 음향모델을 학습하기 위해 시간의 변화와 상태분할과정에서의 모델의 변화를 고려하여 다양한 구조의 초기모델을 작성하였다. 각 초기모델에 의한 HM-Net 문맥의존 음향모델은 음소결정트리 기반 SSS 알고리즘(PDT-SSS)을 이용하였다. PDT-SSS 알고리즘은 미지의 문맥정보를 해결하기 위해 문맥방향과 시간방향으로 목표 상태수에 도달할 때까지 상태분할을 수행하여 모델을 작성하는 방법이다. 음성의 시간변이를 고려한 강건한 문맥의존 음향모델을 작성하기 위해 설정한 각 모델의 구조에 대한 유효성을 확인하기 위해 국어공학센터의 452 단어를 대상으로 음소와 단어인식 실험을 수행한 결과. 음소인식의 경우 상태수 2000개에서 2상태 구조의 모델에 비해 4상태 구조가 약 11.4% 향상된 인식성능과 39.2초의 인식시간을 단축할 수 있었다. 또한 단어인식의 경우 상태수 2000개에서 1상태 구조의 모델에 비해 4상태 구조가 약 5% 향상된 인식성능과 4상태 구조에서 한 단어를 인식하는데 평균 0.8초가 소요되었다. 따라서 강건한 문맥의존 음향모델을 작성하기 위해 수행한 초기모델의 구조에 관한 연구가 향후 음성인식 시스템을 구축하는데 유효함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A microbiological study for the isolation and characterization of Leptospira interrogans was performed in an attempt to define the characteristics of Leptospirosis in Korea. The results are summerised as follows. Thirty-five cultures were isolated from 11 patients with leptospirosis and 24 wild rodents captured in Paju area. The isolation rate of Leptospira from wild rodents reached 23.1%. All 35 cultures were identified as Leptospira interrogans by their characteristic morphology and motility in dark field microscopy, pathogenecity in Guinea pig and sensitivity to 8-Azaguanine. Cultures formed diffuse subsurface colonies with hazy margin and were catalase, peroxidase and oxdase positive. The fifty percent lethal dose of isolate HM 4 in Guinea pig was $8.9{\times}10^4$ org. Mouse passage method was sucecssfully applied in maintenance of fresh isolates without any loss of their original virulency.

The deblocking filter (DF) reduces blocking artifacts in encoded video sequences, and thereby significantly improves the subjective and objective quality of videos. Statistics show that the DF accounts for 5-18% of the total decoding time in high-efficiency video coding. Therefore, speeding up the DF will improve codec performance, especially for the decoder. In view of the rapid development of multicore technology, we propose a parallel DF scheme based on a modified order of accessing the coding tree units (CTUs) by analyzing the data dependencies between adjacent CTUs. This enables the DF to run in parallel, providing accelerated performance and more flexibility in the degree of parallelism, as well as finer parallel granularity. We additionally solve the problems of variable privatization and thread synchronization in the parallelization of the DF. Finally, the DF module is parallelized based on the HM16.1 reference software using OpenMP technology. The acceleration performance is experimentally tested under various numbers of cores, and the results show that the proposed scheme is very effective at speeding up the DF.

Regional cerebral perfusion was evaluated in 15 normal controls by single photon emission computed tomography using $^{99m}Tc$ HM-PAO. For quantitative analysis, 13 pairs of homologous region of interest (ROI) were drawn on three transverse slices matching the vascular territories and cerebral cortices, and normal values of 3 semiqunatitative indices including 'Right to left ratio'(R/L ratio), 'Regional index'(RI), and 'Region to cerebellum ratio'(R/cbll ratio) were calculated. Mean values of R/L ratios of homotogous regions were ranged from 0.985 to 1.023, and mean ${\pm}2$ s.d. of all regions did not exceed 11% of mean. Significant difference of RIs (mean count per voxel of a ROI/mean count per voxel of total ROIs) between regions were found (p<0.001) with highest values in occipital cortex and cerebellum. After attenuation correction, RIs in deep gray, cranial portion of anterior cerebral artery and vascular territories in the 2nd slice increased significantly (p < 0.05-0.001), but vise versa in other ROIs. Region to cerebellum ratios also showed regional difference similar to RIs.

In this paper, the fast encoding algorithm in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoder was studied. For the encoding efficiency, the current HEVC reference software is divided the input image into Coding Tree Unit (CTU). then, it should be re-divided into CU up to maximum depth in form of quad-tree for RDO (Rate-Distortion Optimization) in encoding precess. But, it is one of the reason why complexity is high in the encoding precess. In this paper, to reduce the high complexity in the encoding process, it proposed the method by determining the maximum depth of the CU using a hierarchical clustering at the pre-processing. The hierarchical clustering results represented an average combination of motion vectors (MV) on neighboring blocks. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could achieve an average of 16% time saving with minimal BD-rate loss at 1080p video resolution. When combined the previous fast algorithm, the proposed method could achieve an average 45.13% time saving with 1.84% BD-rate loss.

HEVC is the latest joint video coding standard with ITU-T SG16 WP and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11. Its coding efficiency is about two times compared to H.264 high profile. Intra prediction has 35 directional modes including dc and planer. However an accurate mode decision on lots of modes with SSE is too costly to implement it with hardware. The key idea of this paper is a DCT shared architecture to reduce the complexity of HEVC intra encoder. It is to use same DCT block to quantize as well as to calculate SSE in RDO. The proposed intra encoder uses two step mode decision to lighten complexity with simplified RDO blocks and shares the transform resources. Its BD-rate increase is negligible at 20% on hardware aspect and the operating clock frequency is 300MHz@60fps on FHD ($1920{\times}1080$) image.

By analyzing the observations from a number of ground- and space-based instruments, including ionosonde, magnetometers, and ACE interplanetary data, we examine the response of the ionospheric TEC over Korea during 2003 magnetic storms. We found that the variation of vertical TEC is correlated with the southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field $B_z$. It is suggested that the electric fields produced by the dynamo process in the high-latitude region and the prompt penetration in the low- latitude region are responsible for TEC increases. During the June 16 event, dayside TEC values increase more than 15%. And the ionospheric F2-layer peak height (hmF2) was ${\sim}300km$ higher and the vertical $E{\times}B$ drift (estimated from ground-based magnetometer equatorial electrojet delta H) showed downward drift, which may be due to the ionospheric disturbance dynamo electric field produced by the large amount of energy dissipation into high-latitude regions. In contrast, during November 20 event, the nightside TEC increases may be due to the prompt penetration westward electric field. The ionospheric F2-layer peak height was below 200km and the vertical $E{\times}B$ drift showed downward drift. Also, a strong correlation is observed between enhanced vertical TEC and enhaaced interplanetary electric field. It is shown that, even though TEC increases are caused by the different processes, the electric field disturbances in the ionosphere play an important role in the variation of TEC over Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to research the revision efficiency of the referenced specifications/standards for raw and subsidiary materials in the field of national defense. Methods: Firstly, it was carried out to investigate the all of the Korean military drawings and establish the database for specifications/standards referenced in the field of national defense. Secondly, it was reviewed the validity of referenced specifications/standards of raw and subsidiary materials. Finally, proposal documents were made for invalid referenced specifications/standards of raw and subsidiary materials in order to suggest alternative specifications/standards. Results: All of the specifications/standards referenced in the Korean military drawings were 11,924 kinds and raw and subsidiary specifications/standards were 2,711 kinds. The proposal documents for revision of invalid referenced specifications/standards were suggested and approved by the military procurement standardization committee of DAPA (Defense Acquisition Program Administration). Therefore, the revision process of 472 kinds of referenced specifications/standards and 160,177 papers of the Korean military drawings were finished. Conclusion: Based on the results of this investigation, it could be significantly reduce to administrative costs and efforts through revision of referenced specifications/standards instead of conventional engineering change.

The performance of gadolinium burnable absorber (GdBA) for reactivity control in UO₂ and (U, Th)O₂ fuels and its impact on spent fuel characteristics was performed. Five fuel assemblies: one without GdBA fuel rod and four each containing 16, 24, 34 and 44 GdBA fuel rods in both fuels were investigated. Reactivity swing in all the FAs with GdBA rods in UO₂ fuel was higher than their counterparts with similar GdBA fuel rods in (U, Th)O₂ fuel. The excess reactivity in all FAs with (U, Th)O₂ fuel was higher than UO₂ fuel. At the end of single discharge burn-up (~ 49.64 GWd/tHM), the excess reactivity of (U, Th) O₂ fuel remained positive (16,000 pcm) while UO₂ fuel shows a negative value (-6,000 pcm), which suggest a longer discharge burn-up in (U, Th)O₂ fuel. The concentration of plutonium isotopes and minor actinides were significantly higher in UO₂ fuel than in (U, Th)O₂ fuel except for ²³⁶Np. However, the concentration of non-actinides (gadolinium and iodine isotopes) except for ¹³⁵Xe were respectively smaller in (U, Th)O₂ fuel than in UO₂ fuel but may be two times higher in (U, Th)O₂ fuel due to its potential longer discharge burn-up.
