Time history dynamic structural analysis is a time consuming procedure when used for large-scale structures or iterative analysis in structural optimization. This article proposes a new methodology for approximate prediction of extremum point of the response history via wavelets. The method changes original record into a reduced record, decreasing the computational time of the analysis. This reduced record can be utilized in iterative structural dynamic analysis of optimization and hence significantly reduces the overall computational effort. Design examples are included to demonstrate the capability and efficiency of the Reduced Record Method (RRM) when utilized in optimal design of frame structures using meta-heuristic algorithms.

본 논문은 움직임 벡터의 높은 시$\cdot$공간 상관도 정보를 이용하여 계산량을 줄이면서 움직임 추정의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 새로운 블럭 정합 움직임 추정 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 고속 움직임 추정 방식들이 이용하는 탐색 영역내의 일관된 첫 번째 탐색 위치에서 움직임 벡터를 찾는 것이 아니라 움직임 벡터의 높은 시$\cdot$공간 상관도 정보를 이용하여 보다 정확한 탐색영역을 찾아 탐색 영역을 보정함으로써 보다 정확한 첫번째 탐색 위치를 중심으로 움직임 벡터를 탐색한다. 즉, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식의 핵심은 움직임 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위해서 보다 정확한 첫번째 탐색 위치를 찾는 것이다. 따라서 움직임 벡터의 시간적인 상관성을 이용하기 위해서 현재 프레임 블럭과 같은 좌표를 갖는 이전 프레임 블럭의 방향성을 조사한다. 또한 공간적인 상관성을 이용하기 위해서 현재 프레임내의 이웃 블럭들의 방향성을 조사한다. 이러한 블럭들이 갖는 방향성을 바탕으로 움직임 추정을 위한 첫번째 탐색 위치를 결정하게 되고 그 위치를 중심으로 일정한 탐색 패턴에 따라 움직임 벡터를 탐색하는 방식이다. 실험 결과 제안된 방식은 기존의 대표적인 고속 탐색 방식들에 비해 PSNR (Peak-to-Signal Noise Ratio) 값에 있어서 평균적으로 1.7dB 개선되고 영상에 따라 최고 3.6dB 정도 우수한 결과를 나타낸다. 또한 탐색 횟수에서는 기존의 대표적인 고속탐색 알고리즘인 3단계 탐색 알고리즘 (Three-step search algorithm) 보다 평균 50% 이상을 줄일 수 있었고, 정확한 움직임 벡터를 찾는 비교에 있어서도 월등히 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 제안된 방식은 정량적인 결과뿐만 아니라 부호화 후 복호화한 영상의 화질에 있어서도 다른 고속 탐색 알고리즘 보다 월등히 우수한 화질을 제공한다. 및 상품과율 등이 모두 10:0 양액보다 높게 나타났다. 식물체내의 무기성분은 8:2의 경우 K+ 및 Mg2+는 잎에서 Ca2+은 뿌리에서 많았으며 PO4-은 과실과 줄기에서 많았다. 10:0에서의 무기성분도 8:2에서와 같은 경향을 나타내었으며, 배지간에 무기성분의 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 양액조성에 따른 무기성분 함량의 차이는 K+, Ca2+ 및 Mg2+는 10:0에서, PO4-은 8:2에서 각각 많았다.uage. The major language of calligraphy pattern was Arabic script and often Persian script. Calligraphy pattern was composed of Kufic and Cursive script. The cursive script was developed various forms. The Islamic tenet prohibit depiction of sacred images, the sacred Arabic calligraphy such as ′Alla′ or ′Mohammad′ was substituted of them. And the content of calligraphy pattern was used with Quranic phrases. The aesthetics of Islamic patterns analyzed aesthetic of ′rhythmic lines′, aesthetic of ′unity in multiplicity′, aesthetic of tessellation and aesthetic of harmony. On the textiles of the Islamic culture, the arabesque, floral, geometric and calligraphy patterns were frequently used.의 증가를 나타냈다.". And the

Objective : Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that pathogenesis is not fully understood and one of the most intractable musculoskeletal diseases. The concern in the immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis has been increased since 1980's and many immunotherapeutic agents including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were developed and became the mainstay of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, the cure of the disease has hardly been achieved. In oriental medicine, rheumatoid arthritis is related to Bi-Zheng(痺證), that presents pain, swelling, andlor loss of joint function as major clinical manifestations, and also known to be deeply involved in suppression of immune function related to weakness of Jung-Ki(正氣). The herbal medicine, empirically used, could be a potential resource of development of new immunotherapeutic agents for rheumatoid arthritis. Methods : We developed a search strategy using terms to include "rheumatoid arthritis and herbal medicine" combined with "Chinese medicine" and/or "Oriental medicine". The search was focused on experimental studies of herbal medicine (January 1999 to May 2004), which is known to have effects on immune function of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Computerized search used Internet databases including KISS and RISS4U (Korea), CNKI (China), MOMJ (Main Oriental Medicine Journal, Japan), and PubMed. The articles were selected from journals of universities or major research institutes. Results : The literature search for experimental studies on effects of herbal medicine on immunity of rheumatoid arthritis retrieved a total of 21 articles (Korea; 8, China ; 12, Japan ; 1). Of 21 articles, 10 were related to single-drug formula, 2 to drug interaction, and 9 to multi-drug formula. Single-drug formula was mainly used for aqua-acupuncture and researches on active components. Studies of drug interaction emphasized harmony of Ki-Hyul(氣血) and balance of Han-Yeul(寒熱). Multi-drug regimen was mainly found among formulas for Bo-Ki-Hyul(補氣血) and Bo-Sin(補腎). Conclusion : Studies on rheumatoid arthritis were performed both in vitro and in vivo in vitro study, LPS-stimulated splenocytes and synoviocytes were treated with herbal medicine, resulting in proliferation and activation of immune cells and suppression of cytokine activities in vivo study CIA animal model demonstrated that herbal medicine decreased antibody production and improved function of immune cells. In cellular and molecular study herbal medicine showed profound effects on the level of mRNA expression of certain cytokines related to immune function. This study revealed that herbal medicine has significant immune modulatory action and could be used for recovery of immune dysfunction of rheumatoid arthritis patients.
