본 논문에서는 360 비디오의 특성을 이용하여 픽쳐 경계에서 코딩 효율을 증가시키는 움직임 벡터 예측 방법을 제안한다. VVC의 화면간 예측에서 움직임 벡터 후보군을 구성할 때 주변 블록의 위치가 픽쳐의 경계 바깥이면 후보군 구성 과정에서 제외되어 픽쳐 경계에서 코딩 효율이 감소하게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 360 비디오의 부/복호화를 위한 투영 방법의 특성을 이용하여 이미 복호화된 정보로부터 픽쳐의 경계에서 추가로 후보군을 구성하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 JVET-360 CTC의 임의 접근 환경에서 VTM6.0 및 360Lib9.1와 비교한다. 그 결과로써 제안하는 방법은 추가 계산 복잡도 없이 휘도 성분에서 평균 0.02%, 색차 성분에서 각각 평균 0.05%, 0.06%의 비트율 감소를 보이고, 픽쳐의 경계에서는 비트율이 휘도 성분에서 평균 0.29%, 색차 성분에서 각각 평균 0.45%, 0.43% 감소하였다. 그리고 DSCQS (Double Stimulus Continuous Quality-Scale) 방법을 통해 제안하는 방법의 주관적 화질 평가를 수행하여 MOS (Mean Opinion Score)값을 얻는다. MOS값은 평균 0.03 향상되었고, MOS값과 비트량을 이용하여 BD-MOS를 구한다. 그 결과, 제안하는 방법의 성능이 최대 8.78%, 평균 5.18% 향상하였다.

본 논문에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) 부호화 속도 향상을 위하여 주변 CU들의 정보를 활용한 고속 병합모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 표준화가 완료된 HEVC에서는 병합 후보 리스트(Merge Candidate List)에서 생성되는 동일한 후보 모드를 가진다. $2N{\times}2N$에 대하여 병합 모드와 병합 SKIP 모드(Merge SKIP mode)가 후보들을 공유하며 모드 검색을 수행한다. 이러한 병합과정은 후보 모드만큼 수행 후 병합 SKIP 모드 또한 필요에 따라 후보만큼 수행하는 검색과정은 반복 연산으로 복잡도를 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 부호화 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 제안된 방법에서는 이미 부호화된 시공간적 주변 블록들 및 상위 부호화 깊이 블록의 병합 (Merge) 정보를 활용하여 현재 부호화 블록의 모드를 조기에 결정한다. 주변 블록 정보가 모두 병합 SKIP 모드일 경우 조기에 병합 SKIP 모드만을 검색하도록 하고, 그렇지 않은 경우에는 기존의 병합 과정을 수행하도록 설계하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 HEVC의 부호화 시간보다 21.25%가 감소시킬 수 있으며, 화질 열화는 매우 적음을 보인다.

최근 해양 수중 산업의 발전으로 수중 센서 네트워크(UWASN: Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network)에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 수중 센서 네트워크를 효율적으로 운용하기 위해서는 노드 간 전송 충돌을 방지하고 통신 자원을 효율적으로 공유할 수 있는 매체 접속 제어(MAC: Medium Access Control) 프로토콜을 적용하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 수중 채널은 지상 무선 통신 환경과 달리 좁은 대역폭, 긴 전파 지연 시간, 낮은 전송률 등의 특성을 가지므로 지상 환경에서 개발된 비직교 다중 접속(NOMA: Non Orthogonal Multiple Access)의 노드 페어링 기법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수중 채널의 특수성을 고려한 수중 음향 센서 네트워크에서의 비직교 다중 접속 다차원 노드 페어링 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 기법들은 노드 페어링 시 채널 품질만을 고려하였다. 기존 기법과 달리 제안 기법에서는 채널 품질 뿐 아니라 노드 간 공평성, 트래픽 부하, 패킷의 나이를 추가로 고려하여 최적의 노드 쌍(node-pair)을 찾는다. 추가적으로, 송신 노드는 실제 경로 손실 대신 노드 쌍 가능 노드 목록(PNL: Pairable Nodes List)을 활용함으로써 노드 페어링 시의 계산 복잡도를 줄인다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 공평성 요소까지 고려한 제안 기법이 기존 기법 대비 최대 23.8% 전송률 증가, 28% 지연 시간 감소, 공평성은 최대 5.7% 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine trends in duplicate publication in Korean medical articles indexed in the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System(OASIS). Methods: We searched the list of papers published in Korean medical journals by using OASIS. We randomly extracted 10% of total articles (n=1,162). We searched using OASIS by entering keywords from the title and names of the first and last authors of each indexed article. After the librarian selected the candidates of duplicate publication, three authors reviewed the full texts of the articles independently. When their opinions were not in agreement, reconciliation was made by discussion. The patterns of duplicate publication, such as copy, salami slicing (fragmentation), and aggregation (imalas), were also determined. Results: A total of 1162 articles were evaluated, 24 (2.1%) index articles of which were duplicate articles. Among 24 index articles, Two were triple publications and 22 were double publications. The patterns of duplication publication were as follows; (1) copy (n=8, 33.3%); (2) salami (9, 37.5%), (3) imalas (5, 20.8%) (4) others (2, 8.3%). Conclusion: Duplicate publications have appeared in Korean medical journals in a small proportion. Education on publication ethics and authors'ethical awareness is needed.

Breast cancer encompasses a major portion of human cancers and must be carefully monitored for appropriate diagnoses and treatments. Among the many types of breast cancers, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis and the least cases reported. To gain a better understanding and a more decisive precursor for TNBC, two major histone modifications, an activating modification H3K4me3 and a repressive modification H3K27me3, were analyzed using data from normal breast cell lines against TNBC cell lines. The combination of these two histone markers on the gene promoter regions showed a great correlation with gene expression. A list of signature genes was defined as active (highly enriched H3K4me3), including NOVA1, NAT8L, and MMP16, and repressive genes (highly enriched H3K27me3), IRX2 and ADRB2, according to the distribution of these histone modifications on the promoter regions. To further enhance the investigation, potential candidates were also compared with other types of breast cancer to identify signs specific to TNBC. RNA-seq data was implemented to confirm and verify gene regulation governed by the histone modifications. Combinations of the biomarkers based on H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 showed the diagnostic value AUC 93.28% with P-value of 1.16e-226. The results of this study suggest that histone modification analysis of opposing histone modifications may be valuable toward developing biomarkers and targets for TNBC.

Jeotgal is a Korean traditional fermented seafood with a high concentration of salt. In this study, we isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from galchi (Trichiurus lepturus, hairtail) and myeolchi (Engraulis japonicas, anchovy) jeotgal on MRS agar and MRS agar containing 5% NaCl (MRS agar+5% NaCl), and identified them by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as culture-dependent methods. We also performed polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) as a culture-independent method to identify bacterial communities. Five samples of galchi-jeotgal and seven samples of myeolchi-jeotgal were collected from different regions in Korea. A total of 327 and 395 colonies were isolated from the galchi- and myeolchi-jeotgal samples, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MALDI-TOF MS revealed that the genus Pediococcus was predominant on MRS agar, and Tetragenococcus halophilus on MRS agar+5% NaCl. PCR-DGGE revealed that T. halophilus, Tetragenococcus muriaticus, and Lactobacillus sakei were predominant in both types of jeotgal. T. halophilus was detected in all samples. Even though the same species were identified by both culture-dependent and -independent methods, many species identified by the culture-dependent methods were not in the bacterial list identified by the culture-independent methods. The distribution of bacteria in galchi-jeotgal was more diverse than in myeolchi-jeotgal. The diverse LAB in galchi- and myeolchi-jeotgals can be further studied as candidates for starter cultures to produce fermented foods.

We present an analysis of the stellar population of compact elliptical galaxies (cEs) in various environments. Following conventional selection criteria of cEs, we created a list of cE candidates in the redshift range of z < 0.05 using SDSS DR12 catalog. We finally selected cEs with low-luminosity (Mg > 18.7 mag), small effective radius (Re < 600 pc), and high velocity dispersion (> 60 kms-1). We divide our cE sample into those inside and outside of the one virial radius of the bright (Mr < -21 mag) nearby host galaxy which is then defined as cEs with (cEw) and without (cEw/o) host galaxy, respectively. We investigated the stellar population properties of cEs based on the Hb, Mgb, Fe 5270, and Fe 5335 line strengths from the OSSY catalog. We found that cEw has a systematically higher metallicity than cEw/o. In the velocity dispersion-Mgb distribution, while cEw/o follows the relation of early-type galaxies, cEw are found to have a systematically higher metallicity than cEw/o at a given velocity dispersion. The different feature in the metallicity between cEw and cEw/o can suggest that two different scenarios can be provided in the formation of cEs. cEw would be the remnant cores of the massive progenitor galaxies that their outer parts have been tidally stripped by massive neighbor galaxies (i.e., nurture origin). On the other hand, cEw/o are likely to be faint-end of early-type galaxies maintaining in-situ evolution (i.e., nurture origin).

Solar proton events, whose fluxes are larger than 10 particles cm-2 sec-1 ster-1 for >10 MeV protons, have been observed since 1976. NOAA proton event list from 1997 to 2006 shows that most of the events are related to both flares and CMEs but a few fraction of events (5/93) are only related with CMEs. In this study, we carefully identified the sources of these events. For this, we used LASCO CME catalog and SOHO MDI data. First, we examined the directions of CMEs related with the events and the CMEs are found to eject from the western hemisphere. Second, we searched a major active region in the front solar disk for several days before the proton events occurred by taking into account two facts: (1) The location of the active region is consistent with the position angle of a given CME and (2) there were several flares in the active region or the active region is the largest among several candidates. As a result, we were able to determine active regions which are likely to produce proton events without ambiguity as well as their longitudes at the time of proton events by considering solar rotation rate, $13.2^{\circ}$ per day. From this study, we found that the longitudes of five active regions are all between $90^{\circ}W$ and $120^{\circ}W$. When the flare peak time is assume to be the CME event time, we confirmed that the dependence of their rise times (proton peak time - flare peak time) on longitude are consistent with the previous empirical formula. These results imply that five events should be also associated with flares which were not observed because they occurred from back-side.

Near-Earth objects consist of a mixture of bodies originated from outer solar system and main asteroidal belt, which are recognized as comets and near-Earth asteroids. In principal, they have orbits distinguishable by their orbital elements. It is, however, that some comets are recognized as asteroids because they could have lost the most of volatile materials in their subsurface layers. Due to their asteroidal appearances, it has been challenging to discriminate such dormant comets from a list of known asteroids. Here we propose to utilize polarimetric technique for finding such dormant comets. We thus conducted a polarimetric observations of three candidates of dormant comet nuclei, (331471) 1984 QY1, (3552) Don Quixote and (944) Hidalgo, by using the 1.6-m Pirka Telescope at the Nayoro observatory (operated by Hokkaido University, Japan). We selected these asteroids in comet-like orbits (ACOs) based on the orbital elements (i.e., the Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter TJ < 3). We found that 1984 QY1 has a polarimetric albedo (geometric albedo determined via polarimetry) pV = 0.16 +/- 0.06 while both Don Quixote and Hidalgo have Rc-band polarimetric albedos pR < 0.05. In accordance with the polarimetric result together with a dynamical analysis, we surmised that 1984 QY1 could be an S-type asteroid evolved into the current orbit via 3:1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter. On the contrary, the previous spectroscopic studies indicated that Don Quixote and Hidalgo are classified into D-type taxonomic group, which are typical of comet nuclei. In this presentation, we will introduce our polarimetric observations of ACOs and emphasize that polarimetry is powerful for discriminating the asteroidal and cometary origins.
