In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the performance analysis of the sidelobe blanker (SLB) in radar system, which is based on the matrix pencil method (MPM). In general, the SLB in radar is composed of the main antenna, the auxiliary antenna, and the processing unit. The auxiliary antenna with wide beamwidth receives interference signals such as jamming or clutter signals. The main antenna with high gain receives the target signal in the main beam and the interference signals in the sidelobe. In this paper the Swerling model is used as the target echo signal by considering a probabilistic radar cross section (RCS) of the target. To estimate the SLB performance it needs to calculate the probability of target detection and the probability of blanking the interference by using the signals received from the main and auxiliary antennas. The detection probability and the blanking probability include multiple summations of infinite series with infinite integrations, of which convergence rate is very slow. Increase of summation range to improve the calculation accuracy may lead to an overflow error in computer simulations. In this paper, to resolve the above problems, we used the MPM to calculate a summation of infinite series and improved the calculation accuracy and the convergence rate.

H.264/AVC에서는 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용하여 부호화 성능을 이전 보다 대폭 향상시켰다. 율-왜곡 최적화 기법은 선택할 수 있는 모든 코딩 모드들의 비용을 계산한 후, 최소의 비용을 가진 모드를 선택하여 부호화를 한다. 따라서 코딩 모드들이 많아질수록 복잡도 역시 증가하며, 기존 표준보다 다양한 코딩모드를 지원하는 H.264에서는 복잡도가 더 많이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 SAHTD(Sum of Absolute Hadamard Transform Difference)를 이용하여 화면 내 모드 결정부에서 빠른 화면내 모드 결정을 하면서도 압축 손실이 적게 발생하는 방법을 제시하였다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$블록, 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$블록 모두 SAHTD를 기준으로 최적의 모드가 결정된다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록에서 SAHTD값에 따라 $4{\times}4$블록 부호화 과정을 조기 종결이 가능하게 하는 것과, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$에서는 SAHTD 값이 가장 낮은 3개의 모드와 MPM(Most Probable Mode)을 후보 모드로 선택하여 율-왜곡 최적화를 수행하는 방식이 사용되었다. MPM이 SAHTD값이 가장 낮을 경우 MPM이 휘도신호 $4{\times}4$블록의 최적의 모드로 선택되고 종료된다. JM 참조 소프트웨어를 통한 실험결과 제안된 기법은 기존 JM의 방식에 비해 화면 내 프레임의 부호화 시간의 84.7% 감소와 0.049dB의 PSNR 감소율, 0.595%의 비트 증가율을 보여주었다.

Background: To determine prognostic value of excision repair cross-complementation 1 (ERCC1) in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Materials and Methods: The study included 60 patients with MPM who were diagnosed and treated in the Radiation Oncology Department of Kayseri Teaching Hospital and Medical Oncology Department of Erciyes University, Medicine School between 2005 and 2013. By using immunohistochemical methods, ERCC1 expression in biopsy specimens was evaluated. We retrospectively assessed whether there is a correlation between ERCC1 and response to anti-neoplastic therapy or survival. Results: There were 50 men and 10 women with median age of 62 years (range: 39-83). Histological type was epithelial mesothelioma in the majority of the cases (85%), most commonly presenting in stage four. Of the cases, 20 (33%) received radiotherapy, 60 (%100) received first-line chemotherapy and 15 (%25) received second-line chemotherapy. In the assessment after therapy, it was found that there was partial response in 12 cases (20%), stable disease in 19 cases (31.4%) and progression in 25 cases (41.7%). ERCC1 was positive in 43% of the cases. Mean OS was 11.7 months and mean DFS was 9.5 months in ERCC1-positive cases regardless of therapy, while they were 19.2 months and 17.1 months in ERCC1-negative cases, respectively. The difference was found to be significant (p<0.05). In univariate analysis, stage, comorbidity, response to treatment and ERCC1 expression were found to be significantly associated with OS (p=0.083; p=0.043; p=0.041; p=0.050). In multivariate analysis, response to treatment remained to be significant for OS (p=0.005). In univariate and multivariate analyses, response to treatment and ERCC1 were found to be significantly associated with DFS (p=0.049; p=0.041). Conclusions: ERCC1 was identified as poor prognostic factor in patients with MPM.

The mode perturbation method (MPM) is suitable and efficient for solving the eigenvalue problem of a nonuniform soil deposit whose property varies with depth. However, results of the MPM do not always converge to the exact solution, when the variation of soil deposit property is discontinuous. This discontinuity is typical because soil is usually made up of sedimentary layers of different geologic materials. Based on the energy integral of the variational principle, a new mode perturbation method, the energy-based mode perturbation method (EMPM), is proposed to address the convergence of the perturbation solution on the natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes and is able to find solution whether the soil properties are continuous or not. First, the variational principle is used to transform the variable coefficient differential equation into an equivalent energy integral equation. Then, the natural mode shapes of the uniform shear beam with same height and boundary conditions are used as Ritz function. The EMPM transforms the energy integral equation into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations which significantly simplifies the eigenvalue solution of the soil layer with variable properties. Finally, the accuracy and convergence of this new method are illustrated with two case study examples. Numerical results show that the EMPM is more accurate and convergent than the MPM. As for the mode shapes of the uniform shear beam included in the EMPM, the additional 8 modes of vibration are sufficient in engineering applications.

Purpose : We investigated the possible added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) in staging of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) compared to computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 20 patients (M;F = 14:6; mean age, 53.5 yrs) who diagnosed as MPM by histology and underwent CT and MR at initial evaluation from Jan 1997 to Dec 2012. Two radiologists performed clinical staging by using CT alone or MR alone in consensus. In patients underwent surgery (n = 13), we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MR in terms of staging compared to surgical staging. In all patients, we compared clinical staging of CT only and CT with MR. Results: The diagnostic accuracy for T staging of CT only was 23.1% (3/13) and that of combined CT and MR was 38.5% (5/13), respectively. Among 13 patients underwent surgery, surgical stage was higher than combined CT and MR stage in 5 patients, but lower in 3 patients. CT only and combined CT and MR agreed in 85.0% (17/ 20). In cases of disagree (15.0%, 3/20), combined CT and MR showed higher stage than CT only. Conclusion: Combined CT and MR increases the diagnostic accuracy in staging of MPM compared to CT only and is important in determining the appropriate treatment in patients being considered for surgery.

The shape of the register mark for the image processing becomes very important, because the printing quality is determined by the error correction between the register marks for the image processing. In this paper, printing marks are developed using the image process for the gravure printing method which is commonly being used in roll to roll, high resolution printing. The marks which can be cited to the flexible display print are developed The developed register marks which satisfies 10[${\mu}m$] error tolerance are tested under 70[mpm] printing conditions and confirmed through the experiments.

M2M can provide the bi-directional services between applications and objects which have the attached telecommunication module. It consists of the objects, platform, and (web based) applications. M2M can realize In-Transit Visibility and Asset Visibility combined with GIS. Although many applications of M2M, such as metering, monitoring, controlling, tracking et al., are being serviced, the interoperability among the M2Ms is not considered. In this paper, we described the interoperability. Specially, ROA, which is the state of art technology in mash-up, more than SOA, and URN, which is based on Open API in RESTful service, more than URL are studied. As the message protocol between platform and applications, MPM was defined.

Penetration problems in geomechanics are common. Usually the soil is heavily disturbed around the penetrating bodies and large deformations and distortions can occur. The simulation of the installation of displacement piles is a good example of the interest of these types of problems for geomechanics. In this paper the Material Point Method is used to overcome the difficulties associated with the simulations of problems involving large deformation and full displacement type penetration. Recent modifications of the Material Point Method known as Generalized Interpolation Material Point and the Convected Particle Domain Interpolation are also used and evaluated in some of the examples. Herein a footing submitted to large settlements is presented and simulated, together with the processes associated to a driven pile under undrained conditions. The displacements of the soil surrounding the pile are compared with those obtained by the Small Strain Path Method. In addition, the Modified Cam Clay model is implemented in a code of MPM and used to simulate the process of driving a pile in dry sand. Good and rather encouraging agreement is found between compared data.
