Cells in a culture process transform with time and produce many overlapping cells in their vicinity. We are interested in a separation algorithm for images of overlapping cells taken using a fluorescence optical microscope system during a cell culture process. In this study, all cells are assumed to have an ellipse-like shape. For an ellipse fitting-based method, an improved least squares method is used by decomposing the design matrix into quadratic and linear parts for the separation of overlapping cells. Through various experiments, the improved least squares method (numerically stable direct least squares fitting [NSDLSF]) is compared with the conventional least squares method (direct least squares fitting [DLSF]). The results reveal that NSDLSF has a successful separation ratio with an average accuracy of 95% for two overlapping cells, an average accuracy of 91% for three overlapping cells, and about 82% accuracy for four overlapping cells.

The normal coordinates of a nonclassically damped systems are coupled by nonzero off-diagonal elements of modal damping matrix. The relationship between modal coupling and the frequency separation of the natural modes is presented in this paper. Contrary to widely accepted beliefs, increasing the frequency separation of the natural modes does not neccessarily diminish the effect of modal coupling. Consequently, in the pratical engineering applications, wide frequency separation of the natural modes would not be sufficient for neglecting modal coupling.

A cross-linked leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) seed gum (CLLSG) matrix was prepared for the isolation of galactose-specific lectins by affinity chromatography. The matrix was evaluated for affinity with a known galactose-specific lectin from the seeds of snake gourd (Trichosanthes anguina). The matrix preparation was simple and inexpensive when compared to commercial galactose-specific matrices (i.e. about 1.5 US$/100 ml of matrix). The current method is also useful for the demonstration of the affinity chromatography technique in laboratories. Since leucaena seeds are abundant and inexpensive, and the matrix preparation is easy, CLLSG appears to be a promising tool for the separation of galactose-specific lectins.

UBSS (under-determined blind source separation)는 BMMR (blind mixing matrix recovery) 과정과 BSR (blind source recovery) 과정으로 구분된다. 일반적으로 이 두 과정은 취득된 데이터의 sparseness를 이용하여 수행되는데, 얼마나 sparseness를 정확히 측정하느냐에 따라 그 성능이 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 Gini 계수를 이용한 sparseness의 측정 방법을 BSR 과정에 도입하여, $l_1$-노름, $l_q$-노름과 쌍곡탄젠트 (hyperbolic tangent)를 이용하는 측정 방법들과 비교하였으며, 보다 정확한 sparseness 측정과 향상된 BSR 성능을 획득하였다. 이는 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 검증되었다.

다층 구조를 가진 5A 제올라이트를 탄소 분자체 분리막에 첨가한 복합막을 제조하고 질소/산소의 분리 특성을 평가하였다. 제올라이트의 첨가는 선택도에는 미세한 영향을 주지만 투과도를 크게 증가시키는 방법으로 전체적인 탄소막의 질소/산소의 분리 성능을 상승시켰다. 특히 메조포어를 함유한 다층구조의 제올라이트 첨가제는 분리막의 투과도를 보다 효율적으로 상승시켜 아주 우수한 분리 성능에 도달하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 저렴한 탄소막 전구체와 제올라이트 소재를 활용하고도 고성능의 질소/산소 분리막을 손쉽게 제조할 수 있다는 것을 제시한다.

$^{89}Zr$ with the favorable nuclear decay kinetics and chemical properties is an appealing radiometal for its application in immuno-PET using radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. Rising demand of ultrahigh purity and high-specific activity $^{89}Zr$ has propelled the radiochemist worldwide to develop an overall efficacious method for its promising separation from the target matrix $^{89}Y$. The requirement of elevated radiochemical purity (${\geq}$ 99.99%) has accelerated the efforts since last two decades to achieve higher decontamination and separation factors of carrier free $^{89}Zr$ over $^{89}Y$ using several suitable separation techniques. However, each of the technique has its own pros and cons which prior to its actual medical application needs to be optimized and thoroughly scrutinized to avoid further complications during radiolabelling of the pharmaceuticals. In this short review article we will specifically consider as well focus on the historical development and the recent advances on the radiochemical separation of $^{89}Zr$ from $^{89}Y$ which will be helpful for the separation scientist involved in this area to understand the existing available means and plan the strategy to investigate and develop the novel techniques to overcome the problems involved in the present methods.

A blind separation problem in a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) linear time-invariant (LTI) system with finite-alphabet inputs is considered. A discrete-time matrix equation model is used to describe the input-output relation of the system in order to make full use of the advantages of modern digital signal processing techniques. At first, ambiguity problem is investigated. Then, based on the results of the investigation, a new identifiability condition is proposed for the case of an input-data set which is widely used in digital communication. A probability bound such that an arbitrary input matrix satisfies the identifiability condition is derived. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulation is performed to demonstrate the validity of our suggestions.

For blind source separation of convolutive mixtures, FDICA(Frequency Domain Independent Component Analysis) algorithms are generally used. Since FDICA algorithm such as Sawada FDICA, IVA(Independent Vector Analysis) works on the frequency bin basis with a natural gradient descent method, it takes much time to converge. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve convergence speed in FDICA algorithm. The proposed method reduces the number of iteration drastically in the process of natural gradient descent method by applying a weighted inner product constraint of unmixing matrix. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method achieved large improvement of convergence speed without degrading the separation performance of the baseline algorithms.

고내열 및 고내화학적 특성을 갖는 미세다공성 고분자막의 개발을 위한 기초연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 고분자막 제조기법의 첨단기술로 등장한 열유도상 분리공정(Thermally Induced Phase Separation, 이하 TIPS)이 도입되었다. TIPS 공정은 고분자를 고분자의 용융점을 상회하는 온도에서 매우 미세하게 분산시킬 수 있는 희석제를 고분자와 함께 melt-blending하여 균일한 single phase의 용액을 만들고 이를 적당한 막의 형태로 성형한 후, 가해진 열을 제거하여 냉각시킴에 따라 polymer-rich phase 와 polymer-poor phase 로 구성되는 two phase system으로 상분리를 일으키는 방법이다. 이때 polymer-poor phase를 차지하는 희석제를 제거함에 따라 고분자 matrix 내에는 void volume이 형성되고, 그 결과 고분자 matrix 전체적으로 다공성이 부여되어 고분자막으로서의 기본적인 기능을 갖추게 된다.
