The 50 mole% HCl doped polyaniline(PAni) was synthesized by polymerization of aniline in the presence of hydrochloric acid and ammonium persulfate(APS) as dopant and oxidant, respectively. Then, conducting biodegradable cellulose acetate composite films were also prepared with PAni in acetone to find their applicability to antistatic packaging materials. The tensile strength of PCA05 film with 5 wt% of PAni was decreased by 27% from $377.1kg_f/cm^2$ for CA film itself to $275.2kg_f/cm^2$. Elongation was also decreased from 7.65% to 4.35%. Surface registance of $7.0{\times}10^9{\Omega}/sq$ could be achieved for the PCA containing 5 wt% of PAni. Therefore, this PCA05 film can be applied to antistatic package film for electronic board. In addition, decomposition temperature of these PCA films obtained by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) was decreased with the amount of PAni in PCA films, and the final weight of char was directly proportional to PAni contents. From this thermal result we can calculate the content of PAni in unknown PCA films.

In this paper, we propose a illumination-robust face recognition system using MCS-LBP and 2D-PCA algorithm. A binary pattern transform which has been used in the field of the face recognition and facial expression, has a characteristic of robust to illumination. Thus, this paper propose MCS-LBP which is more robust to illumination than previous LBP, and face recognition system fusing 2D-PCA algorithm. The performance evaluation of proposed system was performed by using various binary pattern images and well-known face recognition features such as PCA, LDA, 2D-PCA and ULBP histogram of gabor images. In the process of performance evaluation, we used a YaleB face database, an extended YaleB face database, and a CMU-PIE face database that are constructed under varying lighting condition, and the proposed system which consists of MCS-LBP image and 2D-PCA feature show the best recognition accuracy.

Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) has been widely used for postoperative pain control in medical surgery parts. Conventional intramuscular analgesia (IMA) is also effective in postoperative pain control, but it has some disadvantages that depend on patients' perception of pain and the anxiety that they endure caused by the delay of the injection time. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy and postoperative outcomes of intravenous PCA compared to IMA injections in 36 patients (BSSRO). Three factors were compared: amount of pain in PCA and IMA group ; amount of pain according to the sex in PCA and IMA group and the amount of pain according to the analgesia use. Results of this study did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in any of these, using a p value of 0.05. The results of this study were as follows. : 1. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS pain score between IMA group and PCA group. 2. There was no statistically significant difference according to the sex. 3. There was no statistically significant difference according to the amount of PCA. The history of PCA is about 30 years and many literatures have reported about its effects, complications, methods, advantages and disadvantages. So, this study has some limitations of small sample size to conclude the effects of PCA. But when the decision about the method for postoperative pain control has to be made, it should be made based on patient or physician preference and cost factors rather than on the trend.

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains one of the most widespread and perplexing of all human malignancies. Assessment of gene expression is thought to have an important impact on cancer diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic decisions. In this context, we explored combined expression of PCa related target genes AMACR and PCA3 in 126 formalin fixed paraffin embedded prostate tissues (FFPE) from Moroccan patients, using quantitative real time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR). This quantification required data normalization accomplished using stably expressed reference genes (RGs). A panel of twelve RG was assessed, data being analyzed using GenEx V6 based on geNorm, NormFinder and statistical methods. Accordingly, the hnRNP A1 gene was identified and selected as the most stably expressed RG for reliable and accurate gene expression quantification in prostate tissues. The ratios of both PCA3 and AMACR gene expression relative to that of the hnRNP A1 gene were calculated and the performance of each target gene for PCa diagnosis was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristics. PCA3 and AMACR mRNA quantification based on RT-qPCR may prove useful in PCa diagnosis. Of particular interesting, combining PCA3 and AMACR quantification improved PCa prediction by increasing sensitivity with retention of good specificity.

얼굴인식 분야에서 PCA(Principal Component Analysis) 기반 알고리즘은 비교적 간단한 구조와 높은 인식률로 인해 많이 사용되고 있지만 조명이나 얼굴 포즈 변화에 민감하다는 단점이 있다[1]. 이런 단점을 해결하기 위한 노력으로 PCA를 다른 얼굴인식 알고리즘과 결합함으로서 조명과 포즈 변화에 강인한 얼굴인식을 위만 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 PCA기반 얼굴인식에서 조명이 다양하게 변할 때 이에 따른 인식률의 변화와, 인식이 실패했을 경우에 인식 대상이 유사도 상위후보군에 들어가는지를 조사함으로서 PCA기반 알고리즘의 신뢰도를 확인하고자 한다. 이를 위해 Yale Face Database H와 Extended Yale Face Database B를 이용하여 실험한 결과 약 93%의 인식 성공률을 확인했으며, 7%의 인식 실패한 영상의 경우 그 인식하고자 했던 얼굴이 유사도를 기준으로 정렬된 학습 영상에서 상위 후보군에 속한다는 실험 결과를 얻음으로서 PCA기반 얼굴 인식 알고리즘의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Phenazine 1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is an antifungal antibiotic isolated from a culture filtrate of Bacillus sp. B-6 producing an acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor. This antibiotic is reported as an inhibitor of an acyl CoA synthetase from Pseudomonas sp.. Bacillus sp. B-6 was resistant to PCA up to 350 ${\mu}g/ml$. We investigated the mechanism of the resistance of Bacillus sp. B-6 to PCA. The rate of growth in a medium containing up to 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ was as rapid as the PCA-free medium. At a PCA concentration of 300 ${\mu}g/ml$, the growth rate was more than half that of the control. In this work, we purified acyl CoA synthetase from Bacillus sp. B-6 and found that this acyl CoA synthetase was much less sensitive to PCA than the acyl CoA synthetase from other source. These findings suggested that the insensitivity of Bacillus sp. B-6 acyl CoA synthetase plays an important role in the PCA resistance of this bacterium.

다수의 음원이 특정한 공간에 산재하고 있을 때, 그 중 특정 음원에 주목하면 다른 음원과 분리되어 특정 음원만 들리는 현상을 칵테일파티 현상이라고 한다. 심리적인 이 현상에 영감을 받아 음원을 분리하는 알고리즘이 만들어졌다. 이런 음원 분리방법을 Blind Source Separation(BSS) 이라고 하는데, 여러 신호가 섞이는 과정을 모르는 상태에서 음원을 분리한다는 뜻에서 Blind Source Separation 이라고 한다. BSS에 사용되는 알고리즘으로 주로 PCA, ICA이 있다. PCA는 2차원의 경우를, ICA는 그 이상의 고차원의 통계적 특성을 이용한다. 이에 본 논문은 PCA를 이용하여 두 음원을 분리하는 알고리즘을 구현하는데 역점을 두었다. PCA는 주로 음원보다는 이미지 신호 처리에 초점이 맞추어져 있지만, 음원 분리에 있어서도 충분한 성능을 보여주므로, ICA를 이용한 음원 분리 알고리즘과의 비교를 통하여 장, 단점을 알아보고 추후 PCA의 응용 가능성을 알아보았다.

Principal component analysis based two-dimensional (PCA-2D) correlation analysis is applied to FTIR spectra of polystyrene/methyl ethyl ketone/toluene solution mixture during the solvent evaporation. Substantial amount of artificial noise were added to the experimental data to demonstrate the practical noise-suppressing benefit of PCA-2D technique. 2D correlation analysis of the reconstructed data matrix from PCA loading vectors and scores successfully extracted only the most important features of synchronicity and asynchronicity without interference from noise or insignificant minor components. 2D correlation spectra constructed with only one principal component yield strictly synchronous response with no discernible a asynchronous features, while those involving at least two or more principal components generated meaningful asynchronous 2D correlation spectra. Deliberate manipulation of the rank of the reconstructed data matrix, by choosing the appropriate number and type of PCs, yields potentially more refined 2D correlation spectra.

본 논문에서는 얼굴인식에 주로 사용되는 PCA를 얼굴포즈판별로 적용해 보았다. 얼굴포즈판별은 개개인의 얼굴특징을 강조해야 하는 얼굴인식과는 달리 일반적인 얼굴특징을 이용하기 때문에 PCA에 적합한 응용분야이다. 그러나, 다양한 얼굴포즈에 대한 영상을 하나의 표본집합으로 사용하면, 표본집합의 분산이 크기 때문에 포즈별로 표본집합을 달리하여 PCA모듈을 구성하는 것이 타당하다. 표본수집의 어려움은 3차원 한국인 표준모형을 이용해 극복하고, 이를 통하여 다양한 조명방향 및 얼굴포즈에 대한 표본을 수집하였다. 5방향의 얼굴포즈에 대한 판별 실험을 통하여 모율화된 PCA의 분류기로서의 가능성을 살펴보고, 조명에 따른 오류를 완하하고자 비 선형적 패턴을 나타내는 각 PCA모듈의 결과를 신경망에 적용하여 보았다.

An improved principal component analysis (PCA) method is applied for sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) in a nuclear power plant (NPP) in this paper. Data pre-processing and false alarm reducing methods are combined with general PCA method to improve the model performance in practice. In data pre-processing, singular points and random fluctuations in the original data are eliminated with various techniques respectively. In fault detecting, a statistics-based method is proposed to reduce the false alarms of $T^2$ and Q statistics. Finally, the effects of the proposed data pre-processing and false alarm reducing techniques are evaluated with sensor measurements from a real NPP. They are proved to be greatly beneficial to the improvement on the reliability and stability of PCA model. Meanwhile various sensor faults are imposed to normal measurements to test the FDI ability of the PCA model. Simulation results show that the proposed PCA model presents favorable performance on the FDI of sensors no matter with major or small failures.
