  • Noninvasive detection of patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) is of great importance for assisting a medical doctor's decision for early treatment of AD patients. In the present study, we have extracted quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) variables, which can be potentially used to diagnose AD, from resting eyes-closed continuous EEGs of 22 AD patients and 27 age-matched normal control (NC) subjects. We have extracted qEEG variables from mean phase coherence (MPC) and EEG coherence, evaluated for all possible combinations of electrode pairs. Preliminary trials to discriminate the two groups with the extracted qEEG variables demonstrated that the use of MPC as a supplementary or alternative measure for the EEG coherence may enhance the accuracy of noninvasive diagnosis of AD.

  • A phase delay spectrum model towards the representation of spatial coherence of stochastic wind fields is proposed. Different from the classical coherence functions used in the spectral representation methods, the model is derived from the comprehensive description of coherence of fluctuating wind speeds and from the thorough analysis of physical accounts of random factors affecting phase delay, building up a consistent mapping between the simulated fluctuating wind speeds and the basic random variables. It thus includes complete probabilistic information of spatial stochastic wind fields. This treatment prompts a ready and succinct scheme for the simulation of fluctuating wind speeds, and provides a new perspective to the accurate assessment of dynamic reliability of wind-induced structures. Numerical investigations and comparative studies indicate that the developed model is of rationality and of applicability which matches well with the measured data at spatial points of wind fields, whereby the phase spectra at defined datum mark and objective point are feasibly obtained using the numerical scheme associated with the starting-time of phase evolution. In conjunction with the stochastic Fourier amplitude spectrum that we developed previously, the time history of fluctuating wind speeds at any spatial points of wind fields can be readily simulated.

  • Purpose: Coordinated activity between the jaw and neck muscles is important in oral motor tasks such as chewing. This study examined coherence between the jaw and neck muscles during chewing in healthy adults. Methods: A total of 12 healthy adults underwent electromyography (EMG) of the jaw and neck muscles during right-sided chewing at a frequency of 1 Hz. Surface electrodes were placed over the temporalis (TA), masseter (MS), anterior digastric (DA), and sternocleidomastoid (SM) muscles on the right side. EMG signals were processed for coherence and phase analysis using advanced signal processing techniques. Results: The MS and TA muscle pair exhibited high synchronization when chewing (median coherence=0.992). Contrarily, the coherence values between the MS and DA, as well as the MS and SM muscle pairs, were relatively low (median coherence=0.848 and 0.957, respectively). Phase analysis revealed minimal temporal differences between the MS and TA muscle pair and the MS and SM muscle pair, whereas substantial phase shifts were observed between the MS and DA muscle pair. Conclusions: During chewing in healthy adults, the TA muscle works synergistically whereas the DA muscle antagonistically with the MS muscle, and the SM muscle supports the activity of the MS muscle. The observed synchrony and coordination provide insights into the intricate interplay among these muscles during oral motor tasks.

  • 동적 광단층 탄성영상법은 광 결맞음 단층촬영법을 기반으로 하여 위상차에 의해 조직의 기계적 성질 중 하나인 탄성도를 측정하기 위한 기법이다. 광 결맞음 단층촬영법은 마이켈슨 간섭계를 기반으로 한 비침습적 고해상도 단면 촬영기법이다. 본 논문에서는 광단층 탄성영상법을 생체 조직에 적용하기 전에 실행가능성을 판단하고자 강도를 쉽게 구분할 수 있는 지우개, 스펀지, 샤프심으로 샘플을 제작하여 실험을 진행하였다. 샘플에 사인파의 일정한 진동자극을 가하기 위해 압전액추에이터를 샘플의 아래쪽에 위치시켰으며 위쪽에서 광 결맞음 단층촬영법으로 스캔하였다. 깊이마다 횡방향에 대한 변형속도를 힐버트 변환하여 포락선을 검출한 후 포락선의 높낮이를 색깔로 표현하여 이미지 상에서 샘플 내의 상대적인 강도를 비교할 수 있었다. 또한, 샘플단과 참조단 사이의 간섭을 이용하는 것보다 샘플단 내의 자기간섭을 이용할 경우 변형속도 계산에 있어 장점이 있음을 제시하였다.

  • We present the results of the first simultaneous dual-frequency VLBI observation with KVN (Korean VLBI Network). The KVN has a unique multi-frequency receiving system performing simultaneous observations at four frequencies, such as 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz, in order to calibrate the atmospheric phase fluctuations, which cause a severe degradation of an interferometric coherence in mm-VLBI regime. In order to test the multi-frequency phase referencing capability of KVN, we observe the bright continuum VLBI source, NRAO 150 at two different frequencies of 21.7 (K band) and 43.4 (Q band) GHz simultaneously. The VLBI fringe phases at K and Q bands show a tight correlation of phase behaviors and the results of phase referencing (residual phase, coherence etc) are promising for achieving excellent phase referencing observations with KVN. The KVN will be able to open new perspectives in the multi-frequency study of VLBI.

  • 본 논문은 호수에서의 원활한 수중음향통신을 위해 호수의 수중 채널 환경에 따른 통신 변수들을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서는 실제 호수 환경에서의 두 번의 실험을 통하여 상관 시간과 상관 대역폭을 산출하였다. 두 번의 실험에서 채널 추정과 비트오류율 산출을 위해 chirp 신호와 BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) 신호를 전송하였고, 각각의 실험은 송신단과 수신단과의 거리가 300 m에서 400 m일 때와 500 m에서 600 m일 때 진행하였다. 첫 번째 실험과 두 번째 실험에서 각각 산출한 상관 시간은 175 msec와 340 msec이고, 상관 대역폭은 10 Hz와 5.71 Hz이다. 동기 신호의 길이와 프레임 내 파일럿 신호의 간격이 상관 시간보다 짧은 경우에만 동기화와 비트오류율 성능이 더 우수하여 산출한 실험 결과가 적절함을 확인하였다.

  • The correction of image artifacts due to misadjustment in tuning of RF coils (tip angle) and in the RF single sideband spectrometer was investigated using phase cycling of the $\pi$/2 and $\pi$ pulses in spin-echo sequences. A general procedure was developed for the systematic design of phase cycles that select desirable coherence transfer pathways. To analyze a phase cycling sequence, changes in the coherence level and phase factor for each RF pulse in the spin-echo cycle must be determined. Four different phase cycling schemes (FIXED, ALTERNATE, FORWARD, REVERSED) to suppress unwanted signal components such as mirror and ghost images were evaluated using two signal acquisitions. When the receiver phase factor is cycled counter-clockwise (REVERSED), these artifacts are completely removed.

  • Proton detected Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) and Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence (HSQC) essentially provide the same information - correlation of the chemical shift of the proton to J-coupled hetero nuclei such as $^{13}C$ or $^{15}N$ nuclei. This paper is a practical note for the students who ask which one is better and which methods they use routinely. Artifact suppression using phase cycling and gradient pulses are discussed.
