In this paper, we proposed covariance weight matrix using SPT matrix in order to accurate target estimation. We have estimated a target using modified covariance matrix and beam steering error method. We have minimized beam steering error in order to estimation desired a target. This method obtain optimum covariance weight using modified SPT matrix. This paper of proposal method is showed good performance than general method. We updated a weight of covariance matrix using modified SPT matrix. We obtain optimum covariance matrix weight to application beam steering error method in order to beam steering toward desired target. Through simulation, we showed that compare proposal method with general method. It have improved resolution of estimation target to good performance more proposed method than general method.

In this paper, we propose a robust blind watermarking scheme for high-definition video. In the embedding process, luminance component of each frame is transformed by 2-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2D FFT). A secret key is used to generate a matrix of random numbers for the security of watermark information. The matrix is transformed by inverse steerable pyramid transform (SPT). We embed the watermark into the low and mid-frequency of 2D FFT coefficients with the transformed matrix. In the extraction process, the 2D FFT coefficients of each frame and the transformed matrix are transformed by SPT respectively, to produce two oriented sub-bands. We extract the watermark from each frame by cross-correlating two oriented sub-bands. If a video is degraded by some attacks, the watermarks of frames contain some errors. Thus, we use an ensemble position-based error correcting algorithm to estimate the errors and correct them. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm is imperceptible and moreover is robust against various attacks. After embedding 64 bits of watermark into each frame, the average peak signal-to-noise ratio between original frames and embedded frames is 45.7 dB.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to evaluate whether salivary findings of active matrix-metalloproteinase 8 (aMMP-8) chairside (point of care; POC) tests were associated with periodontal risk assessment parameters in patients receiving supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). Methods: A total of 125 patients receiving regular SPT were included, and their records were examined. The following inclusion criteria were used: a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis, at least 1 non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planning) with following regular SPT (minimum once a year), at least 6 remaining teeth, and clinical and aMMP-8 findings that were obtained at the same appointment. In addition to anamnestic factors (e.g., smoking and diabetes), oral hygiene indices (modified sulcus bleeding index [mSBI] and approximal plaque index), periodontal probing depth simultaneously with bleeding on probing, and dental findings (number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth) were recorded. Salivary aMMP-8 levels were tested using a commercial POC test system (Periomarker, Hager & Werken, Duisburg, Germany). Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Fisher's exact test, and ${\chi}^2$ test, as appropriate (P<0.05). Results: Only the mSBI was significantly associated with positive salivary aMMP-8 findings (aMMP-8 positive: $27.8%{\pm}20.9%$ vs. aMMP-8 negative: $18.0%{\pm}14.5%$; P=0.017). No significant associations were found between aMMP-8 and smoking, diabetes, periodontal parameters, or parameters related to the maintenance interval (P>0.05). Conclusions: Salivary aMMP-8 chairside findings were not associated with common parameters used for periodontal risk assessment in patients receiving SPT. The diagnostic benefit of POC salivary aMMP-8 testing in risk assessment and maintenance interval adjustment during SPT remains unclear.

폴리(비닐 알코올) (PVA)과 폴리아크릴산-말레산-공중합체(PAM)의 블렌드를 수용액 상태로 얻은 후 점토인 사포나이트(SPT)를 분간시켜 필름 형태인 PVA/PAM/SPT의 나노복합재료를 합성하였다. 용액 삽입법을 이용하여 점토 함량을 0-9 wt%의 다양한 농도로 변화시켜 얻은 나노복합재료에 대해 분산도, 모폴로지 및 열적-기계적 성질 등을 각각 조사하였다. 점토 함량이 3 wt%일 때 점토 입자는 PVA/PAM 블렌드에 잘 분산되었으며, 점토함량이 7 wt%보다 많을 경우에는 고분자 모체에 일부 뭉친 구조가 관찰되었다. 나노복합재료의 열적 안정성은 점토함량이 9 wt%로 증가할 때까지 꾸준히 증가하였다. 인장 강도와 초기인장 탄성률은 점토 함량이 7 wt%일 때 최고값을 나타내었으나 그 이상의 점토 농도에서는 오히려 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과로부터 소량의 점토 첨가는 PVA/PAM 나노복합재료 필름의 열적, 기계적 성질을 증가시키는데 도움이 된다는 것을 알았다.

순수한 점토 5 wt%를 포함하는 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) 나노 복합체 필름을 수용액상에서 합성하였다. 합성된 PVA 복합체 필름에는 구조적으로 각각 다른 사포나이트(SPT), 몬모릴로나이트(MMT), 헥토라이트(SWN), 수용성 벤토나이트(PGV) 및 마이카(Mica) 등의 점토를 사용하였다. 이처럼 여러 가지 순수한 점토가 포함된 PVA 복합체 필름에 대해 열적-광학적 성질 및 모폴로지를 평가하였으며, 전자 현미경을 통해 관찰된 PVA 복합체 필름의 나노 구조에서는 점토가 매트릭스에 잘 분산된 부분도 있었지만, 일부에서는 뭉친 부분도 발견되었다. 점토를 사용한 PVA 복합체 필름의 경우에 열적 성질이나 가스 차단성을 증가시키는 데에는 매우 효과적이었지만, 이와는 반대로 광학 투명성에서는 그렇지 못하였다.

도래 방향 추정은 공간상에서 안테나에 수신된 원하는 신호의 입사 방향을 추정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 레이더에서 다중 빔 형성을 이용하여 신호 도래 방향을 추정하였다. 신호 도래 방향의 추정방법으로 본 논문에서는 빔 조향 제안 알고리즘과 공간 상관 행렬 가중치를 이용하였다. 모의실험을 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘 성능을 기존 알고리즘과 비교분석하였다. 목표물 도래방향 추정에서 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 고유치 전개를 하지 않기 때문에 처리시간 단축에서 효과적이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 목표물 추정에서 기존 알고리즘보다 우수함을 나타내었다.

For analyze of the bearing capacity, skin friction and settlements of pile on axial compressive loading, both Load transfer tests of pile and pile loading test in field have application to commonly before pile installing. A bearing capacity of pile was affected by the characteristics of surrounding ground of pile. Especially, that is very different because of evaluation of settlement due to each soil conditions of ground depths. The ground characteristics using evaluation of bearing capacity of pile through load transfer analysis depends on N values of SPT, and then a bearing capacity of pile installed soft ground and refilled area may be difficult to rational evaluation. An evaluation of bearing capacity on pile applied axial compressive loading was effected by strength of ground installed pile, unconfined compressive strength at pile tip, pile diameter, rough of excavated surface, confining pressure and deformation modules of rock etc and these are commonly including the unreliability due to slime occurred excavation works. Load transfer characteristics considered ground conditions take charge of load transfer of large diameter pile was investigated through case study applied load transfer tests. To these, matrix analytical technique of load transfer using finite differential equation developed and compared with the results of pile load test.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: UV radiation is a major factor contributing to DNA damage in skin cells, including stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells, leading to the depletion of these crucial cells. This study examined whether a mixture of Indian gooseberry and barley sprout (IB) could inhibit UVB irradiation and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced photoaging and oxidative stress in the skin using HaCaT, Hs27, and B16F10 cells. MATERIALS/METHODS: The moisturizing-related factors, the collagen synthesis-related c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Fos/c-Jun/matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) pathway, and the melanogenesis-related cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP-responsive binding protein (CREB)/melanocyte inducing transcription factor (MITF)/tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)/tyrosinase activation pathways were analyzed in vitro by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis. RESULTS: The IB complex increased the hyaluronic acid and sphingomyelin levels and the collagenase inhibitory activity, enhanced hydration-related factors, including collagen, hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS), elastin, long chain base subunit 1 (LCB1) (serine palmitoyltransferase; SPT), and delta 4-desaturase sphingolipid 1 (DEGS1), modulated the inflammatory cytokines levels, antioxidant enzyme activities and the NF-κB/MMPs/cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells, and inhibited wrinkle formation by down-regulation of the JNK/c-Fos/c-Jun/MMP pathway and up-regulation of the transforming growth factor-𝛽 receptor I (TGF𝛽R1)/small mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (Smad3)/procollagen type I pathway in UVB-irradiated Hs27 cells. Moreover, the IB complex prevented melanin production by down-regulating the PKA/CREB/MITF/TRP-1/TRP-2 pathway in IBMX-induced B16F10 cells. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the IB complex has the potential to serve as a safeguard, shielding the skin from UVB radiation-induced photo-damage.
