In this paper, we propose motion estimation and compensation using Low-Band-Shift(LBS) with Integer Lifting Shift property. To overcome shift-variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was previously proposed. This method which is applied to reference frame in video coding technique has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. For the enhancement of those disadvantages, we propose motion estimation using Low-Band-Shift with Integer Lifting. The Integer Lifting implementation gives us good efficiency of calculation and storage.

Hydrophobic core variant of ubiquitin appeared to have partially folded structure at pH around 2. The intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence emission maximum of this ubiquitin variant at pH 2 showed slight blue shift compare to that of unfolded state, suggesting that some residual tertiary structures remain in this solvent condition. At the same solvent condition, this ubiquitin variant binds with hydrophobic dye, 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid(AMS), which is known to bind to exposed hydrophobic surface. Furthermore, far-UV circular dichroic spectrum of this ubiquitin variant in the diminished pH was remarkably different from the far-UV CD spectrum of the native state or unfolded state. Based on the molar ellipticity at 220 nm, this ubiquitin variant at pH 2 appeared to have significant amount of secondary structures. All these observations suggest that this ubiquitin variant in the diminished solvent pH has loosely folded hydrophobic core with some secondary structures, which are key features of molten globule conformation. Since molten globule has long been considered as a protein folding intermediate, it is considered that this hydrophobic core variant ubiquitin will serve as a valuable model to study protein folding process.

In this paper, enhanced multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) using reduction of one-pixel shift in wavelet domain is proposed. Conventional multiresolution motion estimation using hierarchical relationship of wavelet coefficient has difficulty for accurate motion estimation due to shift-variant property by decimation process of the wavelet transform. Therefore, to overcome shift-variant property of wavelet coefficient, two level wavelet transform is performed. In order too reduce one-pixel shift on low band signal, S$_4$ band is interpolated by inserting average value. Secondly, one level wavelet transform is applied to the interpolated S$_4$ band. To estimate initial motion vector, block matching algorithm is applied to low band signal S$_{8}$. Multiresolution motion estimation is performed at the rest subbands in low level. According to the experimental results, proposed method showed 1-2dB improvement of PSNR performance at the same bit rate as well as subjective quality compared with the conventional multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) methods and full-search block matching in wavelet domain.

Let $G$ be a metrizable, ${\sigma}$-compact locally compact abelian group with a compact open subgroup. In this paper we define the Gramian and the dual Gramian operators for shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$ and we use them to characterize shift generated dual frames for shift in- variant spaces, which forms a frame for a subspace of $L^2(G)$. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for which standard dual is a unique SG-dual frame of type I and type II.

SPECT technology is used for the reconstructed image in the field of industry noncontact measurement system. One of the distortion problems in reconstructed image quality is a collimator characterictic. The image distortion is caused by a geometrical structure of the collimator. This paper indicated a correction method to remove the image distortion by the structure of the collimator, and compared with the existing correction method. The correction. method removed the image distortion to use deconvolution of projection data with the shift-variant blurring function in the frequency domain. In this pater, I simulated with the collimator angle and distance between the detector and the center of object. and verified with expeimental data. The validity and limitation of correction method is studied for actual industrial applications.

Automatic hematology analyzers provide the leukocyte differential count and the useful flags of the various hematological parameters. We compared LH 750 (Beckman Coulter Co., Miami, FL, USA) with manual method on differential leukocyte counts and evaluated the usefulness of the suspect flags, provided by this instrument. The comparison of leukocyte differential counts between two methods showed good correlation coefficient (r), which were 0.95 (neutrophil), 0.92 (lymphocyte), 0.82 (monocyte) and 0.95 (eosinophil). The frequency of the total flags displayed on LH 750 were 15.5%, which included immature granulocyte/left shift 63.5%, nucleated RBC 14.6%, platelet clumps 13.1%, variant lymphocyte 50% and blast 16.6%. This instrument showed higher positive predictive value in the flags such as platelet clumps 68.8%, immature granulocyte/left shift 61.5%, nucleated RBC 27.3%, variant lymphocyte 50% and blast 16.7%. In this study, the leukocyte differential counts of LH 750 showed good correlation with manual method and the suspect flags also showed a good performance for applying the criteria of re-examination in the clinical laboratory.

In this paper, a wavelet-based stereo matching algorithm to obtain an accurate disparity map in wavelet transformed domain by using a shift ability property, a modified wavelet transform, the similarities for their sub-bands, and a hierarchical structure is proposed. New approaches for stereo matching by lots of feature information are to utilize translation-variant results of the sub-bands in the wavelet transformed domain because they cannot literally expect translation invariance in a system based on convolution and sub-sampling. After the similarity matching for each sub-band, we can easily find optimal matched-points because the sub-bands appearance of the shifted signals is definitely different from that of the original signal with no shift.

For efficient hardware (HW) implementation of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), various sub-modules for the underlying finite field operations should be implemented efficiently. Among these sub-modules, modular inversion (MI) requires the most computation; therefore, its performance might be a dominant factor of the overall performance of an ECC module. To determine the most efficient MI algorithm for an HW ECC module, we implement various classes of MI algorithms and analyze their performance. In contrast to the common belief in previous research, our results show that the right-shift binary inversion (RS) algorithm performs well when implemented in hardware. In addition, we present optimization methods to reduce the area overhead and improve the speed of the RS algorithm. By applying these methods, we propose a new RS-variant that is both fast and compact. The proposed MI module is more than twice as fast as the other two classes of MI: shifting Euclidean (SE) and left-shift binary inversion (LS) algorithms. It consumes only 15% more area and even 5% less area than SE and LS, respectively. Finally, we show that how our new method can be applied to optimize an HW ECC module.

In this paper, we propose a Multiresolution Motion Estimation(MRME) adapted to Low-Band-Shift(LBS) method in wavelet domain. To overcome shift-variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was previously proposed. This method which is applied to reference frame in video coding technique, has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. In this paper, The computational complexity of the proposed method(LBS-MRME) is about 15.6% of that of existing method at 3-level wavelet transform. And although it has about 7 times as much as existing method's motion vector since each subband has different motion vector, it decreases motion compensated prediction error by detailed motion estimation, and then has better efficient coding performance. The experimental results with the proposed method showed about 0.3∼11.6% improvement of MAD performance in case of lossless coding, and 0.3∼3.0㏈ improvement of PSNR performance at the same bit rate in case of lossy coding.

In an attempt to shift the optimal pH of the xylanase B (XynB) from Aspergillus niger towards alkalinity, target mutation sites were selected by alignment between Aspergillus niger xylanase B and other xylanases that have alkalophilic pH optima that highlight charged residues in the eight-residues-longer loop in the alkalophilic xylanase. Multiple engineered XynB mutants were created by site-directed mutagenesis with substitutions Q164K and Q164K+D117N. The variant XynB-117 had the highest optimum pH (at 5.5), which corresponded to a basic 0.5 pH unit shift when compared with the wild-type enzyme. However, the optimal pH of the XynB-164 mutation was not changed, similar to the wild type. These results suggest that the residues at positions 164 and 117 in the eight-residues-longer loop and the cleft's edge are important in determining the pH optima of XynB from Aspergillus niger.
