Recently, the development of image processing technology, as well as hardware performance, has been continuing the research on 3D point processing technology that provides users with free viewing angle and stereoscopic effect in various fields. Point cloud technology, which is a type of representation of 3D point, has attracted attention in various fields because it can acquired/expressed point precisely. However, since Hundreds of thousands, millions of point are required to represent one 3D point cloud content, there is a disadvantage that a larger amount of storage space is required than a conventional 2D content. For this reason, the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), an international standardization organization, is continuing to research how to efficiently compress, store, and transmit 3D point cloud content to users. In this paper, a V-PCC bitstream generated by a V-PCC (Video-based Point Cloud Compression) encoder proposed by the MPEG-I (Immersive) group is composed of an MPU (Media Processing Unit) defined by the MMT. In addition, by extending the signaling message defined in the MMT standard, a parameter for a segmented transmission method of the 3D point cloud content by area and quality parameters considering the characteristic of the 3D point cloud content, so that the quality parameters can be selectively determined according to the user's request. Finally, in this paper, we verify the result through design/implementation of the verification platform based on the proposed technology.

MPEG 비디오 그룹은 MPEG-I 표준의 일부로 포인트 클라우드(Point Cloud) 압축을 위한 비디오 기반 포인트 클라우드 부호화(V-PCC)와 몰입형(immersive) 비디오 압축을 위한 MPEG Immersive Video(MIV) 표준을 개발하고 있다. 최근에는 포인트 클라우드 및 몰입형 비디오와 같은 체적형(volumetric) 비디오를 모두 압축할 수 있도록 V-PCC 와 MIV 를 통합한 V3C(Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding) 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 V3C 코덱을 사용한 3DoF+(3 Degree of Freedom plus) 비디오 부호화 방안을 분석한다. 또한 V3C 코덱의 2D 코덱으로 기존 HEVC 대신 VVC 를 사용할 경우의 부호화 성능 향상을 분석한다.

포인트 클라우드 데이터는 자율 주행 기술, 가상 현실 및 증강 현실에서 사용될 3차원 미디어 중 하나로 각광 받고 있다. 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)에서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위해 G-PCC(Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression) 및 V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)의 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 그 중, G-PCC는 본래 단일 프레임의 압축을 수행하는 정지 영상 압축 방식이지만, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) 센서를 통해 획득된 동적 포인트 클라우드 프레임에 대한 압축의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 G-PCC 그룹에서는 Inter-EM(Exploratory Model)을 신설하여 LiDAR 포인트 클라우드 프레임의 압축에 관한 연구를 시작하였다. Inter-EM의 압축 비트스트림은 G-PCC 비트스트림과 마찬가지로 효과적인 전송 및 소비를 위해 미디어 저장 포맷인 ISOBMFF(ISO-based Media File Format)으로 캡슐화될 수 있다. 이때, 포인트 클라우드 프레임들은 자율 주행 등의 서비스에 사용하기 위해 시간 도메인뿐만 아니라 공간 도메인을 기반으로도 소비될 수 있어야 하지만, 공간 도메인을 기반으로 콘텐츠를 임의 접근하여 소비하는 방식은 기존 2D 영상의 시간 도메인 기반 소비방식과 차이로 인해 기존에 논의된 G-PCC 캡슐화 방안만으로는 지원이 제한된다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 G-PCC 콘텐츠를 공간 도메인에 따라 소비하기 위한 ISOBMFF 캡슐화 방안에 대한 파일 포맷을 제안하고자 한다.

The kinetics of oxidation of substituted styryl 4-biphenyl ketones and of substituted styryl 2-fluorenyl ketones by pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) have been studied in 90% acetic acid- 10% water (v/v) containing perchloric acid and NaClO₄ at $10^0,\;20^0,\;30^0$ and 40℃. The reactions are first order in styryl ketones and PCC. The second order rate constants are well correlated only with σ$^+$ constants implying development of positive charge adjacent to benzene ring in the transition state. The effects of varying [HClO₄] and the percentage of acetic acid on the reactions have also been analysed. A mechanism involving nucleophilic attack of PCC leading to an unsymmetric intermediate from which epoxides are formed is proposed.

Objectives: Numerous studies have explored the causes and spread of outbreaks, yet there is a lack of research on post-coronavirus disease 2019 condition (PCC) in Korea. The goal of this study was to identify the various types of PCC and associated factors in discharged patients and to provide directions for the ongoing health management of confirmed patients. Methods: A telephone survey was conducted among 680 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients diagnosed between July 7, 2021 and August 26, 2021, in Dangjin, Chungnam, Korea. A descriptive analysis of characteristics, univariate analysis, and regression were performed using data from basic epidemiological surveys conducted at the time of diagnosis and post-discharge questionnaires. Results: Of the 585 patients who responded, 159 (27.2%) developed PCC. Of the 211 patients with no initial symptoms, 27 (12.8%) developed PCC, versus 132 (35.3%) of the 374 patients with initial symptoms. Among the initial symptoms, fever or chills, cough or sputum, loss of smell, and sore throat were associated with PCC. Compared to patients with less than 10 days of hospitalization, those with a hospitalization period of 21 days to 30 days (odds ratio [OR], 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0 to 5.2) and 31 days or more (OR, 5.8; 95% CI, 1.9 to 18.1) had a higher risk of PCC. Conclusions: More than a quarter of COVID-19 patients, including those who had no initial symptoms, experienced PCC in Korea. People with the initial symptoms of fever, chills, and respiratory symptoms and those who had prolonged hospital stays had a high risk of PCC.

Point cloud is a set of points for representing a 3D object, and consists of geometric information, which is 3D coordinate information, and attribute information, which is information representing color, reflectance, and the like. In this way of expressing, it has a vast amount of data compared to 2D images. Therefore, a process of compressing the point cloud data in order to transmit the point cloud data or use it in various fields is required. Unlike color information corresponding to all 2D geometric information constituting a 2D image, a point cloud represents a point cloud including attribute information such as color in only a part of the 3D space. Therefore, separate processing of geometric information is also required. Based on these characteristics of point clouds, MPEG under ISO/IEC standardizes V-PCC, which imitates point cloud images and compresses them into 2D DCT-based 2D image compression codecs, as a compression method for high-density point cloud data. This has limitations in accurately representing 3D spatial information to proceed with compression by converting 3D point clouds to 2D, and difficulty in processing non-existent points when utilizing 3D DCT. Therefore, in this paper, we present 3D Discrete Cosine Transform-based Point Cloud Compression (3DCT PCC), a method to compress point cloud data, which is a 3D image by utilizing 3D DCT, and confirm the efficiency of 3D DCT compared to V-PCC based on 2D DCT.

Stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) is an alternative material for strengthening of structural elements similar to fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). Finite element (FE) method based Numerical investigation for evaluation of axial strength of SSWM strengthened plain cement concrete (PCC) and reinforced cement concrete (RCC) columns is presented in this paper. PCC columns of 200 mm diameter with height 400 mm, 800 mm and 1200 mm and RCC columns of diameter 200 mm with height of 1200 mm with different number of SSWM wraps are considered for study. The effect of concrete grade, height of column and number of wraps on axial strength is studied using finite element based software ABAQUS. The results of numerical simulation are compared with experimental study and design guidelines specified by ACI 440.2R-08 and CNR-DT 200/2004. As per numerical analysis, an increase in axial capacity of 15.69% to 153.95% and 52.39% to 109.06% is observed for PCC and RCC columns respectively with different number of SSWM wraps.

In this paper, a rate-distortion optimization (RDO) model is proposed to find the joint bit allocation of geometry data and color data based on geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC) of Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The mechanism of the method is to construct the RD models for geometry and color data through the training process. Afterward, two rate-distortion (RD) models are integrated as well as the decision of the parameter λ to obtain the final RDO model. The experimental results show that the proposed method can decrease 20% of the geometry Bjøntegaard delta bit rate and increase 37% of the color Bjøntegaard delta bit rate compared to the MPEG G-PCC TMC13v12.0 software.

The transport of putrescine into a moderately salt tolerant cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was characterized by measuring the uptake of radioactively-labeled putrescine. Putrescine transport showed saturation kinetics with an apparent $K_m$ of $92{\pm}10\;{\mu}M$ and $V_{max}$ of $0.33{\pm}0.05\;nmol/min/mg$ protein. The transport of putrescine was pH-dependent with highest activity at pH 7.0. Strong inhibition of putrescine transport was caused by spermine and spermidine whereas only slight inhibition was observed by the addition of various amino acids. These results suggest that the transport system in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is highly specific for polyamines. Putrescine transport is energy-dependent as evidenced by the inhibition by various metabolic inhibitors and ionophores. Slow growth was observed in cells grown under salt stress. Addition of low concentration of putrescine could restore growth almost to the level observed in the absence of salt stress. Upshift of the external osmolality generated by either NaCl or sorbitol caused an increased putrescine transport with an optimum 2-fold increase at 20 mosmol/kg. The stimulation of putrescine transport mediated by osmotic upshift was abolished in chloramphenicol-treated cells, suggesting possible involvement of an inducible transport system.
