  • We propose a new method for image coding that it is based on highly related property between a spatial image and wavelet transform image. The characteristics have an important role in the design of proposed algorithm. This algorithm for image coding is to obtain high compression rate at low bit rate. The other side, the high activity regions are related to significant coefficients which give much influence to image reconstruction, because they mean the important factor to represent the appearance of images such as edge or boundary. For some images with low activity, we can obtain the reconstructed image with near to 30 dB at 150: 1 compression ratio.

  • 본 논문에서는 WPD (Wavelet Packet Decomposition) 계수에 Teager 에너지를 적용한 특징 계수를 임계값 알고리듬에 적용하여 잡음에 강인한 VAD 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 임계값은 비음성 구간의 평균과 표준편차를 추산하여 설정하였다. TIMIT 음성과 NOISEX 잡음 데이터베이스를 사용한 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리듬이 기존의 대표적인 비교 대상 알고리듬보다 우수함을 보였다. 정확도는 SNR 10 dB부터 -10 dB까지 ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) 곡선을 사용하여 비교하였다.

  • The ionic equilibira in mixed solutions of cuprous and cupric chloride were analyzed by considering chemical equilibria, mass and charge balance equations. The activity coefficients of solutes were calculated by using Bromley equation. Required thermodynamic constants and interaction parameters were evaluated from the data reported in the literature. The effect of NaCl and CuCl concentrations on the pH and potential of the mixed solutions was explained in terms of the variation in the concentration of solutes and in the activity of hydrogen ion. The calculated pH values of the mixed solutions agreed well with the measured values. However, the calculated values for the potential of the mixed solutions were lower than the measured values, indicating the necessity of considering the complex formation between cuprous and chloride ion, such as $Cu^2Cl{_4}^{2-}$ and $Cu_3Cl{_6}^{3-}$.

  • The remote sensing technique of measuring the magnetic field was applied first to sunspots by Hale (1908). Later Babcock (1961) showed that the solar surface magnetic field on a global scale is a dipole in first-order approximation and that this dipole field reverses once every solar cycle. The Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) supplies the spherical harmonics coefficients of the solar corona magnetic field of each Carrington Rotation, calculated based on the remotely-sensed photospheric magnetic field of the solar surface. To infer the internal current system producing the global solar coronal magnetic field structure and evolution of the Sun, we calculate the multipole components of the solar magnetic field using the WSO data from 1976 to 2019. The prominent cycle components over the last 4 solar activity cycles are axis-symmetric fields of the dipole and octupole. This implies that the current inversion driving the solar magnetic field reversal originates from the equatorial region and spreads to the whole globe. Thus, a more accurate solar dynamo model must include an explanation of the origin and evolution of such solar internal current dynamics.

  • For three cultivars of chilling-sensitive cucumber plants, chilling sensitivity was evaluated in terms of photosynthetic activity using Chl fluorescence techniques. Low-temperature treatment caused a decrease in photosynthetic activities of cucumber leaves, measured as CO$_2$ exchange, as well as the decrease in the stomatal conductance. FR of the three cultivars decreased after chilling for 24 h in light and the extent of decline of F$_R$ was the greatest in 'Chosaeng' cultivar. When these plants were recovered from light-chilling, 'Chosaeng' and 'Samchuk' cultivars did not fully restore the original value of F$_R$ after 24 h of recovery, in contrast to 'Ilmi' cultivar which showed a rather efficient recovery. The results of FR study showed that 'Chosaeng' was most susceptible, whereas Ilmi was most resistant, to chilling among the three cultivars of cucumber plants. When quenching coefficients for chlorophyll fluorescence was analyzed after chilling the cucumber plants for 24 h in light, 'Chosaeng' elicited more rapid declines in the coefficients for photochemical quenching (qQ), non-photochemical quenching (qNP) and energy-dependent quenching (qE) than 'Ilmi' and 'Samchuk'. The implications of these observations are discussed in relation to the growth habits of the respective cultivars in the field. The results showed that measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence was an effective means of screening chilling tolerance of cucumber plants. Furthermore, the study on the chlorophyll fluorescence induction and fluorescence quenching charactersitics showed that low temperature could accelerate inhibition of photosynthesis in chilling-sensitive plants, by limiting Calvin cycle activity and disrupting, in part, the energy dissipation mechanims of the photosystem II.

  • To enhance the activity of ibuprofen, amides of ibuprofen, 1-piperazinyl-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionamide(Ibu-P.A.) and 1-(4-methylpiperazinyl)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionamide (Ibu-M.P.), were synthesized and the pharmaceutical properties and the pharmacological activities of the amides were studied. The lipid:water partition coefficients and pKa values were examined in vitro, and the antiinflammatory effect, analgesic effects, acute toxicity, and intestinal absorption were studied for the amides and compared with ibuprofen in vivo. The results are summarized as belows; 1) The lipid:water partition coefficients of Ibu-M.P. were higher than those of ibuprofen. 2) The calculated pKa values of ibuprofen and Ibu-M.P. were 5.49 and 8.66, respectively. 3) The antiinflammatory effects of ibuprofen, Ibu-P.A., and Ibu-M.P. were same intensity, but the duration of the effects of Ibu-P.A. and Ibu-M.P. were longer than that of ibuprofen. 4) The analgesic effect of Ibu-M.P. was more potent than those of ibuprofen and Ibu-P.A. in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. 5) The $LD_{50}$ was 495 mg/kg for ibuprofen, 187 mg/kg for Ibu-M.P., and over 1250 mg/kg for Ibu-P.A.. 6) The absorption rate constants(k) and half-life($t_{1/2}$) were 0.74($hr^{-1}$) and 0.94(hr) for ibuprofen, and 0.72 ($hr^{-1}$) and 0.96 (hr) respectively for Ibu-M.P..

  • 영상 잡음의 제거를 위해서는 영상에 대한 통계적 모델을 설정하고, 잡음이 섞인 영상에서 원 영상의 분산을 정확하게 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 분산을 추정하기 위해서는 일반적으로 유한한 크기의 주변 영역 정보를 이용한다. 주변 영역의 크기는 평탄 영역 및 에지 영역과 같이 영상의 영역에 따라 달라진다. 즉, 에지 영역인 경우는 주변 영역의 크기를 작게 설정할수록 추정 분산이 보다 정확하며, 평탄 영역의 경우는 주변 영역의 크기가 크면 분산의 추정이 정확해 진다. 이와 같이 추정된 원 영상의 분산을 이용하여 잡음 영상에 Wiener 필터를 적용함으로써 영상의 잡음을 제거하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 잡음을 제거하기 위해 웨이블릿 영역의 부모-자식 관계를 이용하여 중요도를 작성하고, 이를 이용하여 분산을 구하기 위한 이웃 영역의 범위를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 웨이블릿 계수의 중요한 특성을 획득할 수 있는 중요도를 작성하기 위해 간단한 분류 방법을 사용한다. 중요한 웨이블릿 계수의 수에 근거하여 웨이블릿 계수의 범위를 결정한 뒤 ML 방법을 이용하여 원 신호의 분산을 추정한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안 방법이 기존의 방법보다 나은 결과를 보여줌을 알 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess the energy expenditure and investigate the relationship between related variables of 57 dieticians in Youngdong-area. The average daily number of steps was found to be 9358.0$\pm$2714.3 steps/day on weekdays and 7862.9$\pm$2504.9 steps/day during weekends. Hourly step rates on weekdays and weekends came to 570.6$\pm$249.8 steps/hr and 564.0$\pm$224.8 steps/hr, respectively. Activity coefficient of subjects was higher on weekdays (1.56) than weekends (1.51, p<0.05). Resting energy expenditure estimated by the Harris-Benedict formula, WHO/NAO/FAO formula as well as formulas based on body surface area and DRIs (Dietary Reference Intake for Koreans) were calculated to be 1333.7$\pm$89.5kcal/day, 1351.0$\pm$123.3kcal/day, 1388.5$\pm$100.3kcal/day and 1295.9$\pm$90.8kcal/day, respectively. Using these resting energy expenditures and the activity coefficients, daily energy expenditures were calculated to be from 2039.7kcal/day to 2183.5kcal/day on weekdays and from 2016.1kcal/day to 2159.2kcal/day on weekends. Meanwhile energy intakes of subjects on weekdays and weekends were 1594.7$\pm$698.3kcal and 2152.9$\pm$768.0kcal, respectively. The activity coefficient (1.49) of dieticians who managed less than 500 meals per day was significantly lower than that of dieticians who served more than 500 meals per day. Dieticians of schools located in rural areas had higher activity coefficient (1.59) than those of schools located in urban or island settings. These results suggest that work analysis and development of management strategies are necessary to improve dieticians' productivity.

  • 본 논문에서는 Bi-Level HMM을 이용한 음성구간 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 음성 구간 검출법은 짧은 상태변화 오류(Burst Clipping)를 제거하기 위하여 별도의 후처리 과정을 거치든가, 규칙 기반 지연 프레임을 설정해야만 한다. 이러한 문제에 대처하기 위하여 기존의 HMM 모델에 상태 계층을 추가한 Bi-Level HMM을 이용하여 음성구간 판정을 위해 음성상태의 사후 확률비를 이용하였다. 사람의 청각특성을 고려한 MFCC를 특징치로 하여, 다양한 SNR의 음성 데이터에 대한 평가지표를 활용한 실험을 수행하여 기존의 음성상태 분류법보다 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
