A method of width adaptation in the radial basis function network (RBFN) using stochastic gradient (SG) algorithm is introduced. Using Taylor's expansion of error signal and differentiating the error with respect to the step-size, the optimal time-varying step-size of the width in RBFN is derived. The proposed approach to adjusting widths in RBFN achieves superior learning speed and the steady-state mean square error (MSE) performance in nonlinear channel environment. The proposed method has shown enhanced steady-state MSE performance by more than 3 dB in both nonlinear channel environments. The results confirm that controlling over step-size of the width in RBFN by the proposed algorithm can be an effective approach to enhancement of convergence speed and the steady-state value of MSE.

본 논문에서는 대략 250 km 이상 떨어져 있는 한국과 일본의 대기 채널 환경에 대한 분석을 하였으며, 대기 굴절도 변화량에 따르는 한일간의 채널 환경에 Radio Duct 현상이 발생하고 있으며, 그로 인한 전파 월경으로 채널 간섭이 발생하고 있음을 확인하였다. 일본 NHK에서 측정한 한국채널 수신전계강도 실험결과를 바탕으로 인접국간 전파예측모델 P 1546의 유효한 굴절도 변화량 보정치로 1% 시간율에서 -91.80 [N-units/km], 10% 시간율에서 -43.92 [N-units/km], 50% 시간율에서 -586.19 [N-units/km]의 보정된 굴절도 변화량을 제시하였으며, 제시된 굴절도 변화량은 한일간의 대기 채널 환경을 반영하는 실질적인 전파모델 예측수행에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image can link with the microscopic world through reflecting interaction between electrons and materials. The SEM images are easily subject to blurring distortions during the imaging process. Inspired by the fact that dark channel prior captures the changes to blurred SEM images caused by the blur process, we propose a method to evaluate the SEM images sharpness based on the dark channel prior. A SEM image database is first established with mean opinion score collected as ground truth. For the quality assessment of the SEM image, the dark channel map is generated. Since blurring is typically characterized by the spread of edge, edge of dark channel map is extracted. Then noise is removed by an edge-preserving filter. Finally, the maximum gradient and the average gradient of image are combined to generate the final sharpness score. The experimental results on the SEM blurred image database show that the proposed algorithm outperforms both the existing state-of-the-art image sharpness metrics and the general-purpose no-reference quality metrics.

This paper presents a paper-based concentration gradient chip to analyze colorimetric glucose assay. The paper-based concentration gradient chip was fabricated through a wax patterning technique that can design the fluidic channel by selectively printing hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas. Afterwards, glucose and dilution solutions were loaded into the inlet of a concentration gradient chip and each solution was then mixed sequentially at mixing channel. Finally, concentration gradient was formed at each outlet of the chip. To measure the glucose concentration of the solution in outlets, we conducted colorimetric glucose assay with fixed concentration of glucose solution (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mM) and obtained normalized intensity. Subsequently, glucose concentrations of the outlets were calculated by substituting the normalized intensity to linear regression function based on the normalized intensity of fixed glucose concentration. Finally, the concentration gradient of glucose was formed on the chip with the result of colorimetric assay. The concentration gradient paper chip has the potential to accurately analyze unknown glucose concentration.

In ocean environment, the sound speed gradient of seawater has an important influence on far field sound propagation. The FEM/BEM is used to decouple the vibroacoustic radiation of the spherical shell, and the Green function of the virtual source chain is adopted for decoupling. For far field radiated Sound Pressure Level (SPL), the Beam Displacement Ray normal Mode (BDRM) is employed. The vibration and near-/far-field radiated SPL of spherical shell is analyzed in shallow sea uniform layer, negative/positive gradient, negative thermocline environment, and deep-sea sound channel. Results show that the vibroacoustic radiation of spherical shell acted at 300Hz can be analogous to dipole. When the radiated field of the spherical shell is dominated by large-grazing-angle waves, it can be analogous to vertically distributed dipole, and the far field radiated SPL is lower; while similar to horizontally distributed dipole if dominated by small-grazing-angle waves, and the far field SPL is high.

Temperature gradient focusing (TGF) of analytes via Joule heating is achieved when electric field is applied along a microchannel of varying width. The effect of varying width of the microchannel for the focusing performance of the device was numerically studied. The governing equations were implemented into a quasi-1D numerical model along a microchannel. The validity of the numerical model was verified by a comparison between numerical and experimental results. The distributions of temperature, velocity, and concentration along a microchannel were predicted by the numerical results. The narrower middle width and wider outside width of the channel having the fixed length contribute to improve the focusing performance of the device. However, too narrow middle width of the channel generates a higher temperature which can cause the problems including sample denaturation and buffer solution boiling. Therefore, the channel geometry should be optimized to prevent these problems. The optimal widths of the microchannel for the improvement on TGF were proposed and this model can be easily applied to lab-on-a-chip (LOC) applications where focusing is required based on its simple design.

A new in vivo high resolution imaging method which is performed with a newly developed three channel surface gradient coil (SGC) is described. The surface gradient coil can produce more than an order of magnitude stronger gradient fields with good linearity within a limited imaging region. To increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), we have developed an RF coil integrated surface gradient coil set. In this paper, the geometrical structures and characteristics of the proposed surface gradient coil are discussed and experimentally obtained high resolution images ($50\;{\mu}m$ to $100\;{\mu}m$) of a water filled phantom and a human volunteer's knee using the new surface RF coil integrated SGC set are presented for the demonstration of the in vivo high resolution imaging capability of the new imaging method.
