Cooperative networks provides the benefits of performance improvements and capacity increment when the source node transmits signal to the destination node using several relay nodes. In this paper, we consider the cooperative network where the transmission scheme between the source node and relay node use conventional binary signaling, whereas the transmission scheme between thee relay node and destination node adopt the differential space time coding signaling. We analyze the performance of the system depending on the modulation scheme, i.e., coherent and differential modulation, at the source-relay links. The performance depending on the relay location is also compared by considering modulation scheme and the number of relay node.

In this paper, we propose a new signaling method and circuits for interface between the host and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) controller in the LCD system. The proposed circuits are allowed to transmit two data signals through modified-LVDS circuits and can reduce the operating frequency to a half. Then, we can solve EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference) problem and the power consumption by using differential signaling method. We have compared and analyzed the proposed method and the conventional methods in the power consumption and data rate. In addition, the proposed methods reduce hardware complexity significantly.

In this paper, we investigae convergence behaviors of a differential method for 2-D motion parameter estimation. While the differential method is widely studied for motion compensated prediction in video coding, little attention hs been paid to its convergence properties. Based on the nonseparable exponential covariance image model, we derive the estimates of update terms for the 2- and 6-parameter motion models. And, the effect of noise, spatial correlation, choice of spatial gradient measures, andthe size of a region, are quantitatively anlyzed in relation to the convergence speed. Some empirical results are presented to verify the analysis.

In this paper, we introduce a novel method to extend the JPEG standard, which is the most widely used for lossy image compression, in order to improve compression ratio. To employ two of the most successful methodologies for the data compression: differential coding and quantization simultaneously, we propose a line-based approach. For each line in a block, we apply one-dimensional discrete cosine transformation to the increments instead of the pixel values. Those values are quantized and entropy-coded similarly to the JPEG standard. To further increase compression ratio, the proposed method is plugged into the JPEG standard to form a new compression method, in which the proposed method are applied to only selected JPEG blocks. In our experiment, we found that the proposed method outperform the JPEG standard when the qualities of the coded images are set to be high. We believe the proposed method can be simply plugged into the standard to improve its compression ratio for higher quality images.

To transmit information efficiently and securely in On-line transmission, data compression, secrecy and authentication are required. In this paper, we propose LZWH4 which creates two compression strings with applying Hnageul to LZW. design HDES1 by extending S-box (S1-S16) which satsfies SAC and correlation coefficient as a partial countermeasure of Differential Cryptanalysis and implement LZWHDES1 which concatenates efficiently these for digital signature in On-line transmission. Also HDES1 is more in U.D.(Unicity Distance) than DES and HDES. We show that the proposed LZWHDES1 reduces processing times than LZWHDES which LZW is directly concatnated to DES and LZWHDES which LZWH1 is directly concatenated to HDES. LZWHDES1 can be used to digital signature system as conventional key cryptosystem.

In this paper, we propose a new data coding method and its circuits for minimizing data transition in text image. The proposed circuits can solve the synchronization problem between input data and output data in the modified LVDS algorithm. And the proposed algorithm is allowed to transmit two data signals through additional serial data coding method in order to minimize the data transition in text image and can reduce the operating frequency to a half. Thus, we can solve EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interface) problem and reduce the power consumption. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm and circuits can provide an enhanced data transition minimization in text image and solve the synchronization problem between input data and output data.

Objective: Despite an increasing number of investigations into the pathophysiology of necrotic enteritis (NE) disease, etiology of NE-associated diseases, and gene expression profiling of NE-affected tissues, the microRNA (miRNA) profiles of NE-affected poultry have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to induce NE disease in the genetically disparate Fayoumi chicken lines, and to perform non-coding RNA sequencing in the intestinal mucosal layer. Methods: NE disease was induced in the Fayoumi chicken lines (M5.1 and M15.2), and non-coding RNA sequencing was performed in the intestinal mucosal layer of both NE-affected and uninfected chickens to examine the differential expression of miRNAs. Next, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) was performed to further examine four miRNAs that showed the highest fold differences. Finally, bioinformatics analyses were performed to examine the four miRNAs target genes involvement in the signaling pathways, and to examine their interaction. Results: According to non-coding RNA sequencing, total 50 upregulated miRNAs and 26 downregulated miRNAs were detected in the NE-induced M5.1 chickens. While 32 upregulated miRNAs and 11 downregulated miRNAs were detected in the NE-induced M15.2 chickens. Results of real-time qPCR analysis on the four miRNAs (gga-miR-9-5p, gga-miR-20b-5p, ggamiR-196-5p, and gga-let-7d) were mostly correlated with the results of RNAseq. Overall, ggamiR-20b-5p was significantly downregulated in the NE-induced M5.1 chickens and this was associated with the upregulation of its top-ranking target gene, mitogen-activated protein kinase, kinase 2. Further bioinformatics analyses revealed that 45 of the gene targets of gga-miR-20b-5p were involved in signal transduction and immune system-related pathways, and 35 of these targets were predicted to interact with each other. Conclusion: Our study is a novel report of miRNA expression in Fayoumi chickens, and could be very useful in understanding the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in a NE disease model.

In tis work, a three-stage pipelined A/D converter (ADC) was implemented to obtain 10-bit resolution at a conversion rate of 20 msamples/s for video applications. The ADC consists of three identical stages employing a mid-rise coding technique. The interstage errors such as offsets and clock feedthrough are digitally corrected in digitral logic by one overlapped bit between stages. The proposed ADC is optimized by adopting a unit-capacitor array architecture in the MDAC to improve the differential nonlinearity and the yield. Reduced power dissipation has been achieve dby using low-power latched comparators. The prototype was fabricated in a 0.8$\mu$m p-well CMOS technology. The ADC dissipates 160 mW at a 20 MHz clock rate with a 5 V single supply voltage and occupies a die area of 7 mm$^{2}$(2.7 mm $\times$ 2.6mm) including bonding pads and stand-alone internal bias circuit. The typical differential and integral nonlinarities of the prototype are less than $\pm$ 0.6 LSB and $\pm$ 1 LSB, respectively.

To understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate intramuscular fat deposition and its release, cDNA clones expressed in adipose tissues of Korean cattle were identified by differential screening from adipose tissue cDNA library. By partial nucleotide sequencing of 486 clones and a search for sequence similarity in NCBI nucleotide databases, 245 clones revealed unique clones. By a functional grouping of the clones, 14% of the clones were categorized to metabolism and enzyme-related group (stearoyl CoA desaturase, lactate dehydrogenase, fatty acid synthase, ATP citrate lyase, lipoprotein lipase, acetyl CoA synthetase, etc), and 6% to signal transduction/cell cycle-related group (C/EBP, cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, calmodulin, cyclin G1, cyclin H, etc), and 4% to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix components (vimentin, ankyrin 2, gelosin, syntenin, talin, prefoldin 5). The obtained 245 clones will be useful to study lipid metabolism and signal transduction pathway in adipose tissues and to study obesity in human. Some clones were subjected to full-sequencing containing open reading frame. The cDNA clone of bovine homolog of human prefoldin 5 gene had a total length of 959 nucleotides coding for 139 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine prefoldin 5 with those of human and mouse showed over 95% identity. The cDNA clone of bovine homolog of human ubiquitin-like/S30 ribosomal fusion protein gene had a total length of 484 nucleotides coding for 133 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine ubiquitin-like/S30 ribosomal fusion protein gene with those of human, rat and mouse showed over 97% identity. The cDNA clone of bovine homolog of human proteolipid protein 2 mRNA had a total length of 928 nucleotides coding for 152 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine proteolipid protein 2 with those of human and mouse showed 87.5% similarity. The cDNA clone of bovine homolog of rat thymosin beta 4 had a total length of 602 nucleotides coding for 44 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine thymosin beta 4 gene with those of human, mouse and rat showed 93.1% similarity. The cDNA clone of bovine homolog of human myotrophin mRNA had a total length of 790 nucleotides coding for 118 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of bovine myotrophin gene with those of human, mouse and rat showed 83.9% similarity. The functional role of these clones in adipose tissues needs to be established.

Purpose: To identify prostate cancer lncRNAs using a pipeline proposed in this study, which is applicable for the identification of lncRNAs that are differentially expressed in prostate cancer tissues but have a negligible potential to encode proteins. Materials and Methods: We used two publicly available RNA-Seq datasets from normal prostate tissue and prostate cancer. Putative lncRNAs were predicted using the biological technology, then specific lncRNAs of prostate cancer were found by differential expression analysis and co-expression network was constructed by the weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Results: A total of 1,080 lncRNA transcripts were obtained in the RNA-Seq datasets. Three genes (PCA3, C20orf166-AS1 and RP11-267A15.1) showed a significant differential expression in the prostate cancer tissues, and were thus identified as prostate cancer specific lncRNAs. Brown and black modules had significant negative and positive correlations with prostate cancer, respectively. Conclusions: The pipeline proposed in this study is useful for the prediction of prostate cancer specific lncRNAs. Three genes (PCA3, C20orf166-AS1, and RP11-267A15.1) were identified to have a significant differential expression in prostate cancer tissues. However, there have been no published studies to demonstrate the specificity of RP11-267A15.1 in prostate cancer tissues. Thus, the results of this study can provide a new theoretic insight into the identification of prostate cancer specific genes.
