In this paper, newly developed algorithm for enhancing images corrupted by white gaussian noise is proposed. In the method proposed here, image is subdivided into a number of subblocks, and each block is separated into cimponents corresponding to signal and noise subspaces, respectively through the signal subspace method. A clean signal is then estimated form the signal subspace by the adaptive wiener filtering. The decomposition of noisy signal into noise and signal subspaces in is implemented by eigendecomposition of covariance matrix for noisy image, and by performing blockwise KLT (karhunen loeve transformation) using eigenvector. To reduce the perceptual noise level and distortion, wiener filtering is implementd by adaptively adjusting noise level according to activity characteristics of given block. Simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed method. In particular, edge bluring effects are reduced compared to the previous methods.

Radiation exposure may cause tissue damage by ionized or excited atoms. The molecules are transformed from water or they directly interact with cells. Antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C are used to reduce the interference of radiation. Especially, vitamin E inhibits the formation and accumulation of lipid and oxidation and the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. After irradiation of 3 Gy to the testis, the entire shape of testis was partly depressed and an irregular vacuole was observed to the edge. The 3 Gy group after treatment with vitamin E showed the low destruction of spermatogonia and partial tissue damage as compared to the 3 Gy group. Vitamin E inhibited the production of vacuoles from the cell death and generated the block to prevent the condensation of the seminiferous tubules.

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the relationship between trends in innovative EU industries and market distribution in smaller emerging markets under an open economy. Research design, data, and methodology - Although innovation was well-distributed, due to socio-economic factors following European integration, CEE had not achieved sustainable economic growth. However, this paper analyzes the differences among changes in CEE innovation for smaller emerging markets dominated since 2000. Market distribution has facilitated new markets for innovative industries, according to EU surveys and economic indicators. Results - The dominance of the local industrial market distribution has deterred innovation investment the survey shows that innovation investment has been shrinking, despite the EU's open innovation policy for CEE employment and R&D. For the CEE case, there were expectation gaps and uncertainty about whether to use the new distribution dominance or TNCs' innovation in smaller emerging countries without local industrial innovation. Conclusions - Innovation generates market growth and distribution power however, small growth requires stimulation, and creativity and innovative edge need further focus in local public and corporate strategy.

Metal oxide based materials have been widely used to fields of electrochemical applications. Recently, various type of defects from microstructures of metal oxides and their nanocomposites have been raised as the important material design factors for realizing highly improved electrochemical properties. Previous experimental and theoretical works have suggested that controlling the reaction activity and kinetics of the key electrochemical reactions by activated interfaces originating from the defect sites can play an important role in achieving the robust energy storage and conversion. Therefore, this paper focuses on the role of defect-controlled metal oxide materials such as doping, edge-sites, grain boundaries and nano-sized pores for the high performances in energy storage devices and electrocatalysts. The research approaches demonstrated here could offer a possible route to obtain noble ideas for designing the metal oxide materials for the energy storage and conversion applications.

본 논문에서는 2D-DCT 변환된 동영상 프레임 사이의 오차 블록들의 활성 레벨(atcivity level)과 에지의 특성을 분류하여 동영상의 적응적인 양자화를 제안한다. 각 블록에서는 활성 레벨이 각기 다르고, 같은 활성 레벨이라 할지라도 에지의 특성도 각기 다르게 나타난다. 적응적인 양자화를 위해서, 2D-DCT 변환된 영상 오차의 각 블록의 활성레벨 뿐만 아니라 AC 계수들의 분포에 따른 에지 특성을 분류하면, 블록의 활성 레벨만을 일률적으로 적용한 Sorting 방법의 경우보다 향상된 영상을 복원할 수 있다. 블록의 활성 레벨은 AC energy에 의해서 측정하고, 에지 특성은 AC 계수들의 분포에 의해 결정하게 된다.

Consumer needs becomes various in a mature mobile telecommunication market, while service differentiation is hard to achieve. The competition among telecommunication service providers is getting fierce in order to maintain and obtain customers. Moreover, HSDPA caused the intense marketing activity for the move to the next generation customers. Under these circumstances, brand equity can be a key to a long-term competitive edge for mobile phone service providers. In this study, we identified the factors influencing mobile telecommunication brand equity, and its influence on the HSDPA service subscription behavior.

Attempts were made to investigate the antagonistic activity of soil borne microorganisms Pseudomonas spp. and Trichoderma spp. against to the pathogens of turf diseases Rhizoctionia solani spp. and Pythiom spp. in vitro by a dual culture bioassay. Inhibition zone between the edge of the my-celium and the margin of each antagonistic bacteria, Pocudontonas, on potato dextrose agar was measured 3 days after incubation at 28˚C. Psudomonas spp. showed relatively high inhibition of mycelium growth of R. solani AG-i and Pythium spp. which cause brown patch and pythium blight, respectively. Antagonistic fungi Trichodenma spp. also showed effective inhibition against mycelium growth of both pathogens, more proper methods of measuring the inhibition effects were required because of fast growth of Trichodenna hypae. Brown patch and pythium blight both, re-quire most higher rate of fungicide use to control in golf curses in Korea. Application of antagon-istic microorganisms are useful as biological resources an approach to sole environmental contamination.

Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission / reception is being studied in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) for future evolution of the $3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE. Support of soft handover is essential for improving the performance of cell edge users. CoMP provides a natural framework for enabling soft handover in the LTE system. This paper evaluates the soft handover gain in LTE-A downlink. Mathematical analysis of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) gain and the handover margins for soft handover and hard handover are derived. CoMP system model is developed and an inter-cell and intra-cell interference model is derived, taking into account the pathloss, shadowing, cell loading, and traffic activity. Reference signal received power (RSRP) is used to define the triggers and the measurements for soft handover. Our results indicate that parameter choices such as handover margin and the CoMP set size impact CoMP performance gain.

Purpose: This study was aimed to determine the effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulation on muscle activities of the scapular upward rotators and middle deltoid, active range of motion (AROM), shoulder pain, and rounded shoulder posture in young adults with rounded shoulder. Methods: The subjects were 30 young adults (14 males, 16 females) with rounded shoulder. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental (manipulation) and control (placebo) groups of fifteen subjects respectively. The manipulation group received the manipulation (high velocity, low amplitude), which was performed by a physical therapist with the subject in the supine position and with the arms crossed over the chest and hands passed over the shoulders. For the sham group, the same procedure was performed, with the exception that the high-velocity thrust was not applied. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention. Muscle activity of upper and lower trapezius, serratus anterior, middle deltoid was measured using surface electromyography. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for shoulder pain. Goniometry was used for shoulder abduction active range of motion (AROM). Straight edge was used for supine rounded shoulder posture (RSP) distance. Results: The muscle activity of the upper trapezius, lower trapezius and middle deltoid muscle increased significantly after the intervention (p<.05). However, no significant difference was observed in serratus anterior muscle (p>.05). The VAS was significantly decreased and AROM significantly increased after the intervention (p<.05). The distance of RSP were not significant (p>.05). The control group showed no differences before and after the intervention (p>.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that thoracic spine thrust manipulation can be an effective component of treatment plan to improve pain and function.
