종래의 컨버터-인버터 전력변환 시스템에서 do-link를 제거하여 보다 효과적인 인버터를 만들기 위하여 매트릭스 컨버터에 관하여 연구를 하고자 한다. 따라서 매트릭스 컨버터는 에너지를 저장하는 능동소자를 갖지 않는 장점이 있으나 전원이 스위치를 통하여 직접 부하에 연결되므로 전원의 리플과 노이즈가 그대로 부하에 전달되는 결점을 갖는다. 매트릭스 컨버터는 전원을 부하에 대하여 정현적으로 스위칭해야 되며, 한편 이러한 노이즈를 제거 및 보상하는 특성과 함께 역율문제도 함께 해결해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 종래의 제시된 방법에 비하여 제어어시간을 단축시킨 제어함수를 제시한다. 제시된 제어함수는 전원에 포함된 리플과 노이즈를 스위칭하는 과정에서 자동으로 보상하며 역율 1이되게 스위칭한다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험결과를 함께 제시한다.

Matrix factorization은 사용자의 아이템 선호도를 통해 아이템을 추천해주는 성공적인 기술 중 하나이다. 이 기법은 사용자-아이템의 선호도 행렬을 채우는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 목표를 달성하기 위해 사용자-아이템의 선호도 행렬을 사용자 행렬(user latent factor)와 아이템 행렬(item latent factor)로 분해하고, 각 행렬에 대해 추론하여 완성된 사용자-아이템의 선호도 행렬을 추론한다. 하지만 Matrix factorization은 아이템의 수가 많고, 아이템에 대한 사용자들의 선호도 데이터가 적을 때 성능이 제한된다. 또한 새로운 아이템이 추가되었을 때, 새로운 아이템에 대한 사용자들의 선호도 정보가 없기 때문에 새로운 아이템이 추천되지 않는다는 문제를 가진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 아이템에 대한 부가적인 정보인 아이템 간의 유사도 정보와 아이템의 시나리오 정보의 유사도를 모델링하여 기존의 전통적인 Matrix factorization에 추가하는 아이템 정보 기반 추천 시스템을 제안한다.

Marine radars are affected by sea and rain clutters, which can make target discrimination difficult. The clutter standard deviation and improvement factor are applied using multiple parameters-moving speed of radar, antenna speed, angle, etc. When a radar signal is processed, a Data Matrix Bank (DMB) filter can be applied to remove sea clutters. This filter allows detection of a target, and since it is not affected by changes in adjacent clutters resulting from a multi- target signal, sea state clutters can be removed. In this paper, we study the level for clutter removal and the method for target detection. In addition, we design a signal processing algorithm for marine radars, analyze the performance of the DMB filter algorithm, and provide a DMB filter algorithm design. We also perform a DMB filter algorithm analysis and simulation, and then apply this to the DMB filter and cell-average constant false alarm rate design to show comparative results.

This paper presents a control strategy to achieve the balanced sinusoidal output currents, as well as sinusoidal input currents for the matrix converter (MC) under unbalanced input voltages. By regulating the modulation index of the converter according to the instantaneous input voltages, the output currents are kept balanced and sinusoidal. In order to obtain sinusoidal input currents, the input power factor angle should be dynamically calculated based on the positive and negative sequence components of the input voltages. This paper proposes a simple method to construct the expected input power factor angle without the complicated sequence component extraction of input voltages. Simulation results are given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Allomatrix (Wright Medical Tech, Inc., USA), is a newly designed, injectable putty with a reliable demineralized bone matrix(DBM), derived from human bone. The compound contains 86% DBM and other bone growth factors such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-2, BMP-4, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\beta}1$. It has excellent os-teoinduction abilities. In addition, DBM is known to have osteoconduction capacity as a scaffold due to its collagen matrix. This product contains a powder, which is a mix of DBM and surgical grade calcium sulfate as a carrier. A practitioner can blend the powder with calcium sulfate solution, making a putty-type material which has the advantages of ease of handling, better fixation, and no need for a membrane, because it can function as membrane itself. This study reports the clinical and radiographic results of various guided bone regeneration cases using Allomatrix, demonstrating its strong potential as a graft material.

교원질을 비롯한 세포외기질의 생합성을 통해 피부장력과 탄력 등 피부 특성을 제공하는 진피섬유모세포는 피부노화와 함께 활성이 감소되어 주름 형성의 이유가 된다. 따라서 젊고 건강한 피부를 유지하기 위해서는 진피섬유 모세포의 활성화가 큰 의미를 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 대복피 에탄올추출물이 진피섬유모세포의 세포외기질 합성에 미치는 영향을 ELISA, Western blot analysis 및 RT-PCR 등의 in vitro 평가법으로 측정하였다. ELISA와 western blot analysis에서 대복피추출물은 제1형 교원질, fibronectin, transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$ (TGF-${\beta}1$)의 생성을 촉진시켰고, RT-PCR에서는 COL1A1, TGF-${\beta}1$, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), insulin growth factor (IGF)-1의 유전자 발현을 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과로부터 대복피추출물은 진피섬유모세포에서 세포외기질의 생성을 촉진시키는 천연소재인 것으로 판단되었다.

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular method for multivariate analysis of nonnegative data, which is to decompose a data matrix into a product of two factor matrices with all entries restricted to be nonnegative. NMF was shown to be useful in a task of clustering (especially document clustering), but in some cases NMF produces the results inappropriate to the clustering problems. In this paper, we present an algorithm for orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization, where an orthogonality constraint is imposed on the nonnegative decomposition of a term-document matrix. The result of orthogonal NMF can be clearly interpreted for the clustering problems, and also the performance of clustering is usually better than that of the NMF. We develop multiplicative updates directly from true gradient on Stiefel manifold, whereas existing algorithms consider additive orthogonality constraints. Experiments on several different document data sets show our orthogonal NMF algorithms perform better in a task of clustering, compared to the standard NMF and an existing orthogonal NMF.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a novel fibrotic mediator, which is considered to mediate fibrosis through extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in diabetic cardiovascular complications. Statins have significant immunomodulatory effects and reduce vascular injury. We therefore examined whether fluvastatin has anti-fibrotic effects in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and elucidated its putative transduction signals. We show that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) stimulated CTGF mRNA and protein expression in a time-dependent manner. AGE-induced CTGF expression was mediated via ERK1/2, JNK, and Egr-1 pathways, but not p38; consequently, cell proliferation and migration and ECM accumulation were regulated by CTGF signaling pathway. AGE-stimulated VSMC proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation were blocked by fluvastatin. However, the inhibitory effect of fluvastatin was restored by administration of CTGF recombinant protein. AGE-induced VSMC proliferation was dependent on cell cycle arrest, thereby increasing G1/G0 phase. Fluvastatin repressed cell cycle regulatory genes cyclin D1 and Cdk4 and augmented cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p27 and p21 in AGE-induced VSMCs. Taken together, fluvastatin suppressed AGE-induced VSMC proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation by targeting CTGF signaling mechanism. These findings might be evidence for CTGF as a potential therapeutic target in diabetic vasculature complication.

A hierarchical iterative algorithm for the canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) of tensors is proposed by improving the traditional conjugate gradient least squares (CGLS) method. Methods based on algebraic operations are investigated with the objective of estimating the direction of arrival (DoA) and polarization parameters of signals impinging on an array with electromagnetic (EM) vector-sensors. The proposed algorithm adopts a hierarchical iterative strategy, which enables the algorithm to obtain a fast recovery for the highly collinear factor matrix. Moreover, considering the same accuracy threshold, the proposed algorithm can achieve faster convergence compared with the alternating least squares (ALS) algorithm wherein the highly collinear factor matrix is absent. The results reveal that the proposed algorithm can achieve better performance under the condition of fewer snapshots, compared with the ALS-based algorithm and the algorithm based on generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD). Furthermore, with regard to an array with a small number of sensors, the observed advantage in estimating the DoA and polarization parameters of the signal is notable.

Sensitivity factors of elements by a glow discharge mass spectrometry (GD-MS) were intensively investigated and compared with a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In case of copper matrix, the sensitivity factor by GD-MS generally decreases with the increase of the mass number of element. The details are a little different between each data measured by Faraday and multiplier detectors. The factor by a multiplier detector drastically decreases with the mass increase in the region of low mass as in Faraday detector’s case, but slowly in the high mass region. On the contrast, the sensitivity factor of solution standard by a conventional ICP-MS slowly increases with the increase of elemental mass number even though there are some exceptions such as gold and also the sensitivity factor by a laser ablation ICP MS generally increases with mass number of element in the specimen of glass type. In case of steel matrix, any definite trends could not be shown in the relationship between the GD-MS’s sensitivity factor and elemental mass.
