Indoor localization is becoming one of the most important technologies for smart mobile applications with different requirements from conventional outdoor location estimation algorithms. Fingerprinting location estimation techniques based on neural networks have gained increasing attention from academia due to their good generalization properties. In this paper, we propose a novel location estimation algorithm based on an ensemble of multiple neural networks. The neural network ensemble has drawn much attention in various areas where one neural network fails to resolve and classify the given data due to its' inaccuracy, incompleteness, and ambiguity. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to enhance the location estimation accuracy in indoor wireless environments based on a neural network ensemble using fingerprinting training data. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed location estimation method, we conduct the numerical experiments using the TGn channel model that was developed by the 802.11n task group for evaluating high capacity WLAN technologies in indoor environments with multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas. The numerical results show that the proposed method based on the NNE technique outperforms the conventional methods and achieves very accurate estimation results even in environments with a low number of APs.

최근 다양한 스마트 기기가 보급화 됨에 따라 스마트 기기를 이용한 실내 위치추적 기술 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 실내 위치추적 기술은 GPS 센서 없이 실내의 위치를 추적해야 한다는 제약 사항이 있다. 본 논문에서는 별도의 인프라 구축이 필요 없고 오차범위가 작은 실내위치추적 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 기존 실내 측위를 위한 기법 중 걸음검출, Wi-Fi 핑거프린팅 기법들의 장단점이 서로 상호보완적 이라는 점에서 착안하였다. 제안하는 기법은 걸음검출을 통해 사용자의 변위를 측정하며 이를 보정하기 위해 Wi-Fi 핑거프린팅 기법을 혼합 형태로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법의 유효성을 입증하고 실용화 가능성을 보인다.

To determine whether pattern recognition based on metabolite fingerprinting for whole cell extracts of higher plants is applied to discriminate plants genetically, leaf samples of eight cultivars of Catharanthus roseus were subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). FT-IR fingerprint region data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). Major peaks as biomarkers were identified as the most significant contributors to distinguish samples by using genetic programming. A hierarchical dendrogram based on the results from PCA separated the eight cultivars into two major groups in the same manner as the dendrograms based on genetic fingerprinting methods such as RAPD and AFLP. A slight difference between the dendrograms was found only in branching pattern within each subgroup. Therefore, we conclude that the hierarchical dendrogram based on PCA of the FT-IR data represents the most probable chemotaxonomical relationship between cultivars, which is in general agreement with the genetic relationship determined by conventional DNA fingerprinting methods.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 (Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 or DT104) has been emerging as a common pathogen for human in Korea since 1997. In order to compare the genomic relationship and to search for the dominant strains in Korea, we conducted pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and IS200 fingerprinting of 25 epidemiological unrelated isolates from human and animals from Korea and cattle from America. Two Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 isolates from human in Korea and all 8 isolates from American cattle had indistinguishable patterns from the PFGE and IS200 fingerprinting but multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium isolates, including DT104, from Korean animals had diverse genetic patterns. The data suggest that a dominant DT104 strain might have circulated between Korean and American cattle and that it had a high level of clonality.

Various environmental ecosystems are valuable sources for microbial ecology studies, and their analyses using recently developed molecular ecological approaches have drawn significant attention within the scientific community. Changes in the microbial community structures due to various anthropogenic activities can be evaluated by various culture-independent methods e.g. ARISA, DGGE, SSCP, T-RFLP, clone library, pyrosequencing, etc. Direct amplification of total community DNA and amplification of most conserved region (16S rRNA) are common initial steps, followed by either fingerprinting or sequencing analysis. Fingerprinting methods are relatively quicker than sequencing analysis in evaluating the changes in the microbial community. Being an efficient, sensitive and time- and cost effective method, T-RFLP is regularly used by many researchers to access the microbial diversity. Among various fingerprinting methods T-RFLP became an important tool in studying the microbial community structure because of its sensitivity and reproducibility. In this present review, we will discuss the important developments in T-RFLP methodology to distinguish the total microbial diversity and community composition in the various ecosystems.

With the fast-developing of mobile terminals, positioning techniques based on fingerprinting method draws attention from many researchers even world famous companies. To conquer some shortcomings of the existing fingerprinting systems and further improve its performance, we propose a radio map building and updating technique, which is able to customize the spatial and temporal dependency of radio maps. The method includes indoor propagation and penetration modeling and the analysis of human traffic. Based on the combination of Ray-Tracing Algorithm, Finite-Different Time-Domain and Rough Set Theory, the approach of indoor propagation modeling accurately represents the spatial dependency of the radio map. In terms of temporal dependency, we specifically study the factor of moving people in the interest area. With measurement and statistics, the factor of human traffic is introduced as the temporal updating component. We improve our existing indoor positioning system with the proposed building and updating method, and compare the localization accuracy. The results show that the enhanced system can conquer the influence caused by moving people, and maintain the confidence probability stable during week, which enhance the actual availability and robustness of fingerprinting-based indoor positioning system.

In order to investigate biodiversity and establish identification system for Phytophthora spp. in Korea, a variety of band pattern was produced by using the URP(universal rice primer). The fingerprint patterns of Phytophthora spp. showed many common and variable fragments according to their isolates in distinct genotypes. In particular, P. drechsleri was classified into four distinct types(I to IV). P. drechsleri(KACC 40498 and KACC 40499) and P. cryptogea(KACC 40413) appeared to have almost equal bands despite their being different species. Ninety isolates of Phytophthora spp. were clustered into 13 groups based on UPGMA(unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means) analysis. These DNA fingerprinting data would be helpful for inter- and intra-species identification of Phytophthora species.

Forty Clostridium perfringens isolates were obtained from twelve animal products, following the examination of eighty six beef, pork, broiler chicken and salami meat products, and eleven milk powder products. There were 21 isolates from salami stored at $25^{\circ}C$, 3 isolates from pork, 4 isolates from beef, 9 isolates from broiler chicken, and 3 isolates from milk powder. Only the cpa gene encoding a toxin among the 5 toxin genes tested (cpa, cpb, etx, iap, and cpe) was detected in all forty isolates, suggesting contamination with C. perfringens type A. DNA fingerprinting analysis using PCR of the tRNA intergenic spacer (tDNA-PCR) and the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS-PCR), and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were attempted to differentiate the isolates. RAPD analysis was the most discriminating method among the three PCR analyses. Isolates from the same products tended to show similar RAPD patterns. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that some isolates from broiler chickens had the same antibiogram with multiple resistance to streptomycin, colistin, and ciprofloxacin. Antibiograms were similar between isolates from the same livestock products, but differed considerably between the products.

Background: Panax notoginseng is a highly valued medicine and functional food, whose quality is considered to be influenced by the size, botanical parts, and growth environments. Methods: In this study, a HPLC method integrating fingerprinting and determination of multiconstituents by single reference standard was established and adopted to investigate the chemical profiles and active constituent contents of 215 notoginseng samples with different sizes, from different botanical parts and geographical regions. Results: Chemical differences among main root, branch root, and rotten root were not distinct, while rhizome and fibrous root could be discriminated from other parts. The notoginseng samples from Wenshan Autonomous Prefecture and cities nearby were similar, whereas samples from cities far away were not. The contents of major active constituents in main root did not correlate with the market price. Conclusion: This study provided comprehensive chemical evidence for the rational usage of different parts, sizes, and growth regions of notoginseng in practice.

본 논문에서는 디지털 컨텐츠의 전자상거래에서 사용될 수 있는 재분배자의 개선된 자동 식별기능을 갖는 효율적 인 익명성을 제공하는 핑거프린팅 방식을 제안한다. Domingo가 Electronic Letters에서 제안한 방식은 등록 프로토콜의 통신 회수와 식별프로토콜에서 지수 연산 회수가 너무 많아 전자상거래에서 비효율적이다. 제안하는 방식은 등록 프로토콜에서 통신 회수를 2-pass로 줄였고, 식별 프로토콜에서는 평균적으로 공개키 디렉토리 상에 있는 공개키 수에 반정도의 지수 연산의 회수가 필요했던 것을 단지 1번의 지수 연산으로 줄였다. 따라서, 디지털 컨텐츠의 전자상거래 가 일상 생활에서 쓰이게 됨에 따라 제안하는 방식의 이용 가치는 증대될 것이다.
