The ultrastructural changes of the cardiac ganglion and granule-containing cells in the heart of vacor-induced diabetic Mongolian gerbils were studied by electron microscopy. After one month of vacor-induced diabetes the ganglion cells showed increase in numbers of dense bodies and mitochondria compared with the normal cardiac ganglion. Most of the satellite cells were filled with numerous phagosomes containing digested debris. Both electron-dense and lucent types of degenerating axon terminals were observed. The former was characterized by clusters of agranular vesicles and numerous mitochondria. The electron lucent type of degenerating axon terminal contained a few agranular vesicles and swollen mitochondria. Degenerating unmyelinated and myelinated axons contained large numbers of dense bodies, lamellar bodies, and mitochondria. Numerous macrophages containing phagosomes were reveled in the interstitial spaces. Some of the granule-containing cells in the heart showed a variety of degenerative changes and a decreased number of dense-cored vesicles. After three months of vacor-induced diabetes the unmyelinated and myelinated axons showed degenerative changes, whereas no structure changes could be demonstrated in intraatrial ganglion and granule containing cells. The satellite cells containing engulfed debris were observed in the cardiac ganglion cells. These results suggest that the degenerative changes occur in the cardiac ganglion cells of vacor-induced diabetic Mongolian gerbils as well as atrial granule-containing cells.

The paper first describes the atmospheric correction algorithm for the Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS) visible band data used at Earth Observation Center (EOC) of National Space Development Agenrr of japan (NASDA). It uses 10 candidate aerosol models including "Asian dust model" introduced in consideration of the unique feature of aerosols over the east Asian waters. Based on the observations at 670 and 865 nm bands where the reflectance of the water body can be discarded, the algorithm selects a pair of aerosol models that accounts best for the observed spectral reflectances to synthesize the aerosol reflectance in other bands. The paper also evaluates the performance of the algorithm by comparing the satellite estimates of water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll-a concentration with selected buoy- and ship-measured data. In comparison with the old CZCS-type atmospheric correction algorithm where the aerosol reflectance is assumed to be spectrally independent, the OCTS algorithm records factor 2-3 less error in estimating the normalized water-leaving radiances. In terms of chlorophyll-a concentration estimation, however, the accuracy stays very similar compared to that of the CZCS-type algorithm. This is considered to be due to the nature of in-water algorithm which relies on spectral ratio of water-leaving radiances.

A signal generation simulator is an economical and useful solution in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver design and testing. A software-defined radio approach is widely used both in receivers and simulators, and its flexible structure to adopt to new signals is ideally suited to the testing of a receiver and signal processing algorithm in the signal design phase of a new satellite-based navigation system before the deployment of satellites in space. The generation of highly accurate delayed sampled codes is essential for generating signals in the simulator, where its sampling rate should be chosen to satisfy constraints such as Nyquist criteria and integer and non-commensurate properties in order not to cause any distortion of original signals. A high sampling rate increases the accuracy of code delay, but decreases the computational efficiency as well, and vice versa. Therefore, the selected sampling rate should be as low as possible while maintaining a certain level of code delay accuracy. This paper presents the lower limits of the sampling rate for GNSS signal generation simulators. In the simulation, two distinct code generation methods depending on the sampling position are evaluated in terms of accuracy versus computational efficiency to show the lower limit of the sampling rate for several GNSS signals.

Today, services using Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology are provided in various fields, such as smartphone Location-Based Service (LBS) and autonomous driving. Generally, outdoor positioning techniques depend on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and the need for positioning techniques that guarantee positioning accuracy, availability, and continuity is emerging with advances in service. In particular, continuity is not guaranteed in urban canyons where it is challenging to secure visible satellites with standalone GNSS, and even if more than four satellites are visible, the positioning accuracy and stability are reduced due to multipath channels. Research using Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites is already underway to overcome these limitations. In this study, we conducted a trend analysis of LEO-PNT research, an LEO satellite-based navigation and augmentation system. Through comparison with GNSS, the differentiation of LEO-PNT was confirmed, and the system design and receiver processing were analyzed according to LEO-PNT classification. Lastly, the current status of LEO-PNT development by country and institution was confirmed.

황해 녹조 대발생은 2008년 이후 매년 여름 대규모로 발생하고 있으며, 인공위성 분석을 통해 녹조 규모를 추정하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 정확한 녹조 면적 산출을 위한 위성영상 선택 기준이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 위성영상의 공간해상도에 따른 녹조 면적 산출 결과의 차이를 알아보고, 녹조 면적 산출에 적합한 위성영상을 제시하고자 한다. 이 연구에서 이용한 위성영상은 Landsat ETM+, MODIS, GOCI로 영상의 공간해상도는 각각 30, 250, 500 m 이다. NDVI 알고리즘을 적용하여 녹조 픽셀을 분류하였고, 임계값에 따른 녹조 면적 산출 결과를 비교하였다. 또한, Linear Spectral Unmixing(LSU) 기법을 이용하여 한 픽셀 내에 녹조가 차지하는 비율을 추정하였고, 녹조 비율의 차이가 면적 계산에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. NDVI 알고리즘을 이용한 녹조 면적 산출 결과, 공간해상도가 낮을수록 녹조 면적이 과대추정되는 경향을 보였고, 최대 1.5배 차이를 보였다. 또한, LSU 분석 결과에서 픽셀 내의 녹조 비율이 0.1(10%) 미만인 픽셀이 대부분이었고, 0.5(50%) 이상 녹조 비중을 차지하는 픽셀은 세 타입의 영상 모두에서 약 2% 수준으로 극히 적었다. 즉, NDVI 분석 결과에서 녹조로 분류된 픽셀의 경우 한 픽셀의 공간을 녹조가 100% 채우고 있지 않더라도 모두 동일 면적으로 간주되기 때문에 실제보다 과대추정되는 것으로 생각되고, 이러한 현상은 공간해상도 차이에 의해 심화되는 것으로 나타났다.

GPS which measured user's location information outdoors should be of poor sensitivity because of interference and jamming of different electromagnetic waves. Specially, it has a defect of low received rate in high-rise urban where reflection and refraction of satellite signal go well. In this paper, I propose user location information sharing modeling of both vehicle and mobile phone using bluetooth in urban.
