  • Osteoporosis means a deficiency in the amount of bone tissue in the skeleton or part of the skeleton. Osteoporosis is a lesion, not a specific disease. 'Osteoporotic' describes the slate of a bone or skeleton at a given time. Osteoporosis may be diagnosed subjectively by visual appraisal, or objectively by measurement of radiographs, sawn bones, or microscopic sections. This study was carried out to make clear of the influence of ovariectomy on time course of fibular osteoporosis in rats. Seven weeks after ovariectomy, osteoporosis was evident, when the size of the bone marrow cavities significantly increased and the width from the bone marrow cavity and cortex significantly decreased than normal.

  • In order to utilize mass of oyster shells for a partial substitute material for reclamation, the shear characteristics of two-phase mixture soil with oyster shells were investigated with $\overline{CU}$ test. From various experiments, it was found that the increase of mixed ratio of oyster shells causes the shear strength of mixed soil. And this phenomenon not only depends on friction due to confining pressure such as pure clay but also is influenced by shaping skeleton of oyster shells. Also, it was discovered that there were many influences by clay-oyster shell mixture from the study of the secant modulus and dilatancy characteristics of mixed soil. In addition, variation of oyster shell skeleton during shearing stage is examined applying modifying coefficient concept.

  • An infiltration technique using W-Cu composite powder has been developed to enhance microstructural uniformity of W-Cu pseudo-alloy. W-Cu composite powder, manufactured by reduction from $WO_3$ and CuO powder mixtures, were blended with W powder and then cold iso-statically pressed into a cylindrical bar under 150 MPa. The pressed samples were pre-sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour under hydrogen to make a skeleton structure. This skeleton structure was more homogeneous than that formed by using W and Cu powder mixtures. The skeleton structures were infiltrated with Cu under hydrogen atmosphere. The infiltrated W-Cu pseudo-alloy showed homogeneous microstructure without Cu rich region

  • This paper handles the UX implementation for system control using the visual input information of hand motion. Kinect sensor from Microsoft is used to acquire the user's skeleton image from the 3-D depth map at a rate of 30 frames per sec. and eventually knows the x-y coordinates of hand joints. The x-y coordinate value changes of hands between the present frame and next frame shows the direction of changes and rotation of changes and the various hand motion is used as a UX input command for remote image control on smart TV, etc. Through the experiments, we showed the implementation of the proposed idea.

  • We screened 10,000 heterocyclic small molecules and identified a novel hit core skeleton of 3-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl) imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)phenyl acetate derivatives. It has been selected as a potential glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) activator and demonstrated its effects in increasing GLP-1 secretion, and thereby increasing the glucose responsiveness in both in vitro and pharmacology analyses. Further studies are currently underway to optimize the potency and selectivity of 3-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)phenyl acetate derivatives (hit compounds 2 and 8), and address their in vivo efficacy and therapeutic potential. These molecules may serve as useful evidence showing that compounds with a 3-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)phenyl acetate moiety are selective GLP-1R agonists, and have potential as anti-diabetic treatment agents.

  • This paper handles self-collision avoidance for a rescue robot with redundant manipulators. In order to detect all available self-collisions in advance, minimum distances between arbitrary robot parts should be monitored in real-time. For the minimum distance estimation, we suggest a modified method from a previous skeleton algorithm which has less computation burden and realize collision avoidance based on a potential function using the proposed algorithm. The resultant command by collision avoidance should not disturb a given primary task, so null-space of joint solution from a CLIK is utilized for collision avoidance by a gradient projection method.

  • The use of minutiae by fingerprint readers is robust against presentation attacks, but one weakness is that the mismatch rate is high. Therefore, minutiae tend to be used with skeleton images. There have been many studies on security vulnerabilities in the characteristics of minutiae, but vulnerability studies on the skeleton are weak, so this study attempts to analyze the vulnerability of presentation attacks against the skeleton. To this end, we propose a method based on the skeleton to recover the original fingerprint using a learning algorithm. The proposed method includes a new learning model, Pix2Pix, which adds a latent vector to the existing Pix2Pix model, thereby generating a natural fingerprint. In the experimental results, the original fingerprint is restored using the proposed machine learning, and then, the restored fingerprint is the input for the fingerprint reader in order to achieve a good recognition rate. Thus, this study verifies that fingerprint readers using the skeleton are vulnerable to presentation attacks. The approach presented in this paper is expected to be useful in a variety of applications concerning fingerprint restoration, video security, and biometrics.
