Objectives : The effect of water extract of the pilose antler of Cervus korean TEMMINCK var. mantchuricus Swinhoe (Nokyong), a traditional immuno-suppressive and immuno-activating Korean oriental medicine, on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice model was studied. Identification of common Nokyong capable of affording protection or modulating the onset and severity of arthritis may have important human health implications. Methods : Nokyong has shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties in experimental animals. In this study we determined the effect of DAE on collagen-induced arthritis in mice. Results : In three independent experiments mice given DAE in water exhibited significantly reduced incidence of arthritis (33% to 50%) as compared with mice given no DAE in water (84% to 100%). The arthritis index also was significantly lower in DAE-fed animals. Western blot analysis showed a marked reduction in the expression of inflammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2), $Interferon-{\gamma}\;(INF-{\gamma})$, and tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha})$ in arthritic joints of DAE-fed mice. The neutral endopeptidase (NEP) activity was approximately 6-fold higher in arthritic joints of non-DAE-fed mice in comparison to nonarthritic joints of nonimmunized mice whereas it was only 2-fold higher in the arthritic joints of DAE-fed mice. Additionally, total IgG and type II collagen-specific IgG levels were lower in the arthritic joints of DAE-fed mice. Conclusion : Taken together our studies suggest that DAE may be useful in the prevention of onset and severity of arthritis.

본 논문은 엔트로피 기반의 가중치와 클러스터 분포크기를 이용한 향상된 FCM(Fuzzy C-Mean)알고리즘을 제안한다. FCM 알고리즘은 영상분할에서 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 퍼지 클러스터링 방법이다. 그러나 공간정보를 포함하지 않기 때문에 잡음 등에 민감하고, 클러스터를 이루는 특정들의 분포에 따라 화소들을 정확하게 분류할 수 없다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해서 FCM 알고리즘의 소속정도를 연산할 때 클러스터 분포크기와 이웃 화소의 공간정보를 이용한 엔트로피 기반의 가중치를 적용한다. 실험결과에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법들보다 잡음에 강건하며 분할결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 시간에 따라 연속적으로 변하는 $3{\times}3$ 행렬의 회전 성분을 효율적으로 추출하는 실용적인 방법을 제안한다. 이는 물리기반 동적 변형을 위하여 널리 사용되는 공회전 유한 요소법이나 형상 맞춤 변형에서 매우 중요한 기술이다. 최근 극분해를 사용하는 시간 독립적인 기존 방법들과 달리 회전행렬 추출을 물리적으로 공식화한 후, 점진적 회전 표현법을 이용하는 반복법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 점진적 회전 벡터의 최대 회전각을 ${\pi}/2$ 이내로 제한함으로써 반복 횟수를 줄이는 최적화 기법을 개발한다. 사실적인 동적 변형 시뮬레이션에서는 충분히 작은 시간 간격을 사용하기 때문에 이러한 제한은 실용적으로 문제가 되지 않는다. 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 효율성 및 실용성을 보인다.

본 논문은 무선망 환경에서 패킷의 지연 제어를 위한 트래픽 관리 방안을 제시한다. 전송 노드의 버퍼에서 서비스 순서를 결정짓는 방안으로 EDD(Earliest Due Date) 스케쥴링 정책을 적용하여 각 패킷의 긴급성에 근거한 서비스 제어가 이루어지도록 하였다. 또한 채널 공유 제어를 위한 MAC 파라미터인 contention window 값은 MAC의 non-work conserving 특성을 최소화하여 지연을 감소시킬 수 있도록 시스템 상태에 따라 적응적으로 설정하는 방안을 제시하였다. 이 방안은 트래픽 클래스와는 무관하게 각 패킷별 지연 제어가 이루어지므로 클래스 단위의 파라미터 설정이 필요 없게 된다. 이러한 구현의 간편성 이외에 기능 및 성능의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, IEEE 802.11e와 같은 클래스 단위의 큐 운용 방식에 비해 지연 감소 및 지연 요구 충족률이 높은 것을 확인하였다.

최근 들어 인공지능 계획기법을 이용하여 자동화된 시맨틱 웹서비스들 간의 조합을 구현하려는 연구들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 일반적으로 전통적인 인공지능 계획기법들은 복잡한 제어구조를 포함하는 웹서비스 프로세스를 하나의 단위 행동이나 계획으로 표현하기 어렵고, 온톨로지에 포함된 의미 정보들을 계획생성에 충분히 반영할 수 없으며, 웹서비스들 사이의 입출력 데이터 흐름을 직접 모델링할 수 없고, 계획단계와 실행단계가 분리되어 있어 웹서비스 실행단계의 불확실성과 가변성을 계획단계에서 충분히 고려할 수 없다는 등의 한계점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 접근 방법으로서 반응형 계획을 이용한 시맨틱 웹서비스 조합을 제안하고, 프로토타입 시스템인 SWEEP을 구현하였다. e-Commerce 분야의 예제 웹서비스들을 대상으로 실험을 통해, 우리는 반응형 계획이 자동화된 시맨틱 웹서비스의 조합과 실행을 구현하기 위한 효과적인 기술임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objective: This study aims to implement a non-contact gesture-based interface for presentation purposes and to analyze the effect of the proposed interface as information transfer assisted device. Background: Recently, research on control device using gesture recognition or speech recognition is being conducted with rapid technological growth in UI/UX area and appearance of smart service products which requires a new human-machine interface. However, few quantitative researches on practical effects of the new interface type have been done relatively, while activities on system implementation are very popular. Method: The system presented in this study is implemented with KINECT$^{(R)}$ sensor offered by Microsoft Corporation. To investigate whether the proposed system is effective as a presentation support tool or not, we conduct experiments by giving several lectures to 40 participants in both a traditional lecture room(keyboard-based presentation control) and a non-contact gesture-based lecture room(KINECT-based presentation control), evaluating their interests and immersion based on contents of the lecture and lecturing methods, and analyzing their understanding about contents of the lecture. Result: We check that whether the gesture-based presentation system can play effective role as presentation supporting tools or not depending on the level of difficulty of contents using ANOVA. Conclusion: We check that a non-contact gesture-based interface is a meaningful tool as a sportive device when delivering easy and simple information. However, the effect can vary with the contents and the level of difficulty of information provided. Application: The results presented in this paper might help to design a new human-machine(computer) interface for communication support tools.

The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is an effective means to track multiple targets in that it avoids explicit data associations between the measurements and targets. However, the target birth intensity as a prior is assumed to be known before tracking in a traditional target-tracking algorithm; otherwise, the performance of a conventional PHD filter will decline sharply. Aiming at this problem, a novel target birth intensity scheme and an improved measurement-driven scheme are incorporated into the PHD filter. The target birth intensity estimation scheme, composed of both PHD pre-filter technology and a target velocity extent method, is introduced to recursively estimate the target birth intensity by using the latest measurements at each time step. Second, based on the improved measurement-driven scheme, the measurement set at each time step is divided into the survival target measurement set, birth target measurement set, and clutter set, and meanwhile, the survival and birth target measurement sets are used to update the survival and birth targets, respectively. Lastly, a Gaussian mixture implementation of the PHD filter is presented under a linear Gaussian model assumption. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve a better performance in tracking systems with an unknown newborn target intensity.

The focus of this article is on the assessment of vertical wind vector components and their aerodynamic impact on lattice framework, specifically two distinct sections of a guyed transmission tower. Thunderstorm winds, notably very localized events such as convective downdrafts (including downbursts) and tornadoes, result in a different load on a tower's structural system in terms of magnitude and spatial distribution when compared to horizontal synoptic winds. Findings of previous model-scale experiments are outlined and their results considered for the development of a testing rig that allows for rotation about multiple body axes through a series of wind tunnel tests. Experimental results for the wind loads on two unique experimental models are presented and the difference in behaviour discussed. For a model cross arm with a solidity ratio of approximately 30%, the drag load was increased by 14% when at a pitch angle of $20^{\circ}$. Although the effects of rotation about the vertical body axis, or the traditional 'angle of attack', are recognized by design codes as being significant, provisions for vertical winds are absent from each set of wind loading specifications examined. The inclusion of a factor to relate winds with a vertical component to the horizontal speed is evaluated as a vertical wind factor applicable to load calculations. Member complexity and asymmetric geometry often complicate the use of lattice wind loading provisions, which is a challenge that extends to future studies and codification. Nevertheless, the present work is intended to establish a basis for such studies.

Physiological response of Panax ginseng var. atropurpureacaulo (purple stem variety, Pg) to light was reviewed through old literatures and recent experiments. Canopy structure, growth, pigment, leaf anatomy, disease occurence, transpiration, photosynthesis (PS), leaf saponin, photoperiodism and nutrient uptake were concerned. P. ginseng var. xanthocarpus (yellow berry variety, Px) and Panax quinquefolius(Pq) were compared with Pg if possible. Compensation point(Cp) increased with increase of light and ranged from 110 to 150 at $20^{\circ}C$ but from 140 to 220 at $30^{\circ}C$ with 4 to 15 Klux indicating occurence of light and temperature-dependent high photorespiration. Characteristics of Korea ginseng to hate high temperature was well accordance with an observation 2000 years ago. Korea ginseng showed lower Cp and appeared to be more tolerant to high light intensity and temperature than American sheng although the latter showed greater PS, stomata frequency and conductance, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Px showed lower PS than Pg probably due to higher Cp. Total leaf saponin was higher in leaves grown under high light. Ratio or diol saponin and triol saponin(PT/PD) decreased with increase of light intensity during growing mainly due to decrease of ginsenoside $Rg_1$ but increase of ginsenoside Rd. Leaves of Pg and Px had $Rg_1$ but no $Rb_3$ which was only found as much as $20\%$ of total in Pq leaves, and decreased with increase of light intensity. Re increased in Pg and Px but decreased in Pq with increase of light. PT/PD in leaf ranged 1.0-1.5 in Pg and Px but around 0.5 in Pq. Korea ginseng has Yang characteristics(tolerant to high light and temperature), cultured under Eum(shade) condition and long been used for Yang efficacy (to build up energy) while Pq was quite contrary. Traditional low light $intensity(3-8\%)$ for Korea ginseng culture appeared to be strongly related to historical unique quality. Effect of light quality and photoperiodism was not well known. Experiences are long but scientific knowledge is short for production and quality assessment of ginseng. Recent scientific knowledge of ginseng should learn wisdom from old experiences.

Aggregate Production Planning determines levels of production, human resources, inventory to maximize company's profits and fulfill customer's demands based on demand forecasts. Since performance of aggregate production planning heavily depends on accuracy of given forecasting demands, choosing an accurate forecasting method should be antecedent for achieving a good aggregate production planning. Generally, typical forecasting error metrics such as MSE (Mean Squared Error), MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation), MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and CFE (Cumulated Forecast Error) are utilized to choose a proper forecasting method for an aggregate production planning. However, these metrics are designed only to measure a difference between real and forecast demands and they are not able to consider any results such as increasing cost or decreasing profit caused by forecasting error. Consequently, the traditional metrics fail to give enough explanation to select a good forecasting method in aggregate production planning. To overcome this limitation of typical metrics for forecasting method this study suggests a new metric, WACFE (Weighted Absolute and Cumulative Forecast Error), to evaluate forecasting methods. Basically, the WACFE is designed to consider not only forecasting errors but also costs which the errors might cause in for Aggregate Production Planning. The WACFE is a product sum of cumulative forecasting error and weight factors for backorder and inventory costs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed metric by conducting intensive experiments with demand data sets from M3-competition. Finally, we showed that the WACFE provides a higher correlation with the total cost than other metrics and, consequently, is a better performance in selection of forecasting methods for aggregate production planning.
