Global sequence alignment in search of similarity or homology favors larger size of the sequence because it keeps looking for more similar section between two sequences in the hope that it adds up scores for matched part in the rest of the sequence. If a substantial size of mismatched section exists in the middle of the sequence, it greatly reduces the total alignment score. In this case a whole sequence would be better to be divided into multiple sections. Overall alignment score over the multiple sections of the sequence would increase as compared to global alignment. This method is called multiple local alignment. In this paper, we implement a multiple local alignment algorithm, an extension of Smith-Waterman algorithm and show the experimental results for the algorithm that is able to search for sub-optimal sequence.

두 서열을 비교하여 유사성(similarity)이나 상동성(homology)를 찾기 위한 서열 정렬 방법 중에서 지역 정렬에 많이 사용되는 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘의 제한점인 Mosaic effect와 Shadow effect를 극복하기 위한 효율적인 방법을 살펴보고, 하나의 최대 값이 아닌 다수개의 최대 값을 찾아 다수개를 정렬함으로써 서열내에 존재 할 수 있는 다수개의 지역 정렬을 찾고 Normalized sequence alignment 알고리즘을 이용하여 서열 정렬된 결과들의 우선 순위를 매겨본다.

본 연구는 생물정보학(Bioinformatics)의 가장 기초적인 분야중 하나인, 새롭게 밝혀진 유전자 서열과 이미 밝혀진 유전자 서열 사이의 유사성(similarity)이나 상동성(homology)을 찾기 위한 방법에 대한 연구 중 지역 서열정렬로 사용하는 알고리즘인 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘이 갖고 있는 문제를 파악한다. 긴 서열에 대한 선호를 막고 대신 부분적인 지역 정렬을 다수 개 찾아 정렬시키는 알고리즘을 제안하기로 한다.

We present a novel memory-efficient parallel ray casting algorithm for unstructured grid volume rendering on multi-core CPUs. Our method is based on the Bunyk ray casting algorithm. To solve the high memory overhead problem of the Bunyk algorithm, we allocate a fixed size local buffer for each thread and the local buffers contain information of recently visited faces. The stored information is used by other rays or replaced by other face's information. To improve the utilization of local buffers, we propose an image-plane based ray grouping algorithm that makes ray groups have high coherency. The ray groups are then distributed to computing threads and each thread processes the given groups independently. We also propose a novel hash function that uses the index of faces as keys for calculating the buffer index each face will use to store the information. To see the benefits of our method, we applied it to three unstructured grid datasets with different sizes and measured the performance. We found that our method requires just 6% of the memory space compared with the Bunyk algorithm for storing face information. Also it shows compatible performance with the Bunyk algorithm even though it uses less memory. In addition, our method achieves up to 22% higher performance for a large-scale unstructured grid dataset with less memory than Bunyk algorithm. These results show the robustness and efficiency of our method and it demonstrates that our method is suitable to volume rendering for a large-scale unstructured grid dataset.

Segmentation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in knee MRI remains a challenging task due to its inhomogeneous signal intensity and low contrast with surrounding soft tissues. In this paper, we propose a multi-atlas-based segmentation of the ACL in knee MRI with locally-aligned probabilistic atlas (PA) in an iterative graph cuts framework. First, a novel PA generation method is proposed with global and local multi-atlas alignment by means of rigid registration. Second, with the generated PA, segmentation of the ACL is performed by maximum-aposteriori (MAP) estimation and then by graph cuts. Third, refinement of ACL segmentation is performed by improving shape prior through mask-based PA generation and iterative graph cuts. Experiments were performed with a Dice similarity coefficients of 75.0%, an average surface distance of 1.7 pixels, and a root mean squared distance of 2.7 pixels, which increased accuracy by 12.8%, 22.7%, and 22.9%, respectively, from the graph cuts with patient-specific shape constraints.

In this paper, we introduce CoMP in 3GPP LTE-Advanced Release 11 to take care of shadowing effects appearing in cell-edge areas to meet rapidly increasing demand for high speed transmission and multi-media data. In order to mitigate interference, orthogonalizing is ideal but it is slightly difficult to be applied to real systems. Therefore, interference alignment and avoidance are used in practical applications. Interference alignment is a scheme enabling us to consider interference our friend not enemy. We show lattice codes in Gaussian channel achieve Shannon capacity where strong interference exists. In addition, we show the relationship between channel parameter a and DoF(Degree of Freedom) applying lattice codes to interference alignment for interference channel with three users.

In modern society, as technology has advanced and human life area has expanded, there has been an increasing demand for high-quality voice and video communications services without restrictions on time and place. In response to this demand, satellite communications systems that provide a wide range of communications and that offer multiple access are evolving day by day. In satellite communications systems such as Digital Video Broadcasting - Return Channel Via Satellite (DVB-RCS) and Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T), the multi-frequency time division multiple access (MF-TDMA) demand assigned multiple access (DAMA) scheme is used for efficient resource allocation. In this scheme, since the satellite terminals periodically request resources from the network controller, and the network controller dynamically allocates resources, it is necessary to arrange resource allocation information from time to time. Shortening of the alignment time is a more important factor in a satellite communications system in which a long transmission delay occurs due to long-distance transmission and reception. In this paper, we propose a sorting algorithm variable-selection scheme that shortens the sorting time by cross-selecting the sorting algorithm based on a threshold value, while setting the number of frames in the MF-TDMA DAMA satellite communications system as the threshold value.

Recently, attention to the pandemic situation represented by COVID-19 emerged problems caused by unexpected shortage of medical personnel. In this paper, we present a method for diagnosing the presence or absence of lesional sign on PA chest X-ray images as computer vision solution to support diagnosis tasks. Method for visual anomaly detection based on feature modeling can be also applied to X-ray images. With extracting feature vectors from PA chest X-ray images and divide to patch unit, region-specific abnormality can be detected. As preliminary experiment, we created simulation data set containing multiple objects and present results of the comparative experiments in this paper. We present method to improve both efficiency and performance of the process through hard masking of patch features to aligned images. By summing up regional specificity and global anomaly detection results, it shows improved performance by 0.069 AUROC compared to previous studies. By aggregating region-specific and global anomaly detection results, it shows improved performance by 0.069 AUROC compared to our last study.

The transmitted signal from a source is transmitted to a destination through wireless channels. But if the mobile destination is out of the coverage of the source or exists in the shady side of the coverage, the destination can not receiver the signal from the source and they can not maintain communication. In order to overcome these problems, we adopt relays. A system employing relays is a multi-hop relay system. In the multi-hop relay system, coverages of each relay that is used for different systems can overlap each other in some place. When there is a destination in this place, interference occurs at the destination. In this paper, we study on the efficient co-channel interference (CCI) cancellation algorithm. In the proposed strategy, CCI is mitigated by zero forcing (ZF) or minimum mean square error (MMSE) receivers. Moreover, successive interference cancellation (SIC) with optimal ordering algorithm is applied for rejecting CCI efficiently. And we analyzed and simulated the proposed system performance in Rayleigh fading channel. In order to justify the benefit of the proposed strategy, the overall system performance is illustrated in terms of bit error probability.

Multi-beam echo sounder is more precise and efficient than single beam echo sounder relatively because it is able to survey a wide area with 3 times or 4 times swath width as much as the depth of water using multi-beam echo sounder. It is sure to be needed to control supplementary equipment accurately, however, because the principle of creation and measurement of the beam is elaborate and influenced a great deal by vessel's motion. We analyzed using visual and statistical methods in both sections of the depth of water where were the places of the center of the beam and ± 45° angles from the central beam to improve the precise of Multi-beam echo sounder in this study. In result, it was required to control supplementary equipment because of errors from the vibration of an inertia governor and misalignment of extra units. Therefore, we reduced the vibration from the vessel's engine by sticking rubbers to the inertia governor and measured the offset values of extra units accurately, converted them to the values of horizontal position and lined up. In result, the precise in sounding the depth at the place of ± 45° from the center of the beam was improved from the level of the 1st order to the special order in a hydrographic survey of the IHO S44 standards and a phenomenon of ripple patterns in the overlapped area by misalignment was decreased remarkably.
