We propose a new method to deal with the optimal gain self-tuning of the PID controller which is used to industrial process control in various fields. First of all, in this method, first order delay system which was modeled from the unit step response of the system is Pade-approximated, then initial values are determined by the Ziegler-Nickels method. Finally, we can find the parameters of Pm controller so as to maximize the fuzzy inferencl function which includes the maximum overshoot, damping ratio, rising time and settling time. The proposed method also shows good adaptability for variations in characteristics and dead time of the system.

항로표지용 LED 등명기는 완전방수형 구조이며, 발광형태도 섬광 특성을 가진다. LED 등명기의 색도 및 광도 측정에 있어 섬광형태로 측정하는 것은 그 한계가 있으며, 이에 부동광(연속광)으로 측정이 이루어진다. 이때 중요하게 취급되어져야 할 것이 예열시간이며, 적정한 예열시간 선정에 따라 Field와의 오차를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 해상용 LED 등명기의 색도 측정 시에 고려해야 하는 예열 시간을 실험을 통하여 산정해 보았다.

볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 기법의 필요성은 데이터 용량의 증가와 네트워크 사용량의 증가와 함께 더불어 증가해 왔다. 현재에는 다양한 압축 기법이 개발돼 있으며, 사용자는 데이터 유형이나 응용 분야에 맞춰 압축 기법을 선택, 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 최근에는 응용 과학자들로부터 생성되는 데이터의 용량이 기하급수적으로 증가했는데, 이렇게 응용과학 분야에서 생성되는 데이터는 대부분 3차원 볼륨 데이터다. 2차원 이미지나 3차원 동영상 데이터의 경우에는 다양한 표준 압축 방식을 사용할 수 있지만 3차원 볼륨 데이터에 적용할 수 있는 방법은 한정돼 있으며, 특히 시간가변(time-varying) 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 표준은 거의 존재하지 않는다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 방식을 제안한다. 이 방식은 가시화를 목적으로 하는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터의 인코딩을 목적으로 하며, MPEG의 I-프레임과 P-프레임 개념을 사용해서 압축률을 높인다. 본 방식은 시간가변 부동 소수점 데이터(single precision floating-point data)로 구성된 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 대상으로 하는데, 한 블록 단위의 무작위 복원을 지원하며 Daubechies 웨이블릿 필터와 프레임간의 상관 관계를 사용, 대형 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 이미지 화질을 보존한다.

This paper presents real time implementation of 4kbps EHSX (Enhanced Harmonic Stochastic Excitation) speech coder that combines the harmonic vector excitation coding with time-separated transition coding. The harmonic vector excitation coding uses the harmonic excitation coding for voiced frames and used the vector excitation coding with the structure of analysis-by-synthesis for unvoiced frames, respectively. For transition frames mixed with voiced and unvoiced signal, we use the time-separated transition coding. In this paper. we present the optimization methods of implementation speech coder on the EMS320C6701/sup (R)/ DSP. To reduce the complex for real-time implementation. we perform the optimization method in algorithm by replacing the complex sinusoidal synthesis method with IFFT. and we apply fully pipelines hand assembly coding after converting it from floating source to fixed source. To generate a more efficient code. we also make use or the available EMS320C6701/sup (R)/ resources such as Fastest67x library and memory organization.

In this paper, we described the real-time implementation effort of MPEG-4 audio HVXC (Harmonic Vector eXcitation Coding) algorithm for very low bitrates, which has target applications from mobile communications to Internet telephony, on current high performance floating point TMS320C6701 DSP. We adopted a hardware structure for real-time operation. In order for software optimization, we used C- and assembly-language level optimizations for time-critical functional codes. Utilizing the internal program memory of the DSP as the program cache, the internal data memory overlap technique and DMA functionality, we could get a goal of realtime operation of HVXC codec both at 2 kbit/s and at 4 kbit/s. For an encoder at 2 kbit/s, the optimization ratio to original code is about 96 %. Finally, we got the subjective quality of MOS 2.45 at 2 kbit/s from an informal quality test.

최근 모바일폰에 500만 화소 이상의 카메라 모듈이 장착되는 등 모바일 장치에서 고해상도 영상의 인코딩 및 디코딩에 대한 요구가 크게 늘어남에 따라 저성능 시스템에서 실시간으로 동작하는 영상 코덱 구현에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 논문은 JPEG 디코딩의 마지막 단계인 컬러변환 과정에 대해 계산 복잡도를 최적화하는 기법을 제안하고 성능을 평가하였다. 제안된 기법은 JPEG 디코딩 과정에서 IDCT(Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform) 변환과 컬러변환 간의 선형성을 바탕으로 이들 연산 순서를 재배열함으로써 컬러변환 과정에서 요구되는 계산 횟수를 줄이고, 재배열된 부동소수점 연산에 대해 정수 맵핑을 적용하여 계산 복잡도를 줄임으로써 실행시간을 최적화하였다. 임베디드 시스템 개발 플랫폼에서의 성능 평가를 통해 제안된 기법이 기존의 컬러변환 기법들과 비교하여 실행시간을 크게 단축함을 얄 수 있었으나 복원 영상의 화질이 상대적으로 저하됨을 확인하였다.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been more widely used to study pharmacology. Oxytectracycline (OTC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and works by interfering with the ability to produce essential proteins of bacteria. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of exposure to OTC on behavioral changes or endocrine response in zebrafish. The behavioral effects of exposure to OTC (50, 100 or 200 mg/l) were characterized in several novelty-based paradigms such as the novel tank or open field test in zebrafish. Moreover, to investigate effects of exposure to OTC on endocrine response, we measured whole-body cortisol level using cortisol ELISA kit. As results of novel tank test, duration in top and immobile duration were significantly increased by the exposure to OTC in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). In addition, moving distance, highly mobile, velocity and zone transition were significantly decreased by the exposure to OTC in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). As results of open field test, the exposure to OTC increased immobile duration significantly (p<0.05). However, moving distance, mobile duration and velocity were significantly decreased by the exposure to OTC in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). Besides, the exposure to OTC elevated whole-body cortisol levels in zebrafish. These results suggest that the exposure to OTC may induce chemical stress in zebrafish.

Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract and its hydrolyzed fraction. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract (SCE) and its hydrolyzed fraction (SCE-40) on depression and anxiety-related behaviors in mice. Actions of SCE and SCE-40 on serotonin, norepinephrine and GABAergic systems in the rat cerebral cortex membranes were also examined. SCE and SCE-40 significantly reduced the immobility time in the forced swimming and tail suspension test in mice. Duration time of the open arms in the elevated plus maze test was significantly increased in the SCE and SCE-40-treated groups, compared with the saline-treated control group. SCE and its fraction SCE-40 significantly inhibited serotonin and norepinephrine transporter and GABA receptor binding, compared to the saline-treated group. In addition, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake were significantly suppressed by SCE and SCE-40. These results demonstrate that SCE and SCE-40 produce anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects through enhancing central serotonin, norepinephrine and GABAergic transmissions. These results suggest that SCE and SCE-40 as functional food might prove to be an effective antidepressant and anti-anxiety agent.

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of dithiopyr (DTP), a herbicide, on behavior in zebrafish. The toxicity of DTP has rarely been investigated in fish. In the present study, zebrafish were exposed to different concentrations of DTP in the range of 10-20 μM for 48 h in a test container, in order to measure the value of median lethal concentrations (LC₅₀). Behavioral experiments were performed, including the novel tank test (NTT) and the open field test (OFT), to assess stress responses or locomotion. After exposure to the DTP solution at a sublethal concentration of 2.5–10 μM for 6 min, the behavior of the zebrafish was observed for 6 min. In the acute toxicity test, the LC₅₀ value of DTP showed as 14.49 μM in the zebrafish. The NTT showed that the duration of immobility and the velocity were significantly increased by exposure at a concentration of 5 μM of DTP, compared with a control group (p<0.05). However, compared with the control group, DTP significantly decreased the distance moved and the frequency at the top of the tank, and significantly increased the turn angle and duration at the bottom, in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). In addition, in the OFT, exposure to DTP significantly decreased the distance moved and velocity compared with the control group (p<0.05). Exposure to DTP also significantly increased the duration of immobility, the turn angle, and the meandering movement, in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). Further, exposure to DTP at a low concentration elevated whole-body cortisol levels in the zebrafish. The results of this study thus suggest that DTP induces a toxic response and negative effects on behavior and the endocrine system in zebrafish.
