In this paper, we propose a text processing method for Hindi characters, Devanagari scripts, in the Android. The key points of the text processing are to device automata, which define the combining rules of alphabets into a set of syllables, and to implement a font rendering engine, which retrieves and displays the glyph images corresponding to specific characters. In general, an automaton depends on the type and the number of characters. For the soft-keyboard, we designed the automata with 14 consonants and 34 vowels based on Unicode. Finally, a combined syllable is converted into a glyph index using the mapping table, used as a handle to load its glyph image. According to the multi-lingual framework of Freetype font engine, Dvanagari scripts can be supported in the system level by appending the implementation of our method to the font engine as the Hindi module. The proposed method is verified through a simple message system.

Polymer composites for measuring the radioactive contamination are prepared by coating ZnS(Ag) powders as a scintillator on polysulfone base layer. The composites consist of the active layer for a scintillation reaction with radioactive wastes and the transparent support layer for transmittance of light photons emitted by scintillation in the active layer. The binding of the active layer, including ZnS(Ag), on the support layer is proceeded via coating with polysulfone as a binder, without any extra adhesive. The coating was obtained by either casting via a Doctor Blade as applicator or screen printing. The prepared composites feature a monolithic structure, resulting in the complete adhesion between two layers. The composite prepared by the casting technique using an applicator holds a good detection efficiency in measuring the alpha radionuclide, but its structure becomes fragile because of warping in morphology. On the contrary, the composite prepared by the screen printing shows a good detection capacity as well as a good stability in a mechanical shape.

In this study, we report the effect of VI/III ratio on ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayer on sapphire substrate by halide vapor phase epitaxy. The surface of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayer grown with various VI/III ratios was flat and crack-free. To analyze the optical properties of the ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayers, the transmittance and an optical band gap were measured. The optical band gap was shown to be around 5 eV and showed a proportional increase in VI/III ratios. To determine the crystal quality of alpha gallium oxide grown with a ratio of 23, closed to the theoretical optical band gap, the FWHM was measured by HR-XRD. The calculated dislocation density of screw and edge were $1.5{\times}10^7cm^{-2}$ and $5.4{\times}10^9cm^{-2}$, respectively.

This paper describes the experiments of gaze tracking utilizing a low-cost electrooculogram measuring device. The goal of the experiments is to verify whether the low-cost device can be used for a complicated human-computer interaction tool, such as the eye-writing. Two experiments are conducted for this goal: a simple gaze tracking of four directional eye-movements, and eye-writing-which is to draw letters or shapes in a virtual space. Eye-written alphabets were obtained by two PSL-iEOGs and an Arduino Uno; they were classified by dynamic positional warping after preprocessed by a wavelet function. The results show that the expected recognition accuracy of the four-directional recognition is close to 90% when noises are controlled, and the similar median accuracy (90.00%) was achieved for the eye-writing when the number of writing patterns are limited to five. In future works, additional algorithms for stabilizing the signal need to be developed.

Unreadable Khitan scripts of ancient documents written by indian ink on parchment(sheepskin) are visualized by active infrared thermography without contacting and damaging the document which are deteriorated and aged presumably over many years. Sinusoidal infrared thermal wave using Halogen lamp is applied to the surface of the document in order to selectively magnify and record the thermal response of indian ink. The infrared image of the document captured in real time by infrared camera under the active external excitation shows the better sharpness and readability of Khitan characters than the optical image, from which many Khitan letters like ' ' and ' ' sounding as 'd' and 'ri' in English alphabet are detected and deciphered. It is concluded from the experiment that the active infrared thermography can be used as a promising method for digital reconstruction and preservation of ancient documents in the future.

본 연구에서는 동적환경 감성 시험평가 시스템(driving simulator)을 이용하여 다양한 운전속도(40, 70, 100km/h)에서 주행시 운전자의 감성평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 주행속도가 증가할수록 쾌활성, 쾌적감, 긴장감, 각성감, 속도감이 높게 나타났고, 심박수는 증가하였다. 안정시에 비하여 주행시에 뇌파의 알파파는 감소하고 베타파는 증가하였으며 호흡수가 증가하였으나, 조건간의 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 또한 70km/h이상에서 GSR의 증가와 SKT의 감소가 인정되었으며, 70km/h이하에서 눈깜박임율이 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로부터, 운전자는 속도가 증가할수록 주관적으로 긍정적인 감성을 느끼지만, 70km/h이상에서 자율신경계 반응에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 결과는 실제차량 및 시뮬레이터에서 수행한 선행연구의 결과와 대체로 일치하여 본 시스템으로 운전자 감성평가가 충분히 수행될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

동적 시뮬레이터에서 정속주행(70km/h)과 급출발(0km/h$\longrightarrow$70km/h)및 급제동(70km/h$\longrightarrow$ 0km/h)에 따른 운전자의 심리생리적 반응을 알아보았다. 피험자는 운전경력이 1년 이상인 20대 남자 12명을 대상으로 하였다. 실험결과 주관적인 쾌적감은 급출발에서 가장 높았고 각성감은 정속주행에 비해 급출발과 급제동에서 높았다. 주행시 뇌파는 모든 조건에서 알파파가 안정 상태(정차)일 때보다 감소하였고 베타파는 증가하였다. 피부전기저항은 모든 주행 조건에서 정차에 비해 증가한 반면 피부온도는 낮아졌으며 조건간에는 급출발일 때 피부온도가 더욱 낮았고 피부전기저항은 더 높았다. 이러한 결과로부터 정차, 정속주행에 비해 급출발과 급제동 조건에서 주관적, 생리적 반응의 변화가 현저함을 알 수 있었다.

Cavity resonances are caused by combustion such as the rapid of pressure rise that occurs from knock in high power gasoline engines. These resonances generally occur at frequencies greater than 5KHz. Analysis of these resonances is important for knock control system design in high power gasoline engines. In this paper, in order to design knock control system for the high power gasoline engine, knock phenomena that occur in chamber were analized theoretically and resonance frequencies of knock signals were predicted. Also, experiments were performed using Soupe x-engine and non-resonance type knock sensor of Bosch co. in Germany. In the result, good agreement was obtained between theoretical prediction and experimental observation.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase $C-{\gamma}\;1\; (PLC-{\gamma}\;1)$ has pivotal roles in cellular signaling by producing second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate $(IP_3)$ and diacylglycerol (DG). Tubulin is a main component of microtubules and mitotic spindle fibers, which are composed of ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-tubulin$ heterodimers in all eukaryotic cells. In humans, six ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes have been identified which display a distinct pattern of tissue expression. Previously we found that $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ and one of four ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes including ${\beta}1$, ${\beta}2$, ${\beta}3$ and ${\beta}6$, colocalized in COS-7 cells and cotranslocated to the plasma membrane to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ upon agonist stimulation. In the present study, we demonstrate that the remaining two, tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$, also showed a potential to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. The phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate $(PIP_2)$ hydrolyzing activity of $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ was substantially increased in the presence of purified ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ tubulin in vitro, whereas the activity was not promoted by bovine serum albumin, suggesting that tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ also activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. Taken together, our results suggest that all the ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotype activates $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ activity to regulate cellular signaling.

Since Turing (1950) proposed the development of a machine or system that could think and communicate with humans, many engineers and scientists have made endless efforts to create machines and systems that can replace humans. This effort made the field of artificial intelligence. Recently, as many people have been interested in the 4th Industrial Revolution, research on artificial intelligence technology has been actively carried out not only in the university laboratories but also in the companies as the core technology for realizing the 4th Industrial Revolution. As the artificial intelligence technology has been penetrated deeply into our lives, it is true that our lives have become much easier and more comfortable than in the past, but on the other hand, we have begun to have various negative effects. In this study, we review the social changes caused by artificial intelligence in terms of intelligent products and services. By analyzing positive effects and dysfunctions in various cases of daily life and work environment, we try to identify main policy issues.
