The nonlinearity of hemodynamic response in the somatosensory cortex was investigated with vibrotactile stimulation. The stimuli consisted of a train of 25 Hz, each tasting five different duration periods, 2 s, 4 s, 8 s 12 s, or 16 s with 20 sec periods of no vibration in a pseudo-random order. In order to understand the linearity on the change of stimulus duration for somatosensory cortex, two different tests- checking the linearity of system and finding the impulse response function from gamma-variate function were applied to analyze the hemodynamic response functions. They have produced nearly same results. The BOLD response in the somatosensory cortex Is nonlinear for stimuli of less than 8 seconds, but nearly linear for stimuli greater than 8 seconds. The amplitude, area, TTP, and FWHM as functions of the stimulus duration were calculated and showed a significant downward trend with Increasing stimulus duration for the amplitude and the area. It supports the ranges of nonlinearity are less than 8 seconds.

In this study, a transnational social space which emerges in a rural village of the northern Vietnam called 'Korean Village' is analyzed. The immigrant women of whom the spouses are Korean were forming transnational network with family members through which frequent and active communications took place. At the same time materialistic exchanges were occurring by means of remittance. Like most rural areas where up-to-date life patterns co-exist with outdated ones, the studied region was turning into a transnational social space under the influence of indigenous locallity, culture and other economic factors. Women were found to play a virtual role as resonator in practicing the transnational activity of migration. With the migration routes getting more and more solidified, the evolution of the transnational social space and the role of resonator, the form of transnational migration which makes involved young women look like a sacrifice is ceaselessly expanding around a specific region. This is noticeable because a rural village seemingly far away from internationalization is not only becoming the transnational social space but also a stage of its evolution.

Zizania latifola has used for folk medicine in Korea. It is effective in treating skin trouble and sensitivity skins. The purpose of this study was to develop high valuable types of bath preparation of Zizania latifolia. The natural materials were manufactured by the mixed ratio of Zizania latifolia. Product was manufactured by the mixed ratio of Zizania latifolia and 3 natural materials. Green tea was highest in sensory evaluation as similar with Zizania latifolia. optimum condition of mixed ratio was adaptive 50% Houttuynia cordata, 30% green tea with 20% Artemisia vularis. Product's sensory evaluation was showed best in mixing 40% and Zizania latifolia extract 60%. There were optimal condition for manufacturing of cleansing. Therefore, The development of a bath preparation used by Zizania latifolia is very useful for manufacturing cleansing. We suggest that it help for improve skin trouble and make healthy skin.

Attention mechanisms have been used in deep learning-based computer vision systems, including single image super-resolution (SISR) networks. However, existing SISR networks with attention mechanism focused on real image super-resolution, so it is hard to know whether they are available for CG or VR images. In this paper, we attempt to apply a recent attention module, called balanced attention mechanism (BAM) module, to 12 state-of-the-art SISR networks, and then check whether the BAM module can achieve performance improvement in CG or VR image super-resolution. In our experiments, it has been confirmed that the performance improvement in CG or VR image super-resolution is limited and depends on data characteristics, size, and network type.

In this paper, we proposed a method using sub-edge information extracted through a hierarchical structure in the process of generating super resolution based on a single image. In order to improve the quality of super resolution, it is necessary to clearly distinguish the shape of each area while clearly expressing the boundary area in the image. The proposed method assists edge information of the image in deep learning based super resolution method to create an improved super resolution result while maintaining the structural shape of the boundary region, which is an important factor determining the quality in the super resolution process. In addition to the group convolution structure for performing deep learning based super resolution, a separate hierarchical edge accumulation extraction process based on high-frequency band information for sub-edge extraction is proposed, and a method of using it as an auxiliary feature is proposed. Experimental results showed about 1% performance improvement in PSNR and SSIM compared to the existing super resolution.

This study describes conditions for the mass production of mutant hairy root lines by co-cultivation with A. rhizogenes harboring the activation tagging vector pHC7. Various sources of explants were subjected to genetic transformation with A. rhizogenes to determine optimum conditions and cultivar for the highest frequency of hairy root formation on explants. Hairy root formation also were investigated in transformed hairy roots grown in various culture media. Finally, a total of approximately 2,500 lines of hairy root mutants were produced in this study. A managing system for metabolomics in hairy root lines also were established. These hairy root lines will be useful to determine functions of genes relating biosynthesis pathway of secondary metabolites.

디스플레이 해상도가 지속적으로 고해상화가 되면서, 기존 저해상도 영상을 고해상도 디스플레이 크기에 맞춰 해상도를 키우는 기법인 초해상화(super-resolution, SR) 기법에 많은 관심이 쏟아지고 있으며 이에 대한 많은 초해상화 논문들이 게재되었다. 이 중 현재 최상 품질의 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 한 초해상화 기법은, 입력 받은 저해상도 영상을 자가 예제(self-examples)로 사용하여 선형 매핑(linear mapping)을 통해 점진적으로 여러 레벨(level)를 거쳐 조금씩 키우는 방법이다. 이때 각 레벨마다 기존 저해상도 영상 크기로 반복적으로 줄여 오차를 줄이는 역투영법(back-projection)을 사용하는데, 이 방법은 처리된 영상에 시각적 품질을 낮추는 링 아티팩트(ringing artifacts)를 생산하며, 이는 매 레벨마다 계속 누적이 되어 고해상도 결과 이미지 품질에 악영향을 미치는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 저해상도 정지 영상을 고해상도 정지 영상으로 점진적으로 키울 때 일반적인 역투영법 대신 비국소적 평균법(non-local means, NLM) 기반 역투영법을 사용하는 초해상화 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 매 레벨마다 생기는 링 아티팩트를 효과적으로 제거하여 높은 시각적 품질의 고해상도 영상을 복원할 수 있게 한다. 실험을 통해 제안된 초해상화 기법을 사용 시 기존 초해상화 기법보다 향상된 고품질 고해상도 영상 복원이 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

With the development of deep learning, super-resolution (SR) methods have tried to use deep learning mechanism, instead of using simple interpolation. SR methods using deep learning is generally based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), but recently, SR researches using attention mechanism have been actively conducted. In this paper, we propose an approach of improving SR performance using one of the attention mechanisms, non-local sparse attention (NLSA). Through experiments, we confirmed that the performance of the existing SR models, IMDN, CARN, and OISR-LF-s can be improved by using NLSA.

In this study, a suitable algorithm for each BRT stop type is presented through the network construction and algorithm design effect analysis through the LISA, a traffic signal program, for the BRT stop type in the BRT Design Guidelines, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, 2010.6. It was. The phase insert technique is the most effective method for the stop before passing the intersection, the early green technique for the stop after the intersection, and the extend green technique for the mid-block type stop. The extension green technique is used only because it consists of BRT vehicles, general vehicles and pedestrians. Analyzed. After passing through the intersection, the stop was analyzed as 56.4 seconds for the total crossing time and 29.8 seconds for the delay time. In the mid-block type stop, the total travel time of the intersection was 40.5 seconds, the delay time was 9.6 seconds, the average travel time of up and down BRT was 70.2 seconds, the delay time was 14.0 seconds, and the number of passages was 29.

This study investigated the effects of response prompting through 3-steps compliance training to reaction time for child with Asperger's syndrome(AS). The participant was 3 and 8 year-old boy who was diagnostic As with non-compliant, delayed receptive language. Study design was multiple-baseline across behaviors. Target Behaviors were hands-up, following direction, and answering behavior. Dependent variable was latency reaction time during compliance training. This results mean that reaction time was increased raise hands-up behavior, compliance behavior and response ask questions. During intervention, the participant improve the rate on-task behavior as well as reduce off-task behaviors.
