Histogram equalization is the most frequently used algorithm for image enhancement. Its hardware implementation significantly outperforms in time its software version. The overall performance of FPGA-based implementation of histogram equalization can be improved by applying pipelining in the design and by exploiting the multipliers and a lot of SRAM blocks which are embedded in recent FPGAs. This work proposes how to implement a fast histogram equalization circuit for 8-bit gray level images. The proposed design contains a FIFO to perform equalization on an image while the histogram for next image is being calculated. Because of some overlap in time for histogram equalization, embedded multipliers and pipelined design, the proposed design can perform histogram equalization on a pixel nearly at a clock. And its dual parallel version outperforms in time almost two times over the original one.

In the study, we endeavored to investigate the effect of phenylephrine, isoprenaline and prazosin on the tissue-specific vascular contractility and to determine the mechanism involved. There were few reports addressing the question whether thin or thick filament modulation is included in phenylephrine, isoprenaline and prazosin-induced regulation. We hypothesized that isoprenaline and prazosin play a role in tissue-dependent regulation of vascular contractility. Denuded arterial muscles of Sprague-Dawley male rats were suspended in organ baths and isometric tensions were transduced and recorded using isometric transducers and an automatic data acquisition system. Interestingly, sustained continuous contraction of thoracic and abdominal aorta. Furthermore, isoprenaline and prazosin together with phenylephrine inhibited transiently and persistently vasoconstriction of thoracic and abdominal aorta suggesting that additional mechanisms (e.g. decreased receptor density, chemical interaction, postreceptor signaling or distribution of agonists) might be included in the modulation of vascular contractility.

Dry reduction using natural gas was proposed to recover tin from waste tin oxide generated in a tin bath that was used for controlling the smoothness of architectural glass during production, and the reduction behavior was investigated. The utilized vertical natural gas dry reduction system is capable to process 4 L or 20 kg depending on input raw materials. The system was established by applying the upper intake and lower discharge method. The recovery rate was 97.2% at 800 ℃ and 4 sccm flow rate and increased with the amount of input gas. Hydrogen accounted for 23% of the discharge gas, showing a 16.6% hydrogen conversion rate. The reaction behavior of tin recovered via natural gas reduction provides basic data on the new waste resource reduction/recovery technology.

This study collected various data of urban roadways to analyze the effect of travel speed change, and a GRU-based short-term travel speed prediction model was developed using such big data. The baseline model and the double exponential smoothing model were selected as comparison models, and prediction errors were evaluated using the RMSE index. The model evaluation results revealed that the average RMSE of the baseline model and the double exponential smoothing model were 7.46 and 5.94, respectively. The average RMSE predicted by the GRU model was 5.08. Although there are deviations for each of the 15 links, most cases showed minimal errors in the GRU model, and the additional scatter plot analysis presented the same result. These results indicate that the prediction error can be reduced, and the model application speed can be improved when applying the GRU-based model in the process of generating travel speed information on urban roadways.

This paper is concerned with the optimality of exponential smoothing applied to the general IMA process with different moving average and differencing orders. Numerical experiments were performed for IMA(m,n) process with various combinations of m and n, and the corresponding forecast errors were compared. Results show that the higher differencing order is more critical to the optimality of exponential smoothing, i.e., the IMA process with the higher moving average order, forecasted by exponential smoothing, has comparatively smaller forecast error. If the difference between the differencing order and the moving average order becomes larger, the accuracy of forecast by exponential smoothing declines gradually.

네트워킹 환경에서 만족스러운 멀티미디어 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 효과적인 미디어 전송 구조가 필요하다. 그러나 인터넷 같은 일반적인 네트워크는 안정적인 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 보장된 네트워크 대역폭을 제공하지 않는다. 따라서 종단 시스템에서 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하기 위한 일반적인 방법으로 버퍼를 사용한다. 기존의 제안된 버퍼 관리 기법은 크게 두가지 영역으로 분류된다. 하나는 변화하는 네트워크 환경에 적응하기 위한 기법이고 다른하나는 요구 대역폭을 평활하하는 기법이다. 그러나 전자는 서비스 풉질의 심각한 손실을 일으킬 수 있고 후자는 동적인 네트워크 환경에 적응할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 동적인 네트워크에 적응하며 대역폭 평활화를 통해 더 좋은 서비스 품질을 제공하는 적응성 있는 대역폭 평활화 기법을 제안한다. 또한 저장된 MPEG 비디오를 이용한 실험을 통해 제안된 기법의 사용으로 비디오 전송 품질이 향상됨을 보인다.

The objective of this paper is to examine the detection limit, growth characteristics and notch curvature radius in short crack problem. Measurement techniques such as ultrasonic method and back-face strain compliance method were adopted. The fatigue crack growth rate of the short crack is slower than that of a long crack for a notched specimen. The characteristic of crack growth and crack closure is same as the case of a delay of crack growth caused by constant amplitude load for an ideal crack or single peak overload for a fatigue crack. The short crack is detected effectively by ultrasonic method. A short surface crack occurs in the middle of specimen thickness and is transient to a through crack depth is larger than the notch curvature radius.

The Proposed goodness-of-fit test Statistic $\hat{\lambda}_{\alpha}$ derived from the test Statistc in Kim (1992) is itself a smoothing parameter which is selected to minimize an estimated MISE for a truncated series estimator, $d_{\hat{\lambda}{n}}$, of the comparison density function. Therefore, this test statistic leads immediately to a point estimate of the density function in the event that $H_{0}$ is ejected. The limiting distribution of $\hat{\lambda}_{\alpha}$ was obtained under the null hypothesis. It is also shown that this test is consistent against fixed alternatives.

본 논문은 Cumulative Distribution Function(CDF) 부합에 의한 영상 개선 방법에 대해서 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 원본 영상의 히스토그램 분포도를 조사하여 히스토그램 그래프상의 특정 색도값들을 선정, 이 점들을 보간법을 이용하여 히스토그램을 재 작성한다. 이를 이용하여 원본 CDF 그래프를 크게 벋어나지 않고, 즉 밝기 정보가 크게 훼손 되지 않은 상태로 색도 값을 재 배치 함으로써 히스토그램 평활화와 스트레칭 효과를 모두 만족하는 영상 향상의 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

As many systems depend on electronics, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly. For example, a car with its steering controlled by electronics and no mechanical linkage from steering wheel to front tires(steer-by-wire) should be fault tolerant because a failure can come without any warning and its effect is devastating. In order to make system fault tolerant, there has been a body of research mainly from aerospace field. This paper presents the structure of predictive smoothing voter that can filter out most erroneous values and noise. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the predictive smoothing voter outperforms well-known average and median voters.
