A mutant of Mycobacterium sp. has been isolated which is capable of degrading cholesterol and plant sterol to androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione and 9-hydroxyandrostene-3, 17-dione. Also this mutant hydroxylated the steroidal nucleus at the 9 $\alpha$ position. No ring degradation inhibitory agents are required for these processes.

In the study, a control strategy using a feedback linearization compensator and a disturbance observer was suggested and applied to the synchronization control of two hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic system consists of a proportional directional control valve with overlap characteristic near the neutral position, a conventional hydraulic cylinder and an external load. The control performances of the system were verified through numerical simulations. From the simulations, it was ascertained that excellent control performances were obtained with the suggested control strategy.

선진국에서의 GPS 위성정보를 활용한 자세결정 센서개발은 새로운 GPS 관련연구 분야로 떠오르고 있는 실정이다. 지금까지 국제학회에 보고된 대부분의 연구는 GPS 위성신호의 Carrier phase 측정을 통해 고중차등을 이용한 방법으로 주로 3-D 자세결정방식에 치중하고 있으나, 아직 실무에서의 활용은 이른 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 논문은 GPS 위성신호의 범용이 C/A 코드 프로세싱 GPS 수신기 정보를 활용하여 선박의 방위센서 개발에 관한 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 1차적으로 GPS 위성신호의 오차벡터를 진시간으로 측정 및 분석을 통해 GPS 위성오차중 가장 심각한 S/A 오차 발생기간에도 방위센서 구측을 위한 정보획득에는 문제가 되지 않음을 확인하였고, 수신된 Two-Point 위성정보를 이용 새로운 선박의 방위센서 "GPS-Compass"를 구측 비선형 모델하에서의 해상 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 제시한 "GPS-Compass"의 새로운 선박 방위센서로의 활용가능성을 보였다.박 방위센서로의 활용가능성을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 효과적으로 선택된 초기 탐색 위치를 이용한 움직임 추정의 고속 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 2$\times$2화소 블록 평균으로 부표본화 영상에서 움직임 벡터를 얻어 원영상 비율로 확대하고, 주위 블록의 움직임으로부터 예측 움직임 벡터를 구하여, 이 중에서 정합오차가 작은 것을 초기 탐색 위치로 선택한다. 그리고 선택된 초기 탐색 위치를 중심으로 회전 탐색을 시작하여, 연속 소거 알고리즘으로 탐색할 후보 블록을 선택하고, 부분 정합 왜곡 소거법을 사용하여 블록간 정합오차 계산량을 줄이면서, 고속으로 움직임 벡터를 추정한다. 알고리즘의 실제 적용에 있어서는 선택된 초기 탐색 위치를 중심으로 회전 탐색 패턴의 탐색 범위를 조절하거나, 매크로 블록 당 복잡도를 제한하여 계산량을 줄일 수 있다. 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 전역탐색 블록정합 알고리즘에 대하여 0.2dB 이하의 미소한 평균 PSNR 저하만을 발생하면서, FBMA 복잡도의 3% 이하의 평균 복잡도를 소요하였다. 이것은 3단계 탐색법에 대하여 40% 이하의 계산량이다. 그리고 실험 영상들의 각 프레임에 대해서도 비슷한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

The shape of small or curved object is usually reconstructed using a single camera by moving its lens position to find a sequence of the focused images. Most conventional methods have used a window with fixed shape to test the focus measure, which resulted in a deterioration of accuracy. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new approach of using a shape adaptive window. It estimates the shape of the object at every step and applies the same shape of window to calculate the focus measure. Focus measure is based on the variance of the pixels inside the window. This paper includes the experimental results.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimension filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model (IMM) filter, federated variable dimension filter with input estimation, probable data association (PDA) filter etc. have been proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this paper, two existing tracking algorithms, i.e. the IMMPDA filter and the variable dimension filter with input estimation (VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance of maneuvering targets in clutter. To evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed algorithm, three typical maneuvering patterns i.e. Waver, Pop-Up, and High-Diver motions, are defined and are applied to the modified IMMPDA filter considered as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMMPDA filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated through computer simulations.

Isophotes and surface brightness distribution were obtained for the late type normal spiral galaxy NGC 7793 (morphological type SA(s)d) which is one of the Sculptor group. The calculated total luminosity $M_{T}$ is obtained as 9.44 and the corrected face on magnitude ${B_T}^{circ}$ is 9.10. The revised distance to this galaxy $\Delta$=3.1 Mpc (de Vaucouleurs and Davoust 1980) is used for calculating the absolute magnitude ${M_T}^{circ}$ = -18.36. From the isophotes, the position angle to the major axis is $101^{circ}$, the mean axial ratio is q=b/a =0.65, and the inclination is i=50$^{circ}$. The concentric indices $C_{21}$=1069 and $C_{32}$ =1.50 are well agreed to the average value of Sd type galaxies.

The flexibility of long reach manipulators presents a difficult control problem when accurate end-point position is required. Input shaping by convolving system commands with impulse sequences has been shown to be an effective method of reducing residual vibrations in flexible systems. However, existing shapers have been considered robustness fur only frequency uncertainty. However, this paper presents new multi-hump convolution(CV) input shaper that could accommodate with the simultaneous variation of natural frequency and damping ratio. Comparisons with previously proposed input shapers are presented to illustrate the qualities of the new input shaper. These new shapers will be shown to have better robustness fur the variation of frequency and damping ratio.

This paper investigates instructional strategies with potential for improving students' achievement in word problem solving. This review compares and analyzes the direct instruction (DI) and cognitively guided instruction (CGI) research on K-3 word problem solving mathematics students in a demonstration of my position that teachers need to understand student mathematical thinking to enhance students' achievement in word problem solving. CGI provides a more appropriate instructional model than DI for teaching word problem solving. For example, student-centered, conceptual understanding, and children's informal or invented problem solving strategies communicating with each other mathematically, etc. Korean teachers and teacher educators need to consider implementing CGI teaching strategies.

In this paper, a mobile system using multi-wheel steering and driving mechanism is proposed to maximize maneuverability of the wheeled mobile system. Among various possible configurations, the two-wheel steering and driving systems, which is minimal in structural requirement, is proposed to reduce the complexity in actual design and difficulties in control. The system possesses three or four degrees of freedom depending on the orientations of two wheels, one or two for driving and two for steering, which implies that the system's mobility is always less than three DOF. The proposed system, nonetheless, can exactly emulate characteristics of the omnidirectional motion as long as the planned path is smooth i.e., the curvature changes continuously while velocity is not zero. Efficient kinematic and dynamic control algorithms are proposed for position and orientation control of the proposed wheeled mobile system.
