Recently, DVC (Distributed Video Coding) is attracting a lot of research works since this enables us to implement a light-weight video encoder by distributing the high complex tasks such as motion estimation into the decoder side. In order to improve the coding efficiency of the DVC, the existing works have been focused on the efficient generation of side information (SI) or the virtual channel modeling which can describe the statistical channel noise well. But, in order to improve the overall performance, this paper proposes a new scheme that can be implemented with simple bit operations without introducing complex operation. That is, the performance of the proposed scheme is enhanced by using the fact that the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) frame and side information are highly correlated, and by reducing the effect of virtual channel noise which tends to be clustered in some regions. For this aim, this paper proposes an efficient pixel-domain WZ (PDWZ) CODEC which effectively exploits the statistical redundancy by using the code conversion and Gray code, and then reduces the channel noise by using the bit interleaver. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme can improve the performance up to 0.5 dB in objective visual quality.

Formal net charges, bond populations, atomic orbital coefficients, energy components and conformation of dimethyl-2,2-dichlorovinylphosphate have been studied theoretically by using the CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculation method in attempt to describe the reactivity and the stability of the molecule. From the analysis of rate equation, molecular orbital calculations and identification of the hydrolysis products, 2,2-dichloroacetaldehyde and dimethylphosphoric acid, a mechanism of the hydrolysis of dimethyl-2,2-dichlorovinylphosphate(DDVP) has been proposed. The hydrolysis of DDVP proceeds through the mechanism of nucleophilic addition, typical Micheal reaction in basic media. Therefore, it appears probable that the attack by strong nucleophile, hydroxide ion occurs at the increased positive charge $C_2({\alpha})$ atom of a staggered conformation due to the inductive effect (-)I>(+)R of 2,2-dichlorovinyl, electron-attracting group. And then, the hydrolytic scission involves the $C_2({\alpha})-O_3$, ${\pi}-anti-bonding\;orbital({\pi}^*)$ in the subsequent reaction in aqueous solution.

Recently, museums are attracting the attention of visitors and society. However, research on museum interpretation conducted at domestic and foreign is relatively limited. The plan design of the museum commentary system was mainly based on the perspective of the experts, and most of them do not reflect the desire of the visitors. This study focused on visitors' experience of using museum Interpretation system. Through analyzing the effect of the Interpretation system of the museum that the visitor feels, we examined whether the Interpretation system of the museum meets the cultural needs of the visitors and identified the problems and deficiencies in the system. After that, the problems were rearranged and suggested the main elements of the commentary system of the museum finally, so as to help improve the museum commentary system and the educational function.In the first part of the study, the four major explanatory methods existing in the museum were confirmed. After that, we conducted in - depth interviews on four types of commentary methods and collected existing problems and deficiencies. The results of the type analysis were grouped into 14 types and the questionnaire was used to conduct a general survey on 14 problems. In this study, the user 's discomfort and problems were identified in the museum Interpretation system, and based on this, five key elements necessary for the museum Interpretation system were derived. Among them, inhalation is the weakest element in the museum commentary system, and future research will be conducted on how to apply each factor. I hope that you will be a reference material when you carry out research on the optimization of the Interpretation system of the museum and the improvement of the Interpretation experience.

The problem of increased resistance to pesticides is caused by the management of Bemisia tabaci, which depends almost entirely on pesticides, and to solve this problem, we investigated the host preference of B. tabaci among herbal plants to develop a possible attractant for alternative control methods. Experiments were conducted in greenhouse tomatoes at the National Institute of Horticultural Science and Herbal Science in Wanju-gun. Major herbal plants such as lemon balm, chocolate mint, rose geranium, and apple geranium were installed 50cm from the ground and 30cm from the top of the tomatoes, then the density of B. tabaci was investigated. As a result of examining the density of B. tabaci by the location of the herbal plants, it was found that the lemon balm location showed the highest B. tabaci density while rose geranium and apple geranium were rather avoided. These results are expected to be helpful in the development of alternative B. tabaci control methods using herbal plants including attractants, repellents, and trap plants.

Active stormwater management is essential to minimize the impact of urban development and improve the hydrological cycle system. In recent years, the Low Impact Development (LID) technique for urban stormwater management is attracting attention as a reasonable alternative. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is actively used in urban hydrological cycle improvement projects as it provides simulation functions for various GI (Green Infra) facilities through its LID module. However, in order to simulate GI facilities using SWMM, there are many difficulties in setting up complex watersheds and deploying GI facilities. In this study, a model that can evaluate the performance of GI facilities is proposed while implementing the core hydrological process of GI facilities. Since the proposed model operates based on hydrological routing, it can not only reflect the infiltration, storage, and evapotranspiration of GI facilities, but also quantitatively evaluate the effect of improving urban hydrological cycle by GI facilities. The applicability of the proposed model was verified by comparing the results of the proposed model with the results of SWMM. In addition, a discussion of errors occurring in the SWMM's permeable pavement system simulation is included.

Even in recent years, treatment of first-aid patients is still often delayed due to a shortage of medical resources in marginalized areas. Research on automating the analysis of medical data to solve the problems of inaccessibility for medical services and shortage of medical personnel is ongoing. Computer vision-based medical inspection automation requires a lot of cost in data collection and labeling for training purposes. These problems stand out in the works of classifying lesion that are rare, or pathological features and pathogenesis that are difficult to clearly define visually. Anomaly detection is attracting as a method that can significantly reduce the cost of data collection by adopting an unsupervised learning strategy. In this paper, we propose methods for detecting abnormal images on chest X-RAY images as follows based on existing anomaly detection techniques. (1) Normalize the brightness range of medical images resampled as optimal resolution. (2) Some feature vectors with high representative power are selected in set of patch features extracted as intermediate-level from lesion-free images. (3) Measure the difference from the feature vectors of lesion-free data selected based on the nearest neighbor search algorithm. The proposed system can simultaneously perform anomaly classification and localization for each image. In this paper, the anomaly detection performance of the proposed system for chest X-RAY images of PA projection is measured and presented by detailed conditions. We demonstrate effect of anomaly detection for medical images by showing 0.705 classification AUROC for random subset extracted from the PadChest dataset. The proposed system can be usefully used to improve the clinical diagnosis workflow of medical institutions, and can effectively support early diagnosis in medically poor area.

Recently, the importance of electronic packaging technology has been attracting attention, and heterogeneous integration technology in which chips are stacked out-of-plane direction is being applied to the electronic packaging field. The 2.5D integration circuit is a technology for stacking chips using an interposer including TSV, and is widely used already. Therefore, it is necessary to make the interposer mechanically reliable in the packaging process that undergoes various thermal processes and mechanical loadings. Considering the structural characteristics of the interposer on which several thin films are deposited, thermal stress due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of materials can have a great effect on reliability. In this study, the mechanical reliability of the metal pad for wire bonding on the silicon interposer against thermal stress was evaluated. After heating the interposer to the solder reflow temperature, the delamination of the metal pad that occurred during cooling was observed and the mechanism was investigated. In addition, it was confirmed that the high cooling rate and the defect caused by handling promote delamination of the metal pads.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been attracting significant attention in modern society, owing to the increased incidence rate of various diseases along with population growth. EDCs are found in many commercial products, including some plastic bottles and containers, detergents, liners of metal food cans, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. EDCs have a hormonal effect on the human body, which disrupts the endocrine system, notably affecting sexual differentiation and normal reproduction, and can trigger cancer as well. Recently, the association between neurological diseases and EDCs has become a hot topic of research in the field of neuroscience. Considering that EDCs negatively affect not only neuronal proliferation and neurotransmission but also the formation of the neuronal networks, EDCs may induce neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder as well as neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. In light of these potentially deleterious outcomes, important efforts have been underway to minimize the exposure to EDCs through appropriate regulations and policies around the world, but chemicals that have not yet been associated with endocrine disrupting properties are still in wide use. Therefore, more epidemiological investigations and research are needed to fully understand the effects of EDCs on the nervous system.
