  • The sounds of exhaust emissions of automobiles are independent sound sources which are nothing to do with voices. We have no information for the sources of voices and exhaust sounds. Accordingly, Independent Component Analysis which is one of the Blind Source Separaton methods was used to segregate two source signals from each mixed signals. Maximum Likelyhood Estimation was applied to the signals came through the stereo microphone to segregate the two source signals toward the maximization of independence. Since there is no clue to find whether it is speech signal or not, the coefficients of the slope was calculated by the autocovariances of the signals in frequcency domain. Noise remover for speech signals was implemented by coupling the two algorithms.

  • When observing an object in a space, a part of it is remembered into our perception in the time for paying attention or conscious observation and it reaches to our visual understanding. In this study, it examined characteristics by each subject through the process of visual understanding by changes in such observation time. The results from this study are summarized as belows: First, through analysis of the observation data focused on the distance between the observed points, it was able to apply those visual theories organized before to the analysis of characteristics of the time for understanding by each subject. Second, there showed big differences in the time for visual understanding by each subject according to changes in the observation time so that it was found that there were big differences according to the characteristics of subject's intention or purpose of the observation of a space. Third, as the number of continuous observation gives an important clue in judgement of how well the space was understood, it was able to compare and organize the mutual characteristics of the time the attention was concentrated, the time observed intentionally and the time understood visually. Fourth, it was found that the shorter subjects gave the intentional observation in observing a space, the longer they spent the time for paying attention, while the less they could understand it visually.

  • Strongyloides stercoralis is a human intestinal parasite which may lead to complicated strongyloidiasis in immunocompromised. Here, a case of complicated strongyloidiasis in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is reported. Presence of numerous S. stercoralis larvae in feces and sputum confirmed the diagnosis of hyperinfection syndrome in this patient. Following recovery of filariform larvae from agar plate culture of the stool, the isolate was characterized for the ITS1 region of ribosomal DNA gene by nested-PCR and sequencing. Albendazole therapy did not have cure effects; and just at the beginning of taking ivermectin, the patient died. The most important clue to prevent such fatal consequences is early diagnosis and proper treatment.

  • The mechanism of urinary excretion of sulfadiazine was investigated in the dogs by means of stop-flow technique Results of experiments were summarized as follows; 1. The ratios of U/P sulfadiazine to U/P creatinine $(U/P_{SD}:U/P_{cr})$ were always lower than 1 in all nephrons, showed a minimum in the proximal area. 2. $U/P_{SD}:U/P_{cr}$ were not affected by Probenecid or 2.4-DNP, whereas increased significantly by administration of sodium bicarbonate. 3. Probenecid did not alter the stop-flow patterns in alkalotic dog too. 4. $C_{SD}$ (clearance of sulfadiazine ) was appreciably influenced by change in urinary PH, or flow rate. All evidences lead to the conclusion that sulfadiazine reabsorption is passively transported by proximal tubules. No clue for active process, either secretory or reabsorptive, was obtained.

  • As network provides diverse functionalities recently, many rpotocol standards have become complex and many implementations have appeared. Such trends require us to test th econformance of implementations, called the conformance testing. Many researches have been performed on generating test sequence and on fualt masking base don T,U,D,W methods. At this jpoint, te new problem is suggeste dwhich is calle dthe completenes s criteria. The test sequences for the conformance testing have come up with this problem as well as fault masking. In this paper, we suggest the method of generating the preverified test sequence which can avoid the completeness criteria problem. The preverified test sequence is much more reliable than others by using the preverified edge. For the reliability of conformance testing, we define the immunity of the test sequence and provide the clue for the analysis of the test results using the immunity. The analysis of the results makes it possible for us to test the implementation again with more reliability. Also, the preverified test sequence is flexible so that it is combined with the fault-tolerant sequence for fault masking.

  • Human nature, life, mind and spirit have very important meanings for Oriental medical science. This is because understanding human mind and spirit not only makes treatment of people easier and more accessible but also provides us a clue for finding out something we lost. As a consequence of investigating various classic books by ancient medical practitioners and Taoist scholars s as follows: l. Mind and spirit were valued very highly in Oriental medical science, and this can be found in classic books like , , , and . 2. To cure people, acquirement of detailed knowledge of mind and spirit should be preceded. 3. The Taoist school regarded mind, spirit, human nature and life as critical agents of health care and perceived that they were indispensable for going back to The Great Emptiness(Nothingness before the First Cause), the ultimate goal of Taoist learning. 4. Although human nature, life, mind and spirit have different names and different users, it is like theory and practice and we can see that ancient sages used them all in the same context of natural law.

  • The vocabulary of modern grand hotels' interior designs reflects western design patterns, showing its nostalgia for modern architecture. And it also contains the trace of past designs implanted by others then, expressing the hardships of Korean history. Like this, the past architectural style distorted under the Japanese imperialistic rule has continued to exist until now without any significant changes, because there has been little effort to figure out the history of modern interior designs. And also there has been the lack of data and aesthetic descriptions about the modern interior designs that contain the historical nature of society. Therefore, this study will review the interior design of modern buildings, which trace back to the fawning of the Korean Interior Design. And it aims to understand the hotel interior's expressive characteristics and historical meanings by paying a particular attention to its lost parts. And it also alms to have a significant meaning in taking the first step toward a clue of the history of Korean modern interiors by systematically putting in order the ever-disappearing materials of modern hotel interiors.

  • X-ray cavities are typically detected as surface brightness depression in X-ray diffuse emission from hot gas in high resolution X-ray images (i.e., Chandra and XMM-Newton). Showing the coincidence of location with radio jets, X-ray cavities imply that the radio jets interact with interstellar/intergalactic medium. It is important to understand them since they can be a clue of understanding AGN feedback to their host galaxies. To understand the physics of the AGN feedback, X-ray cavity has been actively studied while there are only a few statistical studies on X-ray cavity based on small or incomplete samples. Hence, a systematic study with a large sample is needed. With the condition of sufficient X-ray photons to detect surface brightness depression, we constructed a large sample of 133 galaxy clusters, galaxy groups, and individual galaxies to investigate X-ray cavities. We detected 201 cavities from 94 objects using two detection methods (i.e., beta-modeling and unsharp masking method), and confirmed the cavity size-distance relation over a large dynamical range. The size-distance relation does not vary for different environments (i.e., galaxy cluster, groups, and individual galaxies), suggesting that there is little environmental effect on the formation of X-ray cavity.

  • According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths and most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. The currently most popular method for early detection of breast cancer is the digital mammography. A mass or calcification lesion has been known as the most important clue for the diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a diagnosis approach based on fuzzy cluster knowledge base. We combine different two sources of feature data in duel OFUN-NET and produce the diagnosis result with possibility degree. We also present the experimental results on the dataset of mass and calcification lesions extracted from the public real world mammogram database DDSM. These results show higher classification accuracy than conventional methods and the feasibility as a decision supporting tool for diagnosis of digital mammogram.

  • This paper is about interactional characteristics of a middle school student's conceptual ecology in the context of conceptual change. A case study in this paper shows that: (1) there is interacted with three characteristics(conceptions, past experience, and explanatory coherence) within conceptual ecology; (2) the interactional characteristics of conceptual ecology have significant affects on the difficulties of conceptual change. Implications of this case study are that: (1) teaching for conceptual change should start at the certain site related to subject-matter task within students' conceptual ecology; (2) Students' inconsistent explanations could be used as the clue of conceptual change; (3) Past experience is the important area of conceptual ecology research for understanding learners.
