This paper presents characteristics of a virtual human's navigation using a limited perception-based mapping. Previous approaches to virtual human navigation have used an omniscient perception requiring full layout of a virtual environment in advance. However, these approaches have a limitation on being a fundamental solution for a human-likeness of a virtual human, because behaviors of humans are basically based on their limited perception instead of omniscient perception. In this paper, we integrated Hill's mapping algorithm with a virtual human to experiment virtual human's navigation with the limited perception. This approach does not require full layout of the virtual environment, 360-degree's field of view, and vision through walls. In addition to static objects such as buildings, we consider enemy emergence that can affect an virtual human's navigation. The enemy emergence is used as the variable on the experiment of this present research. As the number of enemies varies, the changes in arrival rate and time taken to reach the goal position were observed. The virtual human navigates by two conditions. One is to take the shortest path to the goal position, and the other is to avoid enemies when the virtual human encounters them. The acquired result indicates that the virtual human's navigation corresponds to a human cognitive process, and thus this research can be a framework for human-likeness of virtual humans.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. On the one hand it takes issue with Engstrom's claim that conceptual metaphors are propositional; on the other, it aims to demonstrate that the mathematical term 'mapping' is inappropriate for the analysis of metaphors. To my mind, the propositional analysis of metaphors, a wrong analysis for that matter, originates in the notion 'mapping' I argue that partial 'mapping' between propositional meanings and metaphorical meanings is either mental or psychological, with no concomitant 'truth' value. When concept metaphors represent propositionality, they lose metaphoricity; when they obtain metaphoricity, they are free of propositionality. The mathematical terms 'mapping' and 'proposition,' it is stressed, should be avoided in the analysis of concept metaphors like 'A is B' because they are confusing when applied to linguistic expression. 1 suggest that the term 'mapping' be replaced by phrases such as 'interaction between two domains,' projection from source-domain to target domain,' or 'understanding the properties of two domains between A and B,' etc. This would amount to proposing a pragmatic or cognitive theory of metaphor.

The capitalization of know-how, knowledge management, and the control of the constantly growing information mass has become the new strategic challenge for organizations that aim to capture the entire wealth of knowledge (tacit and explicit). Thus, knowledge mapping is a means of (cognitive) navigation to access the resources of the strategic heritage knowledge of an organization. In this paper, we present a new mapping approach based on the Boolean modeling of critical domain knowledge and on the use of different data sources via the data mining technique in order to improve the process of acquiring knowledge explicitly. To evaluate our approach, we have initiated a process of mapping that is guided by machine learning that is artificially operated in the following two stages: data mining and automatic mapping. Data mining is be initially run from an induction of Boolean case studies (explicit). The mapping rules are then used to automatically improve the Boolean model of the mapping of critical knowledge.

무선 통신 시스템의 효율을 높이기 위해 제안된 무선인지 (Cognitive Radio) 시스템은 2차 사용자가 주사용자 (primary user)의 스펙트럼을 서로 공유하는 시스템이다. 2차 사용자가 주사용자에게 간섭을 일으키지 않으면서 효율적으로 데이터를 전송하기 위해서 NC-OFDM (Non-contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)을 사용한다. 하지만 NC-OFDM은 기존 OFDM과 마찬가지로 높은 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 발생시켜 시스템 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 첫 번째로 NC-OFDM에서 부반송파의 분포에 따른 PAPR에 대해 분석하였다. 두 번째로 기존 OFDM의 PAPR 감소기법인 PTS (Partial Transmit Sequence)와 SLM (Selective Mapping)을 NC-OFDM에 적용하여 PAPR 감소성능을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 pruned-FFT가 적용된 PAPR 감소기법을 NC-OFDM에 적용할 경우 계산복잡도를 기존 OFDM과 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 pruned-FFT가 적용된 NC-OFDM이 기존 OFDM보다 PAPR 감소성능 및 계산복잡도 측면에서 보다 효율적임을 검증하였다.

Objective: Cortical iron deposition has recently been shown to occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate how cortical gray matter iron, measured using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), differs in the clinical cognitive impairment spectrum. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 73 participants (mean age ± standard deviation, 66.7 ± 7.6 years; 52 females and 21 males) with normal cognition (NC), 158 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 48 patients with AD dementia. The participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging using a three-dimensional multi-dynamic multi-echo sequence on a 3-T scanner. We employed a deep neural network (QSMnet+) and used automatic segmentation software based on FreeSurfer v6.0 to extract anatomical labels and volumes of interest in the cortex. We used analysis of covariance to investigate the differences in susceptibility among the clinical diagnostic groups in each brain region. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to study the association between susceptibility values and cognitive scores including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results: Among the three groups, the frontal (P < 0.001), temporal (P = 0.004), parietal (P = 0.001), occipital (P < 0.001), and cingulate cortices (P < 0.001) showed a higher mean susceptibility in patients with MCI and AD than in NC subjects. In the combined MCI and AD group, the mean susceptibility in the cingulate cortex (β = -216.21, P = 0.019) and insular cortex (β = -276.65, P = 0.001) were significant independent predictors of MMSE scores after correcting for age, sex, education, regional volume, and APOE4 carrier status. Conclusion: Iron deposition in the cortex, as measured by QSMnet+, was higher in patients with AD and MCI than in NC participants. Iron deposition in the cingulate and insular cortices may be an early imaging marker of cognitive impairment related neurodegeneration.

FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)는 IEEE 802.22와 같은 여러 무선표준에서 사용되는 OFDM 시스템의 주요 블록 중 하나이다. FFT의 전력소모 감소, 면적감소, 고속동작을 위해 새로운 FFT 아키텍처 개발, twiddle factor 곱셈을 위한 곱셈기의 수나 면적감소, 제어회로의 단순화 등에 초점을 둔 FFT 프로세서의 구현에 관한 연구가 지속적으로 진행되어왔다. FFT의 입력포인트 수 N이 증가함에 따라 $log_2N$ 개의 각 FFT 스테이지 구현에 사용되는 시프트레지스터(또는, 페모리)가 차지하는 비중이 전체 FFT회로의 70%이상이 되며 이러한 메모리들은 FFT의 처음 두 스테이지에 집중되어 두 스테이지의 메모리가 전체 메모리의 75%를 차지한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 송신부의 IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform)에서 요구되는 메모리 사이즈를 감소시키기 위해 입력변조신호, 파일럿(pilot)신호, 널(null) 신호의 mapping을 IFFT와 결합하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. Cognitive radio 시스템에 적용하기 위한 2048포인트 IFFT를 제안한 방법으로 설계하고 메모리가 차지하는 면적에서 기존의 방법과 비교하여 38.5%이상의 이득을 가짐을 보인다.

This study discusses cognition as a computable mapping in cognitive system and relates G del's Incompleteness Theorems to the computability of cognition from a metamathematical perspective. Understanding cognition as a from of computation requires not only Turing machine models but also neural network models. In previous studies of computation by cognitive systems, it is remarkable to note how little serious attention has been given to the issue of computation by neural networks with respect to G del's Incompleteness Theorems. To address this problem, first, we introduce a definition of cognition and cognitive science. Second, we deal with G del's view of computability, incompleteness and speed-up theorems, and then we interpret G del's disjunction on the mind and the machine. Third, we discuss cognition as a Turing computable function and its relation to G del's incompleteness. Finally, we investigate cognition as a neural computable function and its relation to G del's incompleteness. The results show that a second-order representing system can be implemented by a finite recurrent neural network. Hence one cannot prove the consistency of such neural networks in terms of first-order theories. Neural computability, theoretically, is beyond the computational incompleteness of Turing machines. If cognition is a neural computable function, then G del's incompleteness result does not limit the compytational capability of cognition in humans or in artifacts.

Cognitive map is used for structuring and analyzing complex and unstructured decision environments, and it is a tool for graphically representing interrelationships among a variety of factors. It is a representation of the subjective perception of individual decision maker. Usually it is constructed by a number of experts at group level. This paper presents the technique of building an accurate cognitive map through several tests about the preliminary generated one. This paper also proposes an approach for aggregating the causal intensities of multiple experts.

To develop a master plan of a university campus, we need to know how students view and use their campus. For this purpose, the well-known Linch's(1960) cognitive mapping methods are used to figure out the image of Yonsei University and its surrounding area which is perceived by the students of Yonsei University. Major findings are that the cognition levels for the edge which divides Yonsei University from the surroundings and the paths which the students commute along are relatively high. The students mainly use campus space near the main gate rather than the space deep inside of the university, which shows they use the campus space unevenly. Therefore, when considering a new master plan of Yonsei University, it is needed to develop methods which increase the even use of the campus space such as developing new commuting paths.
