In order to accommodate huge number of antennas in a limited antenna size, a large scale antenna array is expected to have a three dimensional (3D) array structure. By using the Active Antenna Systems (AAS), the weights of the antenna elements arranged vertically could be configured adaptively. Then, a degree of freedom (DOF) in the vertical plane is provided for system design. So the three-dimension MIMO (3D MIMO) could be realized to solve the actual implementation problem of the massive MIMO. However, in 3D massive MIMO systems, the pilot contamination problem studied in 2D massive MIMO systems and the inter-cell interference as well as inter-vertical sector interference in 3D MIMO systems with vertical sectorization exist simultaneously, when the number of antenna is not large enough. This paper investigates the interference management towards the above challenges in 3D massive MIMO systems. Here, vertical sectorization based on vertical beamforming is included in the concerned systems. Firstly, a cooperative joint vertical beams adjustment and pilot assignment scheme is developed to improve the channel estimation precision of the uplink with pilots being reused across the vertical sectors. Secondly, a downlink interference coordination scheme by jointly controlling weight vectors and power of vertical beams is proposed, where the estimated channel state information is used in the optimization modelling, and the performance loss induced by pilot contamination could be compensated in some degree. Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization algorithm with controllable vertical beams' weight vectors outperforms the method combining downtilts adjustment and power allocation.

Purpose - The Korean government has been promoting the New Southern Policy (NSP) prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which damage global value chain (GVC). The purpose of this paper is to emphasize that the NSP should be developed to provide tangible support in corporate GVC adjustment, away from diplomatic activities in order to offset GVC losses due to COVID-19 and expand export capabilities. Design/methodology - Two research methodologies are combined for this paper: A computational general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to estimate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and NSP on Korea's exports, and the decomposition methodology (Wang, Wei and Zhu, 2013) to evaluate the stability of GVC. The conventional CGE model was modified to obtain an estimate for decomposition. The research methodology adopted in this study was attempted for the first time, and it can be widely used in future GVC research. Findings - Results found the effects of COVID-19 reduced Korea's total exports by 27% and GVC by more than 30%. In particular, VA in Korea's exports to the NSP region was found to have a huge impact in heavy industries and textiles, and its exports to Vietnam seemed to suffer the largest loss in GVC among ASEAN countries. If the NSP is implemented properly, it appears that it could offset much of the negative impacts of COVID-19, implying the importance of the effectiveness of the NSP. Originality/value - Many papers have assessed the NSP descriptively, and the GVC has been a topic for many publications. However, the impact of COVID-19 on Korea's GVC with the NSP countries has not been quantitatively studied. This paper emphasizes that the NSP should be pursued based on the results of quantitative analysis. In addition, the research methodology of this paper can be used for other GVC research with relevant modifications.

Recently, there have been a lot of researches on the whole face replacement system, but it is not easy to obtain stable results due to various attitudes, angles and facial diversity. To produce a natural synthesis result when replacing the face shown in the video image, technologies such as face area detection, feature extraction, face alignment, face area segmentation, 3D attitude adjustment and facial transposition should all operate at a precise level. And each technology must be able to be interdependently combined. The results of our analysis show that the difficulty of implementing the technology and contribution to the system in facial replacement technology has increased in facial feature point extraction and facial alignment technology. On the other hand, the difficulty of the facial transposition technique and the three-dimensional posture adjustment technique were low, but showed the need for development. In this paper, we propose four facial replacement models such as 2-D Faceswap, OpenPose, Deekfake, and Cycle GAN, which are suitable for the Cox platform. These models have the following features; i.e. these models include a suitable model for front face pose image conversion, face pose image with active body movement, and face movement with right and left side by 15 degrees, Generative Adversarial Network.

Objective: The objective of this study was to select an effective in vitro digestion-fermentation model to estimate the effect of decreasing dietary crude protein (CP) on odor emission during pig production and to suggest potential prediction markers through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Methods: In the in vitro experiment, three diet formulations with different CP contents (170 g/kg, 150 g/kg, and 130 g/kg) but containing the same standardized ileal digestible essential amino acids (SID-EAA) were assessed. Each diet was evaluated by two different in vitro gastric-intestinal phase digestion methods (flask and dialysis), combined with fresh pig feces-ferment inoculation. Eighteen growing barrows (31.9±1.6 kg) were divided into three groups: control diet (180 g CP/kg, without SID-EAA adjustment), 170 g CP/kg diet, and 150 g CP/kg diet for 4 weeks. Results: The in vitro digestion results indicated that in vitro digestibility was affected by the gastric-intestinal phase digestion method and dietary CP level. According to the gas kinetic and digestibility results, the dialysis method showed greater distinguishability for dietary CP level adjustment. Nitrogen-related odor compounds (NH₃-N, indole, p-cresol, and skatole) were highly correlated with urease and protease activity. The feeding study indicated that both EAA-adjusted diets resulted in a lower odor emission especially in p-cresol and skatole. Both protease and urease activity in feces were also closely related to odor emissions from nitrogen metabolism compounds. Conclusion: Dialysis digestion in the gastric-intestinal phase followed by fresh fecal inoculation fermentation is suitable for in vitro diet evaluation. The enzyme activity in the fermentation and the fecal samples might provide a simple and effective estimation tool for nitrogen-related odor emission prediction in both in vitro and in vivo experiments.

합류식 관거 내 고형물의 퇴적으로 인해 통수능이 감소하여 여름철 장마시 국지적인 침수가 발생하며 이로 인해 관거 내 퇴적을 더욱 초래할 수가 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하고 관거의 적절한 유지관리를 위해서는 배수유역에서의 하수 및 지표면으로부터의 고형물 부하량을 산정할 필요가 있으나 많은 비용과 노력이 수반되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미국환경보호청에서 제시한 건조기의 합류관거 내 고형물 퇴적 부하량 산정기법과 지표면에서의 고형물 부하량 산정기법을 우리나라 군자배수유역에 적용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 하수로부터의 고형물 부하량은 205,759ka/yr이고 지표면으로부터의 고형물 부하량은 1,321,993kg/yr로 총 1,527,752kg/yr로 나타났다. 또한 수거량은 1,486,636kg/yr로 나타나 적절한 산정결과를 보여주었다. 배수유역에서 관거 및 지표면에서의 장기적인 관측이 이루어지고 이에 따라 국내설정에 맞도록 산정공식의 수정이 이루어지면 더욱 신뢰성 있는 산정을 할 수가 있으며 이를 통해 실무에서 많은 비용과 노력을 줄이고 합류식 관거 유지관리를 할 수가 있겠다.

본 연구에서는 아동들의 적응을 향상시키기 위해 개발된 Spivack와 Shure(1982)의 국민학생용 대인관계 인지 문제해결 기술훈련 프로그램을 정신지체 학생들의 능력 및 특성에 맞도록 수정, 압축하여, 이를 교육가능 정신지체 청소년들에게 8주간 총 32회(1회 $30{\sim}35$분)에 걸쳐 훈련을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 인지 문제해결 기술훈련을 받은 실험집단의 정신지체 학생은 훈련을 받지 않은 통제집단의 정신지체 학생보다 훈련 전에 비해 대안적 사고 능력과 결과적 사고 능력이 유의미하게 향상되었다. 그러나 부모에 의한 행동평가(CBCL) 및 교사에 의한 행동 평가에서는 실험집단과 통제집단간에 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 대인관계 인지 문제해결 기술훈련이 실제 문제해결 기술능력 가운데 중요한 인지기제의 향상에 유의미한 효과를 나타내었다고 결론 내릴 수 있으나, 이러한 인지기제의 유의미한 향상이 짧은 훈련 기간 등의 문제로 인하여 행동상의 적응으로는 연결되지 않았다. 앞으로의 연구에서는 훈련기간을 길게 하여 과잉학습을 충분히 시키고, 부모 훈련을 함께 실시하며, 행동적 접근을 병행한다면 대인관계 기술훈련의 효과가 확실히 나타나고, 그 효과가 지속되며 실제 생활 장면에서 일반화될 수 있으리라고 생각한다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to show the clinical results of combination of Nd-YAP (1340nm) laser therapy with conventional endodontic and periodontal treatment. Materials and Methods: Four patients with chronic advanced periodontitis and endodontic infection were treated with conventional treatment and Nd-YAP laser therapy. Occlusal adjustment and splinting were done for stabilization of the teeth with severe horizontal and vertical mobility. The protocol for periodontal treatment was followed as scaling and root planing, pocket irrigation with 3% $H_2O_2$ and exposure of Nd-YAP laser using 320${\mu}m$ optical fiber with 160mJ/pluse, 30Hz. The other protocol for endodontic treatment was followed as access opening, canal preparation by hand and rotary instrument, canal filling, and exposure of Nd-YAP laser using 200${\mu}m$ optical fiber with 200mJ/pluse, 10Hz and 180mJ/pluse, 5Hz which were used respectively for disinfection and canal filling. The assessments of probing depth, mobility, and radiography were made prior to and after treatment. Result: All of these four clinical cases showed good healing of periodontium, which presented decrease of mobility and pocket depth, and increase of bone regeneration and bone density on the radiography. Conclusion: The bactericidal effect of Nd-YAP laser would provide benefits for improving clinical results that are obtained from conventional therapy.

방송과 영화 등에서의 영상 기술의 발전은 최근 3차원 입체 영상에 대한 관심을 증가시켜 왔다. 뿐만 아니라 2차원 영상의 한계로 인하여 3차원 콘텐츠에서의 입체 영상 표현 기술 개발이 시간이 지날수록 더욱 활발해지고 있다. 이는 단지 방송 분야에 국한되는 것이 아니라 의료, 교육 등 다양한 분야에서 폭넓게 접할 수 있도록 입체 영상 기술이 개발, 연구되고 있다. 하지만 입체감 표현에 있어 필요한 정교한 연출과 입체감 인지에 따른 피로감 발생 등의 이유로 예측 불허로 변화하는 게임과 같은 실시간 시스템에서 입체 영상 기술의 접목은 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DirectX SDK 그래픽 파이프라인의 기하학적 구조를 바탕으로 입체감을 효율적으로 다룰 수 있고 상황에 따른 자동 시점 간격 조정을 통해 피로감을 해결하는 깊이감 조절 기법을 설계하였다. 이를 통해 입체 영상 기술이 접목된 게임 제작이 활발히 이루어질수 있는 새로운 대안을 제시해보고자 한다.

Proline accumulates in plants under environmental stresses including saline stress and alkaline stress. Here, we investigated the responses to two different stresses, saline stress (200 mM NaCl) and alkaline stress (100 mM $Na_2CO_3$) in two Leymus chinensis (Trin.) genotypes, LcWT07 and LcJS0107, and effects of exogenous proline on the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Both saline stress and alkaline stress significantly induced the accumulation of proline in leaves of the two genotypes after 96 h, and alkaline stress caused a transient and significant increase in LcJS0107 plants at 6 h. A reduction in the activities of catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), but not in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), was detected in plants exposed to saline and alkaline stresses. Remarkable decrease in relative water contents (RWC) was found in 144 h stressed plants. However, lipid peroxidation estimated by malonyldialdehyde (MDA) content in leaves remained relatively stable. With the addition of exogenous proline, it did not cause changes of proline levels in two genotypes, but combined with saline or alkaline stress, the exogenous application of proline significantly induced proline accumulation after even short treatment periods. Combined with salt stress, the exogenous application also increased the activities of CAT and APX. These results indicated that exogenous proline not only increases proline levels in vivo as a osmotic adjustment under stress, but mitigates the detrimental effects of saline and alkaline stresses by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes.
