Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymers cross-linked with pentaerythritol, a four-way cross-linker, are prepared to compare their mechanical and shape memory properties with the one cross-linked by glycerol. Composition of PEG and pentaerythritol is varied to search for the one with the best mechanical and shape memory properties. The highest shape recovery rate is observed for the copolymer composed of 30 mol% PEG-200 and 2.5 mol% pentaerythritol. Four-way cross-linking by pentaerythritol significantly improves shape recovery rate and retention of high shape recovery rate after repeated use compared to the one cross-linked by glycerol, a three-way cross-linker, and difference and advantage of additional cross-linking point are discussed.

동영상 프레임의 블록 정합에 있어서 현재 프레임의 블록들 사이에는 공간적 상관성이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 중심 지향적 특성과 동영상 내의 공간적 상관성을 이용한 개선된 고속 블록 정합 움직임 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 현재 프레임의 인접한 매크로 블록들에서 예측된 움직임 벡터와 크로스-육각 탐색 패턴을 이용하여 정확한 움직임 벡터를 결정한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 예측 탐색 알고리즘 (NNS)과 고속 블록 정합 알고리즘 (CHS)에 비해 탐색 속도와 화질 면에서 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 사용하였을 때 탐색 속도 측면에서는 약 $0.1{\sim}38%$ 정도의 향상을 보였고, 화질 측면에서도 PSNR (Peak Signal Noise Ratio) 값이 약 $0.05{\sim}2.5dB$ 정도 향상되었다.

With the rapid growth of multimedia data, research on cross-media feature learning has significance in many applications, such as multimedia search and recommendation. Existing methods are sensitive to noise and edge information in multimedia data. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised method for cross-media feature learning by means of $L_{2,q}$ norm to improve the performance of cross-media retrieval, which is more robust and efficient than the previous ones. In our method, noise and edge information have less effect on the results of cross-media retrieval and the dynamic patch information of multimedia data is employed to increase the accuracy of cross-media retrieval. Our method can reduce the interference of noise and edge information and achieve fast convergence. Extensive experiments on the XMedia dataset illustrate that our method has better performance than the state-of-the-art methods.

In this thesis, based on Genetic Algorithm, a new route search algorithm is presented to search an optimal route between the origin and the destination in intelligent route guidance systems in order to minimize the route traveling time. The proposed algorithm is effectively employed to complex road networks which have diverse turn constrains, time-delay constraints due to cross signals, and stochastic traffic volume. The algorithm is also shown to significantly promote search efficiency by changing the population size of path individuals that exist in each generation through the concept of age and lifetime to each path individual. A virtual road-traffic network with various turn constraints and traffic volume is simulated, where the suggested algorithm promptly produces not only an optimal route to minimize the route cost but also the estimated travel time for any pair of the origin and the destination, while effectively avoiding turn constraints and traffic jam.

In this paper, we examine the fundamental performance of image coding schemes based on multipulse model. First, we introduce several kinds of pulse search methods (i.e., correlation method, pulse overlap search method and pulse amplitude optimization method) for the model. These pulse search methods are derived from auto-correlation function of impulse responses and cross-correlation function between host signals and impulse responses. Next, we explain the basic procedure of multipulse image coding scheme, which uses the above pulse search methods in order to encode the high frequency component of an original image. Finally, by means of computer simulation for some test images, we examine the PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and computational complexity of these methods.

본 연구는 웹 이용자들이 검색엔진을 어떻게 선택하여. 어떠한 기능들을 활용하며, 검색결과는 어떻게 평가하는지 그리고 어떤 어려움을 겪고 있는지를 밝혀 보고자 하였다. 28명의 대학의 교수와 대학원생으로 구성된 이용자들을 대상으로 한 인터뷰결과를 분석한다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 본 연구의 참가자들은 검색결과에 대한 평가보다는 특정한 기능이나 익숙함에 근거하여 엔진을 선택하였다. 이들은 통합검색에 대해서는 의견이 양분되어 있었으며, 연산자의 사용이 결과에 미치는 영향이 거의 없다고 보고 있었다. 검색엔진에 대한 평가를 내릴 때에도 검색결과의 정확성외에 결과를 보여주는 인터페이스 디자인에도 상당한 관심을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Many gradient-based mathematical methods have been developed and are in use for structural size optimization problems, in which the cross-sectional areas or sizing variables are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. The main objective of this paper is to propose an efficient optimization method for structures with discrete-sized variables based on the harmony search (HS) meta-heuristic algorithm that is derived using penalty function. The recently developed HS algorithm was conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. In this paper, a discrete search strategy using the HS algorithm with a static penalty function is presented in detail and its applicability using several standard truss examples is discussed. The numerical results reveal that the HS algorithm with the static penalty function proposed in this study is a powerful search and design optimization technique for structures with discrete-sized members.

In this paper we proposed a new algorithm that can reduce the open-loop pitch estimation time of G.723.1. The time domain cross-correlation method is simple but has long processing time by recursive multiplication. For reduction of processing time, we use the method that compute the cross-correlation by multiplying the Fourier value of speech by it's complex conjugate. Also, we can reduce the processing time by omitting the bit-reversing of FFT and IFFT for time-frequency domain transform. As a result, the processing time of improved hybrid domain cross-correlation algorithm is reduced by 67.37% of conventional time domain cross-correlation.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 순차적인 inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) 영상들을 활용하여 표적의 회전 속도(Rotation Velocity: RV) 추정을 통한 수직 거리 스케일링(cross-range scaling: CRS)을 수행한다. 순차적으로 형성된 두 개의 ISAR 영상들에 각각 scale invariant feature transform(SIFT)를 적용함으로써 관측각도의 변화에 강인한 산란원(scatterer)들을 추출한다. 추출된 산란원과 각 영상 내 표적의 회전 중심(Rotation Center: RC) 사이의 거리가 같다는 점을 이용하여 비용함수(cost function)를 설정한 후, 전역 탐색 기법(exhaustive search method)과 결합된 particle swarm optimization(PSO)의 최적화를 통해 표적의 RV를 RC 정보 없이 추정한다. 시뮬레이션에서는 시나리오 기반으로 기동하는 표적에 대한 ISAR 영상 형성 후, 제안된 기법을 통해 RC의 정보 없이 RV를 추정함으로써 ISAR 영상의 CRS가 성공적으로 수행됨을 보여준다.

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is adopted to enable effective and smooth communication among different networks. In some specific application, the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are used in IoT to gather peculiar data without the interaction of human. The WSNs are self-organizing in nature, so it mostly prefer multi-hop data forwarding. Thus to achieve better communication, a cross-layer routing strategy is preferred. In the cross-layer routing strategy, the routing processed through three layers such as transport, data link, and physical layer. Even though effective communication achieved via a cross-layer routing strategy, energy is another constraint in WSN assisted IoT. Cluster-based communication is one of the most used strategies for effectively preserving energy in WSN routing. This paper proposes a Bio-inspired cross-layer routing (BiHCLR) protocol to achieve effective and energy preserving routing in WSN assisted IoT. Initially, the deployed sensor nodes are arranged in the form of a grid as per the grid-based routing strategy. Then to enable energy preservation in BiHCLR, the fuzzy logic approach is executed to select the Cluster Head (CH) for every cell of the grid. Then a hybrid bio-inspired algorithm is used to select the routing path. The hybrid algorithm combines moth search and Salp Swarm optimization techniques. The performance of the proposed BiHCLR is evaluated based on the Quality of Service (QoS) analysis in terms of Packet loss, error bit rate, transmission delay, lifetime of network, buffer occupancy and throughput. Then these performances are validated based on comparison with conventional routing strategies like Fuzzy-rule-based Energy Efficient Clustering and Immune-Inspired Routing (FEEC-IIR), Neuro-Fuzzy- Emperor Penguin Optimization (NF-EPO), Fuzzy Reinforcement Learning-based Data Gathering (FRLDG) and Hierarchical Energy Efficient Data gathering (HEED). Ultimately the performance of the proposed BiHCLR outperforms all other conventional techniques.
