For complex diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, it is believed that model-free methods might work better because they do not require a precise knowledge of the mode of inheritance controlling the disease trait. This is done by estimating the sharing probabilities that a pair shares zero, one, or two alleles identical by descent(IBD) and has some specific branches of test procedure, i.e., the mean test, the proportion test, and the minmax test. Among them, the minmax test is known to be more robust than others regardless of genetic mode of inheritance in current use. In this study, we compared the power of the methods which are based on minmax test and considering weighting schemes for sib-pairs to analyze sibship data. In simulation result, we found that the method based on Suarez' was more powerful than any others without respect to marker allele frequency, genetic mode of inheritance, sibship size. Also, The power of both Suarez- and Hodge-based methods was higher when marker allele frequency and sibship size were higher, and this result was remarkable in dominant mode of inheritance especially.

A level set based topological shape optimization method for nonlinear structure considering hyper-elastic problems is developed. To relieve significant convergence difficulty in topology optimization of nonlinear structure due to inaccurate tangent stiffness which comes from material penalization of whole domain, explicit boundary for exact tangent stiffness is used by taking advantage of level set function for arbitrary boundary shape. For given arbitrary boundary which is represented by level set function, a Delaunay triangulation scheme is used for current structure discretization instead of using implicit fixed grid. The required velocity field in the actual domain to update the level set equation is determined from the descent direction of Lagrangian derived from optimality conditions. The velocity field outside the actual domain is determined through a velocity extension scheme based on the method suggested by Adalsteinsson and Sethian(1999). The topological derivatives are incorporated into the level set based framework to enable to create holes whenever and wherever necessary during the optimization.

The Korean Medicine in the middle period of the Chosun Dynasty, with its clear independence, has made an excellent display of originality and superiority in the world medicine. By pinpointing its merits, classifying its lineal descent, and examining its relation with present Korean Medicine we can draw the following conclusions. First, the study on the history of Korean Medicine should, in terms of time, grasp the generational stream and, in terms of space, examine the relation with medicines of neighbouring countries, with both an inner and outer way of observing. Secondly, it is but a manifestation of the colonial view of history to classify the 460 years from Tae-jo(太祖) to Cheol-jong(哲宗) as Mordern Period of Korean Medicine. Therefore, the 250-year period between the mid-16th century of Myung-jong(明宗) to the late-18th century of later Jeong-jo(正祖), which saw a pivotal development of the national medicine as a practical medicine based on experiences, should be established as the period of Korean Medicine in the mid-Chosun dynasty. It is required from both nationalistic view of history and history as a positive science. Thirdly, Korean Medicine in the mid-Chosun period was developed with an emphasis on an independent development and creative succession of the national medicine, which was succeeded to the late-Chosun period. Fourthly, medical thought in the mid-Chosun period was much influenced by, and based on the practicality of, Shil-hak(or practical science : 實學) as was the current of the times. Fifthly, though medicine in the mid-Chosun period was generally developed, the recipes for the measles, epidemic and smallpox were especially developed owing to rage of epidemics, and the development of the acupunture as a military medicine was the most c lear because of the two major wars against the Japanese and Chinese, respectively in 1592 and 1636. Sixthly, Whang doh-yeon(黃道淵)'s Bangyak-happyeon(方藥合編), Lee je-mah(李濟馬)'s Tongui-susebawon(東醫壽世保元) and Lee kyu-jun(李奎晙)'s Uigam-jungma(醫鑑重磨) are representative medical books, in the late-Chosun period, which creatively succeeded national medicine. Seventhly, the lineage of national medicine flows from Hyangyak-jipseongbang(鄕樂集成方) Uibangryuchui(醫方類聚) Gugeupbang(救急方) to Uirimchualyo(醫林撮要) Tonguibogam(東醫寶鑑) Uimunbogam(醫門寶鑑) Jejung-sinpyeon(濟衆新編) and to Bangyak-happyeon(方藥合編) Tongui-susebawon(東醫壽世保元) Uigam-jungma(醫鑑重磨). These books are representative medical books in the early middle and late Chosun period respectively. On the basis of the above facts, it is clear that the orthodoxy of national medicine is in the direction of a creative succession and that is the best way to keep the spirit of Korean medicine today.

We performed a magnetotelluric (MT) survey to delineate the geological structures below the depth of 20 km in the Gyeongju area where an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred in September 2016. The measured MT data were severely distorted by electrical noise caused by subways, power lines, factories, houses, and farmlands, and by vehicle noise from passing trains and large trucks. Using machine-learning methods, we classified the MT time series data obtained near the railway and highway into two groups according to the inclusion of traffic noise. We applied three schemes, stochastic gradient descent, support vector machine, and random forest, to the time series data for the highspeed train noise. We formulated three datasets, Hx, Hy, and Hx & Hy, for the time series data of the large truck noise and applied the random forest method to each dataset. To evaluate the effect of removing the traffic noise, we compared the time series data, amplitude spectra, and apparent resistivity curves before and after removing the traffic noise from the time series data. We also examined the frequency range affected by traffic noise and whether artifact noise occurred during the traffic noise removal process as a result of the residual difference.

The prevalence of BRCA1 gene mutations in breast cancer differs between diverse ethnic groups. Relatively little information is known about patterns of BRCA1 mutations in early-onset breast cancer in women of Uighur or Han descent, the major ethnic populations of the Xinjiang region in China. The aim of this study was to identify BRCA1 mutations in Uighur and Han patients with early-onset (age <35 years), and sporadic breast cancer for genetic predisposition to breast cancer. For detection of BRCA1 mutations, we used a polymerase chain reaction single-stranded conformation polymorphism approach, followed by direct DNA sequencing in 22 Uighur and 13 Han women with early-onset sporadic breast cancer, and 32 women with benign breast diseases. The prevalence of BRCA1 mutations in this population was 22.9% (8/35) among early-onset sporadic breast cancer cases. Of these, 31.8% (7/22) of Uighur patients and 7.69% (1/13) of Han patients were found to have BRCA1 mutations. In 7 Uighur patients with BRCA1 mutations, there were 11 unique sequence alterations in the BRCA1 gene, including 4 clearly disease-associated mutations on exon 11 and 3 variants of uncertain clinical significance on exon 11, meanwhile 4 neutral variants on intron 20 or 2. None of the 11 BRCA1 mutations identified have been previously reported in the Breast Cancer Information Core database. These findings reflect the prevalence of BRCA1 mutations in Uighur women with early-onset and sporadic breast cancer, which will allow for provision of appropriate genetic counseling and treatment for Uighur patients in the Xinjiang region.

In general, optimization problems are difficult to solve simply. The reason is that the given problem is solved as soon as it is simple, but the more complex it is, the very large number of cases. This study is about the optimization of AI neural network. What we are dealing with here is the relief method for constructing AI network. The main topics deal with non-deterministic issues such as the stability and unstability of the overall network state, cost down and energy down. For this one, we discuss associative memory models, that is, a method in which local minimum memory information does not select fake information. The simulated annealing, this is a method of estimating the direction with the lowest possible value and combining it with the previous one to modify it to a lower value. And nonlinear planning problems, it is a method of checking and correcting the input / output by applying the appropriate gradient descent method to minimize the very large number of objective functions. This research suggests a useful approach to relief method as a theoretical approach to solving optimization problems. Therefore, this research will be a good proposal to apply efficiently when constructing a new AI neural network.

구글에서 공개한 Tensorflow를 이용한 여러 학문 분야의 연구가 활발하다. 농업 시설환경을 대상으로 한 빅데이터의 축적이 증가함과 아울러 실효적인 정보 획득을 위한 각종 데이터 분석 및 마이닝 기법에 대한 연구 또한 활발한 상황이다. 한편, 타 분야의 성공적인 심층학습기법 응용사례에 비하여 농업 분야에서의 응용은 초기 성장 단계라 할 수 있다. 이는 농업 현장에서 취득한 정보의 난해성 및 완성도 높은 생육/환경 모델링 정보의 부재로 실효적인 전과정 처리 기술 도출에 소요되는 시간, 비용, 연구 환경이 상대적으로 부족하기 때문일 것이다. 특히, 센서 기반 데이터 취득 기술 증가에 따라 비약적으로 방대해진 수집 데이터를 시간 복잡도가 높은 심층 학습 모델링 연산에 기계적으로 단순 적용할 경우 시간 효율적인 측면에서 성공적인 결과 도출에 애로가 있을 것이다. 매우 높은 시간 복잡도를 해결하기 위하여 제시된 하드웨어 가속 기능의 경우 일부 개발환경에 국한이 되어 있다. 일례로, 구글의 Tensorflow는 오픈소스 기반 병렬 클러스터링 기술인 MPICH를 지원하는 알고리즘을 공개하지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 심층학습 기법 연구에 있어서, 예상 가능한 다양한 자원을 활용하여 최대한 연산의 결과를 빨리 도출할 수 있는 하드웨어적인 접근 방법을 모색하였다. 호스트에서 수행하는 일방적인 학습 알고리즘과 달리 이기종간 심층 학습이 가능하기 위해선 우선, NFS(Network File System)를 이용하여 데이터 계층이 상호 연결이 되어야 한다. 이를 위해서 고속 네트워크를 기반으로 한 NFS의 이용이 필수적이다. 둘째로 제한된 자원의 한계를 극복하기 위한 메모 공유 라이브러리가 필요하다. 셋째로 이기종간 프로세서에 최적화된 병렬 처리용 컴파일러를 이용해야 한다. 가장 중요한 부분은 이기종간의 처리 능력에 따른 작업을 고르게 분배할 수 있는 작업 스케쥴링이 수행되어야 하며, 이는 처리하고자 하는 데이터의 형태에 따라 매우 가변적이므로 해당 데이터 도메인에 대한 엄밀한 사전 벤치마킹이 수행되어야 한다. 이러한 요구조건을 대부분 충족하는 Open-CL ver1.2(https://www.khronos.org/opencl/)를 이용하였다. 최신의 Open-CL 버전은 2.2이나 본 연구를 위하여 준비한 4가지 이기종 시스템에서 모두 공통적으로 지원하는 버전은 1.2이다. 실험적으로 선정된 4가지 이기종 시스템은 1) Windows 10 Pro, 2) Linux-Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS-x86_64, 3) MAC OS X 10.11 4) Linux-Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS-ARM Cortext-A15 이다. 비교 분석을 위하여 NVIDIA 사에서 제공하는 Pascal Titan X 2식을 SLI로 구성한 시스템을 준비하였다. 개별 시스템에서 별도로 컴파일 된 바이너리의 이름을 통일하고, 개별 시스템의 코어수를 동일하게 균등 배분하여 100 Hz의 데이터로 입력이 되는 온도 정보와 조도 정보를 입력으로 하고 이를 습도정보에 Linear Gradient Descent Optimizer를 이용하여 Epoch 10,000회의 학습을 수행하였다. 4종의 이기종에서 총 32개의 코어를 이용한 학습에서 17초 내외로 연산 수행을 마쳤으나, 비교 시스템에서는 11초 내외로 연산을 마치는 결과가 나왔다. 기보유 하드웨어의 적절한 활용이 가능한 심층학습 기법에 대한 연구를 지속할 것이다

Object : The goals of this research were to make Performance Enhanced Model(PE) taken the largest performance index (PI) through artificial variation of principle components calculated by principle component analysis for trial data, and to verify the effect through comparing kinematic factors between trial data (Raw) and PE. Method : Ten subjects (5 men, 5 women) were recruited and 80% of their maximal record was considered. The PI is a regression equation. In order to develop PE, we extracted Principle components from trial position data (by Principle Components Analysis (PCA)). Before PCA, we made 17 position data to 3 row matrix according to components. We calculated 3 eigen value (principle components) through PCA. And except Y (medial-lateral direction) component (because motion of Y component is small), principle components of X (anterior-posterior direction) and Z (vertical direction) components were changed as following. Changed principle components = principle components + principle components ${\times}$ k. After changing the each principle component, we reconstructed position data using the changed principle components and calculated performance index (PI). A Paired t-test was used to compare Raw data and Performance Enhanced Model data. The level of statistical significance was set at $p{\leq}0.05$. Result : The PI was significantly increased about 12.9kg at PE ($101.92{\pm}6.25$) when compared to the Raw data ($91.29{\pm}7.10$). It means that performance can be increased by optimizing 3D positions. The difference of kinematic factors as follows : the movement distance of the bar from start to lock out was significantly larger (about 1cm) for PE, the width of anterior-posterior bar position in full phase was significantly wider (about 1.3cm) for PE and the horizontal displacement toward the weightlifter after beginning of descent from maximal height was significantly greater (about 0.4cm) for PE. Additionally, the minimum knee angle in the 2-pull phase was significantly smaller (approximately 2.7cm) for the PE compared to that of the Raw. PE was decided at proximal position from the Raw (origin point (0,0)) of PC variation). Conclusion : PI was decided at proximal position from the Raw (origin point (0,0)) of PC variation). This means that Performance Enhanced Model was decided by similar motion to the Raw without a great change. Therefore, weightlifters could be accept Performance Enhanced Model easily, comfortably and without large stress. The Performance Enhance Model can provide training direction for athletes to improve their weightlifting records.

The epidemics of rice blast which occurred in south parts of Korea during the period from 1999 to 2001 and damaged several high quality rice cultivars developed using "Milyang 95" and/or "Milyang 96" as a parent. Genetic diversity of 23 rice cultivars including "Milyang 95" and it's relatives was assessed using 54 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers reported to be linked to major blast resistance genes. Fifty-four SSR markers representing fifty-seven loci in the rice genome detected polymorphism among the 23 cultivars and revealed a total of 170 alleles with an average of 3.0 alleles per primer, The number of amplified bands ranged from 1 to 7. Several SSR markers including RM249, RM206 and OSR20 were informative for assessing the genetic diversity of relatively closed japonica rice cultivars. The 23 cultivars were classified into four groups by cluster analysis based on Nei's genetic distances, and the cultivars developed from same parents showed a tendency to cluster together that is consistant with genealogical information. High quality rice cultivars, Daesanbyeo, Donganbyeo, and Milyang 95 belonged to the same cluster, At the loci, RM254 and OSR32, all of the cultivars derived from the crosses using "Milyang 95" shared same alleles, suggesting that these japonica cultivars might carry alleles that are identical by descent. Evaluation of 23 rice cultivars against blast needs to be confirmed regarding the relationship between genotype and blast resistance.p between genotype and blast resistance.

Linear regression method, proposed by Haseman and Elston(1972), for detecting linkage to a quantitative trait of sib pairs is a linkage testing method for a single locus and a single trait. However, multivariate methods for detecting linkage are needed, when information from each of several traits that are affected by the same major gene are available on each individual. Amos et al. (1990) extended the regression method of Haseman and Elston(1972) to incorporate observations of two or more traits by estimating the principal component linear function that results in the strongest correlation between the squared pair differences in the trait measurements and identity by descent at a marker locus. But, it is impossible to control the probability of type I errors with this method at present, since the exact distribution of the statistic that they use is yet unknown. In this paper, we propose a multivariate nonparametric trend test for detecting linkage to multiple traits. We compared with a simulation study the efficiencies of multivariate nonparametric trend test with those of the method developed by Amos et al. (1990) for quantitative traits data. For multivariate nonparametric trend test, the results of the simulation study reveal that the Type I error rates are close to the predetermined significance levels, and have in general high powers.
