Objectives Korea's Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (K-REACH) was enacted for the protection of human health and the environment in 2015. Considering that about 2000 new substances are introduced annually across the globe, the extent of animal testing requirement could be overwhelming unless regulators and companies work proactively to institute and enforce global best practices to replace, reduce or refine animal use. In this review, the way to reduce the animal use for K-REACH is discussed. Methods Background of the enforcement of the K-REACH and its details was reviewed along with the papers and regulatory documents regarding the limitation of animal experiments and its alternatives in order to discuss the regulatory adoption of alternative tests. Results Depending on the tonnage of the chemical used, the data required ranges from acute and other short-term studies for a single exposure route to testing via multiple exposure routes and costly, longer-term studies such as a full two-generation reproducibility toxicity. The European Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals regulation provides for mandatory sharing of vertebrate test data to avoid unnecessary duplication of animal use and test costs, and obligation to revise data requirements and test guidelines "as soon as possible" after relevant, validated replacement, reduction or refinement (3R) methods become available. Furthermore, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development actively accepts alternative animal tests and 3R to chemical toxicity tests. Conclusions Alternative tests which are more ethical and efficient than animal experiments should be widely used to assess the toxicity of chemicals for K-REACH registration. The relevant regulatory agencies will have to make efforts to actively adopt and uptake new alternative tests and 3R to K-REACH.

This paper proposes a framework to automatically align Dental range image captured by depth sensors like the Microsoft Kinect. Aligning dental images by intraoral scanning technology is a difficult problem for applications requiring accurate model of dental-scan datasets with efficiency in computation time. The most important thing in dental scanning system is accuracy of the dental prosthesis. Previous approaches in intraoral scanning uses a Z-buffer ICP algorithm for fast registration, but it is relatively not accurate and it may cause cumulative errors. This paper proposes additional Alignment using the rough result comes after intraoral scanning alignment. It requires that Each Depth Image of the total set shares some overlap with at least one other Depth image. This research implements the automatically additional alignment system that aligns all depth images into Completed model by computing a network of pairwise registrations. The order of the each individual transformation is derived from a global network and AABB box overlap detection methods.

본 논문은 파노라믹 이미지 생성을 위해 수평 이동 정보와 회전 정보가 있는 비디오 영상을 모자이킹 하는 방법을 제안한다. 멜린 변환 후 나타나는 이미지의 이동 정보와 회전 정보를 이용하여 각 이미지들을 접합하기 위한 투영 행렬을 계산한다. 그리고 모자이크 생성 시 나타날 수 있는 첫 이미지와 마지막 이미지의 누적 오차를 줄이고 전체적으로 접합하기 위해 각각 이미지 사이의 접합을 위한 투영행렬을 누적하여 적용함으로써 오차를 줄여 정확한 모자이크를 만들 수 있다. 지금까지 제안된 모자이킹 기법들은 노이즈에 지나치게 민감하거나 중복성 계산에 있어 시간이 지나치게 많이 소모되는 단점이 있었다. 또한 기존의 기법들은 카메라를 삼각대 위에 고정하여 수평 이동시켜 얻어진 영상만을 다루어, 이미지가 회전되었을 경우 정확한 모자이크 결과를 얻을 수 없었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멜린 변환에 기반한 투영행렬을 이용하여 노이즈에 덜 민감하고 이미지의 중복 정보와 이동 정보를 단 시간에 찾아 모자이크하는 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, a new super-resolution algorithm is proposed by using successive frames for generating high-resolution frames with better quality than those generated by other conventional interpolation methods. Generally, each frame used for super-resolution must only have global translation and motions of sub-pixel unit to generate good result. However, the newly proposed MSR algorithm in this paper is exempt from such constraints. The proposed algorithm consists of three main processes; motion estimation for image registration, normalization of motion vectors, and pattern analysis of edges. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than other conventional algorithms.

Image mosaicking is a common and useful technique to visualize a global map by stitching a large number of local images obtained from visual surveys in underwater environments. In particular, visual inspection of underwater structures using underwater robots can be a potential application for image mosaicking. Feature-based pairwise image registration is a commonly employed process in most image mosaicking algorithms to estimate visual odometry information between compared images. However, visual features are not always uniformly distributed on the surface of underwater structures, and thus the performance of image registration can vary significantly, which results in unnecessary computations in image matching for poor-conditioned image pairs. This study proposes a pairwise registrability measure to select informative image pairs and to improve the overall computational efficiency of underwater image mosaicking algorithms. The validity and effectiveness of the image mosaicking algorithm considering the pairwise registrability are demonstrated using an experimental dataset obtained with a full-scale ship in a real sea environment.

Issuance of certification and licensing for toxicologists authorized by the Japanese Society of Thxicology (JST) became effective on July 24, 1997. The certification system consists of examination, eligibility requirements for the applicants, authorization/license by the board of trustees of JST, and the re-certification of previously authorized qualification. In the last 2-3 years, about 30-40% of candidates for the examination have succeeded. The Committee has estimated that the level of the examination would be sufficient to determine qualified toxicologists. This updated status and a detailed explanation are to be presented at the workshop. In global terms, the JST special committee agrees that "harmonization of certification/registration procedure for qualified toxicologists means to ensure/set the minimum requirement for the global authorization of qualified toxicologists". The following items in global authorization are ad-dressed for further discussion: (1) What's the benefit\ulcorner (2) Toxicological safety assessment standards, and (3) the JST position for authorization.orization.

AI 기술이 고도화됨에 따라 국내외에서 AI 로봇에 대한 법적 지위 및 규제 문제, 로봇등록제의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. AI 로봇의 형태 및 활동범위는 더 이상 한 국가내에 놓여진 하드웨어에 머물지 않을 것이므로, AI 로봇에 대한 정의 및 규제는 소프트웨어를 포함시킨 포괄적 개념으로 확장되어야하며, 이들에 대한 정보도 국제적으로 각국 정부가 안전하게 관리하고 공유할 수 있는 형태로 정의되어야한다. 본 연구는 이러한 관점에서 'AI 로봇'을 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 포괄하는 AI 법인이라는 개념으로 확장시키고, (가칭) Juridical AI Chain이라는 허가형 블록체인을 이용해 AI 법인 등록제를 운영하는 방안을 제시한다. 블록체인은 각국 정부기관들의 관리 및 공유가 가능한 분산형 공유 장부이므로, 블록체인 기반 등록제의 운영은 AI 로봇의 상용화가 초래할 범세계적 문제들에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 방안이 될 것이다.

In this paper, we describe an IMT-2000 system architecture, a protocol stack, and basic MAP scenarios(e.g., registration, call delivery) based on the IS-41 and IS-41 and IS-751. This paper focuses on the MAP scenarios to support the IMSI which is defined for the global roaming between GSM and IS-41 Networks through the Family of System approach. This paper also deals with the design of the MAP protocol stack transported over the ATM networks and introduces the software structure of MAP in IMT-2000 MSC.
