This paper proposes a robust detection method for ship wake search using two wake sensors. A long trailing wake in the rear of a surface ship is generated along the track of surface ships. In this paper, we assume that the nearer the surface ship, the stronger wake strength is and a two-sensor based wake homing torpedo can sense for the wake strength. On this assumption we propose a simple wake detection and search method using information of wake strength. Experimental results using monte-carlo simulation demonstrate that the proposed method yields better performance in search time than previous method, which uses a single sensor. Our method is shown faster by about 45 seconds than previous method to achieve the same performance. Also, it can improve the detection performance of torpedo in the case of short wake length.

The efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) on myocardial infarction is limited due to poor survival and engraftment. Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is a prerequisite for its survival and homing. ASCs expressed insufficient integrin 𝛼₄, limiting their homing capacity. This study aims to characterize integrin 𝛼₄⁺ ASC subpopulation and investigate their therapeutic efficacy in myocardial infarction. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting to harvest integrin 𝛼₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation, which were characterized in vitro and transplanted into myocardial infarction model. Positron emission tomography imaging were performed to measure infarction size. Cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate heart contractile function. Compared with the unfractionated ASCs, integrin 𝛼₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation secreted a higher level of angiogenic growth factors, migrated more rapidly, and exhibited a stronger anti-apoptotic capacity. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 was obviously up-regulated at 3 days after myocardial infarction, which interacted with integrin α₄ receptor on the surface of ASCs to enhance the survival and adhesion. Thus, we implanted unfractionated ASCs or integrin α₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation into the 3-day infarcted myocardium. Integrin α₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation exhibited more robust engraftment into the infarcted myocardium. Integrin α₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation more effectively decreased infarct size and strengthen cardiac function recovery than did the unfractionated ASCs. Integrin α₄⁺ ASCs subpopulation is superior to unfractionated ASCs in ameliorating ischemic myocardial damage in animal model. Mechanistically, their more robust engraftment into the infarct area, higher migratory capacity and their increased release of paracrine factors contribute to enhanced tissue repair.

수동 시험은 기존의 프로토콜 검증 방법과는 달리 제품이 실제 운용되는 환경에서 입출력의 관찰만을 가지고 제품의 오류를 검출하는 시험이다. 본 논문은 EFSM(Extended Finite State Machine) 모델을 이용하여 homing 기법을 사용하는 수동시험 기법을 제안하고 이를 검증하기 위하여 제안된 수동 시험 기법을 사용하는 OSPF 프로토콜의 오류 검출기를 개발하였다. 개발된 오류 검출기는 Zebra[6]와 시스코 라우터로 구성된 소규모 네트워크에서 Zebra를 이용해 발생시킨 오류 OSPF 패킷을 잘 검출해내었다.

A practical range estimator based on the robust Kalman filter is proposed to solve the range estimation problem for surface to air missile(SAM) homing guidance. Apart from the previous works based on the extended Kalman filter(EKF) with bearing only measurement, the proposed scheme makes use of line-of-sight(LOS) rate to ensure the fast convergency at long-range. In this reason, the robust Kalman filter is considered to deal with LOS rate measurement error. The recursive linear structure of proposed filter is easy to implement and make it possible to reduce computational burdens. Moreover, it shows good estimation performance without specific guidance law such as oscillation proportional navigation guidance(OPNG).

A practical recursive WLS (weighted least squares) algorithm is proposed to estimate relative range using LOS (line-of-sight) information for ASM (anti-ship missile) application. Apart from the previous approaches based on the EKF (extended Kalman filter), to ensure good convergence properties in long range engagement situations, the proposed scheme utilizes LOS rate measurements instead of conventionally used LOS angle measurements. The estimation error property for the proposed filter is investigated and a simple error compensator is devised to enhance its estimation error performances. Simulation results indicate that the proposed filter produces very accurate range estimates with extremely small computations.

Transporting a large table using multiple robotic agents requires at least two group behaviors of homing and herding which are to bo coordinated in a proper sequence. Existing GP methods for multi-agent learning are not practical enough to find an optimal solution in this domain. To evolve this kind of complex cooperative behavior we use a novel method called fitness switching. This method maintains a pool of basis fitness functions each of which corresponds to a primitive group behavior. The basis functions are then progressively combined into more complex fitness functions to co-evolve more complex behavior. The performance of the presented method is compared with that of two conventional methods. Experimental results show that coevolutionary fitness switching provides an effective mechanism for evolving complex emergent behavior which may not be solved by simple genetic programming.

This paper deals with the problem of precise impact angle control of an actual homing missile guided by biased proportional navigation (BPN). To do this, the BPN guidance loop including dynamic lag is modeled as the confluent hyper-geometric differential equation and its analytic solution is derived. Based on the solution, a systematic way to determine the bias constant is newly devised. Different from the existing BPN solution obtained by ignoring the dynamic lag, the proposed one can exactly describe the behavior missile before target interception. hence it is drastically improved the angle constrained terminal guidance performance.

현재 인터넷은 IPv4주소 고갈로 인해 종래의 클래스(class)별 주소의 분배와 사용을 지양하고 클래스 없는 CIDR(Classless InterDomain Routing)〔1〕방식을 채택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 라우터의 개발 및 성능에 영향을 미치는 라우팅 엔트리의 분포와 특성을 다음의 세가지 관점에서 분석하였다. 그리고 분석에 사용된 데이터는 백본용 라우터의 라우팅 테이블이다. 첫째, 현재 인터넷에서 CIDR 방식에 따른 서브넷팅(Subnetting)과 슈퍼넷팅(Supernetting)〔2〕〔3〕정도를 분석하였으며 둘째, 현재 포워딩 테이블(Forwarding Table)내의 불필요한 포워딩 엔트리(Forwarding Entry)들이 차지하는 구성비를 조사하였다. 마지막으로는 멀티홈밍(Multi-homing)이 포워딩 테이블의 크기에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 조사에 의하면 MAE-East와 MAE-West〔4〕와 같은 백본(Backbon) 라우터의 경우에 A클래스는 8에서 26비트까지, B클래스는 14비트에서 27비트까지 그리고 C클래스는 17비트에서32비트까지 서브넷팅과 슈퍼넷팅이 되어있다. 또한 불필요한 포워딩 엔트리는 전체 엔트리의약 1%를 차지하고 있으며, 멀티홈밍 엔트리는 약 5%를 차지하는 것으로 확인되었다.

In Korea the population of breeding house swallow is continuously decreasing. In this regard this study was conducted to find out the overall population trend during 2001-2005. The areas of urban and rural sites were separated to estimate population. Also the sites in Yangpyung areas were chosen to compare population density between two sites during Mar-Aug, 2006. The house swallow had two breeding periods and I tried to correlated amount of days of incubation and number of eggs in the nest. After egg hatching the homing behavior also was estimated assuming lack of foods takes longer to bring foods back to the nest. This study signified that a long term study should be conducted for population change and spring arrival time due to climate change in Korea.

유비쿼터스 네트워크환경에서 멀티호밍 기술은 무선 단말이 두 개 이상의 경로를 통해 인터넷에 연결 될 수 있는 기술로써 보다 효율적인 이동성 지원, 다중 경로를 이용한 신뢰성 보장 그리고 사용자를 위한 다양한 QoS(Quality of Service)를 제공할 수 있는 기술이다. 하지만 현재 IP 계층에서의 멀티호밍 기술은 멀티호밍의 필요성과 유용성에대한 정의 단계이며 이 기술을 지원하는 적합한 메커니즘이 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 IP 계층에서의 멀티호밍을 지원하기 위하여 신호의 세기, 데이터 전송률, 대역폭 사용률 그리고 트래픽의 특성과 같은 네트워크의 다양한 요소들을 분석하고 그에 따른 최적의 경로를 설정 할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제안하였다.
