This paper analyzes metadata workflow from creation to browsing, and discusses metadata authoring and browsing technology. Unlike usual multimedia authoring, broadcast metadata authoring means metadata editing synchronized with video. In order to make practical application of other systems, the result is in XML or MXF(Material eXchange Format) based on common metadata scheme. The MXF Browser developed with the consideration of broadcast metadata that is time-synchronized with AV content provides not only metadata authoring capability but also advanced content browsing services such as summary playback and highlight browsing based on metadata multi-track.

본 논문에서는 초고해상도(UHD) 비디오 캡처/재생 시스템을 위한 MXF 파일 포맷 기반 콘텐츠 입출력 방법에 대해 논의한다. 초고해상도 비디오의 경우, 기존 고해상도(HD) 대비 4배에서 16배 가량의 데이터를 송수신해야 하기 때문에 고속의 데이터 인터페이스를 필요로 할 뿐만 아니라, 디지털 방송에서 사용하는 MXF 파일 포맷에 기반한 콘텐츠 파일을 제공해야 한다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 MXF 규격에 기반한 외부 에센스 구조를 바탕으로 실시간으로 초고해상도 비디오를 캡처/재생하는 방법을 제시한다. 따라서 제안하는 방식을 적용하여 초고해상도 비디오를 실시간 캡처/재생하는 효율적인 방송 시스템을 구축할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 압축된 비디오에 적용할 경우 더욱 향상된 성능의 시스템을 구축할 수 있게 된다.

In recent years, several researchers have presented the extensive research reports on network optimization problems. In our real life applications, many important network problems are typically formulated as a Maximum flow model (MXF) or a Minimum Cost flow model (MCF). In this paper, we propose a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach used a priority-based chromosome for solving the bicriteria network optimization problem including MXF and MCF models(MXF/MCF).

본 논문은 클라우드 컴퓨팅환경에서 향후 TLS 기반 제작 및 편집의 중요성에 주목하여 UHD 콘텐츠 편집을 지원하는 MXF 구조에 관하여 논하였다. 기술의 발전으로 인해 화면의 해상도가 최소 4K UHD로 높아짐으로써 초고해상도 콘텐츠를 편집하기 위한 기술들이 필요하다. 이를 위해 대용량의 비디오 데이터를 높은 압축률로 부호화할 수 있는 기술이 지원되어야 한다. 본 논문에선 초고해상도로 인한 대용량의 UHD 비디오 제작을 위한 비트스트림을 지원하는 MXF의 에센스 콘테이너를 제안한다.

Statistical analyses were performed to investigate the relative success and accuracy of daily maximum X-ray flux (MXF) predictions, using both multilinear regression and autoregressive time-series prediction methods. As input data for this work, we used 14 solar activity parameters recorded over the prior 2 year period (1989-1990) during the solar maximum of cycle 22. We applied the multilinear regression method to the following three groups: all 14 variables (G1), the 2 so-called 'cause' variables (sunspot complexity and sunspot group area) showing the highest correlations with MXF (G2), and the 2 'effect' variables (previous day MXF and the number of flares stronger than C4 class) showing the highest correlations with MXF (G3). For the advanced three days forecast, we applied the autoregressive timeseries method to the MXF data (GT). We compared the statistical results of these groups for 1991 data, using several statistical measures obtained from a $2{\times}2$ contingency table for forecasted versus observed events. As a result, we found that the statistical results of G1 and G3 are nearly the same each other and the 'effect' variables (G3) are more reliable predictors than the 'cause' variables. It is also found that while the statistical results of GT are a little worse than those of G1 for relatively weak flares, they are comparable to each other for strong flares. In general, all statistical measures show good predictions from all groups, provided that the flares are weaker than about M5 class; stronger flares rapidly become difficult to predict well, which is probably due to statistical inaccuracies arising from their rarity. Our statistical results of all flares except for the X-class flares were confirmed by Yates' $X^2$ statistical significance tests, at the 99% confidence level. Based on our model testing, we recommend a practical strategy for solar X-ray flare predictions.

Background : Fluoroquinolone drugs are an important anti-tuberculous agent for the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. However, many drugs belonging to the fluoroquinolones have different cross resistance to each other. Methods : Sixty-three ofloxacin (OFX) resistant and 10 pan-susceptible M. tuberculosis isolates were selected, and compared for their cross resistance using a proportion method on Lowenstein-Jensen media, containing ofloxacin (OFX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LVX), moxifloxacin (MXF), gatifloxacin (GAT) and sparfloxacin (SPX), at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to $3{\mu}g/ml$. DNA extracted from the isolates was directly sequenced after amplifying from the gyrA and gyrB genes. Results : The 63 OFX resistant M. tuberculosis isolates showed complete cross resistance to CIP, but only 90.5, 44.4, 36.5 and 46.0% to LVX, MXF, GAT, and to SPX, respectively. Fifty-one of the isolates (81.0%) had point mutations in codons 88, 90, 91 and 94 in gyrA, which are known to be correlated with OFX resistance. The Gly88Ala, Ala90Valand Asp94Ala mutations in gyrA showed a tendency to be susceptible to MXF, GAT and SPX. Only 4 isolates had mutations in the gyrB gene, which did not affect the OFX resistance. Conclusion : About 60% of the OFX resistant M. tuberculosis isolates were susceptible to GAT, SPX and MXF. These fluoroquinolones may be useful in the treatment of TB patients showing OFX resistance.

The emergence and spread of Staphylococcus aureus, which is resistant to quinolone antibacterial agents, has made it difficult to treat infectious diseases. Accordingly, this study examined the molecular epidemiological characteristics of quinolone-resistant S. aureus (QRSA) to obtain helpful data for treatment. Mutations in mecA and SCCmec typing, gyrA, and gyrB genes were investigated for QRSA strains isolated from the blood culture specimens at a general hospital in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The ciprofloxacin-resistant strains in SCCmec typing were II (44 strains, 73%), IVa (five strains, 8%), III, and V (one strain, 2%); the non-typeable strains (11 strains, 18%), and levofloxacin (LVX) and moxifloxacin (MXF) strains were II (44 strains, 73%), IVa (five strains, 8%), III, and V (one strain, 2%); the non-typeable strains were 10 (17%). In both gyrA and gyrB regions, there were 58 mutations, or 96.7%. In LVX, there were 56 mutations or 93.3%, and in MXF, there were 57 mutations or 95%. Twelve mutations, six mutations each in gyrA and gyrB, were identified for the QRSA strain. The resistance rate for the quinolone antibiotics of QRSA studied was approximately 98%, and 12 mutations, six each in gyrA and gyrB, were identified in the QRSA strain. Therefore, the rational use of antibiotics needs to be improved.
