다주교각의 횡방향 철근비에 따른 연성도 및 소성힌지 영역을 단주교각과 비교하여 평가하였다. 횡방향 철근비가 높을수록 연성도 증가는 뚜렷하며 다주교각의 경우 교축직각방향 거동시에는 단주보다 더 큰 연성도 증가를 보였다. 또한 횡철근 배근을 위한 소성힌지영역을 산정하였으며 목표연성도를 크게 할수록 횡구속 철근비의 증가와 함께 횡구속 되어야 하는 소성힌지영역 또한 높아져야함을 밝혔다. 다주교각의 방향별 거동에 따른 소성힌지 영역에는 차이가 있으며, 다주교각의 교축직각방향 거동시에는 모멘트 분포의 차이에 의해 보다 낮은 구간에서 소성변형을 보인다.

Broadcasting services such as multi/single channel HDTV and 3DTV/2DTV use a multi-channel encoder that changes the bitrate and composition of the video service depending on the time. However, this type of multi-channel encoder could cause a longer latency owing to the variable bitrate and relatively bigger size of the buffers, which results in the same delay as in 3DTV even for a conventional DTV service. On the other hand, systems built based on separate encoders, each of which is optimized for the target service, might not have such latency problems. Nevertheless, there might be a distortion problem in the image and sound at the time of a switchover between two encoders with different output bitrates and group of picture structures. This paper proposes a system that can realize a seamless video service conversion using two different video encoders optimized for each video service. An overall functional description of the video service change control server, which is a main control block for the proposed system, is also provided. The experiment results confirm the seamless switchover and reduced broadcasting latency of DTV services compared with a broadcasting system composed of a multi-channel encoder system.

Preliminary results are reported on ship detection using coherence images computed from cross-correlating images of multi-look-processed dual-polarization data (HH and HV) of ENVISAT ASAR. The traditional techniques of ship detection by radars such as CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) rely on the amplitude data, and therefore the detection tends to become difficult when the amplitudes of ships images are at similar level as the mean amplitude of surrounding sea clutter. The proposed method utilizes the property that the multi-look images of ships are correlated with each other. Because the inter-look images of sea surface are covered by uncorrelated speckle, cross-correlation of multi-look images yields the different degrees of coherence between the images and water. In this paper, the polarimetric information of ships, land and intertidal zone are first compared based on the cross-correlation between HH and HV images, In the next step, we examine the technique when the dual-polarization data are split into two multi-look images, It was shown that the inter-look cross-correlation method could be applicable in the performance improvement of small ship detection and the land masking, It was also found that a simple combination of coherence images from each co-polarised (HH) inter-look and cross-polarised (HV) inter-look data can provide much higher target-detection possibilities.

Forage crop management is severely challenged by global warming-induced climate changes representing diverse a/biotic stresses. Thus, screening of valuable genetic resources would be applied to develop stress-tolerant forage crops. We isolated two NAC (NAM, ATAF1, ATAF2, CUC2) transcription factors (ANAC032 and ANAC083) transcriptionally activated by multi-abiotic stresses (salt, drought, and cold stresses) from Arabidopsis by microarray analysis. The NAC family is one of the most prominent transcription factor families in plants and functions in various biological processes. The enhanced expressions of two ANACs by multi-abiotic stresses were validated by quantitative RT-PCR analysis. We also confirmed that both ANACs were localized in the nucleus, suggesting that ANAC032 and ANAC083 act as transcription factors to regulate the expression of downstream target genes. Promoter activities of ANAC032 and ANAC083 through histochemical GUS staining again suggested that various abiotic stresses strongly drive both ANACs expressions. Our data suggest that ANAC032 and ANAC083 would be valuable genetic candidates for breeding multi-abiotic stress-tolerant forage crops via the genetic modification of a single gene.

This paper proposes a multi-core cooperative computing structure considering the heterogeneous features of automotive embedded on-chip software. The automotive embedded software has the heterogeneous execution flow properties for various hardware drives. Software developed with a homogeneous execution flow without considering these properties will incur inefficient overhead due to core latency and load. The proposed method was evaluated on an target board on which a automotive MCU (micro-controller unit) with built-in multi-cores was mounted. We demonstrate an overhead reduction when software including common embedded system tasks, such as ADC sampling, DSP operations, and communication interfaces, are implemented in a heterogeneous execution flow. When we used the proposed method, embedded software was able to take advantage of idle states that occur between heterogeneous tasks to make efficient use of the resources on the board. As a result of the experiments, the power consumption of the board decreased by 42.11% compared to the baseline. Furthermore, the time required to process the same amount of sampling data was reduced by 27.09%. Experimental results validate the efficiency of the proposed multi-core cooperative heterogeneous embedded software execution technique.

A versatile micro-robotic platform for micro/nano scale assembly has been demanded in a variety of application areas such as micro-biology and nanotechnology. In the near future, a flexible and compact platform could be effectively used in a scanning electron microscope chamber. We are developing a platform that consists of miniature mobile robots and a compact positioning stage with multi degree-of-freedom. This paper presents the design and the implementation of a low-cost and compact multi degree of freedom position sensor that is capable of measuring absolute translational and rotational displacement. The proposed sensor is implemented by using a CMOS type image sensor and a target with specific hole patterns. Experimental design based on statistics was applied to finding optimal design of the target. Efficient algorithms for image processing and absolute position decoding are discussed. Simple calibration to eliminate the influence of inaccuracy of the fabricated target on the measuring performance also presented. The developed sensor was characterized by using a laser interferometer. It can be concluded that the sensor system has submicron resolution and accuracy of ${\pm}4{\mu}m$ over full travel range. The proposed vision-based sensor is cost-effective and used as a compact feedback device for implementation of a micro robotic platform.

The aim of this study is to calculate the JO-IMRT dose distributions based on the AAPM TG-119 using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and Prowess Panther treatment planning system (TPS) (Panther, Prowess Inc., Chico, CA). JO-IMRT dose distributions of AAPM TG-119 were calculated by the TPS and were recalculated by MC simulation. The DVHs and 3D gamma index using global methods implemented in the PTW-VeriSoft with 3%/3 mm were used for evaluation. JO-IMRT dose distributions calculated by TPS and MC were matched the TG-119 goals. The gamma index passing rates with 3%/3 mm were 98.7% for multi-target, 96.0% for mock prostate, 95.4% for mock head-and-neck, and 96.6% for C-shape. The dose in the planning target volumes (PTV) for TPS was larger than that for the MC. The relative dose differences in D99 between TPS and MC for multi-target are 1.52%, 0.17% and 1.40%, for the center, superior and inferior, respectively. The differences in D95 are 0.16% for C-shape; and 0.06% for mock prostate. Mock head-and-neck difference is 0.40% in D99. In contrast, the organ curve for TPS tended to be smaller than MC values. JO-IMRT dose distributions for the AAPM TG-119 calculated by the TPS agreed well with the MC.

A method for simultaneous detection of fipronil (F) and its metabolites fipronil desulfinyl (FD), fipronil sulfide (FS), fipronil sulfone (FSO) in chicken eggs was applied and validated. It includes single-step, cheap, effective, rugged, safe-based method (SinChERS) for sample preparation and ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for chemical analysis. Results suggested that formic acid enhanced the recovery of 4 target residues and 1% supplementation to acetonitrile gained higher recoveries than that of 5%. SinChERS integrated extraction and clean-up steps into one, with shorter time (1.5 h) to operate and higher recoveries (97%-100%) than HLB, Envi-Carb-NH2 and quik-easy-cheap-effective-rugged-safe method (QuEChERS), and it consumed the smallest volume of extracting solvent (10 mL) as QuEChERS. Quantitative analyses using external standard method suggested the linear ranges of 4 target compounds were 1-20 ㎍/L with R2 >0.9947. The limit of detection (S/N>3) and quantification (S/N>10) were 0.3 ㎍/kg and 1 ㎍/kg. Recoveries ranged from 89.0% to 104.4%, and the relative standard deviations (n=6) at 1, 10, and 20 ㎍/kg were lower than 6.03%. Thirty batches of domestic eggs (500 g each) were detected by the established SinChERS-based UHPLC-MS/MS and no target residues were detected in all samples. The method developed in this study is a rapid, sensitive, accurate and economic way for multi-residue analysis of fipronil and its metabolites in eggs.

표적 우선순위 할당은 다수의 표적이 존재하는 전술 환경에서 다기능 레이다(Multifunction Radar: MFR)가 중요한 표적을 추적하고 레이다 자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 필요한 기능이다. 본 논문에서는 레이다에서 수집한 정보로부터 표적에 대한 우선순위를 산출하는 인공 신경망(Artificial Neural Network: ANN) 모델을 구현한다. 더 나아가, 기존의 경사 하강법(gradient descent) 기반 역전파(backpropagation) 알고리즘을 발전시켜 표적 우선순위 할당에 더욱 적합한 최급 강하법(steepest descent) 기반 신경망 학습 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션에서는 훈련 데이터와 신경망의 결과값 사이의 오차와 특정 테스트 시나리오에서 할당된 우선순위의 합리성을 분석하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인한다.

최근 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상의 거리 및 도플러 해상도가 높아짐에 따라 표적의 탐지 정확도는 향상되고 있지만 처리할 데이터 용량이 급증하고 있다. 기존의 단일 셀 기반 CFAR 검출기는 전체 영상 내에서 모든 거리 셀 데이터를 검사하여야 하므로 CFAR 검출기의 속도 성능 저하를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 다중셀 기반 CFAR 처리 방법을 2단으로 개선하여 1단계에서는 다중 셀 평균 기반 CFAR 검출을 이용하여 예상 표적 지역을 검출하고, 2단계에서는 예상 표적 지역에 대해서만 단일 셀 기반 CFAR 검출을 수행함으로써 처리 시간을 줄이고 표적의 탐지 성능을 획기적으로 향상시켰다. 제안된 기법에 대한 성능은 실제 SAR 영상을 통하여 기존의 단일 셀 기반 방식과 다중 셀 평균 기반 검출 방식을 비교 분석하였다.
