The Fourier-Mellin transform is the theoretical basis for the translation, rotation, and scale invariance of an image. However, its implementation requires a log-polar map of the original image, which requires logarithmic sampling of a radial variable in that image. This means that the mapping process is accompanied by considerable loss of data. To solve this problem, we propose a dual log-polar map that uses both a forward image map and a reverse image map simultaneously. Data loss due to the forward map sub-sampling can be offset by the reverse map. This is the first step in creating an invertible log-polar map. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

We have anlayzed the polar maps of dipyridamole stress/rest $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI SPECT and compared the quantitated perfusion defects of dipyridamole stress polar map and the findings of coronary angiography in 56 pateints with coronary artery diseases. We performed the same day dipyridamole stress-rest myocardial SPECT, reconstructed the polar maps according to Cedars-Sinai method and quantitated perfusion detects of total myocardium and the territory of each artery, comparing the polar maps of patients with normal files. Stenosis more than 50 percent was considered significant and myocardial ischemic score was calculated as summed score of percents of main coronary arteries. Positive concordance of myocardial SPECT with coronary angiography were 82.6% with left anterior descending artery (LAD), 85.7% with left circumflex artery (LCx) and 78.6% with right coronary artery (RCA). Perfusion defect of SPECT polar map and the stenosis of coronary artery showed the contingency phi of 0.55 (p<0.0001) with total atreries, 0.38 (p = 0.016) with LAD, 0.50 (p<0.0001) with LCx and 0.40 (p = 0.007) with RCA. Dipyridamole stress percent defect of polar map was correlated with myocardial ischemic score with Spearman's rho of 0.47 (p = 0.001) in total arteries, 0.48 (p=0.001) in LAD, 0.56 (p < 0.001) in LCx and 0.38 (p=0.002) in RCA. These findings revealed that defect of the dipyridamole stress myocardial $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI SPECT and the percent extent of this defect were related with significant artery stenosis of individual arteries and the degree of stenosis. We thought that we could use the defects in the polar map of dipyridamole stress $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI SPECT for the quantification of myocardiasl perfusion decrease.

The vector field histogram(VFH) uses a two-dimensional Cartesian histogram grid as a world model. The VFH method subsequently employs a two-stage data-reduction process in order to compute the desired control commands for the vehicle. In the first stage the histogram grid is reduced to a one dimensional polar histogram that is constructed around the robot's momentary location. Each sector in the polar histogram contains a value representing the polar obstacle density in that direction. In the second stage, the algorithm selects the most suitable sector from among all polar histogram sectors with a low polar obstacle density, and the steering of the robot is aligned with that direction. We applied this algorithm to our four-legged robot.

An attempt to improve the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of MAP (methyl (2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminopropanoate) by modifying the substituents on the amino group of MAP is described. Several MAP analogues have been prepared using optically active amino acids alanine, phenylalanine and serine, and their SHG efficiencies measured. None of the MAP analogues exhibited SHG efficiencies as high as that of MAP. X-ray crystal structures of three MAP analogues have been determined. In the crystal structures of two of them, which were the derivatives of phenylalanine, two crystallographically-independent molecules existing in the asymmetric unit are aligned almost antiparallel. These structures are consistent with the very low SHG efficiencies of these compounds. On the other hand, the crystal structure of a serine derivative reveals substantial alignment of the dinitroaniline chromophore along the polar axis. However, the angle of 86.2° between the molecular charge tranfer axis and the polar axis of the crystal is still far away from the optimum value of 54.74° for the phase-matchable SHG. The structure is consistent with the SHG efficiency of this compound which is much higher than those of the phenylalanine derivatives but still lower than that of MAP. This study demonstrates the importance of the orientation of molecules in the crystal lattice in determining secod-order nonlinear optical properties of crystalline materials.

We have analyzed the content of the Korean stone star chart. Ch'on-Sang-Yul-Cha-Bun-Ya-Ji-Do(here-after Ch'on-Sang-Do). In the star map we have found 1468 stars, 4 more than the Chinese star catalog Bo-Chun-Ga. The four extra stars form a constellation, Jong Dae Boo. The map projection law used in the star chart is found to be the polar equtorial and equidistance projection. The linear distance of an object on Ch'on-Sang-Do from the center is linearly proportional to the north polar angular distance. We have found from a statistical analysis that most stars with declination lower than 50 are at positions representing the epoch of around the first century. On the other hand, stars near the north pole with declination higher than 50 are at the epoch of about 1300, which is close to the time the chart was engraved. This implies that the original Ko-Gu-Rye Dynasty's star chart has been revised by astronomers of Cho-Sun Dynasty. We have also shown that stars on Ch'on-Sang-Do are engraved in such a way that their area is linearly proportional to the visual magnitude.

Let P be a Jacobian polynomial such as deg P = $deg_y$ P. Suppose the Jacobian polynomial P satisfies the intersection condition satisfying $dim_C$ C[x, y]/$P_y$> = deg P - 1, we can prove that the Keller map which has P as one of coordinate polynomial always has its inverse.

전통적으로 심근 생존능을 식별하고 심근 관류를 정확히 평가하기 위한 도구로 핵의학영상이 이용되고 있으나 경색영역을 정의하기에는 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 극성지도의 분포를 분석하여 특성에 맞는 적응적 임계값을 이용하여 심근경색 모델을 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 쥐 심근경색 모델은 왼쪽 관상동맥을 결찰시켜 제작하였다. 소동물PET 영상은 37 MBq $^{18}F$-FDG를 쥐의 꼬리정맥에 주사한 후 60분 섭취 후 Siemens Inveon SPECT/PET 스캐너를 이용하여 20분 동안 ECG 신호와 함께 획득하였고, OSEM 2D 알고리즘을 이용하여 재구성하였다. PET 영상의 심근 극성지도는 Siemens QGS 소프트웨어에 적합한 형식으로 변환 후 자동으로 심근 벽을 설정하여 작성하였다. 심근경색영역의 기준데이터는 TTC 염색으로 설정하였으며 전체 좌심실대비 염색된 영역의 백분율로 획득하였다. 최적의 임계값 설정을 위해 절대치 설정 방법, Otsu 알고리즘, 다중가우시안혼합모델(Multi Gaussian mixture model, MGMM)을 이용하여 평가하였다. 절대치 설정 방법은 10~90%까지 10%단위로 미리 정의 된 임계값을 이용하였고, Otsu 알고리즘은 영상 내에서 두 군집의 분산을 최대로 하는 임계값으로 설정하였다. MGMM 방법은 영상의 화소 강도를 분석하여 여러 개의 가우시안 분포함수(MGMM2, $\cdots$ MGMM4)로 반복 수행하여 최적의 가우시안 분포를 구하여 적응적 임계값을 설정하였다. 극성지도 평가지표는 각각의 알고리즘에서 측정된 임계값을 이용하여 이진화하고 전체 극성지도와 경색영역의 백분율로 획득한 후, TTC 염색으로 획득된 기준데이터와의 차이를 비교하였다. 그 차이는 절대치 방법의 20%에서 $7.04{\pm}3.44%$, 30%에서 $3.87{\pm}2.09%$, 40%에서 $2.15{\pm}2.07%$이었다. Otsu 방법은 $3.56{\pm}4.16%$이었으며 MGMM 방법은 $2.29{\pm}1.94%$이었다. 소동물 PET 극성지도에서는 30% 임계값이 조직학적 데이터와 비교하여 가장 작은 차이를 보였다. 그러나 TTC 염색으로 측정한 크기가 10% 이하에서는 MGMM 방법이 절대치 방법보다 작은 차이를 보였다(MGMM: 0.006%, 절대치방법: 0.59%). 이 연구에서는 심근경색 모델 평가를 위하여 생체영상 극성지도에서 다중가우시안혼합모델을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. MGMM은 사용자의 선택 없이도 자동적으로 영상 특성을 고려하여 적응적 임계값을 찾아주는 방법으로 극성지도에서 심근경색을 평가하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In an attempt to evaluate the function of MAP kinase of porcine oocytes and to develop a method of assessment for kinase activity, we used MBP as a substrate to detect the MAP kinase activity of porcine oocytes matured in in vitro. The MAP kinase which had lower activity during the first 20 hours of culture started to show an increased amount of activity at 25 hours at which a collapse in nuclear membrane was induced. Significant (P<0.05) a, pp.ared at 30 hours of being cultured. The gel phosphorylation method, MBP which has been known to be a substrate for kinase such as cdc2 kinase, was phosphorylated at two positions corresponding to ERK 1 (44kDa) and ERK2 (42 kDa) which are known as mammalian MAP kinase. The existence of MARKK and MAP kinase were identified with western blotting at 0 hour culture of immature GV oocytes. The amount of those proteins did not increase during 40 hours of culture, which suggest that the increase of MAP kinase activity was caused by phosphorylaton rather than due to change in protein amount. MAPKK and MAP kinase were shown to be dephosporylated with deactivated at M 1 stage by inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide added at the strat following the cultrue. We have reulsts that indicate the existedence of MAP kinase cascade which was activated simultaneously with start of porcine oocyte maturation (GVBD).
