대역 확장(Bandwidth Extension)이란 채널 용량 부족 혹은 이동통신 기기에 탑재된 코덱의 특성으로 인해 부호화 및 복호화 과정에서 대역 제한(band limited)되거나 손상된 협대역 신호(NB, Narrow Band)를 복원, 확장하여 광대역 신호(WB, Wide Band)로 전환 시켜주는 것을 의미한다. 대역 확장 연구는 주로 음성 신호 위주로 대역 복제(SBR, Spectral Band Replication), IGF(Intelligent Gap Filling)과 같이 고대역을 주파수 영역으로 변환하여 복잡한 특징 추출 과정을 거쳐 이를 바탕으로 사라지거나 손상된 고대역을 복원한다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 모델 중 오토인코더(Autoencoder)를 바탕으로 1차원 합성곱 신경망(CNN, Convolutional Neural Network)들의 잔차 연결을 활용하여 복잡한 사전 전처리 과정 없이 일정한 길이의 시간 영역 신호를 입력시켜 대역 확장 시킨 음향 신호를 출력하는 모델을 제안한다. 또한 음성 영역에 제한되지 않는 음악을 포함한 여러 종류의 음원을 포함하는 데이터셋에 훈련시켜도 손상된 고대역을 복원할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Strong wind is the main factors of wind-damage of high-rise buildings, which often creates largely economical losses and casualties. Wind pressure plays a critical role in wind effects on buildings. To obtain the high-resolution wind pressure field, it often requires massive pressure taps. In this study, two traditional methods, including bilinear and bicubic interpolation, and two deep learning techniques including Residual Networks (ResNet) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), are employed to reconstruct wind pressure filed from limited pressure taps on the surface of an ideal building from TPU database. It was found that the GANs model exhibits the best performance in reconstructing the wind pressure field. Meanwhile, it was confirmed that k-means clustering based retained pressure taps as model input can significantly improve the reconstruction ability of GANs model. Finally, the generalization ability of k-means clustering based GANs model in reconstructing wind pressure field is verified by an actual engineering structure. Importantly, the k-means clustering based GANs model can achieve satisfactory reconstruction in wind pressure field under the inputs processing by k-means clustering, even the 20% of pressure taps. Therefore, it is expected to save a huge number of pressure taps under the field reconstruction and achieve timely and accurately reconstruction of wind pressure field under k-means clustering based GANs model.

This paper presents the development of specialized software for annotating volume-of-interest on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT images with the goal of facilitating the studies and diagnosis of head and neck cancer (HNC). To achieve an efficient annotation process, we employed the SE-Norm-Residual Layer-based U-Net model. This model exhibited outstanding proficiency to segment cancerous regions within ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT scans of HNC cases. Manual annotation function was also integrated, allowing researchers and clinicians to validate and refine annotations based on dataset characteristics. Workspace has a display with fusion of both PET and CT images, providing enhance user convenience through simultaneous visualization. The performance of deeplearning model was validated using a Hecktor 2021 dataset, and subsequently developed semi-automatic annotation functionalities. We began by performing image preprocessing including resampling, normalization, and co-registration, followed by an evaluation of the deep learning model performance. This model was integrated into the software, serving as an initial automatic segmentation step. Users can manually refine pre-segmented regions to correct false positives and false negatives. Annotation images are subsequently saved along with their corresponding ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT fusion images, enabling their application across various domains. In this study, we developed a semi-automatic annotation software designed for efficiently generating annotated lesion images, with applications in HNC research and diagnosis. The findings indicated that this software surpasses conventional tools, particularly in the context of HNC-specific annotation with ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT data. Consequently, developed software offers a robust solution for producing annotated datasets, driving advances in the studies and diagnosis of HNC.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) building frames constructed before the seismic design was applied have seismically deficient structural details, and buildings with such structural details show brittle behavior that is destroyed early due to low shear performance. Various reinforcement systems, such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing systems, are being studied to reinforce the seismically deficient RC frames. Due to the step-by-step modeling and interpretation process, existing seismic performance assessment and reinforcement design of buildings consume an enormous amount of workforce and time. Various machine learning (ML) models were developed using input and output datasets for seismic loads and reinforcement details built through the finite element (FE) model developed in previous studies to overcome these shortcomings. To assess the performance of the seismic performance prediction models developed in this study, the mean squared error (MSE), R-square (R²), and residual of each model were compared. Overall, the applied ML was found to rapidly and effectively predict the seismic performance of buildings according to changes in load and reinforcement details without overfitting. In addition, the best-fit model for each seismic performance class was selected by analyzing the performance by class of the ML models.

In this paper, we propose an efficient lossless compression algorithm using spatial and temporal information. The proposed method obtains higher lossless compression of images than other lossless compression techniques. It is divided into two parts, a motion adaptation based predictor part and a residual error coding part. The proposed nonlinear predictor can reduce prediction error by learning from its past prediction errors. The predictor decides the proper selection of the spatial and temporal prediction values according to each past prediction error. The reduced error is coded by existing context coding method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than those of existing context modeling methods.

A principle of "orthogonalization" is proposed as an extended notion of hybrid (force and position) control for robot manipulators under geometric endpoint constraints. The principle realizes the hybrid control in a strict sense by letting position and velocity feedback signals be orthogonal in joint space to the contact force vector whose components are exerted at corresponding joints. This orthogonalization is executed via a projection matrix computed in real-time from a gradient of the equation of the surface in joint coordinates and hence both projected position and velocity feedback signals become perpendicular to the force vector that is normal to the surface at the contact point in joint space. To show the important role of the principle in control of robot manipulators, three basic problems are analyzed, the first is a hybrid trajectory tracking problem by means of a "modified hybrid computed torque method", the second is a model-based adaptive control problem for robot manipulators under geometric endpoint constraints, and the third is an iterative learning control problem. It is shown that the passivity of residual error dynamics of robots follows from the orthogonalization principle and it plays a crucial role in convergence properties of both positional and force error signals.force error signals.

Approximately 1% to 3% of all children have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). OSAS in children can lead to a variety of symptoms and sequalae; impairment of development and quality of life, behavioral and personality disturbance, learning problem, cor pulmonale and hypertension. Diagnosis and treatment of OASA for children are different from those for adults in many respects. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is major cause of childhood OSAS. Overnight polysomnography in a sleep laboratory is the gold standard for diagnosing childhood OSAS. However, because full polysomnography in children may be difficult to obtain, expensive, and inconvenient, other methods to diagnose OSAS have been investigated. Adenotonsillectomy is the most common surgical treatment of childhood OSAS. But if residual symptoms remained after adenotonsillectomy, it should be considered to additional treatment such as weight control, sleep positional change, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

We propose a new algorithm for blind source separation (BSS), in which frequency-domain independent component analysis (FDICA) and time-domain ICA (TDICA) are combined to achieve a superior source-separation performance under reverberant conditions. Generally speaking, conventional TDICA fails to separate source signals under heavily reverberant conditions because of the low convergence in the iterative learning of the inverse of the mixing system. On the other hand, the separation performance of conventional FDICA also degrades significantly because the independence assumption of narrow-band signals collapses when the number of subbands increases. In the proposed method, the separated signals of FDICA are regarded as the input signals for TDICA, and we can remove the residual crosstalk components of FDICA by using TDICA. The experimental results obtained under the reverberant condition reveal that the separation performance of the proposed method is superior to that of conventional ICA-based BSS methods.

The harmonious lip length, residual scar and Cupid's bow width and peak with a normal side are the aims of a unilateral cleft lip repair. Also, long term amelioration without necessary of revisional surgeries may be the ideal conditions. No one method can satisfy the wide varieties of cleft lip deformities. Recently with rearrangement of paraoral muscle and some modifications, a straight line repair technique has been concerned again. Straight scar line, simplicity, and short learning curve are the advantages of the straight line technique. Here two cases of the simple straight line technique were presented and discussed for its usefulness and reliability with short reviews of previous reports.
