Detecting a small threat object either fast moving or floating on shallow water presents a formidable challenge to shipboard sensor systems, which must determine whether or not to launch defensive weapons in a timely manner. An integrated multisensor concept is envisioned wherein the combined use of active and passive sensor is employed for the detection of short duration targets in dense ocean surface clutter to maximize detection range. The objective is to develop multisensor integration techniques that operate on detection data prior to track formation while simultaneously fusing contacts to tracks. In the system concept, detections from a low grazing angle search radar render designations to a sensor-search infrared sensor for target classification which in turn designates an active electro-optical sensor for sector search and target verification.

MH21 연구 컨소시엄에서는 일본 난카이 트러프 동부의 메탄 하이드레이트 탐사를 위해 고분해능 3 차원 탄성파 탐사와 해저면 지구화학탐사를 수행해 왔다. 메탄 하이트레이트가 존재하는 천부지층을 영상화 하기 위해 수행된 고분해능 3 차원 탄성파탐사 결과, 천부 지층에 대한 훌륭한 지질 정보를 획득할 수 있었다. 이러한 정보들은 지질학적, 지구화학적 모델을 구축하는데 유용하며, 특히 메탄가스 또는 메탄을 포함하는 유체의 이동통로, 지구화학적 메탄 하이드레이트 지시자등을 포함하는 복잡한 해저면 지질구조를 이해하는데 유용하다. 수중잠수정을 이용해 확인된 메탄 유출 지점과 탄성파 단면의 비교 결과, 해저면 하부의 메탄가스층 및 메탄 하이드레이트 저류층과 해저면 메탄 하이드레이트 지시자 사이의 특정적인 관계가 확인되었다. 해저지형도와 해저면 반사파로부터 영상화된 해저면 반사파진폭 영상 역시 넓은 지역에 대한 이들 관계를 이해하는 유용하며, 이러한 자료에 기반한 새로운 지구화학적 해저면 탐사도 요구된다. 메탄 하이드레이트 저류층과 해저면 메탄 하이드레이트 지시자 사이의 관계는 고분해능 3 차원 탄성파탐사 자료의 해석을 통해 점점 더 분명해지고 있다. MH21 연구 컨소시엄은 향후 고분해능 3 차원 탄성파탐사로부터 구축된 지질학적, 지구화학적 모델에 기반하여 해저면 지구화학탐사를 수행할 것이다. 이 논문에서는 3 차원 탄성파 탐사와 해저면 지구화학탐사기술의 융합에 의한 일본에서의 메탄 하이트레이트 탐사에 대해 소개한다.

In recent years, convolutional neural network (CNN) has become the primary method for face detection. But its shortcomings are obvious, such as expensive calculation, heavy model, etc. This makes CNN difficult to use on the mobile devices which have limited computing and storage capabilities. Therefore, the design of lightweight CNN for face detection is becoming more and more important with the popularity of smartphones and mobile Internet. Based on the CPU real-time face detector FaceBoxes, we propose a multi-task lightweight face detector, which has low computing cost and higher detection precision. First, to improve the detection capability, the squeeze and excitation modules are used to extract attention between channels. Then, the textual and semantic information are extracted by shallow networks and deep networks respectively to get rich features. Finally, the landmark detection module is used to improve the detection performance for small faces and provide landmark data for face alignment. Experiments on AFW, FDDB, PASCAL, and WIDER FACE datasets show that our algorithm has achieved significant improvement in the mean average precision. Especially, on the WIDER FACE hard validation set, our algorithm outperforms the mean average precision of FaceBoxes by 7.2%. For VGA-resolution images, the running speed of our algorithm can reach 23FPS on a CPU device.

The maintenance of a ship is essential for safe navigation and hence regular surveys are prescribed according to the rule of classification societies. A hull inspection is generally performed by professional divers, but it takes a long time and the efficiency is low in terms of time and cost. In this research, a ROV(Remotely Operated Vehicle) named as SNU-ROV(Seoul National University-ROV) is developed to replace the conventional inspection method. In this system, the ROV is intended to be used for inspecting ship and harbor because harbor inspection is merging as a safety measure against any possible terror actions. In order to increase the efficiency of inspection, the ROV must be able to measure the exact position of damages. SNU-ROV has a positioning system based on LBL(Long Base Line). In shallow water such as harbor, however, LBL has bad DOP(Dilution of Precision) in the depth direction due to the limited depth. Thus LBL only can not locate the exact depth position. To solve the DOP problem, a pressure sensor is introduced to LBL and a complementary filter is attached by using indirect feedback Kalman filter. Thus developed positioning system is verified by simulation and experiment in towing tank.

It has been reported that bone marrow (BM)-side population (SP) cells, with hematopoietic stem cell activity, can transdifferentiate into cardiomyocytes and contribute to myocardial repair. However, this has been questioned by recent studies showing that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) adopt a hematopoietic cell lineage in the ischemic myocardium. The present study was designed to investigate whether BM-SP cells can in fact transdifferentiate into functional cardiomyocytes. Phenotypically, BM-SP cells were $19.59%{\pm}9.00\;CD14^+$, $8.22%{\pm}2.72\;CD34^+$, $92.93%{\pm}2.68\;CD44^+$, $91.86%{\pm}4.07\;CD45^+$, $28.48%{\pm}2.24\;c-kit^+$, $71.09%{\pm}3.67\;Sca-1^+$. Expression of endothelial cell markers (CD31, Flk-1, Tie-2 and VEGF-A) was higher in BM-SP cells than whole BM cells. After five days of co-culture with neonatal cardiomyocytes, $7.2%{\pm}1.2$ of the BM-SP cells expressed sarcomeric ${\alpha}$-actinin as measured by flow cytometry. Moreover, BM-SP cells co-cultured on neonatal cardiomyocytes fixed to inhibit cell fusion also expressed sarcomeric ${\alpha}$-actinin. The co-cultured BM-SP cells showed neonatal cardiomyocyte-like action potentials of relatively long duration and shallow resting membrane potential. They also generated calcium transients with amplitude and duration similar to those of neonatal cardiomyocytes. These results show that BM-SP cells are capable of functional cardiomyogenic differentiation when co-cultured with neonatal cardiomyocytes.
