This study is conducted to compare ultrasonographs with plain radiographs in monitoring bone regeneration during reconstruction of critical sized radial defects in dogs. A 15 mm bony defect was taken on each of the eight dog's radius using an electrical saw and an external fixator was applied. The experimental groups were divided into non-treated group(group 1) and $Osteoset^{(R)}$-treated group(group 2). Each fracture site was evaluated using plain radiography and ultrasonography. Radiographic callus formation occurred after $11.50{\pm}1.12$ days in group 1 and $11.50{\pm}0.5$ days in group 2. Neovascularized flow signal could be seen $6.50{\pm}1.5$ days and the vascular signal disappeared after $45.00{\pm}6.16$ days after operation in group 1. Neovascularized flow signal was observed $6.75{\pm}1.78$ days and vascular signal disappeared $23.25{\pm}3.03$ days after surgery which was caused by acoustic shadowing in group 2. Early stages of regeneration were observed more clearly with color Doppler ultrasonography than with plain radiography. Also from the results it is concluded that color Doppler ultrasonography are useful in observing initial stages of bone repair.

We have designed and assembled a saturated absorption-spectroscopy system of $^{127}I_2$ for the frequency stabilization of the 543 nm He-Ne laser. The frequency of a internal-mirror 543 nm He-Ne laser was swept by utilizing the temperature and PZT change of the laser cavity length. Frequency modulation was applied to the output laser mirror with a PZT modulator for the third harmonic signal. A portion of the hyperfine spectrum originated from the R(12)26-0 and R(106)28-0 transitions of the B-X system of $^{127}I_2$ was observed as the third-derivative signal using a saturated absorption spectroscopy. The signal-to-noise ratio of a typical hyperfine spectrum signal was estimated to be 30:1.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals cannot be counterfeited and can easily acquire signals from both wrists. In this paper, we propose a method of generating a coupling image using direction information of ECG signals as well as its usage in a personal recognition method. The proposed coupling image is generated by using forward ECG signal and rotated inverse ECG signal based on R-peak, and the generated coupling image shows a unique pattern and brightness. In addition, R-peak data is increased through the ECG signal calculation of the same beat, and it is thus possible to improve the recognition performance of the individual. The generated coupling image extracts characteristics of pattern and brightness by using the proposed convolutional neural network and reduces data size by using multiple pooling layers to improve network speed. The experiment uses public ECG data of 47 people and conducts comparative experiments using five networks with top 5 performance data among the public and the proposed networks. Experimental results show that the recognition performance of the proposed network is the highest with 99.28%, confirming potential of the personal recognition.

Adenylate kinase (AK) enzyme which acts as the catalyst of reversible high energy phosphorylation reaction between ATP and AMP which associate with energetic metabolism and nucleic acid synthesis and signal transmission. This enzyme has three distinct domains: Core, AMP binding domain (AMPbd) and Lid domain (LID). The primary role of AMPbd and LID is associated with conformational changes due to flexibility of two domains. Three dimensional structure of human AK1 has not been confirmed and various mutation experiments have been done to determine the active sites. In this study, AK1R138A which is changed arginine[138] of LID domain with alanine[138] was made and conducted with NMR experiments, backbone dynamics analysis and mo-lecular docking dynamic simulation to find the cause of structural change and substrate binding site. Synthetic human muscle type adenylate kinase 1 (hAK1) and its mutant (AK1R138A) were re-combinded with E. coli and expressed in M9 cell. Expressed proteins were purified and finally gained at 0.520 mM hAK1 and 0.252 mM AK1R138A. Multinuclear multidimensional NMR experiments including HNCA, HN(CO)CA, were conducted for amino acid sequence analysis and signal assignments of $^1H-^{15}N$ HSQC spectrum. Our chemical shift perturbation data is shown LID domain residues and around alanine[138] and per-turbation value(0.22ppm) of valine[179] is consid-ered as inter-communication effect with LID domain and the structural change between hAK1 and AK1R138A.

Pre-emphasizing the speech compensates for falloff at high frequencies. The most common form of pre-emphasis is y(n)=s(n)-A${\cdot}$s(n-1), where A typically lies between 0.9 and 1.0 in voiced signal. And, this value reflects the degree of pre-emphasis and equals R(1)/R(0) in conventional method. This paper proposes a new flattening method to compensate the weaked high frequency components that occur by vocal cord characteristic. We used QMF(Quardrature Mirror Filter) to minimize the output signal distortion. After using the QMF to compensate high frequency components, flattening process is followed by R(1)/R(0) at each frame. Experimental results show that the proposed method flattened the weaked high frequency components effectively than auto correlation method. Therefore, the flattening algorithm will apply in speech signal processing like speech recognition, speech analysis and synthesis.

For GNSS navigation in urban environment, a novel short delay multipath mitigation algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm detects which satellite's signal is the multipath signal by using the constraint that GNSS receiver is equipped in a ground vehicle, then estimate new position after separating the measurement of that satellite. A criterion for detecting and validating the multipath signal depends on the performance grade of the GNSS receiver and the dynamics of the vehicle. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, the real data had been collected at the multipath environment of 4 scenarios. By post-processing the real data with both of the multipath mitigation algorithm in the receiver and the proposed algorithm, it can be checked that the position errors were less than 5 meters except the case that the number of visible satellite is lower than 5.

Analytical electron spin resonance (ESR) parameters were investigated in irradiated seasonings after exposure to different radiation sources. Two commercial seasonings (SS-1 and SS-2) were irradiated with 0.20 kGy under ambient conditions using a $^{60}Co$ gamma-ray irradiator or an electron beam accelerator. Crystalline sugar-induced multi-component signals with g-values of 2.031, 2.021, 2.017, 2.009, 2.002, 1.990, and 1.980 were observed in both irradiated samples, whereas singlet signals were detected in non-irradiated materials, thereby distinguishing irradiated from control samples. Under the same analytical conditions, the ESR signal intensity of electron beam-irradiated samples was greater than that of gamma-irradiated materials. Determination coefficients (R2 values) between irradiation doses and corresponding ESR responses were 0.9916-0.9973 for all samples, and the magnetic field of specified g-values for irradiated samples remained constant. The predominant ESR signals of g2 (2.021), g4 (2.009), g5 (2.002), and g6 (1.990) showed high correlations with the corresponding irradiation doses (R2=0.8243 - 0.9929).

In this paper, we introduced a near infrared fluorescence imaging system that has long working distance and analyzed on the effects of measurement variables such as gain, exposure time, working distance, magnification. Fluorescence signal intensity is growing up according to exposure time and magnification increasing, and it is getting stronger according to increase of gain, but the background signal intensity is getting stronger together. It causes low SBR. Due to a laser irradiation method, laser intensity distribution of the introduced system is not uniform and it makes fluorescence signal weak. So, we proposed a solution.

The extraction technique for Doppler information(Doppler centroid frequency(f$_{dc}$) and it's rate(f$_{r}$) is very important to make an image from the radar echo signal data. Clutterlock and auto-focusing techniques have been widely used to extract accurate Doppler information. But both techniques are not easy to implement in SAR processor and need quite lots of time to calculate accurate f$_{dc}$ and f$_{r}$ because they are generally based on echo signal data only. In this paper we suggest hybrid method for Doppler extraction using both of echo signal data and orbital and attitude information of satellite. In this method CDE(Correlation Doppler Estimation) technique is only used to estimate exact modular f$_{dc}$ using received echo signal data and rest of other algorithms are based on simple mathematical model of geometry between satellite and ground targets as well as the Doppler frequency ambiguity resolving problem. The experimental results using Radarsat-1 signal data shows that the proposed method can be effectively used for the extraction of Doppler information.
