  • This paper presents a novel on-line trajectory optimization framework based on automatic time warping, which performs the time warping of a reference motion while optimizing character motion control. Unlike existing physics-based character animation methods where sampling times for a reference motion are uniform or fixed during optimization in general, our method considers the change of sampling times on top of the dynamics of character motion in the same optimization, which allows the character to effectively respond to external pushes with optimal time warping. In order to do so, we formulate an optimal control problem which takes into account both the full-body dynamics and the change of sampling time for a reference motion, and present a model predictive control framework that produces an optimal control policy for character motion and sampling time by repeatedly solving the problem for a fixed-span time window while shifting it along the time axis. Our experimental results show the robustness of our framework to external perturbations and the effectiveness on rhythmic motion synthesis in accordance with a given piece of background music.

  • A kind of nanosized sulfated zirconia was prepared by a hydrothermal method, and full characterized by XRD, TEM, BET, TGA, and FTIR. Its catalytic activity was evaluated in the esterification reactions, including the testing of the catalytic reusability and the optimization of reaction conditions. The obtained catalyst was revealed to be highly efficient solid catalyst for the esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol, presenting the advantages of high conversion and selectivity, easy recovery, and steady reusability.

  • Beef producers are trying to produce not only better quality but also greater quantity of beef in order to meet the preferences of some consumers at a lower cost. This can be accomplished if we understand the factors regulating lipid deposition in intramuscular adipose tissue and the tenderness of meat. Propylene glycol (PG) might be used as a precursor of intramuscular fat synthesis especially in the late period of fattening because adipose tissue in ruminants is thought to mature sequentially in abdominal, intermuscular, subcutaneous and intramuscular depots. The action of cholecalciferol supplementation has been verified in producing more tender meat through the enhancement of calpain activity over the postmortem ageing period. A synergistic effect can be expected if the dietary cation and anion difference (DCAD) technique is used in combination with dietary supplementation of cholecalciferol. In another approach, the optimization of hormonal implant use also may provide similarly marbled beef at a much lower cost.

  • In this study, the human gait trajectories during normal walking were synthesized using the inverse kinematics and optimization techniques. The synthesis is based on a gait model consisting of a torso and two legs. Each let has three segments: thigh, shank, foot, and has six degrees-of-freedom. In order to synthesize trajectories of this redundant system, the sum of angular displacements of articulating joints was selected as an objective function to be minimized. The proposed algorithm in this study is very useful for the analysis of human gait. For the gait analysis, the trajectories of four points in each leg should be measured. Hpwever, by using the algorithm, measuring the trajectories of two points is sufficient, and thus the experimental set-up can be simplified.

  • 6,7-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)quinoline was synthesized by Friedl$\ddot{a}$nder's cyclization reaction. Different bases and solvents were tested in order to optimize the reaction conditions. The highest yields were obtained using piperidine in refluxing ethanol. Further reactions were carried out in order to prepare different diarylamide and diarylurea derivatives in moderate to high yields in order to examine their anticancer activities.

A a reducing power consumption of a scheduling for module selection under the time constraint execute scheduling and allocation for considering the switching activity. The focus scheduling of this phase adopt Force-Directed Scheduling for low power to existed Force-Directed Scheduling. and it constructs the module selection RT library by in account consideration the mutual correlation of parameters in which the power and the area and delay. when it is, in this paper we formulate the module selection method as a multi-objective optimization and propose a branch and bound approach to explore the large design space of module selection. Therefore, the optimal module selection method proposed to consider power, area, delay parameter at the same time. The comparison experiment analyzed a point of difference between the existed FDS algorithm and a new FDS_RPC algorithm.

  • A factorization is an extremely important part of multi-level logic synthesis. The number of literals in a factored from is a good estimate of the complexity of a logic function, and can be translated directly into the number of transistors required for implementation. Factored forms are described as either algebraic or Boolean, according to the trade-off between run-time and optimization. A Boolean factored form contains fewer number of literals than an algebraic factored form. In this paper, we present a new method for a Boolean factorization. The key idea is to identify two-cube Boolean subexpression pairs from given expression. Experimental results on various benchmark circuits show the improvements in literal counts over the algebraic factorization based on Brayton's co-kernel cube matrix.

  • In this paper, we propose a broadband beamforming method using the Spatial Response Variation (SRV) which is defined to measure the fluctuation of the array spatial response within the desired frequency band. By applying the SRV to regularization term, we achieve a good quality main beam width variation less than 1 degree within the desired frequency band. In design experiments, we show that the proposed method is better than the existing method.

  • 최근 유럽에서 DVB-T HDTV 방송 표준이 정하지면서 오디오 포맷으로 HE-AAC가 채택되었다. HE-AAC는 압축효율은 높지만 연산량이 높아 낮은 성능의 DSP에서 수행하기에는 어려움이 있다. DVB-T에서는 5.1채널을 사용하고 있어 더욱더 많은 연산을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 ISO/DEC 14496-3 MPEG4 HE(High Efficiency)-AAC의 Level4에 해당하는 Multichannel Decoder를 최적화하여 구현하고. 가장 많은 연산을 필요로 하는 Synthesis Filter Bank에 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 연산량을 줄였고 대부분의 연산부를 어셈블리로 코드 최적화를 하여 작은 성능의 DSP를 사용하여 실시간 Multichannel HE-AAC Audio Decoder의 구현이 가능하게 하였다. DVB-T 오디오 시스템에 필수로 필요한 Audio Description, Dynamic Range Control, Downmix 등을 함께 구현하여 실제 수신기에 사용이 가능하도록 하였다. DSP는 Samsung의 CalmRISC16 + MAC24 core 를 사용하였다.

  • Batch culture of mutant derived from Pichia ciferrii ATCC 14091 was investigated for producing the intracellular tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS). Composite experimental design was used to optimize the composition of the culture medium for maximizing the productivity of TAPS. In this experiment, various culture parameters were investigated that were the effects of temperature, the initial culture pH, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, the concentration of trace elements, and the concentration of cofactors. The optimal temperature for cell growth and TAPS synthesis appeared to be %25^{\circ}C$. An initial pH value of 7.5 gave the best results. Under the best condition, the maximum TAPS concentration indicated 7.2 g/L and its productivity was 0.06 g/L-hr in a 2.5 L jar
