  • With the increasing application of UAVs in intelligent transportation systems, vehicle detection for aerial images has become an essential engineering technology and has academic research significance. In this paper, a vehicle detection method for aerial images based on the YOLOv4 deep learning algorithm is presented. At present, the most known datasets are VOC (The PASCAL Visual Object Classes Challenge), ImageNet, and COCO (Microsoft Common Objects in Context), which comply with the vehicle detection from UAV. An integrated dataset not only reflects its quantity and photo quality but also its diversity which affects the detection accuracy. The method integrates three public aerial image datasets VAID, UAVD, DOTA suitable for YOLOv4. The training model presents good test results especially for small objects, rotating objects, as well as compact and dense objects, and meets the real-time detection requirements. For future work, we will integrate one more aerial image dataset acquired by our lab to increase the number and diversity of training samples, at the same time, while meeting the real-time requirements.

  • Accounting information disclosure by enterprises is important for third-party entities (suppliers, creditors, banks, regulators, etc.). Voluntary accounting information disclosure (VAID) refers to additional information related to business activities shown on the annual report above and beyond the required information about business results and financial position as well as cash flow. This supports the stakeholders gaining useful information to make proper business decisions. The article examines the influence of ownership structure on the voluntary accounting information disclosure of the top 100 Vietnamese listed companies (VN100). Data collected by authors on regular annual reports totaled 425 observations from 2015 to 2019. The article uses OLS to test multivariate regression models with time-series data. The research results show that there are three variables affecting voluntary accounting information disclosure, of which foreign ownership and institution ownership have a positive impact, while concentration ownership has an opposite impact. Accordingly, the managers of VN100 should raise awareness in order to demonstrate the obligation of information providers to users to ensure clarity and completeness. The state agencies should encourage VN100 to enhance voluntary accounting information disclosure. This contributes to improve the information level of Vietnamese listed companies to embrace the trend of international economic integration.

  • The snow cornice mass on the formation zone had triggered avalanches which led to the loss of human life and property. Snow cornice is formed due to flow separation on the leeward side. Effect of lee slope is more prominent in the formation of snow cornices as compared to the windward slope. The analysis of wind flow pattern has been carried out to evaluate the performance of a jet roof. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of wind flow over a 2D hill model was carried out using RNG based k-∈ turbulence models available in ANSYS Fluent. Effect of varying leeward hill slope (1:2 to 1:6) on flow separation for the given windward slope was observed and a critical slope of 1:4 was found at which the separation zone ceased to exist. The modification of wind flow over a hill due to the installation of jet roof was simulated. It was observed that jet roof had significantly modified the wind flow pattern around hill ridgeline and ultimately snow cornice formation had mitigated. The results of the wind flow pattern were validated with the wind data collected at the experimental site, Banihal Top (Jammu and Kashmir, India). The wind flow simulation over the hill and mitigation of cornice formation by the jet roof has been explained in the present paper.

  • The demand for orthodontic clear aligner therapy (CAT) has increased significantly over the last decade, offering advantages over the fixed appliances (FA) including enhanced aesthetics, better hygiene and comfort, along with minimal restrictions on the patient's diet. Moreover, a marked improvement in the efficacy of tooth movement using aligners has been documented. On the contrary, there have been known limitations of CAT including the compliances issues and the apparent lack of efficacy for certain types of tooth movement such as closure of extraction space compared to FA. Thus, evidence-based evaluation of the accuracy of prediction of tooth movement with clear aligners and their ability to effectively perform major tooth and root movements compared to FA are crucial. Although several systematic reviews have investigated various aspects of the effectiveness of CAT, we are yet to obtain a rather conclusive answer to this question. The current review attempted to summarize the evidence-based findings of most systematic reviews about CAT available to date. Major issues regarding the predictability of tooth movement, the role of attachments and auxiliaries in improving the effectiveness of CAT, and the treatment outcomes in comparison to FA were investigated. Clinical recommendation have been also elaborated based on the interpretation of the findings of all systematic reviews included in this study.

  • Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the recognition of invading pathogens and the modulation of innate immune responses in mammals. The TLR4 and TLR7 are well known to recognize the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and single stranded (ssRNA) ligands, respectively and play important role in host defense against Gram-negative bacteria and ssRNA viruses. In the present study, coding exon fragments of these two TLRs were identified, cloned, sequenced and analyzed in terms of insertion-deletion polymorphism, within bovine TLRs 4 and 7, thereby facilitating future TLR signaling and association studies relevant to bovine innate immunity. Comparative sequence analysis of TLR 4 exons revealed that this gene is more variable, particularly the coding frame (E3P1), while other parts showed percent identity of 95.7% to 100% at nucleotide and amino acid level, respectivley with other Bos indicus and Bos taurus breeds from different parts of the world. In comparison to TLR4, sequence analysis of TLR7 showed more conservation among different B. indicus and B. taurus breeds, except single point mutation at 324 nucleotide position (AAA to AAM) altering a single amino acid at 108 position (K to X). Percent identity of TLR7 sequences (all 3 exons) was between 99.2% to 100% at nucleotide and amino acid level, when compared with available sequence database of B. indicus and B. taurus. Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool (SMART) analysis showed variations in the exon fragments located in the Leucine Rich Repeat (LRR) region, which is responsible for binding with the microbial associated molecular patterns and further, downstream signaling to initiate anti-microbial response. Considering importance of TLR polymorphism in terms of innate immunity, further research is warranted.

  • 유머를 유발하는 핵심요인이 불합치라는 것에서는 많은 연구자들의 견해가 일치하지만, 불합치를 유발하는 상이한 스키마들의 활성화에서는 다른 견해를 보인다. 스키마의 활성화와 관련된 견해들 중에서 대비되는 두 견해에는 동시 활성화 견해(concurrent activation view)와 선택적 활성화 견해(selective activation view)가 있다. 이 연구에서는 유머텍스트 처리에서 상이한 두 스키마들이 어떻게 활성화 되는지를 경험적으로 검증함으로써 대비되는 두 견해를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험은 유머 텍스트를 기저-도입-불합치-해소의 4단계로 구분하여 시행하였고, 불합치는 존재하되 해소부분을 조작한 대조텍스트를 사용하였다. 실험에서는 문맥에 부합하는 스키마를 S1, 부합하지 않고 유머의 참 뜻을 나타내는 스키마를 S2라 명명하였다. 실험결과 불합치 단계에서 활성화된 스키마들이 해소 단계에서도 여전히 활성화되고, 불합치 단계에서의 S1, S2 모두 해소단계의 S1, S2와 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이는 불합치 단계에서는 하나의 스키마가 다른 스키마를 억제할 것이라고 가정하는 선택적 활성화 견해와는 모순되는 것이다. 이 연구의 결과는 유머 텍스트를 처리하는 과정에서 상이한 스키마들은 동시에 활성화됨을 시사한다.

  • Sn도금액은 강산에서는 $Sn^{2+}$, 강알칼리에서는 $Sn^{4+}$석출이 안정하다. 중성영역은 도금액에 $Sn^{2+}$침전을 방지하기 위하여 착화제가 필요하다. 기록에 남아 있는 가장 오래된 Sn도금은 1856년 Gore가 4가의 주석산염을 사용한 알칼리성용액이다. 그 후 50~60년 사이에 2가의 염화주석($SnCl_2$)과 KOH에 Cyan 등의 착화제를 첨가한 도금액이 발표되었다. 최초의 실용적인 알칼리주석용액은 1931년 Oplinger의 4가 주석산 염으로서, $CH_3COONa$를 완충제로 사용하였고, $Sn^{2+}$을 산화시키기 위하여 과산화물이나 과 붕산염을 첨가하였다. 알칼리성 Sn용액은 Natrium용액과 Kalium용액이 있지만, Kalium염이 용해성이 좋고, Sn농도를 높여 전류밀도를 높일 수 있다. 알칼리성용액은 도금속도가 산성용액의 1/2로 되고, 음극효율도 80~90% 정도 낮아, 두꺼운 피막이나 생산성을 중시하는 부품에는 적합하지 않다. 초기의 산성용액은 Sn의 정련목적으로 사용되었고, Pb정련에 사용된 Fluor규산용액에 Gelatine을 첨가하였다. Mathers는 Cresol산을 첨가하여 미량의 Cresol포화용액을 사용하여 고속으로 두껍게 석출시킬 수 있었다. 독일의 Schloetter도 다양한 방향족 술폰산으로써 반 광택피막을 실현하였다. 산성Sn도금액은 첨가제에 어떠한 유기화합물을 사용하는가는 도금장치나 석출상태로써 결정할 수 있다. Hothersall과 Bradshaw는 Cresol술폰산을 첨가하여 도금액 안정성 향상을 발견했다. Cresol술폰산은 $Sn^{2+}$의 안정제이며, Gelatine은 분산제기능을 한다. 붕 불화용액은 Sn농도를 높일 수 있고, $2{\sim}12A/dm^2$의 고 전류밀도의 도금이 가능하다. 1937년 Schloetter가 개발하여 미국의 제철회사에서 사용되었다. Sn-Ni도금은 Ni도금보다도 뛰어난 내식성이 있기 때문에 자전거, 자동차부품에 사용되고 있다. 실용도금액은 1951년 Parkinson이 발표한 HBF/HCL용액이다. $SnCl_2$산성용액에서 표준전위는 -0.136V인데 비하여, Ni이온의 표준전위는 -0.25V이다. HF용액에서는 불화물이온이 $Sn^{2+}$의 석출전위를 (-)방향으로 이동시켜서 합금석출이 가능하다. Sn-Co도금은 Cr도금의 색조에 가깝고, 장식목적으로 사용된다. Cr도금 대체용으로 사용된다. 내마모성이나 내식성은 Cr도금보다도 떨어지기 때문에 장식목적에 한정된다. 1953년 Parkinson은 Sn-Ni도금연구에서 동일한 용액조성으로부터 Co 30%를 석출시켰다. Sn-Zn도금은 방식도금으로서 자동차부품에 많이 사용되고 있다. Sn과 Zn의 표준전위는 서로 멀리 떨어져 있기 때문에 산성용액에서는 공석될 수 없다. 1980년대에 들면서, 방식Cd(Cadmium)도금의 독성 때문에 Sn-Zn도금을 재인식 하게 되었다. 1957년 Vaid 등이 No Cyan도금액을 발표했다. 그 후 러시아의 연구자가 안정한 도금액을 연구하였고, Srivastava와 Muckergee가 1976년에 종합하였다.
