The shadow enhancer of the short gastrulation (sog) gene directs its sequential expression in the neurogenic ectoderm and the ventral midline of the developing Drosophila embryo. Here, we characterize three unusual features of the shadow enhancer midline activity. First, the minimal regions for the two different enhancer activities exhibit high overlap within the shadow enhancer, meaning that one developmental enhancer possesses dual enhancer activities. Second, the midline enhancer activity relies on five Single-minded (Sim)-binding sites, two of which have not been found in any Sim target enhancers. Finally, two linked Dorsal (Dl)- and Zelda (Zld)-binding sites, critical for the neurogenic ectoderm enhancer activity, are also required for the midline enhancer activity. These results suggest that early activation by Dl and Zld may facilitate late activation via the noncanonical sites occupied by Sim. We discuss a model for Zld as a pioneer factor and speculate its role in midline enhancer activity.

본 논문에서는 영상의 윤곽선을 검출하여 배경 블록과 윤곽선 블록으로 분류하고 윤곽선 맵을 작성하여, 윤곽선 블록에 대해서는 다시 DCT의 AC 계수를 사용하여 16개로 세분화한 후, 다중 면 사이드 매치 유한상태 벡터양자화를 수행하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 윤곽선 맵의 정보에 따라 각각 주 부호책으로부터 상태 부호책을 작성하며, 현재 블록의 B면 또는 3면에 대해 사이드 매치 계산을 수행한다. 전송 비트 수를 줄이기 위해 먼저 부호화되는 블록들 중 배경 블록에 한하여 주 부호책으로 부호화 할 것인지를 결정한다. 또한 복호화기로 전송하는 부호단어 인덱스의 할당 비트를 줄이기 위해서 가변 길이 부호화를 수행한다. Zelda, Lenna, Bridge, Peppers 영상에 대하여 본 알고리듬으로 영상을 부호화했을 때 SMVQ와 TSMVQ 알고리듬보다 더 좋은 영상의 화질을 얻을 수 있었다.

The short gastrulation (sog) shadow enhancer directs early and late sog expression in the neurogenic ectoderm and the ventral midline of the developing Drosophila embryo, respectively. Here, evidence is presented that the sog primary enhancer also has both activities, with the late enhancer activity dependent on the early activity. Computational analyses showed that the sog primary enhancer contains five Dorsal (Dl)-, four Zelda (Zld)-, three Bicoid (Bcd)-, and no Single-minded (Sim)-binding sites. In contrast to many ventral midline enhancers, the primary enhancer can direct lacZ expression in the ventral midline as well as in the neurogenic ectoderm without a canonical Simbinding site. Intriguingly, the impaired transcriptional synergy between Dl and either Zld or Bcd led to aberrant and abolished lacZ expression in the neurogenic ectoderm and in the ventral midline, respectively. These findings suggest that the two enhancer activities of the sog primary enhancer are functionally consolidated and geographically inseparable.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm which segments hierarchically blocks of image using discrete cosine transform(DCT) and execute finite-state vector quantization (FSVQ) for each block. Using DCT coefficient feature, image is segmented hierarchically to large smooth block and small edge block, then the block hierarchy informations are transmitted. The codebooks are respectively constructed for each hierarchical blocks, the encoder transmits codeword index using FSVQ for reducing encoded bit with hierarchical segmentation. Compared with side match VQ(SMVQ) and hierarchical FSVQ(HFSVQ) algorithm, about Zelda and Boat image, the new algorithm shows better picture quality with 1.97dB and 2.85 dB difference as to SMVQ, 1.78dB and 1.85dB diffences as to HFSVQ respectively.
