멀티미디어 시스템에서 수행되는 부하 중 상당 부분은 정해진 시간에 주기적으로 수행되어 연속 매체(continuous media)를 처리하는 주기 태스크들이다. 연속 매체들을 처리하는 두 주기 태스크의 수행 요청 시간(release time)간에 인공적인 위상(phase)을 줄 경우, 전체 부하의 처리 타이밍에 영향을 주게 되며, 특히, 적절한 위상을 부여할 경우 부하가 고르게 분산된다. 부하의 고른 분산은 태스크 간섭을 줄여 지터(jitter), 종료시한 초과(deadline miss), 그리고 긴 응답 시간(response time) 등의 문제를 해소시킨다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 위상 스케줄링(phased scheduling) 알고리즘 및 알고리즘을 개발하고 평가할 수 있는 실험 환경을 제안한다. 본 논문에 제시된 알고리즘은 저자들의 선행 논문 1 에서 제시한 알고리즘의 대안이다. 새로운 알고리즘은 정확하게 최적의 위상을 찾지는 않으나 기존 알고리즘보다 빠르게 수행되며 적용 범위가 넓다.Abstract A multimedia system consists of substantial amount of continuous media workload scheduled periodically at deterministic time points. Artificial phase between the invocation times of any two continuous media tasks affects the timing of the entire workload. A proper phase configuration distributes workload uniformly over time and reduces task interference that may otherwise result in jitter, deadline miss, and long response time. The objective of this paper is to work out a phased scheduling algorithm and to evaluate its effectiveness. The algorithm in this paper is an alternative approach to our previous work 1 . It is almost as accurate as the predecessor but two of three times faster in identifying the appropriate phase vector.

최근 딥러닝을 이용하여 객체 인식 학습을 위한 데이터셋을 구축하는데 있어 시간과 인력을 단축하기 위해 인조 데이터를 생성하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 실제 환경과 관계없이 임의의 배경에 배치되어 구축된 데이터셋으로 학습된 네트워크를 실제 환경으로 구성된 데이터셋으로 테스트할 경우 인식률이 저조하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실제 배경 이미지에 객체 이미지를 합성하고, 다양성을 위해 3차원으로 회전하여 증강하는 인조 데이터셋 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 방법으로 구축된 인조 데이터셋으로 학습한 네트워크와 실제 데이터셋으로 학습된 네트워크의 인식률을 비교한 결과, 인조 데이터셋의 성능이 실제 데이터셋의 성능보다 2% 낮았지만, 인조 데이터셋을 구축하는 시간이 실제 데이터셋을 구축하는 시간보다 약 11배 빨라 시간적으로 효율적인 데이터셋 구축 시스템임을 증명하였다.

To evaluate the functions of vegetation mat of artificial floating island (AFI) installed in Lake Paldang, nutrients, such as total phosphorus (TP), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), total nitrogen (TN) and nitrate $(NO_3)$ and microbial factors such as total bacterial numbers, active bacterial numbers and exoenzymatic activities of $\beta$-glucosidase and phosphatase in pore water of medium and bulk lake water were analyzed. The concentration of TN and $NO_3$ in pore water ranged from 4.4 to 7.5mg $L^{-1}$ from 1.2 to 3.8mg $L^{-1}$ respectively, which were ca. 2 times higher than those of lake water. The ranges of TP and DIP of were $1.4\sim4.1mg\;L^{-1}$ and $0.003\sim0.137mg\;L^{-1}$ in pore water of media which were $4\sim25$ and 5 times higher than those of lake water, respectively. The numbers of total bacteria and active bacteria in pore waterwere about 10 times higher than those of laker water. Also, both phosphatase and $\beta$-glucosidase activities of pore water were on an average 10 times higher than those of lake water. These results suggest that the bacteria were playing important role for nutrients concentrating and cycling in media of artificial floating island. And the medium of artificial floating island contained newly created microbial ecosystem, which is responsible for sustaining the growth of macrophytes and the creation of new aquatic ecosystem.

This study is about interaction design types in the production of sensor-based media installations combining Arduino, an open source platform. By typifying the realized media installation works, we seek to explore the diversity and meaning of new media art expression methods. Based on the understanding of the interaction method of media art, the interaction design type in the production of media installation using sensors was divided into physical movement through motor control, 'artificial plants using ultrasonic sensors and motors', and 'virtual garden using light and sound sensors'. 'Moving images using tilt sensors' are classified into four types. Through this, it is expected that media software can be selected as an appropriate technology for the work and can be presented as an example of artistic expression that is evolving into various expressions.

Mechanical stimulation is known to activate several cellular signal transduction pathways, leading to the induction of signaling molecules and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, thereby modulating cellular activities, such as proliferation and survival. In this study, primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were seeded onto chitosan-based scaffolds, and then cultured for 3 weeks in a bioreactor under a cyclic strain of 1 Hz frequency. Compared to control samples cultured under static conditions, the application of a cyclic strain stimulated the proliferation of HDFs in I week, and by week 3 the thickness of the cell/scaffold composites increased 1.56 fold. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining of the culture media obtained from the cell/scaffold samples subjected to the cyclic strain, revealed increases in the expression and secretion of ECM proteins, such as fibronectin and collagen. These results suggest that the preconditioning of cell/scaffold composites with a cyclic strain may enhance the proliferation of HDFs, and even facilitate integration of the engineered artificial dermal tissue into the host graft site.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biofilm reactors capable of doing high efficiency treatment. Vertical fluidized bed biofilm reactor(VFBBR) and spiral fluidized bed biofilm reactor(SFBBR) was used for their performence in biodegradation of artificial sewage. The factors influencing the efficiency of those reactors were compared with difference of physical condition. They had same size but different structure to gain access of its unique characteristics. When recycle solution with flow rate of 22 mL/min and artificial sewage with flow rate of 2~10 mL/min were fed into two reactors in aerobic state, the average $COD_{cr}$, removal rate for biodegradation of SFBBR was greater than VFBBR. After reactor feed sewage was constantly maintained as flow rate of 4 mL/min and the recycle solution were changed to 10~32 mL/min respectively, the average $COD_{cr}$ removal rate of artificial sewage in SFBBR was greater than VFBBR. In this experiment for addition of support media into two reactors SFBBR was 4.1% excellent than VFBBR. Above all, SFBBR excelled VFBBR in boidegradation of organic matter in sewage.

In this paper, we propose a method of image-based three-dimensional modeling for realistic facial expression. In the proposed method, real human facial images are used to deform a generic three-dimensional mesh model and the deformed model is animated to generate facial expression animation. First, we take several pictures of the same person from several view angles. Then we project a three-dimensional face model onto the plane of each facial image and match the projected model with each image. The results are combined to generate a deformed three-dimensional model. We use the feature-based image metamorphosis to match the projected models with images. We then create a synthetic image from the two-dimensional images of a specific person's face. This synthetic image is texture-mapped to the cylindrical projection of the three-dimensional model. We also propose a muscle-based animation technique to generate realistic facial expression animations. This method facilitates the control of the animation. lastly, we show the animation results of the six represenative facial expressions.

In the area of artificial photosynthesis, particularly for the generation of hydrogen form water, much attention has been paid on organic-inorganic hybrid system. Most of all, a dye/TiO2-combined system has been suggested and its potential utility was well manifested. However, due to its complicated nature of charge interactions in between dye and TiO2 -interface there remains a great challenge to establish the charge-activity relationship, per se light driven charge generation and recombination kinetics with respect to the amount of hydrogen produced. Further complexity of that hybrid system has been witnessed when sacrificial donor and aqueous media are considered. To unveil the operating mechanism on such a dye/TiO2-combined system, we have prepared organic dyes suitable to account for the effect of sacrificial donor as well as water interactions, and prepared the typical dye-grafted TiO2 films to investigate charge-activity relationship. Femtosecond flash photolysis clearly defined the dye effects anchored on to the TiO2 platform. In addition, photodynamic data contemplated well to the dye orientation proposed by the DFT calculations. Recent findings provide fundamental understanding on the dye-grafted TiO2 system and establish a firm background how future dye-sensitized organic-inorganic hybrid system can be designed for the light driven hydrogen generation from water.
