We employed dual color Fluorescence Cross Correlation Spectroscopy (FCCS) to measure the interaction between PKA regulatory (RII) and catalytic subunits (CAT) in living cells. Elevation of intracellular cAMP with forskolin decreased the cross-correlation amplitude between RFP-fused RII (RII -mRFP) and GFP-fused CAT (CAT-EGFP) by 50%, indicating that cAMP elevation leads to dissociation of RII-CAT complexes. Moreover, diffusion coefficient analysis showed that the diffusion rate of CAT-EGFP was significantly increased, suggesting that the decreased RII-CAT association caused by cAMP generated free CAT subunits. Our study demonstrates that in vivo FCCS measurements and their quantitative analysis permit one not only to directly quantify protein-protein interactions but also to estimate changes in the intracellular cAMP concentration.

Generally, in the best-known Pulse-type type and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FM/CW)-type RF range measurement systems, the nearest measurable distance between antenna of system and targets is limited to several tens of meters. Moreover, in case of high-speed targets it is more difficult to measure the distance precisely. In this paper we design our own RF(X-band) range(up to 15 meters) measurement system usi code correlation for high- speed targets. It 0 the correlation value between transmitting receiving PN (Pseudo -Noise) codes. So we determine the distance between antenna of s and targets using this correlation value. We fabricated it using MIC techniques and experimental results show that the proposed syste fully qualified for a short range measurement syste

The purpose of this study was to assess the intra-tester and inter-tester reliability and validity of elbow flexion range of motion using a smart phone used by the general public. Thirty-one general people participated in this study. The range of motion in active elbow flexion was measured with a goniometer and smart phone over two times by two observers. The intra-taster and inter-tester reliability were evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC). The validity was measured by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The intra-observer reliability was good in all measured items ICC>0.900. The inter-observer reliability was high with ICC>0.806. All correlation coefficients of android app and goniometer were greater than 0.868 and showed a significant positive correlation (p<0.01). The range of motion measurement with a smart phone showed acceptable reliability. Therefore, using a smartphone to measure the range of motion of the elbow joint could provide convenience and economic benefits.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the measuring range of portfolio assessment on students' abilities, using correlation coefficients of portfolio assessment with four other assessment methods. A portfolio system was developed based on low units of elementary fourth grade science, and applied to three fourth-grade science classes in Daejeon Metropolitan area and Gyunggi-do. Four different assessment methods, multiple-choice (short answer type), essay-type item, mind-mapping and laboratory assessment were also administered and scored by two elementary teachers attending graduate school. Correlation coefficients between portfolio assessment and four assessment methods were calculated with SPSS. Portfolio assessment showed moderate correlation with multiplechoice (short answer), essay-type, and mind-mapping, and low correlation with laboratory assessment. Portfolio assessment showed high correlation with multiple-choice assessment in 'understanding' and 'application' domains, but showed low correlation in 'recall' and 'inquiry' domains. In conclusion, portfolio assessment could measure various abilities measured by other assessment methods.

In this paper, a new no-reference sharpness measure using frequency domain coefficients is proposed. Although most existing sharpness measures used pixel intensity to compute the blur degree, the proposed sharpness measure computes the sharpness using frequency coefficients. To assess the perceived sharpness of a given image, the image is re-blurred by a Gaussian low pass filter and a new quality measure function was defined using the frequency domain coefficients of the given image and the re-blurred image. To evaluate the proposed algorithms, TID2008 quality assessment database was used. Experimental results show that the proposed quality assessment method showed high correlation with the subjective scores.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between mothers' bsex-role attitudes and child-rearing values of independence granting and pressure for achievement, and also to examine variations in mothers' attitudes by sex of child. The subjects of this study were 260 mothers of preschool girls and boys. They were middle and high SES class and highly educated. The 20 item version of the Feminism Scale (FEM Scale) was used to measure mothers 'attitudes toward women's sex-role ideology. The Korean Sex-Trait Stereotype Measure was used to measure the mothers' sex-perception of masculinity and feminity. The 5-item translated Barnett Independence Granting Scale was used to measure independence granting. The 7-item version of the Barnett Pressure for Achievement Scale was used to measure mothers' pressure on their children for achievement. Data analysis consisted of Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and t-test. The results were: 1. Mothers' nontraditional sex-role ideology was significantly related to lower mean age of independence granting and to pressure for achievement. 2. Two self-perception scores (self-masculine and self-feminine) were not related to mean age of independence granting but were significant1y related to pressure for achievement. 3. The mean age of independence granting was lower for sons than for daughters. 4. Mothers put more pressure for achievement on sons than on daughters.

Measuring similarity in collaborative filtering-based recommender systems greatly affects system performance. This is because items are recommended from other similar users. In order to overcome the biggest problem of traditional similarity measures, i.e., data sparsity problem, this study suggests a new similarity measure that is the optimal combination of previous similarity and the value reflecting the number of co-rated items. We conducted experiments with various conditions to evaluate performance of the proposed measure. As a result, the proposed measure yielded much better performance than previous ones in terms of prediction qualities, specifically the maximum of about 7% improvement over the traditional Pearson correlation and about 4% over the cosine similarity.

Let T > 0 be given. Let $(C[0,T],m_{\varphi})$ be the analogue of Wiener measure space, associated with the Borel proba-bility measure ${\varphi}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}$, let $(L_{2}[0,T],\tilde{\omega})$ be the centered Gaussian measure space with the correlation operator $(-\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}})^{-1}$ and ${\el}_2,\;\tilde{m}$ be the abstract Wiener measure space. Let U be the space of all sequence $<c_{n}>$ in ${\el}_{2}$ such that the limit $lim_{{m}{\rightarrow}\infty}\;\frac{1}{m+1}\;\sum{^{m}}{_{n=0}}\;\sum_{k=0}^{n}\;c_{k}\;cos\;\frac{k{\pi}t}{T}$ converges uniformly on [0,T] and give a set function m such that for any Borel subset G of $\el_2$, $m(\mathcal{U}\cap\;P_{0}^{-1}\;o\;P_{0}(G))\;=\tilde{m}(P_{0}^{-1}\;o\;P_{0}(G))$. The goal of this note is to study the relationship among the measures $m_{\varphi},\;\tilde{\omega},\;\tilde{m}$ and $m$.

This paper addresses a blind estimation and classification algorithm of the speech compression methods by using analysis on the structure of compressed bitstreams. Various speech compression methods including vocoders are developed in order to transmit or store the speech signals at very low bitrates. As a key feature, the vocoders contain the block structure inevitably. In classification of each compression method, we use the Measure of Inter-Block Correlation (MIBC) to check whether the bitstream includes the block structure or not, and to estimate the block length. Moreover, for the compression methods with the same block length, the proposed algorithm estimates the corresponding compression method correctly by using that each compression method has different correlation characteristics in each bit location. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm classifies the speech compression methods robustly for various types and lengths of speech signals in noisy environment.
