The communication method between human and robot is one of the important parts for a human-robot interaction. And speech is easy and intuitive communication method for human-being. By using speech as a communication method for robot, we can use robot as familiar way. In this paper, we developed TTS for human-robot interaction. Synthesis algorithms were modified for an efficient utilization of restricted resource in robot. And synthesis database were reconstructed for an efficiency. As a result, we could reduce the computation time with slight degradation of the speech quality.

DNA repair means a collection of processes that a cell identifies and corrects damage to genome sequence. The DNA repair processes are important because a genome would not be able to maintain its essential cellular functions without the processes. In this research, we make some gene regulatory networks of DNA repair in S. cerevisiae to know how each gene interacts with others. Two approaches are adapted to make the networks; Bayesian Network and ARACNE. After construction of gene regulatory networks based on the two approaches, the two networks are compared to each other to predict which genes have important roles in the DNA repair processes by finding conserved interactions and looking for hubs. In addition, each interaction between genes in the networks is validated with interaction information in S. cerevisiae genome database to support the meaning of predicted interactions in the networks.

The success of Nintendo's Wii has changed the paradigm of console game. Existing games and consoles set up the game-playing system of complicated commands, narratives, and significantly advanced the degree of difficulty by the device's excellent capacity and the superiority of graphic in order to draw so called "Game Manias", while Nintendo established the easy game-playing system for not only game manias but women and elderly people. Such an innovation has carried out the most important role for Nintendo to dominate the market all over the world by 47.4% market share of consoles. In addition, it provided the users with unique interaction and emotional experience. In this study, we analyze the case above in terms of product design strategy, particularly emotional design strategy between Nintendo & Sony.

A continuous type side jet controller which has four nozzles with thrust control devices was considered. It is deployed to a missile for high maneuverability and fast controllability in the terminal guidance phase. However, it causes more complex aerodynamic jet interactions between the side jet and the supersonic free stream than does the conventional impulse type side jet with a small single thruster. In this paper, a numerical investigation of the jet interference effects for the missile equipped with a continuous type side jet thruster is presented. A three-dimensional flow field was simulated by using a commercial unstructured-based CFD solver. The numerical simulation method was validated through comparison with wind tunnel test results for the single jet. The method of defining jet direction for this type of side jet control to minimize simulation cases was also introduced. Flow fields investigation and jet interaction effects for various flow conditions, jet pressure ratios and defined jet direction conditions were performed. From the numerical simulation for the continuous type side jet, extensive aerodynamic interference data were obtained to construct an aerodynamic coefficients database for precise missile control.

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework to predict the interaction probability of proteins. The notion of domain combination and domain combination pair is newly introduced and the prediction model in the framework takes domain combination pair as a basic unit of protein interactions to overcome the limitations of the conventional domain pair based prediction systems. The framework largely consists of prediction preparation and service stages. In the prediction preparation stage, two appearance pro-bability matrices, which hold information on appearance frequencies of domain combination pairs in the interacting and non-interacting sets of protein pairs, are constructed. Based on the appearance probability matrix, a probability equation is devised. The equation maps a protein pair to a real number in the range of 0 to 1. Two distributions of interacting and non-interacting set of protein pairs are obtained using the equation. In the prediction service stage, the interaction probability of a protein pair is predicted using the distributions and the equation. The validity of the prediction model is evaluated fur the interacting set of protein pairs in Yeast organism and artificially generated non-interacting set of protein pairs. When 80% of the set of interacting protein pairs in DIP database are used as foaming set of interacting protein pairs, very high sensitivity(86%) and specificity(56%) are achieved within our framework.

This study tried to describe how to give learners a quick response and to relieve instructors from burdens of answering questions. It adds more dynamic functions to Question and Answer Bulletin Board System, which plays an important role in the interaction of web-based instruction. It also causes increasing enhancements of interaction on web-based instruction. The Implemented Dynamic Question and Answer Bulletin Board System supplemented the defects of the established Q&A, in which learners should wait for answers until instructors checked questions and gave their replies. This new system enabled students to receive prompt answers by using the answer database which instructors had already installed with the result examined by internet searching engines.

Visualization of the homology information is an important method to analyze the evolutionary and functional meanings of genes. With a database containing model genomes of Homo sapiens, Mus muculus, and Rattus norvegicus, we constructed a web­based comparative analysis tool, BioCovi, to visualize the homology information of mammalian sequences on a very large scale. The user interface has several features: it marks regions whose identity is greater than that specified, it shows or hides gaps from the result of global sequence alignment, and it inverts the graph when total identity is higher than the threshold specified.

In this paper, we represent the recognition method for human frontal upper body pose. In HCI(Human Computer Interaction) and HRI(Human Robot Interaction) when a interaction is established the human has usually frontal direction to the robot or computer and use hand gestures then we decide to focus on human frontal upper-body pose, The two main difficulties are firstly human pose is consist of many parts which cause high DOF(Degree Of Freedom) then the modeling of human pose is difficult. Secondly the matching between image features and modeling information is difficult. Then using Pictorial Model we model the human main poses which are mainly took the space of frontal upper-body poses and we recognize the main poses by making main pose database. using determined main pose we used the model parameters for particle filter which predicts the posterior distribution for pose parameters and can determine more specific pose by updating model parameters from the particle having the maximum likelihood. Therefore based on recognizing main poses and tracking the specific pose we recognize the human frontal upper body poses.

Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) claims database has a high potential to detect signals of new drug interactions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of information component (IC) and relative risk (RR) as a tool for signal detection, and to analyze the possible drug interactions caused by clopidogrel using HIRA claims database. This study was performed in elderly patients over 65 years of age who administered clopidogrel from January 2005 to June 2006 in South Korea. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) as drug interactions of clopidogrel were defined as any ambulatory hospitalization for ischemic diseases within comcomitant medication period of clopidogrel. Information Component (IC) and Relative Risk (RR) were calculated to compare the proportion of drug-SAE pairs in order to select drug specific SAEs. IC and RR signals of clopidogrel drug interaction were screened when IC's 95% confidence interval was greater than 0 and RR's 95% confidence interval was greater than 1 respectively. All detected signals were compared to references such as $Micromedex^{(R)}$ and 2010 Drug Interaction $Facts^{TM}$. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predicted value and negative predicted value were used to evaluate usefulness of this method. Among 13,252,930 cases of elderly patients who co-administered clopidogrel and other drugs, 47,485 cases were detected as SAE. Of these, one-hundred nine cases were detected by the IC-based data-mining approach and ninety one cases were detected by the RR-based data-mining approach. Total One-hundred sixty three unrecognized signals were detected by IC or RR. Twelve signals from IC-based data-mining (57.1%) were corresponded with drug interactions from references and eight signals from RR-based data-mining (38.1%) were corresponded with drug interactions from references. These signals include proton pump inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and HMG CoA reductase Inhibitors, which were known to affect CYP450 metabolism. Further studies using HIRA claims database are necessary to develop appropriate data-mining measure.
