Dynamic deflection monitoring is an essential and critical part of structural health monitoring for high-speed railway bridges. Two critical problems need to be addressed when using inclinometer sensors for such applications. These include constructing a general representation model of inclination-deflection and addressing the ill-posed inverse problem to obtain the accurate dynamic deflection. This paper provides a dynamic deflection monitoring method with the placement of optimal inclinometer sensors for high-speed railway bridges. The deflection shapes are reconstructed using the inclination-deflection transformation model based on the differential relationship between the inclination and displacement mode shape matrix. The proposed optimal sensor configuration can be used to select inclination-deflection transformation models that meet the required accuracy and stability from all possible sensor locations. In this study, the condition number and information entropy are employed to measure the ill-condition of the selected mode shape matrix and evaluate the prediction performance of different sensor configurations. The particle swarm optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm, and artificial fish swarm algorithm are used to optimize the sensor position placement. Numerical simulation and experimental validation results of a 5-span high-speed railway bridge show that the reconstructed deflection shapes agree well with those of the real bridge.

Water body extraction based on backscatter information is an essential process to analyze floodaffected areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image. Water body in SAR image tends to have low backscatter values due to homogeneous surface of water, while non-water body has higher backscatter values than water body. Non-water body, however, may also have low backscatter values in high resolution SAR image such as Kompsat-5 image, depending on surface characteristic of the ground. The objective of this paper is to present a method to increase backscatter contrast between water body and non-water body and also to remove efficiently misclassified pixels beyond true water body area. We create an entropy image using a Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and classify the entropy image into water body and non-water body pixels by thresholding of the entropy image. In order to reduce the effect of threshold value, we also propose Water Body Texture Index (WBTI), which measures simultaneously the occurrence of repeated water body pixel pair and the uniformity of water body in the binary entropy image. The proposed method produced high overall accuracy of 99.00% and Kappa coefficient of 90.38% in water body extraction using Kompsat-5 image. The accuracy analysis indicates that the proposed WBTI method is less affected by the choice of threshold value and successfully maintains high overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient in wide threshold range.

We have developed technology to fabricate large-size active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays with good color purity. Using these innovations, we have developed a 40inch diagonal WXGA AMOLED full color display. Because the TFT circuitry occupies a large portion of the pixel structure, an efficient white emission OLED is essential to integrate the device onto the active matrix backplane. The development of these technologies enables OLED displays to fulfill the requirements for larger size applications such as HDTVs

선박에서 승조원 및 승객들의 안락함을 위하여 격실내의 공기중 소음을 감소시키는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 선박의 주동력기관 및 주변기기로 부터 발생되는 공기중 소음의 효과적인 차폐를 목적으로, 공명기 원리를 적용하여 고안된 다층패널의 공기중 소음 전달손실(transmission loss) 특성을 이론적으로 예측할 수 있는 해석법을 전달 매트릭스(transfer matrix)기법을 이용하여 도출하였다. 또한, 모형에 대한 음향실험을 통하여 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였고 이에 따라 다층 패널의 설계인자 변화에 따른 전달손실 변화 특성을 이론적으로 고찰하였다. 연구결과, 공명기를 내장한 다층패널은 재래의 음향격벽구조에 비해 뛰어난 음향차폐 성능을 가지며 구조의 경량화가 가능함이 확인되었다.

Detection of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remains essential for the development of therapies against diseases. Experimental studies to detect PPI are longer and more expensive. Today, with the availability of PPI data, several computer models for predicting PPIs have been proposed. One of the big challenges in this task is feature extraction. The relevance of the information extracted by some extraction techniques remains limited. In this work, we first propose an extraction method based on correlation relationships between the physicochemical properties of amino acids. The proposed method uses a correlation matrix obtained from the hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity properties that it then integrates in the calculation of the bigram. Then, we use the SVM algorithm to detect the presence of an interaction between 2 given proteins. Experimental results show that the proposed method obtains better performances compared to the approaches in the literature. It obtains performances of 94.75% in accuracy, 95.12% in precision and 96% in sensitivity on human HPRD protein data.

Background: This study aims to introduce the formulation of the regulation for the selection of respirators for accident preparedness chemicals (APCs) according to chemical workplace situations and to determine on-site applicability. Methods: Workplaces were grouped into seven work categories, and APCs were classified into six groups to select adequate respirators. A survey was conducted to enhance the understanding of work situations and adequate respirators. The total number of subjects surveyed in 2018 was 201 managers and handlers, and that in 2019 was 91 handlers and 204 managers. Results: Adequate respirators were allocated to each cell using the matrix method. The study observed an overall lack of understanding of work situations, especially in the operation of open devices, which was the highest at 32.7%. Despite its implementation in 2015, 17.6% and 25.0% of the managers and APCs handlers, respectively, were unaware of the regulations for selecting respirators. Only 70.4% of the APCs handler wore respirators in compliance with regulations. Conclusion: The method for selecting respirators according to work situations using the matrix method is considered reasonable. Thus, this study suggests that the development of educational contents and reinforcing education should be essential steps to increasing awareness of regulations.

The objective of this paper is to present free vibration and static stability analyses of rotating composite beams reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under uniform thermal loads. Beam structural equations and CNT-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beam formulations are derived based on Timoshenko beam theory (TBT). The temperature-dependent properties of the beam material, such as the elastic modulus, shear modulus, and material density, are assumed to vary over the thickness according to the rule of mixture. The beam material is modeled as a mixture of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an isotropic matrix. The SWCNTs are aligned and distributed in the isotropic matrix with different patterns of reinforcement, namely the UD (uniform), FG-O, FG-V, FG- Λ and FG-X distributions, where FG-V and FG- Λ are asymmetric patterns. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effects of several essential parameters, including the rotational speed, hub radius, effective material properties, slenderness ratio, boundary conditions, thermal force, and moments due to temperature variation. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first attempt at the finite element modeling of rotating CNTRC Timoshenko beams under a thermal environment. The results are presented in tables and figures for both symmetric and asymmetric distribution patterns, and can be used as benchmarks for further validation.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)는 세포외골격의 주요 조절효소로, 배아발생, 혈관생성, 상처치료 및 조직 재생과정에 중요한 인자로 알려져 있다. MMP의 조절 이상은 비정상적 세포외골격 분해로 인해 암 전이와 같은 질병을 일으킨다. 따라서, MMP의 발현과 활성은 엄격하게 조절되고 있다. 최근, 초파리 Mmp1이 소화기관에서 강하게 발현되며, 장줄기세포의 비정상적인 활성을 억제하여 장의 항상성 유지에 중요함을 밝혔다. 하지만, 장조직에서 Mmp1의 발현 조절 기전은 아직 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는, 장조직에서 Mmp1의 발현이 장 발생과 항상성 유지에 중요한 Caudal homeobox 유전자에 의해 조절되는지를 연구하였다. GAL4/UAS 조절계를 이용하여 장조직 특이적으로 Caudal의 발현을 감소시켰을 때, Mmp1의 발현이 감소함을 확인하였으며, Caudal을 과발현 시켰을 때, Mmp1의 발현이 증가함을 in vitro와 in vivo 실험 모두에서 확인하였다. 또한, Mmp1 promoter에 Caudal 전사인자 결합 부위가 존재하며, 이 부위가 Mmp1 발현에 중요한 역할을 함을 확인하였다. 이상의 본 연구는, 정상적 혹은 암화 과정에서 Mmp1이 Caudal의 표적 유전자일 수 있음을 의미한다.

지표 및 심토환경에서 물과 용액의 유동특성을 파악하는 것은 토양 및 지하수의 오염을 저감하고 방지하거나 기 오염 지역을 조사하고 정화하는데 있어서 필수적인 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 이 비형광, 비독성의 식용색소인 청색1호(Brilliant Blue FCF, $C_{37}H_{34}N_{2}Na_{2}O_{9}S_{3}$)를 염료 추적자로 이용하여 화강암에서 발달된 잔적토양에서의 침투 유형 및 그 특성을 조사하였다. 디지털 촬영된 수직 및 수평 착색영상은 지형정보 영상처리 프로그램인 ER Mapper, Version6.2를 이용하여 염료착색범위(dye coverage)로 전환되었다. 균질기반유동(homogeneous matrix flow)은 미약 입상 구조를 보이는 A 층위에서 발생하였으며, 상대적으로 세립조직인 A층위와 조립조직인 C층위의 경계에서는 선침투류(先浸透流, fingering)의 특징을 보여주었다. 모암인 화강암 조직의 기원인 거정질 광맥(pegmatitic vein)과 식물 뿌리는 C 층위에서 선택적 유동(preferential flow)을 유도하였음을 확인하였다.
