This study was designed to obtain the information concerning food intake, dietary habits, functional status, health condition and cognitive status of the elderly using public health center in Ulsan area. The subjects of this study consisted 154 elderly persons aged 60~82 years. Interviews were conducted using the health habits and food frequency questionnaires to provide basic information for nutrition education program. We evaluated the current food intake, dietary cholesterol intake (cholesterol index), functional status, cognitive function and blood analysis of the subjects. The results of this study were as follows : Mean age of the subjects was 68.7 $\pm$ 6.7years. The average cognitive status score of the subjects was 7.9 $\pm$ 2.0 (full score was 10.0). Male had a higher cognitive status score than female. There was significant difference between cognitive status score and age, education level, pocket money, physical activity and living condition. The subjects who had a higher cognitive status score ate more fish and meats group and milk and milk products than the subjects had a lower cognitive status score. And hemoglobin level, serum triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index affected to cognitive status while fasting blood glucose and LDL-cholesterol did not any effect on cognitive status. These results have demonstrated that various socioeconomic variables and food intake pattern and nutritional status affect on cognitive status with aging and suggest that proper nutrition education and adequate nutrient intake in quality and quantity are essential in maintaining cognitive status in later life.

The focus of this paper is a proposal for a computationally efficient dynamic subcarrier allocation (DSA) algorithm for orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. The proposed DSA algorithm considerably reduces the computational complexity and the amount of channel quality information (CQI) compared to amplitude craving greedy (ACG) algorithms, which use full CQI. At the same time, the performance of the proposed algorithm closely appear to ACG algorithms. Moreover, the authors present a new bandwidth-assignment algorithm produced by modifying bandwidth assignment based on the signal-to-noise ratio (BABS). This modified BABS algorithm enables the proposed DSA algorithm to produce a strong outage performance gain over the conventional scheme.

The degree of dispersion of a random variable can be described by the variance, which reflects the distance of the random variable from its mean. However, the time complexity of the traditional variance calculation algorithm is O(n), which results from full calculation of all samples. When the number of samples increases or on the occasion of high speed signal processing, algorithms with O(n) time complexity will cost huge amount of time and that may results in performance degradation of the whole system. A novel multi-step recursive algorithm for variance calculation of the time-varying data series with O(1) time complexity (constant time) is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulation and experiments of the algorithm is presented and the results demonstrate that the proposed multi-step recursive algorithm can effectively decrease computing time and hence significantly improve the variance calculation efficiency for time-varying data, which demonstrates the potential value for time-consumption data analysis or high speed signal processing.

본 논문에서는 One-bit 변환을 기반으로 한 고속의 가변 블록 크기 움직임 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 블록 내의 평균값을 이용하여 8bit 화소값을 1bit로 변환한 후 움직임 예측을 수행한다. One-bit 변환을 통한 영상의 단순화는 움직임 추정의 계산적 부담을 감소시켜 빠른 탐색을 가능하게 한다. 그리고 블록 내의 움직임 정도를 미리 판별하여 이를 기반으로 한 적응적 탐색이 불필요한 탐색을 제거하고 움직임이 큰 블록에서는 정합과정을 심화시켜 보다 정확한 움직임 예측을 수행한다. 본 제안된 방식을 가지고 실험한 결과 한 프레임당 적은 수의 블록으로 고정된 크기의 블록을 가진 전역 탐색 블록 정합 알고리즘(full search block matching algorithm; FSBMA)보다 예측 에러를 적게 발생시켜 평균적으로 0.5dB 정도의 PSNR 개선을 가져왔다. 특히, 움직임이 많은 영상에서 뛰어난 효과를 나타냈다.

In the discussion of digital mobile communication systems the speech coder based on the high quality low bit rate is an essential part of topics to overcome the limited availability of radio spectrum, which will enhance the communication services. In this paper we present the implementation and performance evaluation of 13kbps RPE LTP speech coder. An implementation of a real time full duplex coder with 75% of DSP loading rate using a single DSP chip has been shown, and also the fixed point simulations for H/W implementation has been performed. Finally, analysis result for relative bit importance of each transmitting parameter has been shown for channel coding.

The inaccuracy of the bias-dependent gate-drain overlap capacitance $C_{gdo}$ simulation in original BSIM4 and BSIM4 macro model using a diode is analyzed in detail. It is found that the accuracy of the macro model is better than of the BSIM4. However, the macro model cannot be used in the linear region. In order to remove the inaccuracy of the conventional models, a new BSIM4 macro model with a physical bias-dependent $C_{gdo}$ equation is proposed and its accuracy is validated in the full bias range.

In this paper, we propose an novel architecture for H.264 High Profile Encoder Intra Prediction module. This designed module can be operated in 306 cycle for one-macroblock. To verify the Encoder architecture, we developed the reference C from JM 13.2 and verified the our developed hardware using test vector generated by reference C. We adopt plan removal and SAD calculation to reduce the Hardware cost and cycle. The designed circuit can be operated in 133MHz clock system, and has 250K gate counts using TSMC 0.18 um process including SRAM memory.

This paper proposes a new decomposition technique for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. This new decomposition technique is based on the degree of polarization (DoP) and co-polarized phase-difference (CPD) of the measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients. This decomposition technique is compared with the existing three- and four-component decomposition techniques with the ALOS PALSAR full polarimetric L-band data acquired in 2009. It is shown that the new decomposition technique is better or comparable to the existing techniques for the study areas such as sea, bare soil, forest, and urban area.

There has been several meaning full efforts to save costs on system development and expand the life-time of a system in changeful IT circumstance. It was a module-based architecture that empower productivity at structured programming era. But it couldn't grow nor evolve, but could raise only calling frequency of module. But OOP or OO-method overcome limit of structured programing by class inheritance and/or overloading and/or over-riding. A component centric architecture, what is mixture of distributed systems, like CORBA or DCOM with OOP, can support not only high reusability or expansion of life-time but also Plug-&-Play between them. To assemble these component to build a new system in easy way, the well-formed specification of a component is highly required. At this study, the enhanced referential component architecture and its UML specification will be suggested.

In this paper, we present a novel integral imaging pickup method. We extract each pixel's actual depth data from a real object's surface using a depth camera, then generate elemental images based on the depth map. Since the proposed method generates elemental images without a lens array, it has simplified the pickup process and overcome some disadvantages caused by a conventional optical pickup process using a lens array. As a result, we can display a three-dimensional (3D) image in integral imaging. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, an experiment is presented. Though the pickup process has been simplified in the proposed method, the experimental results reveal that it can also display a full motion parallax image the same as the image reconstructed by the conventional method. In addition, if we improve calculation speed, it will be useful in a real-time integral imaging display system.
