Extensible Markup Language(XML) is fast emerging as the dominant standard for representing data in the World Wide Web. Sophisticated query engines that allow users to effectively tap the data stored in XML documents will be crucial to exploiting the full power of XML. While there has been a great deal of activity recently proposing new semi-structured data models and query languages for this purpose, this paper explores the more conservative approach of using traditional relational database engines for processing XML documents conforming to Document Type Descriptors(DTDs). In this paper, we describe how to generate relational schemas from XML DTDs. The main issues that must be addressed inc]ode (a) dealing with the complexity of DTD element specifications (b) resolving the conflict between the two-level nature of relational schemas (table and attribute) vs. the arbitrary nesting of XML DTD schemas and (c) dealing with set-valued attributes and recursion. We now propose a set of transformations that can be used to "simplify" any arbitrary DTD without undermining the effectiveness of queries over documents conforming to that DTD.

본 논문에서는 DSP Group사의 16 비트 고정 소수점 DSP인 OaKDSP Core를 사용하여 유럽의 이동통신에서 표준으로 사용되고 있는 음성 부호화기 알고리즘인 GSM-EFR (Global System for Mobile communications -Enhanced Full Rate) 을 실시간으로 구현하였다. 구현된GSM-EFR 음성 부호화기의 계산량은 약 24 MIPS가 소요되며, 7.06K 워드의 코드 메모리와 12.19K 워드의 데이터 메모리를 사용하였다. 구현된 음성 부호화기는 ETSI에서 제공하는 시험 벡터 샘플을 모두 통과하였으며, 객관적 평가 툴을 이용하여 지각 평가를 수행한 결과, 32kbps ADPCM과 비슷한 음질을 보였다. 본 논문에서 실시간으로 구현된 GSM-EFR 음성 부호화기는 IMT2000 비동기 방식의 음성 부호화기 표준인 GSM-AMR의 최상위 전송률 모드로서. 앞으로 IMT-2000 비동기식 단말기용 모뎀 ASIC에 탑재할 GSM-AMR 음성부호화기의 구현을 위한 기본 구조로 이용될 예정이다.

본 논문에서는 영상검색 기법에서 핵심인 Shot Change Detection 과 Non Linear Browsing 을 H/W기반으로 구현하여, S/W 적으로는 비실시간으로만 가능하였던 video indexing 을 DTV 에 적용하여 실시간으로 구현하는 방법을 제시한다. 이를 위해 H/W part 는 실시간으로 들어오는 방송용 MPEG-2 bitstream 을 full decoding 이 아닌 최소화된 VLD(Variable Length Decoding) 수준의 parsing 으로 picture 내의 luminance와 chrominance 의 DC 값, macroblock type, motion vector 정보를 얻어내어 각각의 histogram을 계산하여 memory interface를 통해 S/W 측에 넘겨주게 되고 S/W 는 각 상황에 맞게 indexing algorithm 을 변화시키며 최적의 video indexing 방법으로 확장할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 논문은 전탐색 블럭매칭 움직임추정 VLSI 구조에서 클럭당 두연산(하나는 클럭의 상향에지, 하나는 하향에지에서 동작)을 수행하는 PE(Processing Element)를 교번적으로 결선, 클럭의 상향에지는 물론 하향에지에서도 동작하도록 하는 방식으로 클럭 사이클수를 줄이는 VLSI 구조를 제안한다 기존 구조에 그대로 적용되는 본 방법은 공급 데이타폭이 2 배, PE 의 HW 복잡도가 1.5 배 절대차 합 연산의 복잡도가 2 배로 늘어나 전체 하드웨어가 복잡해지나, PE수를 2배로 하여 클럭사이클수를 줄이는 방법에 비해서는 매우 효율적이다. 본 제안 구조는 계층적 움직임 추정 알고리듬을 사용한 MPEG-2 움직임 추정기 개발의 설계에 적용하여 기능과 HW 복잡도를 확인하였다.

Recently, the use of color data is growing fast in the area of image processing. To represent full resolution image on a limited output device, image has to be quantized an dithered. So, many dithering techniques are foundd in the printing. In this paper, we propose nonlinear quantization to consider the overlapping phenomena of neighboring printing dots and modified dot diffusion algorithm to compensate the color degradation produced in the quantization process. In the modified dot-diffusion quantization errors to be diffused are adjusted to improve both image blur and color change produced in the dot diffusion. The printed image obtained by the proposed color dithering method has higher visual quality an less color degradation than the images by conventional printing method.

In this paper, we propose the method that extracts the speech feature using the hearing model through signal precessing techniques. The proposed method includes following procedure ; normalization of the short-time speech block by its maximum value, multi-resolution analysis using the discrete wavelet transformation and re-synthesize using thediscrete inverse wavelet transformation, differentiation after analysis and synthesis, full wave rectification and integration. In order to verify the performance of the proposed speech feature in the speech recognition task, korean digita recognition experiments were carried out using both the dTW and the VQ-HMM. The results showed that, in case of using dTW, the recognition rates were 99.79% and 90.33% for speaker-dependent and speaker-independent task respectively and, in case of using VQ-HMM, the rate were 96.5% and 81.5% respectively. And it indicates that the proposed speech feature has the potentials to use as a simple and efficient feature for recognition task.

The present study introduces a new cortical patch-based source model for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging to consider anatomical constraints more precisely. Conventional source models for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging have used coarse cortical surface mesh or sampled small number of vertices from fine surface mesh, and thus they failed to utilize full anatomical information which nowadays we can get with sub-millimeter modeling accuracy. Conventional ones placed a single dipolar source on each cortical patch and estimated its intensity by means of various inverse algorithms; whereas the suggested cortical patch-based model integrates whole cortical area to construct lead field matrix and estimates current density that is assumed to be constant in each cortical patch. We applied the proposed and conventional models to realistic EEG data and compared the results quantitatively. The quantitative comparisons showed that the proposed model can provide more precise spatial descriptions of neuronal source distribution.

In this cross-national analysis of commercials for young children, 58 commercials were from KBS 2 in S. Korea, 51 from Nickelodeon, USA, and 69 from CTV, Taiwan, totaling 178 commercials. Differences between countries were that foods and beverages were mainly advertised in S. Korean and Taiwanese while a full range of items were evenly displayed in American commercials, and American commercials used more ordinary people in casting. Fantastic and realistic atmospheres were typical of S. Korean, realistic and explanatory of American, and explanatory of Taiwanese commercials. The commercials rarely showed an aesthetic sense or creative thinking, and the use of abusive language and aggression was ubiquitous, while some deviant behavior was also portrayed. The commercials often failed to provide useful information, and they stimulated customers to have unrealistic expectations.

This paper proposes an e-business maturity model for small and medium-sized enterprises. The model consists of five maturity levels, which are on-line access, on-line business, matured on-line business, and full on-line business from least matured level to most matured level. The model can be used to assess e-business maturity level of individual enterprises. individual enterprise's maturity level can be assessed by examining sample check lists. Additionally, this paper summarizes the results of an application of the proposed model to a couple of small and medium-sized enterprises. This model can also be used to suggest what individual enterprises need to be upgraded towards higher maturity level.

While most patients undergo orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes, aesthetic improvements are most often followed by postoperative functional complications. Therefore, patients must carefully decide whether their purpose of undergoing orthognathic surgery lies on the aesthetic side or the functional side. There is a wide variety of complications associated with orthognathic surgery. There should be a clear distinction between malpractice and complications. Complications can be resolved without any serious problems if the cause is detected early and adequate treatment provided. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must have a full understanding of the types, causes, and treatment of complications, and should deliver this information to patients who develop these complications.
