A reversible data hiding scheme in JPEG compressed bitstreams is proposed, which could avoid decoding failure and file expansion by means of removing of bitstreams corresponding to high frequency coefficients and embedding of secret data in file header as comment part. We decode original JPEG images to quantified 8×8 DCT blocks, and search for a high frequency as an optimal termination point, beyond which the coefficients are set to zero. These blocks are separated into two parts so that termination point in the latter part is slightly smaller to make the whole blocks available in substitution. Then spare space is reserved to insert secret data after comment marker so that data extraction is independent of recovery in receiver. Marked images can be displayed normally such that it is difficult to distinguish deviation by human eyes. Termination point is adaptive for variation in secret size. A secret size below 500 bits produces a negligible distortion and a PSNR of approximately 50 dB, while PSNR is also mostly larger than 30 dB for a secret size up to 25000 bits. The experimental results show that the proposed technique exhibits significant advantages in computational complexity and preservation of file size for small hiding capacity, compared to previous methods.

DC high-temperature superconducting(HTS) cable system has attracted a great deal of interest from the view point of low loss, dense structure and large capacity. A HTS cable system is made of cable and termination. The insulating materials and insulation technology must be solved for the long life, reliability and compact of cable system. In this paper, we will report on the dielectric breakdown characteristics of insulating materials for HTS cable and termination. The AC, DC and lightning impulse breakdown strength of laminated polypropylene paper(PPLP) and glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) have been measured under nitrogen pressures in the range of 0.l-0.4MPa. PPLP and GFRP are found to have a significantly higher DC breakdown strength. Also, DC surface flashover voltage of negative polarity is slightly higher than that of positive polarity in GFRP.

This paper describes a SiGe HBT low noise amplifier (LNA) design for IMT-2000 mobile applications. This LNA is optimized for linearity in consideration of the out-of-band-termination capacitance. This LNA yields a noise figure of 1.2 dB, 16 dB gain, an input return loss of 11 dB, and an output return loss of 14.3 dB over the desired frequency range (2.11-2.17 GHz). When the RF input power is -2i dBm, the input third order intercept point (IIP3) of 8.415 dBm and the output third order intercept point (OIP3) of 24.415 dBm are achieved.

The flight safety system for the satellite launch vehicles is required in order to minimize the risk due to launch vehicle failure. For prompt and reliable decision of flight termination, the flight safety system usually uses multiple sensors to estimate launch vehicle's flight trajectory. In that case, multiple types of observed tracking data makes it difficult to identify the flight termination condition. Therefore, a fusion tracking filter handling the multiple tracking data is necessary for the flight safety system. This research developed a simulation software for generating multiple types of launch vehicle tracking data, and then processed the data with fusion filters.

When a feasible solution approaches to the optimal extreme point in Karmakar's algorithm, components of the search direction vector for a solution converge at a certain value according to the corresponding columns of the optimal basis and the optimal nonbasis. By using this convergence properties of Karmarkar's algorithm, we can identify columns of the optimal basis before the final stage of the algorithm. The complexity of Karmarker's algorithm with newly proposed termination criterion does not increase. A numerical experiments for the problems which were generated by random numbers are also illustrated. Experimental results show that the number of iterations required for determining columns of the optimal basis depends on problems. For all cases, however, columns of the optimal basis are exactly verified when this termination criterion is used.

The one of the commonly reported failure mode of the RC beam strengthened with FRP was caused by the separation of the concrete cover, so called delamination. Therefore, ACI440 recommended that concrete cover delamination can be prevented in strengthened beams if bond length of FRP composite be exteneded over a point of cracking moment. In this study, the failure mode and the flexural performance of RC beam with different bond length of FRP are estimated. Each bonded length is calculated based on the point of cracking moment with addition or subtraction of specific length(=150mm). The results of this study show that mid-span debonding occurs in the specimen strengthened with CFRP strips which are bonded over the point of cracking moment, while concrete cover deliamination occurs at the termination point of CFRP in the specimen with less bonded length than the point of cracking moment region.

Different types of fingerprint detection algorithms that are based on extraction of minutiae points are prevalent in recent literature. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to locate the virtual core point/centroid of an image. The Euclidean distance between the virtual core point and the minutiae points is taken as a random variable. The mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis of the random variable are taken as the statistical parameters of the image to observe the similarities or dissimilarities among fingerprints from the same or different persons. Finally, we verified our observations with a moment parameter-based analysis of some previous works.

Bacillus thurintensis subsp. kurstaki HD1 살충성 단백질 ICP 유전자가 있는 NdeI 단편 3.856 kb를 클로닝하여 제조한 pHLN2-80(-) 클론이 pHLN1-80(-)에 비해서 대장균에서 ICP발현량이 과다발현되는 현상을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 상기의 pHLN2-80(+) 클론의 발현량을 조절하는 원인을 규명하기 위하여 ICP의 아미노산 서열은 변화되지 않는 범위 내에서 pHLN1-80(+) 클론에 있는 Plac프로모터와 ICP유전자 프로모터의 일부인 -80 bp프로모터의 염기서열, 전사 개시점과 종결부위의 변이가 ICP유전자발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. pHLN1-80(+)에 5'-말단에 존재하는 -80 bp 프로모터만을 보유한 pHLNK-80 클론은 ICP 생산은 매우 저조하였다. Plac프로모터와 -80 bp 프로모터의 구조 골격을 일부 변이 시킨 pHLNF1-80클론의 ICP생산량은 pHLN2-80(-)가 생산한 양보다는 낮아서 과다발현이 안되었다. Plac프로모터 상류를 약 350bp을 제거하여 만든 클론 pHLND2-80의 ICP 생산량은 모클론인 pHLN2-80(-) 보다 매우 높게 과다발현 되었다. ICP 유전자의 과다발현 현상에 대한 전사 개시점과 전사종결 부위의 역할을 알아보기 위해서 -72bp ICP유전자프로모터를 갖는 클론 pHLD1-72는 재조합 클론 pHLN2-80(-)가 생산한 양보다 적은 양의 ICP을 생성하였고, 클론 pHLD2-72는 재조합 클론 pHLN2-80(-)보다 적은 ICP을 발현하여 과다 발현되었으며, 클론 pHLN2-72는 모클론인 pHLN2-80(-)보다 약간 높은 ICP 생산량을 보여 과다발현되었다. 클론 pHLN2-72를증식하여 파쇄액을 만든 후에 Bombyx mori유충에 대한 살충력 검사에서 클론 pHLN2-72이 생산한 ICP는 pHLN1-80(+)이 생산한 ICP보다 약 90배의 살충력을 보였다. SDS-PAGE와 Western blot 분석에서도 클론 pHLN2-72는 재조합 클론 pHLN2-80(-)보다 약간 높게 ICP가 생성이 되었었다. 이상의 결과는 과다발현에 Plac프로모터와 종결부위가 반드시 필요하며, -72 bp ICP 프로모터가 -80 bp 프로모터보다 과다발현률이 높았으며, ICP 유전자는 반드시 Plac프로모터의 전사 방향에 역방향으로 삽입이 되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Objective : Ultrasonography (US) is the most non-invasive, safe, and, especially in the period of infancy, best method for visualizing and examining the spinal cord. Furthermore, US is the primary work-up for development of the spinal canal, and for follow-up on issues relating to subcutaneous tissues, bone development, and the spinal cord. Conus medullaris terminates at the second lumbar vertebra, according to a consensus in the literature. Methods : Healthy children under the age of 6 months who were admitted to the radiology clinic for routine USG follow-ups between the dates of March 2012 to December 2014 were included in this study. Results : Our study includes data from 1125 lumbosacral ultrasounds. The terminal point of the conus level of the attended infants, superior, middle part, inferior of the vertebrae L1, L2, and L3. Furthermore, the termination of the discal distance ratio did not differ significantly between genders. Conclusion : Therefore, according to our results, gender is not an influencing factor in the termination of the spinal cord. Based on the study we performed, as well as the previous literature, in infants without a recognized spinal pathology, the spinal cord is detected below the vertebra L3.
