Image super-resolution (SR) processing is of great value in the fields of digital image processing, intelligent security, film and television production and so on. This paper proposed a densely connected deep learning network based on cascade architecture, which can be used to solve the problem of super-resolution in the field of image quality enhancement. We proposed a more efficient residual scaling dense block (RSDB) and the multi-channel cascade architecture to realize more efficient feature reuse. Also we proposed a hybrid loss function based on L₁ error and L_∞ error to achieve better L_∞ error performance. The experimental results show that the overall performance of the network is effectively improved on cascade architecture and residual scaling. Compared with the residual dense net (RDN), the PSNR / SSIM of the new method is improved by 2.24% / 1.44% respectively, and the L_∞ performance is improved by 3.64%. It shows that the cascade connection and residual scaling method can effectively realize feature reuse, improving the residual convergence speed and learning efficiency of our network. The L_∞ performance is improved by 11.09% with only a minimal loses of 1.14% / 0.60% on PSNR / SSIM performance after adopting the new loss function. That is to say, the L_∞ performance can be improved greatly on the new loss function with a minor loss of PSNR / SSIM performance, which is of great value in L_∞ error sensitive tasks.

본 논문에서는 NM-MMA (Novel Mixed-Multi Modulus Algorithm) 알고리즘에서 mixed 비용 함수를 얻기 위한 scaling factor값에 의한 적응 등화 성능을 비교하였다. NM-MMA의 mixed 비용 함수는 MMA와 SE-MMA 비용 함수에서 gradient vector를 적절한 scaling factor 가중치 합으로 구성되며, 이를 이용하여 탭 계수 갱신을 하므로서 기존 방식들의 수렴 속도와 MSE양을 개선할 수 있다. 논문에서는 scaling factor를 변화시킬 때 동일한 채널과 스텝 크기 및 신호대 잡음비의 환경에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, MD, MSE 및 SER 성능을 비교하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 결과 MMA 비용 함수의 가중치가 SE-MMA 비용 함수의 가중치보다 큰 경우에는 성능 지수의 잔여량에서 우월하며, 그 반대의 경우 수렴 속도가 개선됨을 확인하였다.

This study presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of nonsurgical subgingival scaling and root planing related to initial pocket depth, type of teeth, and individual root surfaces. A total of 110 teeth designated for periodontal surgery in 67 patients with marginal periodontitis were selected and received thorough scaling and root planing with standard rigid Gracey curettes. After a healing period of 4 to 8 weeks, residual calculus was assessed at the time of periodontal surgery following the reflection of mucoperiosteal flap. The results demonstrated a high correlation between the percentage of residual calculus and initial pocket depth. It was further noted that tooth type and involved root surface also influenced the rate of calculus remnant. The results of this study suggest that complete removal of subgingival calculus utilizing conventional instrumentation via closed approach is rare.

Removal of subgingival calculus is essential for the success in periodontal treatment. Subgingival instrumentation is used for the removal of all bacterial plaque and calculus. In this study, Gracey curet and Ultrasonic curet were used on single rooted teeth to conduct subgingval scaling and root planning. The remaining amount of calculus was evaluated according to type of instrument, depth of pocket, and tooth surface. 24 teeth were extracted from 14 patients being treated at department Periodontology Seoul Advantist dental hospital were used. Total 96 area(4 surface per teeth) were evaluated. 12 teeth treated with Gracey curet were used as the control group and the other 12 teeth treated with Ultrasonic curet were examined for experimental group. The 4 surface of the teeth(buccal, mesial, lingual or palatal, distal) were observed through the stereomicroscope and the images of the surface were captured and saved in CCD. The images were displayed on the monitor and the amount of calculus remained was evaluated by overlapping $10{\times}10$ grid pixel screen produced by Microsoft power point. The results evaluated were as follows 1. There was no statistically significant difference in residual calculus and tooth position following scaling and root planning of all group, but statistically significant correlation with residual calculus, probing depth, instruments and tooth surface. 2. There was statistically significant correlation between residual calculus and probing depth, but no statistically significant difference in residual calculus, tooth surface and tooth position on experimental(Ultrasonic curet) group. 3. There was no statistically significant difference in residual calculus according to the pre-treatment pocket depth and tooth position, but statistically significant correlation with tooth surface. The amount of residual calculus increase with mesial, distal, buccal and lingual(or palatal) surface on control(Gracey curet) group. 4. The Gracey showed better results than ultrasonic curet in mesial and distal surface, and there is significant difference. The results demonstrate that ultrasonic curet alone is inadequate for thorough subgingival debridement and suggest that Ultrasonic curet with Gracey curet should be more effective.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for Korean Scaling Fear (KSF)-1.1 in scaling patients. Methods : 402 sample size for scaling patients was studied in Daegu city in July and August of 2011. Mean and standard deviation was calculated in 3 dimensions(FWS: fear while scaling, DDH: distrust on dental hygienist, FAS: fear after scaling). Results : Age of 402 subjects was 36.5 years. In analyzing reliability for item-level, a range of correlation coefficient(${\alpha}$) on item-internal consistency(FWS, DDH, and FAS) was 0.58~0.88(${\alpha}$=0.90), 0.40~0.71(${\alpha}$=0.82), and 0.54~0.63(${\alpha}$=0.82), respectively. Floor(%) and ceiling(%) value on 3 dimensions were also 9.2% and 4.0%, 12.4% and 0.5%, and 17.7% and 1.2%, respectively, therefore, we found statistically high reliability for those(p<0.001). With explanatory factor analysis, this study could generate 3 dimensions(factor 1, eigenvalue 5.41, proportion 0.49; factor 2, eigenvalue 1.50, proportion 0.14; factor 3, eigenvalue 1.04, proportion 0.09) and 11 sub-scales. Also confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the KSF1.1 model was fitted very well in analysis of model fit($x^2$=112.94, df=41, p=0.000; goodness of fit index=0.95; adjusted goodness of fit index=0.92; root mean square residual=0.057). Conclusions : In conclusion, The findings of this study showed that developed reliable and valid instrument for measuring the KSF1.1 in the scaling patients.

Based on their shift and scale orthogonality properties, scaling and wavelet functions may be used as signaling functions having good frequency localization as determined by the fractional-out-of-band power (FOOBP). In this paper, application of Daubechies' wavelet and scaling functions as baseband signaling functions is described, with a focus on finding discretely realizable pulse-shaping transfer function circuits whose outputs approximate scaling and wavelet functions when driven by more conventional digital signaling waveforms. It is also shown that the inter-symbol interference (ISI) introduced by the approximation has negligible effect on the performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, the approximations are often more bandwidth efficient than the original wavelet functions. These waveforms thus illustrate an example solution of a tradeoff between residual ISI and bandwidth efficiency as a signal design problem.

This study presents a regional, probabilistic framework for estimating streamflow via spatial scaling in the Great Lakes basin, which is the largest lake system in the world. The framework follows a two-fold strategy including (1) a quadratic-programming based optimization model a priori to explore the model structure, and (2) a time-varying hierarchical Bayesian model based on insights found in the optimization model. The proposed model is developed to explore three innovations in hierarchical modeling for reconstructing historical streamflow at ungaged sites: (1) information of physical characteristics is utilized in spatial scaling, (2) a time-varying approach is introduced based on climate information, and (3) heteroscedasticity in residual errors is considered to improve streamflow predictive distributions. The proposed model is developed and calibrated in a hierarchical Bayesian framework to pool regional information across sites and enhance regionalization skill. The model is validated in a cross-validation framework along with four simpler nested formulations and the optimization model to confirm specific hypotheses embedded in the full model structure. The nested models assume a similar hierarchical Bayesian structure to our proposed model with their own set of simplifications and omissions. Results suggest that each of three innovations improve historical out-of-sample streamflow reconstructions although these improvements vary corrsponding to each innovation. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of possible model improvements considered by additional model structure and covariates.

This paper deals with the scale effects of warhead on concrete penetration. We investigated the scale effects using finite element analysis and Young's penetration equation. As the scale of penetration test decreases, the strain rate effects of target increases, and then strength of concrete target increases. This means the residual velocity and penetration depth of warhead decreases as the test model size decreases. Young's penetration equations are transformed with various penetrator mass and scale cases as a function of scale ratio. Penetration distance and residual velocity are not simply changed by the geometric scaling law.

본 논문은 기존 전력 소비 감소만을 고려한 DVS와 달리 배터리 특성에 기반하여 DVS를 수행하는 기법을 제시한다. 배터리는 잔량에 따라 다른 전력 소비형태를 갖고 있으므로 잔량에 따라서 적합한 DVS 정책을 수행해야 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해서 배터리의 특성을 파악하고, 그 특성에 따라 배터리 구간을 설정한 후 그에 적합한 DVS 알고리즘을 적용하는 기법을 제시한다. 이를 통해 효율적인 DVS 정책을 수립 할 수 있음을 IPAQ 5550 PDA에서 리눅스 운영 체제에서의 실험을 통해 보여준다.

본 논문은 NM-MMA (Novel Mixed-Multi Modulus Algorithm) 알고리즘에서 고정 modulus 대신 adaptive modulus를 이용한 적응 등화 성능을 개선시킨 AM-NM-MMA (Adaptive Modulus-NM-MMA)에 관한 것이다. NM-MMA는 MMA의 정상 상태에서 적은 잔여량을 얻는 대신 수렴 속도가 느리며, SE-MMA는 수렴 속도가 빠르지만 잔여량이 증대되는 성능을 절충시키기 위해 등장하였다. 그러나 고정 modulus를 이용하므로 완전 등화 상태에서도 잔여량이 0이 되지 않아 등화 성능이 열화되므로 이를 개선하기 위하여 논문에서는 adaptive modulus를 적용하였으며, 이의 개선된 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 이를 위하여 등화 성능 지수로 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, MD, MSE 및 SER 성능을 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 결과 AM-NM-MMA는 NM-MMA보다 등화 출력 신호의 성상도, 잔류 isi, MD, MSE에서 수렴 속도와 잔여량에서는 우월하였으나, SER 성능에서는 열화됨을 확인하였다.
