Optimal Two-Section Layouts for the Two-Dimensional Cutting Problem

( Jun Ji ),( Dun-hua Huang ),( Fei-fei Xing ),( Yao-dong Cui ) 한국정보처리학회 2021 Journal of information processing systems Vol.17 No.2

When generating layout schemes, both the material usage and practicality of the cutting process should be considered. This paper presents a two-section algorithm for generating guillotine-cutting schemes of rectangular blanks. It simplifies the cutting process by allowing only one size of blanks to appear in any rectangular block. The algorithm uses an implicit enumeration and a linear programming optimal cutting scheme to maximize the material usage. The algorithm was tested on some benchmark problems in the literature, and compared with the three types of layout scheme algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective both in computation time and in material usage.

Jun Ji,Bo Yang Korean Mathematical Society 2023 대한수학회논문집 Vol.38 No.3

In this paper, we consider a boundary value problem for a sixth order difference equation. We prove the monotone behavior of the eigenvalue of the problem as the coefficients in the difference equation change values and the existence of a positive solution for a class of problems.

Studies on the Viability of Spodoptera exigua Pupal Melanism Strain

Junjie Yuan,SisiLiu,MoWang 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.04

Melanism is one of the most marked phenotypic variations that naturally occur in a wide range of organisms. In this study, we established a homozygous melanism mutant strain with black pupae spontaneously occurring within a wild-type population of Spodoptera exigua. The S.exigua pupal melanic strain showed several viability advantages. The melanism is associated with faster development, heavier pupa weight and higher fecundity after eating seven different host plants. Female adults of the two strains both tend to attract xenogeneic male adults for mating, and the fecundity of the melanic strain is significantly higher than the wild-type strain. However, the melanism is associated with slower mean flight seed, shorter mean flight duration and distance. The melanic strain adults have weaker flight capacity in different ages. The viability advantages above will contribute in more generations per year, increasing population and more serious damage. Meanwhile, based on the mating competition results, the melanic strain will be able to interfere with the reproduction of wide-type strain and replace it. However, decreased flight capacity will influence the long-distance migration ability of the melanic strain and limit its range of damage

Collusion-Resistant Identity-Based Proxy Re-Encryption Without Random Oracles

JunJie Qiu,JungBok Jo,HoonJae Lee 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Security and Its Applicat Vol.9 No.9

In an identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme, a semi-trusted proxy can convert a ciphertext under Alice’s public identity into a ciphertext for Bob. The proxy does not know the secret key of Alice or Bob, and also does not know the plaintext during the conversion. In identity-based proxy re-encryption, the collusion of the proxy and a delegatee may result in the decryption of ciphertext for delegator. In this paper, we present a new scheme which can avoid the collusion of proxy and delegatee. Our scheme improves the scheme of Chu and Tzeng while inheriting all useful properties such as unidirectionality and non-interactivity. In our scheme, we get the security by using added secret parameter and change the secret key and re-encryption key. Our sheme is secure against Chosen-Ciphertext Attack (CCA) and collusion attack in the standard model.

A limited number of microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) have been reported to control postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation, but their strong regulatory effects suggest a possible therapeutic approach to stimulate regenerative capacity in the diseased myocardium. This study aimed to investigate the miRNAs responsible for postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation and their downstream targets. Here, we compared miRNA profiles in cardiomyocytes between postnatal day 0 (P0) and day 10 (P10) using miRNA arrays, and found that 21 miRNAs were upregulated at P10, whereas 11 were downregulated. Among them, miR-31a-5p was identified as being able to promote cardiomyocyte proliferation as determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression, double immunofluorescent labeling for α-actinin and 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) or Ki-67, and cell number counting, whereas miR-31a-5p inhibition could reduce their levels. RhoBTB1 was identified as a target gene of miR-31a-5p, mediating the regulatory effect of miR-31a-5p in cardiomyocyte proliferation. Importantly, neonatal rats injected with a miR-31a-5p antagomir at day 0 for three consecutive days exhibited reduced expression of markers of cardiomyocyte proliferation including PCNA expression and double immunofluorescent labeling for α-actinin and EdU, Ki-67 or phospho-histone-H3. In conclusion, miR-31a-5p controls postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation by targeting RhoBTB1, and increasing miR-31a-5p level might be a novel therapeutic strategy for enhancing cardiac reparative processes.

Optimal Isosceles Trapezoid Cross Section of Laterally Loaded Piles based on Friction Soil Arching

Junjie Wu,Changdong Li,Qingtao Liu,Fusong Fan 대한토목학회 2017 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.21 No.7

The paper presents a novel analytical solution to determine an optimal isosceles trapezoid cross-section of stabilizing piles subjected to the lateral load. In view of the pile-soil interaction mechanical analysis on the friction soil arching between the adjacent stabilizing piles, a general mechanical model for analyzing the behavior of the laterally loaded stabilizing piles with isosceles trapezoid cross-section is put forward. The reasonable net pile spacing expression for all kinds of isosceles trapezoid section piles is established via the analytical deduction, and it indicates that there is a positive relationship between the reasonable net pile spacing and gradient of pile sidewall. In consideration of the strength failure possibility in the apex of friction soil arching, the complete expressions of both the gradient of pile sidewall and corresponding reasonable net pile spacing of stabilizing piles can be established. The case study of Jinle landslide verifies that the reasonable pile spacing obtained by the presented model is slightly greater than that of the conventional design scheme, which shows that the stabilizing piles with optimal isosceles trapezoid cross-section can results in reducing the investment of the whole stabilizing piles.

Comparison of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy Decompression and Microscopic Decompression Effectiveness in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Junjie Li,Jiheng Yin,Jun Liu,haixiong Lin,Haifeng Yuan 대한척추외과학회 2023 Asian Spine Journal Vol.17 No.2

This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness between unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) technique and microscopic decompression (MD) technique in lumbar spinal stenosis treatment. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and other databases were used to conduct extensive literature searches. RevMan ver. 5.3 software was used for the statistical analysis. Eleven studies were included with 930 patients, including 449 patients in the UBE group and 521 in the MD group. Both techniques revealed similar operative times at −1.77 minutes (95% confidence interval [CI], −7.59 to 4.05 minutes; p =0.55), the postoperative dural expansion area at −1.27 (95% CI, −19.30 to 16.77; p =0.89), the postoperative complications at 0.76 (95% CI, 0.47 to 1.22; p =0.26), the preoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for leg pain, and the last follow-up (>12 months) VAS for leg pain at −0.04 (95% CI, −0.14 to 0.06; p =0.47), the preoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the last follow-up (>12 months) ODI scores at −0.18 (95% CI, −0.76 to 0.40; p =0.54), and patient satisfaction (the modified MacNab score) at 1.15 (95% CI, 0.54 to 2.42; p =0.72). However, intraoperative bleeding was lower following the UBE technique at −52.78 mL (95% CI, −93.47 to −12.08 mL; p =0.01) and was shorter following the UBE technique at −3.06 (95% CI, −3.84 to −2.28; p <0.01). UBE and MD technology have no significant differences in efficacy or safety in the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis based on this meta-analysis. However, the UBE technique has less intraoperative bleeding and a shorter hospital stay. It has a slight advantage and is a better surgical option than the MD technique. It can be an alternative minimally invasive spinal surgery method.

( Junji Inoguchi ),( Kazutaka Komiya ),( Woon Ho Kim ),( Takuya Urakami ) 복식문화학회 2012 服飾文化硏究 Vol.20 No.3

Based upon a questionnaire survey, this research study focuses on the Japanese apparel manufacturers. The aim is to understand the characteristics that make up the marketing strategys of Japanese small to medium sized apparel manufacturers. The authors generate exploratory hypotheses, which are tested via statistical analysis of data obtained from a questionnaire survey. The hypotheses tested include, the relationships between "High Value Added" strategys and factors involved with manufacturing and marketing channels. High Value Added strategys relate to the manufacturers` competitive behaviors that create high and new value for their products. The results indicate that High Value Added strategys have positive relationships for domestic outsources, the number of outsources, use of directly operated shops and the orientation for sales in overseas markets.

Low Potential Amperometric Determination of Ascorbic Acid at a Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes-Dihexadecyl Hydrogen Phosphate Composite Film Modified Electrode

Junjie Fei,Kangbing Wu,Lanhua Yi,Junan Li 대한화학회 2005 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.26 No.9

A sensitive and selective electrochemical method was developed for the amperometric determination of ascorbic acid (AA) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes-dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (SWNT-DHP) composite film. The SWNT-DHP composite film modified GCE was characterized with SEM. The SWNT-DHP composite film modified GCE exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behaviors toward the oxidation of AA. Compared with the bare GCE, the oxidation current of AA increased greatly and the oxidation peak potential of AA shifted negatively to about –0.018 V (vs. SCE) at the SWNT-DHP composite film modified GCE. The experimental parameters, which influence the oxidation current of AA, were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the amperometric measurements were performed at a applied potential of 0.015 V and a linear response of AA was obtained in the range from 4 × 107 to 1 × 104 mol L1 and with a limit of detect (LOD) of 1.5 × 107 mol L1. The interferences study showed that the SWNT-DHP composite film modified GCE exhibited good sensitivity and excellent selectivity in the presence of high concentration uric acid and dopamine. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to detect AA in human urine samples with satisfactory results.
