Shuai Liu,Lingli Zhao,Junsheng Li 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Database Theory and Appli Vol.9 No.2

Previous panoramic studies focused on image stitching and the panoramic camera development. In recent years, people began to focus on panoramic scalability issues, the existed methods adopt traditional photogrammetric methods for data processing based on a multi-directional panorama images, using a large number of control points and combined bundle adjustment. Indeed, panorama itself is a kind modeling method, it is completely unnecessary to reconstruct the panoramic entire scene for measurement. So in this paper, we focus on a kind of panorama measurement from spherical projective geometry we studied and constructed the relative, absolute orientation and measurable algorithms based on spherical stereo pair panorama in order to achieve panoramic measurement in the process of panorama roaming. The experiment shows that the approach is much validated, and something useful is obtained.

Interpretation of Siberian shaman costume through Roland Barthes’s semiotics approach

Shuai Liu,Mi Jeong Kwon 복식문화학회 2020 服飾文化硏究 Vol.28 No.6

This study attempts to analyze the social and cultural meanings of the ethnic groups to which different types of shamans belong in Siberia from the appearance characteristics in terms of clothing through Roland Barthes’s semiotic theory. The research method here is to analyze three types of shaman costume classified by Holmberg, which are bird-type, deer-type, and bear-type, through theoretical research and to investigate the analysis process of Roland Barthes’s semiotics theory. Roland Barthes’s approach to semiotics presents an analysis model that can explore the sociocultural meaning of the Siberian shaman costume. The research results are as follows. In the first type, to be closer to the god of the upperworld, shamans transform themselves into birds by decorating their costumes with the characteristic elements of birds such as feathers and wings. In the second type, the shamans’ costumes are made of deerskin, and the headdress is shown in the shape of antlers to make it easier to receive messages from the upperworld and run fast in the underworld. In the third type, the shaman’s costume is made of bearskin, the head is covered with bearskin, and the body is decorated with bear pendants. Through the power of the bear, the shaman is sent to the underworld to defeat evil gods and remove diseases. Shamans can show their particularity of being a demigod and non-binary gender through clothing. They use this to reflect their authority as a medium of communication between man and god.

Study on the Parameter Optimization of Soft-switching DC/DC Converters with the Response Surface Methodology, a SPICE Model, and a Genetic Algorithm

Liu, Shuai,Wei, Li,Zhang, Yicheng,Yao, Yongtao The Korean Institute of Power Electronics 2015 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.15 No.2

The application of soft-switching techniques is increasing in the DC/DC converter area. It is important to design soft-switching parameters to ensure the converter operates properly and efficiently. An optimized design method is presented in this paper. The objective function is the total power loss of a converter, while the variables are soft-switching parameters and the constraints are the electrical requirements for soft-switching. Firstly, a response surface methodology (RSM) model with a high precision is built, and the rough optimized parameters can be obtained with the help of a genetic algorithm (GA) in the solution space determined by the constraints. Secondly, a re-optimization is conducted with a SPICE model and a GA, and accurate optimized parameters can be obtained. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method performs well in terms of a wide adaptability, efficiency, and global optimization.

Expression Types of Modern Fashion Show Space from the Perspective of Pepper's Contextualism

( Liu Shuai ),( Kwon Mi Jeong ) 한국패션비즈니스학회 2020 패션 비즈니스 Vol.24 No.6

This study analyzed contextual expression types in modern fashion show space derived from the architecture based on Pepper's Contextualism. Pepper's Contextualism theory was applied to fashion showcases of the world's four largest collections from 2010 to 2020 by analyzing contextual expression in architecture, resulting in six contextual expression types. The first type was natural environmental contextual expression in which a modern fashion was fused with the natural environment using the natural environment's context. The second type was a temporal contextual expression expressed by blending the theme of a fashion show and an artificial environment that could express past, present, and future issues. The third type was a spatial contextual expression that extended in a flat or three-dimensional direction. This expression could connect with customers in the field. The fourth type was an associative contextual expression that could formally present the theme of a fashion show or a designer's inspiration by borrowing a specific place. The fifth type was an ideological contextual expression that could express a designer's concept or value through a fashion show's design. The sixth type was a contextual communication expression that could allow viewers to immerse themselves in the space of a fashion show venue mentally through a morphological or virtual technique and experience a fashion show.

DFT study of the oxidation of Hg0 by O2 on an Mn-doped buckled g-C3N4 catalyst

Liu Shuai,Xu Mengxia,Chen Yipei,Mu Xueliang,Yu Jiahui,Yang Gang,Luo Xiang,Jiang Peng,Wu Tao 한국물리학회 2022 Current Applied Physics Vol.40 No.-

Due to the water-insoluble nature of Hg0, its oxidization to Hg2+, which is water-soluble, is a viable approach for its effective removal at coal-fired plants using existing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit. In this study, the adsorption and oxidation of elemental mercury on an Mn-doped g-C3N4 material were investigated. The spinpolarized density functional theory method was adapted to optimize the geometry structures and then to determine the corresponding electronic structures, while the CI-NEB method was adopted to search for the stable intermediates during the reaction(s). The analysis of energy and project density of states shows that the Mn-g- C3N4 exhibits an excellent affinity to Hg atoms. It is found that it is feasible for Hg atoms to oxidize on the Mn-g- C3N4 surface via two possible E-R paths, but with relatively high energy barriers. This research provides insights into a viable way for mercury removal using O2 as the oxidizing agent.

Specific Expression of Interferon-γ Induced by Synergistic Activation Mediator-Derived Systems Activates Innate Immunity and Inhibits Tumorigenesis

( Shuai Liu ),( Xiao Yu ),( Qiankun Wang ),( Zhepeng Liu ),( Qiaoqiao Xiao ),( Panpan Hou ),( Ying Hu ),( Wei Hou ),( Zhanqiu Yang ),( Deyin Guo ),( Shuliang Chen ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2017 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.27 No.10

The synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system can robustly activate endogenous gene expression by a single-guide RNA. This transcriptional modulation has been shown to enhance gene promoter activity and leads to epigenetic changes. Human interferon-γ is a common natural glycoprotein involved in antiviral effects and inhibition of cancer cell growth. Large quantities of high-purity interferon-γ are important for medical research and clinical therapy. To investigate the possibility of employing the SAM system to enhance endogenous human interferon-γ with normal function in innate immunity, we designed 10 single-guide RNAs that target 200 bp upstream of the transcription start sites of the interferon-γ genome, which could significantly activate the interferon-γ promoter reporter. We confirmed that the system can effectively and highly activate interferon-γ expression in several humanized cell lines. Moreover, we found that the interferon-γ induced by the SAM system could inhibit tumorigenesis. Taken together, our results reveal that the SAM system can modulate epigenetic traits of non-immune cells through activating interferon-γ expression and triggering JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Thus, this strategy could offer a novel approach to inhibit tumorigenesis without using exogenous interferon-γ.

The Expression and Characteristics of Mexican Poncho Costume Appropriated In Modern Fashion -Focus on James O Young’s Cultural Appropriating Techniques-

( Liu Shuai ),( Kwon Mi Jeong ) 한국패션비즈니스학회 2019 패션 비즈니스 Vol.23 No.6

Appropriation is of considerable significance in a cultural trend of thought, as one of the means of realizing the post-modernism period. With the increasing use of appropriation techniques in modern fashion, it is necessary to study the external performance and internal aesthetic value of appropriation in fashion. In the book of cultural appropriation, American scholar James o young divides into three categories of appropriation in culture, namely: object appropriation, content appropriation, and subject appropriation. Based on James O Young's three types of appropriation techniques summarized in the theory of the cultural appropriation, the purpose of this study is through the appropriation of the poncho of traditional Mexican clothing in modern fashion as an example; analyzing the external appropriation characteristics and internal aesthetic significance of different appropriation type. The results are as follows. First, designers take the Originality in modern fashion by expressing Mexican Poncho’s form, color, pattern, and material as it is through object appropriation technique. Second, through the Mexican folk poncho’s style, designers used these to show the similarity produced by content appropriation in modern fashion. Third, designers used the poncho’s design concept or poncho’s culture, blending the theme of the collection, adding different color, pattern or materials such as fur, lace, and wool, and presenting a new image different from folk costumes through creative subject appropriation technique.

Shuai Liu,Jie Bai,Qian Wang,Wei Wang 한국항공우주학회 2019 International Journal of Aeronautical and Space Sc Vol.20 No.3

A multi-power reaching law of sliding mode control is applied to aero-engine control, for which the tracking controller is designed based on sliding mode control. An improved multi-power reaching law of sliding mode control is proposed in this paper, which aims at reducing high-frequency oscillation phenomenon appeared in multi-power tracking control process of aero-engine. The proposed reaching law is used in a simulation of an aero-engine control system, whose results show that the proposed reaching law is applicable for tracking control of aero-engine. Not only does the proposed reaching law has these advantages that are fast response speed and strong robustness but also it can inhibit high-frequency oscillation phenomenon. The proposed reaching law is also used in aero-engine controller experiment. The improved multiple reaching law of sliding mode is suitable for tracking control for aero-engine.
