Extenders including wheat flour, defatted soy flour, skim milk powder, and demineralized whey powder were used in examining the value of partial substitution of pork in sausage making. Each of the substuting ingredients were tested at the level of 10%, 20% and 30% of pork. Cooked sausages of Frankfurter style were made by the conventional method and tested for their physico-chemical properties and the tissue structure was compared. Following results have been obtained: 1) As more extenders are added, moisture and protein content of sausages were increased, while the fat content was decreased. This is probably due to added ice water. 2) Moisture, protein, and fat constituted 85.13% of the sausages, which is still good as the standard grade. 3) As more extenders are added, ratio of protein : moisture (W/P) was increased from 5.17 to 5.65, which is still below 6.0 and acceptable. 4) Average free water content of sausages was 6.5%, which evidenced the average binding quality. The sausage containing defatted soy flour contained 4.97% of free water, the one containing skim milk powder had 5.13% free water, the one containing wheat flour had 7.23% free water, and the one containing whey powder had 8.87% free water. 5) Firmness, which was tested by penetration value, did not show much differences among the kinds of extenders, but firmness of the sausages was increased in the order of sausages containing wheat flour, skim milk powder, defatted soy flour, and whey powder. 6) Sausages containing 10% of extenders showed large fat globules well and widely distributed among the fine protein tissue structure, but as more extenders are added, the size of fat globules was decreased and the tissue structure became crude. 7) Considering the content of moisture, protein, and fat, protein : moisture ratio (W/P), binding properties, and firmness, the effectiveness of extenders in substituting pork was decreased in the order of defatted soy flover, skim milk powder, wheat flour and whey powder. Wheat flour and whey powder can be used at the level of 20% or below, and defatted soy flour and skim milk powder could be used up to 30% of the pork. 8) Pediococcus acidilactici was isolated and identified from meat scraps of meat chopper in order to make the fermented sausage. 9) The fermented sausage of the same formulation did mot evidence the spoilage up to 30 days at 20℃ and up to four months at refrigeration temperature. 10) Acceptability of fermented sausages was best with skim milk-containing sausages and decreased in the order of whey powder, wheat flour, and soyflour sausages.

Kai-Tai Song,Yun-Chih Liao,You-Lin Jian 제어로봇시스템학회 2014 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2014 No.10

For improving mobility of the elderly, it is desirable to use a lower limb exoskeleton to enhance strength and endurance for their daily life activities. This paper presents a novel design of assist torque generation and compliant motion of a knee joint for an exoskeleton robot. Based on a sensorless approach, a method is suggested to estimate the external torque and generate the assistance torque of the attached DC motor. The developed lower limb exoskeleton joint provides assistive torque in order to comply with motion of the user. In comparison with existing lower limb exoskeletons, the proposed exoskeleton robot can execute various training programs by adjusting the assisting torque with less sensors and reduced hardware complexity. Experimental results on a knee exoskeleton validate the proposed method. Desirable assistive torque can be generated to be compliant with a swing motion.

Robust Facial Emotion Recognition Using a Temporal-Reinforced Approach

Kai-Tai Song,Chao-Yu Lin 제어로봇시스템학회 2014 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2014 No.10

In this paper, a temporal-reinforced approach to enhancing emotion recognition from facial images is presented. Shape and texture models of facial images are computed by using active appearance model (AAM), from which facial feature points and geometrical feature values are extracted. The extracted features are used by relevance vector machine (RVM) to recognize emotional states. We propose a temporal analysis approach to recognizing likelihood of emotional categories, such that more subtle emotion, such as degree and ratio of basic emotional states can be obtained. Furthermore, a method is developed to map the recognition result to the arousal-valence plane (A-V Plane). Experimental results verify that the performance of emotion recognition is enhanced by the proposed method.

Independent Component Analysis for Pattern Recognition of Gas Sensor Array Measurement Data

Kai Song,Taehwan Kim,Keunsung Bae 대한전자공학회 2008 ITC-CSCC :International Technical Conference on Ci Vol.2008 No.7

Commercial metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor array system is generally subject to significant crosssensitivity due to poor selectivity for different gases. This crosstalk greatly affects the accuracy of gas recognition and concentration measurement. In this paper, we explore the independent component analysis as a novel modeling technique to process the gas sensor array response data for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The process consists of two stages: first the type of gas is classified from the independent components analysis, then gas concentration is computed using the scatter plot of adjacent independent components. Simulation results demonstrate that the ICAbased method show good performance on the qualitative and quantitative gas component analysis.

Song, Chuan-Qing,Zhang, Jun-Hui,Shi, Jia-Chen,Cao, Xiao-Qin,Song, Chun-Hua,Hassan, Adil,Wang, Peng,Dai, Li-Ping,Zhang, Jian-Ying,Wang, Kai-Juan Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.2

Polymorphisms in miRNA binding sites have been shown to affect miRNA binding to target genes, resulting in differential mRNA and protein expression and susceptibility to common diseases. Our purpose was to predict SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) within miRNA binding sites of inflammatory genes in relation to gastric cancer. A complete list of SNPs in the 3'UTR regions of all inflammatory genes associated with gastric cancer was obtained from Pubmed. miRNA target prediction databases (MirSNP, Targetscan Human 6.2, PolymiRTS 3.0, miRNASNP 2.0, and Patrocles) were used to predict miRNA target sites. There were 99 SNPs with MAF>0.05 within the miRNA binding sites of 41 genes among 72 inflammation-related genes associated with gastric cancer. NF-${\kappa}B$ and JAK-STAT are the two most important signaling pathways. 47 SNPs of 25 genes with 95 miRNAs were predicted. CCL2 and IL1F5 were found to be the shared target genes of hsa-miRNA-624-3p. Bioinformatic methods could identify a set of SNPs within miRNA binding sites of inflammatory genes, and provide data and direction for subsequent functional verification research.

Object Grasping of a Mobile Robot Using Image Features and Virtual Points

Kai-Tai Song,Hong-Tze Chen 제어로봇시스템학회 2009 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2009 No.8

This paper presents a novel method of autonomous grasping design for a mobile manipulator, such that the robot can find and grasp a target object in a complex environment. Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm is adopted to search and recognize features of the object to be grasped. Histogram-enhanced feature matching (HEFM) is developed to obtain depth estimate and reject unreliable feature points in order to improve the feature matching accuracy. The concept of virtual points is proposed to facilitate image-based visual servo controller design. Experimental results of autonomous object grasping validate the proposed method.

Visual Servoing and Compliant Motion Control of a Continuum Robot

Kai-Tai Song,Han-Chih Tsai 제어로봇시스템학회 2018 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2018 No.10

This paper presents a visual servoing and compliant motion control design of a continuum robot. Two endoscopic cameras were installed at the tip of the continuum robot to build a stereo camera system. The depth information is obtained by using semi-global block-matching (SGBM) algorithm. The visual servoing system proposed in this work includes the feature point extraction by using speeded-up robust features (SURF), followed by feature-point matching using nearest neighbor distance ratio (NNDR), and tracking of feature points by using mean shift algorithm. Through the pressure sensor installed around the circumference of the continuum robot, a compliant motion control design is proposed to make the robot to move in a constrained environment while executing the visual servoing task. Practical experiments show that the proposed method can effectively track a target and generate the adaptive motion when the robot encounters an obstacle during visual servoing.

Genetic Epidemiological Analysis of Esophageal Cancer in High-incidence Areas of China

Wang, Kai-Juan,Yang, Jun-Xia,Shi, Jia-Chen,Deng, Song-Yuan,Cao, Xiao-Qin,Song, Chun-Hua,Wang, Peng Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.22

Genetic epidemiological studies have shown that genetic susceptibility to esophageal cancer (EC) is an important cause of its high incidence within families in some areas of China. The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence of a genetic basis of EC in Xin-an and Xin-xiang counties in China. Familial aggregation and complex segregation analyses were performed of 79 EC families in these counties. The heritability of EC was examined using Falconer's method and complex segregation analysis was conducted with the SEGREG program in Statistical Analysis for Genetic Epidemiology (SAGE version 5.3.1). The results showed that the distribution of EC in families did not fit well into a binomial distribution. The heritability of EC among first-degree and second-degree relatives was $67.0{\pm}7.31%$ and $43.1%{\pm}9.80%$, respectively, and the summing up powered heritability was $53.2{\pm}6.74%$. The segregation ratio was 0.045. Complex segregation analysis showed that the genetic model of EC was additive. The current results provide evidence for an inherited propensity to EC in certain high-risk groups in China, and support efforts to identify the genes that confer susceptibility to this disease.

Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of the Late Cretaceous-Eocene sediments in the southeastern Fenwei Graben and its tectono-sedimentary significance

Kai Jiang,Guanzuo Wu,Guohao Si,Jiangang Li,Boyang Zheng,Qi Shen,Shida Song 한국지질과학협의회 2023 Geosciences Journal Vol.27 No.4

The Fenwei Graben located in the conjoint region between the Neo-Tethys tectonic domain and the western Pacific tectonic domain is key to understanding the tectonic evolution of the East Asian interior. Extensive Late Cretaceous–Paleogene fluvial and lacustrine deposits within the southeastern Fenwei Graben, provide ideal archives of early tectono-sedimentary evolution in Fenwei Graben. Recently, we find two complete Late Cretaceous–Cenozoic sections in the Lingbao Basin. These unique sections provide an excellent opportunity to investigate regional tectono-sedimentary evolution and its potential dynamic mechanisms in Fenwei Graben. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) is an effective and economic method to obtain information about tectonic and/or sedimentary evolution recorded in deposits. To this end, we present an integrated rock magnetism and AMS study of 36 sampling sites from these two sections that span the interval from the Late Cretaceous to the Early Eocene. Our rock magnetism results suggest that hematite and magnetite are the main magnetic carriers of remanence, and paramagnetic minerals and hematite are major contributors to AMS in the Lingbao Basin. In addition, the reverse, intermediate and anomalous magnetic fabrics are found in these two sections, which may result from the contribution of iron-bearing carbonates in deposits. The AMS of the Lingbao Basin is a primary sedimentary fabric with the K1 direction antiparallel to the preferential paleocurrent direction. During the Paleocene, the clockwise rotation of the paleocurrent directions in both sections is more likely to be caused by the rotation of the Lingbao basin or the relatively rapid uplift of western provenance under the influence of the India–Eurasia convergence. Moreover, the inferred early evolution of the Fenwei Graben is likely controlled by both the western Pacific plate subduction and India–Eurasia convergence.

Meta-analysis of the MDM2 T309G Polymorphism and Gastric Cancer Risk

Song, Bo,Duan, Zhong-Yu,Zhong, Yun-Hua,Lei, Na,Yang, Yu-Qing,Luo, Kai-Yuan Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.11

Background: Mdm2 binds to the amino-terminus of p53 to induce its degradation and a single nucleotide polymorphism in the MDM2 promoter region (T309G) has been reported to increase the risk of several carcinomas, such as gastric cancer. However, the results of published studies to analyze the association between MDM2 T309G and gastric cancer havve often conflicted. Methods: To better illustrate the filiation between MDM2 T309G and gastric cancer, we performed a meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the relationship. The pooled ORs were performed for 4 models, additive, recessive, co-dominant model, and dominant. Results: Nine published case-control studies including 3,225 gastric cancer cases and 4,118 controls were identified. The MDM2 T309G polymorphism was associated with a significantly increased risk of gastric cancer risk when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (GG versus TT, OR=1.57; 95%CI=1.57-2.12; p=0.003) and GG versus GT/TT, OR=1.52; 95%CI=1.217-1.90; p<0.001). Furthermore, Egger's test did not show any evidence of publication bias (P = 0.608 for GG versus TT). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the MDM2 T309G polymorphism is indeed associated with a significantly increased risk of gastric cancer.
