In this paper, a new simple approach has been developed for the preparation of α-Fe2O3 microspheres by a facile hydrothermal method using PVP as a surfactant. Uniform α-Fe2O3 microspheres could be routinely synthesized through solvothermal approach by controlling the PVP/FeCl3⋅6H2O ratio. The as-obtained α-Fe2O3 microspheres exhibit high efficiency on the decolorization of RhB aqueous solution in the presence of H2O2 at room temperature.

Scavenging Effect of Extract from Perilla frutescens and Rosmarinic Acid from Free Radical and Lipid Peroxidation

Ting Ting Wu,Bo Ra Hwang,Eun Ju Cho 한국식품영양과학회 2011 Preventive Nutrition and Food Science Vol.16 No.3

The radical scavenging activity and inhibition effect from lipid peroxidation induced by peroxyl radical of methanol extract from Perilla frutescens and its active compound, rosmarinic acid (RA), were investigated in vitro. The treatment of extract and RA scavenged 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl radical (·OH) and nitric oxide in a concentration-dependent manner. In particular, the extract and RA showed strong radical scavenging activity against ·OH, the most toxic and reactive radical. In addition, Perilla frutescens and RA effectively inhibited lipid oxidation induced by sodium nitroprusside and 2, 2'-azobis(2-aminopropane) dihydrochloride, determined by the ferric thiocyanate method. The present results suggest that Perilla frutescens and RA play a protective role against oxidative stress induced by free radical and lipid peroxidation.

Ting-Ting Liu,Young-Hoon Lim,Joon-Ki Paik 한국융합학회 2021 한국융합학회논문지 Vol.12 No.11

현대 과학기술의 발전에 따라 예술의 도구도 점차적으로 발전하였다. 다양한 미디어 기술들을 활용한 인터랙티브 아트는 사람들에게 빠르게 전파되었고, 새로운 예술의 형식으로 인식되고 있다. 인터랙티브 아트는 회화나 조각과 같은 전통적인 예술 표현 방식과는 차이가 있다. 관객과 작품 사이의 인터랙션을 통해 예술가, 참여 자와 작품의 사이의 균형을 이루었다. 관객은 작품을 감상하는 것을 넘어서, 작품을 만드는 데 참여할 수 있다. 본 논문은 예술 창작의 관점에서 인간의 감각에 기반한 인터렉티브 아트 제작 기술을 시각적, 청각적, 촉각적 측면 에서 분석하고, 관련 사례들을 결합하여 ‘시뮬레이션-체험’모델을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 모델을 사용해서 제작 한 ‘Charming’이란 작품을 소개하고, 그 의미를 분석한다. 본 논문은 인간의 감각에 기반한 인터랙티브 아트 제작 기술 분석을 통해 형식의 변화 및 인터랙티브 아트의 미래 발전을 예측하여 예술성, 기술성, 그리고 사회적 영향성 에 적용될 수 있도록 비전을 제시한다. Recent advances in science and technology leveraged various artistic tools. Interactive art based on various media technologies became popular in a short period, and is widely appreciated as a new form of art. This new form of art has a different method of expression from traditional art such as painting or sculpture. It aims to strike a balance among the artist, audience, and piece of art through interaction between the work and viewers. Viewers can take part in the creation process, going beyond the conventional way of art appreciation. This paper analyzes interactive art production techniques based on human senses from the artist’s perspective. “Simulation-experience model” will be suggested after looking at several example artworks. Charming, which was produced based on this model, will be introduced and its meaning will be analyzed. The objective of this paper is to predict the future of interactive art and changes in the art form by studying interactive art production techniques based on human senses. We believe that the prediction is helpful in understanding the artistic and technological value and the social influence of interactive art in the future.

Preparation and Mechanical Property Evaluations of Puncture-Resistant Insoles Composites Reinforced by High-Modulus Filament and Thermal Bonding

Ting-Ting Li,Fei Sun,Xing Liu,Hua-Ling Wu,Ching-Wen Lou,Jia-Horng Lin 한국섬유공학회 2018 Fibers and polymers Vol.19 No.6

High-modulus PET filaments and thermal bonding are used to reinforce the puncture resistance stability of the insole composite. This study aims to discuss the influences of the amount of low-melting-point polyester fibers (LMPET) and needle densities (ND) on tensile, bursting, and quasi-static puncture resistance properties. Besides, significance of LMPET amount and ND on puncture resistance against flat-head (A), spherical-head (B), and pointed-head (C) probes are in particular investigated to simulate the diversified application environments for insoles. Research result shows that, LMPET amount significantly affects the static puncture resistance against three probes; ND only significantly influences the puncture resistance against Probe A and C. Thermal bonding significantly improves the puncture strength against Probe B with various LMPET amounts of insoles, but evidently increases the puncture resistance against Probe A and C when being punched at various ND. The amount of LMPET fibers has a positive influence on the puncture strength of insoles, and 70 wt% of LMPET provide the average static puncture resistance up to 342.6 N. The high-modulus resultant insoles have advantages of flexibility, ease of process, and bendability with a higher and more stabilized puncture resistances.

Ting-Ting Li,Peiyao Liu,Bing-Chiuan Shiu,Hongyang Wang,Hao-Kai Peng,Jia-Horng Lin,Ching-Wen Lou 한국섬유공학회 2022 Fibers and polymers Vol.23 No.12

In order to improve the low velocity impact resistance, flexible PU foam composites (FPUC) with a sandwichstructure are proposed. The interlayer is composed of a concave-convex fabric structure while the top/bottom layers are madeof polyurethane foam (PU). The core is prepared as follows. Seven warp knitted spacer fabric types (WKSF) (WKSF.1-7) arelaminated with different number of layers to form cuboids, which are fixed firmly between two layers of low melting pointpolyester (LMPET) fabrics via hot melting. The effects of spacer yarn density, spacer yarn inclination angle, combination ofspacer fabrics, and number of lamination layers on the dynamic cushion performance are evaluated. With the impact energybeing 16 J, FPUs demonstrate an energy absorption level that is 19 % and 39 % greater than PU and WKSF. Furthermore,ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric can effectively enhance the surface strength. Finally, the results arecomputed via theoretical prediction formulae of dynamic buffer resistance is in conformity with the experimental test results.

A Method for Tree Image Segmentation Combined Adaptive Mean Shifting with Image Abstraction

( Ting-ting Yang ),( Su-yin Zhou ),( Ai-jun Xu ),( Jian-xin Yin ) 한국정보처리학회 2020 Journal of information processing systems Vol.16 No.6

Although huge progress has been made in current image segmentation work, there are still no efficient segmentation strategies for tree image which is taken from natural environment and contains complex background. To improve those problems, we propose a method for tree image segmentation combining adaptive mean shifting with image abstraction. Our approach perform better than others because it focuses mainly on the background of image and characteristics of the tree itself. First, we abstract the original tree image using bilateral filtering and image pyramid from multiple perspectives, which can reduce the influence of the background and tree canopy gaps on clustering. Spatial location and gray scale features are obtained by step detection and the insertion rule method, respectively. Bandwidths calculated by spatial location and gray scale features are then used to determine the size of the Gaussian kernel function and in the mean shift clustering. Furthermore, the flood fill method is employed to fill the results of clustering and highlight the region of interest. To prove the effectiveness of tree image abstractions on image clustering, we compared different abstraction levels and achieved the optimal clustering results. For our algorithm, the average segmentation accuracy (SA), over-segmentation rate (OR), and under-segmentation rate (UR) of the crown are 91.21%, 3.54%, and 9.85%, respectively. The average values of the trunk are 92.78%, 8.16%, and 7.93%, respectively. Comparing the results of our method experimentally with other popular tree image segmentation methods, our segmentation method get rid of human interaction and shows higher SA. Meanwhile, this work shows a promising application prospect on visual reconstruction and factors measurement of tree.

Dispersal and Control of Anammox Granular Sludge at High Substrate Concentrations

Ting-Ting Chen,Ping Zheng,Li-Dong Shen,Chong-Jian Tang,Shuang Ding 한국생물공학회 2012 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.17 No.5

This paper reports about the dispersal and control of anammox granular sludge at high substrate concentrations. The results demonstrate that anammox granular sludge would turn into flocculent sludge when the substrate concentrations exceed the inhibitory threshold concentrations, with an apparent drop in the settling velocity of anammox sludge from 73.73 to 16.49 m/h. Moreover, the sludge was washed out of the reactor and a decrease in the nitrogen removal rate from 23.82 to 16.97kg N/(m3/day) was observed. The dominant anammox bacteria in the granular and flocculent sludge were Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis; however, the contents of heme c and extracellular polymeric substances in the flocculent sludge were much lower than in the granular sludge. Furthermore, the chemical composition of extracellular polymeric substances was different. The high nitrite concentrations more than the inhibitory threshold concentrations were regarded as the reason for the observed granular sludge dispersal and deterioration in reactor performance. The apparent dispersed granular sludge and malfunction of reactor performance could be recovered by means of washing out the residual substrate from the reactor and then re-running the reactor from low substrate concentrations.

Ting Ting Li(이팅팅),Rishu Gupia(리슈),Namseok Choi(최남석),Byung-Gook Lee(이병국) 한국멀티미디어학회 2009 한국멀티미디어학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.2009 No.2

Moving object detection is a basic component of many computer vision applications. It has a critical impact on the performance of visual surveillance and intelligent transportation. This paper proposes an adaptive moving object detection approach that can deal with dynamic scenes. This approach uses PCA to describe the background model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to detect moving objects under various types of dynamic scenarios.

Effects of Gypenosides on Acute Stress in Mice

Ting Ting Zhao,이명구,Keon Sung Shin,최현숙 한국생약학회 2013 Natural Product Sciences Vol.19 No.4

The effects of gypenosides (GPS) on electric footshock (EF)-induced acute stress in mice were investigated. Mice were treated orally with GPS (30 - 400 mg/kg) once a day for 5 days. After 2 days of GPS treatment, mice were exposed to EF stimuli (intensity, 2 mA; interval, 10 s; duration, 3 min) for acute stress for 3 days. Spontaneous locomotor activity was increased by acute EF stress, which was decreased by treatment with GPS (100 and 400 mg/kg). In addition, the increased levels of dopamine and serotonin by acute EF stress in the brain were reduced by treatment with GPS (100 and 400 mg/kg). The serum levels of corticosterone increased by acute EF stress were also reduced by GPS (100 and 400 mg/kg). These results suggest that GPS shows the ameliorating effects on acute EF stress by modulating the activity of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons, and the serum levels of corticosterone. Clinical trials of GPS need to be conducted further so as to develop promising anti-stress agents.

Effects of (-)-Sesamin on Memory Deficits in MPTP-lesioned Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Ting Ting Zhao,신건성,이명구 한국생약학회 2016 Natural Product Sciences Vol.22 No.4

This study investigated the effects of (-)-sesamin on memory deficits in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD). MPTP lesion (30 mg/kg/day, 5 days) in mice showed memory deficits including habit learning memory and spatial memory. However, treatment with (-)-sesamin (25 and 50 mg/kg) for 21 days ameliorated memory deficits in MPTP-lesioned mouse model of PD: (-)-sesamin at both doses improved decreases in the retention latency time of the passive avoidance test and the levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and homovanillic acid, improved the decreased transfer latency time of the elevated plus-maze test, reduced the increased expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, and increased the reduced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and cyclic AMP-response element binding protein (CREB). These results suggest that (-)-sesamin has protective effects on both habit learning memory and spatial memory deficits via the dopaminergic neurons and NMDA receptor-ERK1/2-CREB system in MPTP-lesioned mouse model of PD, respectively. Therefore, (-)-sesamin may serve as an adjuvant phytonutrient for memory deficits in PD patients.
