In process mining, it is most important to discover a process model that reflects real-world processes very well. However, most existing process models are deterministic because they do not include stochastic elements such as the occurrence probabilities or execution times of activities. Therefore, available information is limited, resulting in the limitations on analyzing and understanding the process. Furthermore, it is also important to develop an efficient methodology to discover the process model. Although genetic process mining algorithm is one of the methods that can handle data with noises, it has a limitation of large computation time when it is applied to data with large capacity. In this paper, we define a stochastic process tree and propose a tabu search-genetic process mining algorithm to resolve these issues. The suggested stochastic process tree reflects stochastic characteristics by introducing two special types of nodes such as (i) the sequence probability information node representing the probability that a specific combination of activities is generated, (ii) the single activity execution time node representing the probability distribution of the activity execution time, and (iii) the time interval node between two adjacent activities expressing the probability distribution of the idle time between two possible consecutive activities. The tabu search-genetic process mining algorithm efficiently discovers the suggested stochastic process tree by combining the genetic process mining algorithm with tabu list. In the algorithm, we first define a two-dimensional array as a chromosome to represent the process tree, an initial chromosome set is randomly generated, and the fitness values of the process trees are evaluated. Then, a new chromosome set is generated in the direction of increasing the fitness value by applying genetic operations such as crossover and mutation operations. In this procedure, a model trace, a string of activities that can be generated from the process tree, with a low fitness value is stored in the tabu list. By comparing the similarities among the model traces generated as the result of genetic operations with the traces stored in the tabu list, we can prevent duplicated searches for process trees with low fitness value being performed. In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we performed a numerical experiment by using two kinds of event log data used in the previous research. The results show that the suggested tabu search-genetic process mining algorithm outperformed the simple genetic process mining algorithm in terms of fitness and computation time

Model of functions of PI3-kinase in the proliferation and the differentiation of myoblasts 99MasterMyoblast undergoes a series of events of proliferation, cell cycle exit, alignment and elongation, fusion and formation of straight muscle fiber during differentiation. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) is activated by a variety of extracellular stimuli, which impacts a number of cellular process including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. This paper discusses the function of PI3-kinase in proliferation and differentiation of myoblast. LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3-kinase, decreased the proliferation of L6 myoblasts and delayed the cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. The expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4 were decreased by LY294002. These results suggest that PI3-kinase regulate the proliferation of L6 myoblasts by promoting the expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4. When cultured in low growth factor-containing medium, L6 myoblasts exit cell cycle and undergo a well-defined program of differentiation. Phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) was related to the differentiation of chick embryonic muscle cells in culture. The extent of eEF2 phosphorylation declined shortly after differentiation induction of L6 myoblasts, when cells prepare for terminal differentiation by withdrawing from the cell cycle. This decrease in phosphorylation, however, was blocked by LY294002 and wortmannin, inhibitors of PI3-kinase. These inhibitors have previously been shown to strongly block the differentiation of myoblasts. Therefore, I hypothesized that PI3-kinase plays an important role in the withdrawal from the cell cycle by regulating eEF2 phosphorylation in the early stages of differentiation. To test this hypothesis, L6 myoblasts were synchronized at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle using nocodazole and then cultured in either fresh differentiation medium (DM) or growth medium (GM). Released cells accumulated in the G0/G1 phase in DM and progressed to the S phase in GM. Cyclin D1 was more rapidly degraded in cells cultured in DM than in GM. The extent of eEF2 phosphorylation was seen to decrease more prominently in DM than in GM. Inhibitors of PI3-kinase or Akt, or mTOR increased eEF2 phosphorylation, but PI3-kinase became more activated when eEF2 phosphorylation declined. These results suggest that the regulation of L6 myoblast differentiation by PI3-kinase is related to eEF2 phosphorylation. PI3-kinase induces transcription of myogenin mRNA in myoblast differentiation. Here, I examined another mechanism regulating expression of myogenin by PI3-kinase. When LY294002 was added even after expression of myogenin, the fusion of myoblasts did not increase more than the level at the time treated with LY294002 and myogenin protein was decreased without change of its mRNA level. However, the mRNA and the protein of both GAPDH and b-actin were not changed by LY294002. LY294002 inhibited the rate of global protein synthesis through down-regulation of the activity of S6-kinase, S6, eIF4E, and eEF2. Cycloheximide, inhibitor of translation, rapidly decreased protein level of myogenin without the change of mRNA level but did not affected the level of protein and mRNA of both GAPDH and b-actin. These results shows that a half-life of myogenin protein is greatly shorter than those of GAPDH and b-actin proteins and the inhibition of protein synthesis at the translational level by LY294002 causes rapid depletion of myogenin protein which has a short half-life. This finding represents the first identification that PI3-kinase regulates expression of myogenin post-transcriptionally. Genistein (4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Although the agent has shown to inhibit myoblast differentiation, neither intracellular target(s) as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor nor action mechanism of the agent is well known. Here I studied the effect of genistein on the differentiation of myoblasts. Genistein strongly but reversibly blocked both myoblast fusion and synthesis of the muscle-specific proteins. The agent also reversibly reduced the phosphorylation level of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, and its interaction with p85, the regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase. In addition, genistein indirectly inhibited PI3-kinase activity and blocked calcium influx which is required for myoblast fusion. However, both genistein-induced inhibition of cell fusion and calcium influx were abrogated by the lipid products of PI3-kinase. These results demonstrate that genistein can exert their effect on the signaling pathway from FAK to calcium influx via PI3-kinase in the differentiation of myoblasts. These data, together with the observation that PI3-kinase signaling is involved in the cell cycle progression of myoblast from G1 to S, induction of myogenin, sustaining the expression of myogenin, and cytosolic calcium elevation, suggest that PI3-kinase signaling plays important key roles in the proliferation and the differentiation of myoblasts

    Hyo-won Woo, a renowned female composer from South Korea, is highly regarded for her contributions to Korean choral music. Woo’s My Country is an 80-minute cantata consisting of 14 movements. As a full-time resident composer for the National Chorus of Korea, Woo composed this work in honor of the March 1st Revolution. She utilized her signature style of storytelling, incorporating narration and solo performers to portray the hardships of Korea during Japan’s colonial era. The cantata takes the mood of Requiem as a poignant symbol of Korea’s painful loss of their country and includes text derived from the resistance efforts of independence activists. As a result, it is an emotionally charged work for Koreans. The National Chorus of Korea has showcased multiple versions of My Country to accommodate changes in choir size and context. These versions include orchestration variations with longer and shorter arrangements, as well as different program options such as maximum, shorter, and highlight versions. Woo’s emphasis on communication with the audience through stage design is evident in this work. This monograph presents an integrated exploration of the text and musical elements found in Woo’ cantata, My Country. Through a detailed examination of the work’s history and interviews with the composer, the author aims to offer a deeper understanding of the composer’s life and artistic style, as well as a thorough analysis of the cantata’s music, text, and context. This guide also provides valuable performance suggestions for conductors to enhance their interpretation of the work. Furthermore, the monograph emphasizes Woo’s significant projects, with a particular focus on the Ari Project. This initiative showcases Woo’s remarkable talent for rearranging her compositions to suit a diverse range of ensembles, thereby facilitating accessibility and expanding the reach of her works. Through a comprehensive examination of the historical context with meticulous detail, this dissertation enhances the knowledge and understanding of conductors and musicians who aspire to engage with Woo’s compositions. By delving into the profound musical styles of Korea, it equips them with a deep appreciation and insight necessary for meaningful interpretation and performance

    학위논문(석사) - 한국과학기술원 : 기계공학전공, 2009.2, [ 158 p. ]Cable-suspended haptic interface has advantageous features such as low inertia, high stiffness, high payload-to-weight ratio, low weight (low energy consumption), large workspace over conventional rigid-link haptic interface. Despite these many advantages, inherent major problems of cable-suspended mechanism such as redundancy of actuators, incompact & insufficient force feasible workspace, inability of manipulation with high speed and thereby low accuracy of position result in limiting the extent of application. In this study, a novel and unique mechanism different from traditional approaches for a cable-suspended manipulator is proposed to solve those limiting factors. And a new 3 d.o.f cable-suspended haptic interface is designed and constructed considering simulation results for mechanical architecture, tension (velocity) of a spiral spring for high-speed manipulation, and workspace analysis. Experiments are conducted into two aspects of performance, which are the position input and force output (impedance haptic display). Experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed new mechanism as a haptic interface. Eventually, four inherent problems of conventional cable-suspended haptic interface are resolved reasonably from the developed three degrees of freedom cable-suspended haptic device and its control method.한국과학기술원 : 기계공학전공

    The personalization in knowledge portals and knowledge management systems is mainly performed based on users’ explicitly specified categories and keywords. The explicit specification approach requires users’ participation to start personalization services, and has limitation to adapt changes of users’ preference. This paper suggests two implicit personalization approaches: automatic user category assignment method and automatic keyword profile generation method. The performances of the implicit personalization approaches are compared with traditional personalization approach using an Internet news site experiment. The result of the experiment shows that the suggested personalization approaches provide sufficient recommendation effectiveness with lessening users’ unwanted involvement in personalization process

    Understanding collaborative filtering parameters for personalized recommendations in e-commerce

    No full text
    Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a popular method for personalizing product recommendations for e-Commerce and customer relationship management (CRM). CF utilizes the explicit or implicit product evaluation ratings of customers to develop personalized recommendations. However, there has been no in-depth investigation of the parameters of CF in relation to the number of ratings on the part of an individual customer and the total number of ratings for an item. We empirically investigated the relationships between these two parameters and CF performance, using two publicly available data sets, EachMovie and MovieLens. We conducted three experiments. The first two investigated the relationship between a particular customers number of ratings and CF recommendation performance. The third experiment evaluated the relationship between the total number of ratings for a particular item and CF recommendation performance. We found that there are ratings thresholds below which recommendation performance increases monotonically, i.e., when the numbers of customer and item ratings are below threshold levels, CF recommendation performance is affected. In addition, once rating numbers surpass threshold levels, the value of each rating decreases. These results may facilitate operational decisions when applying CF in practice. ?
