현대 디지털 패션쇼에 나타난 하이브리드 디지털 문화적 특성

Purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of the hybrid digital culture and to find out the features of digital fashion shows appearing in the period of the hybrid digital culture as there have been almost no studies on the hybrid cultural values in the fashion shows and on the diachronic socio-cultural viewpoint of fashion show. The characteristics of hybrid digital culture were identified through the analysis of cases, and they were organized into three for this study; ``non-economic creativity``, ``interactive communication`` and ``transcendence``. Based on these characteristics, the features of hybrid digital cultures in the modern digital fashion shows were classified into the digitalization of presentation form and the acceptance by audience of digitalization using case studies. The features of digital fashion shows which appear through the presentation form in the digital fashion shows are as follows; ``Expansion of presentation media of runway`` and ``Destruction of component factors of runway``. The features of digital fashion show in the perspective of audience``s acceptance of digitalization are as follows; ``Audience``s field experience through the live video``, ``Participation by audience in interactive manner`` and, ``Immersion in the virtual reality by the audiences``.

Digital and Multimedia Way Out to the Preservation of Ebibindwom (Akan Sacred Lyrics)

The Methodist Church which is recognized as one of the largest and oldest Protestant denomination in Ghana traces its roots back to the landing of Rev. Joseph Dunwell on January 1, 1835 in Cape Coast. During Rev. Thomas B. Freeman’s tenure as the Reverend Minister of the Methodist Church in Cape Coast, he encouraged the non-literate members of the Church to sing Ebibindwom when he realized they could not participate in the singing of English hymns. It’s worthy to note that the participation of the younger generation of the Church, in the singing of the Ebibindwom has dwindled. This paper is an attempt to present a way out to preserve this legacy in the digital and multimedia fashion so that the younger ones through the current technological era would learn, participate in, and sustain the singing ofEbibindwom.

디지털 패션쇼 사례분석 및 3D 디지털 패션쇼 제작에 관한 연구

A new technology of fashion show is opening the digital era and an imaginary fashion show is now arising as a new form of fashion show which allows one to enjoy a collection through the monitor without holding a real fashion show. Digital fashion show allows designer to create infinite ideas by articulating the designer`s concept through not only garments but also other factors. In this research, We will analyze cases which are mixtures of digital technology and fashion show and will suggest a new paradigm of fashion show by producing an imaginary fashion show which cannot be easily articulated in an ordinary real fashion show, articulated by garments created by digital technology and graphic effects. The program used for this study is `DC Suite 2.0` developed by Physan and Digital Clothing Center of Seoul National University, available for 2D pattern production and 3D simulation. In addition, in order to enhance representation of the visual effects, Maya`s Qualoth and V-ray program which could be compatible with `DC Suite` were used to make 3D digital fashion show.

Measurements of Fluorescence Decay Times by the Digital Parallel Frequency-Domain Method (FLIMbox)

The digital parallel frequency domain design is a powerful approach that offers the possibility to implement a variety of different applications in fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy. It allows lifetime measurements in a cuvette, fluorescence lifetime imaging and FCS as well as multi frequency and multi wavelength tissue imaging in small portable medical devices. It dramatically reduces the acquisition time from the several minutes scale to the seconds scale, and performs every signal process in a digital fashion, avoiding any RF emission and it is extremely inexpensive. This development is the result of a systematic study carried on the previous design known as the FLIMbox. The extensive work done in maximizing the performance of the original FLIMbox led us to develop a new hardware solution with exciting and promising results and potentials that were not possible in the previous hardware realizations. The new design permits acquisition of the full harmonic content of the sample response when it is excited with a pulsed light source in one single measurement using the digital mixing principle that was developed in the original FLIMbox. Furthermore, it is very stable, has very low power requirements and higher precision, and allows the multi exponential analysis. The FLIMbox can be synchronized with lasers that are intrinsically modulated or can generate a frequency to amplitude modulate a laser diode or LED. It provides up to four input channels, it has a saturation feedback control to avoid any time information loss, and it is only limited by the number of photons collected rather than by the sampling window implementation scheme.

패션디자인에 나타난 몰핑의 표현특성

This study analyzed the characteristics of morphing in fashion design through the documentaries on morphing and fashion. The characteristics of morphing in fine art, media, and design area were categorized as reversible metamorphosis, sequential dissolve and blurring of interpolation boundaries. The results were as follow in fashion design. Reversible metamorphosis showed an automatic silhouette transformation by remote control, the metamorphosis of folding method by wearer`s own movements and the automatic silhouette transformation by the air pressurizing method. It represented the thoughts of omnipotence as in the feeling of the magical world, the human desire for control in life, the rationalization of magical thinking and imaginative power, the creation of a new dress space and the extension of dress function. Sequential dissolve showed juxtaposition in the same area by the time order, juxtaposition in virtual space through the computer graphics, the series of fashion photography by steel cut of the dress making process and the blending of digital film and fashion design. It represented the approach for the storytelling of fashion show, implication of creative fashion design process and the creation of organic forms and the feeling of fantasy through artificial technology. The blurring of interpolation boundary showed an overlay of different fabrics with transparent boundaries, an overlay of different patterns with transparent boundaries and the blending of fabrics through the visual mixing of color. It represented the obfuscation of the object, the connotation of the space order, the connotation of the extensive and various meanings and the integrative property of objects.

Cutting the Fashion Body: Why the Fashion Image Is No Longer Still

This article considers the arrival of digital fashion film on the Internet by exploring the manner in which time, fragmentation, and a sense of play relate to our understanding of fashion. As a new form of high gloss representation, fashion film has challenged more traditional forms of fashion media. Some have argued that we are witnessing a period of change in which the digital image will render the static image obsolete. The article will focus on an analysis of stillness and movement as it relates to the iconic and symbolic meaning of the fashion image. Drawing upon the example of SHOWstudio's “The Fashion Body” and three of the forty-two films, which make up the project, the article will seek to demonstrate the profound nature of the change from the photograph to the moving image and in doing so will introduce digital fashion film as a genre that it is not simply a tool to stimulate consumption, but is something that is set to change our notion of fashion as a moment in time.

A review of the characteristics of digital art expressed in contemporary fashion

Rapidly developing digital technology is exercising influence across all fields of society. This article analyses the distinctive qualities of digital art and looks into the cases of fashion design where these qualities are expressed. To investigate the theoretical concept and characteristics of digital art, and also, to examine cases of digital art and fashion, documentary research and case studies are used. As a result, the characteristics of digital art are classified into five characteristics: perfect duplicability, interactivity, networkability, variability and compositeness. These characteristics are also found in contemporary fashion although specific forms take different ways. Fashion designers, in the same manner as artists, are not only experiencing digital influence in technology and culture, but also expressing it in their works. The further advancement of digital technology will exercise more influence on contemporary fashion in the future.

The Aesthetic Value and Art-media's Characteristics as Appeared in Contemporary Digital Fashion

In this modern digital era, there are very vigorous arguments about digital and media aesthetics throughout culture and art on the basis of new transferring of recognition about the art-media's characteristics. Therefore, this paper tries to discover the art-media's characteristics and aesthetic value that are included in contemporary digital fashion through studying the fusion between digital and fashion. The purpose of this research is to offer positive and evolutive opportunity of artistic thinking to make the meeting between fashion and media suggest the future generation, adaptation and recognition in the media - developmental environment that will be deeper and more fueling. In the area of research method, this paper takes the method of theoretical research by referring national and foreign literatures and preceding research-papers, and carries out investigation and analysis about digital fashion for the last 10 years. The results of this study; The art-media's characteristics of modern digital fashion are virtuality, immateriality and characteristics of multimedia. The aesthetic values can be classified with four kinds of properties. First is hybridity initiated from multi-media that creates works; the second is infinite reproductivity initiated from the characteristics of the multi media and the digital carrier. Thirdly, there is also interactivity appeared all over the area of production, adaptation and perception caused by non-linearity and immateriality. Finally there is synesthesia that can extend the capability of sense through digital media.

Discrete-Time MRAC with Minimal Controller Synthesis of an Electronic Throttle Body

AbstractHyperstability-based model reference adaptive controllers that use a Minimal Controller Synthesis (MCS) algorithm are known in the literature as MCS controllers. The adaptation gains that arise in the continuous-time MCS algorithm are nonlinear and, as a consequence, practical implementations have to be carried out in a digital fashion. However, the discrete-time versions of the MCS that have been used so far for implementation purposes are not proved to be asymptotically stable for plants from second order up. Recently, some of the authors have developed a hyperstable, discrete-time MCS algorithm with a formal proof of asymptotic stability for generic n-dimensional plants that can be used to control discretized continuous-time plants. This paper deals with the implementation and performance analysis of this algorithm to the problem of controlling an electronic throttle body in automotive engineering.

Centriole duplication: analogue control in a digital age

In preparation for mitosis, the centrosome doubles once and only once to provide the two poles of the mitotic spindle. The presence of more than two centrosomes increases the chances that mitosis will be multipolar, and chromosomes will be distributed unequally. Since the number of mother-daughter centriole pairs determines the number of centrosomes, it is important that only one daughter centriole is assembled at, but slightly separated from, the proximal end of each mother centriole. This numerical and spatial specificity has led to the belief that a 'template' on the mother centriole provides a unique site for procentriole assembly. We review observations that are leading to the demise of this intuitively attractive idea. In its place, we are left with the notion that pericentriolar material at the wall of the mother centriole provides a local environment that promotes the assembly of a macromolecular complex that seeds the daughter centriole. Even though the system normally behaves in a digital fashion to go from zero to just one daughter centriole per mother, this behaviour appears to be based in the precise analogue control of multiple proteins, their activities, and the structure provided by the mother centriole.

SVM and Collaborative Filtering-Based Prediction of User Preference for Digital Fashion Recommendation Systems

In this paper, we describe a method of applying Collaborative Filtering with a Machine Learning technique to predict users' preferences for clothes on online shopping malls when user history is insufficient. In particular, we experiment with methods of predicting missing values, such as mean value, SVD, and support vector regression, to find the best method and to develop and utilize a unique feature vector model.

New multigate pulsed Doppler system using second-order sampling

A new multigate Doppler system using second-order sampling is proposed. To reduce the hardware complexity and to eliminate the balancing problem between in-phase and quadrature signal channels in conventional systems, the proposed system uses a single signal processing channel. This system can be used in a multigate Doppler system and implemented in a full digital fashion.

Pipelined sampled-delay focusing in ultrasound imaging systems

A sampled-delay focusing technique was recently proposed by the authors which completely eliminates the use of analog L-C delay lines for beam focusing in ultrasound B-mode imaging systems. With this approach, the product of sampling rate and maximum time delay is required to be less than unity. To remove this constraint, we propose in this paper a first-in-first-out pipelining technique. This allows one to perform beam steering and dynamic focusing simultaneously on a resolution-cell basis and in a completely digital fashion without the use of analog L-C delay lines.
