As a new standard for performance measurement, NEMA NU2-2001 was presented recently. In this study, I investigated the spatial resolution, sensitivity, scatter fraction, and noise equivalent count ratio (NECR) in order to know the information of physical characteristics and system performance of GE discovery ST using this new standard. Bismuth germinate crystals ($6{\times}6$ array, $6.3mm{\times}6.3mm{\times}30mm$) were used in discovery ST (energy window:375-650 keV, coincidence window:11.7 nsec). To measure the sensitivity, five aluminum sleeves (Data Spectrum Corp., Chapel Hill, NC., USA, thickness:1.25 mm)-NEMA sensitivity phantom- filled with F-18 solution were used. Successive measurements in 2D and 3D acquisition mode were made with a line source at the center of transaxial field of view and 10 cm off from the center until the count was over 500,000. Spatial resolution was estimated using a point source (F-18, 0.1 mCi) at different locations in the FOV. Scatter fraction and NECR was tested using a NEMA scatter phantom. Dynamic data were acquired for 7 half-lives using F-18 solution. And true to background ratio was averaged at last three frames when the random rate was as small as ignorable for the calculation of scatter fraction. We anticipate this overall evaluated results could be used for the quality assurance and optimized image acquisition for clinical research.

Given a distribution of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph G, a pebbling move is defined as the removal of two pebbles from some vertex and the placement of one of those pebbles at an adjacent vertex. The t-pebbling number, $f_t(G)$, of a connected graph G, is the smallest positive integer such that from every placement of $f_t(G)$ pebbles, t pebbles can be moved to any specified vertex by a sequence of pebbling moves. A graph G has the 2t-pebbling property if for any distribution with more than $2f_t(G)$ - q pebbles, where q is the number of vertices with at least one pebble, it is possible, using the sequence of pebbling moves, to put 2t pebbles on any vertex. In this paper, we determine the t-pebbling number for the middle graph of a complete binary tree $M(B_h)$ and we show that the middle graph of a complete binary tree $M(B_h)$ satisfies the 2t-pebbling property.

한국산 나비나물속(Vicia)에 속하는 10분류군의 체세포 염색체수와 그 중 6분류군에 대한 핵형분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 나비나물속의 체세포 염색체수는 2n = 12, 14 또는 24로서, 기본 염색체수 x = 6 또는 7의 이배체와 사배체로 밝혀졌다. 한국특산식물인 나래완두(V. hirticalycina, 2n = 2x = 12)의 염색체수는 본 연구에서 처음으로 밝혀졌다. 가는살갈퀴(V. angustifolia, 2n = 2x = 12), 등갈퀴나물(V. cracca, 2n = 4x = 24), 새완두(V. hirsuta, 2n = 2x = 14), 얼치기완두(V. tetrasperma, 2n = 2x = 14 + 2B), 벌완두(V. amurensis, 2n = 2x = 12), 노랑갈퀴(V. chosenensis, 2n = 2x = 12, 12 + 2B), 나비나물(V. unijuga, 2n = 4x = 24), 애기나비나물(V. unijuga f. minor, 2n = 4x = 24), 광릉갈퀴(V. venosa var. cuspidata, 2n = 4x = 24)의 체세포 염색체수는 기존의 보고들과 일치하였다. 핵형분석 결과, 등갈퀴나물은 2 m + 8 sm+ 2 st, 벌완두는 2 m + 2 sm + 2st, 나래완두는 3 m + 1 sm+ 2 st, 나비나물과 애기나비나물은 4 m + 6 sm + 2 st, 광릉갈퀴는 4 m + 8 sm로 각각 조사되었다.

사람이 서있는 동안의 안정성 감소는 낙상에 영향을 끼치는 요인 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 논문은 낙상 발생률이 높은 65세 이상의 노인여성을 대상으로 균형기능 검사를 실시하고, 성인여성의 연령대별 비교를 통해 균형능력이 노화에 따라 변화해가는 정형외과 및 신경학적 요인들을 밝혀 낙상을 예방하고자 한다. 연구 대상자는 보조기나 약물복용 없이 독립보행이 가능한 65세 이상의 신체 건강한 노인여성 10명(평균연령: 71.9세)과 성인여성 10명(평균연령: 23.2세)으로 하였다. 균형능력 평가장치(Tetrax)를 이용하여 8가지 자세에 대한 안정성 지수(Stability Index, ST), 푸리에 지수(Fourier index, F), 체중분표(Weight Distribution (%), WD), 체중분포율 지수(Weight Distribution Index, WDI), 동기화 지수(Synchronization Index, SI), 낙상율지수(fall index, FI)를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 안정성 지수(ST)는 노인여성과 성인여성간 PO를 제외한 모든 자세에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<.01) 푸리에지수는 낮은주파수(low, F1)에서 PO를 제외한 모든 자세에서 노인여성과 성인여성은 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<.01). 또한 중간낮은 주파수(middle-low, F2-F4), 중간높은주파수(middle-high, F5-F6), 높은주파수(high, F7-F8) 모두에서 노인여성이 성인여성보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 모든 자세에서 노인여성의 체중분포율지수가 더 높게 나타났으나, PO와 PC에서만 통계적으로 유의했다. 이는 노화에 따른 생리학적 변화로 체성감각기관, 전정기관, 중추신경계등 전반적인 부분에서 능력이 저하됨에 따라 나타난 것으로 사료된다.

동영상에서의 객체 추적은 보안, 색인 및 검색, 감시, 통신, 압축 등 다양한 분야에서 중요하다. 본 논문은 HEVC 비트스트림 상에서의 객체 추적 방법을 제안한다. 복호화를 수행하지 않고, 비트스트림 상에 존재하는 움직임 벡터(MV : Motion Vector)와 부호화 크기 정보를 Spatio-Temporal Markov Random Fields (ST-MRF) 모델에 적용해 객체 움직임의 공간적 및 시간적 특성을 반영한다. 변환계수를 특징점으로 활용하는 객체형태 조정 알고리즘을 적용해 ST-MRF 모델 기반 객체 추적방법에서 나타나는 과분할에 의한 오차전파 문제를 해결한다. 제안하는 방법의 추적성능은 정확도 86.4%, 재현율 79.8%, F-measure 81.1%로 기존방법 대비 평균 F-measure는 약 0.2% 향상하지만 기존방법에서 과분할 및 오차전파가 두드러지는 영상에 대해서는 최대 9% 정도의 성능향상을 보인다. 전체 수행시간은 프레임 당 평균 5.4ms이며 실시간 추적이 가능하다.

Objective: This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic characteristics of Berkshire (BS), Landrace (LR), and Yorkshire (YS) pig breeds raised in the Great Grandparents pig farms using the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) information. Methods: A total of 25,921 common SNP genotype markers in three pig breeds were used to estimate the expected heterozygosity ($H_E$), polymorphism information content, F-statistics ($F_{ST}$), linkage disequilibrium (LD) and effective population size ($N_e$). Results: The chromosome-wise distribution of $F_{ST}$ in BS, LR, and YS populations were within the range of 0-0.36, and the average $F_{ST}$ value was estimated to be $0.07{\pm}0.06$. This result indicated some level of genetic segregation. An average LD ($r^2$) for the BS, LR, and YS breeds was estimated to be approximately 0.41. This study also found an average $N_e$ of 19.9 (BS), 31.4 (LR), and 34.1 (YS) over the last 5th generations. The effective population size for the BS, LR, and YS breeds decreased at a consistent rate from 50th to 10th generations ago. With a relatively faster $N_e$ decline rate in the past 10th generations, there exists possible evidence for intensive selection practices in pigs in the recent past. Conclusion: To develop customized chips for the genomic selection of various breeds, it is important to select and utilize SNP based on the genetic characteristics of each breed. Since the improvement efficiency of breed pigs increases sharply by the population size, it is important to increase test units for the improvement and it is desirable to establish the pig improvement network system to expand the unit of breed pig improvement through the genetic connection among breed pig farms.

For j = 0, 1, 2,…, k - 1; k ≥ 2; and - 1 ≤ B < A ≤ 1, we have introduced the functions classes denoted by ST_[j,k](A, B) and K_[j,k](A, B), respectively, called the generalized (j, k)-symmetric starlike and convex functions. We first proved the sharp bounds on |f(z)| and |f'(z)|. Various radii related problems, such as radius of (j, k)-symmetric starlikeness, convexity, strongly starlikeness and parabolic starlikeness are determined. The quantity |a²₃ - a₅|, which provide the initial bound on Zalcman functional is obtained for the functions in the family ST_[j,k]. Furthermore, the sharp pre-Schwarzian norm is also established for the case when f is a member of K_[j,k](α) for all 0 ≤ α < 1.

The purpose of the study was to confirm the influence of fluoride to enamel decalcification. Specimens were prepared from 20 extracted teeth. Every tooth was sliced into 4 pieces by means of seperating disc. The pieces with sound enamel were distributed to 4 groups. 1st group was treated with 0.5% NaF solution for 2 minutes. 2nd group was treated with 0.5% NaF solution for 10 minutes. 3rd group was treated with 1% NaF solution for 2 minutes. 4th group was treated with 1% NaP solution for 10 minutes. The enamel surface of each specimen were decalcified with 30% $H_3PO_4$ for 2 minutes and the findings through electron microscope were as follows; 1. The degree of decalcification on the 1st group was greater than that of the 2nd group. 2. Roughness of the 3rd group was slightly higher than that of the 4th group. 3. Under the same procedure of decalcification, the specimen treated by higher conceutration of NaF solution for same length of time showed less decalcified picture. 4. Under the same procedure, of decalcification, the specimens treated by same concentration of NaF solution for different length of time, were compared and found longer the time less decalcified.

본 논문은 (1-x-y)PMN-yPT-xST세라믹스의 유전 및 변위특성을 ST의 양에 따라 조사하였다. ST의 성분은 1∼ 6㏖%이내로 변화시켰고 과잉 MgO에 따른 조성변화에 따라 결과를 조사하였다. ST의 성분의 증가에 따라 유전상수는 5㏖%인 조성에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 큐리온도는 ST의 성분이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였다. 항전계와 잔류분극은 l㏖%인 조성에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 과잉 MgO의 효과에 따라 유전상수는 0.8PMN-0.12PT-0.04ST조성에서 MgO를 3㏖%까지 과잉 첨가함에 따라 증가하였으나 변위특성은 감소함을 나타내었다.

This paper reports the results of a study designed to understand and facilitate disaster mitigation for communities located in low frequency/high magnitude earthquake zones. The study is based on a small town located near the New Madrid Fault Zone and is therefore at significant earthquake risk. A system dynamics model describes the variables and policies governing the distribution of building safety over time. Data from this town is used to establish a 25-year baseline. Simulations are run to demonstrate the consequences of different building policies.
