본 논문에서는 2차원 분모분리형 디지털 필터의 선계에 대한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 진폭 특성과 위상특성으로 주어진 2차원 디지털 필터의 주파수 영역 설계명세조건을 특이치 분해를 이용하여 1차원 디지털 필터의 설계명세조건으로 분해한다. 따라서, 2차원 디지털 필터 설계문제는 1차원 디지털 필터의 설계 문제로 귀착되며 이는 계산적으로 유효하며 수치적으로 안정한 설계법으로 고려되며 설계 예로부터 유효성을 확인한다.

About 70 high redshift quasars with $z{\geq}5$ have been discovered through combinations of standard broad-band filters to distinguish them from contaminating sources. However, among the discovered quasars so far, there is a redshift gap at $5{\leq}z{\leq}6$ due to the limitation of traditional filter sets and selection techniques. To understand the early mass growth of supermassive black holes and the final stage of the cosmic reionization, it is important to find a statistically meaningful sample of quasars with various physical properties. Here we suggest a new selection technique of high redshift quasars using medium-band filters: nine filters with bandwidths of 50nm and central wavelengths from 625 to 1025nm. Photometry with these medium-bands traces the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a source, similar to spectroscopy with R~15. We installed these filters to SED camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse (SQUEAN) on the 2.1m telescope at McDonald Observatory, and conducted test observations of known high redshift quasars at $4.7{\leq}z{\leq}6.1$ and also dwarf stars for comparison. We found differences in SED shapes between high redshift quasars and dwarf stars, determined their locations on color-color diagrams, and demonstrated that the medium-band filters can enhance the efficiency of selecting robust quasar candidates in this redshift range. In this poster, we propose an effective selection method of high redshift quasars using these medium-band filters and discuss its effect on our high redshift quasar survey.

본 연구에서는 플라스틱과 Woodchip을 주원료로 하여 복합플라스틱계 담체를 개발하고 성능평가를 실시하였다. 개발담체는 기존상용화 담체에 비하여 처리효율 및 미생물 부착성 등은 유사하였으나, 경제적인 측면에서 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 담체의 성능평가는 Lab scale의 바이오트리클링필터에 개발담체를 충진하여 톨루엔과 황화수소를 대상으로 제거효율 및 운전인자 등을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 톨루엔 제거효율은 가스유입량 $1.5\;m^3/hr$, 유입농도 260ppm, 공탑체류시간 42s 운전조건에서 90% 이상으로 높게 나타내었으며, 톨루엔 최대제거능은 $77\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$이었다. 황화수소와 톨루엔 동시제거 실험에서는 $H_2S$와 톨루엔이 효과적으로 제거되었다. $H_2S$의 최대제거능은 $100\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}hr$이었으며, $H_2S$ 농도가 100 ppm까지는 톨루엔제거에 영향을 주지 않았으나 $H_2S$ 농도가 증가함에 따라 톨루엔 제거효율은 감소되었다.

Coated filters were developed to replace the glass impinger methods that use reagent solutions. The purpose of this study was to simultaneously measure nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) and respirable suspended particles (RSP) by a filtration method with a cyclone connected to a pump. A first pre-filter for RSP and second filter for $NO_2$, which was soaked in a TEA (Triethanolamine) solution, were loaded into a filter cassette with a pump flow rate of 1.7 l/m. After sampling, the TEA soaked filter was removed from the cassette, placed in a large test tube (10 ml), mixed, and allowed time to develop. The absorbance (abs) of the diazo compound of the $NO_2$ and N-(1-Napthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride) in the color reagent was measured at 545 nm on a spectrophotometer. The collection efficiency(%) of $NO_2$ by each 3 filter soaked in TEA solution and used in the cyclone with a pump flow rate 1.7 l/m was $89{\pm}3%$ and the correlation coefficient between the true $NO_2$ concentration and that determined by the TEA soaked filters was 0.993(p<0.001).

The x-ray fluorescence(XRF) is one of the most convenient and widely used techniques for analyzing trace elements in ambient particulate matters. The objects of the study were to estimate the optimum exposure time using the XRF, to investigate the distributions of heavy metal levels in particulate matters, and finally to study seasonal variation for the concentrations of total suspended particulate matters(TSP) and size fractionated particulate matters. The suspended particulate matters had been collected by a cascade impactor having 9 size fragnated stages for 3 years(Dec. 1988 to Nov. 1991) in Kyung Hee University-Suwon Campus. The particulate matters were then collected on each stage by membrane filters. The weight concentrations were determined by the XRF system. Thus, seasonal variations and relationship between concentration and particle size could be investigated. Resulting distribution was bimodal with the coarse and the fine particle groups minimum occurring around 2.1 to 3.3 $\mu$m as an aerodynamic diameter. To determine optimum exposure time of the XRF for various trace inorganic elements, membrane filters and the NIST standard filters were extensively studied. Using a statistical technique, optimum exposure time was estimated for each trace element and overall elements. The time was then determined as 20 seconds for the XRF system. The concentration of TSP was 123.9$\mum/m^3$ on an arithmatic average. The levels of each inorganic metal were Si 2420.0ng/$m^3$, Fe 977.1ng/$m^3$, and so on. The Pb. Zn, and Cu abounded in the fine mode group, while Ca, Fe, Si, Al, and K in the coarse group. Marked seasonal variation of TSP and metal concentrations was observed. The concentration of heavy metals in the fine mode was highest in winter : on the other hand, that in the coarse mode was highest in spring.

M채널 NPR(Near-Perfect Reconstruction) pseudo-QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter) 뱅크의 설계는 일반적으로 SF(Spectral Factorization) 접근 방식을 혼합하여 많이 사용하며, 분리와 합성 필터들은 프로토타입 저역통과 필터(prototype lowpass filter : p-LPF)를 코사인 변조하여 사용한다. 그러나 이 방식은 $2M^{-th}$ 대역 필터 $G(z)=z^{-(N-1)}H(z^{-1})H(z)$의 SF 방식에 의해 p-LPF H(z)을 설계하기 때문에 p-LPF가 선형위상을 갖지 못할 뿐만 아니라 진폭왜곡이 최적화되지도 않았다. 따라서 대부분의 방법들이 재생 진폭왜곡 보다는 중첩상쇄왜곡을 줄이기 위한 p-LPF 설계를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 NPR pseudo-QMF 뱅크 구현에 필요한 p-LPF 설계를 위해 폐쇄형전달함수를 갖는 선형위상의 Maxflat(maximally flat) FIR 필터를 이용하는 새로운 방식을 제안하였다. 또한 폐쇄형주파수함수를 이용하여 $2M^{-th}$ 대역 필터 $G(z)=H^2(z)$로 표현되는 2M개 채널들의 전체진폭응답이 단일응답을 갖도록 p-LPF H(z)을 최적화하는 방법이 제안되었다. 실험 결과 시스템 최대진폭 왜곡이 $3.5{\times}10^{-4}\;({\simeq}-70dB)$보다 적고 각 분리 및 합성 필터들의 저지대역 감쇠가 -100dB 이상의 매우 뛰어난 NPR pseudo-QMF 뱅크 설계가 가능함이 증명되었다.

In the dust separation by using porous filter media, the structure of dust layer deposited on the filter surface of filter medium directly affects the effective filtration. The present study has investigated the specific resistance (K$_2$') of the dust layer and its porosity ($\varepsilon$$_{c}$) for three different filters; FA composite filter, metal fiber filter and stainless filter. The specific resistance (K$_2$') increased and at the same time the cake porosity ($\varepsilon$$_{c}$) decreased with the increase of filtration velocity, possibly due to the compressible effect of dust layer. However, under the low dust concentration, subsequent dust particles would block the open channels through the layer resulting in high specific resistance of the layer. The FA composite filter among three filters was shown to be the most effective filter for dust cake filtration at low filtration velocities less than 0.1 m/s for an approximate dust concentration of 5 g/㎥.

In an experiment using chest radiography, the authors measured the scattered ray content ratio and exposed skin dose giving varieties to the object thickness, tube voltage, additional filters and gird. The result was as follows, In the 80 kV the required mAs for the density 1.8 was $10{\sim}20$ times as much as in the 140 kV, and when 10 : 1 grid was used the required mAs was $3{\sim}5$ times as much as when grid was not used. Under the same tube voltage the scattered ray content ratios were increased as the additional filter thickness became thicker. And when 10 : 1 grid was used the ratio could be decreased $2{\sim}5$ times as much as when grid was not used. Skin doses exposed to the patients were increasing as the thickness of the object became thicker, and were decreasing as filters became thicker while showing slow the decreasing effects above the 1/8 VL. And when the grid was used skin doses were increased $2{\sim}4$ times as much as when not used. In order to improve the image qualities while reducing the exposures in the chest radiography, the authors suggest followings. The additional filters up to the 1/2 VL will be suitable according to the thickness of the objects in the 80kv, while the 10 : 1 grid and additional filter of 1/8 VL will be suitable in the 140 kV.

The filtration tests were made in cell with a low concentrated suspension. The suspension with a concentration of $C_{M}$=1.14～2.67$\cdot$$10^{-3}$ g/g consists of paper paint and water. The particles in the suspension have a particle size x<1${\mu}m$. The used depth filters consists of glass fibres, which are coated by polymer. The filtration in depth filters accorded in different mechanism, which were explained by physical models. The model which would be allows to make a promise of the filtration reaction. This filter media allows to get a high filtration time and a good separation rate. The Particle distribution is measured by a photon correlation spectroscopy(PCS). PCS measures particle sizes 0.03 ${\mu}m$${\mu}m$ in the suspension. The filtered suspension has a very low concentration Co{\le}5{\times}10_{-4}$ g/g of solid in sample. The PCS also informs us about the number of the particles in the suspension. The makes it possible to calculate the concentration of the in sample.

Purpose: This study examined the influence of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool, sharpening filters, and their combination on the diagnosis of vertical root fracture (VRF) in teeth with metallic posts using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Twenty single-rooted human premolars - 9 with VRF and 11 without - were individually placed in a human mandible. A metallic post composed of a cobalt-chromium alloy was inserted into the root canal of each tooth. CBCT scans were then acquired under the following parameters: 8 mA, a 5×5 cm field of view, a voxel size of 0.085 mm, 90 kVp, and with MAR either enabled or disabled. Five oral and maxillofacial radiologists independently evaluated the CBCT exams under each MAR mode and across 3 sharpening filter conditions: no filter, Sharpen 1×, and Sharpen 2×. The diagnostic performance was quantified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. These metrics were compared using 2-way analysis of variance with a significance level of α=5%. Intra- and inter-examiner agreement were assessed using the weighted kappa test. Results: Neither MAR nor the application of sharpening filters significantly impacted AUC or specificity (P>0.05). However, sensitivity increased when MAR was combined with Sharpen 1× and Sharpen 2× (P=0.015). The intra-examiner agreement ranged from fair to substantial (0.34-0.66), while the inter-examiner agreement ranged from fair to moderate (0.27-0.41). Conclusion: MAR in conjunction with sharpening filters improved VRF detection; therefore, their combined use is recommended in cases of suspected VRF.
