The purpose of this study was to clarify the palatal arch length, width and volume in the primary and permanent dentition. Samples were consisted of normal occlusion in the primary dentition(50 males and 50 females) and permanent dentition(43 males and 43 females). Their upper plaster casts were used and through 3-dimensional laser scanning(3D Scanner, DS4060, LDI, U.S.A.), cloud data, polygonization, section curve, loft surface and fit and horizontal plane were made for measuring the palatal arch length, width and volume(Surfacer 10.0, Imageware, U.S.A.). Correlation coefficients were calculated separately for males and females in each group(SPSS 10.0). The results were as follows : 1. Average distance from the fit plane to the points(tooth-tooth-palate) was greater in the permanent dentition than those of primary dentition. 2. Palatal volume was greater more than 3 times in the permanent dentition, especially it was greater in male compared to female with significance(p<0.05). 3. Palatal width of male was greater in the primary and permanent dentition but palatal length, only in the permanent dentition than that of female(P<0.05). 4. Correlation coefficients were statistically most significant between the palatal volume and size of posterior palatal width and total palatal length(r=0.401, r=0.450, r=0.678, r=0.654).

H.264/AVC는 SoC/IEC MPEG와 ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group에서 함께 발표한 비디오 코딩을 위한 가장 최근의 표준이다. 기존의 표준들 보다 적은 비트로 높은 압축률과 좋은 화질을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 1/4 화소 움직임 예측과 보상의 지원과 7가지의 가변블록에 대한 움직임예측과 블록모드별 RD(Rate-Distortion)를 수행하고 CAVLC등 H.264/AVC 표준에서 채택한 여러 가지 비디오 압축방식으로 인해 그 복잡도가 훨씬 증가하였다. 이 논문에서 H.264/AVC의 복호화기에서 복잡도의 약 $40\%$ 이상을 차지하는 움직임보상 모듈을 효율적으로 수행하고 최적화하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 예측된 모션벡터에 따라 창조하는 프레임에서 매크로블록을 만들어 내는 움직임 보상 과정을 수행하는 데 있어서 접근 지연시간이 큰 외부 메모리 창조를 선인출 메커니즘을 이용하여 미리 예측하여 수행함으로써 전체 수행시간을 줄이는 기법을 적용하였다. 이를 통하여 가변길이 복호화 모듈과 움직임 보상모듈을 수정하여 반복적으로 읽고, 쓰기를 수행해야 하는 횟수를 줄였다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 이용하여 복호화 과정을 수행했을 때 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)의 손실은 전혀 없으면서 복호화기의 전체 실행시간을 약 $5\%$ 향상시키고, 핵심 모듈인 움직임 보상과정에서 약 $20\%$ 정도 실행시간을 향상시키는 등 높은 성능 향상을 보였다.

TRL error correction method is widely used for measuring high frequency device mounted on PCB. In order to correct error more precisely, the characteristic impedance of standard transmission line should be known mounted for error correction. The capacitance per the unit length of transmission line is calculated by using standard transmission line which terminate resistor additionally at previous method and the characteristic impedance of standard transmission line is calculated with fitting method according to frequency, but the characteristic impedance extracted by a manufacturing inaccuracy is influenced. In this study, a novel method can reduce the manufacturing inaccuracy using measured s-parameters and can extract more accurate characteristic impedance than the previous method.

Choromatic dispersion of single mode optical fibers limits the maximum bit rate in the single mode optical transmission systems. In this paper we calculate chromatic dispersion and dispersion parametes(zero dispersion wavelength, dispersion slope) for concatenated single mode optical fibers form the chromatic dispersion and dispersion parameters of individual single mode optical fibers, and compare theoretical valuse with those measrued by double demodulation method. Calculated values are coincident with measured ones reasonably. The standard deviation is 0.77-1.28nm for zero dispersion wavelength and 0.56-0.75PS/km.nm2 for dispersion slope. The standard deviation of zero dispersion wavelength is inverse proportional to the optical fiber lenght.

This paper presents the numerical results in strength and stress distribution behavior for the connections of corrugated steel plates (CSP). The results obtained using the finite element method indicate that the CSP with =30mm of longitudinal edge lap, by the current standard specification, has very conservative values. The results also indicate the difference of strength behavior from the bolt arrangement. The strength behavior of standard corrugated type with staggered holes is only affected by circumferential edge lap, but the edge lap and bolthole spacing have an effect on the strength behavior for the deeply corrugated type with parallel holes. Based on these results, this paper examines the current specification of the connections for CSP.

In designing heterogeneous architecture based application-specific network-on-chips (NoCs), the opportunities of performance improvement would be expanded when applying asynchronous on-chip communication protocol. This is because the wire latency can be configured independently considering the wirelength of each link. In this paper, we develop the delay model of link-wire-length in asynchronous NoC and propose simulated annealing (SA) based floorplan-aware topology generation algorithm to optimize link-wirelengths. Incorporating the generated topology and the associated latency values across all links, we evaluate the performance using the floorplan-annotated sdf (standard delay format) file and RTL-synthesized gate-level netlist. Compared to TopGen, one of general topology generation algorithms, the experimental results show the reduction in latency by 13.7% and in execution time by 11.8% in average with regards to four applications.

In order to design M/W(microwave) short backhaul above 10 GHz to meet the increase in mobile traffic demand, the rain attenuation as well as the atmospheric conditions such as Earth bulge and Fresnel zone should be considered. In this paper, the path lengths have been estimated theoretically in various frequency bands using the Korean standard rain rate, and an example of path profile has been analyzed in urban area utilizing spectrum management intelligence system (SMIS). These derived minimum path lengths in various frequency bands are compared to the foreign them, and then will be proposed to improve the Korean minimum path length unitized to 10 km. This paper will provide useful information for microwave engineers in designing a M/W access link, and be utilized to make an efficient usage of high frequency bands for the short mobile broadband backhaul.

The study is to recognize the interactions with bone ages by measuring the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate on selected highest weight of regions of seven for bone maturity in TW3 method. The experiment is subjected on seventy-two children (36 males, 36 females) who have examined the growth plate test from March, 2014 to March, 2015 and implemented a regression analysis by measuring the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate in Hand AP image of the children. In result, each bone age has produced a mean value and a standard deviation corresponding to the specific range and as bone age increases the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate decreased. In addition, female children showed lower mean value in comparison to male and also the measurement of the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate and its bone age are shown to be statistically valid(p<0.001) according to the results of regression analysis using its result value. Therefore, the probability of prediction on the bone age read off through the applied TW3 method and regression equation in the Hand AP image of the children.

This study addresses the applicability of box fractal dimension, $D_B$, as an index of statistical homogeneity of fractured rock mass. The box-count method's capability in quantifying the combined effect of fracture density and size distribution is examined systematically. Total of 129 two-dimensional fracture configurations were generated based on different combinations of fracture size distribution and fracture density. $D_B$was calculated for the generated fracture network systems using the box-counting method. It was found that was standard deviation of trace length and fracture orientation have no effect on calculated $D_B$. The estimated $D_B$ was found to increase with increasing total density and/or mean trace length. To explore the field applicability of this study, the statistical homogeneity of fractured rock mass was investigated at the rock slope and the underground facility using the box-counting method as well as conventional contingency table analysis. The results obtained in this study clearly show that the methodologies given in this paper have the capability of determining the statistical homogeneity of fractured rock mass.

The effects of joint density and size distribution on the hydrogeologic characteristics of jointed rock masses are addressed through numerical experiments based on the 2-D DFN (discrete fracture network) fluid flow analysis. Using two joint sets, a total of 51 2-D joint network system were generated with various joint density and size distribution. Twelve fluid flow directions were chosen every $30^{\circ}$ starting at $0^{\circ}$, and total of 612 $20m{\times}20m$ DFN blocks were prepared to calculate the directional block conductivity. Also, the theoretical block conductivity, principal conductivity tensor and average block conductivity for each generated joint network system were determined. The directional block conductivity and chance for the equivalent continuum behavior of the 2-D DFN system were found to increase with the increase of joint density or size distribution. However, the anisotropy of block hydraulic conductivity increases with the increase of density discrepancy between the joint sets, and the chance for the equivalent continuum behavior were found to decrease. The smaller the intersection angle of the two joint sets, the more the equivalent continuum behavior were affected by the change of joint density and size distribution. Even though the intersection angle is small enough that it is difficult to have equivalent continuum behavior, the chance for anisotropic equivalent continuum behavior increases as joint density or size distribution increases.
