Modeling 3D buildings is an essential process to revive the real world into a computer. There are two ways to create a 3D building model. The first method is to use the building layer of 1:1000 digital maps based on high density point data gained from airborne laser surveying. The second method is to use LiDAR point data with digital images achieved with LiDAR. In this research we tested one sheet area of 1:1000 digital map with both methods to process a 3D building model. We have developed a process, analyzed quantitatively and evaluated the efficiency, accuracy, and reality. The resulted differed depending on the buildings shape. The first method was effective on simple buildings, and the second method was effective on complicated buildings. Also, we evaluated the accuracy of the produced model. Comparing the 3D building based on LiDAR data and digital image with digital maps, the horizontal accuracy was within ${\pm}50cm$. From the above we derived a conclusion that 3D building modeling is more effective when it is based on LiDAR data and digital maps. Using produced 3D building modeling data, we will be utilized as digital contents in various fields like 3D GIS, U-City, telematics, navigation, virtual reality and games etc.

The aim of the study is to present a method to build an octree and to query from it for huge 3D point clouds of which volumes correspond or surpass the main memory, based on the memory-efficient octree developed by Han(2013). To the end, the method directly refers to 3D point cloud stored in a file on a hard disk drive instead of referring to that duplicated in the main memory. In addition, the method can save time to rebuild octree by storing and restoring it from a file. The memory-referring method and the present file-referring one are analyzed using a dataset composed of 18 million points surveyed in a tunnel. In results, the memory-referring method enormously exceeded the speed of the file-referring one when generating octree and querying points. Meanwhile, it is remarkable that a still bigger dataset composed of over 300 million points could be queried by the file-referring method, which would not be possible by the memory-referring one, though an optimal octree destination level could not be reached. Furthermore, the octree rebuilding method proved itself to be very efficient by diminishing the restoration time to about 3% of the generation time.

This study evaluated in vitro antioxidant activity, antioxidant content, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of ethanol extracts of samnamul (shoot of Aruncus dioicus), miyeokchwi (Solidago virgaurea), daraesoon (shoot of Actinidia arguta Planchon), and bangpungnamul (leaves of Ledebouriella seseloides), as muknamul, and fresh chamnamul (Pimpinella brachycarpa). Tocopherol content (4.8-78.3 mg/100 g) of sanchae was lower than polyphenols (4.4-12.2 g/100 g). Daraesoon with high tocopherol contents showed high antioxidant activity and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities. Samnamul had the highest levels of polyphenols and flavonoids, the highest antioxidant activity, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition. Antioxidant activity was correlated with flavonoid content ($r^2=0.8895$), but was not correlated with the levels of other antioxidants tested, suggesting that polyphenol content in samnamul, miyeokchwi, daraesoon, bangpung, and chamnamul might not be critical determinant of antioxidant activity. Our results strongly suggest that samnamul and daraesoon could be useful in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

This study was conducted to find out an alternative way of rapid and accurate analysis of forage quality. Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to evaluate the possibility of forage analysis. 175 samples consisted of Italian ryegrass, whole crop barley and pea seeded spring in 2009 were collected. The samples were analyzed for moisture, crude protein (CP), crude ash (CA), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and also scanned using NIRSystem with wavelength from 400~2,500 nm. Multiple linear regression was used with wet analysis data for developing the calibration model and validated unknown samples. The important index in this experiment were SEC, SEP. The r2 value for moisture, CP, CA, ADF, and NDF in calibration set was 0.65, 0.97, 0.93, 0.99, and 0.97 and also was 0.15, 0.94, 0.96, 0.98 and 0.98 in validation set, respectively. The results of this experiment indicates that NIRS was reliable analytical method to assess forage quality for CP, CA ADF and NDF except moisture content in forage when proper samples incorporated into the equation development.

A placebo-controlled double-blind ingestion study of a beauty supplement containing rice-derived ceramide was performed. Thirty three subjects who always tended to have rough skin due to dryness participated in the study. Dermatological diagnosis by physicians showed that the supplement significantly improved dryness and itching of the skin. On measurement of water content in the skin, the supplement was shown to significantly increase water content in the skin. On microscopic three-dimensional analysis of the epidermis, the supplement was shown to improve smoothness, exfoliation, and short-term ingestion of the supplement containing rice derived ceramide, which is very effective as skin beautifying food.

Twitter has been continuously growing since October, 2006. Especially, not only the users and the number of messages have been increasing but also a new concept in social networking called 'micro blogging' has diffused. Within Korea, service such as 'me2day' has already been introduced and the improvement of internet accessibility within mobile devices is expected to expand the 'micro blogs'. In this point, this research is executed to study the new medium, 'micro blog'. To do so, we collected and analyzed Twitter logs of Korean users. Especially, we were curious about the extreme heavy users using Twitter, despite of the linguistic and cultural barrier of the foreign service. Who they are, why and how they use the 'micro blog'. First, we reviewed the general aspect of followers and messages by collecting a certain number of random samples. Using the Lorenz curve we found out that there was the imbalance within the users and based on this phenomenon we deducted an extreme heavy user group. In order to perform further analysis, log analysis was performed on the extreme heavy users. As the result, the users used multiple mobile and desktop 'Twitter' clients. The usage pattern was similar to that of internet usage time but was used during their "micro" time. The users using 'Twitter' not only to spread messages about important information, special events and emotions, but also as a habitual 'chatting tool' to express ordinary personal chats similar to SMS and IM services. In this research, it is proved that 68% of the total messages were ordinary personal chats. Also, with 24% of the total messages were retweets, we were able to find out that virtually connected 'people' and 'relationships' acted as the dominant trigger of their articulation.

A strength of BitTorrent, which is widely used for file sharing today, is due to its peer selection mechanism which is designed to encourage peers to contribute data. In the peer selection phase in BitTorrent, peers to upload the file in a swarm are selected by determining which peers upload the most to themselves. However, the number of peers to upload (i.e., number of unchoked peers) is fixed to four in its peer selection mechanism of BitTorrent, which yields inefficiency because the situation of the swarm may vary frequently (e.g., number of peers in the swarm, download rates, and upload rates). In this paper, we analyze the swarming system performance when the number of unchoked in BitTorrents is not static, but dynamic. For empirical investigation, we established a testbed in Seoul National University by modifying an open-source BitTorrent client, which is popular. Through our experiments, we show that an adaptive mechanism to adjust the number of unchoked peers considering the situation of the swarm is needed to improve the performance of BitTorrent.

The physicochemical characteristics of abalone meat aged in Kochujang at $20^{\circ}C$ were studied. Moisture contents of Kochujang, which contained raw, roasted, and steamed abalone, increased to 14.9, 10.7, and 7.8%, respectively, compared to control at day 1. The moisture contents of all products were equilibrated at 53.5% approximately after 2 weeks. Hunter's L, a, and b values increased in all products. Total microbial counts were 5.74, 5.70, and 5.83 log CFU/g in the products and increased to 0.28, 0.30, 0.11 log CFU/g, respectively, after 28 days storage at $20^{\circ}C$. After 8 days, the pH in the steamed abalone meat decreased gradually from 5.48 to 5.16 and the titratable acidity was the highest at day 14. Volatile base nitrogens of raw, roast, and steamed abalone were 1.4, 0.9, and 2.7 mg%, but the values in the Kochujang products were 14.0, 13.8, and 11.6 mg% at day 1, and 15.5, 13.3 and 11.3 mg% at day 8, respectively. Quality of the product prepared with steamed abalone was the most acceptable by sensory evaluation.

This study was designed to develop natural browning inhibitors. The anti-browning effects of distilled water (SBD) and 80% ethanol extracts (SBE) of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in apple slices were investigated by L and ${\Delta}E$ values. Both SBD and SBE were effective in reducing the browning of apple slices and were successively fractionated into chloroform ($CHCl_3$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and water ($H_2O$) fractions. These extracts were measured for total phenolic content, flavonoid content, anti-oxidative activity (through free radical scavenging activity and the FRAP assay), ferrous ion chelation, and the inhibition of PPO (polyphenol oxidase) activity. Overall, fractions of SBE were better than fractions of SBD in all measurements. The highest total phenolic and flavonoid content were measured in the EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions of SBE. EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions also exhibited the highest anti-oxidative activities (in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging and the FRAP assay). Unusually, the highest ferrous ion chelating capacity was found in the $H_2O$ fraction of SBD, but the other fractions showed more than triple the ascorbic acid already in use. Also, $CHCl_3$ fractions showed a stronger inhibition of PPO activity than ascorbic acid. All of these results suggest that EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions from Scutellaria baicalensis can be used as natural anti-browning agents.

Insertion of cannulae into vessels may disturb the blood flow doing non-physiological load and stress on blood cells such that ADP may increase and result in hemolysis. Authors used the computational method to simulate the 3-dimensional blood flow inside of the cannula using numerical method. We limited the research to within the drainage cannulae with side holes inserted through the human vein. In this paper, 9 different cannulae with side holes categorized by the number of side holes of 4, 12, and 20, and also categorized by the array type of side holes of staggered array, in-line array, and alternative in-line array were studied and compared to the cannula with no side holes by using CFD analysis. We evaluated the flow rate, the wall shear stress, and the shear rate and compared them with one another to estimate the effect of the side holes. The flow rate is not proportional to the number of the side holes. However, larger number of side holes can reduce the mean shear rate. Both the number and the array type of side holes play an important role on the fluid dynamics of the blood flow in cannulae.
