본 논문은 심장이 수축$\cdot$이완함에 따라 그 형태와 위치가 변하는 관상동맥의 구조와 그 움직임을 사실적으로 표현하기 위한 매개변수적 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 완성된 모델은 관상동맥의 움직임을 관찰함으로써 심장질환 판단에 도움을 주고, 심장시술 시뮬레이션 및 시술계획수립에 사용될 수 있다. 매개변수적 기법으로 생성된 모델은 메쉬 정점의 인덱스만으로 모델간 매칭을 위한 대응점을 찾을 수 있으므로, 시간대별로 달라지는 정점의 위치를 쉽게 추적함으로써 모델의 움직임을 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 기법으로 생성된 모델은 분리, 접합 등의 변형조작이 어렵고, 트리형태 객체에 적용하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 분할된 혈관영역의 골격데이타에서 찾아낸 분기점을 중심으로 Generalized Cylinder를 이용하여 실린더 형태의 각 혈관세그먼트를 모델링 한 후, 분기영역을 3개의 하프파이프(half pipe)와 2개의 삼각형 패치로 연결하여 모델링하였다. 완성된 모델은 다시점 관상동맥데이터에 적용하였고, 각 시점에서 구해진 정점의 위치를 선형보간함으로써 부드러운 혈관의 움직임을 나타내었다.

This paper is a pilot study regarding an experimental and parametric study to investigate the structural behavior of slimfloor beam(ASB) in fire. The objective of this research is to obtain the rational fire resistance design method through understanding the structural behavior of composite members in fire. The flexural capacity of slimfloor section under various thermal conditions is examined on a basis of the strength retention of the materials at elevated temperatures and full bonding assumption. The effect of web thickness and ASB depth to the moment capacity in fire is also examined.

In this research we present a novel method which combines and visualizes the design model and the FDM-based simulation result of solidification. Moreover we employ VR displays and visualize stereoscopic images to provide an effective analysis environment. First we reconstruct the solidification simulation result to a rectangular mesh model using a conventional simulation software. Then each point color of the reconstructed model represents a temperature value of its position. Next we map the two models by finding the nearest point of the reconstructed model for each point of the design model and then assign the point color of the design model as that of the reconstructed model. Before this mapping we apply mesh subdivision because the design model is composed of minimum number of points and that makes the point distribution of the design model not uniform compared with the reconstructed model. In this process the original shape is preserved in the manner that points are added to the mesh edge which length is longer than a predefined threshold value. The implemented system visualizes the solidification simulation data on the design model, which allows the user to understand the object geometry precisely. The immersive and realistic working environment constructed with use of VR display can support the user to discover the defect occurrence faster and more effectively.

This paper deals with the problem of one-to-one mapping of $2^n$ task modules of a parallel program to an n-dimensional hypercube multicomputer so as to minimize to total communication cost during the execution of the task. The problem of finding an optimal mapping has been proven to be NP-complete. We first propose a graph modification technique which transfers the mapping problem in a hypercube multicomputer into the problem of finding a set of maximum cutsets on a given task graph. Using the graph modification technique, we then propose a repeated mapping scheme which efficiently finds a one-to-one mapping of task modules to a hypercube multicomputer by repeatedly applying an existing bipartitioning algorithm on the modified graph. The repeated mapping scheme is shown to be highly effective on a number of test task graphs, it increasingly outperforms the greedy and recursive mapping algorithms as the number of processors increase. The proposed algorithm is shown to be very effective for regular graph, such as hypercube-isomorphic or 'almost' isomorphic graphs and meshes; it finds optimal mapping on almost all the regular task graphs considered.

This paper presents a methodology and application for extracting parasitic inductances in a multi-level interconnect semiconductor structure by a numerical technique. In order to calculate the parasitic inductances, the distrubution of electric potential and current density in the metal lines are calculated by finite element method (FEM). Thereafter, the magneto-static energy caused by the current density in metal lines was calculated. The result of simulation is compared with the result of Grover equation about analytic simple structures, and 4 bit ROM array with a dimension of $13{\times}10.25{\times}8.25{\mu}m^3$ was simulated to extract the parasitic inductnaces. In this calculation, 6,358 nodes with 31,941 tetrahedra were used in ULTRA 10 workstation. The total CPU time for the simulation was about 150 seconds, while the memory size of 20 MB was required.

In this paper, we propose a GPU-based method for real-time processing of dynamic re-meshing required for tearing cloth. Thin shell materials are used in various fields such as physics-based simulation/animation, games, and virtual reality. Tearing the fabric requires dynamically updating the geometry and connectivity, making the process complex and computationally intensive. This process needs to be fast, especially when dealing with interactive content. Most methods perform re-meshing through low-resolution simulations to maintain real-time, or rely on an already segmented pattern, which is not considered dynamic re-meshing, and the quality of the torn pattern is low. In this paper, we propose a new GPU-optimized dynamic re-meshing algorithm that enables real-time processing of high-resolution fabric tears. The method proposed in this paper can be used for virtual surgical simulation and physics-based modeling in games and virtual environments that require real-time, as it allows dynamic re-meshing rather than pre-split meshes.

Litterfall and litter decomposition represent a major contribution to the carbon and nutrient inputs in a forest ecosystem. We measured litterfall quantity and nutrient dynamics in decomposing litter for two years at the Kwangneung broadleaf natural forest (DK site) in Korea. Litterfall was collected in circular littertraps (collecting area : 0.25 $m^2$) and mass loss rates and nutrient release patterns in decomposing litter were estimated using the litterbag technique employing 30 cm ${\times}$ 30 cm nylon bags with 1.5 mm mesh size. Total annual litterfall was 5,627 kg/ha/yr and leaf litter accounted for 61 % of the litterfall. The leaf litter quantity was highest in Quercus serrata, fallowed by Carpinus laxiflora and C. cordata, etc., which are dominant tree species in the site. Mass loss from decomposing leaf litter was more rapid in C. laxiflora and C. cordata than in Q. serrata litter. About 77% of C. laxiflora and 84% of C. cordata litter disappeared, while about 48% in Q. serrata litter lost over two years. Lower mass loss rates of Q. serrata litter may be attributed to the difference of substrate quality such as lower nutrient concentrations compared with the other litter types. Nutrient concentrations (N, P, Mg) of three litter types except for potassium (K) increased compared with initial nutrient concentrations of litter over the study period. Compared with Q. serrata litter, nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) in C. laxiflora and C. cordata litter were released rapidly. The results suggest that litter mass loss and nutrient dynamic processes among tree species vary considerably in the same site conditions.

In order to produce clear and favorable citrus wine from Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju island, chemical and microbiological processes for alcoholic fermentation were investigated. The ratio of pressed juice passed below 100 mesh sieve and peel of mandarin orange were 55.9% and 25.6% respectively. Orange juice for fermentation source contained 8.85% total sugar, 1.43% total acid and 0.056% volatile acid. Pressed juice was adjusted to 24 degree Brix with cane sugar, and was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for one month. Starter screened and selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274. As principal fermentation proceeded for one week, suspended solids began to precipitate slowly after then. After fermentation, clear citrus wine consisted of about 8 degree Brix residual sugar, $13.3{\sim}14.4%$ ethanol, $0.78{\sim}1.11%$ total acid, $0.05{\sim}0.07%$ methanol and $2.25{\sim}3.29%$ extract, was obtained. Color, flavor and taste of citrus wine found good with panel test. Citrus wine which was treated with fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger CCM-4 was cleared much faster, and could be filtered more rapidly than the untreated. The enzyme-producing strain was isolated from field soil of Cheju island and identified.

The HAN which is an ionic liquid is a non-toxic monopropellant with high storability, and its specific impulse can be increased by blending methanol, thereby it can substitute the hydrazine. The HAN was synthesized by acid-base reaction of hydroxylamine and nitric acid, and the blending ratio of HAN and methanol is 8.2:1. The iridium catalyst was used to decompose the HAN, and 1 N class thruster with shower head type injector having one orifice was used to evaluate the HAN/Methanol propellant. The thermal stability of distributor was increased by using ceramic material to endure the high temperature of product gas. The preheating temperature of catalyst should be $400^{\circ}C$ at least for the complete decomposition. The feeding pressure should be increased to increase the $C^*$ efficiency, thereby the decomposition performance was decreased upstream catalyst, and the performance of thruster was decreased. The fine metal mesh was inserted after the injector to improve the atomization of propellant, thereby it can settle the performance decrease problem. The phenomenon of performance decrease was remarkably improved owing to the insertion of fine metal mesh.

This study presents the visualization of shape information based on Octree using 3D laser scanning. The process of visualization was established to construct the Octree structure from the 3D scan data. The scan data was converted to a 2D surface through the mesh technique and the surface was then converted to a 3D object through the Raster/Vector transformation. The 3D object was transmitted to the Octree Root Node and The shape information was constructed by the recursive partitioning of the Octree Root Node. The test-bed was selected as the steel bridge structure in Sungkyunkwan University. The shape information based on Octree was condensed into 89.3%. In addition, the Octree compressibility was confirmed to compare the shape information of the office building, a computer science campus in Germany and a New College in USA. The basis is created by the visualization of shape information for double-deck tunnel and it will be expected to improve the efficiency of structural health monitoring and maintenance.
