Fingerprint recognition is a task to find a matching pattern in a database for a specific persons fingerprint. To accomplish this task, preprocessing, classification, and matching steps are taken for a large-scale fingerprint database but only the matching step is taken without classification for a small-scale database. The primary matching method is based on minutiae (ridge ending point, bifurcation). This matching method, however, requires a very complex computation to extract minutiae and match minutiae-to-minutiae accurately due to translation, rotation, nonlinear deformation of fingerprint and occurrence of spurious minutiae. In addition, this method requires a laborious preprocessing step in order to improve the quality of fingerprint Images. This paper proposes a new simple method to eliminate these problems. With this method, Gabor variance is used instead of minutiae for fingerprint recognition. The Gabor variance is computed from Gabor features that result from filtering a fingerprint image through Gabor filter. In this paper, this method is described and its test result is shown, demonstrating the potential of using this new method for fingerprint recognition.

Cancer has been the most frequent in Korea, and pathogenesis and progression of cancer have been known to be occurred through various causes and stages. Recently, the research of chromosomal and genetic disorder and the research about prognostic factor to predict occurrence, recurrence and progress of chromosomal and genetic disorder have been performed actively. In this paper, we analyzed DNA methylation data downloaded from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas), open database, to research bladder cancer which is the most frequent among urinary system cancers. Using three level of methylation data which had the most preprocessing, 59 candidate CpG island were extracted from 480,000 CpG island, and then we analyzed extracted CpG island applying data mining technique. As a result, cg12840719 CpG island were analyzed significant, and in Cox's regression we can find the CpG island with high relative risk in comparison with other CpG island. Shown in the result of classification analysis, the CpG island which have high correlation with bladder cancer are cg03146993, cg07323648, cg12840719, cg14676825 and classification accuracy is about 76%. Also we found out that positive predictive value, the probability which predicts cancer in case of cancer was 72.4%. Through the verification of candidate CpG island from the result, we can utilize this method for diagnosing and treating cancer.

현재 전 세계적으로 온실가스 농도 증가로 호우나 가뭄, 대설 등 지역에 따라 서로 상반되는 변화를 가져올 수 있다고 경고되고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 남해안지역과 경기북부지역에서 호우빈도가 증가하는 반면, 충정도 내륙지역과 경상북도에서는 호우빈도가 감소하고 5일 누적 강수량 또한 감소하여, 해당지역에서 가뭄이 발생할 경우 심화될 가능성이 높아진다고 보고된 바 있다. 기후변화 시나리오에 분석결과에서도 우리나라의 경우 평균적으로 강우일수는 작아지며, 강우강도는 커지는 결과들이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과들은 가뭄의 발생가능성이 높아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 발생된 가뭄의 특성을 분석하고 가뭄의 특성과 기상인자간의 관계를 Quantile regression 분석을 통해 살펴보고자 한다. 가뭄의 특성과 기상인자(엘니뇨, 강수량 등)의 관계에 있어서 기상인자들의 평균을 이용하는 일반적인 회귀분석은 전체 데이터의 영향에 따른 가뭄특성인자와의 관계를 보여준다. 하지만 강수량과 가뭄과의 관계에서와 같이 강수량의 극값보다는 적은 강수량 혹은 무강우일수가 가뭄과 밀접한 관련을 보여준다. 이러한 점에서 이상치들에 영향을 배재할 수 있는 Quantile regression을 사용하여 Quantile에 따른 기상인자와 가뭄특성과의 관계를 규명하고 평가해 보고자 한다. 본 연구에서 적용한 Quantile Regression 기법은 회귀계수의 추정에 있어서 회귀인자의 신뢰성을 아래와 같은 Quantile-회귀계수 그래프를 통해 분석할 수 있으며, 로버스트 통계량의 특징인 분산이 적은 안정적인 추정량을 확보할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 아래식은 Quantile regression의 회귀계수 추정식을 나타낸다. $$arg\;in\;{n\\\;p(y_i-f(x_i,\;z_i,\;{\cdots}))\\ =1}$$ 여기서, $y_i$는 가뭄특성값을 $x_i$, $z_i$, $\cdots$는 기상인자를 나타낸다. $$p(y-q)={{\beta}(y-q)\;y{\geq_-}q \\ (1-{\beta})(q-y)\;y<q}$$ ${\beta}$는 quantile을 나타내며 0< ${\beta}$ <1범위를 갖는다.

Biographical information about people is usually collected and provided by a company or an institute which has a specific standard to select people for service. Recently, user oriented contents service like Wikipedia has started biographical information service, Wikipedia Biography Portal, in which users select people and freely describe about them. This study collected 500 biographical data from three categories of Wikipedia biography portal such as criminals, faculty, and directors. The contents of data from each category were analyzed with the word frequency and the divergence indicator to identify the characteristics of each category. As a result, divergency indicator is effective to represent the differential factors of each category. This study provides word clouds of top 100 word with divergence indicator and top 100 common words of three categories with word frequency as a guide for users to write about a person in these categories and for editors to accept and monitor the biography from users.

In this study, we proposed an indentation evaluation method for fracture toughness using cohesive finite element simulations. First, we examined the effect of material properties (yield strain, Poisson's ratio, and elastic modulus) on crack size during Vickers indentation and then generated a regression formula that explains the relations among fracture toughness, indentation load, and crack size. We also proposed another indentation formula for fracture toughness evaluation using the contact size a and E/H (H: hardness). Finally, we examined the relation between the crack size and the indenter shapes. Based on this, we can generate from the formula obtained using the Vickers indenter a formula for an indenter of different shapes. Using the proposed method, fracture toughness is directly estimated from indentation data.

In this study, the characteristics and mechanism of microwave-assisted drying were investigated to improve the efficiency of the storage and extraction of biomass through the removal of moisture from plant cell Taxus chinensis. The efficiency of microwave-assisted drying increased with increasing microwave power. When the experimental data were fitted to typical drying kinetic models, the page and modified Page models were the most appropriate. The microwave-assisted drying was determined to be a spontaneous endothermic process, and randomness increased during the drying process. The effective diffusion coefficient (3.445 × 10^-9~7.163 × 10^-7 ㎡/s) and mass transfer coefficient (3.1529 × 10^-5~1.2895 × 10^-2 m/s) increased with increasing microwave power. The small Biot number (0.3890~0.7198) indicated that the mass transfer process was externally controlled.

Usability has become an important consideration for product development, and as a result, there is a growing need for systems and tools that can support usability test projects. However, few studies so far have developed such systems and tools. During a usability test project, many participants take up different roles, such as project managers, usability testers, and subjects. We implement a web-based usability test system with which a project manager can manage and control all participants and documents throughout the entire usability test process, from the design of a usability test project to the analysis of the test results. A usability test generates many documents, such as subject agreement forms and before/after questionnaires. Since many different subjects can participate in a usability test, consistency during testing with different participants and efficient document management are the keys to success for a usability test. Since all users that participate in usability test projects can access web-based usability test systems through a web browser, regardless of the place where they are, the reliability of the testing results can improve since the tests are conducted in the locations where the target products are meant to be used. In particular, our system is useful for disabled individuals who cannot move.

This study was prepared for the purpose of suggesting the reasonable method of library management by reflecting it to the library acquisition and collection development through the user survey and analysis of an academic library. The 97,164 circulation records of C-academic library which were occurred between March 2006 and February 2007 were used, and sixteen subjects by five user groups ((1)undergraduate, (2)graduate students, (3)faculties(professors), (4)staffs, and (5)the other users) were surveyed for the study. The subject and the number of publication lapse year were categorized in this study. The non-parametric method and correlation coefficient were used for the analysis of subject part after the use factor and the number of publication lapse year were crossed by their status. Also, the same methods by use factor were used for the analysis of the number of year part.

무분별한 개발사업으로 인하여 발생되는 토양 침식 피해를 최소화시키기 위해서는 정확한 토양 침식량을 추정해야 한다. 현재 토양 침식량을 추정하기 위한 공식으로 Wischmeier와 Smith(1997)가 발표한 범양 토양손실공식(RUSLE, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)을 주로 사용하고 있다. RUSLE 공식의 매개변수 중 하나인 강우침식능 인자 R은 실무에서는 단일강우 확률강우량의 시간분포 강우량에 대하여 강우침식능을 산정하는 방법을 널리 사용하고 있으나, 연평균 강우침식능을 사용하는 경우도 많다. 국립방재연구소(2009)는 전국 53개소의 1960년대~2008년까지의 1시간 강우자료를 이용하여 연평균 강우침식능을 산정한 바 있고, 본 연구에서는 국립방재연구소의 자료(2009)에 23개소를 추가 하고 2009년~2010년 강우자료를 추가하여 강우침식능을 산정하였다. 강우침식능 산정 시 사용되는 강우 운동에너지 공식은 국내외에서 여러 가지 공식이 제안되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 RUSLE와 USLE에서 추천하고 있는 식과 노재경 등(1984)의 식, van Dijk(2002) 식을 이용하여 각각의 연평균 강우침식능을 산정하고 전국 연평균 강우침식도를 재산정하였다. 연평균 R값의 76개 지점평균은 RUSLE 식 4890, USLE 식 5538, 노재경 식 4608, van Dijk 식 5444 MJ/ha mm/hr로 산정되었다. 에너지식에 따라 값은 최대 930 MJ/ha mm/hr 차이를 보였으나, 분포 양상은 경북 지역을 제외한 모든 유역에서 비슷함을 알 수 있었다. 노재경 식은 서울과 수원의 관측자료를 이용하여 제안된 식으로 타 식에 비하여 우리나라의 강우특성을 비교적 잘 고려한다고 판단되지만, 시간 및 공간적으로 제한된 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 식이므로 실무 적용을 위해서는 추가적인 검정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

With high temporal resolution, four times receiving during a day, MODIS images from Terra and Aqua satellites provide several advantages for monitoring spacious land. Especially, diverse MODIS products related to land, atmosphere, and ocean have been provided with radiance MODIS images. The products such as surface reflectance, NDVI, cloud mask, aerosol etc. are based on theoretical algorithms developed in academic areas. Comparing with other change detection studies mainly using the vegetation index, this study investigated temporal surface reflectance of landcovers for five years from 2004 to 2008. The near infrared (NIR) reflectance in urbanized and burned areas showed considerable difference before and after events. The specific characteristics of surface reflectance temporal profiles are possibly useful for the detection of landcover changes and classification.
