본 논문은 Catmull-Clark 서브디비전 서피스(subdivision surfaces)를 포워드 디퍼렌싱(forward differencing)을 이용하여 효율적으로 evaluation 해서 렌더링하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 포워드 디퍼렌싱은 순수한 다항식만을 evaluation 할 수 있다. 그러나 Catmull-Clark 서브디비전 서피스는 순수한 다항식이 아니다. 그러므로, Catmull-Clark 서피스를 정규 패치들(regular patches)로 분리하고, 그 패치들에 대한 다항식을 만들고, 포워드 디퍼렌싱을 사용해서 evaluation 하면 된다. 본 알고리즘의 장점은 전통적인 리커시브(recursive) 서브디비전 기법에 비해 메모리의 요구가 적다. 즉, [1]과 마찬가지로 서브디비전 깊이(subdivision depth)에 독립적으로 항상 상수(constant) 메모리 양 만큼만 요구된다.

Graphene was coated on austenitic and martensitic stainless steels to simulate the metallic bipolar plate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized and was reduced to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via a hydrazine process. rGO was confirmed by FE-SEM, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the bipolar plate and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) was measured to confirm the electrical conductivity. Both ICR and corrosion current density decreased on graphene coated stainless steels. Corrosion resistance was also improved with immersion time in cathodic environments and satisfied the criteria of the Department of Energy (DOE), USA. The total concentrations of metal ions dissolved from graphene coated stainless steels were reduced. Furthermore hydrophobicity was improved by increasing the contact angle.

얼굴 인증에서 가장 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 주성분 분석(PCA . Principal Component Analysis)은 정면 얼굴과 같은 특징 패턴에 대해서 비교적 높은 성능을 보인다. 인식률을 떨어뜨리지 않으면서 데이터량을 줄일 수 있는 효과가 있어 클래스를 잘 축약하여 표현하기에 유용하다. 하지만 조명이나 표정의 변화에 대해서는 성능을 보장할 수 없다 이를 보완하기 위해 성분이 다른 클래스간의 분리가 수월하도록 선형판별분석(LDA Linear Discriminant Analysis)을 사용한다 LDA는 데이터의 양이 적을 때는 성능이 떨어지는 단점이 있다 그래서 PCA와 LDA를 융합한 기술을 사용하면 더 나은 성능을 얻을 수 있는데 Min, Max, Mean, Append, Majority voting방법 등이 이에 해당된다. 하지만 기존 연구에서는 제한적 데이터베이스에 대한 실험에 그쳐 실험 결과의 객관성이 부족했다. 본 논문에서는 정형화된 환경에서 여러 가지 데이터베이스를 사용해 실험함으로써 Min, Max, Mean 융합 알고리즘의 성능을 비교 분석한다. 융합 알고리즘이 언제나 좋은 성능을 내는 것은 아니지만 얼굴영상에서 조명이나 표정 등이 변화함에 상관없이 일정 수준의 인증율을 보장하고 있다.

Background : Chlamydia pneumoniae is one of common causes in upper and lower respiratory infections. Isolating C. pneumoniae from clinical specimens is very difficult due to the characteristics of the organism. Recently, we succeeded in isolating C. pneumoniae from a Korean patient, who suffered from acute pharyngitis. This is the first isolate from a clinical specimen in Korea. Methods : We attained a nasopharyngeal swab from a 22-year-old female patient, and inoculated it on a monolayer of the Hep-2 cell line. After 8 passages, we found the inclusion bodies of C. pneumoniae by an immunofluorescence(IF) test. The species-specific monoclonal antibody IF staining and species-specific PCR were done to confirm the species of the isolate, and electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology. Results : The isolated was confirmed to be C. pneumoniae by species-specific IF and PCR, and the strain was named LKK-1. The shape of the elementary body was round and with a narrow periplasmic space, as shown by electron microscopy, which is similar to the Japanese strain, but not the Western strain. Conclusion : We succeeded in isolating C. pneumoniae from a 22-year-old patient with acute pharyngitis, which is the first isolate in Korea. In the future, this Korean strain will be useful to the study of C. pneumoniae.

Altitudinal changes in the vegetation of Sunginbong(984m) in UIlungdo (Island) were investigated by sample plots(forty l00$\m^2$) along elevation and analyzed by TWINSPAN and DCA techniques. In the results from the analysis of both techniques, altitudinal zonations were divided into 3 groups such as lower 300m area, 400~700m area, and above 800m area. DCA and similarity index analyses of elevational ranges showed discontinuities between lower and middle elevation areas. But there was a vegetation continuum between middle and high elevation areas. In the analysis of species diversity, there was no significant difference due to altitude except for maximum species diversity which was decreased with altitude. The mean tree density of canopy and understory layers in the middle elevation area showed the highest value, and the highest basal area was recorded at the lower elevation area.

Alkali rhyolites in the Cheonmunbong of the Mt. Baekdu stratovolcano show porphyritic texture in the glassy or aphanic groundmass. Major phenocryst is alkali-feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole, and small amount of microphenocryst is olivine, quartz, opaque mineral (ilmenite). The content of $Fe^{2+}/(Fe^{2+}+Mg^{2+})$ and alkali elements in the mafic minerals is high. Alkali feldspar is classified as sanidine or anorthclase, olivine as fayalite, and pyroxene as ferro-hedenbergite of ferro-augite area. Amphibole belongs to alkali amphibole group, but FeO and $Fe_2O_3$ were not separated, so it is required future studies. Nb(-) anomaly suggesting that slab-derived materials might have played a primary role in the genesis of the rhyolite magma, is not observed. It is noted that they originated in the within plate environment which is not related to subduction zone of the convergent plate boundary. The Mt. Baekdu alkaline rocks are classified into the comendite series. The alkali rhyolites of the summit at Mt. Baekdu shows the disequilibrium mineral assemblages, suggesting that it evolved from thrachytic magma with experience of magma mixing as well as fractional crystallization.

In a PWR rod cluster control assembly(RCCA) for shutdown is released upon action of control rod drive mechanism and falls down through the guide thimble by its weight. Drop time and impact velocity of the RCCA are two key parameters with respect to reactivity insertion time and the mechanical integrity of fuel assembly. Therefore, the precise control of drop time and impact velocity is prerequisite to modifying the existing design features of the RCCA and guide thimble or newly designing them. During its falling down into the core, the RCCA is retarded by various forces acting on it such as fluid resistance caused by the RCCA movement, buoyance and mechanical friction caused by contacting inner surface of the guide thimble, etc. However, complicated coupling of the various forces makes it difficult to derive an analytical dynamic equation for the drop time and impact velocity. This paper deals with the development of a computer program containing an analytical dynamic equation applicable to the Korean Fuel Assembly(KOFA). The computer program is benchmarked with an available single control rod drop tests. Since the predicted values are in good agreement with the test results, the computer program developed in this paper can be employed to modify the exiting design features of the RCCA and guide thimble and to develope their new design features for advanced nuclear reactors.

For the survey of viruses infected in peanut cultivated in Korea, peanut seeds and leaves showing viral symptoms were collected from their growing areas. Typical symptoms on virus infected peanut leaves including mosaic, mottle with necrosis, yellowing, stripe or vein banding and stunts were observed. Two viruses isolated from the naturally infected peanuts were identified as Bean common mosaic virus(BCMV-PSt) and Peanut mottle virus(PeMoV) by their host range, immunosorbent elcetron microscopy(ISEM), direct immuno staining assay(DISA), RT-PCR, and intracellural symptoms. Direct negative staining method by electron microscope showed filamentous particles of about 780 m in length as well as inclusion bodies. In ultrathin sections of BCMV-PSt and PeMoV infected tissues, cytoplasmic cylindrical inclusions as well as filamentous virus particles were observed in the cytoplasm of parenchyma cells. ISEM revealed filamentous particles strongly decorated with antiserums of BCMV-PSt and PeMoV Peanut seeds were stained with BCMV-PSt and PeMoV antisera indicating the possibility of seed transmission far these viruses. Seedlings germinated from peanut seeds which reacted with antiserums of BCMV-PSt by DISA showed mild mottle or stripe symptoms while mosaic and necrotic mottle symptoms were observed for PeMoV-positive seedlings. Filamentous particles were strongly decorated with each antiserum under ISEM observation. BCMV-PSt coat protein gene of about 1.2 Kbp was amplified by RT-PCR. Altogether these results indicate that BCMV-PSt is the most prevalent virus infecting peanut in Korea.
