Image fusion is the process of combining multiple images of the same scene into a single fused image with application to many fields, such as remote sensing, computer vision, robotics, medical imaging and military affairs. The widely used image fusion rules that use wavelet transform have been based on a simple comparison with the activity measures of local windows such as mean and standard deviation. In this case, information features from the original images are excluded in the fusion image and distorted fusion images are obtained for noisy images. In this paper, we propose the use of a nonparametric squared ranks test on the quality of variance for two samples in order to overcome the influence of the noise and guarantee the homogeneity of the fused image. We evaluate the method both quantitatively and qualitatively for image fusion as well as compare it to some existing fusion methods. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is effective and provides satisfactory fusion results.

Cellulose acetate (CA) has been widely utilized for composite materials due to its high transparency and thermal resistance. In this study, CNCs (cellulose nanocrystals) were reinforced in CA nanocomposites for fortifying mechanical properties of the composites. In addition, CA nanocomposites reinforced with CNCs were manufactured by extrusion/injection processes applied with CNC-predispersion method for achieving a high dispersion level of CNCs in the CA matrix. According to the analysis of mechanical properties, the CA nanocomposite with 3 wt% CNCs has the highest tensile and flexural strengths due to the reinforcing effect of CNC nanoparticles. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the addition of acid hydrolyzed CNCs slightly lowered the initial pyrolysis temperature of CA nanocomposite.

Monodisperse, spherical $SiO_2/TiO_2$ composite fine powders were prepared by modified Sol-Gel process which $TiO_2$ fine Powders was used as a seed particles for condensation of TEOS (Tetraethyl Orthosilicate). The reaction was carried out under $N_2$ atmosphere at ambient temperature using $NH_3$ as a catalyst. Ethanol was used as a solvent. Drying process was carried out with vacuum trap which cooled by liquid $N_2$. The reaction variables were the concentration of TEOS, the concentration of ammonia, the size of $TiO_2$ seed and molar ratio of $SiO_2/TiO_2$. The optimum condition for the preparation of $SiO_2/TiO_2$ composite fine powders without agglomeration was [TEOS]=0.3M, [$NH_3$]=0.7M, size of $SiO_2/TiO_2$ seed = 200~300nm.

Modified polyethylenes with polar side groups of -COOK, $-CONH_2$, and -COOH were prepared at a dispersion state in water by reacting poly(ethylene-co-methylacrylate) (PEMA) with aqueous solution of KOH and ammonia. Types and their contents of side groups were investigated by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and atomic absorption analysis. Solution viscosity and surface tension were also measured as a function of solid contents. Stability and transparency of the dispersions were greatly affected by the content of COOK in the side groups. The stable dispersion could be prepared at a composition of COOK of 20 mole% at least. The transparency was increased with increasing the COOK contents, but decreased with increasing the amide content at a constant composition of COOK. Solution viscosities increased abruptly at a lower solid content when the COOK contents were increased, implying higher entanglement between the chains in dispersions with higher content of hydrophilic COOK group. The dispersions of higher COOK content revealed lower surface tension values.

The thermal properties, morphology, mechanical properties and gas permeability of the blends of poly (amic acid) (PAA) and poly (o-hydroxyamides) (PHAs) having pendant group was investigated. The 5% weight loss and major weight loss of the b)ends occurred in the ranges of $348{\sim}407^{\circ}C$ and $589{\sim}615^{\circ}C$ upon a heating process. After a thermical annealing, the tensile strength and initial modulus of blends increased $3.7{\sim}52.9%$ and $34.4{\sim}70%$ from the value of pure PAA, respectively. Especially the tensile strength and modulus of the PAA/MP-PHA=9/1 showed the highest values (97.5 MPa and 2.67 GPa, respectively), which were 53 and 70% higher than those of pure PAA. The fine PHA domains were found to be uniformly dispersed. The interfacial adhesion between PAA and PHA was identified to be good. The gas permeabilities of PAA/M-PHA blend increased with M-PHA contents.

압출조리 공법에 의한 한국형 쌀 이유식 제조에서 아밀라제 첨가가 압출미분의 물성 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 압출조리기의 스크류 회전수는 200rpm, 원료의 사입속도는 180g/min로 고정하여 작동하였다. 원료 쌀가루의 수분함량은 18, 23, 28%로 가수하였고 첨가된 아밀라제는 Bacillus licheniformis로부터 분리한 Termamyl 120LS(NOVO사), Bacillus amylolichuefaciens로부터 분리한 BAN 240L(NOVO사) 및 맥아분말이다. 아밀라제 첨가에 의해 압출미분의 수용성지수는 3배까지 증가했고, 환원당 생성량은 원료의 수분함량에 크게 영향을 받아 28% 수분함량에서 급격히 증가하여 수용성지수와는 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 겔 투과크로마토그래피에 의한 분자량적 구조 변화 측정 결과 아밀라제 첨가에 의해 고분자 획분이 상당히 감소했으며 상대적으로 저분자 획분이 증감함을 알 수 있었다. 아밀라제의 잔존환성은 아밀라제 종류에 따라 다르며 가장 내열성인 Termamyl 120LS의 경우 용융부위 온도 14$0^{\circ}C$에서 27%까지 감소하였다. 침전법에 의한 분산특성은 아밀라제 작용에 의해 수용성 물질이 증가함에 따라 침전층의 감소를 나타내었으나 처리온도가 14$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하면 침전층의 높이는 증가하였다. 겉보기 점도는 아밀라제 첨가에 의해 무처리 압출미분의 1/4~1/200로 감소하였다. 시판 이유식의 권장농도에서의 점도와 같은 점도 수준에 도달하기 위해서는 원료의 수분함량(18, 23, 28%), 아밀라제 종류 및 첨가량, 계량부위 온도에 따른 각 작동조건의 압출미분을 최고 1.8배의 양을 사용할 수 있었다. 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 원료 쌀가루에 첨가된 아밀라제가 압출조리기내를 통과하면서 쌀가루의 가수분해를 일으켜 환원당 등 수용성 물질이 증가하고 분산특성이 좋아지며 점도가 낮아지고 결국 이유식의 열량밀도를 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this work, the effect of hydrophobic treated silica on the water absorption, thermal stabilities, and mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposites were investigated as a function of the silica content. As filler, fumed silica treated by dimethyldichlorosilane was used. It was found that the silica was well dispersed in the epoxy resins by the melt-mixing method with the addition of a silane coupling agent. The water absorption of the nanocomposites decreased with an increase of the silica content due to the effect of hydrophobic treated silica. The thermal properties, such as thermal degradation temperature, glass transition temperature ($T_g$), and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), of the nanocomposites were improved by the addition of silica. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, that is, the tensile strength and modulus, were enhanced with increasing silica content. This was attributed to the physically strong interaction between silica and epoxy resins.

산업의 고도화가 진행됨에 따라 화학원료의 사용이 증가하고 있고 독성을 가진 화학물질이 하천으로 유입되는 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 수환경으로 유입되는 유해화학물질은 주로 무색무취의 물질들로 사고가 발생하더라도 초기 발견이 어려워 어류폐사를 유발하거나 취수시설에서 용수로 취수되는 경우가 발생하기 때문에 이에 대한 대응책 마련이 필수적이다. 하천에 유입된 오염물질의 거동을 신속하게 예측하기 위해 1차원 오염물질 추적 모형이 활용되는데, Fickian 이송-분산 모형(Fickian Advection-dispersion equation model; FADE)이 주로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 FADE는 오염물질이 하천 저장대에서 지체되는 현상을 반영하지 못하기 때문에 농도곡선의 왜곡도를 구현하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천저장대모형(River Storage Model; RSM)을 개발하고 이를 국가하천인 감천에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 RSM은 분산계수, 본류대 면적, 저장대 면적, 저장대 교환계수의 네 가지 매개변수를 통해서 하천의 물질 저장 및 교환 특성를 구현한 non-Fickian 모형으로서, 생화학반응, 휘발, 흡·탈착항을 추가하여 유해화학물질의 혼합 거동을 정확하게 모의할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 저장대 모형의 매개변수를 산정하기 위해서 하천 유량과 지형자료를 기반으로 HEC-RAS를 모의하여 계산된 수리특성을 입력변수로 사용하였다. 저수기, 평수기, 풍수기 유량을 기준으로 세 경우의 시나리오 모의를 수행하였는데, 5ton의 톨루엔이 김천산업단지에서 감천으로 유입된 경우 약 20km 하류에 위치한 취수장에서 톨루엔의 농도변화를 예측했다. 보존성 물질에 대한 모의 결과, 풍수기의 경우 저수기에 비해 유속이 크기 때문에 취수장에서 20.56시간 먼저 기준농도에 도달하고, 7.21시간 더 짧게 머무는 것으로 나타났다. 유해화학물질의 반응특성에 대한 민감도 분석을 시행한 결과, 생화학적 반감기가 18.98시간보다 길고, 옥탄올-물 분배계수가 2.267 이하인 물질은 생분해 및 흡·탈착 반응에 둔감한 것으로 나타났다. 1m 수심 기준 0.114m/s 이하 유속에서의 하천 수리조건에서는 화학물질의 휘발성을 무시할 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This paper examines the dynamic relationship between fund flow and market risk at the aggregate level and explores whether sudden sharp changes in fund flow (fund run) can cause a systemic risk in the Korean financial markets. We use daily and weekly data and regression and VAR analysis. Main results of the paper are as follows: First, in the stock market, a concurrent and a lagged unexpected fund flows have a positive relationship with market volatility. A positive shock in fund flow predicts an increase in stock market volatility. In the bond market, an unexpected fund flow has a negative relationship with the default risk premium, but a positive relationship with the term premium. And an unexpected fund flow of the money market fund has a negative relationship with the liquidy risk, but the explanatory power is very low. Second, for examining whether changes in fund flow induce a systemic risk, we construct a spillover index based on the forecast error variance decomposition of VAR model. A spillover index represents that how much the shock in fund flow can explain the change of market risk in a market. In general, explanatory powers from spillover indexes are so fluctuant and low. In the stock market, the impact of shocks in fund flow on market risk is relatively high and persistent during the period from the end of 2007 to 2008, which is the subprime-mortgage crisis period. In bond market, since the end of 2008, the impact of shocks in fund flow spreads to default risk continually, while in the money market, such a systematic effect doesn't take place. The persistent patterns of spillover effect appearing around a certain period in the stock market and the bond market suggest that the shock to the unexpected fund flow may increase the market risk and can be a cause of systemic risk in the financial markets. However, summarizing the results of regression and VAR model analysis, and considering the very low explanatory power of spillover index analysis, we can conclude that changes in fund flow have a very limited power in explaining changes in market risk and it is not very likely to induce the systemic risk by a fund run in the Korean financial markets.
