A novel circuit structure of dual-band bandstop filters is proposed in this paper. This structure comprises two shunt-connected tri-section stepped impedance resonators with a transmission line in between. Theoretical analysis from the equivalent circuit and design procedures are described. We represented graphs for filter design from the derived synthesis equations by resonance condition of circuits. Notably, advantages of the proposed filter structure are compact size in design, wide range of realizable resonance frequency ratio, and more realizable impedances.

환경문제에 대한 관심으로 자동차에 대한 경량화가 요구되는 동시에 안전규제가 강화 되고 있어, 높은 인장강도를 가지는 고강도 강의 차체 적용 비율이 점차 증가하고 있다. 또한, 자동차 1대를 조립하기 위한 저항 점용접 횟수를 줄이고, 용접부에 충격안정성을 확보하기 위한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 따라서, 국내 자동차 산업에서 용접부의 신뢰성을 보장하기 다양한 비파괴 검사를 적용하고 있으며, 생산 공정에 적용하고 있다. 그중에서 용접 전극 사이에서 동저항(Dynamic resistance, 용접 공정중모재의 저항값의 변화)을 계측하여 용접성을 평가하는 방법이 제시되고, 차체 조립공정 중에 적용하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 차체용 냉간 압연강판(590MPa dual-phase steel)을 인버터 DC 저항 점 용접하여, 용접전극 사이에서 동저항을 측정 하였다. 용접성은 인장전단 강도로 평가하였고, 용접 공정 변수는 용접 전류, 용접 시간, 가압력을 선정하였다. 동저항 그래프의 ${\alpha}$-peak와 ${\beta}$-peak값을 인장전단 강도에 따라 회귀 분석하여, 동저항에 따른 인장전단 강도를 예측하였다. 추가적으로, 용접부의 외관 형상 중에 압흔 깊이와 압흔자국 지름에 대한 회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 용접부 형상에 대한 신뢰성을 부여하였다.

This paper presents a new method for automatic detection of skew in a document image using mathematical morphology. To speed up processing, we use reduced image but it still requires long time to estimate the skew angle so the proposed method works with region of interest, not with whole image. Character strings are connected by using morphological closing operation and a component labeling is used to select region of interest. The method considers the lowermost pixels of characters in candidate regions in the binary image of original document image. Experimental results shows that the proposed method is extremely fast and robust as well as independent of script forms.

This study analyzed a variety of different kinds of usage patterns of four-digit personal identification numbers(PINs) based on the data collected from students attending at A-university in 2011. According to the analysis, the 4 digit PINs '1234' was being used most frequently which is similar to the findings of the study by the Daniel Amitay research. In addition, almost 50 percent of the students were using the four-digit PINs closely related to their personal information, and more than 10 percent of them were using it only by the reason of easiness to remember or convenience to use. Number '0' was the most frequently used, and girl students used it more than boys did. According to the result of analysis of four-digit PINs, it was found that number '1' was the most frequently used in the first and the third position. It was also found that number '2' and number '4' were the most frequently used in the second and the forth position respectively. Among students who had used number 3 in third position, around 63.6 percent of those students were using number 4 in the forth position in their PINs which showed highest frequency from analysis of double-digits connected together in each position. The analysis of PINs were represented by the polygonal (type) graph with that X-axis showed from first to forth position and Y-axis showed number had been used at each position. Among many polygonal graphs, the form showed an N-type which was called in type 1 took the first place by 35 percent.

Direct parameter estimation method is verified with various models based on Neyman-Scott rectangular pulse model (NSRPM). Also, newly modified NSRPM (NMSRPM) that uses normal distribution is developed. Precipitation data observed by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for 47 years is applied for parameter estimation. For model performance verification, we used statistics, wet ratio and precipitation accumulate distribution of precipitation generated. The comparison of statistics indicates that absolute relative error (ARE)s of the results from NSRPM and modified NSRPM (MNSRPM) are increasing on July, August, and September and ARE of NMNSRPM shows 10.11% that is the smallest ARE among the three models. NMNSRPM simulates the characteristics of precipitation statistics well. By comparing the wet ratio, MNSRPM shows the smallest ARE that is 16.35% and by using the graphical analysis, we found that these three models underestimate the wet ratio. The three models show about 2% of ARE of precipitation accumulate probability. Those results show that the three models simulate precipitation accumulate probability well. As the results, it is found that the parameters of NSRPM, MNSRPM and NMNSRPM are able to be estimated by the direct parameter estimation method. From the results listed above, we concluded that the direct parameter estimation is able to be applied to various models based on NSRPM. NMNSRPM shows good performance compared with developed model-NSRPM and MNSRPM and the models based on NSRPM can be developed by the direct parameter estimation method.

The inhibition of cholesterol autoxidation by commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol (0, 50, 100, and 300 ppm) was studied in an aqueous model system for 20 h at pH 5.5 and $80^{\circ}C$. The inhibition effectiveness of the commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was followed by the retention of cholesterol and the formation of C-7 oxidized cholesterol derivatives (OCDs). Changes in the amount of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol in the aqueous system were determined during cholesterol autoxidation. A method to detect the levels of 7-ketocholesterol, $7{\alpha}$-hydroxycholesterol and $7{\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol in an aqueous model system with ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was developed by using the hexane-ethyl acetate extraction system and high-performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that the levels of C-7 OCDs in an aqueous dispersion containing 300 ppm of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol were not significantly (p>0.05) increased, when compared to other treatments (0, 50, and 100 ppm), during the accelerated cholesterol oxidation.

Phosphorus accumulation in fertilized soils becomes serious problem for agriculture and the environment. In this investigation, we conducted a laboratory scale investigation to find the most desirable displacement methods of the adsorbed phosphate onto the soil particle surfaces. Soil samples which contained high amount of phosphate were collected at two different depths (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm) from four locations at the moderate highland located in Nonsan, Chungnam. To observe the mobilization of solid-phase phosphate, soil samples were equilibrated with oxalic acid solutions ranging from $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-1}cmol\;L^{-1}$ with the dilution factors of 1:1, 1:2.5, 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20. The mineralized P sharply increased as the concentration of oxalic acid was greater than $5{\times}10^{-4}cmol\;L^{-1}$ under dilution factors of 1:1, 1:2.5, and 1:5. The breaking concentration of oxalic acid was lowered to $10^{-4}cmol\;L^{-1}$ and $5{\times}10^{-5}cmol\;L^{-1}$ for dilution factors of 1:10 and 1:20, respectively. The curve fit obtained from the graph can be described by exponential growth when the dilution factors were 1:1, 1:2.5, and 1:5 while the sigmoidal shape for 1:10 and 1:20, showing the mineralization of P were significantly dependent on the dilution factor.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the external systems and the units 'problem solving and invention' of the middle school technology and home economics 1 textbooks of the revised 2011 national curriculum in an effort to provide some information on the content system of invention education in technology class, as invention education was provided as part of a regular subject for the first time. The findings of the study were as follows: First, 'Technology and Inventions' chapter of Technology and Home Economics 1 Textbooks occupied 10-18% share, with the subchapter of 'Problem Solving and Invention' unit taking up 6.7-29% of the textbooks. Second, for most textbooks, 'Technological Problem Solving', 'Idea Generation' 'Multi-dimensional Projection Method', 'Expansive Thought-Processing Methodology', 'Converging Thought Methodology' and 'Invention in Everyday Lives' were included as main contents based on the accomplishment criteria presented in education process interpretation documents. Third, the detailed structures were generally made up as follows: Introduction (Broad Chapter Title, Subchapter Table of Contents, Introduction, Subchapter Title, Study Objectives, Open Thinking); Development (Unit Title, Thinking Ahead, Core Terms, Main Text, Study Helper, Activities, Research Exercises, Supplemental Readings, In-depth Study Topics, Technology in Everyday Lives, Reading Topics, Discussion Topics, and Career Helpers); and Summary (Subchapter Summary, Study Summary, Terms Summary, Writing Follow-up, Self Review, Broad Chapter Evaluation). Fourth, based on the analysis of figures included, photographs had the largest share, followed by figures, tables, and graphs. The photos were used to illustrate various inventions, invention methodologies, and exercise activities, while figures were included to depict the contents included in the main text, and the tables to assist to preparation of process diagrams or materials lists. Fifth, based on the analysis of content weights, greater weights were placed on 'Inventions and Thoughts', and 'Invention Experiment Activities,' while 'Understanding Inventions' and 'Invention and Patents' chapters did not have a lot of texts involved. Sixth, based on the analysis of content presentation methods, most textbooks combined figures, tables, illustrations and texts to discuss the topics. Based on the above study results, we suggest the following: First, a consistent education curriculum should be developed over the topic of invention; and second, more precise and systematic analysis of textbooks would need to be performed.

The segmentation of cartilage is crucial for the diagnose and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and has mostly been done manually by an expert, requiring a considerable amount of time and effort due to the thin shape and vague boundaries of the cartilage in MR (magnetic resonance) images. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic method to segment cartilage in a knee joint on MR images. The proposed method is based on a small number of manually segmented images as the training set and comprised of an initial per patch segmentation process and a global refinement process on the cumulative per patch results. Each patch for per patch segmentation is positioned by classifying the bone-cartilage interface on the pre-segmented bone surface. Next, the shape and intensity priors are constructed for each patch based on information extracted from reference patches in the training set. The ratio of influence between the shape and intensity priors is adaptively determined per patch. Each patch is segmented by graph cuts, where energy is defined based on constructed priors. Finally, global refinement is conducted on the global cartilage using the results of per patch segmentation as the shape prior. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed framework provide accurate and clinically useful segmentation results.

K-WEAP(Korea-Water Evaluation And Planning System)은 유역의 물이용 순환체계를 컴퓨터 프로그램으로 구현하고, 수량, 수질, 환경, 수요관리 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 통합수자원계획 수립을 지원하는 전문 모형으로서, 과학기술부와 건설교통부가 공동으로 지원하는 21세기 프론티어 사업인 수자원의 지속적 확보기술사업단의 연구비 지원에 의하여 SEI-B(Stockholm Environment Institute-Boston Center)와 한국건설기술연구원이 공동으로 개발한 모형이다. K-WEAP의 대부분 기능은 기존의 SEI-B가 개발한 WEAP(Water Evaluation And Planning System)에 기반을 두고 있지만, 월 단위 물수지 분석뿐만 아니라 5일 및 임의 시간 단위 물수지분석이 가능하고 물공급 안전도평가와 하천수질모의가 가능하다는 점에서 기존의 WEAP과는 다르며 메뉴와 도움말이 모두 한글로 작성되어있어 국내 사용자들이 이용하기 용이하다. K-WEAP의 기능은 단계적으로 보완 및 개선이 이루어지고 있으며, 현재는 1단계 개발이 끝난 후 2단계 기능개선 작업을 수행하고 있다. 2단계에서 개선하게 될 주요부분은 물수지모형의 개선과 하천수질모형의 개선, 편익산정모형의 개발, 의사결정지원 기능을 고려하는 사용자인터페이스 개선 등이 포함되어 있으며, 2단계 1차 년도에서는 물수지모형과 하천수질모형의 부분적인 개선과 함께 의사결정지원 기능을 고려하는 사용자 인터페이스의 부분적인 개선을 시도하였다. 물수지모형의 개선에서는 하수처리장의 회귀수를 수요처에서 직접 이용할 수 있도록 하였으며, 하천수질모형의 개선부분에서는 기온과 풍속 등의 기후자료를 이용한 수온 모의모형을 개발하였다. 또한, 사용자 인터페이스 부분에서는 사용자의 의사결정을 지원하기 위해 하천유량과 수질 등에 대한 초과비율그래프 조회 기능과 결과를 지도상에서 확인할 수 있는 지도보기기능, 사용자가 필요한 자료를 요약하여 조회할 수 있는 사용자 정의보고서 작성기능을 추가하였다. 개선된 기능을 통해 사용자는 보다 편리한 환경에서 모형을 구동하고 구동결과를 평가 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
