  • Congestion on expressways is increasing in spite of continuous road construction. In enlargement of expressway capacity to lessen congestion, a long period is needed and in the case of traffic congestion, it would be impossible to avoid long periods of traffic congestion. So, it is necessary to cope with traffic congestion through continuous traffic condition monitoring, analysis of the causes of congestion and the development of alternatives before traffic conditions worsen. A congestion index that can express traffic operating conditions measurably is needed to monitor those conditions. Thus, in this research, a new congestion index, the Traffic Condition Index (TCI), is developed. TCI is able to evaluate roads that have different grades (or design speeds) and to judge traffic condition as good, fair and poor (congested). In addition, TCI has merits in that it can strengthen the function of existing Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS) and can be applied to congestion management easily: TCI calculates congestion intensity and severity using data obtained from existing FTMS. In order to validate TCI, it was applied to the Kyungbu Expressway and the Seohaean Expressway. As a result, TCI shows a good performance in the aspect of applicability and ability of presentation of traffic conditions compared with travel speed and Travel Time Index (TTI).

  • This study was conducted to examine the relations of oral health relevance to disabilities according to the relationship types between them and their guardian. The guardians were surveyed using self-writing questionnaires regarding the cohesion and communication process, and the oral health of disabled was analyzed by evaluation table. Total 78 copies were analyzed. SPSS win. 24.0 statistical program was used and the significance level was verified at .05. There was significance in the communication process(p<.01) according to the type of relationship with the disabled and their guardians. In oral health of the disabled according to the type of relationship with their guardians, there was significance in DMFT index(p<.01), first molar soundness(p<.01) and Pocket depth(p<.01).Therefore, the mother had a positive effect for the disabled on most items such as cohesion, communication process, and oral health. However, it is expected that policy support and research to increase the interests in oral health care management are needed for personal assistants, who showed a low impact on the cohesion, and communication process with disabled persons, and spouses, who showed a low influence on oral health of persons with disabilities.

  • The variable message sign(VMS) is a representative traffic information service medium which has the largest users and is provided and operated by a governmental agency. In this paper, we focused on psychological responses of individuals who use VMS traffic information in the light of the need for VMS to provide user-oriented service. A total of t재 scenarios were plotted to conduct our experiment on a virtual test track. A stress index analysis on VMS location, the first scenario, showed the lowest stress value at the point of 1.5 kilometers before the exit. A stress index analysis on the contents of VMS information (communication, time, and speed), the second scenario, showed the lowest stress value at time information.

  • The aim of this study was to suggest a convenient method of monitoring the gingival state through plaque detection. Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence-Digital (QLF-D), which can assess mature plaque, can be used to assess the oral hygiene status of individuals and to establish an adequate intervention plans for them. The subjects of the study participated in the clinical training at Department of Dental Hygiene, N University. The subjects completed questionnaires on general characteristics and oral hygiene methods. Then, photographs of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth of the subjects were taken using the QLF-D. After the oral examinations, gingival state was recorded according to the $L{\ddot{o}}e$ & Silness's Gingival Index (GI). In addition, a plaque control record was calculated in percentage using disclosing agent. The analysis of the relation between the plaque control record and the QLF-D scores showed positive correlation (r=0.638, p<0.001), and the analysis of the relation between the QLF-D scores and the gingival bleeding index scores also showed positive correlation (r=0.562, p<0.001). Besides, the study classified the participants into healthy gingiva group and the gingivitis group according to the classification criteria of GI, and when the difference of QLF-D scores between the groups was analyzed, the QLF-D scores were statistically significantly higher (t=-2.785, p=0.007) in the gingivitis group ($1.71{\pm}1.545$) than the healthy gingiva group ($0.74{\pm}1.290$). When the differences in mean values of the QLF-D scores were analyzed against and the gingival bleeding index scores, the QLF-D scores of 0 and 1 belonged to the category of normal gingival state while the QLF-D scores of 2, 3 and 4 belonged to the category of gingivitis state. Therefore, it is deemed that the red fluorescence detected by the QLF-D from the mature supragingival plaque can be used for monitoring the state of gingivitis.

  • 인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI) 기술은 과거 컴퓨터란 어렵고 소수의 숙련자만이 다루는 것이라는 인식을 바꾸어 놓았다. HCI 는 컴퓨터 사용자인 인간에게 거부감 없이 수용되기 위해 인간과 컴퓨터가 조화를 이루는데 많은 성과를 거두어왔다. 컴퓨터 비전에 기반을 두고 인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용을 위하여 사용자 의도 및 행위 인식 연구들이 많이 행해져 왔다. 특히 손을 이용한 제스처는 인간과 인간, 인간과 컴퓨터 그리고 최근에 각광받고 있는 인간과 로봇의 상호작용에 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘은 비전에 기반한 호출자 인식과 손 추적 알고리즘을 병행한 자연스러운 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘이다. 인간과 인간 사이의 상호간의 주의집중 방식인 호출 제스처를 인식하여 기반하여 사용자가 인간과 의사소통 하는 것과 마찬가지로 컴퓨터/로봇의 주의집중을 끌도록 하였다. 또한 호출 제스처에 의해서 추출된 손동작을 추적하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 호출 제스처는 카메라 앞에 존재할 때 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 자신에게 주의를 끌 수 있는 자연스러운 행동이다. 호출 제스처 인식을 통해 복수의 사람이 존재하는 상황 하에서 또한 원거리에서도 사용자는 자신의 의사를 전달하고자 함을 컴퓨터/로봇에게 알릴 수 있다. 호출 제스처를 이용한 손 추출 방식은 자연스러운 손 추출을 할 수 있도록 한다. 현재까지 알려진 손 추출 방식은 피부색을 이용하고 일정 범위 안에 손이 존재한다는 가정하에 이루어져왔다. 이는 사용자가 제스처를 하기 위해서는 특정 자세로 고정되어 있어야 함을 의미한다. 그러나 호출 제스처를 통해 손을 추출하게 될 경우 서거나 앉거나 심지어 누워있는 상태 등 자연스러운 자세에서 손을 추출할 수 있게 되어 사용자의 불편함을 해소 할 수 있다. 손 추적 알고리즘은 자연스러운 상황에서 획득된 손의 위치 정보를 추적하도록 고안되었다. 제안한 알고리즘은 색깔정보와 모션 정보를 융합하여 손의 위치를 검출한다. 손의 피부색 정보는 신경망으로 다양한 피부색 그룹과 피부색이 아닌 그룹을 학습시켜 얻었다. 손의 모션 정보는 연속 영상에서 프레임간에 일정 수준 이상의 차이를 보이는 영역을 추출하였다. 피부색정보와 모션정보로 융합된 영상에서 블랍 분석을 하고 이를 민쉬프트로 추적하여 손을 추적하였다. 제안된 손 추출 및 추적 방법은 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 인간과 마주하듯 컴퓨터/로봇의 서비스를 받을 수 있도록 하는데 주목적을 두고 있다.

  • 해수소통을 전제한 경우 새만금호 내측의 염분변화가 만경강의 평수량 및 홍수량 유입에 따라 혼합확산되는 것을 평가하고 배수갑문 방류시 담수가 외해에 미치는 영향범위를 평가하기 위한 수치모형실험이 실시되었다. 이때 새만금호 내부의 관리수위는 DL=-1.5m, DL=-0.5m, DL=-0.0m, DL=+0.5m가 고려되었다. 외해역의 평가는 새만금을 포함한 전체해역에 대해 외해경계에서 4개의 주요분조($M_2,S_2,K_1,O_1$)의 진폭과 위상각을 대입하고 2차원 ADCIRC 및 3차원 TIDE3D 모형을 적용하였다. 내부는 여기에 3개 연직층을 고려한 3차원 ICM 모델이 추가 적용되었다. 내부의 혼합확산 평가 결과는 시간이 지남에 따라 외해에서 유입되는 염수가 상대적으로 저염인 담수호 내부로 유입 확산되는 것이 평면적으로나 연직방향으로 변화되는 것을 매우 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있고, 최소 1개월 이상 경과되어야 만경호측에 외해수가 혼합되는 것으로 분석된다. 수문을 개방하지 않은 상태에서 새만금 방조제 외해의 최강창낙조시 조류속도는 0.5-0.6m/s 정도에 해당되는 것으로 분석되었다. 신시갑문을 개방하는 경우 관리수위가 DL=-1.5m와 DL=+0.5m로 변함에 따라 갑문 전면 10Km-l3Km에 이르는 해역까지 수문개방에 따라 0.5m/s의 유속이 형성된다. 가력갑문을 개방하는 경우는 신시갑문의 개방에 따른 영향보다는 작지만 갑문 전면 14Km까지 0.5m/s의 강한 유동이 관리수위별로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 결과는 담수 방류로 인한 영향이 주기적으로 낙조시에 발생되어 새만금 방조제 전면의 해수순환과 유동에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 개연성을 제시하는 것으로 해석된다.$\cdot$유출에 의한 수질변화양상을 단계적으로 구분하여 수질변화에 중요한 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 이론적인 분석을 수행하고, 배수갑문 개방에 의한 수질개선효과를 최대화하기 위한 환경관리 방안 제시에 중점을 두어 수행하였다.ncy), 환경성(environmental feasibility) 등을 정성적으로(qualitatively) 파악하여 실현가능한 대안을 선정하였다. 이렇게 선정된 대안들은 중유역별로 검토하여 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되는 대안들을 제시하는 예비타당성(Prefeasibility) 계획을 수립하였다. 이렇게 제시된 계획은 향후 과학적인 분석(세부평가방법)을 통해 대안을 평가하고 구체적인 타당성(feasibility) 계획을 수립하는데 토대가 될 것이다.{0.11R(mm)}(r^2=0.69)$로 나타났다. 이는 토양의 투수특성에 따라 강우량 증가에 비례하여 점증하는 침투수와 구분되는 현상이었다. 경사와 토양이 같은 조건에서 나지의 경우 역시 $Ro_{B10}(mm)=20.3e^{0.08R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심

  • Objectives : This study looked at the symptoms of alexithymia in schizophrenia and their association with clinical variables and schizophrenic symptomatology. Methods Consecutive fifty eight inpatients with DSM-IV diagnoses of schizophrenia completed 26item version of Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), Symptom Checklist-90-Revised(SCL-90-R), and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS). Results : Authors did not find any correlation between scores of PANSS and TAS. However, all the subscale scores of SCL-90-R were significantly correlated with total score of TAS. Also, 'difficulty identifying and deistinguishing between feelings and bodily sensations' and 'difficulty describing feelings' significantly correlated with SCL-90-R subscale scores. 'Reduced daydreaming' had mixed findings and 'externally oriented thinking' did not correlate. Multiple regression model included Global Severity Index of SCL-90-R accounting 28.2% of variance for TAS scores. Conclusion : These findings together with discrepancy in results between objective and subjective tests suggest that alexithymia in schizophrenia may have two constructs, 'difficulty to describe and communicate feelings(state)' and 'externally oriented thinking(trait)' Authors suggest further study needs to confirm construct validity of TAS in this population.

  • The contextual subjective well-being (SWB) of context-aware system users can be very helpful in recommending relevant mental health services, especially for those who struggle with mental illness due to a metabolic syndrome or melancholia. Self-surveying measuring or auto-sensing methods have been suggested to monitor users' SWB. However, self-surveying measuring method is not inappropriate for a context-aware service due to requesting personal data in a manual and hence obtrusive manner. Moreover, auto-sensing methods still suffer from accuracy problem to be applied in mental health services. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a contextual SWB estimation method to estimate the user's mental health in unobtrusive and accurate manners. This method is timely in that it acquires context data from the user's literal responses, which expose their temporal feeling. In particular, we developed a measuring method based on exposed feeling verbs and degree adverbs in chat and other text-based communications which show anger or negative feelings. Based on the proposed contextual SWB degree estimation method, we developed an idea of well-being life care recommendation. From the experiment with actual drivers, we demonstrated that the proposed method accurately estimate the user's degree of negative feelings even though it does not require a self-survey.

  • In order to figure out hydrodynamic and water quality changes after completion of dike construction of the Saemangeum, which behaves as a semi-enclosed estuarine lake, numerical simulations based on fine grid structure by using EFDC were intensively carried out. In this study some limitations of precedent study has been improved and gate operation were considered. Also 3 phases such as air-water-sediment interaction modeling was considered. It is clear that inner mixing of the Saemangeum is dominated by Mankyeong and Dongjin riverine discharges rather than the gate opening influence through the Lagrangian particle tracking simulations. Vertical DO structure after the dike completion shows steep gradient especially at Dongjin river estuary due to lessen of outer sea water exchange. Increasing SOD at stagnantly changed man-made reservoir might cause oxygen deficiency and accelerating degradation of water quality. According to TSI evaluation test representing eutrophication status, it shows high possibility of eutrophication along Mankyeong waterway in spite of dike completion, while the index is getting high after final closing along Dongjin waterway. Numerical tests with gate operations show significant differences in water quality. Thus it should be noted that proper gate operation plays a major role in preserving target water quality and management for inner development plan.
