This study was conducted to investigate quality characteristics of white pan bread with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder having functional components. Mixograph, pH, TPA, volume, specific volume, moisture, CrumbScan, color value, sensory evaluation and shelf-life test were performed on the white pan bread with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. The obtained results are as follows. Mixogram analysis results showed that the dough with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was suitable for baking quality. The more Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was added in the dough, the higher dough pH was and the lower pH values after fermentation and of the final productwere. TPA analysis results showed that higher amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder resulted in increased hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of the white pan bread. Volume and specific volume of white pan bread were decreased with increased amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. CrumbScan images showed that fineness of grain, crust thickness, and volume of the bread were significantly different depending on the amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. While color value analysis showed that increasing the amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder resulted in low L and a values. The results of the acceptance test showed that CLP3 had better scores in the appearance and texture characteristics than the control, while taste and overall acceptance were higher in the CLP2 compared with the control. According to the results of the shelf-life test, the white pan bread with 1~2% of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder had a significantly lower hardness when compared with the control. It was judged that a lower amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder could help in maintaining the softness of bread crumbs. Moisture content in the white pan bread decreased with the increased amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder, but there were no significant differences among specimens.

In this study, fine $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb powder was synthesized by using a low temperature solution-combustion method for a high-resolution digital x-ray imaging detector. From the fabricated phosphor power, the fine scintillator films was fabricated by particle sedimentation method and was investigated the luminescent property. From the experimental results of relative light output as a function of terbium concentration, the highest luminescent efficiency has at 5 wt% Tb concentration, and luminescent intensity decreased rapidly according to quenching effect about higher Tb concentration. Also, the relative light output of $270{\mu}m$-$Gd_2O_2S$:Tb film has 2945 pC/$cm^2$/mR. And light intensity was saturated at higher film thickness. Finally, to evaluate an image acquisition performance of fabricated phosphor, images were obtained by using commercial CMOS sensor and measured the MTF, NPS, and DQE. DQE(0 lp/mm) of fine phosphor film has 37%. But, DQE improvement of fine phosphor film is possible by resolving problem of film fabrication process and has a significant potential in the application of digital radiation imaging system later.

The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the surface radiation dose reduction and radiograph artifact images in computed tomography (CT) for the manufactured radiation shields by using sea-shells. The radiation convergence shields were made from silicons, sea-shells, barium powders, producted circle types of diameter 50 mm, thickness 3.5 mm for 5 kinds (only silicon shield, only barium shield, mixed sea-shells with silicon shield, mixed barium with silicon shield, mixed sea-shells with barium and silicon shield). Radiation generation and acquisition were used 4-channel multi-detector CT. The results of this study showed that mixed sea-shells with silicon shields could reduce the surface dose of 5.3% without radiograph artifact images. In the future, we will expect the radiation convergence shield as environmentally friendly materials by using the recycling of sea-shells with the advantages of silicon which can make various shapes.

White bread containing lotus root powder was previously reported as unsatisfactory with respect to appearance and chewiness. In this research, white bread samples were prepared using ethanol(2 wt.%) and lotus root powder(3, 6, or 9 wt. %), and compared to those prepared without ethanol (reference breads). The volumes and heights of the reference breads increased with increasing lotus root powder content. The moisture contents of the breads prepared with ethanol were higher than those of the corresponding reference breads. The hardness and fracturability of the breads made with ethanol were lower than those of the reference breads; however, springiness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and chewiness were enhanced. In terms of appearance and sensory qualities, optimum results were obtained when the ethanol was added along with 6 wt. % lotus root powder. Overall, the results indicate that adding ethanol can improve the quality of white breads that contain lotus root powder.

유방 질만 분석을 위한 병리진단에서는 암종세포의 세관형성 정도와 핵의 다형성과 유사분말정도를 기준으로 하여 나누는 방법이 용이하고 재현성이 높다. 그 중에서도 세포핵의 크기와 다형성, 핵과 세포질의 비율은 양성종양과 악성종양을 분류하는데 있어서 중요한 요소중의 하나이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 유방 질단 영상에서 세포핵을 추출하여, 핵의 형태학적 특징값인 핵의 연적 둘레, 가로·세로(장·단축)의 길이를 구하고 핵과 세포질의 비율을 계산한 후, 추출한 형태학적 특성 칸들이 양성종양과 악성종양으로 분류하는데 있어서 유의한 특성 값인지 비교·분석하였다.

Annealing experiments on albite powders, thin sections, and TEM specimens have been performed utilizing an optical microscope heating stage. Sample orientations were determined by optical microscope and XRD, and then confirmed by TEM diffraction patterns. Partial melting of samples occurred at $1030^{\circ}C$-l2 hr for powder, but at $1060^{\circ}C$-12 hr for TEM specimen. It is difficult to get TEM images of albite microstructures above this temperature due to thickening and the amorphous phase of the melted part. Correlative studies between optical microscopy and TEM indicated that the $1050^{\circ}C$-12 hr annealing in ambient condition was most adequate to observe tweed microstructures in albite through TEM. In situ TEM heating experiments for direct observation of tweed microstructures in albite may require annealing at slightly higher temperatures than $1050^{\circ}C$ considering the high vacuum condition inside TEM.

In this paper, we propose an image segmentation method preserving object's boundaries by using the number of quantized colors and merging regions using adaptive threshold values. First of all, the proposed method quantizes an original image by a vector quantization and the number of quantized colors is determined differently using PSNR each image. We obtain initial regions from the quantized image, merge initial regions in CIE Lab color space and RGB color space step by step and segment the image into semantic regions. In each merging step, we use color distance between adjacent regions as similarity-measure. Threshold values for region-merging are determined adaptively according to the global mean of the color difference between the original image and its split-regions and the mean of those variations. Also, if the segmented image of RGB color space doesn't split into semantic objects, we merge the image again in the CIE Lab color space as post-processing. Whether the post-processing is done is determined by using the color distance between initial regions of the image and the segmented image of RGB color space. Experiment results show that the proposed method splits an original image into main objects and boundaries of the segmented image are preserved. Also, the proposed method provides better results for objective measure than the conventional method.

Fire simulation by using a computational fluid dynamics model and examination of the fires at indoor shooting ranges broken out in the past were conducted, to presume causes of the fire at the indoor shooting range in Busan and suggest fire safety measures. On-site investigations and shooting tests on unburned gunpowder were also carried out. No trace of the muzzle spark and spark at the bullet trap was found in CCTV footage, and the impact of a stray bullet failed to ignite gunpowder. Cigarette was therefore presumed to be the most likely source of ignition among the potential sources. It appeared that the explosion in the shooting area was caused by violent burning of the polyurethane sound absorber and unburned gunpowder accumulated on it. The fire safety measures include prohibit of use of profile polyurethane sound absorber, removal of steel components from bullet trap, clean up and control of unburned gunpowder, etc.

Solid typed organic fertilizer from cattle manure may Increase plant root growth with the residual effect on soil fertility if it was applied directly into root system. It may also increase labour efficiency by simplifying the work process of manure application to soil. This research was carried out from May to October 1999 to study the fertility prolongation effects of bar typed organic fertilizer from poultry manure by analysing plant growth model compare with those of the chemical fertilizer or powder typed manure. The results showed that the bar typed organic fertilizer increased growth rates of shoot and root system with extending the effect of its fertility by slow releasing on pepper plant. Especially, solidifying organic manure into the bar type made possible the application of cattle manure under plastic mulching. And it also has benefits on simplifying the application process of the fertilization and effect on an extending soil fertility.

In Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, a linear transducer (12-5 MHz) with a contact surface length of 6 cm, which is commonly distributed in medical institutions, does not contact with bent fingers and wrist depressions only by using a conventional liquid ultrasound gel, which causes image loss. In order to solve this image loss, the use of commercially available Water gel pad is increasing. However, it is a disposable medical product. Repeated use is prohibited and expensive. In this study, in order to reduce the economic burden caused by the use of the commercialized Water gel Pad, we searched for water-soluble food thickener powder that can be easily purchased around our lives and manufactured Gel pads. Among them, kappa-Carrageenan Gel Pad, iota-Carrageenan Gel Pad, and Agar-Agar Gel Pad satisfied the evaluation criteria without artifacts in image evaluation using the N-365 Multipurpose Phantom. Also, the price to purchase the food thickener powder was about 38 times cheaper than the existing commercialized Water gel pad. As a result, if you use the food thickener powder such as kappa-Carrageenan, iota-Carrageenan and Agar-Agar to make solidified elastic Gel pad without a cover instead of the commercially available expensive disposable Water gel pad, the convenience and usefulness of use are improved. It is judged that the manufactured Gel pads can contribute well to the role of efficient ultrasound propagation medium.
