한국천문연구원은 한국우주전파관측망(Korean VLBI Network, KVN)에서 시험 운영 중인 한일공동VLBI상관기(Korea-Japan VLBI Correlator, KJJVC)의 핵심인 VLBI상관 서브시스템(VLBI Correlation Subsystem, VCS)을 제어하기 위해 CCS(Correlation Control Software)를 개발하였다. CCS는 명령어의 문법 검사를 하고, VCS와 TCP/IP 소켓으로 통신하여 명령어와 응답(reply)을 주고받으며, VCS의 실시간 요청에 대응하여 입력 지연 파라미터(delay parameter)를 자동으로 전달하는 소프트웨어이다. CCS는 사용자의 명령어를 local UNX FIFO를 통하여, 명령줄(Command Line)로 전달받고, 이러한 명령어들의 조합을 쉘 스크립트로 묶는 형태로 구성 되어있다. 그러나, 이렇게 명령어의 조합을 직접 편집하여 구성할 때, 입력할 명령어나 지연 파라미터의 구성이 복잡해지면, 스크립트에 필요한 명령이 문법에 맞지 않게 사용되거나, 일부 명령어가 누락될 수 있는 위험이 있다. 이러한 오류를 차단하고 작업 효율을 높이기 위하여, 상관 처리의 전체 운용 및 제어를 통합적으로 할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스가 필요하다. 이를 위하여 KJJVC의 운용 및 제어를 위한 GUI를 설계하고 제작하였다. 개발된 GUI는 Python 언어를 기반으로 하는 wxPython 패키지를 사용하였으며, 사용자(Operator)가 명령어 문법이나 순서를 확인할 필요 없이, 관측 정보와 관측국 정보, 기록 매체 정보만 가지고 손쉽게 명령어의 조합을 생성해 주며, 시스템 초기화와 각종 정보의 입력이 직관적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 해 준다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 GUI의 설계 및 개발 과정과 시험운영에 대해 소개한다.

As a way of improving the safety of the chemical facilities, the risk based-inspection(RBI) was executed for the facilities of the applied petrochemical plant using KS-RBI Ver. 3.0 program developed based on the API-581 based resource document(BRD). From an evaluation result of KS-RBI program, we could find the evaluation of the process safety management(PSM) for the applied plant, risk of the applied process, risk of static facilities and pipes, and the demage mechanism of the facilities. Also, we could suggest a proper inspection plan(frequency and method of inspection) using the calculated risk and the status of the facilities. Therefore, the applied plant could be achieved a reduced inspection cost by an extension of inspection frequency, improved productivity, improved reliability of the facilities, and a computerized history management.

건물 외벽에 발생하는 균열은 시설물 구조 안전에 영향을 미치며 그 크기에 따라 위험도가 달라진다. 이에 따라 전문검사관의 현장 점검을 통해 발생 균열 두께를 정밀하게 측정할 필요가 있고 최근에는 이러한 현장 안전점검에 인공지능을 도입하려는 추세다. 그러나 기존의 균열 데이터셋은 주로 콘크리트에만 한정되어 다양한 외벽에 강인한 모델을 구축하기 어렵고 균열 두께를 측정하기 위해 정확한 마스크(Mask) 정보가 필요하나 이를 만족하는 데이터셋이 부재하다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 외벽에 강인한 균열 구획화 모델을 목적으로 2,744장의 이미지를 촬영하고 매직 완드 기법으로 라벨링을 진행해 데이터셋을 구축 후, 이를 바탕으로 딥러닝 기반 균열 구획화 모델을 개발했다. UNet-ResNet50을 최종모델로 선정 및 개발 결과, 테스트 데이터셋에 대해 81.22%의 class IoU 성능을 보였다. 본 연구의 기술을 바탕으로 균열 두께를 측정하여 건축물 안전점검에 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Mammography is the primary imaging modality for breast cancer detection; however, a high level of expertise is needed for its interpretation. To overcome this difficulty, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for breast cancer detection have recently been investigated. In this review, we describe the characteristics of AI algorithms compared to conventional computer-aided diagnosis software and share our thoughts on the best methods to develop and validate the algorithms. Additionally, several AI algorithms have introduced for triaging screening mammograms, breast density assessment, and prediction of breast cancer risk have been introduced. Finally, we emphasize the need for interest and guidance from radiologists regarding AI research in mammography, considering the possibility that AI will be introduced shortly into clinical practice.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. There are many factors including genetic and environmental factors that influence asthma. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is involved in maintaining the T helper cells 1 and 2 (Th1/Th2) balance and plays an important role in the development of asthma. In this study, the correlation between the NDFIP2 gene that regulates the MAPK pathway and asthma was analyzed. The genetic polymorphism of the NDFIP2 gene was analyzed between 193 asthma patients and 3,228 healthy controls in Korea. As a result, 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showed a significant correlation (P<0.05) and high relative risk with asthma. Among them, rs2783122 of NDFIP2 showed a statistically significant association with asthma (P-value=9.76×10^-6, odds ratio (OR)=1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.33~2.10). In the SNP imputation on the NDFIP2, 16 SNPs were discovered, and all of them showed significant correlation with asthma and high odds ratio. The genotype-based mRNA expression analysis revealed that the group of minor alleles of rs1408049 showed increased mRNA expression. Increased NDFIP2 expression causes the activation of the MAPK pathway, and this may influence the development of asthma. In conclusion, the polymorphisms of NDFIP2 are associated with asthma development and this can provide the basis for new guidelines for the management of asthma in the Korean population.

Recently, Interests on The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been increased. In the manufacturing sector, the introduction of Smart Factory, which automates and intelligent all stages of manufacturing based on Cyber Physical System (CPS) technology, is spreading. The complexity and uncertainty of smart factories are likely to cause unexpected problems, which can lead to manufacturing process interruptions, malfunctions, and leakage of important information to the enterprise. It is emphasized that there is a need to perform systematic management by analyzing the threats to the Smart Factory. Therefore, this paper systematically identifies the threats using the STRIDE threat modeling technique using the data flow diagram of the overall production process procedure of Smart Factory. Then, using the Attack Tree, we analyze the risks and ultimately derive a checklist. The checklist provides quantitative data that can be used for future safety verification and security guideline production of Smart Factory.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between coronary artery calcification and risk factors of cardiovascular disease with multidetector computed tomography. Methods: Data were collected from 5,899 males between 30 and 59 years old by interview, survey, physical examination, blood test, and multidetector computed tomography in the university hospital from January 2010 to December 2011. We confirmed the coronary artery calcium scores of subjects by multidetector computed tomography and identified risk factors of cardiovascular disorders. We investigated the relationship between coronary artery calcification and risk factors of cardiovascular disorders. Results: Mean calcium score of the coronary arteries in 5,899 participants was 8.20, and 773 participants (13.1%) exhibited coronary artery calcification. The presence of coronary artery calcification was correlated to risk factors of cardiovascular disease (age, blood pressure, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, glucose, Apolipoprotein A-1, Apolipoprotein B, body mass index, waist circumference) and risk assessment tools of cardiovascular disorders. Significant predicted factors of coronary artery calcification had different patterns in each age group (30-39, 40-49, 50-59 years old). Conclusions: We confirmed the relationship between coronary artery calcification and either typical risk factors of cardiovascular disease or risk assessment tools of cardiovascular disease. In addition, we also observed that the pattern of these factors varied according to age. Therefore, age-related variation needs to be considered in management strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease.

This study aimed to compare chair-side test results for caries risk assessment and evaluate how well the tests reflect caries experience. The study was conducted on children aged < 6 years in primary dentition. Dental examination of children was conducted to determine the dmft index and subjects were divided into two groups : group I (dmft < 6), group II (dmft > 6). This study used four kinds of test kits (Plaque-check PH kit, Saliva-check buffer kit, Saliva-check mutans kit, Cytoperio analysis system). Saliva buffer capacity was significantly low in the high caries experience group (dmft > 6) and correlated with dmft index. Saliva pH level correlated significantly with saliva buffer capacity. The results showed that plaque pH and saliva pH levels had no correlation with dmft index. The Streptococcus mutans level measured by using the Saliva-check mutans and Cytoperio analysis system did not correlate with dmft index.

Recently, the kind and number of malicious code, which operates in Operation System of smart devices, are rapidly increasing along with the fast supplement of smart devices. Especially, smart devices based on Android OS have high potential of danger to expose to malicious code as it has an easy access to system authority. When using intent, the global message system provided from Android, inter approach between applications is available, and possible to access to created data by the device. Intent provides convenience to application development in the aspect of reusability of component however, it could be appointed as a risk element in security-wise. Therefore, if intent is used in malicious purpose, it is easy to lead the condition where is weak on security. That is, it is possible to control as accessing to resources which application is carrying to operate by receiving intents as making smart device uncontrollable or consuming system resources. Especially, in case of system authority is achieved, the risks such as smart device control or personal information exposure become bigger when misusing broadcast intent through malicious code. This paper proposes a corresponding method of security vulnerability of Android intent that monitors the appearance of intent with intent pattern inspection, detects and blocks unidentified pattern intent.

While they are becoming more viable, synthetic natural gas (SNG) plants, with their high temperatures and pressures, are still heavily dependent on advancements in the state-of-the-art technologies. However, most of the current work in the literature is focused on optimizing chemical processes and process variables, with little work being done on relevant mechanical damage and maintenance engineering. In this study, a combination of pipe system stress analysis and detailed local stress analysis was implemented to prioritize the inspection locations for main pipes of SNG plant in accordance to ASME B31.3. A pipe system stress analysis was conducted for pre-selecting critical locations by considering design condition and actual operating conditions such as heat-up and cool-down. Identified critical locations were further analyzed using a finite element method to locate specific high-stress points. Resultant stress values met ASME B31.3 code standards for the gasification reactor and lower transition piece (bend Y in Fig.1); however, it is recommended that the vertical displacement of bend Y be restricted more. The results presented here provide valuable information for future risk based maintenance inspection and further safe operation considerations.
