In this paper, we introduce a method to synthesize realistic make-up effects on input images efficiently. In particular, we focus on shading on the make-up effects due to the lighting and face curvature. By doing this, we can synthesize a wider range of effects realistically than the previous methods. To do this, the information about lighting information together with the normal vectors on all pixels over the face region in the input image. Since the previous methods that compute lighting information and normal vectors require relatively heavy computation cost, we introduce an approach to approximate lighting information using cascade pose regression process and normal vectors by transforming, rendering, and warping a standard 3D face model. The proposed method consumes much less computation time than the previous methods. In our experiment, we show the proposed approximation technique can produce naturally looking virtual make-up effects.

a-Si solar cell has relatively dominant drift current when compared with crystalline solar cell due to the high internal electric field. Such drift current make an impact on the PV module in the local shading. In this paper, the a-Si PV module output characteristics of shading effects was approached in terms of process condition, because of the different deposition layer of thin film lead to rising the resistance. We suggested design condition to ensure the long-term durability of the module with regard to the degradation factors such as hot spot by analyzing the module specification. The result shows a remarkable difference on module uniformity for each shading position. In addition, the unbalanced power loss due to power mismatch of each module could intensify the degradation.

The melting phenomenal of the horizontal cylindrical ice-bar submerged in water are experimentally investigated for the temperature range from 2.5.deg. C to 15.deg. C. The shapes of the melting ice-bar are recorded by the Photo-elasticity Apparatus with modification of the test section. The shadowgraphs of the melting ice-bar show that water adjacent to the bar flows upward for the temperature range from 2.5.deg. C to 5.6.deg. C while above the temperature of 5.6.deg. C the flow is downward direction. The local and average Nusselt numbers become minimum at 5.6.deg. C which is considered as a critical temperature and the Nusselt numbers increase as temperature difference from the critical temperature increase.

In this paper, we propose an improved numeric character recognition method which can recognize numeric characters well under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The LN(Local Normalization) preprocessing method is used in order to enhance low-illuminated and shade-illuminated image quality. The reading area is detected using line segment information extracted from the illumination-normalized meter images, and then the three-phase procedures are performed for segmentation of numeric characters in the reading area. Finally, an efficient hybrid classifier is used to classify the segmented numeric characters. The proposed numeric character classifier is a combination of multi-layered feedforward neural network and template matching module. Robust heuristic rules are applied to classify the numeric characters. Experiments using meter image database were conducted. Meter image database was made using various kinds of meters under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The experimental results indicates the superiority of the proposed numeric character recognition method.

통신시장의 경쟁 심화, 소비자 요구 다양화, 통신비 부담 증가와 더불어 유무선 통신 기술 발달로 유무선 융합 서비스의 출현이 기대되어 2007년부터 펨토셀이 각광받기 시작했다. 유무선사업자에 대한 이동통신 사업자의 경쟁력 강화와 신규 수익 모델 창출 방안으로 이동통신 전화 중심의 유무선 융합 기술인 펨토셀이 부상된 것이다. 펨토셀(Femtocells)은 가정이나 사무실 등 실내에서 사용되는 초소형 이동통신용 기지국으로서, 음영지역을 해소하는 대안이며, 유무선 컨버전스 서비스를 위한 실내 통신 인프라로 활용할 수 있다는 점에서 전 세계 통신업체들의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한편 이동통신 모뎀이 3G WCDMA에서 4G LTE/LTE-Adv.로 급속히 변경될 것으로 예측되고 있다. 펨토셀이 음영지역을 대체하는 효과만으론 시장활성화가 급속하게 이루어지지 않았으나, 4G 이동통신으로 넘어가면서 LTE 펨토셀 보급도 급물살을 탈 것으로 예측된다. 그 이유는 LTE가 패킷데이터 전송에 기반을 둔 다양한 서비스 지원이 가능한 이동통신으로서 하향링크 최대 전송속도 300Mbps peak data rate가 가능하기 때문이다. 휴대셋에서 고속의 멀티미디어 서비스가 가능해 질 수 있음을 시사하는 것이다. 본보고서는 LTE 기반 펨토셀 구조를 살펴보고, 표준화동향 및 산업체 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

"소기도"라 일컬어지는 해부학적 부위는 말단부 막성 세기관지와 호흡성 세기관지로 구성된 직경 3 mm 이하의 기도부위이다. 방사선학적으로는 고해상 전산화단층촬영(CT)에서 흉막직하의 직경 약 1.0 cm으로 이루어진 2차 소엽내의 중심부에 위치하게 된다. 그러므로 이 부위의 질환때에는 중심소엽성 세기관지내의 가득찬 물질로 인해 나타나는 중심소엽성 결절들과 선상음영들이 보인다. 이외의 소견으로는 중심소엽성 폐기종, 모자이크 모양의 폐음영, 분절하 무기폐등이 있고, 호기시 CT 촬영에서 나타나는 공기포획이 있다. 최근에는 다검출기형식의 CT (multidetector CT)의 발전으로 인하여 이차원 재구성 (2 dimension reformat) 관상면, 시상면 CT 스캔을 매우 명확하고 빨리 얻을 수 있고, 기관지에 대한 삼차원 볼륨 영상 (3 dimentional volume rendering image) 등을 얻어서 가시적인 효과를 높이고 진단의 정확성에 보다 더 접근하게 되었다. 소기도를 침범하는 질환은 일차적인 것과 이차적인 것이 있는데, 병리조직학적으로는 원인별로 흡연으로 인한 소기도 질환, 세포성 세기관지염, 수축성 세기관지염, 증식성 세기관지염등으로 구분하며 여기에는 이와 같은 병리질환을 일으키는 다양한 원인들이 포함된다. 이외에도 드문 질환으로 미만성 범세기관지염, 광물질에 의한 소기도 질환등이 있다.

Background : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a diffuse inflammatory and fibrosing process that occurs within the interstitium and alveolus of the lung with invariably poor prognosis. The major problem in management of IPF results from the variable rate of disease progression and the difficulties in predicting the response to therapy. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy of steroid and immunosuppressive therapy for IPF and to identify the pre-treatment determinants of favorable response. Method : Twenty patients of IPF were included. Diagnosis of IPF was proven by thoracoscopic lung biopsy and they were presumed to have active progressive disease. The baseline evaluation in these patients included clinical history, pulmonary function test, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and chest high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Fourteen patients received oral prednisolone treatment with initial dose of 1mg/kg/day for 8 to 12 weeks and then tapering to low-dose prednisolone (0.25mg/kg/day). Six patients who previously had experienced significant side effects to steroid received 2mg/kg/day of oral cyclophosphamide with or without low-dose prednisolone. Follow-up evaluation was performed after 6 months of therapy. If patients met more than one of followings, they were considered to be responders : (1) improvement of more than one grade in dyspnea index, (2) improvement in FVC or TLC more than 10% or improvement in DLco more than 20% (3) decreased extent of disease in chest HRCT findings. Result : One patient died of extrapulmonary cause after 3 month of therapy, and another patient gave up any further medical therapy due to side effect of steroid. Eventually medical records of 18 patients were analyzed. Nine of 18 patients were classified into responders and the other nine patients into nonresponders. The histopathologic diagnosis of the responders were all nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and that of nonresponders were all usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) (p<0.001). The other significant differences between the two groups were female predominance (p<0.01), smoking history (p<0.001), severe grade of dyspnea (p<0.05), lymphocytosis in BAL fluid ($23.8{\pm}16.3%$ vs $7.8{\pm}3.6%$, p<0.05), and less honeycombing in chest HRCT findings (0% vs $9.2{\pm}2.3%$, p<0.001). Conclusion : Our results suggest that patients with histopathologic diagnosis of NSIP or lymphocytosis in BAL fluid are more likely to respond to steroid or immunosuppressive therapy. Clinical results in large numbers of IPF patients will be required to identify the independent variables.

For the preliminary step for estimating the performance of roof-type photovoltaic system in urban areas, we analyzed the solar radiation reduction ratio by shadow effect by buildings using DSM (Digital Surface Model) and GIS (Geographical Information System) tools. An average loss by the shadow is about 19% in Seoul. The result was related to the building density and distribution. Monthly results show that the winter season (December and January) was more affected by the shading than during the summer season (June and July). It is expected that useful empirical formulas can be made if more detailed correlation studies are performed.
