The purpose of this study was to redefine the cephalometric landmarks in three-dimensional (3D) images, which are used in orthodontic cephalometric radiography, and to evaluate the reproducibility of each landmark for 3D cephalometric analysis. Eighteen CT scans were taken at the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Seoul National University Dental Hospital and manipulated with V works 4.0(Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea). The coordinate system was established using 7 reference points, with no more than 4 points on the same plane. These 7 points were generated as a volume model, the voxel size of which was 4 by 4 by 2 (threshold value=639). The cephalometric landmarks were selected at the multiplanar reformation (MPR) window on the volume mode of V works 4.0. The selected landmarks were exported to V surgery (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea) for the calculation of coordinate values. All the data were taken twice with a lapse of 2 weeks by one investigator The reproducibility of each landmark was $0.17\~1.21mm$ in the x axis, $0.30\~1.53mm$. In the y axis, and $0.27\~1.81mm$ in the z axis. In all three axes, the range of error was similar. These error ranges were acceptable with regards to the pixel space and slice thickness. The most reproducible points were 1 points which were selected on the basis of the volume model. The least reproducible points were J points that were defined by sutures.

The use of air diffuser system to ameliorate the reservoir by breaking stratification is now widespread. This study focuses on the hydrodynamic behavior of bubble plumes, which is the major mechanism of destratification and their combined effect of adjacent plumes on destratification efficiency. By introducing 2-phase Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) technique, we could suggest the optimal diffuser spacing having optimal destratification efficiency by simply analyzing the complex destratification procedures varying with the seasonal stratification intensity and bubble flow rate. Lab experiments were also carried out to verify CFD model in thermally stratified fresh water which quite differs from former researches using salts. This study showed that the mixing efficiency strongly depends on the spacing of neighboring plumes. When diffuser spacing is lower than 1.5 times the depth, the combined effect is stronger; as Plume Number(PN) is increased, the efficiency is strongly affected by spacing. If the distance is shorter than the depth of water, the efficiency increases linearly in proportion to PN. Otherwise, the efficiency increases non-linearly. These findings suggest that the combined effect should be more quantitatively taken into consideration for design and operation of air-diffuser destratification system, and recommend that the optimal destratification efficiency will be when plume number is 1000 and the spacing between neighboring diffusers is 1.5 times the depth.

그동안의 하천 유량자료는 주로 홍수방어를 목적으로 구축되어진 관계로 대부분 홍수기에만 의미있는 자료를 갖추고 있으며, 환경관리에 필요한 저갈수기 유량자료는 그 신뢰도가 매우 떨어지고 있다. 다행히 지난 2004년 하반기부터 4대강 물환경 연구소에서 직접 오염총량관리 단위유역 말단부에서 8일 간격으로 유량과 수질을 동시에 측정하기 시작하였고, 사업의 결과 건기 우기의 구별 없이 연중 일정한 간격으로 하천유황 및 수질의 변동여부를 확인하는 것이 가능하게 되었으나, 각 단위유역별 유황곡선을 작성할 목적으로 8일 간격 유량자료를 사용할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 즉, 현재 관측 중인 8일 간격 유량자료만으로는 동시 관측이 진행 중인 수질항목과 유량 사이의 상관관계 정도를 파악한다거나, 어떤 방법으로든 수문모형을 구축한 후 이를 부분적으로 검정할 때 참고자료로 사용하는 정도로 그 용도가 한정될 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강 오염총량관리 41개 단위유역 전체를 대상으로 관측된 8일 간격 유량자료를 이용하여 이를 1일 간격 유량자료로 확장을 시도하였다. 이를 위하여 기존의 TANK 모형에 하도추적기능을 추가한 보다 진보된 TANK 모형을 구성하였다. 낙동강 단위유역별 취수량과 방류량을 바탕으로 한 물수지 자료 또한 구비하여 모형에 고려되도록 하였다. 모형의 매개변수 추정을 위하여 국립환경과학원 낙동강물환경연구소에서 8일 간격으로 관측한 유량자료가 이용되었다. 분석결과 모의된 일유량이 실제 유량을 비교적 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타남에 따라 8일간격 유량관측자료의 일유량으로의 확장 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 구축된 모형은 적용에 앞서 10년 평균 저수량을 기준으로 1차 오염총량관리 기준유량과의 비교를 시도하였으며, 상류 댐 방류의 영향 및 물수지의 영향을 배제한 상태의 자연유량을 산정하여 이를 현재 유황과의 비교를 수행하였다. 현재유량과의 비교 결과 다목적 댐의 방류효과로 인한 유량 증가효과 및 대규모의 취수로 인한 유량 감소효과가 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 산정된 자연유량을 통하여 비유량을 산정한 결과 $5,000km^2$이하인 유역 면적의 경우 비유량 $0.0048m^3/s/km$를, $5,000km^2$이상인 경우에는 비유량 $0.0043m^3/s/km$를 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 분석되었다. 여기에 유역의 물이용 및 상류의 댐 방류 효과가 고려되면 실제 유역의 저수량을 개략적으로 산정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Site characterization for structural stability in rock masses mainly involves the collection of joint property data, and in the current practice, much of this data is collected by hand directly at exposed slopes and outcrops. There are many issues with the collection of this data in the field, including issues of safety, slope access, field time, lack of data quantity, reusability of data and human bias. It is shown that information on joint orientation, spacing and roughness in rock masses, can be automatically extracted from LIDAR (light detection and ranging) point floods using the currently available Split-FX point cloud processing software, thereby reducing processing time, safety and human bias issues.

Purpose: The use of SUV which should be normalized by lean body mass (LBM) is recommended for PET response criteria in solid tumors. LBM which was determined by whole body CT was used for SUV normalization (SUL) in this study. The purpose of the present study was to assess interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility of SUL measurements in reference organs. Materials and Methods: F-18 FDG PET/CT was conducted on 52 subjects and LBMs were directly determine by whole body CT for normalization of SUV. The 3 cm diameter spherical VOI, $1\times2$ cm cylindrical VOI, 2 cm diameter spherical VOI were placed in the liver, descending aorta and spleen, respectively. Experienced two observers measured SULmax and SULmean in each organ. Repeated measurements were conducted two weeks apart by observer 1 blind to previous results. Similarly, measurements were conducted on the same patients by observer 2. For assessing reproducibility(or repeatability), the paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients (CC), and technical error of measurement (TEM) were calculated. Results: For interobserver reproducibility in liver SULmax and SULmean, no significant differences were found between observers(paired t-test, P=0.536, 0.293, respectively). CC and TEM for liver SULmean were 0.909 (P=0.000) and 0.067 SUL unit, respectively. Corresponding figures for liver SULmax were 0.882 (P=0.000) and 0.117 SUL unit, respectively. For intraobserver reproducibility in liver SULmax and SULmean, no significant differences were observed within observer1 (paired t-test, P=0.374, 0.268, respectively). CC and TEM for liver SULmean were 0.924 (P=0.000) and 0.061 SUL, respectively. Corresponding figures for liver SULmax were 0.908 (P=0.000) and 0.104 SUL, respectively. Similarly, no significant differences were found in SULmax and SULmean of the spleen and aorta between observers. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that both SULmean and SULmax measurements in normal reference organs are highly reproducible. Reproducibility of SULmean in reference organs were slightly better than SULmax. Interobsever technical error of measurement was less than 0.10 SUL unit for liver SULmean, and 0.12 SUL unit for liver SULmax. Intraobsever technical error of measurement was less than 0.07 SUL unit for liver SULmean, and 0.11 SUL unit for liver SULmax.

Recently, wireless networking devices that depend on the limited Battery and power-saving of wireless hosts became important issue. Batteries can provide a finite amount of energy, therefore, to increase battery lifetime, it is important to design techniques to reduce energy consumption by wireless hosts. This paper improved power saying mechanism in Distributed Coordination Function(DCF) of IEEE 802.11. In the IEEE 802.11 power saving mechanism specified for DCF, time is divided into so-called beacon intervals. At the start of each beacon interval, each node in the power saving mode periodically wakes up during duration called the ATIM Window. The nodes are required to be synchronized to ensure that all nodes wake up at the same time. During the ATIM window, the nodes exchange control packets to determine whether they need to stay awake for the rest of the beacon interval. The size of the ATIM window has considerably affected power-saving. This paper can provide more power-saving than IEEE 802.11 power saving mode because ATIM window size is efficiently increased or decreased.

The stress history of a bridge is different depending on the characteristic of traffic flow. Because the flow is varied with vehicle type, weight and headway time etc., statistical analysis in bridges is necessary to estimate the history by traffic flow. By applying the statistical analyses in fracture mechanics, the remaining service life of the structure can be estimated. In this paper, 1)the statistical analysis of vehicle type, weight and headway time etc. to analysis randomness of traffic flow, 2)measuring and analysis of stress history of a real bridge, 3)reappearance of stress history by Monte-Carlo Simulation using constitution ratio of vehicle type, weight and headway time as probabilitic variable, 4)comparision of the calculated and modelled stress history, 5)calculation of reduction factor, 6)comparision of frequency of stress range depending on span length etc. were performed. From the results, the basic modelled stress history which is necessary for the method of estimation of the remaining service life of the structure could be suggested.

Temperature-related cleavage rates and mitotic intervals (${\tau}_o$) in the far eastern catfish Silurus asotus were studied by averaging the duration of the second and third embryonic divisions to establish effective procedures for chromosome manipulations. At higher temperatures eggs developed faster and underwent more asynchronous development. Mitotic intervals for far eastern catfish were $21.5{\pm}1.4$ min at $22^{\circ}C$, $18.5{\pm}1.2$ min at $24^{\circ}C$, and $14.0{\pm}2.1$ min at $26^{\circ}C$. There was a strong negative correlation between ${\tau}_o$ and water temperature (Y=-1.85X+21.9, $R^2=0.9868$, where Y is ${\tau}_o$ and X is temperature).

The accuracy of the upward continuation is assessed through the gravity modeling using an ultra-high degree spherical harmonic expansion. The difficulties in the numerical calculation of Legendre function with ultra-high degree, underflow and/or overflow, is successfully resolved in 128 bit calculation scheme. Using the generated Legendre function, the gravity anomaly with spatial resolution of $1'{\times}1'$ on the geoid is calculated. The generated gravity anomaly is degraded and extracted with various noise levels and data intervals, then upward continuation is applied to each data sets. The comparison between the upward continued gravity disturbances and the directly calculated from the spherical harmonics showed that the accuracy on the direct method was significantly better than that of Poisson method. In addition, it is verified that the denser and less noised gravity data on the geoid generates better gravity disturbance vectors at an altitude. Especially, it is found that the gravity noise level less than 5mGal, and the data interval less than 2arcmin is necessary for next generation precision INS navigation which requires the accuracy of 5mGal or better at an altitude.
