The SWBF(shrink-wrapped boundary face) algorithm is a recent mesh reconstruction method for constructing a surface model from a set of unorganized 3D points. In this paper, we point out the surface duplication problem of SWBF and propose an improved mesh reconstruction scheme. Our method tries to classify the non-boundary cells as the inner cell or the outer cell, and makes an initial mesh without surface duplication by adopting the improved boundary face definition. To handle the directional unbalance of surface sampling density arise in typical 3D scanners, two dimensional connectivity in the cell image is introduced and utilized. According to experiments, our method is proved to be very useful to overcome the surface duplication problem of the SWBF algorithm.

This paper aims to explore organisational change and learning involving spatial processes and outcomes. In particular, it focuses on the context specific nature of corporate learning and organisational change that can be found in the case of a large Korean firm facing radical economic change. Drawing on the case study of a large Korean firm, the Samsung Electronics Company, three main claims can be followed. First, territorial sources of learning influence the way in which the firm makes use of space/place. Second, corporate learning practices, however, are not based merely on specific localised sources or geographical proximity but on bringing together the local and the global sources by harnessing the properties of relational proximities. It reveals that firms are concerned less on specialising specific local knowledge than promoting organisational knowledge and competences by integrating a variety of knowledge distributed in and out of the boundaries of the firm. Finally, to learn and innovate in a continual basis, firms would attempt to combine codified knowledge with tacit knowledge.

The propagation characteristics of a mechanical wave in human soft tissue depend on its elastic properties. Investigation of these propagation characteristics is of paramount importance because it may enable us to diagnose cancer or tumor from the vibration response of the tissue. This paper investigates and compares displacement patterns generated in soft tissue due to several forms of low-frequency vibration sources placed on a surface. Among vibration sources considered are a normal load, tangential load, and antiplane shear load. We derive analytical expressions for displacements in viscoelastic single layers, and calculate displacement patterns in half space and infinite plate type tissue. Also, we simulate the vibration response of a finite-sized tissue using finite element method. The effects of the type of stress, the size and frequency of vibration sources, and medium boundaries on displacement patterns are discussed.

In tissue engineering area, researchers observe symbiotic relationship such as proliferation, interaction, division apoptosis with time between cells in process of the 3D cell culture in hydrogels. The 3D cell culture process can be taken photographs into sliced images using confocal microscope. Symbiotic mechanism and changes of cell behaviors can be observed and analyzed from the images acquired by confocal microscope. In this paper, we proposed and developed graded noise elimination method and cluster boundary extraction method to extract boundaries information from sliced confocal images acquired in process of the 3D cell culture in hydrogels. The experiment based algorithm showed excellent performance for eliminating noises that have very small millet-shaped size. It is also showed to extract exact boundaries information for even complex clusters.

Non-rigid registration between different modality images with shape deformation can be used to diagnosis and study for inter-patient image registration, longitudinal intra-patient registration, and registration between a patient image and an atlas image. This paper proposes a hierarchical registration method using bodily tissue based segmentation for registration between color images and CT images of the Visible Human leg areas. The cross-sectional color images and the axial CT images are segmented into three distinctive bodily tissue regions, respectively: fat, muscle, and bone. Each region is separately registered hierarchically. Bounding boxes containing bodily tissue regions in different modalities are initially registered. Then, boundaries of the regions are globally registered within range of searching space. Local boundary segments of the regions are further registered for non-rigid registration of the sampled boundary points. Non-rigid registration parameters for the un-sampled points are interpolated linearly. Such hierarchical approach enables the method to register images efficiently. Moreover, registration of visibly distinct bodily tissue regions provides accurate and robust result in region boundaries and inside the regions.

생쥐를 48시간 동안 결식시킨 후 유문결찰하여 급성미란을 유발시키고 미란형성부의 점막 내위선을 구성하는 각 세포의 구조변화와 IgA 분비세포의 분포를 관찰하였다. 미란부 점액분포의 변화는 표면상피의 손상 정도가 심해질수록 경계부의 PAS양성반응은 감소되었으며 중심부에서는 표면상피의 소실로 인하여 PAS 양성반응이 관찰되지 않았다. Glycocalyx 관찰을 위한 ruthenium red 반응에서도 경계부의 상피세포 손상이 심해짐에 따라 정단세포막 상층에 나타나는 양성반응은 감소되었고 측면과 기저면의 양성반응은 관찰되지 않은 것으로 보아 세포 손상시 tight junction은 파괴되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 미란경계부의 미세구조변화로서, 상피세포는 손상이 진행될수록 세포질이 용해되어 공포가 형성되고 핵응축 및 정 단세포질의 점액원과립의 소실이 관찰되었으나 tight junction은 유지되었다. 반면에 점액경세포는 점액원과립의 수가 증가되고 조면소포체가 종창되어 있었다. 미란의 경계부와 중심부에서 벽세포는 다수의 소포가 출현한 후 세포내세관이 종창되었으며 그 후에 mitochondria가 파괴되었고 주세포는 주변의 벽세포가 커지면서 가장자리로 밀려나 크기가 정상보다 작아지고 조면소포체와 mitochondria가 종창을 나타내었다. IgA분비세포는 점막이 파괴된 미란부 점막하조직의 혈관 주변에 다수 존재하는 형질세포에서 확인되었다.

This study explores the evolution of technical innovation over time. It focuses on sectors of the information technology because this industry can be referred to as one of the most dynamic industries of all times. Following evolutionary theorists, we argue that technological change is gradual and that superior firms and technologies are reward by the' selection' environment. In the initial phase of the industry life cycle, technological change is expected to be radical and uncertainty is high. Over time a product or technology is likely to arise which stands out above all other products or technologies. These so-called 'basic designs' serve as sorts of 'technological guideposts' for further developments in the technology. Once a basic design established, technological progress tends to follow consistent paths or trajectories. The cumulative character of technological progress facilitates a rapid expansion of the boundaries of the technology until the natural limits of the technology are approached and technological progress slows down. Following ecological theories, supply-side developments in the industry are described on the basis of five different organizational types. On the basis of this pattern of market and technological evolution we came up with seven basic propositions.

This study concerns an advanced 3D surface reconstruction method that the vertices of surface model can be completely matched to the unstructured point cloud measured from arbitrary complex shapes. The concept of bounding voxel model is introduced to generate the mesh model well-representing the geometrical and topological characteristics of point cloud. In the reconstruction processes, the application of various methodologies such as shrink-wrapping, mesh simplification, local subdivision surface fitting, insertion of is isolated points, mesh optimization and so on, are required. Especially, the effectiveness, rapidity and reliability of the proposed surface reconstruction method are demonstrated by the simulation results for the geometrically and topologically complex shapes like dragon and human mouth.

이 연구에서는 대동층군 탄질 점판암내에 산출하는 탄질물의 미세구조를 고분해능 투과전자현미경(HRTEM)을 이용하여 조사하였다. 관찰된 탄질물은 구조가 부분적으로 흑연화된 흑연화과정의 초기단계 물질로서$ 100\AA$ 이하의 매우 얇은 크기로 일라이트 결정들의 경계면 사이나 일라이트 결정내에 협재되어 나타난다. 탄질물의 층상구조는 휘어있거나 불연속적이며, 부분적으로 원형조직을 보이는 "지문" 조직을 이루고 있다. 이러한 특징은 많은 결함구조를 가지고 구조적으로 충분히 흑연화되지 않은 물질에서 볼 수 있는 전형적인 구조다. 미세한 규모로 협재된 조직을 보이는 탄질물은 퇴적물의 속성작용과 저변성작용시 일라이트가 성장하는 동안에 포획되었거나, 또는 일라이트 이전의 점토광물내에 흡착되었던 물질들로부터 유래된 것으로 보인다. 이처럼 탄질물과 일라이트가 미세한 규모로 협재되어 산출하는 특징은 저변성암에서 일어나는 흑연화작용시 복잡한 미세구조의 변화가 수반되었음을 지시한다. 다양한 미세구조를 보여주는 흑연질 물질의 산출은 탄질물이 고온에서 균질한 흑연으로 생성되기까지 불연속적인 단계를 거쳐 반응할 가능성을 지시한다. 끝으로, 이 연구는 이온 빔을 이용하여 제작한 시료를 관찰함으로써 암석내에 함유된 탄질물들의 조직을 훼손하지 않고 관찰할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnant is very rare disease entity and usually occurs in mid and lower esophagus. The cause is esophageal sequestration of a tracheobronchial anlage before embryologic separation. A 4 years old girl was admitted with swallowing difficulty, food regurgitation which progressively got worse in recent 2 years. She was operated under the dagnosis of achalasia. During the myoto y procedure we found the bean sized hard nodular mass, which was 4cm above the esophagogastric junction, and after the resection of mass, esophagoplasty was carried out. The histologic finding of the mass revealed traheal cartilages and respiratory glands.
