Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular tumor of borderline or low-grade malignancy, and its prognosis is unpredictable. Herein, we describe the case of a 47-year-old asymptomatic female with a diagnosis of multinodular PEH. During a 7-year follow-up, the nodules with large size and high ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the initial study showed progression with increasing sizes; however, most small nodules (size < 1 cm) demonstrated spontaneous regression with peripheral rim or nodular calcification. The patient underwent surgical resection for an enlarged nodule. Of note, it is unusual for an individual to have mixed progression and regression concomitantly, which may be helpful in predicting the prognosis.

증강현실 기술은 자동차 네비게이션, 착용형 컴퓨터, 교육, 군사 등 많은 산업분야의 기술진화에 기인할 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서 는 이러한 증강현실 기술을 방송 서비스에 적용함으로서 방송의 일방향성 특성의 한계를 극복하여 관련 부가정보를 상호작용 형태 로 제공하는 인포테인먼트 서비스를 제공하며 시청자가 관심이 있는 시청점을 선택하여 시청할 수 있는 MPEG-4 LASeR 표준 기술 기반의 대화형 증감방송 서비스 시스템 개발에 관하여 설명하고자 한다. 또한 방송 서비스에 있어서 민감도가 높고 빠른 인식력을 가진 시각을 중심으로, 시청하는 시점을 선택제어가 가능한 시각추적 기반 실감 인터페이스를 추가적으로 개발함으로서 대화형 증감방 송 서비스 사용에 대한 소비자 편리성을 확보하였다. 그 결과 본 논 문에서 개발한 시스템은, 기존의 일방적인 화면시청에서 다양한 화 각시청이 가능하여 현장에 있는 것과 같은 증감방송 서비스가 가능해지고 단순 정보제공 중심에서 상호작용 형태의 역동적인 부가 정보 제공이 가능하여 대화형 증감방송 서비스의 초기 시스템 모 델이 될 것으로 예측된다.

주요 정보통신기반 시설에 대한 분산화되고 지능화되는 침해 행위 및 위협이 급속도록 증가하고 있다. 따라서 여러 보안 제품을 연동하여 해커의 침입 탐지, 차단, 대응 및 역 추적을 위한 통합 보안 관리의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나 통합 보안 관리의 특성상 다양한 보안 제품에서 전송된 이벤트와 침입 경보의 양이 많아 분석이 어려워 서버에 부담이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 보호 도메인 정보를 초기에 에이전트에 설정하여 침입경보 중복 발생을 감소시켰다. 도메인 정보를 이용한 침입경보 감소 기법은 개발중인 통합 보안 관리 시스템과 침입경보 연관성 연구를 위해 사용된다.

최근 지식 정보화 사회에 있어서 컴퓨터 네트워크 개방화와 함께 컴퓨터 시스템의 보안 위협이 급증하였다. 또한 기본적으로 데이터 보호에 초점을 맞추고 있기 때문에 접근에 대한 제한이 없으며 응용 프로그램에 따라 보안 운영방식이 다르다는 취약점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 하드웨어 기반 보안상태 모니터링 가시화를 위하여 TCG에서 제안한 TPM 칩을 기반으로 동작하는 컴퓨팅 환경의 신뢰 상태 및 시스템 자원에 대한 상태 정보를 실시간으로 모니터링하고 분기 추적 모니터링을 통해 논리적 에러의 초기위치를 파악하여 가시화한다.

Purpose: Aspiration scintigraphy is a procedure of nuclear imaging to evaluate aspiration and of quantifying the amount of aspirate. The ultimate goal of our study is to define the correlation between aspiration and aspiration pneumonia by aspiration scintigraphy and this is a preliminary report of its trial. Materials and methods: Ten patients with positive findings by videofluoroscopy were selected. The patients ingested semi-solid food containing Tc-99m tin colloid 92.5 MBq (2.5 mCi) and images were acquired immediately after the ingestion and 3 hrs later. A fraction of aspiration to the ingested was calculated using an equation with a decay correction. Results: Five patients were interpreted positive by aspiration scintigraphy. Four patients were positive at initial images and the fractions of aspiration were 0.11%, 0.11%, 0.81%, and 0.11%. The one patient who was shown aspirated at both images had initial 5.82% and delayed 2.26%. Conclusion: Aspiration scintigraphy enables us to localize the aspiration at any desired time of the test and to quantify its amount. Follow-up studies are warranted.

The researchers of this study closely looked into the methods for cognitive-scientific approach to problems of marine design at a time when the overall values of marine cultures are acknowledged in full scale. To that end, the researchers analyzed the problems and problem-solving process for the initial approach to marine design. At the same time, the researchers made the matrix of the design-developmental directions by cognitive scientific approach. After selecting the subjects, the researchers collected verbal protocol and behavior protocol which were shown in the process of a designer's thinking. This was for the sake of protocol analysis which is the representative research technique of cognitive science. Based on the collected data, the researchers empirically analyzed the behavior patterns shown in the marine design process so as to develop the design behavior-graph pattern of designers in an objective and systematic way. The behavior graph was helpful for looking into the initial developmental directions of design and for predicting cognitive structure of designers. The researchers hope that this study will become a fundamental material for predicting cognitive directions of designer for planning and designing the marine design.

AAM(Active Appearance Model) is one of the most effective ways to detect deformable 2D objects and is a kind of mathematical optimization methods. The cost function is a convex function because it is a least-square function, but the search space is not convex space so it is not guaranteed that a local minimum is the optimal solution. That is, if the initial value does not depart from around the global minimum, it converges to a local minimum, so it is difficult to detect face contour correctly. In this study, an AAM-based face tracking algorithm is proposed, which is robust to various lighting conditions and backgrounds. Eye detection is performed using SIFT and Genetic algorithm, the information of eye are used for AAM's initial matching information. Through experiments, it is verified that the proposed AAM-based face tracking method is more robust with respect to pose and background of face than the conventional basic AAM-based face tracking method.

In the initial stage of the communications between a base station and a satellite transponder, the base station transmits the frequency-sweeping un-modulated up-link carrier within a certain frequency range to acquire the doppler frequency shift and signal power between the base station and the satellite in orbital flight. The satellite transponder acquires and tracks the carrier in order to initialize the communication. To control such initialization process, the satellite receiver should analyze the input carrier signal in various ways. This paper presents an SNR estimation algorithm to control the initialization process. The proposed algorithm converts the input signal into the baseband polar coordinate representation and estimates the SNR via the statistics of the angular signal components as well as the status parameters to control the receiver. The Monte-Carlo simulations shows the validity of the estimation proposed.

In rehabilitation where ultrasonographic diagnosis is not popular, it could be subjective by medical expert's experience. Thus, it is necessary to develop an objective automative procedure in ultrasonic image analysis. A disadvantage of existing automative analytic procedure in musculoskeletal system is to designate an incorrect muscle area when the figure of fascia is vague. In this study, we propose a new procedure to extract more accurate muscle area in abdomen ultrasonic image for that purpose. After removing unnecessary noise from input image, we apply End-in Search algorithm to enhance the contrast between fascia and muscle area. Then after extracting initial muscle area by Up-Down search, we trace the fascia area with a mask based on morphological and directional information. By this tracing of mask movements, we can emphasize the fascia area to extract more accurate muscle area in result. This new procedure is proven to be more effective than existing methods in experiment using convex ultrasound images that are used in real world rehabilitation diagnosis.

This essay examines the questions that existing high-teen related studies are missing: "What is high-teen?". It is a foreign language originated from Japanese, spoken only in Japan and Korea among the post-war pan East Asian pop culture scenes. High-teen is based on the 'teenager' formed in the United States. It should be understood not just as a subcategory of popular culture but as an important ideological allegory of post-war Japanese politics. To learn this concept, this essay archeologically researches the origin of high-teen's meaning and analyses the political meaning of the early high-teen contents of Ueda Hirao which related to postwar politics and ideology in Japan. Existing research regarding high-teen tends to be limited to the peripheral and fragmentary areas. On the other hand, this paper will be the beginning of a discussion on high-teen in a more expanding perspective as an East Asian postwar history.
