고역의 주파수 성분이 감쇠되어 선명도가 저하된 이미지나 선형 보간법에 의해 확대된 이미지의 계단모양 왜곡을 감소시킴으로써 경계선의 선명도가 저하된 이미지들을 위해 형태학적 처리(morphological processing)에 의한 이미지 윤곽선의 선명도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 블러링(blurring)된 이미지를 화소의 명암에 따라 다수개의 평판 이미지(slice image)로 나누고 각 평판 이미지에 대해 반복적인 최대/최소값 필터(min/max filter)의 적용으로 얻어진 윤곽선의 중심을 기준으로 하여 팽창(dilation)과 침식(erosion)을 수행함으로 이미지의 윤곽선에서의 명암 변화에 대한 경사도를 크게 만들고 이로써 이미지 윤곽선의 선명도를 향상시키는 방법을 사용하였으며 모의 시험결과를 통하여 고역 주파수 강조에 의한 방법에 비하여 인위적인 잡음(artifact)없이 효과적으로 선명도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

Fisheye 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 일반 영상보다 넓은 시야각을 갖는 장점으로 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 fisheye 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 어안렌즈의 곡률로 인하여 영상의 중앙 부분은 팽창되고 외곽 부분은 축소되는 방사 왜곡이 발생하기 때문에 영상을 활용함에 있어서 어려움이 있다. 이러한 방사 왜곡을 보정하기 위하여 기존 영상처리 분야에서는 렌즈의 곡률을 수학적으로 계산하여 보정하기도 하지만 이는 각각의 렌즈마다 왜곡 파라미터를 추정해야 하기 때문에, 개별적인 GT (Ground Truth) 영상이 필요하다는 제한 사항이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 렌즈의 종류마다 GT 영상을 필요로 하는 기존 기술의 제한 사항을 극복하기 위하여, fisheye 영상만을 입력으로 하여 왜곡계수를 계산하는 딥러닝 네트워크를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 단일 왜곡계수를 왜곡모델로 활용함으로써 layer 수를 크게 줄일 수 있는 경량화 네트워크를 제안한다.

국내 건축설계분야는 건설산업의 성장과 함께 양적인 팽창을 하였으나 질적인 문제에 있어서의 국제적인 경쟁력은 낮은 수준에 머물고 있다. 왜곡된 발주 시스템은 능력있는 건축사의 시장참여를 원척적으로 차단하고 있으며, 아직도 많은 설계도서가 하청을 통해 생산되고 있고, 각 분야 간의 느슨한 협업시스템으로 인해 검토되지 않은 설계도서들이 현장에서 설계도면간의 불일치나 비기능적, 비경제적인 설계를 초래함으로서 결과적으로 건설산업 전체의 경쟁력을 약화시키는 원인을 제공하고 있다. 시공업체 중심으로 고착화 되어있는 국내 건설산업의 특성도 설계나 엔지니어링업계의 발전을 저해하는 장애요인이라 할 수 있다. 이로 인해 국가 건설정책의 초점은 시공분야에 맞추어져 있고, 창조성을 바탕으로 한 고부가가치 산업인 설계나 엔지니어링 분야는 상대적으로 위축되는 상황을 초래하고 있다. 이러한 건설산업의 구도가 지속될 경우, 종국에는 설계나 엔지니어링업체가 시공업체에 종속되어 우리나라 설계분야의 전문화 및 설계 경쟁력은 상실되고 말 것이다. 대한건축사협회는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 2006년 '건축설계업 발전 종합방안 연구'를 추진하기도 하였다. 필자는 국내 건설·건축산업에 대한 거시적인 관점에서 이러한 문제점에 대한 해결방안을 제안하기 보다는 건축설계분야의 문제점 즉, 설계경쟁력 약화, 느슨한 협업시스템 그리고 이에 따른 건축설계품질의 저하를 다른 관점에서 바라보고자 한다.

Angiography and CT angiography are used widely for the examination of vascular diseases, but the diagnosis of such diseases is made mostly by the subjective judgment of the inspector. This paper proposes a method for detecting the suspicious regions of stenosis and aneurysm in the inner surfaces of 3D blood vessel models reconstructed from medical images. Initially, the 3D curve-skeletons of the blood vessel models and the contours at the nodes of the curve-skeletons were generated. Next, the 3D curve-skeletons were divided into a set of branches and the areas of normal contours of nodes located in each branch were calculated. The nodes whose contours contain suspicious regions were detected by taking into account the average area, maximum and minimum areas, and the area difference between the adjacent normal contours. The diagnosis of stenosis and aneurysm can be supported by properly visualizing the suspicious regions detected. The suspicious regions of the disease were identified by implementing and testing it using several data sets of human blood vessels, highlighting the usefulness of the proposed method.

This study was to figure out proper Formaldehyde/Urea molar ratio of UF resin with satisfactory bonding strength of plywood and properties of particleboard. The six kinds of UF resins were manufactured with F/U molar ratio 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0. The boards were made of three kinds of raw materials : Veneer, Sliver-Particle and Strand-Particle. Manufacturing condition of plywood : amount of mixing resin was 150g/$m^2$. The fourty secs/mm simple-pressing schedule in the pressure 10kgf/$m^2$ was applied for 480mm${\times}$700mm board at the temperature of $110^{\circ}C$ in a hot press. Manufacturing condition of particleboard : Target density was 0.65g/$cm^2$. The stepwise 9 minutes- multi-pressing schedule in the maximum pressure 40kgf/$cm^2$, the minimum pressure 15kgf/$cm^2$ was applied for $480mm{\times}634mm{\times}12mm$ board at the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ in a hot press. The results are as follows : I. In bonding strength, plywood which was made by F/U molar ratio 1.2 showed the highest value. Other molar ratio resin also gave the satisfied value of KS standard, 7.5kgf/$cm^2$. 2. In internal bond strength of particleboard, Sliver-Particleboard(SLPB) and Strand-Particleboard(STPB) varied respectively from 5.9kgf/$cm^2$ to 4.8kgf/$cm^2$, from 6.7kgf/$cm^2$ to 5.4kgf/$cm^2$. SLPB with F/U=1.2 and STPB with F/U=1.6 had higher IB value. Also, both SLPB and STPB showed lower IB value in F/U molar ratio 2.0 and 1.0. 3. SLPB and STPB with six kinds of UF resin respectively satisfied bending strength of KS standard 150 Type(130kgf/$cm^2$) and 200 Type(180kgf/$cm^2$). Bending strength data for both of SLPB and STPB showed little or no loss from F/U=1.8 to F/U=1.2. Also, STPB was approximately two times higher than that of SLPB. Therefore, the raw material's shape had more effect on bending strength than the FlU molar ratio. 4. F/U=1.6 and 1.4 showed the lower thickness swelling in SLPB and STPB. All of STPBs satisfied thickness swelling of KS standard, under 12%.

1. Since long time ago, it has been talked about that soaking wood into water for a long time would be profitable for the decreasing of defects such as checking, cupping and bow due to the undue-shrinking and swelling. There are, however, no any actual data providing this fact definitly, although there are some guesses that water soluble extractives might effect on this problem. On the other hand, this is a few work which has been done about the effect of water soluble extractives upon the some physical properties of wood and that it might be related to the above mentioned problem. If man does account for that whether soaking wood into water for a long time would be profitable for the decreasing of defects due to the undue-shrinking and swelling in comparison with unsoaking wood or not, it may bring a great contribution on the reasonable uses of wood. To account for the effect of water soluble extractives upon physical properties of wood, this study has been made at the wood technology laboratory, School of Forestry, Yale university, under competent guidance of Dr. F. F. Wangaard, with the following three different species which had been provided at the same laboratory. 1. Pinus strobus 2. Quercus borealis 3. Hymenaea courbaril 2. The physical properties investigated in this study are as follows. a. Equilibrium moisture content at different relative humidity conditions. b. Shrinkage value from gre condition to different relative humidity conditions and oven dry condition. c. Swelling value from oven dry condition to different relative humidity conditions. d. Specific gravity 3. In order to investigate the effect of water soluble extractives upon physical properties of wood, the experiment has been carried out with two differently treated specimens, that is, one has been treated into water and the other into sugar solution, and with controlled specimens. 4. The quantity of water soluble extractives of each species and the group of chemical compounds in the extracted liquid from each species have shown in Table 36. Between species, there is some difference in quantity of extractives and group of chemical compounds. 5. In the case of equilibrium moisture contents at different relative humidity condition, (a) Except the desorption case at 80% R. H. C. (Relative Humidity Condition), there is a definite line between untreated specimens and treated specimens that is, untreated specimens hold water more than treated specimens at the same R.H.C. (b) The specimens treated into sugar solution have shown almost the same tendency in results compared with the untreated specimens. (c) Between species, there is no any definite relation in equilibrium moisture content each other, however E. M. C. in heartwood of pine is lesser than in sapwood. This might cause from the difference of wood anatomical structure. 6. In the case of shrinkage, (a) The shrinkage value of the treated specimen into water is more than that of the untreated specimens, except anyone case of heartwood of pine at 80% R. H. C. (b) The shrinkage value of treated specimens in the sugar solution is less than that of the others and has almost the same tendency to the untreated specimens. It would mean that the penetration of some sugar into the wood can decrease the shrinkage value of wood. (c) Between species, the shrinkage value of heartwood of pine is less than sapwood of the same, shrinkage value of oak is the largest, Hymenaea is lesser than oak and more than pine. (d) Directional difference of shrinkage value through all species can also see as other all kind of species previously tested. (e) There is a definite relation in between the difference of shrinkage value of treated and untreated specimens and amount of extractives, that is, increasing extractives gives increasing the difference of shrinkage value between treated and untreated specimens. 7. In the case of swelling, (a) The swelling value of treated specimens is greater than that of the untreated specimens through all cases. (b) In comparison with the tangential direction and radial direction, the swelling value of tangential direction is larger than that of radial direction in the same species. (c) Between species, the largest one in swelling values is oak and the smallest pine heartwood, there are also a tendency that species which shrink more swell also more and, on the contrary, species which shrink lesser swell also lesser than the others. 8. In the case of specific gravity, (a) The specific gravity of the treated specimens is larger than that of untreated specimens. This reversed value between treated and untreated specimens has been resulted from the volume of specimen of oven dry condition. (b) Between species, there are differences, that is, the specific gravity of Hymenaea is the largest one and the sapwood of pine is the smallest. 9. Through this investigation, it has been concluded that soaking wood into plain water before use without any special consideration may bring more hastful results than unsoaking for use of wood. However soaking wood into the some specially provided solutions such as salt water or inorganic matter may be dissolved in it, can be profitable for the decreasing shrinkage and swelling, checking, shaking and bow etc. if soaking wood into plain water might bring the decreasing defects, it might come from even shrinking and swelling through all dimension.

The objective of this study was to optimize the freezing/thawing method of in vitro produced Hanwoo blastocysts. Day 7 blastocysts after IVF were vitrified using EFS40 (40% ethylene glycol, 18% ficoll, 0.3 M sucrose and 10% FBS added m-DPBS) as a freezing solution and electron microscope (EM) grid (V-G) or straw (V-S) as an embryo container. In both method, freezing/thawing were treated by 2-step, treatment time was required in V-G method and V-S method, for 2 min / 3 min and 3.5 min / 10 min, respectively. Embryo survival was assessed as re-expanded and hatched rates at 24 h and 48 h after warming, respectively. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: when the effect of exposure in vitrification solution and chilling injury from freezing procedure on in vitro produced expanded blastocysts were examined, at 24 h after warming, embryo survival in exposure group (100.0%) was not different compared to that in control group (100.0%), although those results were significantly different with two vitrified groups (V-G: 87.8, V-S: 77.8%) (P＜0.001). However, at 48 h after warming, hatched rates of V-G group (67.8%) were significantly higher than those of V-S group (53.3%) (P＜0.05). In addition, this hatched rate in V-G group was not different with that in exposure group (73.3%). When the effects of embryo developmental stage (early, expanded and early hatching blastocysts) and embryo container (EM grid and straw) to the in vitro survival of vitrified-warmed day 7 Hanwoo blastocysts were simultaneously examined, fast developed embryos were indicated the better resistance to freezing than delayed developed one, irrespective of embryo containers (early; 57.1 ＆ 24.4%, expanded; 84.7 ＆ 60.6%, early hatching; 91.7 ＆ 80.0%) (P＜0.001). Especially, in expanded and early hatching blastocysts, embryo survival of V-G group (67.8, 95.0%) was significantly higher than those of V-S group (53.0, 65.0%) at 48 h post warming, respectively (P＜0.05, P＜0.001). Therefore, this study indicates that Hanwoo blastocysts can be cryopreserved more simple, efficient and successful by vitrification method using EM grid.

The crystal structure of biotite-1M from Bancroft, Ontario, was determined by Rietveld refinement method using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data at -26.3$^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$, 30$0^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, 90$0^{\circ}C$. The crystal structure has been refined to a R sub(B) of 5.06%-11.9% and S (Goodness of fitness) of 2.97-3.94. The expansion rate of a, b, c unit cell dimensions with elevated temperature linearly increase to $600^{\circ}C$. The expansivity of the c dimension is $1.61{\times}10^{40}C^{-1}$, while $2.73{\times}10^{50}C^{-1}$ and $5.71{\times}10^{-50}C^{-1}$ for the a and b dimensions, respectively. Thus, the volume increase of the unit cell is dominated by expansion of the c axis as increasing temperature. In contrast to the trend, the expansivity of the dimensions is decreased at 90$0^{\circ}C$. It may be attributed to a change in cation size caused by dehydroxylation-oxidation of $Fe^{2+}$ to $Fe^{3+}$ in vacuum condition at such high temperature. The position of H-proton was determined by the refinement of diffraction pattern at low temperature (-2.63$^{\circ}C$). The position is 0.9103${\AA}$ from the O sub(4) location and located at atomic coordinates (x/a=0.138, y/b=0.5, z/c=0.305) with the OH vector almost normal to plane (001). According to the increase of the temperature, $\alpha$* (tetrahedral rotation angle), $t_{oct}$ (octahedral sheet thickness), mean distance increase except 90$0^{\circ}C$ data. But the trend is less clearly relative to unit cell dimension expansion because the expansion is dominant to the interlayer. Also, ${\Psi}$ (octahedral flattening angle) shows no trends as increasing temperature and it may be because the octahedron (M1, M2) is substituted by Mg and Fe.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the newly designed open-cell type self-expandable nitinol stent (NiTi-stent) for peripheral arteries. Materials and Methods Twenty-eight limbs of 14 minipigs were randomly assigned to the NiTistent group or conventional nitinol stent group. Stents were symmetrically implanted into the iliac arteries of each animal using carotid artery approach and were observed for 1 month (n = 5) and 6 months (n = 9). The angiographic lumen diameter (ALD), late lumen loss, angiographic stenosis, histomorphometric lumen area, neointimal area, and area stenosis were analyzed and compared between the groups. Results Stent migration, stent fracture, or thrombus formation were not observed in either group. At the 1-month follow-up, the neointimal area (p = 0.008) and area stenosis (p = 0.016) were significantly smaller in the NiTi-stent group than in the control group. At the 6-months followup, the NiTi-stent group showed significantly larger ALD (p = 0.014), less late lumen loss (p = 0.019), less angiographic stenosis (p = 0.014), larger lumen area (p = 0.040), and smaller neointimal area and area stenosis (p = 0.004 and p = 0.014, respectively) compared with the control group. Conclusion The NiTi-stent is as safe and effective as the conventional nitinol stent and induces less neointimal hyperplasia in a minipig iliac artery model.
