Because the satellite imagery can detect the radiative heat from the surface using the thermal IR (TIR) channel, there have been many efforts to verify the relationship between the land surface temperature (LST) and urban heat island. However, the relationship between geomorphological characteristics like surface aspects and LST is relatively less studied. Therefore, the geomorphological elements, for example, surface aspects and surface slopes, are considered to evaluate their effects on the change of the surface temperature distribution using the Landsat 7 ETM+ TIR channel and the possibility of the image to detect anthropogenic heat from the surface. We found that the surface aspect is ignorable but the surface slope with the sun elevation influences on the surface temperature distribution. Also, the radiative heat from the surface to the atmosphere could not be accurately recorded by the satellite image due to the surface slope but the slope correction process used in this study could correct the surface temperature under slope condition and the slope correction, in fact, was not influenced on the average temperature of the surface. The possibility of the anthropogenic heat detection from the surface from the satellite imagery was verified as well.

Surface renewable nano-$RuO_2$/poly(methyl methacrylate) polymeric composite pH electrodes were prepared. The composite electrode with 53 wt% of nano-$RuO_2$ showed similar good response characteristics to nano-$IrO_2$ composite electrode reported earlier. It showed response slope of -58.7 mV/pH, response time of <1 s, surface renewability of $-57.0{\pm}0.3mV/pH$ (n=5) and long time stability for a month as well as low interferences but high interferences by electrochemically active species like $I^-$ and $Fe(CN){_6}^{3-}$. However, the response slope and time became worse at higher pH than 9 compared to those of nano-$IrO_2$ composite electrodes possibly due to the difference of physical properties resulting from higher content of nano-$RuO_2$ in polymeric composite matrix.

This study investigates the effect of site class, post-yield stiffness ratio, damping ratio, yield-strength reduction factor, and natural period on inelastic displacement ratio of bilinear SDF systems located at the sites classified as NEHRP site class B,C,D. The previous studies developed inelastic displacement ratio using equal displacement rule in the intermediate and long period range. But, this approximation overestimates the inelastic displacement ratio. Furthermore, inelastic displacement ratio has not been developed for the systems having a damping ratio less than 5%. This study conducts nonlinear regression analysis for proposing equations for calculating median and deviation of the inelastic displacement ratio of the bilinear SDOF system having damping ratios ranging from 0 to 20%. Using median and deviation of the inelastic displacement ratio, probabilistic inelastic displacement ratio is estimated, which can be used for performance-based seismic evaluation.

In this paper, we implement a real-time textile dimension inspection system. It can detect various types of real defects which determine the quality of fabric product, defect positions of textile, classify the distortion angel of moving textile and the density. In the implemented system, we measure the density of textile using zone-crossing method with optical lens to solve the noise and real-time problems. And we compensate distortion angel of textile with the classification of distortion types using gaussian gradient and mean gradient features. And also, it detecs real defects of textile and its positions using gray level co-occurrence matrix features. The implemented texile demension inspection systemcan inspect textile dimensions such as density, distortion angle, defect of textile and defect position at real-time.

The objective of this study is to propose a reliable stress-strain model in compression for lightweight concrete using bottom ash aggregates and air foam(LWC-BF). The slopes of the ascending and descending branches in the fundamental equation form generalized by Yang et al. were determined from the regression analyses of different data sets(including the modulus of elasticity and strains at the peak stress and 50% peak stress at the post-peak performance) obtained from 9 LWC-BF mixtures. The proposed model exhibits a good agreement with test results, revealing that the initial slope decreases whereas the decreasing rate in the stress at the descending branch increases with the increase in foam content. The mean and standard deviation of the normalized root-square mean errors calculated from the comparisons of experimental and predicted stress-strain curves are 0.19 and 0.08, respectively, for the proposed model, which indicates significant lower values when compared with those(1.23 and 0.47, respectively) calculated using fib 2010 model.

상완동맥은 어깨에서부터 팔꿈치까지 내려오는 상완골의 내측부에 존재하며 혈압을 측정할 때 사용되는 혈관이다. 이 혈관은 골절로 인해 찢어지거나, 또는 혈액순환에 문제가 생겨 혈관이 막히는 경우가 발생한다. 이러한 경우 혈관의 상태를 확인하기 위하여 색조 도플러 초음파 검사를 사용하지만, 사용자에 따라 영상을 통한 판단 기준이 다르다는 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 FCM과 Fuzzy Decision Tree를 이용한 영상 처리를 통해 일관성 있는 판단기준을 세우기 위한 혈류의 속도를 제안한다. 색조 도플러 초음파 영상에서의 상완 동맥을 추출하여 기울기를 이용한 FCM 알고리즘을 통해 소속도를 추출한 뒤 퍼지 룰에 적용하여 의사 결정 트리로 등급을 분류하고 결과적으로 혈류 속도를 추출한다. 색조 도플러 초음파 영상에서 환자의 개인 정보를 보호하기 위해 개인 정보 영역을 제거하여 ROI 영역을 추출하고 ROI 영역을 이진화를 통하여 상완동맥이 있는 영역을 추출한다. 이진화 된 ROI 영역에서 혈관 영상의 혈류 방향으로의 무게중심을 설정하고 각각의 픽셀과 무게중심 선과의 거리를 이용하여 소속도를 추출한 후 FCM을 사용하여 최적의 기울기를 선정한다. FCM을 통해 추출한 최종 소속도를 이용하여 퍼지 룰에 적용한 뒤 계산된 T-norm과 소속도의 분산을 이용하여 의사 결정 트리를 형성 트리의 단말 노드들은 각 픽셀을 분류한다. 분류되어진 데이터들의 노드별 소속도 평균을 구한 뒤 디퍼지화를 통해 COG(Center of Gravity)를 계산한다. 마지막으로 그 값을 이용하여 혈류 속도에 영향을 미치는 정도를 계산한 뒤 최종 혈류의 속도를 제안한다.

OpenGL compute shader is a shader stage that operate differently from other shader stage and it can be used for the calculating purpose of any data in parallel. This paper proposes a GPU-based parallel algorithm for computing sparse linear systems through conjugate gradient using an iterative method, which perform calculation on OpenGL compute shader. Basically, this sparse linear solver is used to solve large linear systems such as symmetric positive definite matrix. Four well-known matrix formats (Dense, COO, ELL and CSR) have been used for matrix storage. The performance comparison from our experimental tests using eight sparse matrices shows that GPU-based linear solving system much faster than CPU-based linear solving system with the best average computing time 0.64ms in GPU-based and 15.37ms in CPU-based.

The noise component of electrocardiogram is not distributed in a certain frequency band. It is expressed in various types of signals by rater's physical and environmental conditions. Particularly, since the baseline wander is occurred by the mixture of the original signal and 0 ~ 2 [Hz] range of the frequency components according to muscle constraction of part attaching to an electrode and respiration rythm, it makes the ECG signal analysis difficult. Several methods have been proposed to eliminate the wandering effectually. However, they have some problems. In some methods, the high processing time is required due to the computational complexity, while in other cases ECG signal morphology can be distorted. This paper suggests a simple and effective algorithm that eliminates baseline wander with low computational complexity and without distorting signal morphology. First, the algorithm detects and segments a baseline wandering interval using slope analysis and curve point detection, second, approximates the wandering in the interval as a sinusoid, and then subtracts the sinusoid from signal. Finally, ecg signals without baseline wander are obtained. In order to evaluate the performance of the algorithm, several ECG signals with baseline wandering in MIT/BIH ECG database 101, 111, 113, 234 record were chosen and applied to the algorithm. It is found that the algorithm removes baseline wanders effectively without significant morphological distortion.
