Feature-based similarity has become an important research issue in multimedia database systems. The features of multimedia data are useful for discriminating between multimedia objects. the performance of conventional multidimensional data structures tends to deteriorate as the number of dimensions of feature vectors increase. The $R^{*}-Tree$ is the most successful variant of the R-Tree. In this paper, we propose a SOM-based $R^{*}-Tree$ as a new indexing method for high-dimensional feature vectors. The SOM-based $R^{*}-Tree$ combines SOM and $R^{*}-Tree$ to achieve search performance more scalable to high-dimensionalties. Self-Organizingf Maps (SOMs) provide mapping from high-dimensional feature vectors onto a two-dimensional space. The map is called a topological feature map, and preserves the mutual relationships (similarity) in the feature spaces of input data, clustering mutually similar feature vectors in neighboring nodes. Each node of the topological feature map holds a codebook vector. We experimentally compare the retrieval time cost of a SOM-based $R^{*}-Tree$ with of an SOM and $R^{*}-Tree$ using color feature vectors extracted from 40,000 images. The results show that the SOM-based $R^{*}-Tree$ outperform both the SOM and $R^{*}-Tree$ due to reduction of the number of nodes to build $R^{*}-Tree$ and retrieval time cost.

100년의 역사를 지닌 한국지질자원연구원(KIGAM)은 국내 유일의 지질자원 전문연구기관으로서 그간 생산한 조사 연구데이터는 우리나라 과학기술의 귀중한 역사적 학술적 가치가 큰 유산으로써 보존 가치가 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 현재 KIGAM의 상황은 최종성과물 위주로 자료관리가 이루어지고 있으며, 조사 연구 과정에서 생산된 암석 토양 지하수샘플이나 조사 탐사장비를 통해 얻어지는 자료는 연구자 또는 연구실 팀에서 개별적으로 관리하고 있다. 이러한 자료관리체계는 자료의 공동 활용이 어렵고, 자료를 보유하고 있는 연구자의 퇴직이나, 조직개편으로 인한 팀 실의 분리 과정에서 자료의 손실과 훼손 가능성이 높고, 누가 어디에 어떤 자료를 무슨 형태로 보관하고 있는지 찾기 어려워 자료의 재활용도가 떨어질 뿐만 아니라, 이로 인한 중복 조사 연구 가능성도 배제할 수 없다. KIGAM은 지질자원분야 국가데이터센터 구축을 목표로 연구과정에서 생산되는 연구데이터의 체계적인 관리와 공유, 활용체계 구축을 위해 2015년도에 기획사업을 통해 중장기 로드맵을 포함한 추진전략을 수립하였으며, 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)의 DataNest를 기술이전받아 지질자원 연구데이터 리포지토리 시스템(GDR: Geoscience Data Repository)를 개발하였다. GDR 시스템 개발을 위해 연구데이터 분류코드를 작성하였으며, 2016년부터 데이터관리계획(DMP: Data Management Plan)을 주요사업 연구계획서 양식에 포함시켜 제출하도록 하였다. 과거 KIGAM은 연구데이터를 수집, 관리하기 위해 몇 차례에 걸쳐 시도를 했지만 실패한 경험을 가지고 있다. 실패 요인에는 (1) 관련 정책, 제도, 조직, 인력, 예산 등 데이터 관리 인프라 부재, (2) 연구사업에서 생산된 데이터는 개인소유라는 인식 및 공유 의식 부족, (3) 데이터 관리 활동은 귀찮은 것이고, 시간 낭비라는 인식, (4) 데이터 관리 공개 공유 활동에 대한 보상체계 부재 등을 꼽을 수 있다. 즉, 제도를 포함한 인프라 부족과 경영진과 구성원의 인식부족이 제일 큰 원인으로 판단된다. 성공적인 연구데이터 관리를 위해서는 지속적이고 꾸준한 투자가 이루어져야 하지만 경영진의 의지에 따라 사업이 중단되기도 한다. 이러한 과거의 실패 요인에 대한 해결 없이 지난 1년 6개월 정도의 GDR 운영은 지지부진하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 국가차원의 제도적 뒷받침이 따라야 한다. 즉 국가 R&D 성과물 관리차원에서 연구데이터를 주요 성과물로 관리해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 연구사업계획서에 DMP를 포함시키고, 연구주제 및 분야별로 데이터센터(혹은 데이터 리포지토리)를 지정하고, 국가 R&D에서 생산되는 연구데이터를 의무적으로 제출하도록 하는 것이다. 또한 데이터센터의 안정적이고 지속적인 운영을 위해 연구사업비 항목에 데이터 관리비를 신설하여 데이터센터의 운영비로 사용하도록 하면 예산문제도 어느 정도 해결 될 수 있을 것으로 본다. 또한 데이터 제출 및 인용도에 따라 데이터 생산부서 혹은 생산자에게 평가점수를 부여하는 등 보상체계 마련을 위한 연구도 필요할 것으로 보인다. 국가 R&D 연구데이터의 수집, 관리, 공유, 활용을 제대로 성공시키려면 국가 R&D 최고정책결정자의 지속적인 관심과 지원이 필수적이다.

With the help of the nuclear computational system for a large LMFBR (KAERI-26 group cross section library/1DX/2DB), the reactivity coefficients for the diagrid expansion and the pad expansion at the beginning of cycle of the equilibrium core of SUPER-PHENIX I are calculated and reviewed. the core is described using R-Z geometry model, and a two-dimensional multigroup diffusion theory is used. For reference cases, reactivity calculations for radial and axial uniform expansion are performed, and also calculated are reactivity variations due to changes in material density and core volume. The reactivity coefficient for the diagrid expansion is calculated to be -0.553pcm/mil. The temperature coefficient corresponding to the above value is -1.0766pcm/$^{\circ}C$ and is well in accord with the French datum of -1.09pcm/$^{\circ}C$ within 1.2% difference. With the use of 4he calculational method for the diagrid expansion effect, reactivity calculations for the pad expansion bringing about nonuniform expansion are performed, which show that the calculational method is very useful in the analysis of the pad expansion effect. The reactivity coefficients for the pad expansion are calculated to be -0.2743 pcm/mil and -0.2786pcm1mi1 for the averaged expansion model and for the integrated pancake model, respectively. Under the assumption of the free expanding core the temperature reactivity coefficients for each model are obtained to be -0.5766pcm/$^{\circ}C$ and -0.5858pcm/$^{\circ}C$, both of which agree with the French datum of -0.574pcm/$^{\circ}C$ within 2% difference.

This study presents an application of hydro-mechanical coupled Particle Flow Code 3D (PFC3D) to simulation of fluid injection induced fault slip experiment conducted in Mont Terri Switzerland as a part of a task in an international research project DECOVALEX-2019. We also aimed as identifying the current limitations of the modelling method and issues for further development. A fluid flow algorithm was developed and implemented in a 3D pore-pipe network model in a 3D bonded particle assembly using PFC3D v5, and was applied to Mont Terri Step 2 minor fault activation experiment. The simulated results showed that the injected fluid migrates through the permeable fault zone and induces fault deformation, demonstrating a full hydro-mechanical coupled behavior. The simulated results were, however, partially matching with the field measurement. The simulated pressure build-up at the monitoring location showed linear and progressive increase, whereas the field measurement showed an abrupt increase associated with the fault slip We conclude that such difference between the modelling and the field test is due to the structure of the fault in the model which was represented as a combination of damage zone and core fractures. The modelled fault is likely larger in size than the real fault in Mont Terri site. Therefore, the modelled fault allows several path ways of fluid flow from the injection location to the pressure monitoring location, leading to smooth pressure build-up at the monitoring location while the injection pressure increases, and an early start of pressure decay even before the injection pressure reaches the maximum. We also conclude that the clay filling in the real fault could have acted as a fluid barrier which may have resulted in formation of fluid over-pressurization locally in the fault. Unlike the pressure result, the simulated fault deformations were matching with the field measurements. A better way of modelling a heterogeneous clay-filled fault structure with a narrow zone should be studied further to improve the applicability of the modelling method to fluid injection induced fault activation.

고휘도 고효율 백색 LED (lighting emitting diode)가 차세대 조명광원으로 급부상하고 있다. 백색 LED를 생산하기 위한 공정에서 MOCVD (유기금속화학증착)장비를 이용한 에피웨이퍼공정은 에피층과 기판의 격자상수 차이와 열팽창계수차이로 인하여 생성되는 에피결함의 문제로 기판과 GaN 박막층 사이에 완충작용을 해줄 수 있는 버퍼층 (Buffer layer)을 만든다. 그 위에 InGaN/GaN MQW (Multi Quantum Well)공정을 하여 고휘도 고효율 백색 LED를 구현 할 수 있다. 이 공정에서 기판의 온도가 불균일해지면 wafer 파장 균일도가 나빠지므로 백색 LED의 yield가 떨어진다. 균일한 기판 온도를 갖기 위한 조건으로 기판과 induction heater의 간격, 가스의 흐름, 기판의 회전, 유도가열코일의 디자인 등이 장비의 설계 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 유도가열방식의 유도가열히터를 이용하여 기판과 히터의 간격에 차이에 따른 기판 균일도 측정했고, 회전에 의한 기판의 온도분포와 자기장분포의 실험적 결과를 상용화 유체역학 코드인 CFD-ACE+의 모델링 결과와 비교 했다. 또한 가스의 inlet위치에 따른 기판의 온도 균일도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 가열원은 유도가열히터 (Viewtong, VT-180C2)를 사용했고, 가열된 흑연판 표면의 온도를 2차원적으로 평가하기 위하여 적외선 열화상 카메라 (Fluke, Ti-10)를 이용하여 온도를 측정했다. 와전류에 의한 흑연판의 가열 현상을 누출 전계의 분포로 확인하기 위하여 Tektronix사의 A6302 probe와 TM502A amplifier를 사용했다. 흑연판 위에 1 cm2 간격으로 211곳에서 유도 전류를 측정했다. 유도전류는 벡터양이므로 $E{\theta}$를 측정했으며, 이때의 측정 방향은 흑연판의 원주방향이다. 또한 자기장에 의한 유도전류의 분포를 확인하기 위하여 KANETEC사의 TM-501을 이용하여 흑연판 중심으로부터 10 mm 간격으로 자기장을 측정 했다. 저항 가열 히터를 통하여 대류에 의한 온도 균일도를 평가한 결과 gap이 3 mm일때, 평균 온도 $166.5^{\circ}C$에서 불균일도 6.5%를 얻었으며, 회전에 의한 온도 균일도 측정 결과는 2.5 RPM일 때 평균온도 $163^{\circ}C$에서 5.5%의 불균일도를 확인했다. 또한 CFD-ACE+를 이용한 모델링 결과 자기장의 분포는 중심이 높은 분포를 나타냄을 확인했고, 기판의 온도분포는 중심으로부터 55 mm되는 곳에서 300 W/m3로 가장 높은 분포를 나타냈다. 가스 inlet 위치를 흑연판 중심으로 수직, 수평 방향으로 흘려주었을 때의 불균일도는 각각 10.5%, 8.0%로 수평 방향으로 가스를 흘려주었을 때 2.5% 온도 균일도 향상을 확인했다.

In this paper, a digital image compression codec using 2D DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) is designed using the FPGA technology for real time operation The implemented image compression codec using wavelet decomposition consists of a wavelet kernel part for wavelet filtering process, a quantizer/huffman coder for quantization and huffman encoding of wavelet coefficients, a memory controller for interface with external memories, a input interface to process image pixels from A/D converter, a output interface for reconstructing huffman codes, which has irregular bit size, into 32-bit data having regular size data, a memory-kernel buffer to arrage data for real time process, a PCI interface part, and some modules for setting timing between each modules. Since the memory mapping method which converts read process of column-direction into read process of the row-direction is used, the read process in the vertical-direction wavelet decomposition is very efficiently processed. Global operation of wavelet codec is synchronized with the field signal of A/D converter. The global hardware process pipeline operation as the unit of field and each field and each field operation is classified as decomposition levels of wavelet transform. The implemented hardware used FPGA hardware resource of 11119(45%) LAB and 28352(9％) ESB in FPGA device of APEX20KC EP20k600CB652-7 and mapped into one FPGA without additional external logic. Also it can process 33 frames(66 fields) per second, so real-time image compression is possible.

In this study, the fire suppression characteristics of a water mist with natural wind in a road tunnel were calculated using the FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulation) code. In addition, the cooling and the chemical kinetic effects of water vapor on fire extinction ere investigated in a counterflow non-premixed flame using a detailed chemistry. As a result, the behavior of fire plume and the spray characteristics of water mist are modified remarkably with the increasing of wind velocity. In the case which is not the external natural wind, small droplets are more efficient in fire suppression than large droplets. However, the large droplets show better results on the fire suppression than the small droplets with the increasing of wind velocity. It can be estimated that the natural wind disturb the penetration of water droplets into the flame region and decrease the effect of oxygen dilution. Finally, it can be identified that the fire into the natural wind can be suppressed with smaller amount of $H_2O$ by flame stretching effect in the flame region than one in an enclosure, and the chemical kinetic effects of $H_2O$ on fire extinction are not affected significantly the velocity of natural wind.

Lipreading is one of the important parts of speech recognition, and several studies have been conducted to improve the performance of lipreading in lipreading systems for speech recognition. Recent studies have used method to modify the model architecture of lipreading system to improve recognition performance. Unlike previous research that improve recognition performance by modifying model architecture, we aim to improve recognition performance without any change in model architecture. In order to improve the recognition performance without modifying the model architecture, we refer to the cues used in human lipreading and set other regions such as chin and cheeks as regions of interest along with the lip region, which is the existing region of interest of lipreading systems, and compare the recognition rate of each region of interest to propose the highest performing region of interest In addition, assuming that the difference in normalization results caused by the difference in interpolation method during the process of normalizing the size of the region of interest affects the recognition performance, we interpolate the same region of interest using nearest neighbor interpolation, bilinear interpolation, and bicubic interpolation, and compare the recognition rate of each interpolation method to propose the best performing interpolation method. Each region of interest was detected by training an object detection neural network, and dynamic time warping templates were generated by normalizing each region of interest, extracting and combining features, and mapping the dimensionality reduction of the combined features into a low-dimensional space. The recognition rate was evaluated by comparing the distance between the generated dynamic time warping templates and the data mapped to the low-dimensional space. In the comparison of regions of interest, the result of the region of interest containing only the lip region showed an average recognition rate of 97.36%, which is 3.44% higher than the average recognition rate of 93.92% in the previous study, and in the comparison of interpolation methods, the bilinear interpolation method performed 97.36%, which is 14.65% higher than the nearest neighbor interpolation method and 5.55% higher than the bicubic interpolation method.

Flow through compliant tubes with linear taper in wall thickness is numerically simulated by finite element analysis. For verification of the numerical method, flow through a compliant stenotic vessel is simulated and the results are compared to the existing experimental data. Steady two-dimensional flow in a collapsible channel with initial tension is also simulated and the results are compared with numerical solutions from the literature. Computational results show that as cross-sectional area decreases with the reduction in downstream pressure, flow rate increases and reaches the maximum when the speed index (mean velocity divided by wave speed) is near the unity at the point of minimum cross-section area, indicating the flow limitation or choking (flow speed equals wave speed) in one-dimensional studies. for further reductions in downstream pressure, flow rate decreases. The flow limitation or choking consist of the main reasons of waterfall effect which occurs in the airways, capillaries of lung, and other veins. Cross-sectional narrowing is significant but localized. When the ratio of downstream-to-upstream wall thickness is 2, the area throat is located near the downstream end. As this ratio is increased to 3, the constriction moves to the upstream end of the tube.

Voxel head phantom for overcoming the limitation of mathematical phantom in depleting anatomical details was constructed and example dose calculation for BNCT was performed. The repeated structure algorithm of the general purpose Monte Carlo code, MCNP4B was applied for yokel Monte Carlo calculation. Simple binary yokel phantom and combinatorial geometry phantom composed of two materials were constructed for validating the voxel Monte Carlo calculation system. The tomographic images of VHP man provided by NLM(National Library of Medicine) were segmented and indexed to construct yokel head phantom. Comparison of doses for broad parallel gamma and neutron beams in AP and PA directions showed decrease of brain dose due to the attenuation of neutron in eye balls in case of yokel head phantom. The spherical tumor volume with diameter, 5cm was defined in the center of brain for BNCT dose calculation in which accurate 3 dimensional dose calculation is essential. As a result of BNCT dose calculation for downward neutron beam of 10keV and 40keV, the tumor dose is about doubled when boron concentration ratio between the tumor to the normal tissue is $30{\mu}g/g$ to $3{\mu}g/g$. This study established the voxel Monte Carlo calculation system and suggested the feasibility of precise dose calculation in therapeutic radiology.
