In this paper we present a technique for detecting cross-reference points that allows improving watermark detect-ability. In general, Harris detector is commonly used for finding salient points. Harris detector is a kind of combined corner and edge detector which is based on neighboring image data distribution, therefore it has some limitation to find accurate salient points after watermark embedding or any kinds of digital attacks. The new method proposed in this paper used not data distribution but geometrical structure of a normalized image in order to avoid pointing error caused by the distortion of image data. After normalization, we constructed pre-specified number of virtual lines from top to bottom and left to right, and several of cross points were selected by a random key. These selected points specify almost same positions with the accuracy more than that of Harris detector after digital attacks. These points were arranged by a random key, and blocks centered in these points were formed. A reference watermark is formed by a block and embedded in the next block. Because same alteration is applied to the watermark generated and embedded blocks. the detect-ability of watermark is improved even after digital attacks.

A 12-year old female Pointer was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kyungpook National University for evaluation of emaciation. The owner had noted a dysuria and dyschesia 2 months before admitting to the hospital. The patient showed anorexia, depression and mild anemia. Radiographic findings indicated the mass below the urinary bladder, which pushed the intestine up to the spine. The patient was necropsied and grossly, two large masses were found on the heart and cranial thorax. Congestive nodules of 0.5-1.5 cm in diameter were scattered on both sides of the lungs. The left ventricular wall was hypertrophied and adult heartworms were found in right atrium. A large mass, filled with blood, 9-10 cm in diameter, originated from the rectum, compressed urethra. The gall bladder was filled with bile juice and the spleen was mild atrophied. The cortex of the kidney and the intestine were congested. On microscopic observation, there were neoplastic cells forming irregular vascular channels in the lung, kidney and heart. The vascular channels contain variable amount of blood. In the lung, the cells were almost elongated and the nuclei of neoplastic cells were round or ovoid and hyperchromatized. Based on the observation, the case was diagnosed as a hemangiosarcoma.

The relative density of phytoplasmas in witches'broom (WB)-infected jujube trees was investigated using compatitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR). During dormant and defoliating seasons, the densities of phytoplasmas were about the same in roots and twigs. In early growing season, the density showed the highest rates in roots, then in twigs and in petioles. however, the density was highest in petioles and the lowest in roots during actively growing season. Throughout the year, root samples did not show any serious fluctuation compared with that of t2wigs and petioles. Density was lowest during actively growing season in root samples. In contrast, petiole sample densities varied to a great extent depending on the season, very high during actively growing season, but very low during the early growing season, In twig samples, the densities were very high and almost the same in both defoliating and dormant seasons. Among the parts of the trees, phytoplsma density was the most stable in root samples throughout the year. The highest densities of phytoplasmas were about the same in all tree parts. These results suggest that the phytoplasmas may overwinter not only in roots but also in twigs, and that multiplication rate of phytoplsma becomes very high right after the early growing season.

Esophageal schwannoma is very rare and almost of all cases are diagnosed as esophageal submucosal tumor preoperatively. Final diagnosis is made by postoperative immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of the surgical specimen. We experienced two cases of esophageal submucosal tumor, one was 63 year old female suffering from three months of dysphagia and another was 39 year old female complaining of two months of intermittent dysphagia. Two esophageal tumors were completely removed by esophagectomy and enucleation through right thoracotomy respectively. Postoperative IHC staining demonstrated S-100 positive without mitotic figures and confirmative diagnosed was made as benign esopphageal schwannoma.

The aims of mathematical education are to improve uniformity and rigidity, and to apply to an information age which our society demands. One of the educational aims in the 6th educational curriculum emphasizes on the expansion of mathematical thought and utility, But, The change of contents in the text appears little. This means that mathematical teachers must actively develop the new types of problems. That the interests and concerns about mathematics lose the popularity and students recognize mathematics burdensome is the problems of not only teaching method, unrealistically given problems but abstractiveness and conceptions. Mathematical Modeling is classified exact model, almost exact theory based model and impressive model in accordance with the realistic situation and its equivalent degree of mathematical modeling. Mathematical Modeling is divided into normative model and descriptive model according to contributed roles of mathematics. The Modeling Applied Problems in the present text are exact model and stereotyped problems. That the expansion of mathematical thought in mathematics teaching fell into insignificance appears well in the result of evaluating students. For example, regardless of easy or hard problems, students tend to dislike the new types of mathematical problems which students can solve with simple thought and calculation. The ratings of the right answer tend to remarkably go down. If mathematical teachers entirely treat present situation, and social and scientific situation, students can expand the systematic thought and use the knowledge which is taught in the class. Through these abilities of solving problems, students can cultivate their general thought and systematic thought. So it is absolutely necessary for students to learn the Modeling Applied Problems.

This paper proposed PID controller for torch slider and PD controller for motor right wheel. to control the motion of two-wheeled welding mobile robot with seam tracking sensor touched on welding line. The motion control is realized in the view of keeping constant welding velocity and precise seam tracking even though the target welding line is on straight line or curved line. The position and direction of the body of the mottle robot are controlled by using signal errors between seam tracking sensor and body positioning sensor attached on the end of torch slider and body side of the mobile robot, respectively. In turning motion, the body and the torch slider are controlled by using the kinematic model related with two motions of body turning and torch sliding. The straight locomotion is controlled according to eleven control patterns obtained from displacements between two sensors of the seam tracking sensor and the body positioning sensor. The effectiveness is proven through the experimental results fur lattice type welding line. Through the experimental results, we can see that the position value of the electrode end point and the welding velocity are controlled almost constantly both in straight and turning locomotion.

A responsibility of superior management in an airline has become enormous due to rapid increase of airline's organization and its network. Even though a leadership of superior management is believed to be an important factor, it is almost impossible for management to be responsible for all the areas of an airline organization. This is why leadership should be go down to working level people. Self-leadership means that working level people possess leadership, delegated by their superior persons, and improve their work environment with the leadership as well as related right and responsibility. This paper has tried to find out the components of self-leadership perceived by foreign cabin crews and analyzed the impact of self leadership into airline's organizational effectiveness. Based on empirical research results, this paper would suggest administrative and operational implications of managing foreign cabin crews in K-airline. It was found out foreign cabin crews perceive that self reward and self evaluation have a positive impact on self observation factor. The self observation factor has a significant effect on self goal. The self goal is analyzed as a major factor which results in organizational effectiveness.

Acute epidural hematoma (AEDH) occurring as a result of traumatic head injury constitutes one of the most critical emergencies in neurosurgery. However, there are only several reports that show the rapid disappearance of AEDH without surgical intervention. We suggest redistribution of hematoma through the overlying skull fractures as the mechanism of rapid disappearance of AEDH. A 13-year-old female fell from a height of about 2 m and presented with mild headache. A computed tomography (CT) scan performed 4 hours after the injury revealed an AEDH with an overlying fracture in the right temporal region and acute small hemorrhagic contusion in the left frontal region. A repeat CT scan 16 hours after injury revealed that the AEDH had almost completely disappeared and showed an increase in the epicranial hematoma. The patient was discharged 10 days after injury with no neurological deficits. This case is characterized by the rapid disappearance of an AEDH associated with an overlying skull fracture. We believe that the rapid disappearance of the AEDH is due to the redistribution of the hematoma, rather than its resolution or absorption, and fracture plays a key role in this process.

Four microalloyed steels containing B were investigated in terms of hardenability, mechanical properties and microstructure depending upon the cooling rates in order to develop the steel grade for the cold forged fasners. The alloy with the largest DI value among 4 alloys, which contains $0.12\%\;C,\;1.54\%\;Mn,\;0.65\%\;Cr,\;0.11\%V,\;0.040\%Ti\;and\;0.0033\%B$, showed the larest shift to the right hand side in the TTT diagram, implying the wide allowable cooling rate range subsequent to hot rolling in long bar processing, Mechanical tests indicated that yield strength are dependent upon the DI value in water quenched specimens but other properties showed almost the same values. In the same grade of steel, the increase in cooling rates causes the decrease in elongation but the increase in strength, reduction of area and Charpy impact values. Microstructural examination in steel grade with the larest DI values revealed martensitic structure In the water quenched state, a mixture of martensite and bainite in the oil quenched, and ferrite + pearlite in the air cooled and the forced air cooled but the latter showed finer microstructure.

In an attempt to recognize attitudes of teachers and general public toward mental health, III teachers of middle and high school and 130 general public were selected for this study from September 6, 1975 to October 18, 1975. Date were collected through "Mental Health Questionnaire"designed by Nounally. Results of the study were as follows : 1. The selected teacher group and general public group revealed almost similar altitudes toward psychotic patients, that is, positive aspects for employment problems and relationship toward other persons. 2. Both teacher group and general public group revealed the same attitudes toward neurotic patients, felt relatively more reliance on them, and showed much more positive attitudes toward neurotic patients than psychotic patients. 3. Both groups indicated that, for the security of mental health, It is best way to show him the right path and make sure that he follows it. As to mental health, most of the selective subjects consulted with psychiatrist about the problems and obtained the information through books. 4. Both teacher group and general public group identified mental illness being equal in seriousness to alcoholism or cardiac disease. In case of a close relative living in their home having mental disease, most of them responded to be glad to help him. 5. Both teacher group and general public group revealed intensively negative attitudes toward mental hospital in order of despair. danger, and filth, while positive attitudes toward psychiatrist.
