Beef carcasses were examined to explore the effects of spinal cord removal and washing on central nervous system tissue (CNST) decontamination of the surface during the slaughtering process. A total of 15 carcasses were split by sawing centrally down the vertebral column and left sides of split carcasses were used for analysis. Samples were collected by swabbing the surface from 4 defined parts on the interior and 4 on the exterior of carcasses from the abattoir and analyzed using an ELISA-based test. The results showed that automatic and manual spray washing decreased CNST contamination, especially on the interior ventral parts of carcass surfaces (p<0.01), but did not decrease CNST on the interior dorsal parts. Increasing washing time to 60 s did not affect the reduction of CNST contamination. Samples following spinal cord removal prior to splitting showed lower calculated levels of "risk material" than the stated limit of detection (0.1%) of the ELISA kit on interior and exterior carcass parts (p<0.01). Therefore, spinal cord removal prior to splitting could be a very effective way to minimize CNST contamination of beef carcasses.

In this paper, we introduce a new technology to extract the unique features from an iris image, which uses scale-space filtering. Resulting iris code can be used to develop a system for rapid and automatic human identification with high reliability and confidence levels. First, an iris part is separated from the whole image and the radius and center of the iris are evaluated. Next, the regions that have a high possibility of being noise are discriminated and the features presented in the highly detailed pattern are then extracted. In order to conserve the original signal while minimizing the effect of noise, scale-space filtering is applied. Experiments are performed using a set of 272 iris images taken from 18 persons. Test results show that the iris feature patterns of different persons are clearly discriminated from those of the same person.

A poisoning accident is often caused by a situation in which people eat poisonous mushrooms because they cannot distinguish between edible mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms. In this paper, we propose an automatic mushroom recognition system by using the convolutional neural network. We collected 1478 mushroom images of 38 species using image crawling, and used the dataset for learning the convolutional neural network. A comparison experiment using AlexNet, VGGNet, and GoogLeNet was performed using the collected datasets, and a comparison experiment using a class number expansion and a fine-tuning technique for transfer learning were performed. As a result of our experiment, we achieve 82.63% top-1 accuracy and 96.84% top-5 accuracy on test set of our dataset.

The information management system for urban planning, urban management and related decision making is increasing an importance in recent years. Especially, the information about 3D buildings in urban area is necessary for urban management related precise location based service. However, it takes a lot of time, effort, and costs to produce 3D modeling data of buildings. These problems have been found in many studies, but the research to solve these problems is still necessary. In this study, we have tested an efficient 3D modeling method of building to solve these problems. SketchUp was used to test 3D modeling methods with OSM(OpenStreetMap) data. The other 3D modeling method using a digital map was tested. The 3D modeling of building data was efficient using PlaceMaker, which can use OSM data. In addition, modeling was possible through simple editing of the digital map and automatic building generation. The efficiency of the research results is presented by comparing with the traditional method based on the regulation and the stadard man power issued by Korean government. These two 3D modeling methods of building tested through the study can be used as basic data for related research and work. Additional studies should be conducted to improve the accuracy of the building model and determine how to obtain height data efficiently.

Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) equipment is a new innovative technique for 3D automatic breast scanning, but limited for the examination in the concave axillary region. The purpose of this study was to determine feasible candidate materials for the ultrasonic wave propagation media in ABUS, enabling the evaluation of the axillary region. Ultrasonography was performed using an ABUS system ($Invenia^{TM}ABUS$, GE, USA) on the ultrasound-specific phantom (UC-551M-0.5, ATS Laboratories, USA) covered by different candidate materials. The validity of feasible candidate materials was evaluated by image quality. Three independent radiological technologists, with more than 10 years of experience, visually assessed on the images. The inter-observer agreements according to the candidate materials were tested using Cronbach's alpha. Unenveloped solidified carrageenan can be a feasible material for the use of ABUS with excellent test reliability. Therefore, the coverage of the axillary region with carrageenan may be effective for ABUS which was originally developed for the convex anatomic structure as female breast.

The harness wiring serves as an intermediary for transmitting the electrical signals necessary to drive the vehicle and is highly influenced by vehicle performance. Wire harness tester performs assembly test. Harness products are operated with the function of checking 0 and 1. Proceed to inspection in wire assembly process. There is a defect in the finished vehicle during use. We want to improve such defects. We design the FPGA and propose the measurement device design and the simulation result that the line and the line are disconnected by ADC precision harness inspection.

본 논문에서는 객관식 문항을 난이도에 따라 자동으로 생성하는 방법을 고안하여, 학습자 수준에 적합하도록 다양하고 동적인 형태로 문항 제시를 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 위해서는 주어진 문장에서 형태소 분석을 통해 키워드를 추출하고, 각 키워드에 대하여 워드넷의 계층적 특성에 따라 의미가 유사한 후보 단어를 제시한다. 의미 유사 후보 단어를 제시할 때, 워드넷에서의 어휘간 유사도 측정 방법을 사용함으로써 생성된 문항의 난이도를 사용자가 원하는 수준으로 조정할 수 있도록 하였다. 단어의 의미 유사도는 동의어를 의미하는 수준 0에서 거의 유사도를 찾을 수 없는 수준 9 까지 다양하게 제시할 수 있으며, 이를 조절함으로써 문항의 전체 난이도를 조절할 수 있다. 후보 어휘들의 의미 유사도 측정을 위해서, 본 논문에서는 두 가지 방법을 사용하여 구현하였다. 첫째는 단순히 두 어휘의 워드넷 상에서의 거리만을 고려한 것이고 둘째는 두 어휘가 워드넷에서 차지하는 비중까지 추가적으로 고려한 것이다. 이러한 방법을 통하여 실제 출제자가 기존에 출제된 문제를 토대로 보다 다양한 내용과 난이도를 가진 문제 또는 문항을 보다 쉽게 출제하게 함으로써 출제에 소요되는 비용을 줄일 수 있었다.

It is known that the adhesive interface testing of the rocket motor using the ultrasonic wave is superior to the other testing methods about the ability to economical detect the defects. But, the signal analysis of the ultrasonic wave takes a lot of time and efforts because the time interval of the transmitted pulse and the received pulse is too short to separate the reflected signals due to the multi-layers of the rocket motor. The ultrasonic testing of rocket motor have only applied to the automatic system about extremely limited areas like the debond in adhesive interface between the motor case and the insulator. In this study the new technique to detect the debond between the liner and the propellant using the property of the resonance and the lamb waves instead of the existing ultrasonic testing was described.

Today's embedded software (SW) developments are mostly preceded by composing Software Requirement Specification (SRS). In particular, in the domain of weapon systems, it is essential to have a systematic method for the verification of the SW functionality. To be more specific, it is crucial to check if the SW functionality is implemented as described in SRS, so-called SW suitability verification. Unfortunately, existing static or dynamic SW testing methods are not sufficient to evaluate suitability with SRS since those testings only verify the robustness of the SW codes. In this paper, we propose an automatic embedded SW suitability verification framework which is based on a structured SRS. The major challenge in the automation of this verification framework is how to get rid of ambiguities in SRS. In order to overcome this challenge, we propose a structured SRS description framework and the supporting toolchain for that. We show how the proposed framework is applied to an actual SRS of a weapon system.
