Purpose: This study evaluated differences in bone healing and remodeling among 3 implants with different surfaces: sandblasting and large-grit acid etching (SLA; IS-III $Active^{(R)}$), SLA with hydroxyapatite nanocoating (IS-III $Bioactive^{(R)}$), and SLA stored in sodium chloride solution ($SLActive^{(R)}$). Methods: The mandibular second, third, and fourth premolars of 9 dogs were extracted. After 4 weeks, 9 dogs with edentulous alveolar ridges underwent surgical placement of 3 implants bilaterally and were allowed to heal for 2, 4, or 12 weeks. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed on 54 stained slides based on the following parameters: vertical marginal bone loss at the buccal and lingual aspects of the implant (b-MBL and l-MBL, respectively), mineralized bone-to-implant contact (mBIC), osteoid-to-implant contact (OIC), total bone-to-implant contact (tBIC), mineralized bone area fraction occupied (mBAFO), osteoid area fraction occupied (OAFO), and total bone area fraction occupied (tBAFO) in the threads of the region of interest. Two-way analysis of variance (3 types of implant $surface{\times}3$ healing time periods) and additional analyses for simple effects were performed. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed across the implant surfaces for OIC, mBIC, tBIC, OAFO, and tBAFO. Statistically significant differences were observed over time for l-MBL, mBIC, tBIC, mBAFO, and tBAFO. In addition, an interaction effect between the implant surface and the healing time period was observed for mBIC, tBIC, and mBAFO. Conclusions: Our results suggest that implant surface wettability facilitates bone healing dynamics, which could be attributed to the improvement of early osseointegration. In addition, osteoblasts might become more activated with the use of HA-coated surface implants than with hydrophobic surface implants in the remodeling phase.

This paper presents a pre-processing method to facilitate the container's BIC-code recognition. We propose a network that can find ROI(Region Of Interests) containing a BIC-code region and estimate a homography matrix for warping. Taking the structure of STN(Spatial Transformer Networks), the proposed network consists of next 3 steps, ROI detection, homography matrix estimation, and warping using the homography estimated in the previous step. It contributes to improving the accuracy of BIC-code recognition by estimating ROI and matrix using the proposed network and correcting perspective distortion of ROI using the estimated matrix. For performance evaluation, five evaluators evaluated the output image as a perfect score of 5 and received an average of 4.25 points, and when visually checked, 224 out of 312 photos are accurately and perfectly corrected, containing ROI.

According to recent studies, Bayesian information criteria(BIC) is proposed to determine the structural dimension of the central subspace through sliced inverse regression(SIR) with high-dimensional predictors. The BIC may be useful in K-means clustering inverse regression(KIR) with high-dimensional predictors. However, the direct application of the BIC to KIR may be problematic, because the slicing scheme in SIR is not the same as that of KIR. In this paper, we present empirical penalty term studies of BIC in KIR to identify the most appropriate one. Numerical studies and real data analysis are presented.

본 논문은 온라인 문자 인식을 연속 밀도 HMM의 구조의 최적화 문제를 다룬다. 최적이란 최소한의 모델 파라미터를 사용하여 최소한의 오류를 허용하는 것이라고 정의할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HMM 구조의 최적화를 위해 Bayesian 모델 선택 방법론을 사용한다. 먼저 잘 알려진 BIC(Bayesian Information Criterion)을 적용해보고, 그것을 HMM의 복잡한 구조에 적합하도록 본 논문에서 제안한 HBIC(HMM-Oriented BIC)와 비교해본다. BIC는 모델의 사전 확률 분포를 추정하지 않고 다변량 정규분포라고 가정하는데 비해 HBIC는 모델의 각 파라미터로부터 사전 확률을 추정한 후 그것들을 사용함으로써 더 좋은 결과를 얻도록 한다. 실험 결과 BIC와 HBIC 둘 다 기존 방법보다 모델의 파라미터 수를 현저히 감소시킴을 확인했고, HBIC가 BIC에 비해 더 적은 수의 파라미터를 사용해도 비슷한 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다.

PURPOSE. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values have been supposed to predict implant stability. However, the relationship between ISQ values and bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC%) which is one of the predictors of implant stability is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate initial ISQ values in relation to BIC% using rabbit model. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four New Zealand white rabbits received a total of 16 implants in their tibia. Immediately after implant placement ISQ values were assessed. The measurements were repeated at the time of sacrifice of the rabbits after 4 weeks. Peri-implant bone regeneration was assessed histomorphometrically by measuring BIC% and bone volume to total volume values (bone volume %). The relationships between ISQ values and the histomorphometric output were assessed, and then, the osseointegration prediction model via the initial ISQ values was processed. RESULTS. Initial ISQ values showed significant correlation with the BIC%. The bone volume % did not show any significant association with the ISQ values. CONCLUSION. In the limitation of this study, resonance frequency analysis is a useful clinical method to predict the BIC% values and examine the implant stability.

In this paper, we proposed a verification of speaker change utilizing the KL distance based on GMM-UBM to improve the performance of conventional BIC based Speaker Change Detection(SCD). We have verified Conventional BIC-based SCD using KL-distance based SCD which is robust against difference of information volume than BIC-based SCD. And we have applied GMM-UBM to compensate asymmetric information volume. Conventional BIC-based SCD was composed of two steps. Step 1, to detect the Speaker Change Candidate Point(SCCP). SCCP is positive local maximum point of dissimilarity d. Step 2, to determine the Speaker Change Point(SCP). If ${\Delta}BIC$ of SCCP is positive, it decides to SCP. We examined verification of SCP using GMM-UBM based KL distance D. If the value of D on each SCP is higher than threshold, we accepted that point to the final SCP. In the experimental condition MDR(Missed Detection Rate) is 0, FAR(False Alarm Rate) when the threshold value of 0.028 has been improved to 60.7%.

The study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of feed additives on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility and performance of lambs fed diets containing 60% wet brewers grains (WBG). In Experiment 1, two simultaneous trials were conducted. Fifty intact ($20.2{\pm}0.8kg\;BW$) lambs were used in a feedlot trial and 10 (rumen cannulated; $32{\pm}1kg\;BW$) in a digestion trial. The pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia-N in lambs were also estimated. Lambs were randomly assigned to one of five diets: i) without additives (Con), ii) with 1% bicarbonate (Bic), iii) with 1% bentonite (Ben), iv) with 33 mg/kg monensin (Mon) and v) with 200 mg/kg fibrolityc enzymes (Enz). In Experiment 2, 120 RambouilletPelibuey intact male lambs ($19.5{\pm}1.5kg\;BW$) were used in a feedlot trial and randomly assigned to four diets: i) without additives (control), ii) with 1% Bic, iii) with 33 mg/kg Mon and iv) with 1% Bic and 33 mg/kg Mon. In Experiment 1, lambs fed diets containing Bic or Mon had significantly higher final weight, DMI, ADG than other lambs. However, apparent DM, OM, CP, NDF and ADF digestibilities and ruminal individual VFA content were similar (p>0.05) among treatments. Conversely, treatmentcollection period interaction was significant for ruminal pH and NH3. In Experiment 2, lambs fed diets containing a Bic and Mon combination had significantly higher final weight, DMI and ADG. It is concluded lambs fed Bic or Mon or Bic and Mon combination had better performance characteristics than lambs on Ben or Enz.

기존의 빈도해석에서는 자료의 정상성을 가정하며, 이에 따라 적정모형 선정 시에 $x^2$ 검정이나 PPCC(Probability Plot Correlation Coefficient)검정과 같은 적합도 검정방법을 사용한다. 하지만 자료에서 경향성이 나타나거나 평균, 분산, 매개변수 등이 시간에 따라 변하는 등의 비정상성 현상들이 관측됨에 따라 비정상성 빈도해석에 관한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 비정상성 빈도해석에서는 시간항과 같은 공변량이 포함된 매개변수를 가지는 비정상성 모형을 적용하게 되는데, 시간에 따라 매개변수가 계속 변하므로 매개변수에 따라 검정통계량이 고정되어 있는 기존의 적합도 검정방법의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 비정상성 빈도해석의 적정 모형 선정에 적용할 수 있는 방법으로 최우도 함수에 기반한 모형 평가 방법인 AIC와 BIC가 추천되고 있으며 자료길이가 충분하지 않은 경우에는 AIC 대신하여 AICc의 사용이 추천되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 극치사상을 나타내는데 적합한 분포형인 GEV분포형의 위치, 규모 매개변수를 시간항으로 나타낸 다양한 비정상성 GEV모형에 대하여 Monte-Carlo 모의실험을 통해 AICc와 BIC의 적용성을 검토하였으며, 비정상성이 관측되는 실측 자료에 적용해보았다.

Purpose: Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) is difficult to measure on micro-computed tomography (CT) because of artifacts that hinder accurate differentiation of the bone and implant. This study presents an advanced algorithm for measuring BIC in micro-CT acquisitions using a spiral scanning technique, with improved differentiation of bone and implant materials. Methods: Five sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched implants were used. Three implants were subjected to surface analysis, and 2 were inserted into a New Zealand white rabbit, with each tibia receiving 1 implant. The rabbit was sacrificed after 28 days. The en bloc specimens were subjected to spiral (SkyScan 1275, Bruker) and round (SkyScan 1172, SkyScan 1275) micro-CT scanning to evaluate differences in the images resulting from the different scanning techniques. The partial volume effect (PVE) was optimized as much as possible. BIC was measured with both round and spiral scanning on the SkyScan 1275, and the results were compared. Results: Compared with the round micro-CT scanning, the spiral scanning showed much clearer images. In addition, the PVE was optimized, which allowed accurate BIC measurements to be made. Round scanning on the SkyScan 1275 resulted in higher BIC measurements than spiral scanning on the same machine; however, the higher measurements on round scanning were confirmed to be false, and were found to be the result of artifacts in the void, rather than bone. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that spiral scanning can reduce metal artifacts, thereby allowing clear differentiation of bone and implant. Moreover, the PVE, which is a factor that inevitably hinders accurate BIC measurements, was optimized through an advanced algorithm.
