  • Edge Histogram Descriptor는 image의 edge 분포 정보를 표현하며 방향성을 가지는 Bio Image 검색에 있어 높은 검색 성능을 나타낸다. 그러나 Bio Image의 객체 분포의 특성으로 인해 지역적 edge 분포 비교는 충분한 검색 성능을 보장하지는 못한다. 본 논문에서는 특징 block을 이용한 효율적인 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. Local histogram으로부터 Global bin을 얻어 image의 대표 방향성을 선정하고 특징 block을 선정한다. 특징 block의 비교는 edge 분포와 함께 주요 객체의 위치 정보를 더하는 효과를 가진다. Bio Image의 검색 실험에서 제안 알고리즘은 향상된 검색 성능을 보여준다. 또한 Bio image 검색을 위한 descriptor 조합 연구에도 적용 가능하여 검색 효율을 기대할 수 있다.

  • On the assessment results of the non-point source pollutant removability of bio-block using waste sewage sludge, at the reactor's initial operation stage, the removal efficiency of COD was slightly unstable. However, after the reactor was stabilized, the COD removal efficiency was higher in the reactor filled with bio-blocks compared to the reactor filled with broken stones. In terms of nitrogen and phosphorus, their removal efficiency was unstable at the initial stage of the reactor operation. This phenomenon was investigated through the bio-block elution experiments. Results indicated that nitrogen and phosphorus were eluted from the bio-blocks affecting their removal at the initial operation. Furthermore, based on elution tests conducted after the dry ashing of the waste sewage sludge, part of the nitrogen and phosphorus was eluted similar to the bio-block elution test results, although considerable amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus were reduced compared to the sludge cake. Prior to the use of the waste sewage sludge bio-blocks as a filter medium to remove non-point source pollutants, a stabilization period of 10 days was required. After the stabilization process, results showed similar characteristics as general aggregates. Moreover, to use the bio-block as a filter medium for the non-point pollutant removal, the filling ratio of 75% was the most suitable as it resulted in the highest nitrogen removal efficiency after the stabilization. The results of this study suggested that waste sewage sludge can be suitably recycled as a mixed raw material for the bio-blocks, with satisfactory application as a filter medium in artificial wetlands, stormwater runoff problems, stream water pollutants to eliminate non-point source pollutants.

  • This study is a basic research on the functional performance review for the use of environmentally friendly construction materials as lapilli-bio block. The neutralization processed Mt. Backdusan and Mt. Hallasan lapilli-bio block were identified vegetation characteristics and water purification properties. As a result, the adsorption of root was more favorable, depending on the material properties of many voids Lapilli. And if the neutralization processed lapilli-bio blocks maintain a long-term immersion conditions in contaminated water was found to be expected from the improvement effect of SS, T-N and T-P. However, field trials and continuous studies are expected to be identified by the use of lapilli-bio block.

  • To investigate organoclay, high styrene resin masterbatch (HSR), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), and polystyrene (PS) as reinforcing materials for the improvement of the abrasion resistance of poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene) (SBS), SBS/organoclay nanocomposites, SBS/HSR, SBS/HIPS, and SBS/PS blends were prepared. The effect of organoclay and blends on the abrasion resistance and mechanical properties of SBS was investigated. Even though intercalations of organoclay are observed for SBS/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites and not for SBS/Cloisite 30B composites, the abrasion resistance of SBS/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites is worse than that of SBS/Cloisite 30B composites. When SBS was blended with HSR, HIPS and PS, the abrasion resistance of the blends increases with increasing of HSR, HIPS and PS content from 0 to 20 wt%.

  • Specialists diagnose skin cancer using a dermatoscopy to detect skin cancer as early as possible, but it is difficult to determine accurate skin lesions because skin lesions have various shapes. Recently, the skin lesion segmentation method using deep learning, which has shown high performance, has a problem in segmenting skin lesions because the boundary between healthy skin and skin lesions is not clear. To solve these issues, the proposed method constructs a transformer block to effectively segment the skin lesion, and constructs an edge decoder for each layer of the network to segment the skin lesion in detail. Experiment results have shown that the proposed method achieves a performance improvement of 0.041 ~ 0.071 for Dic Coefficient and 0.062 ~ 0.112 for Jaccard Index, compared with the previous method.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of nursery period and block size on seedling quality and fruit yield of paprika (Capsicum annuum L. 'Cupra'). Seeds of paprika (Capsicum annuum L., Cupra) were sown in rockwool plugs. Seedlings were transferred and grown to the rockwool block different sizes: $5{\times}5$, $7.5{\times}7.5$ and $10{\times}10cm$ at sowing after 15 days. The plants were transplanted by 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 days we planted the seeds to the rockwool slabs. Seedling growth was not influenced by block size in the 25 day old plant, since then growed poorly with increasing nursery period in the $5{\times}5cm$ block size, plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight, dry weight have no difference from $10{\times}10cm$ and $7.5{\times}7.5cm$, but leaves and leaf area were higher $10{\times}10cm$ than the $7.5{\times}7.5cm$ block size. Growth of the paprika in field 80 days after sawing did not differ from nursery period and block size below 35 days old, but decreased with increasing nursery period and decreasing block size beyond 40 days old. Flowering did not differ from nursery period and block size below 35 days, but delayed with increasing nursery period and decreasing block size beyond 40 days old. The highest yield was obtained from 30 and 35 days old, and decreased with increasing nursery period and decreasing block size beyond 40 days old.

  • The loss of mandibular continuity due to trauma, neoplasm, or infection results in major esthetic and biologic compromise. The reconstruction of the mandibular bone defect still poses a challenge to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. There have been a number of variety graft materials. Among them, free block bone graft with rigid fixation has been widely used. However, cases using free block bone grafts may lead to a marked invasion of the donor site, mal-union, and absorption of the block bone. In this respect, particulate cortical bone using a titanium mesh tray can be an effective alternative option in order to achieve a proper bone contour and good oral rehabilitation. We have developed an intraoral approach for the mandibular reconstruction method using a titanium mesh tray with autogenous particulate cortical bone graft.
