A virtual reality system must provide participants with a natural interaction, a sufficient immersion, and mostly, realistic images. To achieve this, it is crucial to provide a fast and uniform rendering speed regardless of the complexity of virtual worlds, or the complexity of simulation. In this paper, a virtual reality system which offers an improved rendering performance for complex virtual reality applications has been designed and implemented. The key idea of the proposed system is to exploit the multi-thread scheme in system module design, and execute each modules in parallel. Taking such design approach, rendering, simulation, and interaction can be executed independently. Hence, in applications where a simulation is complex or a scene is very large, this system can provide a more uniform and faster frame rates. The proposed method has been experimented under the various application environments in which scenes and simulations are very complex.

After the modern age, the rapid urbanizationhad a big impact on the then architecture. R. Venturi and A. Rossi are two of the leading architects, developing architecture in cities in the US and Europe respectively. This study shed light on a tangible and intangible meaning and interpretation of urban landscapes through their architectural thoughts and architectures. The followings are the physical and intangible meaning and interpretation in architectural thoughts and works of those two architects. Venturi understood that iconological landscapes at the roadside in large citiesare the nature of physical landscapes. To Venturi, the façades of buildings at the roadside are a part of signage such as traffic lights and road signs, and those façades have the meaning of symbolic systems beyond simple physical landscapes. To A. Rossi, types of buildings as physical townscapes are a key role supporting raw data of classification in architecture. And also, those types have significance of the basic data shedding light on the principles and history of cities. For intangible factors in R. Venturi's architecture, daily routine, function and use, time, a use for a building and others form complex architecture. And also, those factors describe shared values of the same period as the façades of buildings and complex symbols and formative lexicons in metaphorical terms. For A. Rossi's intangible factors, 'collective memory' is buried in inhabitants of the city, and with that, the city is a place for memory to its inhabitants. What is more, cities' monuments have intangible landscapes like 'sustainability', 'permanence' and so on. With lots of events happening throughoutcities, those monuments are the whole images of cities giving the value to the urban buildings that reside in cities. Finally, R. Venturi's all-encompassing complex architecture concept was extended on a tangible and intangible point of townscapes. It was found that A. Rossi's tangible thought was formed from the whole landscape of historic cities in then Italy as the background of time and place. Also, With types of urban buildings and 'collective memory', A. Rossi drew architectural norms and formats of unchangeable types.

Established in the lower reaches of the Nakdong river in Busan, the Noksan national industrial complex is one of the deepest soft ground areas in Korea. In case of the costal landfill having deep soft ground, there is a significant residual settlement over a long period of time. In this study, there was observed ground subsidence occurred in the Noksan national industrial complex from September 2002 to April 2007 by applying DInSAR and SBAS time series method using RADARSAT-1 and Envisat SAR datasets. As a result, it was calculated that ground subsidence developed at the velocity of about maximum 10 cm/yr and mean 6 cm/yr at the eastern center, west, western center and southern area contiguous on the coastline of the study area during the period from September 2002 to April 2007. In addition, the RADARSAT-1 average displacement map has been compared with the total displacement map observed by accurate magnetic probe extensometer during the period from 2001 to 2002. Since the time series displacement has shown a linear trend mostly, we consider that continuous monitoring should be needed until the ground subsidence of the study area has been stabilized.

MR arthrography is a useful modality for evaluating the labrocapsular ligamentous complex(LOLC) of the shoulder. This study was performed to describe normal anatomic variations and pitfalis in image interpretation related to evaluation of the LOLC. MR Arthrogram of 56 shoulders in 41 asymptomatic young, active volunteers were prospectively reviewed to evaluate the labral shapes. capsular insertions and images which may mimic the lesions of glenohumoral instability. The anterior and posterior parts of the labra. respectively. varied in shape: triangular$(72\%,\; 36\%)$. round $(13\%,\; 35\%)$. cleaved$(8\%,\; 1\%)$. notched$(2\%,\; 0\%)$. flat$(5\%,\; 24\%)$ and absent$(0\%,\; 4\%)$. The anterior and posterior capsular insertions. respectively. varied in sites: Mosely and Oevergaard type I$(82\%,\;62\%)$, type II$(13\%,\; 3\%)$ and type III $(5\%,\; 2\%)$. A number of pitfalls in image interpretation were discovered. Articular cartilage undercutting the labrum$(29\%)$ and middle glenohumoral ligament in proximity to anterior labrum $(5\%)$ simulated a labral tear. Joint fluid interposed in the central. superior portion of the sublabral sulci$(25\%)$ simulated a SLAP lesion. Synovial fold$(38\%)$ in axillary pouch resembled a loose body. Knowledge of normal variations and pitfalls in MR arthrogram image interpretation of labral capsular - ligamentous complex will help the orthopedist to accurately detect debilitating derangements associated with the glenohumeral instability.

In this paper we present a shading technique for realistic rendering of the surfaces with irregular and complex textures using a single photograph. So far, most works have been using many photographs or special photographing equipment to render the surfaces with irregular and complex textures as well as dividing texture regions manually. We present an automatic selection method of the region segmentation techniques according to properties of materials. As our technique produces a reflectance model and the approximated Bidirectional Reflection Distribution Function(BRDF) parameters, it allows the recovery of the photometric properties of diffuse, specular, isotropic or anisotropic textured objects. Also it make it possible to present several synthetic images with novel lighting conditions and views.

Background: Previous studies have shown that if performed without radiographic guidance, the loss of resistance (LOR) technique can result in inaccurate needle placement in up to 30% of lumbar epidural blocks. To date, no study has shown the efficacy of measuring the depth of the posterior complex (ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and posterior dura) ultrasonographically to distinguish true and false LOR. Methods: 40 cervical epidural blocks were performed using the LOR technique and confirmed by epidurograms. Transverse ultrasound images of the C6/7 area were taken before each cervical epidural block, and the distances from the skin to the posterior complex, transverse process, and supraspinous ligament were measured on each ultrasound view. The number of LOR attempts was counted, and the depth of each LOR was measured with a standard ruler. Correlation of false and true positive LOR depth with ultrasonographically measured depth was also statistically analyzed. Results: 76.5% of all cases (26 out of 34) showed false positive LOR. Concordance correlation coefficients between the measured distances on ultrasound (skin to ligamentum flavum) and actual needle depth were 0.8285 on true LOR. Depth of the true positive LOR correlated with height and weight, with a mean of $5.64{\pm}1.06cm$, while the mean depth of the false positive LOR was $4.08{\pm}1.00cm$. Conclusions: Ultrasonographic measurement of the ligamentum flavum depth (or posterior complex) preceding cervical epidural block is beneficial in excluding false LOR and increasing success rates of cervical epidural blocks.

The prediction and its visualization on fish behaviour in relation to fishing gear are carried out based on field detection and observation during fishing operation. However, field observation is very difficult due to variable underwater environments and accordingly due to complex, chaotic response of fish behaviour in the physiological and ecological points. Therefore simple graphic display in previous results was not enough to represent real underwater images of the fishing gear and fish behaviour. In this study more actual visualization technique was developed using by previous fish behaviour model with chaos theory in order to predict, evaluate or analyse complex and non-linear phenomena of response patterns in complex fish behaviour. In addition, display of the fish finder was also designed to simulate the underwater fish detection and distribution in fishing ground. This suggested visualization tool was very similar to the information of the fish movement in the field observation in visual underwater reality and useful to check up between simulations and observations.

Background: The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that in patients with chronic complex sternum dehiscence, the use of muscle flap repair minimizes the occurrence of paradoxical motion of the chest wall (CWPM) when compared to sternal rewiring, eventually leading to better respiratory function and clinical outcomes during follow-up. Methods: In a propensity score matching analysis, out of 94 patients who underwent sternal reconstruction, 20 patients were selected: 10 patients underwent sternal reconstruction with bilateral pectoralis muscle flaps (group 1) and 10 underwent sternal rewiring (group 2). Eligibility criteria included the presence of hemisternum diastases associated with multiple (${\geq}$3) bone fractures and radiologic evidence of synchronous chest wall motion (CWSM). We compared radiologically assessed (volumetric computed tomography) ventilatory mechanic indices such as single lung and global vital capacity (VC), diaphragm excursion, synchronous and paradoxical chest wall motion. Results: Follow-up was 100% complete (mean $85{\pm}24months$). CWPM was inversely correlated with single lung VC (Spearman R=-0.72, p=0.0003), global VC (R=-0.51, p=0.02) and diaphragm excursion (R=-0.80, p=0.0003), whereas it proved directly correlated with dyspnea grade (Spearman R=0.51, p=0.02) and pain (R=0.59, p=0.005). Mean CWPM and single lung VC were both better in group 1, whereas there was no difference in CWSM, diaphragm excursion and global VC. Conclusion: Our study suggests that in patients with complex chronic sternal dehiscence, pectoralis muscle flap reconstruction guarantees lower CWPM and greater single-lung VC when compared with sternal rewiring and it is associated with better clinical outcomes with less pain and dyspnea.

Seven species and two varieties belonging to the genus Boehmeria Jacq. (Urticaceae) are known to be distributed in Korea. Among them, B. spicata, B. tricuspis, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis were subjected to an external morphological study. Among the individuals believed to exhibit variations in the leaf shape, B. gracilis and B. silvestrii were newly recognized. Unlike related taxa, B. gracilis has middle leaves with an elliptic, broadly elliptic, ovate, or broadly depressed ovate shape, a regular and serrulate-dentate margin, and an unlobed and short caudate or cuspidate apex. Boehmeria silvestrii has middle leaves with 5-angled ovate, orbicular ovate or broadly ovate shapes, and 3- or 5-lobed and caudate apices. Therefore, we assigned the corresponding names 'Top-geo-buk-kko-ri' and 'Cham-geo-buk-kko-ri'. Meanwhile, the B. spicata complex (B. gracilis, B. silvestrii, B. spicata, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis) is very closely related in terms of the morphological characters, whereas B. tricuspis exhibits no relationship. Furthermore, because the scientific name and type specimen of B. tricuspis var. unicuspis (Pul-geo-buk-kko-ri) are problematic, the correct name B. paraspicata Nakai and corresponding holotype are presented. Additionally, lectotypes of B. gracilis and B. silvestrii are newly designated here. A taxonomic treatment, descriptions, a key, photographs, type specimens, and leaf variation images of the B. spicata complex are provided in this study.
