Upper limb muscle variations can be encountered on imaging or at surgery. We report an unusual muscle and band found during routine dissection of the arm in a cadaver. This case is described and salient literature reviewed. A band was found that traveled from the insertion of the pectoralis major tendon distally and obliquely toward the medial intermuscular septum and medical epicondyle. Fibers of the brachialis were found to interdigitate into the band. A tunnel was formed that carried the median nerve and brachial vessels. Evidence of median nerve compression was observed. We considered this an example of a pectorobrachioepicondylaris muscle. However, some can lead to clinical presentations. Although the significance of the case reported herein is not certain, signs of median nerve compression were identified. We believe that the term pectorobrachioepicondylaris bests describes the muscle reported herein and that our case represents a previously unreported variant of this muscle.

급변하는 정보 및 통신기술의 발달에 따라 멀티미디어 데이터의 효율적인 압축 기술에 관한 심층적 연구 필요성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 신호 중 음성 및 음향 신호 데이터 압축과 관련하여 웨이브렛 기반의 압축 알고리즘 구조를 설계하였다. 2-band 구조와 웨이브렛 packet 구조에서의 압축의 효율성에 대하여 조사하고, 각 구조에서 웨이브렛 기저함수로 Daubechies 웨이브렛 계수와 Coiflet 계수를 사용하여 구조에서의 효율성 및 재생오차를 조사하였다. 최종 압축은 Huffman code를 사용하여 압축율(CR) 및 재생오차(PRD)를 기존의 DCT와 비교분석하였다.

본 논문은 다중 대역 레이더 수신기의 소형화를 위한 이중 모드 주파수 혼합기를 구현하였다. 제안한 혼합기는 역병렬 다이오드(anti-parallel diode)를 이용하였고, 제어 전압 유무에 따라 기본파 혼합기 또는 부고조파 혼합기로 동작한다. 제어 전압을 인가하여 기본파 혼합기로 동작하는 경우, X-대역에서 -10 dB 변환 손실, 2.0 dBm P1dB 특성을 나타내었고, 제어 전압을 인가하지 않은 부고조파 혼합기로 동작하는 경우 K-대역에서 -10 dB 변환 손실, 2.0 dBm P1dB 특성을 나타내었다.

CT 검사는 의료 방사선 검사 중 높은 피폭 선량으로 발암의 위험성을 높일 수 있다고 보고되고 있으며, 특히 여성의 흉부 CT 검사 시 방사선에 민감한 유방에 대한 방사선 노출이 불가피하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 여성의 흉부 CT 검사 시 압박밴드 착용에 따른 선량 감소효과에 대해 평가하고, 검사 시 노출되는 유효선량에 기인한 생애 암 발생 위험도를 추정하였다. 그 결과 압박밴드 사용 시 흉부 외부 둘레가 작아짐에 따른 실효 관전류량이 감소되었으며, 이로 인해 CT 선량지수와 유효선량 또한 감소된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 흉부 CT 검사에 의한 생애 암 발생 위험도는 압박밴드 착용 시 30대 여성 기준으로 모든 암에서 10만명 당 3.2명, 고형암에서 10만명 당 0.2명, 유방암에서 10만명 당 0.8명 정도의 암 발생 위험도를 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 추후 CT 검사 시 적절한 검사 조건 사용과 더불어 압박밴드와 같은 선량 최적화 방안을 통해 암 발생 위험을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in blood velocity(mm/sec) when compression and/or heat were applied to the knee joint for the elderly who has both normal and painful legs with osteoarthritis(OA). Experimental compression knee band was prepared from the 3D knee data of the average women in 60's. 3D replica of knee was reduced by 7, 10, and 13% from the nude pattern in course direction. Clothing pressure was measured at the front and back of each healthy and painful knee of elderly women for one minute while standing and sitting on the chair. Blood velocity was measured at 13 cm upper from the mid-patella for 15 minutes. Results are as follows: first, compression or heating treatment itself did not change blood velocity of both legs; second, combination treatment with heating and compression was effective to increase blood velocity. In details, for healthy legs, combination treatments with compression by 10% reduced pattern(about 1.3kPa) and heating($43^{\circ}C$) induced the maximal blood velocity, however, for knees with OA, 7% reduced pattern(about 1.0kPa) with simultaneous heating($43^{\circ}C$) was more effective than other cases. These results indicated that pain and spasticity of knee joint with OA could be reduced by applying heat and compression therapy, where the compression level of painful knee should be slightly lower than of healthy leg.

Shear wave velocities of three selected sandy soils subject to drained triaxial compression test were continuously measured using the bender elements. The shear wave velocity during isotropic compression, as widely recognized, increased as confining pressure increased and they were correlated well. However, during drained shearing, the mean effective stress could no further provide a suitable correlation. The shear wave velocity during this stage was almost constant with respect to the mean effective stress. The vertical stress was found to be more favorable at this stage (since confining stress was kept constant). When sample was attained its peak stress, the shear wave velocity reduced and deviated from the previously existed trend line. This was probably caused by the non-uniformity induced by the formation of shear band. Subsequently, void ratios computed based on external measurements could not provide reasonable fitting to the initial stage of post-peak shear wave velocity. At very large strain levels after shear band formation, the digital images revealed that sample may internally re-arrange itself to be in a more uniform loose stage. This final stage void ratio estimated based on the proposed correlation derived during pre-peak state was close to the value of the maximum void ratio.

Aiming at the poor compression quality of traditional image compression coding (ICC) algorithm, a multi-description ICC algorithm based on depth learning is put forward in this study. In this study, first an image compression algorithm was designed based on multi-description coding theory. Image compression samples were collected, and the measurement matrix was calculated. Then, it processed the multi-description ICC sample set by using the convolutional self-coding neural system in depth learning. Compressing the wavelet coefficients after coding and synthesizing the multi-description image band sparse matrix obtained the multi-description ICC sequence. Averaging the multi-description image coding data in accordance with the effective single point's position could finally realize the compression coding of multi-description images. According to experimental results, the designed algorithm consumes less time for image compression, and exhibits better image compression quality and better image reconstruction effect.

A combined DWT and DCT based watermarking technique of low frequency watermarking with weighted correction is proposed. The DWT has excellent spatial localization, frequency spread and multi-resolution characteristics, which are similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system (HVS). The DCT based watermarking techniques offer compression while DWT based watermarking techniques offer scalability. These desirable properties are used in this combined watermarking technique. In the proposed method watermark bits are embedded in the low frequency band of each DCT block of selected DWT sub-band. The weighted correction is also used to improve the imperceptibility. The extracting procedure reverses the embedding operations without the reference of the original image. Compared with the similar approach by DCT based approach and DWT based approach, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm apparently preserves superiori mage quality and robustness under various attacks such as JPEG compression, cropping, sharping, contrast adjustments and so on.

DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 기반 동영상 압축 기법은 블록화 현상과 해상도 변화 시 픽셀의 손상이 생기는 단점이 있다. DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)을 기반한 기법은 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있다. Wavelet을 기반한 동영상 부호화 기법 중 하나인 SAMCoW(Scalable Adaptive Motion Compensation Wavelet)에서 화면내 부호화와 움직임 보상된 오차 영상은 EZW(Embedded Zerotree Wavelet) 부호화 방식으로 부호화한다. 그러나 움직임 보상된 오차 영상의 wavelet 변환 계수의 특성은 정지 영상의 wavelet 변환 계수의 특성과는 다르다. 신호의 에너지는 대부분의 정지 영상의 경우와는 달리 저주파 대역에 집중되지 않고 오히려 모든 주파수 대역에 고르게 분포한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특성을 이용한 새로운 동영상 부호화 방식을 제안하였다. EZW 부호화 대신 고주파 성분이 많이 포함된 영상의 부호화에 효율적이며 계수사이의 대역별 상관관계에 의존하지 않는 공간 부호화를 화면내 부호화와 화면간 부호화에 적용하였다. 공간 부호화는 EZW와는 달리 wavelet 분해를 통해 얻어진 각 대역을 대역간의 상관 관계를 이용하지 않으면서 각 대역내의 중요 계수의 존재 여부와 위치를 점진적으로 부호화하는 기법이다. Wavelet 기반 동영상 부호화에 EZW 부호화 대신 공간 부호화를 적용하였을 때 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.
