This paper presents and illustrates the application of a growth and yield model that supports both forest and mill side volume and value estimates. Traditional forest stand growth and yield models represent the forest landowner view of yield and economics. Predicted yields are estimates of what one would expect from a procurement cruise, and current stumpage prices are applied to investigate optimum management strategies. Optimum management regimes and rotation ages obtained from the forest side view are unlikely to be economically optimal when viewed from the mill side. The actual distribution of recoverable manufactured product and its value are highly dependent on mill technologies and configurations. Overcoming this limitation of growth and yield computer models necessitates the ability to predict and price the expected manufactured distribution of lumber, lineal meters of veneer, and tonnes of air dried pulp fiber yield. With these embedded models, users of the yield simulator can evaluate the economics of possible/feasible management regimes from both the forest and mill business sides. The simulator is a forest side model that has been modified to produce estimates of manufactured product yields by embedding models for 1) pulpwood chip size class distribution and pulp yield for any kappa number (Schultz and Matney, 2002), 2) a lumber yield and pricing model based on the Best Opening Face model developed by the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (Lewis, 1985a and Lewis, 1985b), and 3) a lineal meter veneer model derived from peeler block tests. While the model is strictly applicable to planted loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) on cutover site-prepared land in the United States (US) Gulf South, the model and computer program are adaptable to any region and forest type.

Recently, many universities have used various electronic attendance systems such as NFC, QR code, Sound-QR, Bluetooth BLE authentication, and face recognition to process attendance. However, existing methods have various problems such as attendance errors due to deformation of authentication signals, mis-recognition attendance from outside the classroom, and difficulty to process seat absence during class. Therefore, this study proposes a high-frequency signal-based electronic attendance system to solve these problems and manage more accurate electronic attendance. As the high-frequency signal replaces the BLE signal, and the transmission range of the signal is limited to the classroom, and the signal value can be immediately changed if a change of the signal is needed. To verify the performance of the proposed system, we conducted a comparative experiment with the Bluetooth based electronic attendance system, and as a result, the proposed method showed high accuracy. Thus, the proposed method will be a useful service that can be immediately used in smart device-based electronic attendance system.

This paper presents an automated visualization system, called StyleVisualizer, which checks the coding style of source codes and visualizes the coding style score using facial expression. Our system represents some kinds of facial expressions according to the evaluated score of the code style: A smile face means that the source code follows coding standards correctly. To measure the effectiveness of the StyleVisualizer, some experiments have been conducted on two class students in an applied computer course. In the experiments, we have compared the error ratio for obeying the coding standards when the StyleVisualizer was used or not. According to the experimental results, the error ratio with the StyleVisualizer was reduced above 30% than that without it. We expect that our system can encourage the students to obey the coding standards by providing the feedback of the visualized faces corresponding to their programs, resulting in high readable programs.

In this study, a geological field trip learning program using 3 Dpanorama virtual reality (PVR) techniques is developed to learn about the Chaeseokgang area located in a national park near Byeonsan-bando, Jeonbuk, Korea. The developed $360^{\circ}{\times}180^{\circ}$ PVR program can show every face of observational points and interact as zoom-in, zoom-out and image rotation. For the educational effects of the materials, it is provided with a compass, a protractor for measuring the dip of strata and observation of specimen of observational points. It also assists students to learn by providing enlarged images, pop-up windows, and expert explanation main observational points. The program is applied to the class of 35 gifted students in middle school to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The results showed that positive responses of the students were 85% or more. It is suggests that this program be used as indirect situated learning material and a solution to geological field trip problems like cost, safety, distance, and so on geological learning of middle school science.

Though South Korea has world-class volume of Venture Capital Investment, as a share of GDP, early stage venture investments are still short, and investments are concentrated in high technology area and Capital area. Because of the high barriers to entry of the new IPO and M&A market, the venture capital companies undergo difficulties in profit. High-tech ventures face difficulties in raising money from outside investors due to information asymmetry between venture investors and venture companies. To resolve these problems, developed countries's government make a co-funding investment scheme with private sectors and design incentive mechanism such as receiving knowledge of the reputable investors' joint venture. Korean central and local government can benchmark those of things. For example, the expansion of the investment volume with private sector, region-specific matching fund and venture capital's exit path diversification such as M&A through the establishment of a business venture eco-system. At the same time, venture companies are to make an efforts to enhance the ability of screening for venture companies and the value for investment activities through a joint venture investments.

In case of loss of many teeth due to dental caries or periodontal disease, improvement of masticatory function and aesthetics can be obtained through implant treatment. However, if the patient does not have a normal intercondylar relationship, it is difficult to achieve an ideal occlusal relationship with only prosthetic treatment. In particular, oral reconstruction with orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery is necessary for patients with mandibular prognathism. However, if the posterior occlusion collapses due to severe caries or periodontal disease, orthognathic surgery may be difficult. The occlusal vertical stop is very important for the stability of the mandibular position during occlusal reconstruction through orthognathic surgery. The patient in this case had posterior occlusion collapsed due to the caries of a large number of posterior teeth, and showed mandibular prognathism and long face. We planned a full arch restoration with orthognathic surgery and extracted the hopeless teeth. To secure the vertical stop required for orthognathic surgery, the implant was placed before surgery. After the orthognathic surgery and the final prosthesis application, the results were satisfactory for the improvement of the aesthetics and the restoration of the masticatory function.

Background: An inability to cope with threatening dental stimuli, i.e., sight, sound, and sensation of airotor, manifests as anxiety and behavioral management problems. Behavior modification techniques involving pre-exposure to dental equipment will give children a first-hand experience of their use, sounds, and clinical effects. The aim of this study was to compare the techniques of Tell-Show-Play-doh, a smartphone dentist game, and a conventional Tell-Show-Do method in the behavior modification of anxious children in the dental operatory. Methods: Sixty children in the age group of 4-8 years, with Frankl's behavior rating score of 2 or 3, requiring Class I and II cavity restorations were divided into three groups. The groups were Group 1: Tell-Show-Play-doh; Group 2: smartphone dentist game; and Group 3: Tell-Show-Do technique and each group comprised of 20 children. Pulse rate, Facial Image Scale (FIS), Frankl's behavior rating scale, and FLACC (Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability) behavior scales were used to quantify anxious behavior. Operator compliance was recorded through a validated questionnaire. Results: The results showed lower mean pulse rates, lower FIS and FLACC scores, higher percentage of children with Frankl's behavior rating score of 4, and better operator compliance in both the Tell-Show-Play-doh and smartphone dentist game groups than in the conventional Tell-Show-Do group. Conclusion: The Tell-Show-Play-doh and smartphone dentist game techniques are effective tools to reduce dental anxiety in pediatric patients.

The purpose of this study is to examine reproducibility of operation plan and 3-dimentional jaw movement patterns by comparing jaw position of STO with post-operative jaw position. Twenty patients with class III dental and skeletal malocclusion who were treated with Le-Fort I osteotomy and B-SSRO were reviewed. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken within two weeks before operation and two days after operation. Cephalometric radiographs were compared and analyzed with orthognathic computer program '$V-Ceph^{TM}$'. Post-operative maxillary advancement was insufficient compared to maxillary advancement through STO. Post-operative setback movement was over compared to mandibular setback movement through STO. But statistically this is not significant. Maxillary vertical location is insignificant on the whole. Especially post-operative maxillary clockwise rotation is significant compared to maxillary rotation through STO. Post-operative maxillary clockwise rotation tendency is generally observed in all patients. So surgeons and staffs must consider this tendency when operation plan is established ans operation is being performed. Using intra or extra oral marking points, face bow, and bite plate will make exact surgery possible.

South korea's education system recently expands discretion activity classes for raising self-leading learning ability based on autonomy and creativity, and also recommends students to perform diverse field trips in order to learn the contents which can be obtained only from field learning. However most schools come hard to go on a field trip because they face many difficulties such as lack of time, expense, weather, and safety. In this paper, in order to get over these difficulties we design a teaching model for field based learning activities using a virtual reality tool. And using the developed virtual reality tool, we taught 4th grade students of an elementary school located in Seoul. As a result, most of students were engaged and interested in the class and improved their academic achievement during one semester.

E-Learning is different from the traditional classroom learning and examinees can take a class individually anywhere by online. And it is difficult to proctor an examination because they also take a test by online. However the results of the online test are included in their examination scores. Therefore, it is very important to authenticate the examinees. In this paper, we propose improvement of fairness system for online test using camera. Students can take a picture after every online classes and it has been saved. And during the test, ELTS(e-Learning Test System) takes images, detects the faces, and protects from getting another person to sit for cheating. After examination, the images have been transferred with the answer sheets to the cyber school management system. And a report card will be printed out with the user's images. Moreover, it will authenticate oneself and protect the online test from cheating.
