Moire artifact는 미세병변과 주파수 대역이 중첩되기 때문에 moire artifact를 제거하는 Image processing software를 사용할 경우 미세 병변의 손실을 가져올 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 SD(Sprague Dawley) Rat에 microcalcification과 microfracture와 같은 미세병변을 임의로 형성하여 영상화하고, reference 영상과 grid suppression software를 사용한 영상, optimizied grid 영상을 비교 분석하였다. 영상은 두 명의 영상의학과 전문의가 컨소시엄을 형성하여 판독하였고, 판독 결과 값은 McNemar's test 이용하여 평가하였다. 73개의 microcalcifications 중 Grid suppression후 13 cases에서, optimized grid를 사용한 영상은 3 cases에서 영상의 손실이 확인되어 Grid suppression후의 영상이 통계적으로 유의하게 영상 손실을 발생하고 있음을 보여주고 있다(p=0.021). 총 53개의 fracture line은 Grid suppression을 시행한 후 영상에서 19 cases가 영상의 손실을 보였고, optimized grid를 사용한 영상에서는 영상손실이 없는 것으로 판독되었다. 따라서 미세병변을 진단하는 영상에 있어 moire artifact를 제거하기 위한 grid suppression software 사용은 신중하게 고려되어야 할 것이다.

In this paper a new structured grid generation technique is introduced. This new technique utilizes predictor-corrector approach, and is a marching scheme in the global sense as the hyperbolic scheme is. In the predictor step, one layer of grid cells is obtained by using Modified Advancing Front Method which generates a collection of quadrilateral cells simultaneously. In the corrector step, the layer of grid cells that is calculated in the predictor step is adjusted by solving Laplace equations to prevent grid lines from skewing and overlapping in highly curved configurations. It is shown that the resultant algorithm, named a MAP scheme, which combines the Modified Advancing Front Method as a Predictor with an elliptic scheme as a corrector can be used to generate globally smooth and locally near-orthogonal grids for external flow fields even for highly curved configurations. Examples of grid generations for external flow fields about several configurations by use of the present approach are given, and its applicability and flexibility have been demonstrated and discussed.

The purpose of this study is to develop a grid based model for calculating the critical nonpoint source (NPS) pollution load (BOD, TN, TP) in Nak-dong area in South Korea. In the last two decades, NPS pollution has become a topic for research that resulted in the development of numerous modeling techniques. Watershed researchers need to be able to emphasis on the characterization of water quality, including NPS pollution loads estimates. Geographic Information System (GIS) has been designed for the assessment of NPS pollution in a watershed. It uses different data such as DEM, precipitation, stream network, discharge, and land use data sets and utilizes a grid representation of a watershed for the approximation of average annual pollution loads and concentrations. The difficulty in traditional NPS modeling is the problem of identifying sources and quantifying the loads. This research is intended to investigate the correlation of NPS pollution concentrations with land uses in a watershed by calculating Expected Mean Concentrations (EMC). This work was accomplished using a grid based modelling technique that encompasses three stages. The first step includes estimating runoff grid by means of the precipitation grid and runoff coefficient. The second step is deriving the gird based model for calculating NPS pollution loads. The last step is validating the gird based model with traditional pollution loads calculation by applying statistical t-test method. The results on real data, illustrate the merits of the grid based modelling approach. Therefore, this model investigates a method of estimating and simulating point loads along with the spatially distributed NPS pollution loads. The pollutant concentration from local runoff is supposed to be directly related to land use in the region and is not considered to vary from event to event or within areas of similar land uses. By consideration of this point, it is anticipated that a single mean estimated pollutant concentration is assigned to all land uses rather than taking into account unique concentrations for different soil types, crops, and so on.

This paper proposes an active frequency with a positive feedback in the d-q frame anti-islanding method suitable for a robust phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm using the FFT concept. In general, PLL algorithms for grid-connected PV PCS use d-q transformation and controllers to make zero an imaginary part of the transformed voltage vector. In a real grid system, the grid voltage is not ideal. It may be unbalanced, noisy and have many harmonics. For these reasons, the d-q transformed components do not have a pure DC component. The controller tuning of a PLL algorithm is difficult. The proposed PLL algorithm using the FFT concept can use the strong noise cancelation characteristics of a FFT algorithm without a PI controller. Therefore, the proposed PLL algorithm has no gain-tuning of a PI controller, and it is hardly influenced by voltage drops, phase step changes and harmonics. Islanding prediction is a necessary feature of inverter-based photovoltaic (PV) systems in order to meet the stringent standard requirements for interconnection with an electrical grid. Both passive and active anti-islanding methods exist. Typically, active methods modify a given parameter, which also affects the shape and quality of the grid injected current. In this paper, the active anti-islanding algorithm for a grid-connected PV PCS uses positive feedback control in the d-q frame. The proposed PLL and anti-islanding algorithm are implemented for a 250kW PV PCS. This system has four DC/DC converters each with a 25kW power rating. This is only one-third of the total system power. The experimental results show that the proposed PLL, anti-islanding method and topology demonstrate good performance in a 250kW PV PCS.

일반적으로 대부분의 사람들은 많은 수의 디지털 사진을 관리하기 위해서, 이벤트 혹은 날짜에 따라 각 사진들을 폴더별로 분류하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 관리해야할 사진의 개수가 수백에서 수천 장으로 증가함에 따라, 사진 관리에 많은 시간과 비용이 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 촬영 시각과 사진의 색상 차이를 이용하여, 유사한 사진들을 서로 가깝게 배치하는 2D 격자 공간 기반의 사진 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 2차원 격자 공간에 배치된 각 사진들을 계층적으로 클러스터링 함으로써, 사용자가 원하는 수준의 세부 단계별 분류 기능을 지원한다. 제안한 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해서, 배치된 사진들에 대한 시간 일관성과 사용 공간 효율성을 측정하였다.

In state-of-the-art games, characters can move in a goal-directed manner so that they can move to the goal position without colliding obstacles. Many path-finding methods have been proposed and implemented for these characters and most of them use the A* search algorithm. When .the map is represented with a regular grid of squares or a navigation mesh, it often takes a long time for the A* to search the state space because the number of cells used In the grid or the mesh increases for higher resolution. Moreover the A* search on the grid often causes a zigzag effect, which is not optimal and realistic. In this paper we propose to use visibility graphs to improve the search time by reducing the search space and to find the optimal path. We also propose a method of taking into account the size of moving characters in the phase of planning to prevent them from colliding with obstacles as they move. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the grid-based A* algorithm in terms of the search time and space and that the resulting paths are more realistic.

A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity. In the operation of a smart grid, demand side management (DSM) plays an important role in allowing customers to make informed decisions regarding their energy consumption. In addition, it helps energy providers reduce peak load demand and reshapes the load profile. In this paper, we propose a new DSM scheduling scheme that makes use of the day-ahead pricing strategy. Based on the Rubinstein-Stahl bargaining model, our pricing strategy allows consumers to make informed decisions regarding their power consumption, while reducing the peak-to-average ratio. With a simulation study, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can increase the sustainability of a smart grid and reduce overall operational costs.

In this paper we present tile results of an experimental investigation on the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber grid, polymer mortar, and carbon fiber grid reinforced plain concrete flexural members. In order to repairing and reinforcing damaged and/or deteriorated existing concrete structural members, new materials have been developed and utilized in the construction industries. But the physical and mechanical behaviors of the material are not well understood. To use the material effectively various aspects of the material must be throughly investigated analytically as well as experimentally. In this investigation we found the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber grid and polymer mortar which are directly utilized in the repair and reinforcement design of damaged or deteriorated concrete structures. In addition, we also investigate the strengthening effect of carbon fiber grid on the plain concrete flexural test specimens. It was found that the material can be used to repair and strengthen the concrete structures effectively.
