This study was designed out to develop a home health care service for nurses working in community care services. This study investigates actual conditions at welfare institutions related to health needs the demands of clients, and the state of home health care services we hope that this study will improve upon the current service system. In Korea home health care services are still developing and only new becoming a part of the health care supply system. The data was collected by recording the client home nursing assessments modified to the situation of UTMB home health agency. In this study 107 clients were selected for home care who needed care for physical and mental deficits. The study lasted from March to November of 1995 at one of the welfare service institutions in Chunchon city. The results show that those who most frequently needed care services were over 50 years old with a health deficit of 80.3%, followed by sex as women who needed care at 59.8%. 50.5% of the clients had very little education. 99.1% of the clients live with their family, and a medical diagnostic analysis reveals that 73.9% of the 5 year period of illnesses were the following : 38.8% - muscular -skeleton system disorder, 24.4% - hypertension and stroke, 25.7% sole disease of arthritis. For behavioral conditions 43.3% of the patients were without care services, 56.6% of the patients were taking treatment that 73.5% of those were taking medication. The most main complaint of patients were 22.4% of pain in the extremities, next were 16.8% of a limitation of body activities, 15.0% was lumbo-sacralgia. According to the investigator who was a senior student nurse, the following suggestions were made: 32.7% for curative medical services, 29.9% for physical exercise, 19.6% for emotional support. Consultation nursing services consisted of 67.2% for physical therapy, 11.2% for the maintaining healing, 9.4% for counseling. The patients at home, required assistance most frequently for muscular-skeleton problems under the category of physical systems (33.3%). But, on the other hand, 49.5% of the patients required care givers at home, 28.2% had a knowledge deficit, 21.0% had malnutrition, 18.4% had bad impaired communication. The character of health problems were devided into chronic disease(67.0%), accidents(I3.1%), and general disease(15.9%). 86% of the disabled client had an impairment of the physical system. Eating (86.9%) , Toileting(77.6%), and personal care showed much the same of ADL condition, the level and range of achievement of mobility, the most frequently self performed was 81.3% only in a room size area, and 40.2% were completely dependent when going out. Although there were a large number of home care services in th community at these welfare institutions, many clients needed a variety of curative services. As policy changes have gathered momentum, responsibility for the development of a more suitable program was demanded by the clients from the community.

When constructing projects such as road embankments, bridge approaches, dikes or buildings on soft, compressible soils, significant settlements may occur due to the consolidation of these soils under the superimposed loads. The compressibility of the soil skeleton of a soft clay is influenced by such factors as structure and fabric, stress path, temperature and loading rate. Although it is possible to determine appropriate relations and the corresponding material parameters in the laboratory, it is well known that sample disturbance due to stress release, temperature change and moisture content change can have a profound effect on the compressibility of a clay. The early research of Tezaghi and Casagrande has had a lasting influence on our interpretation of consolidation data. The 24 hour, incremental load, oedometer test has become, more or less, the standard procedure for determining the one-dimensional, stress-strain behavior of clays. An important notion relates to the interpretation of the data is the ore-consolidation pressure ${\sigma}_p$, which is located approximately at the break in the slope on the curve. From a practical point of view, this pressure is usually viewed as corresponding to the maximum past effective stress supported by the soil. Researchers have shown, however, that the value of ${\sigma}_p$ depends on the test procedure. furthermore, owing to sampling disturbance, the results of the laboratory consolidation test must be corrected to better capture the in-situ compressibility characteristics. The corrections apply, strictly speaking, to soils where the relation between strain and effective stress is time independent. An important assumption in Terzaghi's one-dimensional theory of consolidation is that the soil skeleton behaves elastically. On the other hand, Buisman recognized that creep deformations in settlement analysis can be important. this has led to extensions to Terzaghi's theory by various investigators, including the applicant and coworkers. The main object of this study is to suggestion the modified compression index value to predict settlements by back calculating the $C_c$ from different numerical models, which are giving best prediction settlements for multi layers including very thick soft clay.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW3)-based fully automated bone age assessment system on hand-wrist radiographs of Korean children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: Hand-wrist radiographs of 80 subjects (40 boys and 40 girls, 7-15 years of age) were collected. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by comparing the bone ages that were determined using the system with those from the reference standard produced by 2 oral and maxillofacial radiologists. Comparisons were conducted using the paired t-test and simple regression analysis. Results: The bone ages estimated with this bone age assessment system were not significantly different from those obtained with the reference standard (P>0.05) and satisfied the equivalence criterion of 0.6 years within the 95% confidence interval (-0.07 to 0.22), demonstrating excellent performance of the system. Similarly, in the comparisons of gender subgroups, no significant difference in bone age between the values produced by the system and the reference standard was observed (P>0.05 for both boys and girls). The determination coefficients obtained via regression analysis were 0.962, 0.945, and 0.952 for boys, girls, and overall, respectively (P=0.000); hence, the radiologist-determined bone ages and the system-determined bone ages were strongly correlated. Conclusion: This TW3-based system can be effectively used for bone age assessment based on hand-wrist radiographs of Korean children and adolescents.

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) which localizes the human body joints becomes a high potential for high-level applications in the field of computer vision. The main challenges of HPE in real-time are occlusion, illumination change and diversity of pose appearance. The single RGB image is fed into HPE framework in order to reduce the computation cost by using depth-independent device such as a common camera, webcam, or phone cam. However, HPE based on the single RGB is not able to solve the above challenges due to inherent characteristics of color or texture. On the other hand, depth information which is fed into HPE framework and detects the human body parts in 3D coordinates can be usefully used to solve the above challenges. However, the depth information-based HPE requires the depth-dependent device which has space constraint and is cost consuming. Especially, the result of depth information-based HPE is less reliable due to the requirement of pose initialization and less stabilization of frame tracking. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method of HPE which is robust in estimating self-occlusion. There are many human parts which can be occluded by other body parts. However, this paper focuses only on head self-occlusion. The new method is a combination of the RGB image-based HPE framework and the depth information-based HPE framework. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method by COCO Object Keypoint Similarity library. By taking an advantage of RGB image-based HPE method and depth information-based HPE method, our HPE method based on RGB-D achieved the mAP of 0.903 and mAR of 0.938. It proved that our method outperforms the RGB-based HPE and the depth-based HPE.

Centered on Kathleen Kye, a designer who conveyed messages on social issues through her dresses, and established her own identity, this study aimed to examine what theme, method of expression and inner meaning her 'statement' had, as a way of expressing a critical awareness. After reviewing discussions by Duggan G. G. as well as dictionary definitions, statement fashion design can be defined as a work or fashion shows containing a message of a designer who is free from a particular trend or consumerism in various social issues. Statement fashion designers give opposing messages on social issues through their fashion collections. As a result, research shows that contemporary statement fashion designers are expressing themes of a fashion systems, fetishism, body image, collision, environment, as well as the socially disadvantaged by appropriation, reuse, slogan, metaphorical pattern and performance. Satire, awakening, challenge and support can be derived from the inner meaning of contemporary statement fashion design. In terms of the theme, method of expression and inner meaning, this study showed that KYE collection of the designer Kathleen Kye expresses critical awareness on the modern society. Research findings reveal that KYE collection include the following themes: long-term youth unemployment, conflict collision in war or on the Internet, fetishism by youth in a get-rich-quick fever, environmental issue causing destruction of an ecosystem by decrease in bee population, school violence and the socially disadvantaged related to alienated immigrants. Also, as a method of expression themes, such as metaphorical patterns, were used. The patterns used images including a skeleton, gun, heart, rope, plaster, homeless box, bee, honeycomb, chain and a slot machine. On the other hand, the inner meaning of statement in KYE collection showed satire on social issues, awakening on social issues unrecognized by the masses, and support for the socially disadvantaged.

필기체 문자 인식은 온라인 필기체 문자 인식과 오프라인 필기체 문자 인식으로 나누어진다. 온라인 필기체 문자 인식은 타블렛과 같은 펜 기반의 전자식 입력 장치를 이용하여 필기의 순서와 획의 위치와 같은 동적인 필기 정보를 문자의 입력 시 획득할 수 있어 오프라인 필기체 문자 인식에 비해 큰 연구 성과를 이루었다. 그러나 오프라인 필기체 문자 인식은 온라인 필기체 문자 인식에서와 같이 동적인 정보를 입력받을 수 없고, 다양한 필기와 자소의 겹침이 심하며 획 사이의 잡영을 많이 가지고 있어 인식의 전처리 결과에 따라 인식 성능이 크게 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 오프라인 필기체 한글 문자 인식을 위해 문자의 동적인 정보를 포함하는 획을 효과적으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전처리 과정으로 먼저 Watershed 알고리즘을 이용하여 입력된 필기체 문자 영상의 향상 및 이진화를 수행한다. 이진화된 문자부를 변형된 Lu와 Wang의 세선화 알고리즘을 사용하여 세선화를 수행한 후 문자에서의 특징점을 추출하여 세그먼트 화소열을 추출하고, 최대 허용 오차법을 이용하여 벡터화한다. 벡터화의 수행으로 몇 개의 획이 하나의 세그먼트로 묶인 경우, 하나의 세그먼트 화소열은 2 또는 그 이상의 세그먼트 벡터로 분리된다. 추출된 세그먼트 벡터들을 완전한 획으로 재구성하기 위해서 오른손 필기 좌표계 시스템을 이용하여 벡터의 방향적인 성분을 인간의 필기 획의 방향에 알맞게 수정하고, 수정된 세그먼트 벡터의 방향성과 분기 정보를 이용하여 인접한 결합 가능한 세그먼트 벡터를 결합함으로써 문자 인식에 적합한 완전한 획으로 재구성한다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법이 필기체 한글 문자 인식에 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

최근 손등이나 손바닥, 손가락의 정맥 혈관 패턴정보를 이용하여 개인을 인증하는 기술은 훼손, 복제 및 위조가 불가능하다는 장점으로 인해 연구가 활발하게 진행 중이다. 정맥영상은 피부층과 내부 골격등에 의한 빛의 산란 및 불균일한 내부 조직 때문에 정맥 영역이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않아, 영상처리 방법을 통해 정맥 영역을 정확하게 분리하는 것이 어렵다. 특히 한 장의 영상에서도 밝기가 균일하지 않아서 지역 영역 단위로 다른 이진 임계치를 사용함으로 인해 처리시간이 오래 걸리고 혈관의 불연속면이 발생한다는 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 조명 정규화 기반의 고속 정맥 영역 추출 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구는 기존의 방법에 비해 다음과 같은 장점을 가지고 있다. 첫째, 정맥영상의 불균일한 조명을 제거하기 위해 저역통과필터를 통해 조명 성분을 취득하고 이를 통해 조명성분이 균일한 영상을 얻었다. 둘째, 조명 정규화 영상으로부터 단일 임계치를 통해 얻어진 이진 영상의 처리를 통해 혈관 경로를 추출함으로써, 처리시간을 단축하였다. 실험을 통해 기존 방법들에 비해 혈관 영역 추출 정확도가 상승하고, 처리속도가 단축된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 인체 모션 데이터를 공간적 제약이 많은 환경 속에 있는 휴머노이드의 몸체에 맞추어 리타겟팅하는 기술을 소개한다. 주어진 모션 데이터는 물체를 손으로 잡거나 장애물 사이를 피해 다니는 등의 세밀한 인터랙션을 포함하고 있다고 가정한다. 또한 휴머노이드의 관절 구조는 인체 관절 구조와 다르며 주변 환경의 모양도 원본 모션이 촬영 될 당시와 서로 다르다고 가정한다. 이러한 조건 하에서 단순히 몸체의 변화만 고려한 리타겟팅 기법을 적용한다면 원본 모션 데이터에서 나타난 인터랙션의 내용을 그대로 보존하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 모션 데이터를 휴머노이드 몸체에 맞게 리타겟팅하는 문제와 인터랙션의 내용을 보존하는 문제를 나누어서 독립적으로 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 환경 모델과의 인터랙션은 무시하고 모션 데이터를 휴머노이드 몸체에 맞게 리타겟팅 한다. 다음, 환경 모델의 모양을 휴머노이드 모션에 부합하도록 변형하여 원본 데이터에서 나타난 인터랙션이 재현되도록 한다. 마지막으로 휴머노이드 몸체와 환경 모델 사이의 공간적 상관 관계에 대한 제약 조건을 설정하고 환경 모델은 다시 원래 모양으로 되돌린다. 보스턴 다이나믹 사의 아틀라스 로봇 모델을 사용한 실험을 통해 제시된 방법의 유용성을 검증하였다. 향후 모션 데이터 트레킹을 통한 휴머노이드 동작 제어 문제에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
