서울시내에 소재한 여자 성인 및 여자 아동 사회복지시설 카 1개소에 수용된 성인 여자 97 명, 여아 43명을 대상으로, 서캐(머릿니 충란)의 발견율을 조사한 뒤 조사된 서캐의 보유 유무에 상관 없이 모든 대상자에게 PARATU 에어로졸(bioallethrin 0.660%, piperonyl butoxide 2.640%) 을 살포하고 참빗질을 하여 머릿니(유충 및 성충)의 발견율을 구하였으며, 12일 후에 다시 살포하고 머릿니의 구제 여부로 치료 효과를 판정하였다. 총 140명 중 서캐양성은 98명 (70.0%) 머릿니양성은 85명 (60.7%)이었다. 여 아 43명 중 서캐가 37명 (86.0%)에서, 머릿니가 37명 (86.0%)에서 발견되었고, 성인 여자 97명 중에서는 서캐가 61명 (62.9%). 머릿니가 48명(49.5%)에서 발견되어, 아동이 성인보다 서캐 및 머릿니 양성률이 높았다(p<0.01). 12일 후 다시 시행한 검사에서, 머릿니가 발견되었던 아동 37명 중 36명 (97.3%)과 성인 48명 중 46명 (95.8%)에서 머릿니가 제거되어 머릿니 구제효과는 평균 96.5%로, PARATU 에어로졸의 머릿니 구제효과는 우수한 편이었으며 사용상 우려할만한 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 여아와 성인여자간에 치료효과의 차이는 없었다. 집단생활 을 할 경우 구성원의 일부가 머릿니에 감염이 되더라도 집단전체가 쉽게 감염에 이환되는 특성이 있으므로, 이러한 특수 집단에서 머릿니를 성공적으로 구제하기 위해서는 집단 약물치료와 재감염 방지 대책을 동시에 강구해 나가야 할 것이다.

This paper suggests a navigation information display system that is based on augmented reality technology. A navigator always has to confirm the information from marine electronic navigation devices and then compare it with the view of targets outside the windows. This "head down" posture causes discomfort and sometimes near accidents such as collisions or missing objects, because he or she cannot keep an eye on the front view of the windows. Augmented reality can display both virtual and real information in a single display. Therefore, we attempted to adapt AR technology to assist navigators. To analyze the outside view of the bridge window, various computer image processing techniques are required because the sea surface has many noises that disturb computer image processing for object detection, such as waves, wakes, light reflection, and so on. In this study, we investigated an analysis module to extract navigational information from images that are captured by a CCTV camera, and we validated our prototype.

The influence of acquisition environment on music score images captured by a camera has not yet been seriously examined. All existing Optical Music Recognition (OMR) systems attempt to recognize music score images captured by a scanner under ideal conditions. Therefore, when such systems process images under the influence of distortion, different viewpoints or suboptimal illumination effects, the performance, in terms of recognition accuracy and processing time, is unacceptable for deployment in practice. In this paper, a novel, lightweight but effective approach for dealing with the issues caused by camera based music scores is proposed. Based on the staff line information, musical rules, run length code, and projection, all regions of interest are determined. Templates created from inverse filter are then used to recognize the music symbols. Therefore, all fragmentation and deformation problems, as well as missed recognition, can be overcome using the developed method. The system was evaluated on a dataset consisting of real images captured by a smartphone. The achieved recognition rate and processing time were relatively competitive with state of the art works. In addition, the system was designed to be lightweight compared with the other approaches, which mostly adopted machine learning algorithms, to allow further deployment on portable devices with limited computing resources.

Vehicle safety device such as active headrest and rear detection system has been developing as people are interested about rear end collision more than head on or than front. However, there is no any standard or criterion in order to evaluate vehicle safety device for rear end collision. Also there is no test protocol about rear end collision in vehicle experiment. Therefore, this research developed scenario for experiment about rear end collision in vehicle experiment. Also this research evaluated dangerousness about vehicle test and fitness about re-enacting rear end collision using scenario developed using commercial software (PC-Crash) which can re-enact vehicle collision in virtual vehicle experiment. Scenario developed according to statistics from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and German In-Depth Accident Study. Scenario has twelve cases which composed of Re-LVS (Rear end Leading Vehicle Stop), Re-LVM (Rear end Lead Vehicle Moving) and scenario for evaluation about malfunction of active headrest.

Objectives : To obtain pulse information, oriental medical doctors usually use the three finger pulse diagnosis method. Although the diagnostic positions are very important, the exact positions are not known because of the uncertain conversion of measures of length (bun, chon, chuk) and misunderstanding of the related concepts of oriental medicine. In this study, we proposed relative positions for the detection of three pulses with a pulse analyzer. Methods : The proposal was made based mainly on several literature reviews, especially the original texts, and the examination of anthropometric characteristics of 78 individuals. Results : The Kwan is the spot where the radial pulse can be felt well near the eminent head of the radius at wrist, high bone. The position of Chon should be apart from Kwan by 6/10 distance between the high bone and wrist joint of each individual. Finally, the position of Chuk is apart from Kwan by 6.5/100 distance between the high bone and the elbow joint of each individual. Conclusions : Adapting those proposed positions for measuring three pulses can provide more consistent information to what an oriental doctor obtains than a pulse analyzer applied to other positions.

In recent years, medical image diagnosis has growing significant momentous in the medicinal field. Brain and lung image of patient are distorted with salt and pepper noise is caused by moving the head and chest during scanning process of patients. Reconstruction of these images is a most significant field of diagnostic evaluation and is produced clearly through techniques such as linear or non-linear filtering. However, restored images are produced with smaller amount of noise reduction in the presence of huge magnitude of salt and pepper noises. To eliminate the high density of salt and pepper noises from the reproduction of images, a new efficient fuzzy based median filtering algorithm with a moderate elapsed time is proposed in this paper. Reproduction image results show enhanced performance for the proposed algorithm over other available noise reduction filtering techniques in terms of peak signal -to -noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), image enhancement factor (IMF) and structural similarity (SSIM) value when tested on different medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scan brain image and CT scan lung image. The introduced algorithm is switching filter that recognize the noise pixels and then corrects them by using median filter with fuzzy two-sided π- membership function for extracting the local information.

Failure to thrive (FTT) is a term generally used to describe an infant or child whose current weight or rate of weight gains is significantly below that expected of similar children of the same age, sex and ethnicity. It usually describes infants in whom linear growth and head circumference are either not affected, or are affected to a lesser degree than weight. FTT is a common problem, usually recognized within the first 1-2 years of life, but may present at any time in childhood. Most cases of failure to thrive involve inadequate caloric intake caused by behavioral or psychosocial issues. The most important part of the outpatient evaluation is obtaining an accurate account of a child's eating habits and caloric intake. Routine laboratory testing rarely identifies a cause and is not generally recommended. FTT, its evaluation, and its therapeutic interventions are best approached by a multi-disciplinary team includes a nutritionist, a physical therapist, a psychologist and a gastroenterologist. Long term sequelae involving all areas of growth, behavior and development may be seen in children suffering from FTT. Early detection and early intervention by a multidisciplinary team will minimize its long term disadvantage. Appropriate nutritional counseling and anticipatory guidance at each well child visit may help prevent some cause of FTT.

The authors investigated an overhead shuttle (OHS) system for automatic transferring the liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. The constructed tracks of OHS system include the linear and curve regions and have been installed on the ceiling to transfer the cassette of LCD glass along the closed-loop and open-loop tracks. In this study, the OHS system was implemented by a proposed linear motor to solve encoder installation and the system cost problems of the long distance transfer system. In addition, we utilized a new algorithm of the position detection and a new control algorithm for driving linear motor. The newly developed control algorithm was demonstrated from both a computer simulation and an experimentation, indicating that the highly reliable and speedy transfer system can enhance the LCD panel productivity of commercial OHS system.

본 연구에서는 소형화 및 경량화의 특성을 가진 Fabry-Perot형 간섭계를 구성하였다. 음향이 광섬유의 횡방향으로 감지되도록 센서 헤드부를 1㎝정도로 제작하고 총 길이가 9.5㎝인 광섬유의 양단을 단순 지지토록 하였다. 센서의 음향 감지특성을 관찰하기 위하여 무지향성 스피커를 이용하여 음향신호를 인가하였다 횡방향으로 입력된 음향 신호를 광섬유 센서와 마이크로폰이 감지한 신호를 비교하였다. 1㎑ 이하의 신호에서는 광섬유 센서가 마이크로폰보다 감지 특성이 좋으나 2 ㎑에서는 광섬유센서의 감지 특성이 감소하였다. 이것은 제작된 광섬유 센서의 지지구조의 특성을 나타낸 것이며 실험을 통하여 Fabry-Perot 간섭계용 센서는 횡방향의 음향을 잘 감지함을 확인하였다. 이러한 형태의 센서는 지능구조물의 건강진단 모니터링 분야에도 적용가능 하리라 판단된다.
