Purpose : The duration of speech segments reflects children's speech motor development. The purpose of this study was to determine whether segmental sound and word duration varies by age among preschool children. Methods : A total of 60 children aged 4~5 years participated in this study. Participants took the picture-naming test to produce single-word speech data. The duration of the consonant at the initial position of the word and the final position of the word, the voice onset time of plosive, the duration of the vowel following the initial consonant, and the duration of the word were measured. Results : As age increased, the duration of the initial consonant, the duration of the word, and the voice onset time decreased significantly. The main effects of age, manner of articulation, and place of articulation on the duration of the initial consonant were significant. The duration of consonants in the nasal sound and plosives and the duration of bilabial and alveolar sound differed significantly between groups. The main effects of age and vocal type on voice onset time were significant. The main effect of age on the duration of the consonant in the final position of word and on the duration of the vowel were not statistically significant. Conclusion : The results of this study showed that the duration of segmental sound and the word were associated with speech development between 4 and 5 years old. Accordingly, duration of the segmental sound and the word may serve as an acoustic cue as they reflect speech development and speech motor control maturity.

Mapping of artificial levee lines, one of major tasks in river zone mapping, is critical to prevention of river flood, protection of environments and eco systems in river zones. Thus, mapping of artificial levee lines is essential for management and development of river zones. Coastal mapping including river zone mapping has been historically carried out using surveying technologies. Photogrammetry, one of the surveying technologies, is recently used technology for national river zone mapping in Korea. Airborne laser scanning has been used in most advanced countries for coastal mapping due to its ability to penetrate shallow water and its high vertical accuracy. Due to these advantages, use of LiDAR data in coastal mapping is efficient for monitoring and predicting significant topographic change in river zones. This paper introduces a method for construction of a 3D artificial levee line using a set of LiDAR points that uses normal vectors. Multiple steps are involved in this method. First, a 2.5-dimensional Delaunay triangle mesh is generated based on three nearest-neighbor points in the LiDAR data. Second, a median filtering is applied to minimize noise. Third, edge selection algorithms are applied to extract break edges from a Delaunay triangle mesh using two normal vectors. In this research, two methods for edge selection algorithms using hypothesis testing are used to extract break edges. Fourth, intersection edges which are extracted using both methods at the same range are selected as the intersection edge group. Fifth, among intersection edge group, some linear feature edges which are not suitable to compose a levee line are removed as much as possible considering vertical distance, slope and connectivity of an edge. Sixth, with all line segments which are suitable to constitute a levee line, one river levee line segment is connected to another river levee line segment with the end points of both river levee line segments located nearest horizontally and vertically to each other. After linkage of all the river levee line segments, the initial river levee line is generated. Since the initial river levee line consists of the LiDAR points, the pattern of the initial river levee line is being zigzag along the river levee. Thus, for the last step, a algorithm for smoothing the initial river levee line is applied to fit the initial river levee line into the reference line, and the final 3D river levee line is constructed. After the algorithm is completed, the proposed algorithm is applied to construct the 3D river levee line in Zng-San levee nearby Ham-Ahn Bo in Nak-Dong river. Statistical results show that the constructed river levee line generated using a proposed method has high accuracy in comparison to the ground truth. This paper shows that use of LiDAR data for construction of the 3D river levee line for river zone mapping is useful and efficient; and, as a result, it can be replaced with ground surveying method for construction of the 3D river levee line.

본 연구에서는 폴리우레탄 합성반응의 특성을 수정진동자 분석기(QCA)의 공진주파수와 공진저항을 동시에 측정하여 분석하였다. 폴리우레탄 합성반응 초기에 생성된 폴리우레탄이 자동촉매반응을 일으켜 공진주파수가 급격히 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 프리폴리머(prepolymer, PP) 합성반응에서는 어느 순간 급속히 공진주파수가 감소하다 서서히 안정화되었다. 사슬연장제가 첨가된 세그먼티드 폴리우레탄(segmented polyurethane, SPU) 합성반응에서는 어느 순간 공진주파수가 급속히 감소하다가 다시 증가하였다. 이는 소프트세그먼트(soft segment, SS)에 사슬연장제인 1, 4-butandiol이 반응하여 하드세그먼트(hard segment, HS)로 변화됨으로써 강직한 HS 분자구조의 생성에 따라 공진주파수가 증가하였다고 생각된다. 또한 공진저항은 각각의 메카니즘을 해석하는데 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과, 폴리우레탄의 반응특성을 수정진동자 분석기(QCA)를 이용함으로써 온라인 분석할 수 있었으며, 반응메카니즘을 해석할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for automatic segmentation of the liver in CT images. The proposed scheme is carried out on region of interest(ROI) blocks that include regions of the liver with high probabilities. The ROI approach saves unnecessary computational loss in finding the accurate boundary of the liver. The proposed method utilizes the composition of multi-size morphological filters with a prior knowledge, such as the general location or the approximate intensity of the liver to detect the initial boundary of the liver. Then, we make the gradient image with the weight of the initial liver boundary and segment the liver legion by using an immersion-based waters hed algorithm in the gradient image. finally, the refining process is carried out to acquire a more accurate liver region.

For the disadvantages of multi-scale geometric analysis methods such as loss of definition and complex selection of rules in image fusion, an improved multi-focus image fusion method is proposed. First, the initial fused image is quickly obtained based on the lifting stationary wavelet transform, and a simple normalized cut is performed on the initial fused image to obtain different segmented regions. Then, the original image is subjected to NSCT transformation and the absolute value of the high frequency component coefficient in each segmented region is calculated. At last, the region with the largest absolute value is selected as the postfusion region, and the fused multi-focus image is obtained by traversing each segment region. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm can not only simplify the selection of fusion rules, but also overcome loss of definition and has validity.

Dubins showed that any shortest path of a car-like robot consists of exactly three path segment which are either arcs of circles of radius r(denoted C), or straight line segments(denoted S). Possible six types classified into two families, i.e. CSC and CCC. CSC includes 2 types(LRL and RLR) and CSC includes 4 types(LSL, RSR, LSR, RSL). This paper proposes new formulae for CSC family to find the shortest smooth path between the initial and final configurations of a car-like robot. The formulae is used for finding connection points explicitly between C\longrightarrowS and S\longrightarrowC which are necessary for real applications. The formulae have simple forms mainly because they are transformed into origin of their original coordinates of initial and target configuration, and derived from a standard forms which are a representative configuration of LSL and LSR type respectively. The proposed formulae, which are derived from the standard forms, are simple and new method.

Due to global warming, various natural disasters such as floods and droughts are increasing. If we can detect the possibility of natural disasters in advance, we can prevent massive damages caused by natural disasters. Recent advances in visual sensor technologies have enabled remote monitoring of a variety of natural environments, including lakes, rivers, and shores. In this paper, we propose a method to segment an image obtained from video sensor networks into regions in order to monitor the environment effectively. In the proposed method, we first partition the image into superpixels and model the connections between superpixels as a graph. Then, initial seeds for each region are set by using the prior information, and the initial seeds are expanded to form regions using agglomerative clustering. Experimental results show that the proposed method extracts the regions from natural environment images easily and accurately.

Left main coronary artery (LMCA) thrombosis is rare and the cause should be determined. A previously healthy young man presented with severe chest pain and dyspnea. The electrocardiogram showed typical ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with clinical instability. Emergency coronary angiography revealed complete LMCA occlusion by thrombosis. After reperfusion, the patient was admitted to the cardiac care unit. He was diagnosed with hemolytic anemia and tested positive for antinuclear antibodies. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and LMCA disease due to systemic thrombosis were diagnosed. Steroids were started and the patient was discharged without complications. We report this rare case of LMCA thrombosis as an initial presentation of SLE.

본 연구에서는 FCM 공법에서 교각과 캔틸레버 세그먼트의 임시고정을 위하여 주로 적용하고 있는 "내부 프리스트레싱 긴장재에 의한 임시 고정시스템(Stiching System)"에서 강봉의 응력특성을 분석하였다. 본 시스템에서 강봉은 교각과 PSC BOX를 내부에서 연결하여 인장 및 장착하므로 초기 긴장력의 변화 추이를 확인하기 어려웠다. 따라서, 강봉에 부착하여 강봉의 미세 길이변화를 측정할 수 있는 FBG센서를 활용하여 각 세그먼트 완료 전후에 계측 및 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 캔틸레버 세그먼트 완료까지 발생한 강봉의 최대 연직 수축량의 75% ~ 90%가 강봉의 정착 ~ 1세그먼트에서 발생되었고, 이때 도입 긴장력의 최대 손실은 39%로 나타났다. 이와 같은 강봉의 정착 ~ 1세그먼트 완료까지의 긴장력의 과대 손실은 강봉 정착 중 시공의 정밀도 향상과 1세그먼트의 완료 이후 캔틸레버 세그먼트의 전도에 대한 안정성 확보를 위하여 재 긴장이 필요함을 의미한다. 2 ~ 마지막 세그먼트에서는 강봉의 응력이 완만하게 감소하였고 하절기에는 주두부 콘크리트의 연직방향 체적 증가에 상응한 강봉의 길이 증가로 인하여 응력의 감소가 일부 회복되는 경향을 보여 2~마지막 세그먼트에서는 대기 온도에 따른 강봉의 길이변화가 응력변화의 지배적인 요인인 것으로 판단된다. 강봉의 길이변화와 달리 강봉의 릴랙세이션에 의한 응력이완은 1.2 ~ 2.7%로서 매우 작은 비율로 나타났고, 강봉의 온도응력에 상응하는 반대방향 응력(강봉의 상하부 고정, 강봉과 콘크리트의 열팽창계수가 상이한 영향으로 발생)으로 대부분 상쇄되었다. 따라서, 강봉 정착 시기 조절 등 강봉의 내부응력 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 슈퍼픽셀과 FCM을 이용한 클러스터 초기값 설정방법과 이를 사용한 칼라영상분할을 연구한다. 클러스터링을 이용한 대표적인 칼라영상분할 방법으로 Fuzzy C-menas (FCM) 알고리즘을 많이 사용한다. FCM은 하나의 데이터가 각 클러스터에 서로 다른 소속도를 갖도록 한다. 그러나 FCM은 초기값 설정에 따라 국부적인 수렴문제가 발생한다. 따라서 초기값 설정문제는 매우 중요한데 본 연구에서는 슈퍼픽셀을 이용하여 클러스터의 초기값을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 슈퍼픽셀은 원 영상에서 특성이 비슷한 화소들의 묶음으로 표현되는데 먼저 원 영상으로부터 슈퍼픽셀을 구하고 이를 $La^*b^*$ 칼라특징공간에 투영하여 클러스터 초기값을 구한다. 제안방법에서 슈퍼픽셀의 수는 원영상의 화소 수보다 일반적으로 매우 적어서 클러스터 초기값 설정을 위한 고속처리가 가능하다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 다양한 칼라영상을 사용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하였으며 실험결과 제안방법이 기존방법에 비해 영상분할 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
