전경계선 검출은 저수준 영상 처리에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 대부분의 경계선 검출 방법들은 노이즈 포인트들의 영향으로 효과적이지 못하며 서로 다른 입력 영상에서도 유연하지 못하다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 먼저 외부 노이즈 제거 단계를 제시하였고, 다음으로 기울기 폭 히스토그램과 내부 클래스 최소 변이에 따른 양쪽 임계치의 자동 선택을 제시하였다. 이 알고리즘을 사용하여 민감한 노이즈 포인트들의 대부분을 줄일 수 있었고 실제 파라미터를 인위적으로 세팅하지 않고 서로 다른 영상을 위한 목적 임계치를 계산하며, 퍼지 알고리즘에 의하여 경계선 픽셀들을 선택하였다. 결론적으로 이전의 Canny 알고리즘보다 훨씬 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop key performance indicators (KPIs) for home care nursing (HCN) based on a balanced scorecard, and to construct a performance prediction model of strategic objectives using the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). Methods: This methodological study included four steps: establishment of KPIs, performance prediction modeling, development of a performance prediction model using BBN, and simulation of a suggested nursing management strategy. An HCN expert group and a staff group participated. The content validity index was analyzed using STATA 13.0, and BBN was analyzed using HUGIN 8.0. Results: We generated a list of KPIs composed of 4 perspectives, 10 strategic objectives, and 31 KPIs. In the validity test of the performance prediction model, the factor with the greatest variance for increasing profit was maximum cost reduction of HCN services. The factor with the smallest variance for increasing profit was a minimum image improvement for HCN. During sensitivity analysis, the probability of the expert group did not affect the sensitivity. Furthermore, simulation of a 10% image improvement predicted the most effective way to increase profit. Conclusion: KPIs of HCN can estimate financial and non-financial performance. The performance prediction model for HCN will be useful to improve performance.

The nature of genetic variation and diversity among the 65 multivoltine silkworm genotypes was evaluated for 16 post cocoon characters. The components of genetic variation revealed higher PCV (60.487%) and GCV (44.56%) for evenness (variation 1) followed by cohesion (PCV=55.38%, GCV=40.36%) and non-broken filament length (PCV=32.05%, GCV=31.28%). The higher heritability ($h^2$ in broad sense) was observed for boil-off loss (95.6%) followed by non-broken filament length (95.22%). The both genotypic and phenotypic correlation indicated significant positive correlation of filament length with non-broken filament length, silk recovery, raw silk, neatness, and low neatness; and negative correlation with denier, renditta and silk waste. The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed 75.381 % of total variance from the five principal components extracted. On the basis of Mahalonobis' $D^2$ values (Ward's minimum variance), the sixty-five multivoltine silkworm genotypes were classified in to 9 clusters with substantial inter and intra cluster distances. Number of genotypes included in different clusters varied from 3 to 17. The results indicated that the optimum distance obtained in cluster VII (15.059) along with higher cluster mean values especially for filament length, non broken filament length, renditta, silk recovery, silk waste, and raw silk emphasized the utilization of these genotypes in the conventional silkworm breeding programme for improvement of multivoltine silk fibre quality. The possibility of exploiting genetic variation in post cocoon traits for efficient breeding programme is discussed.

In this paper, the finite element method was used for the flow and strength analysis of aluminum alloy under friction stir welding. The simulations were carried out using Sysweld s/w, and the modeling of the sheet was executed using Unigraphics NX6 s/w. The welding variables for the analysis were the shoulder diameter, rotating speed, and welding speed of the tool. Additionally, a three-way factorial design method was applied to confirm the effect of the welding variables on the flow and strength analysis with variance analysis. From these results, the rotating speed had the greatest influence on the maximum temperature, and the maximum temperature was $578.84{\pm}12.72$ at a confidence interval of 99%. The greater the rotating speed and shoulder diameter, the greater the difference between maximum and minimum temperature. Furthermore, the shoulder diameter had the largest influence on von Mises stress, and the von Mises stress was $184.54{\pm}12.62$ at a confidence interval of 99%. In addition to the increased shoulder diameter, welding speed, and rotating speed of the tool increased the von Mises stress.

In this paper, we propose an optimal fixed-lag FIR (Finite-Impulse-Response) smoother for a class of discrete time-varying state-space signal models. The proposed fixed-lag FIR smoother is linear with respect to inputs and outputs on the recent finite horizon and estimates the delayed state so that the variance of the estimation error is minimized with the unbiased constraint. Since the proposed smoother is derived with system inputs, it can be adapted to feedback control system. Additionally, the proposed smoother can give more general solution than the optimal FIR filter, because it reduced to the optimal FIR filter by setting the fixed-lag size as zero. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed smoother by comparing with an optimal FIR filter and a conventional fixed-lag Kalman smoother.

Season is very important as it defines the contemporaries for sire and cow evaluation. An attempt is made for defining season for animal model evaluation of Sahiwal animals, using 1,227 records from 730 cows. Cows were required to have a lactation length of 305-days. Ten different combinations of months for two, four, five or other seasons were tried. The other fixed effect in the model was age defined within parity. The random effects were permanent environment and animal's breeeding value along with the residual effects. A single trait animal model was used where all known relationships of an animal were incorporated in a relationship matrix. The error variance from the fitted model decreased as the number of year-season combinations increased, indicating a month-year model to be more appropriate. This, on the other hand, decreased the number of contemporaries for certain subclasses to a minimum of one, making the bull comparisons invalid. Use of a two season scenario, with winter (November through February) and summer (March through October) was better than the other combinations in terms of error variance of the fitted model and the number of lactations represented in any year-season subclass.

A decision maker of a company can easily develop the future plan and the task of researchers may be allocated properly. we expect that the productivity can be improved by this study. The results of this study can be also applied to other areas including shipbuilding, construction, and consulting areas.

공간 다중화 방식의 MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) 시스템에서 MLD(Maximum-Likelihood Detector)는 최적의 성능을 보이지만, 그 복잡성이 상당히 큰 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 여러 가지 기법들이 제안되었으며, Lattice-reduction(LR) 검출기 또한 MIMO 시스템의 성능을 개선하기 위해 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 확장된 잡음분산 행렬을 이용해 rounding operation 과정에서 발생하는 양자화 오류를 이용해 송신 신호 벡터에 근접한 candidate symbol set을 찾고, 여기서 Semidefinite Relaxation을 이용해 최대 우도 symbol을 검출한다. 그러나 그 복잡도는 MLD의 복잡도 보다 현저히 작고, LR 검출기의 복잡도에 근접한다.

The magnitude of wear should be at a minimum for numerous automobile and aeronautical components. In the current work, composites were prepared by varying the cenosphere content using the conventional stir casting method. A uniform distribution of particles was ensured with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three major parameters were chosen from various factors that affect the wear. A wear test was conducted with a pin-on-disc apparatus; the controlling parameters were volume percentages of reinforcement of 5, 10, 15, and 20%, applied loads of 9.8, 29.42, and 49.03 N, and sliding speeds of 1.26, 2.51, and 3.77 m/s. The design of the experiments (DOE) was performed by varying the different influencing parameters using the full factorial method. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the effects of the parameters on the wear rate. Using regression analysis, a response curve was obtained based on the experimental results. The parameters in the resulting curve were optimized using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA results were compared with those of an alternate efficient algorithm called Neural Networks (NNs).

본 논문에서는 적응 배열 안테나 시스템에서 간섭 및 재밍 신호를 제거하기 위해서 최적 가중 벡터를 연구하였다. 최적 가중 벡터는 선형 제한 조건에서 최소 분산 알고리즘과 비용함수를 적용시켜 구하였고, 목표물의 신호를 정확히 추정하였다. 적응 배열 안테나 시스템은 간섭 및 재머전력을 감소시키고 신호대 잡음비를 향상시키는 시스템이다. 적응 배열 안테나 시스템은 각 안테나 배열 소자의 출력이 탭(Tap)을 거쳐 지연되고 각 탭에 복소 가중치가 곱해져서 최종적으로 하나의 복합신호를 만든다. 최적의 가중치를 구하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 입력 공분산 행렬의 최적 가중벡터를 이용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘으로 모의 실험한 결과 분해능은 $3^{\circ}$이하로 향상되었으며 부엽은 약 10 dB 감소하였음을 입증하였다.
