Background: Due to the declining number of students preparing for university entrance exams , the quota of universities has been decreasing continuously. This situation became increasingly diverse as new media used online, mobile, and PR tools to continuously invite students. This study is aimed at offering the helpful data to plan an effective PR strategy by analyzing the correlation between the major selection and satisfaction of the department's social media usage among freshmen majoring in dental hygiene. Methods: The collected data from the self-reported survey with freshmen were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. The survey items were motive to select the major, social media platform that subjects used, reasons to use the media, time to visit the department's social media platform, and satisfaction level on the department's social media platform, using a 5-point Likert Scale. Results: The reasons for choosing a major were given by 32.2% and 15.9% respondents, respectively, as the vision after graduation and practice facilities. 39.9% and 31.4% used Instagram and YouTube for social media platforms, respectively, for using social media platform; 26.9% and 26.3% visited the department's social media before and after entering the university, respectively; 46.4% and 24.9% used Instagram and YouTube for department social media; and they generally satisfied with the contents of the department's social media. 40.9% of them said that information from the department's social media was useful. 33.8% of them said the information from the department's social media exceeded their expectations. 46.8% of them answered that the department's social media made the department's image positive. 33.4% got interested in the major more due to the department's social media. According to 32.1% of respondents, the department's social media was helpful in deciding on a major. With 35.4%, a positive correlation was discovered between the department's practice facilities and satisfaction on the department's social media. Conclusion: It is thought that the department's social media should try continuously by uploading the contents to meet the users' needs on a regular basis and seeking the plans to be able to collect various opinions using surveys through the related social media so that students can select the major and, moreover, lead the positive direction to adapt the university life under the unfamiliar environment after admission.

This study reveals the absence of standard design guidelines by region through investigation and analysis centered on public design cases by region in Jeollabuk-do and design elements that can reflect the integration, identity, and diversity of public design in each region by five regions. Through this, the following conclusions could be obtained. First, to improve the quality of street facilities in Jeollabuk-do, the design elements (design motif, color, pattern) applicable to the standard design were analyzed by dividing them into five regions. As a design motif, it was possible to extract patterns containing straight lines, sophistication, dignity, and smartness. In the Northeast region, it is comfortable with the motif of the mountain ridge reflecting geographical characteristics, and it can be extracted elements that contain warm and natural colors. In the southeastern region, patterns that reflect design elements were extracted by applying safe, lively, and peaceful colors with the design motif of curves that blend nature and agriculture. In the southwestern region, design pattern elements that highlight nature, history, and culture were extracted with various cultural assets and natural greenery as motifs. Lastly, in the Saemangeum region, the ocean flow and greenery could be used as a design motif to reflect a positive, clear, future-oriented image in the design spot zones by region. Second, based on the standard design elements (design motive, color, pattern) by region extracted for the standard design development of street facilities in each region in Jeollabuk-do, an integrated zone(Form, structure, material, color, functional element) to which regional design guidelines can be applied. Third, an integrated zone (form, structure, material, color, functional elements) was composed. In addition, design spot zones (patterns and colors in city and county units) that can contain the diversity and identity of each region were designated. By designating design spot zones (patterns and colors in city and county units) that can contain the diversity and identity of each region, standard design development plans (integrated pillars, jaywalking prevention fences, roundabouts (urban type, rural type), street trees) Eight standard designs, including protective covers, street planters, flat benches, light benches, visual media for user guidance, and parking zones for personal mobile devices) were presented.

Efficient management of deteriorating civil infrastructure is one of the most important research topics in many developed countries. In particular, the remote displacement measurement of bridges using linear variable differential transformers, global positioning systems, laser Doppler vibrometers, and computer vision technologies has been attempted extensively. This paper proposes a remote displacement measurement system using closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) and a computer-vision-based method for in-situ bridge bearings having relatively large displacement due to temperature change in long term. The hardware of the system is composed of a reference target for displacement measurement, a CCTV to capture target images, a gateway to transmit images via a mobile network, and a central server to store and process transmitted images. The usage of CCTV capable of night vision capture and wireless data communication enable long-term 24-hour monitoring on wide range of bridge area. The computer vision algorithm to estimate displacement from the images involves image preprocessing for enhancing the circular features of the target, circular Hough transformation for detecting circles on the target in the whole field-of-view (FOV), and homography transformation for converting the movement of the target in the images into an actual expansion displacement. The simple target design and robust circle detection algorithm help to measure displacement using target images where the targets are far apart from each other. The proposed system is installed at the Tancheon Overpass located in Seoul, and field experiments are performed to evaluate the accuracy of circle detection and displacement measurements. The circle detection accuracy is evaluated using 28,542 images captured from 71 CCTVs installed at the testbed, and only 48 images (0.168%) fail to detect the circles on the target because of subpar imaging conditions. The accuracy of displacement measurement is evaluated using images captured for 17 days from three CCTVs; the average and root-mean-square errors are 0.10 and 0.131 mm, respectively, compared with a similar displacement measurement. The long-term operation of the system, as evaluated using 8-month data, shows high accuracy and stability of the proposed system.

Objective: Chemical exchange-dependent saturation transfer (CEST) MRI is sensitive for detecting solid-like proteins and may detect changes in the levels of mobile proteins and peptides in tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of chemical exchange proton pools using the CEST MRI technique in patients with dementia. Materials and Methods: Our institutional review board approved this cross-sectional prospective study and informed consent was obtained from all participants. This study included 41 subjects (19 with dementia and 22 without dementia). Complete CEST data of the brain were obtained using a three-dimensional gradient and spin-echo sequence to map CEST indices, such as amide, amine, hydroxyl, and magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry (MTR_asym) values, using six-pool Lorentzian fitting. Statistical analyses of CEST indices were performed to evaluate group comparisons, their correlations with gray matter volume (GMV) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Amine signals (0.029 for non-dementia, 0.046 for dementia, p = 0.011 at hippocampus) and MTR_asym values at 3 ppm (0.748 for non-dementia, 1.138 for dementia, p = 0.022 at hippocampus), and 3.5 ppm (0.463 for non-dementia, 0.875 for dementia, p = 0.029 at hippocampus) were significantly higher in the dementia group than in the non-dementia group. Most CEST indices were not significantly correlated with GMV; however, except amide, most indices were significantly correlated with the MMSE scores. The classification power of most CEST indices was lower than that of GMV but adding one of the CEST indices in GMV improved the classification between the subject groups. The largest improvement was seen in the MTR_asym values at 2 ppm in the anterior cingulate (area under the ROC curve = 0.981), with a sensitivity of 100 and a specificity of 90.91. Conclusion: CEST MRI potentially allows noninvasive image alterations in the Alzheimer's disease brain without injecting isotopes for monitoring different disease states and may provide a new imaging biomarker in the future.

목 적: 방사선 치료 중 정확한 환자의 셋업 확인과 선량 측정용으로 사용되었던 film을 대신 하여 현재는 전자포탈영상장치(EPID)가 장착된 장비가 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 전자포탈영상장치 사용 시 자세확인의 정확성과 선량측정의 유용성을 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 대한방사선치료학회, 대한방사선종양학회, Pubmed에서 "EPID", "Portal dosimetry", "Portal image", "Dose verification", "Quality control", "Cine mode", "Quality - assurance", "In vivo dosimetry"와 같은 용어로 검색하여 획득한 50개의 자료(1997~2012)를 대상으로 EPID의 역사와 선량측정(dosimetry), 자세확인(set-up verification), EPID 특성으로 구분하여 EPID의 유용성을 분석 하였다. 결 과: EPID는 1세대 Liquid-filled ionization chamber, 2세대 Camera based fluroscopic, 3세대 Amorphous-silicon 순으로 발전하였으며, EPID 촬영 모드에는 크게 EPID mode, Cine mode, Integrated mode로 나뉜다. 필름과 EPID의 절대선량정확성 평가를 한 결과 EPID는 1%, EDR2 필름은 3% 이내로 나타나 오차 측정 정확도가 필름에 비해 EPID가 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 치료계획 시스템으로부터 계산된 기준 조사면과 EDR2 필름, EPID로 측정한 기준 조사면의 선량 분포를 중첩하여 감마 분석한 결과 필름과 EPID 모두 허용기준 3%/3 mm와 2%/2 mm에서 감마값이 1을 초과하는 화소(r%>1)가 전체 화소의 2% 이내였다. 또한 업무 부하 비교에 있어 세기조절방사선 치료에서 전 과정 QA를 수행하는데 소요되는 시간은 EDR2 필름이 약 110분, EPID가 약 55분으로 측정되었다. 결 론: 전자포탈영상장치의 이용은 선량측정과 자세확인에 있어 기존의 복잡하고 번거로웠던 film과 전리조(Ionization chamber)를 대체하기에 충분하였으며, 특히 세기조절방사선치료의 정도관리에 있어 매우 유용하고 효율적이며 정확한 선량 측정 장치임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전자포탈영상장치를 이용한 Cine mode 촬영은 횡격막의 움직임에 따라 유동성이 큰 폐와 간의 경우나 자세의 안정성이 불안한 직장암 환자의 경우 추가 선량 없이 실시간으로 종양의 위치를 확인 할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 최적의 방사선 치료 구현이 가능하리라 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 음악에 오디오 워터마크를 삽입하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 스테레오 음악은 2개의 채널을 갖고 있기 때문에 기존 워터마킹 기술은 일반적으로 각 채널을 독립적으로 생각하고 처리하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 스테레오를 모노로 변환하는 과정에서 워터마크의 손실이 발생하는 경우가 많이 발생할 수 있다. 제안한 알고리즘은 스테레오를 모노로 변환하더라도 워터마크의 손실이 발생하지 않도록 워터마크를 삽입할 때 스테레오와 모노변환의 특성을 이용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에 사용된 오디오 워터마크는 "Copyright"와 "Copy_free"라는 두 가지 정보를 터보코드를 이용하여 생성하였다. 두 워터마크는 9바이트(72비트)로 이루어져 있으며, 오류정정을 위하여 터보코드를 적용하면 222비트로 삽입해야 하는 정보량이 늘어난다. 222비트의 워터마크는 추가적인 오류에 강인하도록 1024비트로 확장하여 최종적으로 스테레오 음악에 삽입할 워터마크로 사용하였다. 평균적으로 SNR은 40dB를 넘어서서 전통적인 양자화 방식보다 10dB 이상의 음질 개선을 가져왔다. 이는 상대적으로 10배의 음질 개선도를 의미하는 것으로 매우 유의미한 결과이다. 또한 워터마크의 추출에 필요한 샘플길이는 1초 이내의 길이면 충분히 추출이 가능하고, 128Kbps의 비트레이트를 갖는 MP3 압축에 대해서도 모두 1초 이내 길이의 음악 샘플로부터 워터마크의 완전한 추출이 가능하였다. 전통적인 양자화 방식이 10초 길이의 샘플을 이용해도 대부분 워터마크의 추출에 실패한 것에 비하면 1/10에 불과한 길이로 워터마크의 추출이 가능하다.

A review was undertaken to obtain information on the sustainability of pig free-range production systems including the management, performance and health of pigs in the system. Modern outdoor rearing systems requires simple portable and flexible housing with low cost fencing. Local pig breeds and outdoor-adapted breeds for certain environment are generally more suitable for free-range systems. Free-range farms should be located in a low rainfall area and paddocks should be relatively flat, with light topsoil overlying free-draining subsoil with the absence of sharp stones that can cause foot damage. Huts or shelters are crucial for protecting pigs from direct sun burn and heat stress, especially when shade from trees and other facilities is not available. Pigs commonly graze on strip pastures and are rotated between paddocks. The zones of thermal comfort for the sow and piglet differ markedly; between 12-22$^{\circ}C$ for the sow and 30-37$^{\circ}C$ for piglets. Offering wallows for free-range pigs meets their behavioural requirements, and also overcomes the effects of high ambient temperatures on feed intake. Pigs can increase their evaporative heat loss via an increase in the proportion of wet skin by using a wallow, or through water drips and spray. Mud from wallows can also coat the skin of pigs, preventing sunburn. Under grazing conditions, it is difficult to control the fibre intake of pigs although a high energy, low fibre diet can be used. In some countries outdoor sows are fitted with nose rings to prevent them from uprooting the grass. This reduces nutrient leaching of the land due to less rooting. In general, free-range pigs have a higher mortality compared to intensively housed pigs. Many factors can contribute to the death of the piglet including crushing, disease, heat stress and poor nutrition. With successful management, free-range pigs can have similar production to door pigs, although the growth rate of the litters is affected by season. Piglets grow quicker indoors during the cold season compared to outdoor systems. Pigs reared outdoors show calmer behaviour. Aggressive interactions during feeding are lower compared to indoor pigs while outdoor sows are more active than indoor sows. Outdoor pigs have a higher parasite burden, which increases the nutrient requirement for maintenance and reduces their feed utilization efficiency. Parasite infections in free-range pigs also risks the image of free-range pork as a clean and safe product. Diseases can be controlled to a certain degree by grazing management. Frequent rotation is required although most farmers are keeping their pigs for a longer period before rotating. The concept of using pasture species to minimise nematode infections in grazing pigs looks promising. Plants that can be grown locally and used as part of the normal feeding regime are most likely to be acceptable to farmers, particularly organic farmers. However, one of the key concerns from the public for free-range pig production system is the impact on the environment. In the past, the pigs were held in the same paddock at a high stocking rate, which resulted in damage to the vegetation, nutrient loading in the soil, nitrate leaching and gas emission. To avoid this, outdoor pigs should be integrated in the cropping pasture system, the stock should be mobile and stocking rate related to the amount of feed given to the animals.

3000년 전 이집트에서 인류 최초의 포스터가 등장한 이후 인쇄술의 발명과 문명의 발전으로 포스터 제작기술이 가속화 되었다. 이에 발맞추어 포스터의 표현 또한 단순 문자 배열에서 예술적 감성을 함께 표현하려는 시도로 발전되었으며, 이제는 전문 디자이너의 영역으로 자리 잡은 하나의 예술 형식이 되었다. 하지만 포스터의 표현 방식에 대한 기술적 변화는 이차원적 발전에 머무르고 있으며, 현대의 멀티미디어를 기반으로 하는 ICT 환경변화와는 무관한 듯 인쇄에만 의존하고 있는 상황이다. 특히, 수많은 종류의 포스터 가운데 유일하게 영상물을 대상으로 하는 영화 포스터의 양식이 아직도 종이인쇄에 그치고 있고, 지금까지 여러 시도는 있어 왔지만 영화계는 여전히 ICT 접목에 대해서는 전혀 고려치 않는 듯 같다. 이 연구는 영화포스터의 대상이 영상물을 다루고 있다는 특징으로부터 시작하여 영화의 동적 이미지를 정적 포스터에 접목시키기 위해 증강현실을 도입하는 시도를 하였다. 국내 한 대학의 영상디자인전공 졸업작품에서 학생들의 영상작품홍보를 위한 각 작품들의 포스터를 일반 상업영화 포스터 형식으로 디자인하여 인쇄하였으며, 이 중 증강현실 적용에 적합하다고 판단되는 6작품을 선별하여 증강현실을 도입하고 전시하였다. 모바일 디바이스를 통해 포스터와 정합되어 나타나는 콘텐츠는 영상물의 한 장면이 포스터 위에서 재현되지만, 원래 포스터가 표현하고 있는 텍스트 정보 등은 그대로 유지되도록 하여, 마치 영화 "해리포터"에서 등장한 현상수배 포스터와 같이 움직이는 포스터를 구현할 수 있었다. 본 증강현실 포스터 제작을 위해 두 가지 다른 형식으로 제작된 기존 상업영화의 포스터에 증강현실을 도입해 봄으로써 AR 콘텐츠의 특징을 배가시킬 수 있는 방법을 찾아 본 작품에 적용할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 AR 표현이 적합한 포스터디자인을 알 수 있었으며, 증강현실 콘텐츠 제작의 정합과정에서 증강현실의 안정적 구동을 위한 기술적 표현에 대해 정리할 수 있었다.

Lately, in consumers' markets the number of new items is rapidly increasing at an overwhelming rate while consumers have limited access to information about those new products in making a sensible, well-informed purchase. Therefore, item providers and customers need a system which recommends right items to right customers. Also, whenever new items are released, for instance, the recommender system specializing in new items can help item providers locate and identify potential customers. Currently, new items are being added to an existing system without being specially noted to consumers, making it difficult for consumers to identify and evaluate new products introduced in the markets. Most of previous approaches for recommender systems have to rely on the usage history of customers. For new items, this content-based (CB) approach is simply not available for the system to recommend those new items to potential consumers. Although collaborative filtering (CF) approach is not directly applicable to solve the new item problem, it would be a good idea to use the basic principle of CF which identifies similar customers, i,e. neighbors, and recommend items to those customers who have liked the similar items in the past. This research aims to suggest a hybrid recommendation procedure based on the preference boundary of target customer. We suggest the hybrid recommendation procedure using the preference boundary in the feature space for recommending new items only. The basic principle is that if a new item belongs within the preference boundary of a target customer, then it is evaluated to be preferred by the customer. Customers' preferences and characteristics of items including new items are represented in a feature space, and the scope or boundary of the target customer's preference is extended to those of neighbors'. The new item recommendation procedure consists of three steps. The first step is analyzing the profile of items, which are represented as k-dimensional feature values. The second step is to determine the representative point of the target customer's preference boundary, the centroid, based on a personal information set. To determine the centroid of preference boundary of a target customer, three algorithms are developed in this research: one is using the centroid of a target customer only (TC), the other is using centroid of a (dummy) big target customer that is composed of a target customer and his/her neighbors (BC), and another is using centroids of a target customer and his/her neighbors (NC). The third step is to determine the range of the preference boundary, the radius. The suggested algorithm Is using the average distance (AD) between the centroid and all purchased items. We test whether the CF-based approach to determine the centroid of the preference boundary improves the recommendation quality or not. For this purpose, we develop two hybrid algorithms, BC and NC, which use neighbors when deciding centroid of the preference boundary. To test the validity of hybrid algorithms, BC and NC, we developed CB-algorithm, TC, which uses target customers only. We measured effectiveness scores of suggested algorithms and compared them through a series of experiments with a set of real mobile image transaction data. We spilt the period between 1st June 2004 and 31st July and the period between 1st August and 31st August 2004 as a training set and a test set, respectively. The training set Is used to make the preference boundary, and the test set is used to evaluate the performance of the suggested hybrid recommendation procedure. The main aim of this research Is to compare the hybrid recommendation algorithm with the CB algorithm. To evaluate the performance of each algorithm, we compare the purchased new item list in test period with the recommended item list which is recommended by suggested algorithms. So we employ the evaluation metric to hit the ratio for evaluating our algorithms. The hit ratio is defined as the ratio of the hit set size to the recommended set size. The hit set size means the number of success of recommendations in our experiment, and the test set size means the number of purchased items during the test period. Experimental test result shows the hit ratio of BC and NC is bigger than that of TC. This means using neighbors Is more effective to recommend new items. That is hybrid algorithm using CF is more effective when recommending to consumers new items than the algorithm using only CB. The reason of the smaller hit ratio of BC than that of NC is that BC is defined as a dummy or virtual customer who purchased all items of target customers' and neighbors'. That is centroid of BC often shifts from that of TC, so it tends to reflect skewed characters of target customer. So the recommendation algorithm using NC shows the best hit ratio, because NC has sufficient information about target customers and their neighbors without damaging the information about the target customers.
