Objective: The purpose of this study was to understand the injury mechanism and to provide quantitative data to use in prevention or posture correction training by conducting kinematic and kinetic analyses of risk factors of lower extremity joint injury depending on the change of direction at different angles after a landing motion. Method: This study included 11 men in their twenties (age: $24.6{\pm}1.7years$, height: $176.6{\pm}4.4cm$, weight: $71.3{\pm}8.0kg$) who were right-leg dominant. By using seven infrared cameras (Oqus 300, Qualisys, Sweden), one force platform (AMTI, USA), and an accelerometer (Noraxon, USA), single-leg drop landing was performed at a height of 30 cm. The joint range of motion (ROM) of the lower extremity, peak joint moment, peak joint power, peak vertical ground reaction force (GRF), and peak vertical acceleration were measured. For statistical analysis, one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was conducted at a significance level of ${\alpha}$ <.05. Results: Ankle and knee joint ROM in the sagittal plane significantly differed, respectively (F = 3.145, p = .024; F = 14.183, p = .000), depending on the change of direction. However, no significant differences were observed in the ROM of ankle and knee joint in the transverse plane. Significant differences in peak joint moment were also observed but no statistically significant differences were found in negative joint power between the conditions. Peak vertical GRF was high in landing (LAD) and after landing, left $45^{\circ}$ cutting (LLC), with a significant difference (F = 9.363, p = .000). The peak vertical acceleration was relatively high in LAD and LLC compared with other conditions, but the difference was not significant. Conclusion: We conclude that moving in the left direction may expose athletes to greater injury risk in terms of joint kinetics than moving in the right direction. However, further investigation of joint injury mechanisms in sports would be required to confirm these findings.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to obtain improved susceptibility weighted images (SWI) of the cervical spinal cord using respiratory-induced artifact compensation. Materials and Methods: The artifact from $B_0$ fluctuations by respiration could be compensated using a double navigator echo approach. The two navigators were inserted in an SWI sequence before and after the image readouts. The $B_0$ fluctuation was measured by each navigator echoes, and the inverse of the fluctuation was applied to eliminate the artifact from fluctuation. The degree of compensation was quantified using a quality index (QI) term for compensated imaging using each navigator. Also, the effect of compensation was analyzed according to the position of the spinal cord using QI values. Results: Compensation using navigator echo gave the improved visualization of SWI in cervical spinal cord compared to non-compensated images. Before compensation, images were influenced by artificial noise from motion in both the superior (QI = 0.031) and inferior (QI = 0.043) regions. In most parts of the superior regions, the second navigator resulted in better quality (QI = 0.024, P < 0.01) compared to the first navigator, but in the inferior regions the first navigator showed better quality (QI = 0.033, P < 0.01) after correction. Conclusion: Motion compensation using a double navigator method can increase the improvement of the SWI in the cervical spinal cord. The proposed method makes SWI a useful tool for the diagnosis of spinal cord injury by reducing respiratory-induced artifact.

The development of AI systems for radiation therapy is important to improve the accuracy, effectiveness, and safety of cancer treatment. The current system has the disadvantage of monitoring patients using CCTV, which can cause errors and mistakes in the treatment process, which can lead to misalignment of radiation. Developed the PMRP system, an AI automation system that uses depth cameras to measure patient's fine movements, segment patient's body into parts, align Z values of depth cameras with Z values, and transmit measured feedback to positioning devices in real time, monitoring errors and treatments. The need for such a system began because the CCTV visual monitoring system could not detect fine movements, Z-direction movements, and body part movements, hindering improvement of radiation therapy performance and increasing the risk of side effects in normal tissues. This study could provide the development of a field of radiotherapy that lags in many parts of the world, along with the economic and social importance of developing an independent platform for radiotherapy devices. This study verified its effectiveness and efficiency with data through phantom experiments, and future studies aim to help improve treatment performance by improving the posture correction mechanism and correcting left and right up and down movements in real time.

정량적인 PET 영상에서는 감쇠보정이 매우 중요하며 가장 정확한 방법은 투과스캔을 관심부위에 실시하여 측정된 감쇠보정영상을 만들고, 이를 같은 부위에서 실시한 방출 영상의 재구성에 적용하는 것이다. 기존의 방법은 투과스캔 후에 추적자가 섭취되기까지 장시간이 경과된 후 방출스캔을 하므로 PET스캐너의 효율적 사용에 제한이 있었다. 따라서, 스캔시간을 단축하고 촬영중 환자가 움직일 가능성을 최소화시켜 영상의 질을 개선하고 PET스캐너의 효율을 높이기 위하여, 추적자를 주사한 후 투과 및 방출스캔을 동시에 실시하여, 투과스캔에서의 측정치를 왜곡시키는 방출계수를 빼주는 T+E 감쇠보정 방법을 실행하였다. 배후에는 F-l8 fluoride ion $0.4{\mu}Ci/cc$의 방사능을 가진 물을 실린더 모형(5750 cc)에 채우고, 목적물을 나다내는 1개의 삽입물 실린더(276 cc)에는 F-18 fluoride ion $4.3{\mu}Ci/cc$의 방사능을 주입하고 공기를 주입한 삽입물 실린더와 테플론으로 이루어진 삽입물 실린더를 사용하여 T+E 방법의 특성을 고찰하였다. 투과용선원으로 Ge-68(10 mCi) 회전 핀선원을 사용하여 5시간 동안에 T+E 스캔을 5분, 10분, 20분, 방출스캔을 20분씩 교대로 5차례 실행하여 투과 및 방출영상이 최종 방출영상에 미치는 오차를 측정하였다. T+E 스캔으로 감쇠보정한 방출영상과 기준 투과영상으로 감쇠보정한 방출영상을 비교하면, 목적물의 방사능이 $1.0{\mu}Ci/cc$일 경우 T+E 감쇠보정 방법의 오차는 2.6%이었으며 이 오차는 목적물의 방사능이 줄어들수록 더욱 감소하였다. 또한, T+E 방법으로 구성된 방출영상의 노이즈는 기준 투과스캔 방법으로 보정된 영상에 비하여 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러므로, 회전 핀선원과 투과 및 방출 동시 영상 방법을 사용하여 정확한 감쇠보정을 할 수 있었으며 이 방법은 임상 PET 영상에서 환자당 스캔시간을 줄임으로써, 환자의 움직임으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 오차를 최소화하여 PET 스캐너의 효율을 높일 수 있었다.

이동 객체 검출은 입력 영상에서 배경과 다른 전경 객체를 찾는 것을 말하는 것으로 지능 영상 감시, HCI, 객체 기반 영상 압축 등의 여러 영상 처리 응용 분야에서 필요한 과정이다. 기존의 이동 객체 검출 알고리즘은 상당한 계산량을 요구하여 다채널 영상 감시 응용, 또는 임베디드 시스템에서의 단일 채널의 실시간 응용에 사용하는 데 애로가 많다. 보다 정확한 이동 객체 검출을 위하여 필요한 과정인 전경 마스크 정정은 보통 열림, 닫힘 등의 모폴로지 연산을 통해 수행된다. 모폴로지 연산은 계산량이 적지 않고 게다가 프로세싱 방법이 달라 이동 객체 검출의 다음 단계인 연결 요소 레이블링 루틴과 동시에 처리되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 모폴로지 연산과는 달리 연결 요소 레이블링 루틴에서 사용되는 주변 픽셀 점검 과정을 활용한 전경 마스크 정정 알고리즘인 "주변 전경 픽셀 전파"을 고안하고, 이를 활용하여 전경 마스크 정정과 연결 요소 레이블링이 동시에 수행될 수 있는 이동 객체 검출 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해, 제안된 이동 객체 검출 방법이 기존의 모폴로지 연산을 사용한 방법 보다 정확하게 이동 객체를 검출하였으며, 대상 실험 영상 프레임 및 비디오에 대해서는 최소 4배 이상 신속하게 처리됨을 확인하였다.

The success of target reconstruction in SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) imaging system is greatly dependent on the coherent detection. Primary causes of incoherent detection are uncompensated target or sensor motion, random turbulence in propagation media, wrong path in radar platform, and etc. And these appear as multiplicative phase error to the echoed signal, which consequently, causes fatal degradations such as fading or dislocation of target image. In this paper, we present iterative phase error estimation scheme which uses echoed data in all temporal frequencies. We started with analyzing wave equation for one point target and extend to overall echoed data from the target scene - The two wave equations governing the SAR signal at two temporal frequencies of the radar signal are combined to derive a method to reconstruct the complex phase error function. Eventually, this operation attains phase error correction algorithm from the total received SAR signal. We verify the success of the proposed algorithm by applying it to the simulated spotlight-mode SAR data.

In the present work transformation of dimensionless heat diffusion equation for the solution of moving boundary problems have been formulated. The formulation is based on 1-D, 2-D and 3-D, unsteady heat diffusion equations. These equations are rst turned int dimensionless form by using dimensionless quantities and their transformation was formulated in liquid and solid phases. The salient feature of this work is that during the transformation of dimensionless heat diffusion equation there arises a convective term $\tilde{v}$ which is responsible for the motion of interface in liquid as well as solid phase. In the transformed heat equation, a correction factor $\beta$ also arises naturally which gives the correct transformed flux at interface.

This study deals with the viability of using a designed geometrical model consists of plane, polar coordinates (PC) and span length in the determination of bridges deformation. The data of a Tianjin Yonghe bridge located in the southern part of China as collected by RTK-DGPS technique and Accelerometer were used in the analysis. Kalman filter and fast Fourier transformation (FFT) analyses were used to determine the frequency. The results indicate that the designed plane and PC geometrical model are easy to calculate the long-time structural deformation monitoring. In addition, the observed frequency using GPS with the rate of 20 Hz doesn't give correction natural frequency of the observation structures.

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the bending and free vibration behavior of functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich rectangular plates using an efficient and simple higher order shear deformation theory. Unlike other theories, there are only four unknown functions involved, as compared to five in other shear deformation theories. The most interesting feature of this theory is that it does not require the shear correction factor. Two common types of FGM sandwich plates are considered, namely, the sandwich with the FGM facesheet and the homogeneous core and the sandwich with the homogeneous facesheet and the FGM core. The equation of motion for the FGM sandwich plates is obtained based on Hamilton's principle. The closed form solutions are obtained by using the Navier technique. A static and free vibration frequency is given for different material properties. The accuracy of the present solutions is verified by comparing the obtained results with the existing solutions.
