In this study, measuring eye movements with E.O.G. to targets beyond 20$^{\circ}$ from fixation point, results are as follows. (1) When the eyes turn toward targets of more than 20$^{\circ}$ eccentricity, the first saccadic eye movement falls short of the target. The presence of image of the target off the fovea(visual error signal) subsequent to such an undershoot elicits, after short interval, corrective saccadic eye movements(usually one) which place the image of the target on the fovea. (2) There are different programming modes at retina for eye movement to targets within and beyond 20$^{\circ}$ from the fixation point. (3) Saccadic system, preparing the direction and amplitude of eye movement completes the corrective saccadic eye movements. (4) Distribution of latency and intersaccadic interval(I.S.I.)are frequently multi modal, with a seperation between modes of 25[msec]. (5) There are two types of saccadic eye movements for the double-step targets. This fact suggests that the visual information is sampled stochastically. (6) The new model of saccadic system including the dissociation of visual functions dependent on retinal eccentricity is required.

We propose a precise 3D endoscopic technique for medical and industrial applications. As the 3D measuring principle, the continuously scanning structured illumination microscopy (CSSIM), which enables to obtain 3D sectional images by the synchronous axial scanning of the target with the lateral scanning of the sinusoidal pattern, is adopted. In order to reduce the size of the probe end, the illumination and detection paths of light are designed as coaxial and a coherent imaging fiber bundle is used for transferring the illumination pattern to the target and vice versa. We constructed and experimentally verified the proposed system with a gauge block specimen. As the result, it was confirmed that the 3D surface profile was successfully measured with $16.1{\mu}m$ repeatability for a gauge block specimen. In order to improve the contrast of the sinusoidal illumination pattern reflected off on the target, we used polarizing optical components and confirmed that the visibility of the pattern was suitable in CSSIM.

A modular platform development technique was proposed to minimize development cost and development period by utilizing the already developed unmanned Aerial target AVT, which has been operated and verified for many years. New Mission Profile was designed and structural analysis was performed through finite element analysis (FEA) by analyzing mission requirements for visual short-range, non-visible mid-range, and long-range targets. The targets are used for guided missile anti-aircraft training. In addition, avionics systems including flight control computers for autonomous flights were developed to verify their conformance by performing launcher take-off tests with rapid acceleration changes and autonomous flight tests at a maximum speed of 300km per hour.

Meeting the touchdown point (TDP) target box is one of the challenges during catenary riser installation, especially for deep water or ultra-deep water riser systems. TDP location mismatch compared to the design can result in variation of riser configuration, additional hang-off misalignment, and extra bending loads going into the hang-off porch. A good understanding of the key installation parameters can help to minimize this mismatch, and ensure that the riser global response meets the design criteria. This paper focuses on investigating the potential factors that may affect the touchdown point location, and addressing the challenges both in the design stage and during installation campaign. Conventionally, the vessel offset and current are the most critical factors which may affect the TDP movement during installation. With the offshore exploration going deeper and deeper in the sea (up to 10,000ft), other sources such as the seabed slope and seabed soil stiffness are playing an important role as well. The impacts of potential sources are quantified through case studies for steel catenary riser (SCR) and lazy wave steel catenary riser (LWSCR) in deep water application. Investigations through both theoretical study and numerical validation are carried out. Furthermore, design recommendations are provided during execution phase for the TDP mismatch condition to ensure the integrity of the riser system.

This study was carried out to develop the control system with PLC and its operating software and to investigate its control ability of greenhouse environments. Two experimental greenhouses were controlled by PLC and ON/OFF controller, respectively. In greenhouse controlled by PLC, target values of air temperature, relative humidity and $CO_2$ concentration were automatically changed. In warm-water heating, the variation of air temperature was reduced to $\pm$ $0.6^{\circ}C$ by the method of proportional-integration(PI) control with an inverter. In ventilation, the variation of air temperature was reduced, since windows open and close with multistage by mutual relation formula among the target, indoor, and outdoor temperature. Relative humidity at daytime was maintained with range of 35% to 55% by PLC controlled fogger. $CO_2$ concentration was automatically controlled from 300 to 800 $\mu$molㆍ$mol^{-1}$ according to amount of solar radiation. The suppling amount and frequency of nutrient solution were controlled by total integrated solar radiation. Difference in the yield of cucumber in the greenhouse controlled by PLC and by ON/OFF controller was not significant at the 5% level.

Purpose: Evaluation of atmospheric conditions for proper timing of spray application is important to prevent off-target movement of crop protection materials. Susceptible crops can be damaged downwind if proper application procedure is not followed. In our previous study, hourly data indicated unfavorable conditions, primarily between evening 18:00 hrs in the evening and 6:00 hrs next morning, during clear conditions in the hot summer months in the Mississippi delta. With the requirement of timely farm operations, sub-hourly data are required to provide better guidelines for pilots, as conditions of atmospheric stability can change rapidly. Although hourly data can be interpolated to some degree, finer resolution for data acquisition of the order of 15 min would provide pilots with more accurate recommendations to match the data recording frequency of local weather stations. Methods: In the present study, temperature and wind speed data obtained at a meteorological tower were re-sampled to calculate the atmospheric stability ratio for sub-hour and hourly recommendations. High-precision evaluation of temperature inversion periods influencing atmospheric stability was made considering strength, time of occurrence, and duration of temperature inversion. Results and Discussion: The results indicated that atmospheric stability could be determined at different time intervals providing consistent recommendations to aerial applicators, thereby avoiding temperature inversion with minimal off-target drift of the sprayed liquid.

본 연구에서는 전통적 자본구조 이론인 정태적 상충이론과 자본조달순위이론 뿐만 아니라 최근 새로 등장하고 있는 시장적시성이론의 타당성과 거시 경제변수가 자본구조에 미치는 영향을 종합적인 틀에서 분석하였다. 목표자본구조 결정과 자본조달 선택의 2단계 분석 결과, 자본구조의 특정이론이 일관성 있게 지지되기보다는 각 이론이 부분적으로 지지되는 결과가 나타났다. 1단계 목표자본구조 식의 추정에 있어서 기업 특성변수의 계수는 전반적으로 정태적 상충이론보다는 자본조달순위이론을 지지하였으나 2단계의 자본조달 선택요인의 분석에서는 정태적 상충이론에서 주장하듯 기업이 목표자본구조를 설정하고 이를 추구하는 경향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 자금이 부족한 기업일수록 회사채보다는 오히려 주식을 발행하는 경향이 강한 것으로 나타나 단순한 형태의 자본조달순위이론의 예측과는 부합하지 않았다. 그러나 주가가 상대적으로 고평가된 기업일수록 회사채보다 주식을 발행할 가능성이 높게 나타나 시장적시성이론이 지지되는 결과를 보였다. 한편 본 연구에서는 Korajczyk and Levy(2003)와 달리 기간 스프레드와 신용 스프레드 등 거시경제 변수가 자본구조 결정에 미치는 영향은 미미하였고, 재무적 제약이 있는 기업보다 재무적 제약이 없는 기업이 자본조달 시기를 조절할 수 있기 때문에 거시경제 변수나 시장 적시성 변수의 영향이 더 클 것이라는 그들의 주장을 지지하는 직접적 증거도 발견되지 않았다.

Dynamic conformal arc therapy (DCAT) and flattening-filter-free (FFF) beams are commonly adopted for efficient conformal dose delivery in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Off-axis geometry (OAG) may be necessary to obtain full gantry rotation without collision, which has been shown to be beneficial for peripheral targets using flattened beams. In this study dose distributions in OAG using FFF were evaluated and the effect of mechanical rotation induced uncertainty was investigated. For the lateral target, OAG evaluation, sphere targets (2, 4, and 6 cm diameter) were placed at three locations (central axis, 3 cm off-axis, and 6 cm off-axis) in a representative patient CT set. For each target, DCAT plans under the same objective were obtained for 6X, 6FFF, 10X, and 10FFF. The parameters used to evaluate the quality of the plans were homogeneity index (HI), conformality indices (CI), and beam on time (BOT). Next, the mechanical rotation induced uncertainty was evaluated using five SBRT patient plans that were randomly selected from a group of patients with laterally located tumors. For each of the five cases, a plan was generated using OAG and CAG with the same prescription and coverage. Each was replanned to account for one degree collimator/couch rotation errors during delivery. Prescription isodose coverage, CI, and lung dose were evaluated. HI and CI values for the lateral target, OAG evaluation were similar for flattened and unflattened beams; however, 6FFF provided slightly better values than 10FFF in OAG. For all plans the HI and CI were acceptable with the maximum difference between flattened and unflattend beams being 0.1. FFF beams showed better conformality than flattened beams for low doses and small targets. Variation due to rotational error for isodose coverage, CI, and lung dose was generally smaller for CAG compared to OAG, with some of these comparisons reaching statistical significance. However, the variations in dose distributions for either treatment technique were small and may not be clinically significant. FFF beams showed acceptable dose distributions in OAG. Although 10FFF provides more dramatic BOT reduction, it generally provides less favorable dosimetric indices compared to 6FFF in OAG. Mechanical uncertainty in collimator and couch rotation had an increased effect for OAG compared to CAG; however, the variations in dose distributions for either treatment technique were minimal.
