  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the reasons and solutions for intraoral phosphor storage plate (PSP) image artifacts and errors, and to develop an appropriate classification of the artifacts. Materials and Methods: This study involved the retrospective examination of 5,000 intraoral images that had been obtained using a phosphor plate system. Image artifacts were examined on the radiographs and classified according to possible causative factors. Results: Artifacts were observed in 1,822 of the 5,000 images. After examination of the images, the errors were divided into 6 groups based on their causes, as follows: images with operator errors, superposition of undesirable structures, ambient light errors, plate artifacts (physical deformations and contamination), scanner artifacts, and software artifacts. The groups were then re-examined and divided into 45 subheadings. Conclusion: Identification of image artifacts can help to improve the quality of the radiographic image and control the radiation dose. Knowledge of the basic physics and technology of PSP systems could aid to reduce the need for repeated radiography.

  • In Korea, a budget of tens of trillion won is put into the national R & D project every year. Thanks to these efforts, Korea's ICT industry is gaining global attention. However, there are still a lot of problems that are lacking in terms of the cycle of managing national ICT R&D projects. In particular, the issue of sharing is very insufficient throughout the cycle of the national ICT R&D. In this paper, In this paper, We propose a platfom that can be shared throughout the cycle of managing blockchain-based national ICT R&D projects. This platform we call the Perfect Sharing Project Platform (PSPP). We describe that PSPP can achieve excellent research results through information sharing of project process[1-2]. To support the perfect sharing, this platform uses a new notion of consensus algorithm, called POA (Proof of Atomicity). This platform is suitable for sharing information.

  • Film cooling effectiveness on a flat plate was measured with pressure sensitive paint. The pressure sensitive paint(PSP) changes the intensity of its emissive light with pressure and the characteristic was used in film cooling effectiveness measurement. The film coolants were air and nitrogen, and by comparing the intensity of PSP coated surface with each coolant, the film cooling effectiveness was calculated. Three blowing ratio of 0.5, 1, and 2 were tested with two mainstream turbulence intensities. Results clearly showed the effect of blowing ratio and mainstream turbulence intensity. As the blowing ratio increases, the film cooling effectiveness was decreased near the film cooling holes. However, the film cooling effectiveness far downstream from the injection hole was higher for higher blowing ratio. As the mainstream turbulence intensity increased, the film cooling effectiveness was decreased at far downstream from the injection hole.

  • The effect of freezing, thawing and blanching on the change of extractable pigment content of purple sweet potato (PSP) was investigated. Freezing at $-5^{\circ}C$ was more effective than freezing at $-20^{\circ}C\;or\;-40^{\circ}C$, and rapid thawing methods such as microwave heating or hat air blast heating were effective than slow thawing methods such as thawing at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;20^{\circ}C$. Inactivation of enzymes, which cause pigment destruction during thawing, by blanching before freezing was necessary to obtain the highest possible amount of extractable pigment from PSP. Microwave blanching for $3{\sim}4$ min or hot air blanching for $10{\sim}15$ min were effective in extracting pigment from PSP.

  • this study, three dimensional surface pressure distributions of SWIM whose main wing has NACA4412 airfoil with NACA0012 flaps were experimentally measured by pressure sensitive paint. Surface pressures on suction and pressure sides of the wing were measured by changing an angle of attack at a Reynolds number of 3.1x105 in KARI 1m subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental results showed that as an angle of attack increases minimum pressure region on a suction side moved from the wing root to the tip and low pressure region around trailing edge of the wing tip which causes wing tip vortex was observed. Although low pressure region at the tip still observed at an angle of attack 15 deg., other area on a suction side showed flat pressure distribution in a span-wise direction. It was also observed that the mean value of pressure coefficients was about 0.077 through a comparison between PSP and pressure taps at the same test conditions.

  • Experiments were carried out to control white-tip nematode, Aphelenchoides besseyi Christie, during the period just before transplanting. The experimental results were summarized as fellows: 1: From a 12-hr to a 24-hr sled-soaking application into 500 times dilutions of Malathion $80\%$ Ec, Sumithion $50\%$ EC and Lebaycid $50\%$ EC were highly effective than other emulsifierble concentrations of chemicals. 2) The water surface application of PSP-204 $5\%$ G, Diazinon $3\%$ G, Nemagon $20\%$ G and Terracurr-P $5\%$ G were effective. 3: Root·dipping application of Sumithion $50\%$ Ec, Lebaycid $50\%$ Ec and Nemagon $80\%$ Ec were more effective chemicals than others.

  • In this paper we propose a new software project development management model incorporating quality management to schedule management. Though many efficient techniques such as code review and inspection are used to remove defects, the effect of defect removal time on project schedule hasn't been studied much. However, poor quality management has an important effect upon overall schedule and sometimes software projects fails due to it. Thus, quality management and schedule management should be considered together and we need to reflect the time to maintain software quality into the schedule management. For the proposed model we introduced "Quality Value" representing the needed time to remove software defects. We assume PSP/TSP to gather the needed data for quality value. The proposed model can be used to predict the effect of software defects on schedule in advance and to prevent schedule lag.

  • Growth characteristics and changes of pigment content of purple sweet potato (PSP) during growth were investigated. Vine length of PSP was increased to the maximum length of 130 cm after 100 days of growth. Numbers of branches and nodes were increased to the maximum of 21and 550, respectively, after 120 days of growth. Vine weight was also increased to the maximum of 4,384 kg/10a after 120 days of growth, while the weight of marketable root was increased continuously to the end of the growth period of 150 days to reach the production of 1,875 kg/10a. Uniquely considerable amount of anthocyanin pigment has been developed in both skin and flesh of young roots harvested after 40 days of growth. The pigment content was increased slowly until 140 days of growth then decreased. This fact indicates that the best time for harvesting of PSP is 140 days after planting.

  • Purpose: To compare different radiographic methods for assessing endodontically treated teeth. Materials and Methods: Root canal treatments were applied in 120 extracted mandibular teeth, which were divided into four groups: (1) ideal root canal treatment (60 teeth), (2) insufficient lateral condensation (20 teeth), (3) root canals filled short of the apex (20 teeth), (4) overfilled root canal treatment (20 teeth). The teeth were imaged using intraoral film, panoramic film, digital intraoral systems (CCD and PSP), CCD obtained with portable X-ray source, digital panoramic, and CBCT images obtained at 0.3 $mm^3$ and 0.2 $mm^3$ voxel size. Images were evaluated separately by three observers, twice. Kappa coefficients were calculated. The percentage of correct readings obtained from each modality was calculated and compared using a t-test (p<0.05). Results: The intra-observer kappa for each observer ranged between 0.327 and 0.849. The inter-observer kappa for each observer for both readings ranged between 0.312 and 0.749. For the ideal root canal treatment group, CBCT with 0.2 $mm^3$ voxel images revealed the best results. For insufficient lateral condensation, the best readings were found with periapical film followed by CCD and PSP. The assessment of teeth with root canals filled short of the apex showed the highest percentage of correct readings by CBCT and CCD. For the overfilled canal treatment group, PSP images and conventional periapical film radiographs had the best scores. Conclusion: CBCT was found to be successful in the assessment of teeth with ideal root canal treatment and teeth with canals filled short of the apex.
