흉부 디지털 단층합성(chest digital tomosynthesis, CDT) 검사 시 관전압 및 감도(sensitivity) 변화에 의한 선량감소 효과와 정량적 평가로 선량 최적화 조건을 평가하고자 한다. 관전압 125 kV, 135 kV 설정에 따른 sensitivity 200, 320, 400 변화하여 팬텀의 CDT 영상을 획득하였다. 감도와 관전압 변화 따른 선량과 면적선량(DAP)을 평가하였다. 화질평가는 최대신호 대 잡음비(PSNR), 대조도 대 잡음비(CNR), 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)를 image J를 이용하여 분석하였다. 선량은 14~23%, 면적선량은 13~26% 정도 sensitivity 200, 125 kV에 비해 측정치가 낮아졌고, sensitivity 가 높아짐에 따라 감소율 커짐을 알 수 있었다. PSNR은 27dB 이상으로 모두 의미 있는 수치였고, CNR, SNR은 sensitivity가 낮을수록 우수했으나, 항목마다 통계의 유의성은 달랐다. CNR과 SNR 모두 sensitivity 320, 135 kV가 sensitivity 200, 125 kV와 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p>0.05). CDT는 감도, 관전압과 디지털 촬영의 장비의 장점인 보정능력을 이용하여 더 작은 선량으로 화질을 유지 시킬 수 있다.

Background: Red ginseng has been found to improve ocular perfusion and dry eye syndrome in glaucomatous eyes; however, its effects on visual function and vision-related quality of life have not been investigated. This study sought to evaluate the effects of red ginseng on visual function and vision-related quality of life in glaucoma patients using contrast sensitivity and a questionnaire. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to two groups in this prospective, randomized, double-blind study: in one group, red ginseng was taken first, followed by a placebo, and in the other, placebo was taken first, followed by red ginseng. We measured and compared changes in contrast sensitivity and vision-related quality of life between the two groups. Contrast sensitivity was measured using OPTEC® 6500P, and vision-related quality of life was evaluated using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire. One-way and two-way repeated measure analyses of variance were used for the comparison. Relationships between respective changes in dry eye syndrome and contrast sensitivity were also analyzed. Results: Daytime contrast sensitivity and ocular pain improved after the administration of red ginseng. Nighttime contrast sensitivity was improved in early or moderate glaucoma. Improved contrast sensitivity was not associated with improvement in dry eye syndrome. Conclusion: Red ginseng could improve contrast sensitivity and ocular pain in patients with glaucoma. The mechanism underlying improvement in contrast sensitivity appears to be associated with enhanced retinal perfusion or retinal ganglion cell function, but not dry eye syndrome.

This study was intended to investigate the influences that consumer's price sensitivity, bundle discount type, and price level of the male cosmetics have on consumer attitude. The design of this research was comprised of $2{\times}2{\times}2$ mixed design studies. The first element was high price sensitivity vs. low sensitivity, the second element was the bundle discount type (mixed leader vs. mixed-joint), and the third element was the price level of male cosmetics (high-price brand vs. low-price brand). The results of this study showed that price sensitivity, bundle discount type and price level of male cosmetic had a statistically significant interaction effect on the consumer's quality perception. The quality perception of low-cost brands for high price sensitivity/mixed-joint bundle group was low. The quality perception of low-cost brands for mixed-leader bundled groups did not change significantly even when the price sensitivity became higher. However, it can be seen as the same result that the overall value is higher when suggested the price information in Mixed-leader bundle than Mixed-joint bundle. In particular, this study suggests that price information should be presented in mixed-leader bundles for high price sensitivity and low cast brands.

본 논문은 FCS(foveated contrast sensitivity)를 이용한 인지품질 기반 비디오 코딩 방법을 제안한다. CS(contrast sensitivity)를 이용한 기존의 인지품질 기반 비디오 코딩 방법은 공간주파수에 따라 시각적 인지능력이 달라지는 인간시각체계(HVS, human visual system)의 특징을 이용하여 비디오 압축 시 인지품질의 손상을 최소화하며, FM(foveated masking)을 이용한 방법에서는 HVS의 중심시(central vision) 와 주변시(peripheral vision)의 차를 이용한다. 본 연구에서는, 정신물리학 실험을 통하여 기존의 DCT(discrete cosine transform)기반 JND(Just-noticeable difference) 모델과 FM이 서로 의존성을 갖고 동시에 고려된 새로운 FCS 모델을 제안하였고, 이를 HM10.0 부호화기에 적용하여 인지품질기반 부호화를 수행하였다. 제안된 방법으로 부호화된 영상은 인지품질 관점에서 동일한 화질을 유지하면서 평균 10%의 비트율 감소를 보였다.

There has been a growing interest toward railroad conjunction with opening of high-speed rail in 2004 and concurrent implementation of nation's green growth policies. Meanwhile, users' expectation on service of public transportation, especially railroad has been growing than since ever due to heightened quality of life, entering aging society, voice of equity for minorities, and greater interest in environments of communities. In order to come up with the expectations, actual improvements for user's convenience/comfort and its assessment strategies in terms of service quality level are necessary. This study defines the index of this aspect of service level as 'Sensitivity Quality'. This is conceived as one of the important factors to define travel cost as do the travel time and fare, but hardly taken into consideration when assessing a transportation system or policy-making for a transportation project. The elements included for the assessment of the sensitivity quality in this study are feeling of a ride, conformability and convenience what users feel and recognize using a train. This paper suggests that establishing sensitivity quality elements would contribute in foundation of assessing service quality and provide improved public transportation services through their scientific and objective development and management.

As product quality is maily determined in the product design and process design step, systematic design should be performed through parameter design and tolerance design. Therefore, we introduced analysis of variance and regression analysis as a statistical method which determine optimal levels of affective design factors to product characteristics, then we compared that process and result. In analysis of variance, variation of quality characteristics arises from noise factors, so the optimal levels of design factors are selected to minimize the effect of noise factors. In regression analysis, variation of quality characteristics aries from variation of each own design factors. As a method to reduce variation of these quality characteristics, sensitivity analysis was performed about each design factors. Through this sensitivity analysis, we represented process to calculate the interaction term of the factors.
