The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and importance of dietitians' role in order to provide basic information for an efficient foodservice management. This approach was achieved using a variety of quantitative and qualitative informations including general foodservice management, dietitian's role performance and importance. A survey of 453 office and factory foodservices was undertaken and detailed information was collected. Statistical analysis of data was performed using SAS package program for descriptive analysis, 1-test, $\chi$$^2$ test, and analysis of variance. The general characteristics of the dietitians were that 80.20% were aged between 20∼29 and 66.49 had work experience with less than 5 years. And 61.68% were graduated from college. The Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique was used for obtaining information of dietitian's foodservice management practices. By the results of the IPA technique, foodservice attributes with fair to poor performance and high impotance was service management for customer satisfaction. The average scores of dietitian's role performance and importance were 3.33 and 4.03 out of 5, respectively. Dietitians with work experience more than 10 years and aged more than 30 years old had more work performance than those.

Railroad bridges in North America are an integral but aging part of the railroad network and are typically only monitored using visual inspections. When quantitative information is required for assessment, railroads often monitor bridges using accelerometers. However without a sensor to directly measure displacements, it is difficult to interpret these results as they relate to bridge performance. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a non-contact sensor technology capable of directly measuring the displacement of any visible bridge component. In this research, a railroad bridge was monitored under load using DIC and accelerometers. DIC measurements are directly compared to serviceability limits and it is observed that the bridge is compliant. The accelerometer data is also used to calculate displacements which are compared to the DIC measurements to assess the accuracy of the accelerometer measurements. These measurements compared well for zero-mean lateral data, providing measurement redundancy and validation. The lateral displacements from both the accelerometers and DIC at the supports were then used to determine the source of lateral displacements within the support system.

최근 영상융합 기법의 품질평가를 위하여 다양한 방법이 제안되었다. 품질평가를 위한 일련의 과정들을 통틀어 프로토콜이라 정의되었으며, Wald's 프로토콜, QNR 프로토콜, Khan's 프로토콜 등의 다양한 품질평가 프로토콜이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 KOMPSAT-2/3/3A 위성영상을 활용하여 제시된 세 가지 품질평가 프로토콜을 각기 다른 융합 기법에 적용하였을 때 나타나는 결과를 비교하고, KOMPSAT 위성영상에의 활용가능성을 알아보는 한편 각 프로토콜의 장단점을 분석하였다. 이 때 기존의 연구와 달리 융합 영상의 품질이 시각적으로 뚜렷하게 구분되는 융합 기법을 사용하여 육안 분석을 통한 정성적 분석을 진행함과 동시에 각 품질평가 프로토콜을 통한 정량적 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 분광정보 보존의 측면과 공간 정보 보존의 측면에서 정성적 결과와 정량적 결과의 유사성을 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 각 프로토콜의 과정상 특징을 반영하는 결과를 나타내었다. Wald's 프로토콜의 경우 정성적/정량적 분석 결과가 동일하였으나, 프로토콜 수행 과정이 번거로우며 특히 영상의 공간해상도를 강제로 저하시킨 후 융합을 진행하여도 그 결과가 실제 공간해상도의 융합 결과와 동일하다는 전제를 가정하고 있다는 한계점이 존재하였다. QNR 프로토콜의 경우 원 영상의 융합 결과를 평가할 수 있다는 장점이 존재하였다. 그러나 분광정보 보존 분석 시 Wavelet 융합 결과의 aliasing 현상을 반영하지 못하는 등의 불안정성이 존재하여 프로토콜을 활용할 때 주의해야하는 단점이 있었다. Khan's 프로토콜의 경우 분광정보 보존 분석의 경우에 정성적/정량적 분석 결과가 Wavelet 융합 기법에서 일치하지 않았다. 이는 품질평가 시 공간해상도를 강제로 저하시킬 때 융합 영상의 품질이 변하여 발생하는 문제였다. 공간정보 보존 분석의 경우 Wald's 프로토콜의 한계점과 QNR 프로토콜의 단점을 모두 보완하여 품질평가를 수행하는 프로토콜이라 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (CE 3D) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-volume isotopic turbo spin echo acquisition (FLAIR-VISTA) for the diagnosis of Bell's palsy in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients (24 nerves) with unilateral acute facial nerve palsy underwent MRI from March 2014 through March 2015. The unaffected sides were included as a control group. First, for quantitative analysis, the signal intensity (SI) and relative SI (RSI) for canalicular, labyrinthine, geniculate ganglion, tympanic, and mastoid segments of the facial nerve on CE 3D FLAIR images were measured using regions of interest (ROI). Second, CE 3D FLAIR and CE T1-SE images were analyzed to compare their diagnostic performance by visual assessment (VA). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of RSI measurement and VA were compared. Results: The absolute SI of canalicular and mastoid segments and the sum of the five mean SI (total SI) were higher in the palsy group than in the control group, but with no significant differences. The RSI of the canalicular segment and the total SI were significantly correlated with the symptomatic side (P = 0.028 and 0.015). In 11/12 (91.6%) patients, the RSI of total SI resulted in accurate detection of the affected side. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting Bell's palsy were higher with RSI measurement than with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images, while those with VA of CE T1-SE images were higher than those with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using CE 3D FLAIR imaging can be useful for increasing the diagnostic performance in children with Bell's palsy when difficult to diagnose using VA alone. With regard to VA, the diagnostic performance of CE T1-SE imaging is superior to that of CE 3D FLAIR imaging in children. Further studies including larger populations are necessary.

Gated myocardial SPECT and attenuation correction gave birth to new insights into the pathophysiology of ischemic myocardial perfusion and function in clinical routine practice. Gated myocardial Tc-99m-compound SPECT improved diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease and enabled us to observe motion and thickening of myocardial walls as well as myocardial perfusion at the same time. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of myocardial performance and perfusion let us to understand the myocardial physiology in ischemia and infarction. In every patient who underwent gated perfusion SPECT, we will find ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes and regional wall motion. There are hopes to use gated TI-201 SPECT for the same purpose and to use gated SPECT for evaluation of wall motion and thickening at stress or immediate post-stress. Attenuation correction could improve diagnostic accuracy mainly by increasing normalcy ratio or performance of non-expert physicians. Both gated methods and attenuation correction improved specificity of non-expert physicians in diagnosing patients with moderate pretest likelihood. New imaging techniques will fill the desire of cardiologists to examine function and perfusion, and possibly metabolism in their clinical routine practice.

The purpose of the study was to develop evaluation methods which would measure student achievement and progress without traditional paper-pencil tests such as mid-term and final examinations. More specifically, the main research focus were to establish general directions of student assessment during free semester, to build evaluation models supporting student's participation and learning, and to report and record various student evaluation results. As research results, we found that student evaluation of free semester should be organized to improve a) experience learning activity, self-regulatory and collaboratory study, b) high-order thinking ability and character-building, and c) teacher-student-parent cooperation. Since traditional paper-pencil tests were restricted in free semester, student achievement should be provided by a way of performance descriptions on transcripts rather than quantitative grade points. Student performance descriptions had to show not only subject knowledge but also students efforts, motivation, and participation. These multiple and educationally meaningful information would be collected by teacher-student-parent communication and collaboration.

Currently, the naked eyes-based diagnosis of bone metastases on CT images relies on qualitative assessment. For this reason, there is a great need for a state-of-the-art approach that can assess and follow-up the bone metastases with quantitative biomarker. Radiomics can be used as a biomarker for objective lesion assessment by extracting quantitative numerical values from digital medical images. In this study, therefore, we evaluated the clinical applicability of non-invasive and objective bone metastases computer-aided diagnosis using radiomics-based biomarkers in CT. We employed a total of 21 approaches consist of three-classifiers and seven-feature selection methods to predict bone metastases and select biomarkers. We extracted three-dimensional features from the CT that three groups consisted of osteoblastic, osteolytic, and normal-healthy vertebral bodies. For evaluation, we compared the prediction results of the classifiers with the medical staff's diagnosis results. As a result of the three-class-classification performance evaluation, we demonstrated that the combination of the random forest classifier and the sequential backward selection feature selection approach reached AUC of 0.74 on average. Moreover, we confirmed that 90-percentile, kurtosis, and energy were the features that contributed high in the classification of bone metastases in this approach. We expect that selected quantitative features will be helpful as biomarkers in improving the patient's survival and quality of life.
