  • 게임 콘솔에서부터 TV, 그리고 헐리우드 영화에 이르기까지 3D 렌더링 테크놀러지는 많은 분야에 쓰이고 있다. 컴퓨터로 이미지를 렌더링하는 방법은 90년대 후반까지는 Phong Shading을 위주로 하는 Rasterization 방식의 렌더링이 주를 이루었으며 이 방식은 최근에까지 영화나 극장용 애니메이션의 렌더링에 주력으로 쓰여 왔다. 21세기에 들어서는 레이 트레이싱(Ray Tracing)과 그 발전형인 글로벌 일루미네이션(Global Illumination)이 사실감과 퀄러티로 대두되면서 건축 렌더링부터 시장을 점유해갔으나, 글로벌 일루미네이션은 극장용 애니메이션이나 영화에 주력으로 사용되기에는 렌더링 시간이 비현실적으로 느린 경우가 많았다. 따라서 본 논문은 각 렌더링 방식의 개념적, 수학적 이해를 살펴본 후 앰비언트 어클루전(Ambient Occlusion)의 함수를 Rasterization방식에서 사용하는 Illumination Loop 식에 접목시켜서 글로벌 일루미네이션처럼 다양한 색의 조명을 반영하면서도 Rasterization처럼 빨리 렌더링 할 수 있는 알고리즘 수식과 이 수식을 사용한 RenderMan Shader 사용 예를 제시하였다. 이는 글로벌 일루미네이션이 나타낼 수 있는 사실적인 표현, 그리고 Rasterization방식의 빠른 속도, 이 두 가지 렌더링 방식의 장점만을 조합하여 짧은 렌더 타임을 유지하면서도 쉽게 좋은 퀄러티를 얻을 수 있는 새로운 개념으로써 이러한 방법은 이후 애니메이션이나 영화 VFX 제작에 있어서 제작비의 절감과 함께 좀 더 완성도 있는 결과물을 만들어 내는 역할을 할 수 있는 계기가 되길 바란다.

  • 본 논문에서는 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)를 이용하여 JPEG2000 정지영상 압축 알고리즘의 DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) 연산을 고속으로 수행하기 위한 효율적인 구조와 방법을 제안한다. DWT 연산은 JPEG2000에서 EBCOT (embedded block coding with optimized truncation)과 더불어 많은 계산 량을 소모하는 부분이기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 DWT 알고리즘을 GPU의 화소 쉐이더에서 고속으로 수행하기 위하여 Render-To-Texture (RTT)를 활용한 구조를 설계하였다. 실제 구현을 통해 비슷한 등급의 CPU에서의 처리에 비해 DWT 자체는 10배 이상의 수행 속도의 향상을, 기존의 JPEG2000 참조 소프트웨어인 JasPer의 DWT를 대치하였을 때 2$\sim$16배의 수행 속도의 향상을 보였으며 해상도가 증가할수록 향상 폭이 크다. 본 논문에서 제시된 프레임 버퍼 객체(Frame Buffer Object)를 이용한 render-to-texture 수행 구조는 GPU 기반 영상처리의 기본 틀을 제공하며, 이를 응용하여 일반적인 영상처리와 컴퓨터 비전 처리를 GPU 상에서 고속 수행할 수 있다.

  • The man-machine interface Is an important factor in the computer system, and it is thought that line-of-sight (LOS) detection technology will allow significant advances in this field. Techniques for detecting LOS for use in human interfaces have been studied[1][2]. In earlier studies, however, LOS was detected with a head piece, goggles, or through fixing the position of the head. The limitations imposed by these fixed conditions render them unsuitable far use in interfaces, as they have adverse mental or physical effects on humans. Therefore. they have not been sufficiently developed for practical application. Research on non-contact LOS detection is expected to result in a usable LOS man-machine interface[3][4], and the current study is intended to be a step in that direction. The authors used color contact lenses for LOS detection, and applied this new method to a computer interface. The use of color contact lenses simplifies image processing. The algorithm used in this study is sufficiently accurate for practical applications. This technique can be used in input devices, in virtual reality applications, and in human engineering research.

  • Issues related to the control of seizures and bleeding, as well as behavioral management due to mental retardation, render dental treatment less accessible or impossible for patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). A 41-year-old man with SWS visited a dental clinic for rehabilitation of missing dentition. A bilateral port-wine facial nevus and intraoral hemangiomatous swollen lesion of the left maxillary and mandibular gingivae, mucosa, and lips were noted. The patient exhibited extreme anxiety immediately after injection of a local anesthetic and required various dental treatments to be performed over multiple visits. Therefore, full-mouth rehabilitation over two visits with general anesthesia and two visits with target-controlled intravenous infusion of a sedative anesthesia were planned. Despite concerns regarding seizure control, bleeding control, and airway management, no specific complications occurred during the treatments, and the patient was satisfied with the results.

  • On recognizing the significance of Walter Benjamin's "The Task of a Translator" in recent discourses of postcolonial cultural translation, this essay examines the creative postcolonialist appropriations of Benjamin's theory of translation and their political implications. In an effort to dismantle the imperialist political hierarchy between the West and the non-West, modernity and its "primitive" others, which has been the operative premise of the traditional translation studies and anthropology, newly emergent discourses of cultural translation actively adopts Benjamin's notion of translation that does not prioritize the original text's claim on authenticity. Benjamin theorizes each text-translation as well as the original-as an incomplete representation of the pure language. Eschewing formalistic views propounded by deconstructionist critics like Paul de Man, who tend to regard Benjamin's notion of the untranslatable purely in terms of the failure inherent in the language system per se, such postcolonialist critics as Tejaswini Niranjana, Rey Chow, and Homi Bhabha, each in his/her unique way, recuperate the significatory potential of historicity embedded in Benjamin's text. Their further appropriation of the concept of the "untranslatable" depends on a radically political turn that, instead of focusing on the failure of translation, salvages historical as well as cultural potentiality that lies between disparate cultural entities, signifying differences, or disjunctures, that do not easily render themselves to existing systems of representation. It may therefore be concluded that postcolonial discourses on cultural translation of Niranhana, Chow, and Bhabha, inspired by Benjamin, each translate the latter's theory into highly politicized understandings of translation, and this leads to an extensive rethinking of the act of translation itself to include all forms of cultural exchange and communicative activities between cultures. The disjunctures between these discourses and Benjamin's text, in that sense, enable them to form a sort of theoretical constellation, which aspires to an impossible yet necessary utopian ideal of critical thinking.

  • I. Introduction: In management control, business analysis has to do with a performance evaluation and is accounted much of manager's decision making, Business indicator accounting is the vehicle of decision making and also feedback can be accomplished by it. This study is to build up a logic about what capacity for use the business indicator accounting has in making decision. Therefore it is significant to make clear the adjustment of decision and to study the function of business indicator. II. Adjustment of Decision and Accounting Work: Adjustment of decision is connected with accounting now that business indicator accounting has a function of decision making. And it should be tied up with specialization as a structure of system, organization, communication and stage system. III. Adjustment of Decision and Managerial Accounting: Managerial account makes a great contributin to the management in which each adjustment of decision should be accomplished. Let me make mention of how the adjustment of decision is accomplished concretely, and what contribution che managerial accounting makes. In an adjustment of decision, centralization and decentrialization of enterprise are very import and I think the three problems, such as the extent of sphere (procurement, production and maketing), the face of affairs (planning, implementing and controlling), the final surge (decision making and action) can be accomplished by the business indicator accounting. IV. Structure of System and Disciplinary Approach for Decision: Decision can be classified into syncronized decision and continuous decision, and is closely connected with centralization and decentralization. In the course of systematizing, the sort of decision is classified into a man in charge of decision, and object of decision, conditions of decision, and an adjusting of decision. For it's object, it has an analogical thinking and an analytic subdivision about the target area. And it is premised on getting a scientific understanding. I think a disciplinary approach remains in solving these intricate problems. V. Conclusion: In this study I dealt with a specialization as a structure in management system and a theory that adjustment is a necessary process in decision making. For an adjustment of decision, exchanging informations and communication are necessary, and accounting is in charge of the process. And then the centralization and decentralization of decision should be connected in the way of adjustment of decision. In case of decentralization, the adjustment of decision is accomplished by the exchanging informations through feedback, and in case of centralization, by the all-round planning. And also I found that syncronized decision and decentralized decision are linked together. It is natural that the function of business indicator accounting is called for to render more services for it. Therefore, according to the extent of centralization and decentralization accounting to adjust the decision, can be various. Consequently, in relation to the structure of system. I think it is necessary to make a theoretical and empirical study of the business indicator accounting.

  • This study was performed to develop a useful nerve conduit which provides favorable environment for Schwann cell viability and proliferation. Milipore membrane of $0.45{\mu}m$ pore size was selected because it permits nutritional inflow from the outside of the conduit and prevents from invading the fibrotic tissue into the conduit. The membrane was rolled and sealed to form a conduit of 2mm diameter and 20mm length. To improve the axonal regeneration and to render better environment for endogenous and exogenous Schwann cell behaviour, the microgeometry and surface of conduit was modified by coating with thin film of calcium phosphate. Cellular viability within the conduit and attachment to its wall were assessed with MTT assay and SEM study. Milipore filter conduit showed significantly higher rate of Schwann cell attachment and viability than the culture dish. However, the reverse was true in case of fibroblast. Coating with thin film of low crystalline calcium phosphate made more favorable environment for both cells with minimal change of pore size. These findings means the porous calcium phosphate coated milipore nerve conduit can provide much favorable environment for endogenous Schwann cell proliferation and exogenous ones, which are filled within the conduit for the more advanced strategy of peripheral nerve regeneration, with potential of reducing fibrotic tissue production.

  • 'The worstest environment disaster', 'World's first biocide massacre', 'Home-based Sewol ferry disaster' are all phrases attached to the recent humidifier disinfectant disaster. In the spring of 2011, four of 8 pregnant women including 1 adult man passed away at a university hospital in Seoul due to breathing failure. Epidemiologic investigation conducted by the Korean CDC soon revealed the inhalation of humidifier disinfectant, which had been widely used in Korea during the winter, to be responsible for the disease. As well as lung fibrosis hardening of the lungs, other diseases including asthma, rhinitis, skin disease, liver disease, fetal disease or cancers have been researched for their relation with exposure to the products. By February 9, 2017, 5,342 cases had registered for health problems and 1,131 of them were already dead (20.8% mortality rate). Based on studies by government agencies and a telephone survey of the general population by Seoul National University and civic groups, around 20% of the general public of Korea has used these products. Since the market release of the first product by SK Chemical in 1994, over 7.1 million items from around 20 brands were sold up to 2011. Most of the products were manufactured by well-known large conglomerates such as SK, Lotte, Samsung, Shinsegye, LG, and GS, as well as some European companies including UK-based Reckitt Benckiser and TESCO, the German firm Henkel, the Danish firm KeTox, and an Irish company. Even though this disaster was unveiled in 2011 by the Korean government, the issue of the victims was neglected for over five years. In 2016, an unexpected but intensive investigation by prosecutors found that Reckitt Benckiser manipulated and concealed animal tests for its own brand and brought several university experts and company employees to court. The matter was an intense social issue in Korea from May to June with a surge in media coverage. The prosecutor's investigation and a nationwide boycott campaign organized by victims and environmental groups against Reckitt Benckiser, whose product had been used by more than 70% of victims, led to the producer's official apology and a compensation scheme. A legislative investigation organized after the April 2016 national election revealed the producers' faults and the government's responsibility, but failed to meet expectations. A special law for the victims passed the National Assembly in January 2017 and a punitive system together with a massive environmental epidemiology investigation are expected to be the only solutions for this tragedy. Sciences of medicine, toxicology and environmental health have provided decisive evidence so far, but for the remaining problems the perspectives of social sciences such as sociology and jurisprudence are highly necessary, similar to with the Minamata disease and Wonjin Rayon events. It may not be easy to follow this issue using unfamiliar terminology from medical and chemical science and the long, complicated history of the event. For these reasons the author has attempted to write this article in a question and answer format to render it easier to follow. The 17 questions are: Q1 What is humidifier disinfectant? Q2 What kind of health problems are caused by humidifier disinfectant? Q3 How many victims are there? Q4 What is the analysis of the 1,112 cases of death? Q5 What is the problem with the government's diagnostic criteria and the solution? Q6 Who made what brands? Q7 Has there been a recall? What is still on sale? Q8 Was safety not checked by any producers? Q9 What are the government's responsibilities? Q10 Is it true that these products were sold only in Korea? Q11 Why and how was it unveiled only in 2011 after 17 years of sales? Q12 What delayed the resolution of the victim issue? Q13 What is the background of the prosecutor's investigation in early 2016? Q14 Is it possible to report new victim cases without evidence of product purchase? Q15 What is happening with the victim issue? Q16 How does it compare with the cases of Minamata disease and Wonjin Rayon? Q17 Are there prevention measures and lessons?

  • 석정은 근대계몽기라는 위기의 시대에 문장보국을 실현하고자 한 지식인이다. 그는 주로 역사 인물에 대한 평가를 통해서 자신의 현실 인식을 표출하였다. 그는 "유고"에 "논어"에 대한 <논어 10문 10답>이라는 글을 남겼다. 이는 학생들과의 수업 교재로 활용하고자 작성되었던 것으로 보인다. 본고에서는 이 <논어 10문 10답>에 드러난 석정의 논어 인식과 그것의 학습 방향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그는 "논어"의 핵심 사항인 인(仁)에 대해 '사람다움이나 사랑'의 일반적 관점이 아닌, 호인유폐(好仁有蔽)와 관과지인(觀過知仁)의 관점에서 반성적 성찰의 시대인식을 보였다. 인(仁)과 덕(德)에 대해서는 공통분모를 가지고 전체적인 관점에서 파악하고자 한다. 이에는 당시 열강에 대한 정확한 인식이 필요하다는 석정의 생각이 반영되었다 할 것이다. 군자와 명(命)의 관계에는 군자는 질서를 바로잡을 수 있는 인재로서 명(命)을 알기 위한 부단한 노력이 필요하다는 의식이 담겨 있다. 학습의 방향은 크게 종입지방, 군자지류, 수문이해로 살펴보았다. 종입지방은 학습자의 특성에 따라 단점을 보완해 주는 방향을 취하고 있으며, 오늘날과 같은 지식의 습득이 아닌 도덕적 실천에 학습의 중점을 두고 있다. 군자는 크게 3단계로 나누었지만 이는 어디까지나 학습자의 이해를 돕기 위한 기준을 마련한 것이지, 모든 제자들을 이에 맞추어 분류할 수는 없다. 수문이해는 문장에 따른 적합한 풀이이다. 동일한 개념을 "사서"에서 달리 주석한 이유를 석정은 '소시소절 필착필섬(所始所切, 必着必贍)'의 원칙을 가지고 문맥에 따라 강조점을 둔 것이지, 뜻이 다르지 않다고 밝히고 있다.
