H.264/AVC에서 각 블록은 블록의 특성을 고려하여 적응적으로 양자화 파라미터(QP)를 선택하여 양자화를 수행한다면, 개선된 화질을 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 블록 기반의 적응적인 QP 선택 방법은 주변 블록들의 지그재그 스캔 된 정수 변환 계수의 비트량과 현재 블록의 QP 값 변화를 이용하여 화질을 개선하도록 제안된다. 제안된 방법은 QP 값의 변화를 디코더로 전송하지 않고, 인코더에서와 같은 방법으로 디코더에서 직접 처리한다. 제안된 방법의 실험 결과는 H.264/AVC에 비하여 대략 $0.1{\sim}0.3\;dB$ 정도의 성능 향상을 보인다.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the effectiveness of various methods for removing provisional cement from implant abutments, and what effect these methods have on the retention of prosthesis during the definitive cementation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty implant fixture analogues and abutments were embedded in resin blocks. Forty cast crowns were fabricated and divided into 4 groups each containing 10 implants. Group A was cemented directly with the definitive cement (Cem-Implant). The remainder were cemented with provisional cement (Temp-Bond NE), and classified according to the method for cleaning the abutments. Group B used a plastic curette and wet gauze, Group C used a rubber cup and pumice, and Group D used an airborne particle abrasion technique. The abutments were observed using a stereomicroscope after removing the provisional cement. The tensile bond strength was measured after the definitive cementation. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. Group B clearly showed provisional cement remaining, whereas the other groups showed almost no cement. Groups A and B showed a relatively smooth surface. More roughness was observed in Group C, and apparent roughness was noted in Group D. The tensile bond strength tests revealed Group D to have significantly the highest tensile bond strength followed in order by Groups C, A and B. CONCLUSION. A plastic curette and wet gauze alone cannot effectively remove the residual provisional cement on the abutment. The definitive retention increased when the abutments were treated with rubber cup/pumice or airborne particle abraded to remove the provisional cement.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-1 비디오 스트림이 여러 해상도 수준으로 재생될 수 있도록 디스크 배열에 대한 스트라이핑 기법이 제시된다. MPEG-1 압축 알고리즘에 대한 본 논문의 다단계 엔코딩 기법은 우선 원래의 비디오 스트림을 시간적 차원에서 분할한다. 분할된 서브스트림의 각 프레임은 색상 차원에서 저해상도용 컴포넌트와 잔여 컴포넌트로 다시 분리된다. 멀티미디어 서버는 라운드 로빈 방식으로 서로 다른 컴포넌트의 블록을 디스크에 연속하여 저장한다. 결과적으로 해상도 수준이 낮게 유지될수록 고객에 의해 액세스되는 디스크들의 수가 적어지게 된다. 즉 디스크 배열을 효과적으로 이용하고 동시에 서비스되는 고객들의 수를 최대화하기 위하여 제시된 스트라이핑 기법은 서브스트림의 컴포넌트들을 디스크에 인터리빙하여 저장한다. 제시된 스트라이핑 기법은 서버의 성능을 개선할 수 있으며 이는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 실험적으로 검증되고 분석된다.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16m 시스템에서 HARQ 피드백 정보를 이용한 ARQ 프로토콜 (HARQ and ARQ interactions)을 사용할 때 HARQ 피드백 오류가 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 또한, HARQ 피드백 오류를 고려한 새로운 HARQ and ARQ interactions 기법을 제안한다. HARQ and ARQ interactions 기법은 ARQ 피드백 메시지를 대신하여 HARQ 피드백 정보를 사용하여 재전송 시간을 단축함으로써 시스템 throughput을 증가시킨다. 그러나 HARQ 피드백 메시지에 오류가 발생하는 경우 성능 열화가 발생 할 수 있다. 특히, HARQ 피드백 오류 중 Local NAK 오류가 발생 시 ARQ 블록의 유실로 인한 성능 열화가 심각하다. 본 논문에서는 HARQ Local NAK 오류를 고려하고 채널상태에 적응적으로 동작하는 HARQ and ARQ interactions 기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 기법 사용 시 throughput 및 delay 성능 향상을 확인하였고, 이를 정량적으로 분석하였다.

We construct a deep neural network model named ECGResNet. This model can diagnosis diseases based on 12-lead ECG data of eight common cardiovascular diseases with a high accuracy. We chose the 16 Blocks of ResNet50 as the main body of the model and added the Squeeze-and-Excitation module to learn the data information between channels adaptively. We modified the first convolutional layer of ResNet50 which has a convolutional kernel of 7 to a superposition of convolutional kernels of 8 and 16 as our feature extraction method. This way allows the model to focus on the overall trend of the ECG signal while also noticing subtle changes. The model further improves the accuracy of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease classification by using a fully connected layer that integrates factors such as gender and age. The ECGResNet model adds Dropout layers to both the residual block and SE module of ResNet50, further avoiding the phenomenon of model overfitting. The model was eventually trained using a five-fold cross-validation and Flooding training method, with an accuracy of 95% on the test set and an F1-score of 0.841.We design a new deep neural network, innovate a multi-scale feature extraction method, and apply the SE module to extract features of ECG data.

Diagnosing wounds presents a significant challenge in clinical settings due to its complexity and the subjective assessments by clinicians. Wound deep learning algorithms quantitatively assess wounds, overcoming these challenges. However, a limitation in existing research is reliance on specific datasets. To address this limitation, we created a comprehensive dataset by combining open dataset with self-produced dataset to enhance clinical applicability. In the annotation process, machine learning based on Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) was utilized to improve objectivity and efficiency over time. Furthermore, the deep learning model was equipped U-net with residual blocks. Significant improvements were observed using the input dataset with images cropped to contain only the wound region of interest (ROI), as opposed to original sized dataset. As a result, the Dice score remarkably increased from 0.80 using the original dataset to 0.89 using the wound ROI crop dataset. This study highlights the need for diverse research using comprehensive datasets. In future study, we aim to further enhance and diversify our dataset to encompass different environments and ethnicities.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of anatomical conditions on primary stability in the models simulating posterior maxilla. Methods: Polyurethane blocks were designed to simulate monocortical (M) and bicortical (B) conditions. Each condition had four subgroups measuring 3 mm (M3, B3), 5 mm (M5, B5), 8 mm (M8, B8), and 12 mm (M12, B12) in residual bone height (RBH). After implant placement, the implant stability quotient (ISQ), Periotest value (PTV), insertion torque (IT), and reverse torque (RT) were measured. Two-factor ANOVA (two cortical conditions${\times}$four RBHs) and additional analyses for simple main effects were performed. Results: A significant interaction between cortical condition and RBH was demonstrated for all methods measuring stability with two-factor ANOVA. In the analyses for simple main effects, ISQ and PTV were statistically higher in the bicortical groups than the corresponding monocortical groups, respectively. In the monocortical group, ISQ and PTV showed a statistically significant rise with increasing RBH. Measurements of IT and RT showed a similar tendency, measuring highest in the M3 group, followed by the M8, the M5, and the M12 groups. In the bicortical group, all variables showed a similar tendency, with different degrees of rise and decline. The B8 group showed the highest values, followed by the B12, the B5, and the B3 groups. The highest coefficient was demonstrated between ISQ and PTV. Conclusions: Primary stability was enhanced by the presence of bicortex and increased RBH, which may be better demonstrated by ISQ and PTV than by IT and RT.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to provide an actual guideline in determining the shape, diameter, and position of the implant in immediate implantation by the measurement of the thickness of facial and palatal plate, the thickness of cortical bone on the facial and palatal plate, the diameter of the root, and the distance between the roots in the cadavers. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The horizontal sections of 20 maxillae were measured and analyzed to obtain the average values. Resin blocks were produced and cut serially at 1 mm intervals from the cervical line to the root apex. Images of each section were obtained and the following measurements were performed: The thickness of the facial and palatal residual bone at each root surface, the thickness of the facial and palatal cortical bone at the interdental region, the diameter of all roots of each section on the faciopalatal and mesiodistal diameter, and the interroot distance. Three specimens with measurements close to the average values were chosen and 3-dimensional images were reconstructed. RESULTS. The thickness of the facial and palatal cortical bone at the interdental region in the maxilla, the buccal cortical bone was thicker in the posterior region compared to the anterior region. The interroot distance of the alveolar bone thickness between the roots increased from anterior to posterior region and from coronal to apical in the maxilla. CONCLUSION. In this study, the limited results of the morphometric analysis of the alveolar ridge using the sections of maxilla in the cadavers may offer the useful information when planning and selecting optimal implant for immediate implantation in the maxilla.

The acute irradiation effect on rat Purkinje cell was carried out. Anesthetized rats, weighing 200-250g each, were exposed their heads to the linear accelerator (ML-4MV) with the doses of 3,000 rads or 6,000 rads respectively. Irradiated rats were sacrificed by perfusion fixation under anesthesia, six hours, two days and six days following the irradiations. Rats were perfused with the fixative of 1% glutaraldehyde-1% paraformaldehyde solution (pH 7.4). Small pieces of cerebellar cortices were taken out. Tissue blocks were washed out, and were refixed in the 2% osmium tetroxide solution. After dehydration, tissues were embedded in the araldite mixture. Ultrathin sections stained with uranyl acetate-lead citrate solution, were examined with an electron microscope. The results observed were as follow; 1. Many dark Purkinje cells exhibited most severe cellular alterations on 6 hours. But after the 2 or 6 days, the cells exhibited only some alterations of cytoplasmic organelles. 2. Many granular and agranular endoplasmic reticula exhibited the fusion of cisterns. These reticular alterations were most severe on 6 hours following irradiation. But the alterations were hardly found on 6 days. 3. In the Golgi region, alterations including the adhesion of lamelliform cisterns, enlarged saccules, and increased number of vesicles, etc, were seen on 6 hours. But the Golgi complexes were almost recovered on 6 days. 4. Lysosomes were abundant on 6 hours or 2 days, but some residual bodies were found on 6 days. 5. Mitochondrial changes were also most severe at on hours, and they were recovered thereafter. From the results, it was concluded that the cerebellar Purkinje cells reacted to the high doses of irradiation by hyperactive protein synthesis, autolytic activities and energy metabolism. The reaction was most active in the early stage. It implies that motor-control function of Purkinje cells are severely disturbed in the early stage of irradiation.

본 논문은 조선해양 구조물 주판의 맞대기용접 수축에 대한 특성을 연구하였다. 주판의 맞대기 용접은 입 열과 냉각과정에서 수축 변형이 일어나 최종 완성된 모재의 치수와 설계 치수가 다르게 된다. 이는 선박의 블록 생산 품질 불량으로서 교정 작업이 필요하며 생산성 향상의 저해요인이다. 이에 대형 구조물 주판의 맞대기용접 수축 변형에 관한 실험을 통하여 I, Y, V 형상의 용접잔류응력 수축 변형 데이터를 확보하고 두께 11 t ~ 21.5 t 범위에서는 1 ~ 2 mm의 한정된 범위의 수축 량이 균일하게 나타나는 특징과 용접부의 열전달 영향이 Seam Line 한쪽을 기준으로 최대 약 1000 mm 이내에 국한되어 모재의 자중이 수축 량에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았고 또한 수축 변형을 최소화하기 위해 설계단계에서 Groove 형상에 따라 수축마진을 다르게 적용해야 함을 알 수 있었다.
