Three-dimensional flow analysis and numerical optimization methods are presented for the design of an axial-flow fan. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used as governing equations, and standard k- ${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is chosen as a turbulence model. Governing equations are discretized using finite volume method. Steepest descent method, conjugate gradient method and BFGS method are compared to determine the searching directions. Golden section method and quadratic fit-sectioning method are tested for one dimensional search. Objective function is defined as a ratio of generation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy to pressure head. Two variables concerning sweep angle distribution are selected as the design variables. Performance of the final fan designed by the optimization was tested experimentally.

Recent heavy rains have caused natural disasters such as flooding and landslides nationwide. Because of flooding occurrence in most of the roads, traffic congestion and isolation caused many loss especially at rush hour. Constant monitoring and analysis of past disaster history data are needed to prevent disasters on areas prone to floods and disaster risk areas. If we managed to obtain traffic volume, speed, phase around intersection using disaster history data when disasters occurred, we can analyse traffic congestion, change of disaster scale and rainfall. In this study, We select a target district to develop by using a route from Dae-nam intersection in Busan Namgu Daeyoeon-dong, over Gwangan large bridge up until Haeundae Olympic intersection, We developed a system which searches disaster history information, traffic volume using disaster history data based on user selection of the road.

Recently, it is possible for users to acquire necessary data easily as the various schemes of the searching information are developed. Since these data rise continuously like stream data, it is required to extract the appropriate data for the user's needs from the mass data on the internet. In the traditional scheme, they are acquired by processing the user queries after the occurred data are stored at a database. However, it is inefficient to process the user queries over the large volume of continuous data by using the traditional scheme. In this paper, we propose the query processing scheme to extract the data efficiently for the user requirements from the large volume of continuous data. On the proposed scheme, we present the Event-Profile Model to define the data occurrence on the internet as the events and the user's requirements as the profiles. We also show the filtering scheme to process the events and the profiles efficiently.

Objectives This review aims to analyze the current research trend in the usage of bee venom (BV) acupuncture for spinal diseases. Methods We collected 80 articles on BV acupuncture clinical study for spinal diseases by searching Korean web databases 'Journal of Korean Medicine Rehabilitation', 'Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System', 'Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal' from 1999 to 2018. Results We summarized the most frequent clinical treatment methods of BV acupuncture. 1. Herniated intervertebral disc was treated for 40% and the treated spinal diseases were various. 2. '1:10,000' in the type of BV was chosen for 21%. 3. 29% of studies used 6-7 acupoints per session and 23% of studies used 'BL' as the injection site. 3. The highest volume of injected BV into each acupoint was 0.1 cc for 34% and the highest total volume of injected BV was 1.0 cc for 39%. Conclusions We found the limited evidence on the lack of consensus and detailed description in the reported experimental design. The results in this review suggest that future works should focus on more consistent and systematic study for the reproducible and standardized treatment methods.

To write a medical record using SNOMED CT standard clinical terminologies, it is necessary to find and select an appropriate terminology from the huge volume of terminologies within short time. Using previous SNOMED CT search browsers, it is very difficult to select appropriate one from search results since they provide a simple list-up of similar candidate terminologies. This paper proposes a novel search browser which supports effect searching of clinical terminology by utilizing characteristics of SNOMED CT. The proposed system provides a simplified tree-view representing hierarchical structures of search results which enables fast selection of appropriate terminology from the search results. Design and Implementation of the system proves effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper presents a study on characteristics of precession motion of a smart munition. It's a kind of the Sensor Fuzed Weapon. The particular thing for the smart munition is that it has precession motion in the air while the sensor is searching the ground to detect ground vehicles such as tanks. The smart munition has a cylindrical shape and has a sensor attached on its side. Due to its non-uniform mass distribution, its center of gravity(CG) is located away from the center of volume(CV). In order for the smart munition to detect the target effectively, the ground searching pattern of sensor should have an uniform circular form, and for this, the precession motion of smart munition should be in its steady-state. Finally, it is necessary to choose the right initial conditions at the moment of firing, for the steady-state precession motion during flight.

It is well known that internet shoppers are very sensitive to sale prices. They visit the various shopping malls and collect the product information including purchase conditions for goods purchase decision-making. Recently the necessity of information support is increasing because of increase of information amount which is necessary and complexity of goods purchase decision-making process. The comparison shopping agent systems have provided price comparison information which is collected from various shopping malls to satisfy internet shoppers information craving. But the frequent price change caused by keen price competition is becoming the primary reason of information quality decline among price comparison sites. RSS which is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated is applied even in on-line shopping malls. This paper develops a RSS product information collection system to get real-time product information. The proposed product information system consists of (1) web crawler module for searching RSS feed shopping malls automatically, (2) RSS reader module for parsing product information from RSS feed file, (3) product DB and (4) product searching module. Performance of the proposed system is higher than the comparison shopping agent systems when it is defined with the volume of collecting product information per unit time.

Spatial web objects refer to web documents that contain geographic information. Recently, services that create spatial web objects have increased greatly because of the advancements in devices such as smartphones. For services such as Twitter or Facebook, simple texts posted by users is stored along with information about the post's location. To search for such spatial web objects, a method that uses spatial information and text information simultaneously is required. Conventional spatial web object search methods mostly use R-tree and inverted file methods. However, these methods have a disadvantage of requiring a large volume of space when building indices. Furthermore, such methods are efficient for searching with many keywords but are inefficient for searching with a few keywords.. In this paper, we propose a spatial web object search method that uses a quad-tree and a patricia-trie. We show that the proposed technique is more effective than existing ones in searching with a small number of keywords. Furthermore, we show through an experiment that the space required by the proposed technique is much smaller than that required by existing ones.

To prevent cardiac diseases, quantifying cardiac function is important in routine clinical practice by analyzing blood volume and ejection fraction. These works have been manually performed and hence it requires computational costs and varies depending on the operator. In this paper, an automatic left ventricle segmentation algorithm is presented to segment left ventricle on cardiac magnetic resonance images. After coil sensitivity of MRI images is compensated, a K-mean clustering scheme is applied to segment blood area. A graph searching scheme is employed to correct the segmentation error from coil distortions and noises. Using cardiac MRI images from 38 subjects, the presented algorithm is performed to calculate blood volume and ejection fraction and compared with those of manual contouring by experts and GE MASS software. Based on the results, the presented algorithm achieves the average accuracy of 6.2mL${\pm}$5.6, 2.9mL${\pm}$3.0 and 2.1%${\pm}$1.5 in diastolic phase, systolic phase and ejection fraction, respectively. Moreover, the presented algorithm minimizes user intervention rates which was critical to automatize algorithms in previous researches.
