This paper presents an optimum method for determining the parameters to athermalize a long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) zoom camera by introducing the defocus sensitivity analysis. To effectively find parameters that significantly affect thermal defocus, we simulated athermal analysis with temperature changes for all variables. Consequently, we found that the optimum parameter to correct thermal defocus is the compensation lens, and its movements with temperature at each zoom position are obtained from the simulated athermal analysis. To verify the efficiency of our athermal approach, we performed actual athermal tests in a broad temperature range at each zoom position. The simulated athermal analysis provides the initial position of the compensation lens at the corresponding temperature and zoom position. Then the compensation lens is elaboratively moved to serve the highest live contrast ratio (LCR) for the target. This experiment shows that the compensation lens locations in the actual test are closely matched to those in the simulated athermal analysis. In addition, two outdoor tests conducted in two different environments confirm that the autofocus system suggested in this study performs well at all zoom positions. Using the proposed athermal analysis approach in this paper, we efficiently realize an athermal system over the specified temperature and zoom ranges.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of previously trained endodontists in the detection of artificially created periapical lesions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital periapical radiography (DPR). Materials and Methods: An ex vivo model using dry skulls was used, in which simulated apical lesions were created and then progressively enlarged using #1/2, #2, #4, and #6 round burs. A total of 11 teeth were included in the study, and 110 images were obtained with CBCT and with an intraoral digital periapical radiographic sensor (Instrumentarium dental, Tuusula, Finland) initially and after each bur was used. Specificity and sensitivity were calculated. All images were evaluated by 10 previously trained, certified endodontists. Agreement was calculated using the kappa coefficient. The accuracy of each method in detecting apical lesions was calculated using the chisquare test. Results: The kappa coefficient between examiners showed low agreement (range, 0.17-0.64). No statistical difference was found between CBCT and DPR in teeth without apical lesions (P=.15). The accuracy for CBCT was significantly higher than for DPR in all corresponding simulated lesions(P<.001). The correct diagnostic rate for CBCT ranged between 56.9% and 73.6%. The greatest difference between CBCT and DPR was seen in the maxillary teeth (CBCT, 71.4%; DPR, 28.6%; P<.01) and multi-rooted teeth (CBCT, 83.3%; DPR, 33.3%; P<.01). Conclusion: CBCT allowed higher accuracy than DPR in detecting simulated lesions for all simulated lesions tested. Endodontists need to be properly trained in interpreting CBCT scans to achieve higher diagnostic accuracy.

Objective: This study aims to examine the psychological effects of pilots caused by the environmental differences between actual and simulated flights by measuring biochemical stress level and subjective stress level. Background: Currently, the flight system of the air force suffers from several problems including a limited training area, increase of complex and tangled missions and rise in oil prices. In order to overcome these problems an L-V-C (Live, Virtual, Constructive) training system has been proposed as a solution. However, to establish the effective L-V-C training system, it is required to figure out the characteristics of each system first. Also we have to solve the problems which could occur when these systems are connected together. Method: In order to measure the biochemical stress level of pilots, we investigated the differences in cortisol responses after actual and simulated flight training separately. Meanwhile, we conducted the questionnaire survey of about 40 pilots to identify the subjective stress level of pilots. Results: There was significant difference in cortisol level between actual and simulated flight tasks. However, we found that there was no significant difference in pilots' feelings about two flight tasks. Conclusion: The results from this study can be used as basis for the further research on not only how to decrease linkage errors of the L system and the V system but also how to make the L-V training system more practical. Application: The results of the analysis might help to develop the Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) pilot training system.

해도상 수심으로부터 평균수심을 산정하기 위하여 검조소의 실측자료와 조석 수치모델링 결과를 결합하여 해도 수준기준면을 산정하는 방법을 연구하였다. 수준기준면은 4대분조($M_2$분조, $S_2$분조, $K_2$분조, $O_1$분조)의 진폭 합으로 결정되므로 검조소의 실측자료를 활용하여 산정할 수 있으나, 검조소의 자료는 연안에 한정되므로 해양의 수준기준면은 산정할 수 없다. 반면에 조석 수치모델링의 결과는 원하는 지점의 4대분조합을 도출할 수 있으나, 시뮬레이션 결과이므로 실제 수준기준면과는 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 검조소 자료와 조석 수치모델링 결과를 상호보완하여 해양의 수준기준면을 보다 정확하게 산정할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다 본 연구의 방법에서는 검조소의 자료와 조석 수치모델링 결과를 비교하여 보정계수를 추출하고, 각 검조소에 대한 보정계수를 내삽하여 대상해역의 임의지점에 대한 보정계수를 산정하여 조석 수치모델 결과에 적용함으로써 정확한 수준기준면을 산정한다.

본 연구는 경기도 광주군 퇴촌면 소재 경희대 연습림의 산림토양을 대상으로 인공산성우의 회수별 유입에 따른 산림토양의 완충능에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 pH 3.0, pH 4.0, pH 5.0 인공산성우를 하루에 1시간 간격으로 10회 유입하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 각 임지(활엽수, 리기다소나무, 잣나무, 낙엽송)의 토심별(0~15 cn, 15~30 cm) pH를 측정한 결과 모든 임지에서 토심이 깊을수록 토양 pH가 높았다. 또한 각 임지별 염기포화도를 살펴보면 리기다소나무 임지에서 17.42%로 가장 높게 나타났으며 C.E.C는 활엽수임지의 경우 29.87 me/100 g으로 가장 높았다. 인공산성우 회수별 유입 토양용탈수의 pH 변화를 보면 pH 3.0 처리에서 인공산성우 유입회수가 증가함에 따라 초기에는 일시적으로 높아지다가 다시 낮아지는 변곡성을 보였으며, 나머지 pH 4.0과 pH 5.0에서는 토양 용탈수의 pH가 비례적으로 증가하였다. 인공산성우의 pH 수준과 임지에 따라 초기 용탈량은 차이가 있으나 모든 처리에서 인공산성우의 유입회수가 증가함에 따라 염기성 이온의 용탈량은 감소하였다. 또한 pH 5.0 처리에 비하여 pH 3.0과 pH 4.0의 인공산성우 처리에서 총 염기성 양이온의 초기 용탈량이 더 컸으며 이러한 경향은 토양 산성도가 낮고 토양의 염기성 양이온이 높은 임지일수록 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 활성 Al의 초기 용탈은 토양 산성도가 높은 지역일수록, 인공산성우의 유입산도가 클수록 높게 나타났다. 또한 토심별로 확인해 본 결과 A층과 AB층간의 Al 용탈량도 소폭의 차이가 있음이 확인되었다. 인공산성우 pH 3.0 처리에서는 모든 임지에서 Al 활성 변화가 정의 관계를 나타내었는데 이는 pH 4.0과 pH 5.0에서의 용탈수와는 반대되는 경향이었으며, 총 염기성 양이온과도 반대되는 경향이 나타났다.

In orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. cephalogram has been routine practice in diagnosis and treatment evaluation of craniofacial deformity. But its inherent distortion of actual length and angles during projecting three dimensional object to two dimensional plane might cause errors in quantitative analysis of shape and size. Therefore, it is desirable that three dimensional object is diagnosed and evaluated three dimensionally and three dimensional CT image is best for three dimensional analysis. Development of clinic necessitates evaluation of result of treatment and comparison before and after surgery. It is desirable that patient that was diagnosed and planned by three dimensional computed tomography before surgery is evaluated by three dimensional computed tomography after surgery. too. But Because there is no standardized normal values in three dimension now and three dimensional Computed Tomography needs expensive equipments and because of its expenses and amount of exposure to radiation. limitations still remain to be solved in its application to routine practice. If postoperative three dimensional image is constructed by pre and postoperative lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms and preoperative three dimensional computed tomogram. pre and postoperative image will be compared and evaluated three dimensionally without three dimensional computed tomography after surgery and that will contribute to standardize normal values in three dimension. This study introduced new method that computer-simulated three dimensional image was constructed by preoperative three dimensional computed tomogram and pre and postoperative lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms. and for validation of new method. in four cases of dry skull that position of mandible was displaced and four patients of orthognathic surgery. computer-simulated three dimensional image and actual postoperative three dimensional image were compared. The results were as follows. 1. In four cases of dry skull that position of mandible was displaced. range of displacement between computer-simulated three dimensional images and actual postoperative three dimensional images in co-ordinates values was from -1.8 mm to 1.8 mm and 94％ in displacement of all co-ordinates values was from -1.0 mm to 1.0 mm and no significant difference between computer-simulated three dimensional images and actual postoperative three dimensional images was noticed(p>0.05). 2. In four cases of orthognathic surgery patients, range of displacement between computer­simulated three dimensional images and actual postoperative three dimensional images in coordinates values was from -6.7 mm to 7.7 mm and 90％ in displacement of all co-ordinates values was from -4.0 to 4.0 mm and no significant difference between computer-simulated three dimensional images and actual postoperative three dimensional images was noticed(p>0.05). Conclusively. computer-simulated three dimensional image was constructed by preoperative three dimensional computed tomogram and pre and postoperative lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms. Therefore. potentiality that can construct postoperative three dimensional image without three dimensional computed tomography after surgery was presented.

This paper is aimed at combining wavelet multiresolution analysis and nonstationary Kanai-Tajimi model for the simulation of earthquake accelerograms. The proposed approach decomposes earthquake accelerograms using wavelet multiresolution analysis for the simulation of earthquake accelerograms. This study is on the basis of some Iranian earthquake records, namely Naghan 1977, Tabas 1978, Manjil 1990 and Bam 2003. The obtained results indicate that the simulated records preserve the significant properties of the actual accelerograms. In order to investigate the efficiency of the model, the spectral response curves obtained from the simulated accelerograms have been compared with those from the actual records. The results revealed that there is a good agreement between the response spectra of simulated and actual records.

The goal of this study is to analyze the impact of load factors on building energy consumption by using EnergyPlus program. We selected a campus building and monitored energy consumption from January 2009 to November 2010. First, we simulated energy consumption basically with weather data, building heat gain and EHP performance data. And then we simulated energy consumption with three additional parameter(infiltration, OA control and schedule). Simulation results are verified by MBE and Cv(RMSE) proposed by M&V guideline 3.0. Simulated total energy consumption was 104.3% of measurements, 4.33% of MBE, and 13.62% of Cv(RMSE). Results show infiltration and schedule were revealed as the most dominant factor of heating energy consumption and of cooling energy consumption, respectively.

The characteristics of conjugated heat transfer in the inclined channel was experimentally investigated. The simulated module is attached to the bottom of the inclined channel and is heated with constant heat flux. The experimental parameters of this study are input power (Q = 3, 7W), inlet air velocity ($V_{i}=0.1{\sim}0.9m/s$) and inclined channel angle (${\varphi}=0{\sim}90^{\circ}$). The results show that input power was most effective parameter on the temperature differences between module and air. As the inclined channel angle increases, the temperatures of the module are increased. And we obtained the best condition on the conductive board when ${\varphi}=0^{\circ}$.
