본 연구의 목적은 여러 가지 하지입식검사에 적용할 수 있는 Multi-Function Device(MFD)를 제작하여 기존에 사용하던 Weight Bearing Platforms(WBPs)들과 X 선 영상의 비교를 통해 임상 활용을 제안하고자 한다. MFD는 단상(보조기구)를 이용한 Weight Bearing Foot/Ankle, Hindfoot Alignment View 검사시 X선 장치의 X선 관구의 최하 조절 높이를 고려하여 제작하였다. 그리고 Foot/Ankle Phantom으로 MFD와 WBPs에서 Weight Bearing Lateral Foot과 Hindfoot Alignment View를 검사하여 X선 영상의 해상력을 Quick MTF(modulation transfer function)프로그램으로 비교하였다. 연구결과 MFD와 WBPs에서 검사한 두 가지 영상 모두 MTF 50(50% Contrast Spatial Frequency)과 10-90%(10-90% of Maximum Energy Rise Distance) Rise의 C/P(Cycles Per Pixel)평균과 LPH(Lines Per Image Height)평균 모두 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 연구에서 제작한 MFD는 환자의 안전과 여러 가지 검사를 복합적으로 수행 할 수 있는 유용한 보조기구로 임상 활용을 제안한다. 또한 정책적으로 보조기구의 활용을 권장한다면 전문 업체의 활성화를 돕는 길이며 의료의 질도 더욱 향상할 수 있을 것이다.

Phenological variables derived from remote sensing are useful in determining the seasonal cycles of ecosystems in a changing climate. Satellite remote sensing imagery is useful for the spatial continuous monitoring of vegetation phenology across broad regions; however, its applications are substantially constrained by atmospheric disturbances such as clouds, dusts, and aerosols. By way of contrast, a tower-based ground remote sensing approach at the canopy level can provide continuous information on canopy phenology at finer spatial and temporal scales, regardless of atmospheric conditions. In this study, a tower-based ground remote sensing system, called the "Phenological Eyes Network (PEN)", which was installed at the Gwangneung Deciduous KoFlux (GDK) flux tower site in Korea was introduced, and daily phenological progressions at the canopy level were assessed using ratios of red, green, and blue (RGB) spectral reflectances obtained by the PEN system. The PEN system at the GDK site consists of an automatic-capturing digital fisheye camera and a hemi-spherical spectroradiometer, and monitors stand canopy phenology on an hourly basis. RGB data analyses conducted between late March and early December in 2009 revealed that the 2G_RB (i.e., 2G - R - B) index was lower than the G/R (i.e., G divided by R) index during the off-growing season, owing to the effects of surface reflectance, including soil and snow effects. The results of comparisons between the daily PEN-obtained RGB ratios and daily moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-driven vegetation indices demonstrate that ground remote sensing data, including the PEN data, can help to improve cloud-contaminated satellite remote sensing imagery.

최근 대두되고 있는 기후변화는 물과 탄소의 순환으로 이뤄진 생태계 간의 상호작용으로 인해 발생한다. 이를 분석하기 위해 물 이용효율(Water Use Efficiency, WUE)이 사용되는데, 이는 광합성 시 사용되는 수분 대비 흡수되는 탄소의 비율이다. 물 이용효율은 주변 환경의 기상 및 지표 조건에 영향을 받으며, 생태계의 변화를 반영하는 지표다. 본 연구에서는 한반도의 시공간적 물 이용효율을 분석하며, 나아가 가뭄과의 연관성을 가뭄 지수를 통해 보고자 한다. 물 이용효율과 가뭄 지수를 측정하기 위해서 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) 영상으로부터 Gross Primary Production(GPP, 총일차생산량)과 Evapotranspiration(ET, 증발산량) 자료를 산정하였다. 이를 통해 계산한 물 이용효율은 한반도의 전 지역과 모든 식생 종류에 대해 여름 우기철에 감소하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 나아가 연간 물 이용효율은 가뭄 지수와 음의 상관관계를 보이며 한반도의 남쪽 지역으로 갈수록 그 상관계수가 증가하였다.

A high quality, long-term, high-resolution precipitation dataset is an essential in climate analyses and global water cycles. Rainfall data from station observations are inadequate over many parts of the world, especially North Korea, due to non-existent observation networks, or limited reporting of gauge observations. As a result, satellite-based rainfall estimates have been used as an alternative as a supplement to station observations. The Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation (CHIRP) and CHIRP combined with station observations (CHIRPS) are recently produced satellite-based rainfall products with relatively high spatial and temporal resolutions and global coverage. CHIRPS is a global precipitation product and is made available at daily to seasonal time scales with a spatial resolution of 0.05° and a 1981 to near real-time period of record. In this study, we analyze the applicability of CHIRPS data on the Korean Peninsula by supplementing the lack of precipitation data of North Korea. We compared the daily precipitation estimates from CHIRPS with 81 rain gauges across Korea using several statistical metrics in the long-term period of 1981-2017. To summarize the results, the CHIRPS product for the Korean Peninsula was shown an acceptable performance when it is used for hydrological applications based on monthly rainfall amounts. Overall, this study concludes that CHIRPS can be a valuable complement to gauge precipitation data for estimating precipitation and climate, hydrological application, for example, drought monitoring in this region.

본 연구는 비인만의 갯벌과 조하대에 서식하는 대형저서동물의 공간분포가 퇴적물의 특성을 반영하는 지를 알아보기 위해 종 조성을 이용한 군집분석을 실시한 후 각기 다른 군집의 퇴적환경의 특성을 비교했다. 대형저서동물은 먼저 조위에 의해 4개의 군집으로 대별되었으며 그 가운데 3개의 군집은 퇴적환경의 특성에 따라 세부군집으로 나뉘어졌다. 모든 군집에서 공통으로 출현하는 종인 Nephtys californiensis Hartman 1938, Haploscoloplos elongatus Johnson 1901, Glycera sp., Heteromastus sp. Notomastus sp. Timarete amtarctica Monro 1930, Glysinde sp., Lumbrineris japonica Marenzeller 1879 에 대한 서식밀도의 높낮이는 서식지의 퇴적환경이 서로 다르기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 공통종 가운데 2종만이 일부 퇴적환경과 통계적으로 유의한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 공통종의 시간에 따른 밀도변화는 4계절 조사로는 해석하기 힘들었으며 생활사의 변화를 알아내기 위해서는 좀 더 빈번한 조사가 필요했다.

해양공간 이용 증가로 해양 공간을 활용하는 사람들간 갈등이 발생되며, 정부의 허가 및 규제로는 관리가 어려운 실정이다. 특히 양식장은 면허 제도로 운영되고 있는데, 지자체별로 관리하고 있어 정확한 실태 파악이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) 영상을 이용하여 연안에 위치한 양식 어장을 모니터링하고 관리 방안에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구에 활용된 자료는 Sentinel-1A 영상이며 시계열로 구성된 SAR 영상을 중첩하였다. 중첩 자료를 활용하면 양식 어장과 같은 작은 시설물에 대한 정보를 살리면서 노이즈만 제거할 수 있다. VH 편광 자료를 활용할 경우 연안에 위치한 양식 어장을 약 88%의 전체 정확도로 탐지할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 활용한다면 계절별로 변하는 양식 품목에 맞춰 양식 어장을 모니터링 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 해양 공간 활용에 대한 관리 주기를 설정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Despite the widespread use of laterally wedged insoles for patients with knee osteoarthritis and medially wedged insoles for controlling rearfoot pronation, an understanding of the effects of wedged insoles was limited and sometimes controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of wedged insoles on the kinematics and kinetics of normal gait. Ten male subjects without history of lower limb disorders were recruited. Each subject performed four gait cycles under each of seven conditions; shod with 5$^{\circ}$, 8$^{\circ}$ and 15$^{\circ}$, 8$^{\circ}$ and 15$^{\circ}$ laterally wedged insoles. In order to determine statistical differences among seven conditions, the measured temporal spatial variables, angular displacements, joint moments, and ground reaction forces were compared with a one-way analysis of variance. Some significant changes induced by wedged insoles were apparent in joint moments and ground reaction forces. The medially wedged insole increased the laterally directed ground reaction force and varus moments at the ankle force and varus moments at the ankle and the knee.

Timing plays a key role in expressing the qualitative aspects of a character's motion; that is, conveying emotional state, personality, and character role, all potentially without changing spatial positions. Temporal editing of locomotion style is particularly difficult for a novice animator since observers are not well attuned to the sense of weight and energy displayed through motion timing; and the interface for adjusting timing is far less intuitive to use than that for adjusting pose. In this paper, we propose an editing system that effectively captures the timing variations in an example locomotion set and utilizes them for style transfer from one motion to another via both global and upper-body timing transfers. The global timing transfer focuses on matching the input motion to the body speed of the selected example motion, while the upper-body timing transfer propagates the sense of movement flow - succession - through the torso and arms. Our transfer process is based on key times detected from the example set and transferring the relative changes of angle rotation in the upper body joints from a timing source to an input target motion. We demonstrate that our approach is practical in an interactive application such that a set of short locomotion cycles can be applied to generate a longer sequence with continuously varied timings.

Marine sediments are a microbial biosphere with an unknown physiology, and the sediments harbor numerous distinct phylogenetic lineages of Bacteria and Archaea that are at present uncultured. In this study, the structure of the archaeal and bacterial communities was investigated in the surface and subsurface sediments of Jeju Island using a next-generation sequencing method. The microbial communities in the surface sediments were distinct from those in the subsurface sediments; the relative abundance of sequences for Thaumarchaeota, Actinobacteria, Bacteroides, Alphaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria were higher in the surface than subsurface sediments, whereas the sequences for Euryarchaeota, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, and Deltaproteobacteria were relatively more abundant in the subsurface than surface sediments. This study presents detailed characterization of the spatial distribution of benthic microbial communities of Jeju Island and provides fundamental information on the potential interactions mediated by microorganisms with the different biogeochemical cycles in coastal sediments.

FDG PET is a functional imaging modality whose ability to detect lesions is directly based on a change of the glycolytic metabolism of targeted tissues, may be advantageous over other techniques. Combined with excellent image qualify, high spatial resolution, and whole body imaging capability, it has become popular as a new approach in the evaluation of patients with various malignancies. Initial staging of nodal and extranodal lymphoma using FDG PET has been proven to be at least equal or superior to conventional imaging modalities. For the assessment of treatment responsiveness, FDG PET has a major impact on the management of patients in differentiating residual lymphoma from treatment related benign changes. Residual FDG uptake after the completion of chemotherapy is a good predictor of early relapse. However, it seems that the absence of FDG uptake in tumor mass may not exclude minimal residual disease causing later relapse. In the early evaluation of treatment response only after a few cycles of chemotherapy, FDG PET may have a promising role in identifying non-responders who could benefit from a different treatment strategy. At present, FDG PET appears to be the cost-effective, diagnostic modality of choice in the management of lymphoma patients. The role of FDG PET based-systems in terms of affecting long-term prognosis and survival benefit should be further elucidated in future prospective studios.
