Study that uses geometrical information in computer vision is lively. Problem that should be preceded is matching problem before studying. Feature point should be extracted for well matching. There are a lot of methods that extract feature point from former days are studied. Because problem does not exist algorithm that is applied for all images, it is a hot water. Specially, it is not easy to find feature point in endoscope image. The big problem can not decide easily a point that is predicted feature point as can know even if see endoscope image as eyes. Also, accuracy of matching problem can be decided after number of feature points is enough and also distributed on whole image. In this paper studied algorithm that can apply to endoscope image. SIFT method displayed excellent performance when compared with alternative way (Affine invariant point detector etc.) in general image but SIFT parameter that used in general image can't apply to endoscope image. The gual of this paper is abstraction of feature point on endoscope image that controlled by contrast threshold and curvature threshold among the parameters for applying SIFT method on endoscope image. Studied about method that feature points can have good distribution and control number of feature point than traditional alternative way by controlling the parameters on experiment result.

In 2004, Yang et al. proposed a threshold proxy signature scheme that efficiently reduced the computational complexity of previous schemes. In 2009, Hu and Zhang presented some security leakages of Yang's scheme and proposed an improvement to eliminate the security leakages that had been pointed out. In this paper, we will point out that both Yang and Hu's schemes still have some security weaknesses, which cannot resist warrant attacks where an adversary can forge valid proxy signatures by changing the warrant $m_w$. We also propose two secure improvements for these schemes.

The aim of this study was to determine the immediate effects of single treatment of strain-counter strain (SCS) on pressure pain threshold (PPT) and muscle activity during scapular plane abduction with 3% body weight load. Fifteen asymptomatic male adults with upper trapezius latent trigger point (LTrP) (PPT<2.9 $kg/cm^2$) participated in this study. Pressure algometer was used to measure PPT and surface electromyography was used to record upper, middle arid lower trapezius, serratus anterior, infraspinatus and middle deltoid muscle activity and relative ratio during scapular plane abduction between pre- and post-intervention. There was a significant increase in upper trapezius PPT after a 90-second SCS (p<.05). The activity of the upper trapezius and middle deltoid was significantly decreased (p=.014, p=.001), coupled with a decreased muscle activity ratio between the upper and lower trapezius (p<.05). These results indicate that the SCS may effectively deactivate upper trapezius activity, thereby alleviating muscle balance and reducing pain sensitivity.

Romania aims to adopt and implement the European Union's legislation, also including that for the field of water management. Like other countries, groundwater in Romania is locally polluted from point sources, such as leaking landfills, as well as from diffuse pollution sources, include fertilizers, pesticides and leakages from sewers, in urbanized areas. Diffuse pollution can also occur indirectly, by over-exploitation of groundwater wells, resulting in salt water intrusion, as well as from mining and exploitation of mineral aggregates. Romania has quite an intensive monitoring scheme to measure groundwater quality in phreatic and confined aquifers. The purpose of the work resumed in this paper was to derive natural background levels (NBL) for groundwater in order to distinguish the natural elevated concentrations of some substances (natural phenomena) from point and diffuse pollution (anthropogenic phenomena). Based on these NBLs, threshold values (TV) for groundwater will be set according to the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive and the related Groundwater Directive. This paper describes the results of a study for the derivation of NBL and TV in a pilot Groundwater Body. Also, the process and draft results for extrapolating this work for all Romanian groundwater bodies is explained, as well as points for future consideration with respect to monitoring and management.

Background: The vasoreactivity of cerebral artery is currently the subject of increasing interest Transcranial Doppler The purpose of this study was to investigate the analgesic effect of acupuncture in a model of neuropathic pain produced by segmental spinal nerve injury (SSI) in rats. The left L5 and L6 spinal nerves of Sprague-Dawley rats were tightly ligated, and one week later, manual or electro-acupuncture was applied for 30 minutes to the contralateral hindlimb (right side) while the animal was lightly anesthetized with halothane. The mechanical threshold of the paw for ipsilateral (left side) hind limb flinching was determined prior to and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours after termination of acupuncture. The mechanical threshold for flinching was significantly elevated for about 4 hours after manual acupuncture applied to the BL. 60 (Kunlun) point or electro-acupuncture to the BL. 60 and BL. 40 (Weizhong) points. However, manual acupuncture applied to the ST. 36 (Zusanli) point was not effective. Furthermore, systemic naloxone pretreatment had no effect on the acupuncture induced threshold elevation. These data suggests that acupuncture produces a point specific, naloxone independent analgesia in a rat neuropathic pain model. ※ This paper is supported by a grant from the '1996 Jusan Foundation of Wonkwang university.)

The purpose of this study is to help understand the pressure pain threshold's comparison following time progress after IMS to the trigger point and recognize this methode' effect for treating these kind of myofascial pain syndrome in clinic. Resently, myofascial pain syndrome is a disease that keeps the highest rate of patients visiting the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. and so one should understand the change of IMS'effect following time progress for patients to be dealt rightly in clinic. In addition, the theory and treatment of myofascial pain syndrome needs to be understood or to be dealt rightly for therapists to treat and to approach to the right moment in right mode for the patients with myofascial pain syndrome. Therefore, one should know where to stimulate and why one stimulate trigger point and what effect one obtain after IMS.

최근 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스의 등장으로 멀티캐스트를 통한 컨텐츠의 전송이 빠르게 늘어나고 있으며 이를 처리하기 위한 스위치 기술의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. CICQ 스위치 구조는 cross point의 버퍼를 이용하여 HoL blocking 확률을 낮출 수 있으며 스케줄링이 간단하다는 장점이 있지만 트래픽의 부하가 높아짐에 따라 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 처리율이 급격히 떨어질 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 몇몇의 멀티캐스트 셀 할당 기법들과 입력 포트와 cross point 사이의 스케줄링 기법들이 제안되었지만 여전히 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 충분한 처리율을 보장하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BA 셀 할당 기법과 VT 기법을 제안하여 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 HoL blocking 확률을 낮추고 cross point 버퍼의 전용 공간을 확보하여 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 처리율을 보장 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법을 이용하여 QoS를 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study was designed to evaluate the analgesic effect of low power GaAsAl laser on the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation using different treatment points, acupuncture point (zusanli) and non-acupuncture points(back). Furthermore, we investigated the analgesic effect of low power GaAsAl laser using the different duration and intensity of laser in mechanical stimulation induced pain behavior. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The threshold of mechanical stimulation was significantly increased by GaAsAl laser stimulation into zusanli point after 15 and 30 min after laser stimulation(P<05). However, the laser stimulation into non-acupoint did not affect the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation. with dose dependent manner. 2. In order to investigate the analgesic effects of BV depending upon different intensities of laser stimulation, the experimental animals were divided into three groups: 3 mW treated group, 6 mW treated group and 10 mW treated group. The low power GaAsAl laser stimulation was applied into zusanli acupoint for 30 min with different intensity of laser stimulation. Six and ten mW of laser stimulation significantly increased the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation at 15 min after laser stimulation as compared to that of control group(P<.05). Moreover, the analgesic effect of 10 mW laser stimulation was maintained for 30 min after laser stimulation (P<.05). 3. Finally, we tested the analgesic effect of 10 mW laser stimulation using different duration such as 10 min, 30 min or 1 hr after application of mechanical stimulation. In 30 min treatment group, the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation was increased at 15min and 30min after laser stimulation(P<.05). However, laser stimulation for 60 min dramatically increased the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation at 0 min after laser stimulation and the analgesic effect of laser stimulation was observed until 1 hr after laser stimulation. In conclusion, these data apparently demonstrate that low power GaAsAl laser has analgesic effect on mechanical induced pain model in rats. In addition, the treated point, intensity and duration of laser stimulation should be concerned before clinical application for pain management purpose.

PURPOSE: The purpose of our study was to compare a 975-nm, 500-mW GaAlAs low-level laser therapy versus placebo low-level laser therapy with regard to the immediate changes on the myofascial trigger point of the dominant upper trapezius muscle in subjects with rounded shoulder posture. METHODS: Thirty-two male college students with rounded shoulder posture and shoulder pain consented to participate in the experiment. The subjects were randomly assigned to a 2-minute procedure with either an active GaAlAs low-level laser or a placebo GaAlAs low-level laser. The pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg were measured with an algometer before and after the laser treatments. RESULTS: The active GaAlAs low-level laser group showed significant changes in pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg (p<0.05). The placebo GaAlAs low-level laser group showed no significant changes in either pressure-pain threshold or visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: An immediate effect was observed in pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg following a 2-minute application ($857.14J/cm^2$) of a 975-nm, 500-mW GaAlAs low-level laser to the myofascial trigger point of the dominant upper trapezius muscle in patients with rounded shoulder posture.

GIS 분야에서 지도 일반화는 공간자료의 상세도를 결정하여 효과적으로 자료를 가시화(Visualixation)하거나 자료의 해상력을 변화시켜 변환하는 기능을 수행한다. 최근까지 지도 일반화는 선사상 (Line Features)에 집중되었고, 수치지도를 구성하고 있는 정보량과 그 중요성에 비하여 점사상 (Point Features)에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미미하였다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 점사상에 대한 구체적인 일반화 방안을 모색하는데 목적을 둔다. 특히 점사상의 일반화에서 원자료의 기하학적 특성을 파악하는데 가장 중요하게 고려한 요소로 점사상의 분포패턴을 선정하였다. 즉 'Grieg-Smith방법'을 활용한 방격분석 (Quadrat Analysis)과 최근린분석 (Nearest-Neighbour Analysis)를 통해 점사상이 갖고 있는 분포패턴의 특성을 찾아낸 다음, 이를 변형시키지 않도록 일반화의 기준거리(Threshold)를 설정하여 점사상을 제거하는 방법을 통해 점사상의 일반화를 시도하였다. 따라서 이 연구에서 제시한 점사상의 일반화 방안은 원래 점사상이 갖고 있는 기하학적 특성을 최대한 유지한다.
