최근 화상 회의, 화상 전화, 모바일 환경에서의 화상 통신, 얼굴 인식을 이용한 보안 시스템 등의 상업화에 힘입어 비디오에서의 얼굴 검출 및 추적 기술은 눈부신 발전을 이룩하였다. 또한, 얼굴 요소 검출은 요소 그 자체뿐 아니라 정화한 얼굴 영역 검출을 위한 필수 단계로서 중요한 연구 주제가 되고 있다. 그러나 영상에 나타난 복잡한 배경과 카메라 조작 및 조명에 의한 색상 왜곡 그리고 다양한 조명 조건 둥은 얼굴 검출 및 추적, 요소 검출에 있어 여전히 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 실시간 화상 통신을 위한 새로운 얼굴 영역 검출 및 추적 알고리즘과 검출된 얼굴 영역에서 효과적으로 눈 영역을 검출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 복잡한 배경과 다양한 조명 조건에 관계없이 얼굴을 검출하고 추적하기 위해 웨이블릿 변환된 세 종류의 부 영역을 이용하여 얼굴 형판을 생성하고 웨이블릿 변환된 입력 영상과의 유사도를 측정하여 얼굴을 검출한다. 특히 다양한 조명 조건을 극복하기 위해 최소-최대 정규화와 히스토그램 평활화를 혼합 적용하여 매우 밝거나, 매우 어두운 영상에서의 얼굴 오 검출 및 놓침을 줄일 수 있었으며 세 가지 크기의 얼굴 형판을 이용함으로써 입력 영상에 존재하는 다양한 크기의 얼굴도 검출할 수 있었다. 또한 효과적인 얼굴 추적 알고리즘을 통해 다음 프레임에서의 얼굴 위치를 예측하고 예측된 얼굴 위치를 중심으로 탐색 영역을 정해 형판 정합을 수행함으로써 얼굴 검출률을 높이면서 수행 시간도 단축시킬 수 있었다. 수직, 수평방향 투영을 이용한 합리적인 눈 검출 알고리즘은 어두운 조명이나 부정확한 얼굴 영역에서도 만족스러운 결과를 보여주었다.26$이었으며, 점차 감소, 다시 증가하여 담금 10일에는
방사선 치료과정에서 가장 중요한 것은 환자에게 조사된 흡수선량을 검증하는 것이다. IMRT에 사용되는 방사선의 물리적 특성을 결정하고 환자에 조사된 선량분포를 검증할 수 있는 정밀한 선량 측정 장치가 필요하다. 본 연구에서 2차원 광자선의 선량검증을 위해 만들어진 BInS (Beam Intensity Scanner)에 관하여 논의한다. BInS에 있는 Scintillator는 광자선이나 전자선에 조사되면 형광을 발생하는 Gd
Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess the agreement between job physical risk factor analysis by ergonomists using ergonomic methods and physical examinations made by occupational physicians on the presence of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremities. Background: Ergonomics is the systematic application of principles concerned with the design of devices and working conditions for enhancing human capabilities and optimizing working and living conditions. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent injuries and physical and emotional stress. The major types of ergonomic injuries and incidents are cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), acute strains, sprains, and system failures. Minimization of use of excessive force and awkward postures can help to prevent such injuries Method: Initial data were collected as part of a larger study by the University of Utah Ergonomics and Safety program field data collection teams and medical data collection teams from the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH). Subjects included 173 male and female workers, 83 at Beehive Clothing (a clothing plant), 74 at Autoliv (a plant making air bags for vehicles), and 16 at Deseret Meat (a meat-processing plant). Posture and effort levels were analyzed using a software program developed at the University of Utah (Utah Ergonomic Analysis Tool). The Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) was developed to assess the risk of epicondylitis from observable job physical factors. The model considers five job risk factors: (1) intensity of exertion, (2) forearm rotation, (3) wrist posture, (4) elbow compression, and (5) speed of work. Qualitative ratings of these physical factors were determined during video analysis. Personal variables were also investigated to study their relationship with epicondylitis. Logistic regression models were used to determine the association between risk factors and symptoms of epicondyle pain. Results: Results of this study indicate that gender, smoking status, and BMI do have an effect on the risk of epicondylitis but there is not a statistically significant relationship between EEM and epicondylitis. Conclusion: This research studied the relationship between an Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) and the occurrence of epicondylitis. The model was not predictive for epicondylitis. However, it is clear that epicondylitis was associated with some individual risk factors such as smoking status, gender, and BMI. Based on the results, future research may discover risk factors that seem to increase the risk of epicondylitis. Application: Although this research used a combination of questionnaire, ergonomic job analysis, and medical job analysis to specifically verify risk factors related to epicondylitis, there are limitations. This research did not have a very large sample size because only 173 subjects were available for this study. Also, it was conducted in only 3 facilities, a plant making air bags for vehicles, a meat-processing plant, and a clothing plant in Utah. If working conditions in other kinds of facilities are considered, results may improve. Therefore, future research should perform analysis with additional subjects in different kinds of facilities. Repetition and duration of a task were not considered as risk factors in this research. These two factors could be associated with epicondylitis so it could be important to include these factors in future research. Psychosocial data and workplace conditions (e.g., low temperature) were also noted during data collection, and could be used to further study the prevalence of epicondylitis. Univariate analysis methods could be used for each variable of EEM. This research was performed using multivariate analysis. Therefore, it was difficult to recognize the different effect of each variable. Basically, the difference between univariate and multivariate analysis is that univariate analysis deals with one predictor variable at a time, whereas multivariate analysis deals with multiple predictor variables combined in a predetermined manner. The univariate analysis could show how each variable is associated with epicondyle pain. This may allow more appropriate weighting factors to be determined and therefore improve the performance of the EEM.
본 연구는 미래문제해결프로그램을 적용하여 의생활과 관련된 환경문제를 분석하고 해결방안을 찾아 실천함으로써 청소년의 창의 인성을 함양하는데 목적이 있다. 개발한 교수 학습 과정안으로 2011년 8월 23일부터 9월 8일까지 경기도 소재 고등학교 인문계 1학년 실험집단 2학급 77명의 학생을 대상으로 매일 1시간씩 3주 동안 수업을 실시하였다. 사전 사후 검사를 통해 수집한 자료의 통계는 SPSS 17.0 프로그램을 사용하였으며, 대응 독립 표본 t-test를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 학습주제는 '환경을 생각하는 의생활 문화'의 교육내용 요소에서 '섬유의 생산, 의복의 생산, 의복의 폐기와 재활용, 의복의 세탁'으로 선정하였으며, 미래문제해결프로그램(FPSP)을 적용한 13차시 교수 학습 과정안 및 학습 자료(문제 상황 4개, 개별활동지 2개, 팀활동지 10개, 동영상자료 7개, PPT 자료 7개)를 개발하였다. 유창성, 융통성, 독창성, 문제해결능력의 창의성은 유의하게 향상되었으며 유창성, 융통성, 독창성의 창의성 수준이 '평균이하'에서 '평균 이상'으로 향상되었다. 집단 간 차이 분석에서는 성별과 학업성적에 관계없이 유창성, 융통성, 독창성이 향상되었으며, 문제해결능력은 여학생에게 더 효과적이었으나 학업성적과는 유의한 관련이 없었다. 인성 변화는 학습내용에서 추출한 인성 요소인 환경보존의식이 가장 많이 향상되었으며, FPSP의 학습 방법적 측면에서 추출한 자신감, 배려심, 협동심의 인성도 유의한 차이로 향상되었다. 이러한 인성의 변화는 성별 및 학업성적의 차이와 관계없이 향상되었다. 이 연구를 통하여 가정교과는 창의 인성교육을 함양할 수 있는 중요한 교과이며, 가정 교과의 다양한 내용 영역에 미래문제해결프로그램(FPSP)의 창의적 문제해결 단계를 선택적으로 적용한다면 학생들의 문제해결능력의 향상 및 인성 함양 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 가정 교과에 대한 흥미를 더욱 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
영상/비디오 컨텐츠의 사용이 급증함에 따라 유료 및 비밀유지를 필요로 하는 영상데이터에 대한 보안문제가 크게 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상데이터를 숨기기 위한 영상 암호화 방식을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 웨이블릿 영역에서 양자화과정을 마친 영상 데이터를 대상으로 한다. 본 논문은 영상의 전체데이터가 아닌 부분데이터를 암호화하는 방식을 사용하는데, 세 가지 형태의 부분데이터 추출방식을 사용하였다. 먼저, 웨이블릿 변환이 원영상을 주파수 대역으로 재편성함을 이용하여 영상정보 중 특정 주파수를 숨김으로서 전체 영상을 인식할 수 없도록 하였다. 각 화소를 나타내는 데이터에서도 모든 데이터를 사용하지 않고 MSB만을 선택하여 암호화 대상에 포함시켰다. 마지막으로 특정 부대역의 화소들을 무작위로 선택하였으며, 이 때 선형귀환 시프트 레지스터(Linear Feedback Shift Register, LFSR)를 사용하였다. LFSR의 초기값과 출력비트의 선택에 있어서 암호화키의 일부분을 사용함으로써 암호화 강도를 더욱 높였다. 제안한 방법을 소프트웨어로 구현하여 약 500개의 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 원영상 데이터의 약 1/1000의 데이터 양을 암호화함으로써 원영상을 인식할 수 없을 정도의 암호화효과를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 제안한 방법은 작은 양의 암호화로 효과적으로 영상을 숨기는 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 부대역의 선택과 LFSR 출력 중 사용비트의 양에 따른 여러 방식을 제안하였으며, 이들의 암호화 수행시간과 암호화효과 사이에 상보적인 관계가 있음을 보여, 적용분야에 따라 선택적으로 사용할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 본 논문의 방식들은 응용계층에서 수행되는 것으로, 현재 유·무선 통합 네트워크의 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있는 끝과 끝 (end-to-end)의 보안에 대한 좋은 해결방법으로 사용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.
Background: The purpose of this study was to develop a structured and individualized smoking prevention program for adolescents by utilizing a multimedia computer-assisted instruction model and to empirically assess its effect. Method: For the purpose of this study, a guide book of smoking prevention program for middle and high school students was developed as the first step. The contents of this book were summarized and developed into an actual multimedia CAI smoking prevention program according to the Gane & Briggs instructional design and Keller's ARCS motivation design models as the second step. At the final step, the short-tenn effects of this program were examined by an experiment. This experiment were made for middle school and high school students and the quasi experimental design was the pretest - intervention - posttest. The measured data was attitude, belief, and knowledge about smoking, interest in the program, and learning motivation. Result: The results of this study were as follows: First, the guide book of a smoking prevention program was developed and the existing literature on adolescent smoking was analyzed to develop the content of the guide book. Then the curriculum was divided into three main domains on tobacco and smoking history, smoking and health, adolescent smoking and each main domain was divided into sub-domains. Second, the contents of the guide book were translated into a multimedia CAI program of smoking prevention througn Powerpoint software according to the instructional design theory. The characteristics of this program were interactive, learner controllable, and structured The program contents consisted of entrance(5.6%), history of tobacco(30%), smoking and health(38.9%), adolescent smoking(22.2%), video(4.7%), and exit(1.6%). Multimedia materials consisted of text(121), sound and music, image(still 84, dynamic 32), and videogram(6). The program took about 40 minutes to complete. Third, the results on analysis of the program effects were as follows: 1) There was significant knowledge increase between the pre-test and post-test with total mean difference 3.44, and the highest increase was in the 1st grade students of high school(p<0.001). 2) There was significant decrease in general belief on smoking between the pre-test and post-test with total mean difference 0.28. In subgroup analysis, the difference was significantly higher in the 1st grade of high school (p<0.001), low income class (p<0.001), and daily smokers (p<0.01). 3) There was no significant difference in attitudes on his personal smoking between the pre-test and post-test. 4) The interest in the program seemed to lower as students got older. The score of motivation toward this prevention program was the highest in the middle school 3rd grade. Among sub-domains of motivation, the confidence score was the highest. Conclusion: To be most effective, the smoking prevention program for adolescents should utilize the most up-to-date and accurate information on smoking, and then instructional material should be developed so that the learners can approach the program with enjoyment. Through this study, a guide book with the most up-to-date information was developed and the multimedia CAI smoking prevention program was also developed based on the guide book. The program showed positive effect on the students' knowledge and belief in smoking.
The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70
