  • Plain radiographic analysis is the initial imaging modality for suspected small bowel obstruction. Among the many features that affect the diagnosis of small bowel obstruction (SBO), the presence of gas-filled or fluid-filled small bowel loops is the most salient feature that can be automatized by computer vision algorithms. In this study, we compare three frequently applied pixel-clustering algorithms for extracting gas-filled areas without human intervention. In a comparison involving 40 suspected SBO cases, the Possibilistic C-Means and Fuzzy C-Means algorithms exhibited initialization-sensitivity problems and difficulties coping with low intensity contrast, achieving low 72.5% and 85% success rates in extraction. The Adaptive Resonance Theory 2 algorithm is the most suitable algorithm for gas-filled region detection, achieving a 100% success rate on 40 tested images, largely owing to its dynamic control of the number of clusters.

  • Borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) is characterized by cognitive impairment and deficits in adaptive functioning. Despite affecting a significant proportion of the population, BIF still remains underdiagnosed and poorly understood. In addition to cognitive impairments across a range of domains, individuals with BIF face a greater risk of academic failure and often require special educational support. They suffer from emotional problems, such as difficulties with emotional awareness, anxiety, depressed mood, and unhappiness. Individuals with BIF are more likely to have an impairment of social and adaptive functioning. Furthermore, individuals with BIF are at higher risk of physical and mental health problems, often receive inadequate treatment, and have a poorer prognosis. This review aims to enhance the understanding of clinicians, educators, and policymakers by providing an overview of the characteristics of BIF and its associated challenges, ultimately contributing to the improvement of support systems for individuals with BIF.

  • In this paper, we present a robust motion controller based on Adaptive-Fuzzy technique is proposed that multifunctional vehicle(MVR) for two DOF mobile robot can perform detailed inspection of physical conditions of sewage pipes as well as can effectively repair the damaged portions of the inner walls. The main difficulties in controlling this multifunctional robot vehicles lie in the fact that vehicles usually have three degrees of freedom in position and orientation in spite of having only two degrees of freedom for motion control in tracking mode. Decomposition of error between the reference posture and the current posture makes control of speed and steering possible. The Gyro compass part and Inclonometer of the robot is configured in order to realize position of robot. The proposed Adaptive-Fuzzy motion controller has two main characteristics: The one guarantees that the MVR follows the reference trajectory; the other one compensates the dynamics of the MVR. Simulation results are provided to validate the proposed controller. Experiments have been used to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the motion controller.

  • Accurate detection and classification of faults on transmission lines is vitally important. In this respect, many different types of faults occur, such as inter alia low impedance faults (LIF) and high impedance faults (HIF). The latter in particular pose difficulties for the commonly employed conventional overcurrent and distance relays, and if undetected, can cause damage to expensive equipment, threaten life and cause fire hazards. Although HIFs are far less common than LIFs, it is imperative that any protection device should be able to satisfactorily deal with both HIFs and LIFs. Because of the randomness and asymmetric characteristics of HIFs, their modeling is difficult and numerous papers relating to various HIF models have been published. In this paper, the model of HIFs in transmission lines is accomplished using the characteristics of a ZnO arrester, which is then implemented within the overall transmission system model based on the electromagnetic transients program (EMTP). This paper proposes an algorithm for fault detection and classification for both LIFs and HIFs using Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The inputs into ANFIS are current signals only based on Root-Mean-Square (RMS) values of 3-phase currents and zero sequence current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154 kV Korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Test results demonstrate that the ANFIS can detect and classify faults including LIFs and HIFs accurately within half a cycle.

  • The Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM) has been proposed to overcome the difficulties associated with the use of the Radial Basis Functions (RBFs). The RPIM has the following properties: Simple implementation in terms of boundary conditions as in the Finite Element Method (FEM). A less expensive CPU time compared to other collocation meshless methods such as the Moving Least Square (MLS) collocation method. In this work, we propose an adaptive high-order numerical algorithm based on RPIM to simulate the thermoviscoplastic behavior of a material mixing observed in the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process. The proposed adaptive meshfree RPIM algorithm adapts well to the geometric and physical data by choosing a good shape parameter with a good precision. Our numerical approach combines the RPIM and the Asymptotic Numerical Method (ANM). A numerical procedure is also proposed in this work to automatically determine an improved shape parameter for the RBFs. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is analyzed in comparison with an iterative algorithm.

  • 적응 신호 처리 및 머신 러닝 등에 활용되고 있는 정보 이론적 학습법(ITL, information theoretic learning)은 커널 사이즈(��) 설정이 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. ITL 기반의 학습법의 하나인 코렌트로피 알고리듬은 충격성 잡음에 강인성과 채널 왜곡 보상 특성을 함께 지니고 있으나 커널 사이즈 선택에 매우 민감하거나 불안정한 특성도 지니고 있다. 이에, 이 논문에서는 기울기 분모에 나타나는 커널 사이즈의 세제곱이 미치는 민감성을 고려하고, 커널 사이즈의 미세 변동에 대한 오차 전력 변화율을 이용하여 커널 사이즈를 적응적으로 갱신하는 방법을 제안하여 코렌트로피 알고리듬에 적용하였다. 제안된 적응 커널 사이즈 추정 방법을 다중 경로 채널과 충격성 잡음 환경에 대해 실험하였다. 제안한 방식은 고정 커널사이즈의 기존 알고리듬에 비해 2배 빠른 수렴 속도를 나타냈고 초기 커널 사이즈 2.0 에서 6.0 에 대해 모두 적절히 수렴하는 능력을 보였다. 이에 초기 커널 사이즈 선택에 큰 여유도를 가지고 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다.

  • Objective : This study is planned to determine the neurocognitive difficulties of hydrocephalic adults. Methods : The research group contained healthy adults (control group, n : 15), and hydrocephalic adults (n : 15). Hydrocephalic group consisted of patients with idiopathic aquaduct stenosis and post-meningitis hydrocephalus. All patients were followed with shunted hydrocephalus and not gone to shunt revision during last two years. They were chosen from either asymptomatic or had only minor symptoms without motor and sensorineural deficit. A neuropsychological test battery (Raven Standart Progressive Matrices, Bender-Gestalt Test, Cancellation Test, Clock Drawing Test, Facial Recognition Test, Line Orientation Test, Serial Digit Learning Test, Stroop Color Word Interference Test-TBAG Form, Verbal Fluency Test, Verbal Fluency Test, Visual-Aural Digit Span Test-B) was applied to all groups. Results : Neuropsychological assessment of hydrocephalic patients demonstrated that they had poor performance on visual, semantic and working memory, visuoconstructive and frontal functions, reading, attention, motor coordination and executive function of parietal lobe which related with complex and perseverative behaviour. Eventually, these patients had significant impairment on the neurocognitive functions of their frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. On the other hand, the statistical analyses performed on demographic data showed that the aetiology of the hydrocephalus, age, sex and localization of the shunt (frontal or posterior parietal) did not affect the test results. Conclusion : This prospective study showed that adult patients with hydrocephalus have serious neuropsychological problems which might be directly caused by the hydrocephalus; and these problems may cause serious adaptive difficulties in their social, cultural, behavioral and academic life.

  • 최근 3D 입체영상에 대한 소비자들의 관심 증대로 가전 업체들은 3D TV, 3D Monitor등의 제품들을 출시하고 있고, 이에 따라 3D 콘텐츠 시장도 급격히 성장할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 이러한 3D 콘텐츠를 서비스함에 있어서 보다 높은 대역폭이 요구되어지므로 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하지 않는 IP 기반 전송환경에서의 고화질 3D 스트리밍 서비스는 소비자에게 끊김 없는 영상서비스를 제공하는데 제약이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, IP 망 네트워크 환경을 고려하여 사용자들이 원하는 콘텐츠를 네트워크 환경에 따라 적절한 품질로 제공 할 수 있는 적응적 스트리밍 서비스 기술이 현재 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG(Moving Picture experts Group)에서 DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)라는 이름으로 표준화가 진행 중에 있다. 그러나 DASH에서는 독립된 좌, 우 영상이 단일 segment안에 2개의 Elementary Stream(ES)으로 구성되어 있는 service- compatible 기반의 스테레오스코픽 콘텐츠에 대한 명확한 scheme이 나타나지 않는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DASH를 이용한 service-compatible 기반의 효율적인 적응적 3D 스트리밍 서비스 제공 방안을 제안한다. DASH를 이용한 3D 서비스는 사용자들에게 IP 망을 통한 다양한 품질의 3D 콘텐츠를 제공함으로써 끊김 없는 3D 스트리밍 서비스가 가능하고, 또한 하나의 3D 콘텐츠로 다양한 디바이스에 적용 가능하다는 이점이 있다.
