본 연구는 측두하악장애 환자에서 이갈이의 유무 및 심도에 따른 추정연령과 실제 연령과의 차이(추정오차)를 평가하여 그 관계를 살펴보고, 측두하악장애 환자의 이갈이가 치아 교모도를 통한 연령감정에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 교모도를 이용한 Takei의 연령감정법을 163명(대조군: 56명, 환자군: 107명)의 대상자에게 적용하였다. 저자는 추정연령과 실제연령의 차이를 통해 대상자의 교모도를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 연령에 따라서는 측두하악장애 환자군이 대조군에 비해 모든 연령군에서 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 20대에서 유의성 있는 차이가 나타났다. 2. 성별에 따라서는 측두하악장애 환자군이 대조군에 비해 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 남성에서 유의성 있는 차이가 나타났다. 3. 이갈이가 있는 측두하악장애 환자군은 대조군에 비해 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며 유의성 있는 차이를 나타냈다. 4. 측두하악장애 환자군간에는 이갈이 심도와 교모도에 대한 유의성 있는 상관관계를 발견하지 못하였다. 5. Takei에 의한 방법은 한국에서 여전히 유용한 연령감정법으로 평가된다. 따라서 측두하악장애 환자에서 교모도를 이용한 연령감정의 경우, 이갈이 심도에 대한 평가와 연령, 성별, 지역에 따른 차이에 대해서도 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

We collected age determination cases which were done at Yonsei university dental hospital, department of oral medicine from 1976 to 1999 to analyze it's tendency among Koreans. We analyzed 435 clients cases which were stored by age estimation program from January 1993 to December 1999. The results are as follows: 1. There were no significant difference in the sexual distribution (male : 52.0%, female : 48.0%) and more than half percent (51%) were 20's and 30's. 2. Among the age determination clients, those who wanted to decrease their age (50.3%) and those who wanted to increase their age (49.7%) shows similar in number. And the former case were predominant in the female clients, but the latter case in the male clients. Also the clients below six years of age were predominant in the former case, but the clients more than sixty were predominant in the latter case. 3. The purposes of age correction showed different distribution for ages: job or employment for 20's and 30's, marriage for 20's, registration for school for below six, welfare and other social services for 50 and older. 4. Age was estimated by Nolla's growth stage for 12 and under, calcification of the second and third molar for 12~20, and for 20 and over, Takei's tooth abrasion model was used. 5. The alleged age was in accordance with the documents and other information given by clients, but in the 20.6% of the estimation cases, the alleged age was discarded. In the results of the analysis of age determination cases in Koreans, many of the cases resulted from our historical turbulence and social distinctiveness, causing an increase in the necessity for age correction in each age group. For more accurate determination for each age group, further studies with Koreans must be done continuously.

This study is intended to analyze the relationship between the rebound value of P type schmidt hammer and the compressive strength for a quality control of concrete. According to the results, the compressive strength of standard curing specimen increases in proportion to age, but that of air curing specimen hardly increases after 28 days. The rebound value of P type schmidt hammer, however, increases due to carbonation of concrete in air curing specimen. The correlativity between the rebound value and the compressive strength is very favorable in the case of standard curing specimen, but drops remarkably in the case of air curing specimen. Thus, as application of age coefficient is required for exact estimation of the compressive strength, the age coefficient is derived from this study. The age coefficient of P type schmidt hammer is higher at the age of 3 and 7days, and drops significantly, compared with the age of 28days. And it is lower before 28days than that of N type schmidt hammer suggested in Japan, and shows the similar tendency after 28days.

This raper investigates the effect of curing temperature on strength development of concrete incorporating cement kiln dust(CKD) and blast furnace slag (BS) quantitatively. Estimation of compressive strength of concrete was conducted using equivalent age equation and rate constant model. An increasing curing temperature results in an increase in strength at early age, but with the elapse of age, strength development at high curing temperature decreases compared with that at low curing temperature. Especially, the use of 35 has a remarkable strength development at early age and even at later age, high strength is maintained due to accelerated pozzolanic activity resulting from high temperature. Whereas, at low curing temperature, the use of BS leads to a decrease in compressive strength. Accordingly, much attention should be paid to prevent strength loss at low temperature. Based on the strength development estimation using equivalent age equation, good agreements between measured strength and calculated strength are obtained.

Objectives We aimed to compare the bone age (BA) estimation by a deep learning-based program and by a specialist in pediatrics of Korean medicine using the Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW3) technique for the cases of children who visited a Korean medicine hospital for growth, and to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment. Methods For three children who visited the Korean medicine hospital for growth, BA estimation by the deep learning program and by the specialist in pediatrics of Korean medicine using the TW3 technique was compared, and the time required for estimation was investigated. The change of height, BA, and predicted adult height (PAH) using deep learning program after Korean medicine treatment was observed. Results BA estimation of the left hand bone X-ray by the specialist using the TW3 technique showed a difference of -0.03 to +0.15 years from the estimation by the deep learning program. The mean estimation time was 5 minutes and 49 seconds per one for the specialist and 48 seconds for the deep learning program. During the treatment period, the height percentile and PAH estimated by deep learning program were increased after Korean medicine treatment compared to baseline while acceleration of BA was suppressed compared to chronological age. Conclusions BA estimation using the deep learning program and the TW3 technique showed a difference of less than 0.15 years, and in three cases of patients with growth as the chief complaint, Korean medicine treatment increased height percentile and PAH without accelerating BA maturation.

Timber stand age information of timber in industrialized plantation forest is generally collected by field surveying which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and very costly. It is also inconsistent in analyses perspective. As an alternative, The objective of this research is to present a practical solution for estimating timber age of loblolly pine plantation using Landsat thematic mapper (TM) images, shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM), and national elevation dataset (NED). A multivariate regression model was developed based upon satellite image-based information (i.e.normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), tasseled cap (TC) transformation, and derived tree heights). A residual studentized technique was applied to remove potential outliers. After that, a refined age estimation model with a correlation coefficient R-square of 84.6% was obtained. Finally, the feasibility test of estimated model was performed by comparing estimated and measured stand ages of timber plantations using test datasets of plantation stands (2,032 stands). The result shows that the proposed method of this study can estimate loblolly pine stand age within an error of $2{\sim}3$ years in an effective and consistent way in terms of time and cost.

Human dentition is unique to individuals and helps in identification of individuals in forensic odontology. This study proposes to study the manually ground sections of single rooted teeth using digital methods for dental age estimation. To assess the dentinal translucency from the scanned digital images of manually ground section of teeth using commercially available image edition software. Corroborating the root dentinal translucency length and region of interest (ROI) of translucency zone in pixels (as a marker of dental age) with the chronological age of the subject, as stratified by different age groups. Twenty single-rooted extracted teeth from 20 patients each from 6 groups divided as per age. Manual sectioning of the teeth followed by scanning the sections was done. Root area in pixels and ROI of translucency zone were measured. From the observed values, translucency length percentage (TLP) and percentage of ROI in pixels (TPP) was calculated and tabulated. Pearson's correlation coefficients were obtained for age with TLP and TPP. Positive correlation existed between age and TLP and also between age and TPP. With the obtained data, multilinear regression equations for specific age groups based on 10-year intervals were derived. By a step-down analysis method, age was estimated with an average error of around ±7.9 years. This study gives a novel method for age-estimation that can be applied in real-time forensic sciences.

Human apparent age estimation has become a popular research topic and attracted great attention in recent years due to its wide applications, such as personal security and law enforcement. To achieve the goal of age estimation, a large number of methods have been pro-posed, where the models derived through the cumulative attribute coding achieve promised performance by preserving the neighbor-similarity of ages. However, these methods afore-mentioned ignore the geometric structure of extracted facial features. Indeed, the geometric structure of data greatly affects the accuracy of prediction. To this end, we propose an age estimation algorithm through joint feature selection and manifold learning paradigms, so-called Feature-selected and Geometry-preserved Least Square Regression (FGLSR). Based on this, our proposed method, compared with the others, not only preserves the geometry structures within facial representations, but also selects the discriminative features. Moreover, a deep learning extension based FGLSR is proposed later, namely Feature selected and Geometry preserved Neural Network (FGNN). Finally, related experiments are conducted on Morph2 and FG-Net datasets for FGLSR and on Morph2 datasets for FGNN. Experimental results testify our method achieve the best performances.

본고는 한국인 피험자를 대상으로 지각 실험을 진행하여 화자의 실제 연령(Chronological age)과 지각 연령(Perceived age) 간의 상관관계를 살피고, 한국인 피험자가 얼마나 정확하게 익명의 화자의 연령을 지각할 수 있는지를 밝히고자 한다. 또한, 이러한 연령 지각에 음성적 단서가 되는 음높이와 발화 속도와 지각 연령 간의 영향 관계를 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 성인 80명을 대상으로 3가지 과제로 구성된 지각 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 자극은 표준어 화자 40명에게서 추출되었으며, 자유 발화, 낭독 발화, 모음 연장 발성으로 구성되었다. 각 실험은 10초 내외의 음성을 듣고 연령을 구체적인 숫자로 답하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 분석 결과, 한국인 피험자들은 상당히 높은 판단 정확도를 보였으며, 모음 연장 발성을 들었을 때보다 자유 발화와 낭독 발화를 들었을 때 화자의 연령을 더욱 정확하게 짐작하였다. 이러한 결과는 음성이 포함하고 있는 정보량의 차이에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 또한, 음성 분석을 수행한 결과 피험자들은 화자의 음높이와 발화 속도를 참고하여 화자의 연령을 추정하는 것으로 나타났으며, 음높이보다는 발화 속도가 연령 지각에 더 적극적으로 기여한 것으로 나타났다.
