  • We report the detection of a low-amplitude 380.8-day radial velocity (RV) variations in oscillating K2 III star ${\alpha}$ Ari (HD 12929). We do not found the correlation between RV variations and equivalent widths of chromospheric activity indicators ($H{\alpha}$ and CaII 8662 ${\AA}line$). The bisector analysis shows that bisector velocity span (BVS) and RV variations are not strongly correlated with each other. These result suggest that the RV variations could have been produced either by planetary companion or by the surface spots. If this RV variation is indeed caused by a planetary companion, an orbital solution with a period of P = 381 days, a semi-amplitude of K = 41 m/s, and an eccentricity of e = 0.25 fits the data best. Assuming a possible stellar mass of $M_{\bigstar} = 1.4-5.6 M\odot$, we estimate the minimum mass for the companion of m sini = 1.8-4.5 $M_{Jup}$ with an orbital semi-major axis of 1.2-1.9 AU. If confirmed, our finding gives a support to search for exoplanets around giant stars with multi-periodic oscillations.

  • We present a secondary camera optimization method that helps the user exploring 3D virtual environment to precisely observe possible collisions between objects. The first role of our secondary camera is to automatically detect the area with the greatest possible collision. The second role is to show the detected area from a new angle of view that the current main camera cannot show. However, as the shapes of target objects are complex, the shape of the empty space between objects is also complex and narrow. It means that the space for the secondary camera position is highly constrained and its optimization can be very difficult. To avoid this difficulty and increase the efficiency of the optimization, we first compute a bisector surface between two target objects. Then, we limit the domain of the secondary camera's position on the bisector surface in the optimization process. To verify the utility of our method, we built a demonstration program in which the user can explore in a 3D virtual world and interact with objects by using a hand motion recognition device and conducted a user study.

  • We present an algorithm to approximate the Voronoi diagrams of 2D objects bounded by algebraic curves. Since the bisector curve for two algebraic curves of degree d can have a very high algebraic degree of 2 * d$^{4}$, it is very difficult to compute the exact algebraic curve equation of Voronoi edge. Thus, we suggest a simple polygonal approximation method. We first approximate each object by a simple polygon and compute a simplified polygonal Voronoi diagram for the approximating polygons. Finally, we approximate each monotone polygonal chain of Voronoi edges with Bezier cubic curve segments using least-square curve fitting.

  • We study chromospheric oscillations including umbral flashes and running penumbral waves in a sunspot using scanning spectroscopy in H-alpha and Ca II 8542A, with the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) at the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory. A bisector method is applied to spectral observations to construct chromospheric Doppler velocity maps. Temporal sequence analysis of these shows enhanced high-frequency oscillations inside the sunspot umbra in both lines. Their peak frequency gradually decreases outward from the umbra. The oscillation power is found to be associated with magnetic-field strength and inclination, with different relationships in different frequency bands.

  • They are well-known geometric properties of a circle that the perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle, and the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of any two chords is its center. This paper is related to a fast pupil detection method capable of detecting the center and the radius of a pupil using these geometric properties at high speed when detecting the pupil region for iris segmentation. The proposed method is characterized as rapidly detecting the center and the radius of the pupil, extracting the candidate points of the circle in human eye images using morphological operations, and finding two chords using four points on the circular edge, and taking the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of these two chords for its center. The proposed method can not only detect the center and the radius of a pupil rapidly but also find partially occluded pupils in human eye images.

  • Wireless Sensor Network is composed of a lot of sensor nodes that are densely deployed in a field. So generally this sensor nodes are spreaded using Helicopter or Fixed wing. Each node delivers own location and acquired information to user when it detects specific events. In this paper, we propose localization algorithm without range information in wireless sensor network using helicopter. Helicopter broadcasts periodically beacon signal for sensor nodes. Sensor nodes stored own memory this beacon signal until to find another beacon point(satisfied special condition). This paper develops a localization mechanism using the geometry conjecture(perpendicular bisector of a chord) to know own location. And the simulation results demonstrate that our localization scheme outperforms Centroid, APIT in terms of a higher location accuracy.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess temporomandibular joint subluxation by means of cephalometry using two lateral cephalograms from each person with in centric occlusion and wide-open mouth position, and to compare patient group with subluxation to normal control group in the measurements and correlation coefficient. The 200 cephalograms of 100 Korean adults, patient group consisted of 24 females and 26 males ranged from 17 to 63 years age and the normal control group consisted of 20 females and 30 males ranged from 18 to 56 years age, were studied and analyzed statistically. The results were as follows; 1. In the comparison of patient group vs normal control group in the measurements, statistically significant differences were found in C-C', C'-PTM, K-FH, K-PTM, Gn-Gn', C-S-C', Gn-S-Gn', Gn-K-Gn', GoGn-SN, and GoGn-Go'Gn'. K-point* of patient group was located antero - superiorly than of normal control group, and the significance level was higher in K-PTM than in K-FH. There was no statistically significant difference found in local relationship of C-point between patient group and normal control group. The values of correlation coefficient among all measurements were in 0.958≥r≥-0.760, and the highest value was in Gn-Gn' to GoGn-Go'Gn' and Gn-K-Gn' to Gn-Gn', and the lowest value was in C'-PTM to Gn-K-Gn' of normal control group. K was determined as a point of intersection by a perpendicular bisector of Gn-Gn' and a perpendicular bisector of C-C'.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the errors and difficulties which pre-service secondary teachers shows during the task modification in consideration of the cognitive demand and to provide significant implications to the pre-service teacher education program related to the modification of the mathematical tasks. In the pursuit of this purpose, tasks were selected from perpendicular bisector units and 24 pre-service teachers were asked to modify the tasks to higher and lower level tasks. After the modification activities, opportunities for reflection and modification were provided. The findings from analysis are as follows. Pre-service teachers had a difficulty to distinguish between PNC tasks and PWC tasks. Also, We identified the interference phenomena that pre-service teachers depended on the apparent elements of the task. Pre-service teachers showed a tendency to overlook the learning objectives and learning hierarchy during the task modification, and to focus on some types of task modification. However, pre-service teachers were able to have meaningful learning opportunities and extend the category of tools to technology including Geogebra through self-reflection and correction activities on task modification. The above results were summed up and we presented the implications to the task modification program in the pre-service secondary teacher education.

  • In this paper, a new offset algorithm for closed 2D lines with islands is introduced and the result is illustrated. The main point of the proposed algorithm is that every point is set to be an offset by using bisectors, and then invalid offset lines, which are not to be participated in offsets, are detected in advance and handled with an invalid offset edge handling algorithm. As a result, raw offset lines without local invalid loops are generated. The proposed offset method is proved to be robust and simple, moreover, has a near O(n) time complexity, where n denotes the number of input lines. In addition, the proposed algorithm has been implemented and tested with 2D lines of various shapes.
