흉부 단층 합성검사(Chest Digital Tomosynthesis, DTS)시 환자 체형에 따른 0.3 mm 구리 필터의 적용 및 AEC의 감도 변화에 의한 유효선량감소 효과와 폐 결절 검출능력을 평가하여 선량 최적화 조건을 평가하고자 한다. 8개의 인공 결절을 인체 팬텀 폐 영역내에 삽입하고 0.3 mm 구리 필터 적용 유무, 감도 변화에 따라 팬텀의 DTS 영상을 각각 획득하였다. 환자 체형에 따른 비교를 위해 팬텀 사이즈를 세 그룹으로 분류하여 small size에서는 결절이 삽입된 인체 팬텀을 단독으로 사용하였고 Average size에서는 한 개의 PMMA를, Large size에서는 두 개의 PMMA를 인체팬텀 후방에 밀착하여 위치시켰다. 유효선량은 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 계산 되었고 영상의 화질평가를 위해서 CNR과 SNR 측정을 통한 정량 평가와 인공 결절 검출 수를 통한 검출민감도로 정성평가를 시행하였다. 모든 데이터는 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 유효 선량은 Small size일 때 $26{\mu}Sv$, Average size $70{\mu}Sv$, Large size $133{\mu}Sv$ 감소하였다. 유효선량은 0.3mm 구리 필터의 적용 여부에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 정량적 화질 평가에서는 0.3mmCu필터 사용 시 CNR과 SNR 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 또한 정성적 화질평가에서도 결절 검출 민감도는 팬텀 사이즈별 전체 그룹에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). DTS에서 0.3 mmCu필터의 사용은 폐 결절 검출에서 진단적 가치를 유지하면서 환자 피폭선량 감소효과를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 실험에서 Large size 그룹의 경우 유효선량 감소 정도가 두드러진 점으로 보아 실제 체형이 큰 환자의 경우 0.3 mm Cu필터 사용은 더 높은 유효선량 감소 효과를 기대 할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다

동일 환경에서 할 수 있는 실험의 크기가 2인 경우 $2^n$요인실험과 그 일부실시법을 설계하려면 교락법을 반복적으로 사용해야한다. $2^n$요인실험 또는 그 일부실시법의 교락법들을 적절히 조합하면 모든 주효과와 2인자 교호작용효과 전부 또는 일부를 검출할 수 있는 실험을 설계할 수 있다. 이런 실험을 설계하기 위해 정의대비를 이용했고 설계된 실험의 처리조합을 제시하였다.

A high-temperature superconductor (HTS) journal bearing was studied for loss. Two HTS bearings support the rotor at top and bottom. The rotor weight is 4 kg and the length is about 300 mm. Both the top and bottom bearings have two permanent magnet (PM) rings with an iron pole piece separating them. Each HTS journal bearing is composed of six pieces of superconductor blocks of size 35$\times$25$\times$10 mm. The HTS blocks are encased in a cryochamber through which liquid nitrogen flows. The inner spool of the cryochamber is made from G-10 to reduce eddy current loss, and the rest of the cryochamber is stainless steel. The magnetic field from the PM rings ＜ 10 mT on the stainless part. The rotational drag was measured over the same speed range. Results indicate that the 10 mT design criteria for magnetic field on the stainless part of the cryochamber is too high.

In this paper, we propose a new fast algorithm for effective scene change detection. The proposed algorithm exploits Otsu threshold matching technique, which was proposed earlier. In this method, the current and the reference frames are divided into square blocks of particular size. After doing so, the pixel histogram of each block is generated. According to Otsu method, every histogram distribution is assumed to be bimodal, i.e. pixel distribution can be divided into two groups, based on within-group variance value. The pixel value that minimizes the within-group variance is said to be Otsu threshold. After Otsu threshold is found, the same procedure is performed at the reference frame. If the difference between Otsu threshold of a block in the current frame and co-located block in the reference frame is larger than predefined threshold, then a scene change between those two blocks is detected.

1비트 변환 (one-bit transform) 및 2비트 변환 (two-bit transform)을 이용하는 이진 블록 매칭 움직임 예측 (motion estimation) 방법은 전역 탐색 (full search) 움직임 예측 방법에 비해 블록 매칭 연산의 복잡도를 감소시키지만 PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio)성능 저하를 야기한다. 이러한 이진 블록 매칭 움직임 예측 방법의 정확도를 개선하기 위해 조건부 국부 탐색 (conditional localsearch)이 더해져 보완된 1비트 변환 (modified one-bit transform) 및 보완된 2비트 변환 (modified two-bit transform) 방법이 제안되었다. 그러나 이와 같이 추가적인 국부 탐색은 움직임이 빠른 영상에 대한 $16{\times}16$ 블록 크기의 움직임 예측에 있어서 많은 수의 추가적인 탐색을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 기존의 조건부 국부 탐색 방법 대신 탐색 영역내의 각 후보 블록들의 (candidate blocks) NNMP(Number of Non-Matching Points)를 기반으로 한 효율적인 탐색 방법을 제안한다. NNMP 기반 탐색 방법을 통하여 작은 NNMP 값을 가지는 후보 블록들을 쉽게 탐색하여 최종 움직임 벡터(motion vector)를 효율적으로 찾을 수 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 방법들보다 복잡도 및 정확도 측면에서 좋은 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

This study is an impact assessment of building blocks on urban inundation depth and area. LiDAR data is used to generate two original data set in terms of DEM with $5{\times}5$ meter and building block elevation layer of the study drainage area in Cheongju and then the building block elevation layer is modified again to the mesh data with same size to DEM. Two-dimensional inundation analysis is carried out by applying 2D SWMM model. The inundation depth calculated by using the building block elevation layer shows higher reliability than the DEM. This is resulted from the building block interference to surface flow. In addition, the maximum flooded area by DEM is two times wider than the area by building block layer. In the case of the surface velocity, the difference of velocity is negligible in either DEM or building block case in the low building impact zone. However, If the impact of building on the surface velocity was increase, the gap of velocity was significant.

In this paper, we propose predictive motion estimatin algorithm which can predict motion without additional side information considering spatio-tempral correlatio of motion vector. This method performs motion prediction of current block using correlation of the motion vector for two spatially adjacent blocks and a temporally adjacent block. Form predicted motion, the position of searhc area is determined. Then in this searhc area, we estimate motion vector of current block using block matching algoirthm. Considering spatial an temporal correlation of motion vector, the proposed method can predict motion precisely much more. Especially when the motion of objects is rapid, this method can estimate motion more precisely without reducing block size or increasing search area. Futhrmore, the proposed method has computation time the same as conventional block matching algorithm. And as it predicts motion from adjacent blocks, it does not require additional side information for adjacent block. Computer simulation results show that motion estimation of proposed method is more precise than that of conventioanl method.

We propose a new content-based image retrieval using a block color co-occurrence matrix (BCCM) and pattern correlogram. In the proposed method, the color feature vectors are extracted by using BCCM that represents the probability of the co-occurrence of two mean colors within blocks. Also the pattern feature vectors are extracted by using pattern correlogram which is combined with spatial correlation of pattern. In the proposed pattern correlogram method. after block-divided image is classified into 48 patterns with respect to the change of the RGB color of the image, joint probability between the same pattern from the surrounding blocks existing at the fixed distance and the center pattern is calculated. Experimental results show that the proposed method can outperform the conventional methods as regards the precision and the size of the feature vector dimension.

Since 1980, Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) have performed 8 round robin tests in gauge block measurement in order to evaluate the measurement capability and the state of environment control of National Calibration and Test Institutions. Two sets of five gauge blocks (nominal size : 1, 3, 10, 25, 100 mm) having different thermal expansion coefficients for each set were circulated for the measurement, and the measurement results were collected and analyzed to evaluate the traceability to the standard of KRISS. The method and results of the test are presented.

The $\pi$-complex membranes of poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) of two silver salts of $AgBF_4$ and $AgCF_3SO_3$ were prepared and tested for the separation of the propylene/propane mixtures. The Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of these complexes showed that the silver salts were dissolved in SEBS up to a silver mole fraction of 0.14, due to $\pi$-complexation between the aromatic C=C bonds of styrene blocks and silver ions. Above this solubility limit, ion pairs and high-order ionic aggregates began to form, so that silver salts were distributed unselectively in both the EB and PS blocks. The domain size of the PS blocks was enlarged up to this critical concentration with increasing silver concentration without structural transitions, as confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). These structural properties of the SEBS/silver salt complexes may explain the lower separation properties for propylene/propane mixtures compared to poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene)(SBS)/silver salt complex membranes.
