We developed the projected l-axial skew-normal(LASN) family of distributions for I-axial data. The LASN family of distributions contains the semicircular skew-normal(SCSN) and the circular skew-normal(CSN) families of distributions as special cases. The LASN densities are similar to the wrapped skew-normal densities for the small values of the scale parameter. However CSN densities have more heavy tails than those of the wrapped skew-normal densities on the circle. Furthermore the CSN densities have two modes as the scale parameter increases. The LASN distribution has very convenient mathematical features. We extend the LASN family of distributions to a bivariate case.

An affine invariant descriptor is proposed, which is able to well represent the affine covariant regions. Estimating main orientation is still problematic in many existing method, such as SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) and SURF (speeded up robust features). Instead of aligning the estimated main orientation, in this paper ellipse orientation is directly used. According to ellipse orientation, affine covariant regions are firstly divided into 4 sub-regions with equal angles. Since affine covariant regions are divided from the ellipse orientation, the divided sub-regions are rotation invariant regardless the rotation, if any, of ellipse. Meanwhile, the affine covariant regions are normalized into a circular region. In the end, the gradients of pixels in the circular region are calculated and the partition-based descriptor is created by using the gradients. Compared with the existing descriptors including MROGH, SIFT, GLOH, PCA-SIFT and spin images, the proposed descriptor demonstrates superior performance according to extensive experiments.

This paper presents a high-performance dual-circularly polarized feed employing a dielectric-filled circular waveguide. Novel features are incorporated in the proposed feed, such as a dielectric rod radiator for high gain and good impedance matching; dual quarter-wave chokes for low axial ratio over wide angles and for low back radiation; an integrated septum polarizer; and two end-launch-type coaxial-to-waveguide transitions. The proposed feed shows excellent performance at 5.0 GHz to 5.2 GHz.

The distributional pattern of the bast fibres strands or bundles in the stems of Sida species represented in Nigeria is studied. Three major patterns of arrangement are recognized, namely aggregation of fibre strands into units with wedge-shaped, or triangular, rectangular, rhomboidal, square and trapezoid outlines; serial arrangement of fibre strands into rings or circular, ovoid, semi-circular or crescentic rows; and intermediate pattern in which both fibre strands-aggregates and serial rows of strands patterns are combined. The first pattern is found in S. linifolia, S. urens and S. scabrida, the second in S. cordifolia, S. pilosa, S. ovata, S. rhombifolia and S. spinosa, and the third in S. garckeana, and S. acuta. A dichotomous key based on these features is presented. Dimensional characteristics of the bast fibre cells are also given.

The performance of the typical VAV dampers; blade type, venturi type and blade-orifice type, for the circular duct, is obtained by measuring the volume flow rate as a function of the opening degree. The performance features are discussed by comparing the volume flow rate of each damper. It is shown that the blade-orifice type damper, recently developed, is excellent in its linearity of the performance and that it is worse than the blade type but much better than the venturi type in its flow resistance.

Generally, to get the minimum distance between two arbitrary shapes that are composed of circular arcs and lines, we must calculate distances for all the possible pairs of the components from two given shapes. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for the minimum distance problem between two shapes by using their structural features after extracting the reduced component lists which are essential to calculate the minimum distance considering the relationship of shape location. Even though the reduced component lists may contain all the components of the shapes in the worst case, in the average we can reduce the required computation much by using the reduced component lists. This method may be efectively applied to calculating the minimum distance between two shapes which are generated by the CAD tool, like in the nesting system.

최근 다시점 카메라 시스템을 기반으로 한 3차원 영상 렌더링 방법을 통해 3차원 콘텐츠가 많이 제작되고 있다. 이러한 깊이 영상 기반 렌더링에서는 필연적으로 색상 카메라와 깊이 카메라 간의 시점 차이가 발생하기 때문에 두 카메라의 시점을 일치시키는 전처리 과정으로서 카메라 파라미터가 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 기존의 카메라 캘리브레이션 방법은 평면의 체스보드 패턴을 회전과 이동이 수행된 여러 자세로 촬영한 다음 획득된 영상에서 패턴 특징 점을 손으로 직접 선택해야하는 불편함이 따른다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해소하기 위해 원형 샘플 화소 검사와 호모그래피 예측을 이용한 반자동 카메라 캘리브레이션을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 먼저 FAST 코너 검출 알고리즘을 이용하여 패턴 특징 점의 후보를 영상으로부터 추출한다. 다음으로 원형 샘플 화소를 검사하여 후보군의 크기를 줄이고 호모그래피 예측을 통해 손실된 패턴 특징 점을 보완하는 완전한 패턴 특징 점군을 획득한다. 마지막으로 쌍곡 포물면 근사를 통해 실수 단위의 정확성을 가지는 패턴 특징 점의 위치를 획득한다. 실험을 통해 각 단계에서 어떤 요인이 패턴 특징 점 검출에 영향을 미치는가에 대해 조사했고 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법과 비교하여 카메라 파라미터의 정확성은 유지하고 수작업의 불편함을 해소할 수 있음을 확인했다.

Purpose: The Roux en Y method has rarely been performed due to longer operation time and high risk of complication, despite several merits including prevention of bile reflux. We conducted a retrospective review of the result of Roux en Y reconstruction using two circular staplers after subtotal gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: From December 2008 to May 2009, a total of 26 patients underwent Roux en Y reconstruction using two circular staplers after subtotal gastrectomy, and seventy-two patients underwent Billroth-I reconstruction. Roux en Y anastomosis was performed using two circular staplers without hand sewing anastomosis. We compared clinicopathologic features and surgical outcomes between the two groups. All patients underwent gastrofiberscopy between six and twelve months after surgery to compare the bile reflux. Results: No significant differences in clinicopathologic findings were observed between the two groups, except for the rate of minimal invasive surgery (P=0.004) and cancer stage (P=0.002). No differences in the rate of morbidity (P=0.353) and admission duration (P=0.391) were observed between the two groups. Gastrofiberscopic findings showed a significant reduction of bile reflux in the remnant stomach in the Roux en Y group (P=0.019). Conclusions: When compared with Billroth-I reconstruction, Roux en Y reconstruction using the double stapler technique was found to reduce bile reflux in the remnant stomach without increasing postoperative morbidity. Based on these results, we planned to begin a randomized controlled clinical trial for comparison of Roux en Y reconstruction using this method with Billroth-I anastomosis.

The time reversal was investigated for direct root between PZT and PZT, but in case of a circular PZT, lamb wave moves not only along the direct root but also another roots. The center frequency of lamb wave is kept when the lamb waves are reflected from damage. This paper presents experimental and theoretical results for the new structural health monitoring method by above features of lamb wave, and we can increase accuracy of the new structural health monitoring method by using STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform).

This paper presents a quasi-steady model of vibrations of two cylinders in a side-by-side arrangement. The cylinders have flexible support and equal diameters. The model assumes that both cylinders participate in the process of vibration, each of them having two degrees of freedom. The movement of cylinders is described by a set of four non-linear differential equations. These equations are evaluated on the basis of a numerical simulation and experimental data. Moreover many features of cylinder vibrations are found from numerical results and are described in this paper.
