Gamut compression algorithms have traditionally been defined functionally and then tested with deductive methods, e.g., psychophysical experiments. Our study offers an alternative, an inductive method, in which observers judge image colors to represent the original images more accurately. We developed a computer-controlled interactive tool that modifies the color appearance of pictorial images displayed on a monitor. In experiments, observers used the tool to alter color pixels according to the region of color space to which they belonged. We created three different gamut compression algorithms based on the observer experimental data. Observer groups evaluated the performance of the newly-developed algorithms, existing gamut compression algorithms, and an image based on the average observers' results from experiments in this study. The study of gamut extension is unlike the study of gamut compression in that it mainly deals with the degree of image pleasantness as judged by observers. The results of the gamut extension experiments in this study not only make available worthwhile data but also suggest a methodology for using the observer experimental tool for future gamut extension research.

본 연구는 초음파 영상(ultrasound imaging)을 이용하여 네발기기 자세(quadruped position)에서 골반압박벨트(pelvic compression belt)가 뭇갈래근과 척추세움근의 근두께에 융합적으로 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 대상자는 30명의 남자대학생으로 실험에 자발적으로 참여한 자로 선정하였다. 골반압박벨트를 위앞엉덩뼈가시아래(anterior superior iliac spines)에 착용한 상태와 착용하지 않은 상태에서 네발기기 자세를 실시하였고, 초음파영상 진단장치를 이용하여 근 두께를 측정하였다. 자료분석은 반복측정분산분석을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 뭇갈래근의 경우 골반압박벨트를 착용하였을 때가 착용하지 않았을 때보다 근두께가 유의하게 증가하였고(p<.05), 척추세움근의 경우도 골반압박벨트를 착용하였을 때가 착용하지 않았을 때보다 근두께가 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). 따라서 본 연구결과를 통해 골반압박벨트의 착용이 요통환자에게 효과적이며, 임상에서 다양한 네발기기 자세운동의 처방과 적용 시에 유용한 자료로 활용하고자 한다.

A three dimensional finite model of a human neck has been developed in an effort to study the mechanics of cervical spin while subjected to vertical impact. This model consisting of the vertebrae from C1 through C7 including posterior element and ligaments was constructed by 2mm thick transverse CT cross-sections and X-ray film taken at lateral side. Geometrical nonlinearity was also considered for the large deformation on the disc. ABAQUS package was used for calculation and its results were verified comparing with responses of a model under static loading condition with published in-vitro experimental data. There were more cervical fracture in the restrained (compression) mode than in the nonrestrained (flexion-compression and extension-compression) mode. Upper cervical(C1-C2) injuries were observed under compression-extension modes, while lower cervical injuries occurred undjer compression-flexion modes. Posterior ligament distraction without bony damage at the upper cervical spin(C1-C2) were observed secondary to C5-C7 trauma in compression-flexion modes.

양산단층의 구조운동사를 해석하기 위하여 양산단층의 주향을 따라양산시에서 경북 신광면까지 37개 지점에서 단층조선이 발달된 약 1,000개의 소단층과 330개의 인장절리를 분석하였다. 그 결과 순서별로 (I)NW-SE 신장, (Il) ENE-WSW 압축과 NNW-SSE 신장, (III) NW-SE 압축, (VI) NNE-SSW 신장, (V) E-W 압추과 N-S 신장, 그리고 (VI) NNE-SSW 압축과 신장의 6개의 지구조 사건이 복원되었다.이렇게 얻어진 6개의 순차적인 지구조 사건으로부터 북북동향하는 양산단층의 운동를 해석할때, 양산단츠의 형성 초기에는 NW-SE 신장기를 갖는 지구조 사건 (I)과 연관된 인장절리가 발달하였고, 후에 지구조 사건(I)과 매우 밀접한 사건(Il)에 의해 우수향 주향이동을 하였다. 이러한 운동은 마이오세 말까지 지속되었으며, 이 시기가 양상단층이 가장 활발이 운동했던 시기로 해석된다. 후속되는 지구조 사건(III)과 (VI)에 의해 양상단층은 좌수향 주향이동을 하였다. 그 후 양산단층의 운동은 단층주향에 직각으로 작용하는 사건 (V)에 의해 일시적으로 접지도었다. 이기간은 시기적으로 매우 일시적이었으며 응력의 크기도 역기 작은 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 지구조 사건 (VI)에 의한 미약한 신장 혹은 우수향 주향이동을 하였다.

가스스프링은 가스가 압축될 때 가지게 되는 압력을 스프링과 같이 사용하는 형태로, 광범위한 산업분야에 사용되고 있고 그 수요 또한 증가하고 있다. 이 가스스프링은 압축 스프링과 인장 스프링으로 나뉠 수 가 있는데, 압축 스프링과 달리인장 스프링의 경우는 피스톤 속도 제어에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 2중 실린더 구조를 갖는 인장 가스스프링에서의 압력 손실 계산을 통하여 피스톤 반발압력의 크기를 이론적으로 예측하였고, 피스톤과 실린더 사이의 마찰이 작은 경우와 큰 경우에 대하여 피스톤의 실제 거동을 모사해 보았다. 수치해석을 위해서는 유동해석분야에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 FLUENT를 이용하였고, 피스톤의 거동을 모사하기 위하여 FLUENT에서 제공하는 6-DOF 모델과 사용자정의함수(User Defined Function)를 사용하였다. 격자는 Layering 기법만으로도 Dynamic mesh가 성공적으로 구현되도록 피스톤 전후의 유동영역을 따로 분할하여 다른 형태의 격자를 생성하였다. 해석 결과 두 경우 다 최종적으로는 목표로 하는 속도로 피스톤이 복귀하는 결과를 보였으나, 최종 속도에 도달하는 과정에서 다른 차이를 보였다.

The paper presents results of FE-calculations on shear localizations in quasi-brittle materials during both an uniaxial plane strain compression and uniaxial plane strain extension. An elasto-plastic model with a linear Drucker-Prager type criterion using isotropic hardening and softening and non-associated flow rule was used. A non-local extension was applied in a softening regime to capture realistically shear localization and to obtain a well-posed boundary value problem. A characteristic length was incorporated via a weighting function. Attention was focused on the effect of mesh size, mesh alignment, non-local parameter and imperfections on the thickness and inclination of shear localization. Different methods to calculate plastic strain rates were carefully discussed.

This study investigated the spinal loads(L5/S1 disc compression and shear forces) predicted from four biomechanical models: one EMG model and three optimization models. Three objective functions used in the optimization models were to miminize 1) the cubed muscle forces : MF3, 2) the cubed muscle stress : MS3, 3) maximum muscle intensity : MI. Twelve healthy male subjects participated in the isometric voluntary exertion tests to six directions : flexion/extension, left/right lateral bending, clockwise/ counterclockwise twist. EMG signals were measured from ten trunk muscles and spinal loads were assessed at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90%MVE(maximum voluntary exertion) in each direction. Three optimization models predicted lower L5/S1 disc compression forces than the EMG model, on average, by 31%(MF3), 27%(MS3), 8%(MI). Especially, in twist and extension, the differences were relatively large. Anterior-posterior shear forces predicted from optimization models were lower, on average, by 27%(MF3), 21%(MS3), 9%(MI) than by the EMG model, especially in flexion(MF3 : 45%, MS3 : 40%, MI : 35%). Lateral shear forces were predicted far less than anterior-posterior shear forces(total average = 124 N), and the optimization models predicted larger values than the EMG model on average. These results indicated that the optimization models could underestimate compression forces during twisting and extension, and anterior-posterior shear forces during flexion. Thus, future research should address the antagonistic coactivation, one major reason of the difference between optimization models and the EMG model, in the optimization models.

Background : Prone hip extension (PHE) is commonly used for exercises and tests in patients with low back pain. Previous studies have shown that pelvic compression belts (PCB) and non-elastic taping (NET) contribute greatly to improvements in lumbopelvic stability. This study aimed to compare the effect of two lumbopelvic stability methods such as PCB and NET on the trunk and hip extensor muscle activities during PHE tests. Methods: Subjects who experienced low back pain (low back pain group, LBPG; n=20) and those who did not experience low back pain (non-LBPG; n=20) participated in this study. The subjects were instructed to perform PHE with and without a PCB and NET. PHE tests were performed in the condition wherein the two stabilization methods were applied, and the actions of the muscles at that time were measured using surface electromyography (EMG). EMG data were collected from the hamstring, gluteus maximus, erector spine (ES), and multifidus (MF) muscles. The data were collected three times for 5 s with a 1-min rest between each of the three sets. Results: In the LBPG, EMG of the ES muscle was significantly reduced when NET or a PCB was applied (p<.05). There was no difference in the change in the ES muscle activity when NET and a PCB were applied. The ratio of MF/ES muscleactivity showed a significant increase in the LBPG with NET (p<.05). Conclusion: Both NET and PCB applied to subjects who experienced low back pain significantly reduced the ES muscle activity during PHE exercises and helped control the balance of the superficial and deep trunk extensor muscles.

A trend in 3D mesh compression is codec design with low computational complexity which preserves the input vertex and face order. However, this added information increases the complexity. We present a fast 3D mesh compression method that compresses the redundant shared vertex information between neighboring faces using simple first-order differential coding followed by fast entropy coding with a fixed length prefix. Our algorithm is feasible for low complexity designs and maintains the order, which is now part of the MPEG-4 scalable complexity 3D mesh compression standard. The proposed algorithm is 30 times faster than MPEG-4 3D mesh coding extension.
