A three dimensional linear frequency-domain lifting surface panel method was used for the aerodynamic analysis of axial flow type micro-fans. As proven by the duct modeling, the tip clearance of the micro-fans tested is large enough to ignore the calculated effect of the duct system. As the numerical results and experimental data agreed well in the operating point region, the method was applicable in the parametric studies to determine the design parameters of axial flow fans. Experiments on micro-fans were carried out based on KS B 6311. The newly designed micro-fan showed improvements in both static pressure rise and volumetric flow rate compared to the existing fans at a given operating condition. No detection of surging and the smooth characteristic curve proved the improvement in performance. To reduce the fan noise in the fan design, it was necessary to make use of the frequency spectrum analysis data. Measurement of sound pressure level for micro-fans was conducted based on KS B 6361 and KS A 0705. The peak - which occurs at blade passage frequency and its higher harmonics due to the fan noise - was not detected. This justifies the design methodology of the blade.

This paper is concerned with the modeling and identification of pH neutralization process as nonlinear chemical system. The pH control has been applied to various chemical processes such as wastewater treatment, chemical, and biochemical industries. But the control of the pH is very difficult due to its highly nonlinear nature which is the titration curve with the steepest slope at the neutralization point. We apply SVM which have become an increasingly popular tool for machine teaming tasks such as classification, regression or detection to model pH process which has strong nonlinearities. Linear and radial basis function kernels are employed and each result has been compared. So SVH based on kernel method have been found to work well. Simulations have shown that the SVM based on the kernel substitution including linear and radial basis function kernel provides a promising alternative to model strong nonlinearities of the pH neutralization but also to control the system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the diagnosis of incipient furcation involvement with periapical radiography (PR) and 2 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging protocols, and to test metal artifact interference. Materials and Methods: Mandibular second molars in 10 macerated pig mandibles were divided into those that showed no furcation involvement and those with lesions in the furcation area. Exams using PR and 2 different CBCT imaging protocols were performed with and without a metallic post. Each image was analyzed twice by 2 observers who rated the absence or presence of furcation involvement according to a 5-point scale. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the observations. Results: The accuracy of the CBCT imaging protocols ranged from 67.5% to 82.5% in the images obtained with a metallic post and from 72.5% to 80% in those without a metallic post. The accuracy of PR ranged from 37.5% to 55% in the images with a metallic post and from 42.5% to 62.5% in those without a metallic post. The area under the ROC curve values for the CBCT imaging protocols ranged from 0.813 to 0.802, and for PR ranged from 0.503 to 0.448. Conclusion: Both CBCT imaging protocols showed higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than PR in the detection of incipient furcation involvement. Based on these results, CBCT may be considered a reliable tool for detecting incipient furcation involvement following a clinical periodontal exam, even in the presence of a metallic post.

본 논문에서는 아바타를 자동으로 생성하기 위한 컬러 이미지 상에서의 얼굴, 눈, 입술 윤곽선 검출 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법에서는 먼저 조명의 영향을 최대한 배제하기 위하여 HSI 색상 모델을 사용하였고 I 정보를 제외한 HS 평면상에서 피부색을 정의하고 이를 이용하여 입력된 이미지로부터 피부 영역을 검출하였다. 그리고 변형가능 템플릿과 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 얼굴, 눈, 입의 윤곽선을 검출하였다. 여기서 변형가능 템플릿은 B-spline 곡선과 컨트롤 포인트 벡터로 이루어지며, 이것은 다양한 얼굴, 눈, 입술 모양의 표현을 가능하게 한다. 또 유전자 알고리즘은 자연계의 진화와 선택원리를 응용한 매우 효율적인 탐색 알고리즘이다 다음으로, 검출된 얼굴과 각 요소들의 윤곽선과 퍼지 C-평균 군집화를 이용하여 아바타를 생성하게 된다. 퍼지 C-평균 군집화는 얼굴색을 일정한 수로 단순화하는 과정에서 사용하였다. 결과적으로, 이와 같은 기법을 이용하여 기존의 정해진 이미지를 가지고 표현하던 아바타와는 달리 사용자의 특성을 표현할 수 있는 아바타를 자동으로 생성할 수 있다.

Vector data compression algorithm can meet requirements of different levels and scales by reducing the data amount of vector graphics, so as to reduce the transmission, processing time and storage overhead of data. In view of the fact that large threshold leading to comparatively large error in Douglas-Peucker vector data compression algorithm, which has difficulty in maintaining the uncertainty of shape features and threshold selection, a segmented Douglas-Peucker algorithm based on node importance is proposed. Firstly, the algorithm uses the vertical chord ratio as the main feature to detect and extract the critical points with large contribution to the shape of the curve, so as to ensure its basic shape. Then, combined with the radial distance constraint, it selects the maximum point as the critical point, and introduces the threshold related to the scale to merge and adjust the critical points, so as to realize local feature extraction between two critical points to meet the requirements in accuracy. Finally, through a large number of different vector data sets, the improved algorithm is analyzed and evaluated from qualitative and quantitative aspects. Experimental results indicate that the improved vector data compression algorithm is better than Douglas-Peucker algorithm in shape retention, compression error, results simplification and time efficiency.

Purpose: to evaluate the usefulness of the panoramic radiography, generally used in dental clinic, for the detection of the maxillary sinus pathosis due to the inflammation and tumor, through the comparison with CT findings as the absolute standard. Materials & Methods: 150 maxillary sinuses of 75 patients with or without particular signs and symptoms and showing soft tissue lesions or destruction of maxillary sinus walls in at least one sinus in CT, were selected as subject samples, and the panoramic radiography of the same patients were interpretated by 3 dental radiologists and 3 non dental radiologist given no previous informations. Using the CT findings as the absolute standard, the diagnostic ability of panoraimc radiography in the mucosal thickening, maxillary sinus haziness, inferior wall destruction, medial wall destruction, posterolateral wall destruction and the superior wall destruction was evaluated using the ROC curve and the difference between dental radiologist group and non dental radiologist group was also evaluated. Results: 1. When dental radiologist group interpretated the destruction of inferior wall and posterolateral wall, the kappa value which shows interobserver's coincidence was above 0.75. 2. The diagnostic ability according to site of interpretation was the highest when the inferior wall was interpretated in both observer groups and there was a statistically significant difference between the dental radiologist group and non dental radiologist group in interpretating the mucosal thickening, haziness, destruction of the inferior and medial wall(p<0.05). 3. The diagnostic ability in detecting the destruction of the sinus walls was better than in soft tissue lesions in both groups and between the groups there was a statistically significant difference(p<0.05). Conclusion: When detecting the destruction of inferior and posterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus there was coincident with that of CT findings, and so it is considered that diagnostic ability of panoramic radiography is high in this point. But in interpretating the destruction of medial wall and soft tissue lesions, diagnostic ability of the panoramic radiography was relatively low and there was a significant difference between the dental radiologist group and non dental radiologist group. Therefore CT or other auxiliary diagnostic method will be necessary when evaluating thorough pathosis of maxillary sinus objectively.

SBR 처리공정의 자동제어 인자로서의 ORP, pH, DO의 안정성과 유용성을 비교 평가하였다. 시스템 운전동안 ORP와 pH(mV)-time profile 상에서 요염물질의 특이적인 변화시점을 나타내는 NBP와 NKP가 잘 나타났으며 이 시점은 MSC(moving slope change)를 이용하여 쉽게 인식될 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 부하량과 포기량 혹은 시스템 OUR이 불균형일 때는 DO나 ORP-time profile 상에서 NBP로 잘못 인식될 수 있는 가짜 제어시점이 여러 번 발생하거나 혹은 제어시점으로 인식할만한 변화가 전혀 발생하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 pH(mV)-time profile에서는 어떤 운전조건과 상태에서도 항상 뚜렷한 NBP가 발생하고 MSC를 이용한 제어시점 인식이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 호기적 처리과정 중의 시스템 진단과 자동제어 인자로 ORP나 DO 보다 pH(mV)가 안정적임을 알 수 있었다. 반면 무산소 상태의 모니터나 제어에 있어서는 pH(mV)-time profile에서 NKP를 안정적으로 인식하는 데에는 한계가 있었으나 ORP에서는 매우 안정적인 것으로 나타나 무산소 처리과정의 진단/제어인자로는 ORP가 다른 인자들 보다 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 미뤄 SBR 공정의 안정적인 자동제어를 위해서는 ORP 혹은 pH(mV)를 단독으로 이용하는 것 보다는 병용하는 것이 바람직하며, 이러한 자동제어기술은 유입수내 오염물질의 농도 변이와 운전여건에 상관없이 항상 오염물질의 완전제거를 가능케 함은 물론 처리시간 및 처리용량의 최적화를 위한 실용적 기술이 될 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라는 지난 30년 동안 기후변화 및 도시화 등으로 인한 변화가 급격하게 진행된 바 있으므로, 두 가지 요소들로 인한 유량의 변동량을 정량화하여 분석할 필요가 있다. 그러나 유량의 변동량을 특정 원인별로 구분하여 분석하고자 하는 국내 연구는 매우 미미한 형편이며, 다양한 시간단위를 이용한 원인별 유량 변동량의 산정에 관한 연구는 더욱 찾아보기 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화 및 인간활동으로 인한 유량 변동량을 정량적으로 분리하기 위하여 수문모형을 이용한 방법과 수문학적 민감도(hydrological sensitivity) 분석 방법을 소양강 상류유역 및 섬강 유역에 대해 적용하고 유량 변동량의 결과를 월별, 분기별 및 연별로 구분하여 제시하였다. 인간활동으로 인해 발생되는 급진적인 변동점을 탐색하기 위해 이중누가곡선, Pettitt 검정 및 베이지안 변동점(Bayesian change point) 분석을 시행하였으며, 탐색된 변동점을 활용하여 변동점 이전 구간에 대해 보정 및 검증된 SWAT모형과 6가지의 Budyko 곡선 함수들로부터 각각 유량 변동량을 산정하여 수문모형에 의한 유량 변동량을 검증하였다.

The objectives of this study were to examine serum periplakin expression in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder and in normal controls, and to examine relationships with clinicopathological findings. Detection of serum periplakin was performed in 50 patients and 30 normal controls with anti-periplakin antibodies using the automatic dot blot system, and a micro-dot blot array with a 256 solid-pin system. Levels in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder were significantly lower than those in normal controls (0.31 and 5.68, respectively; p<0.0001). The area under the receiver-operator curve level for urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder was 0.845. The sensitivity and specificity, using a cut-off point of 4.045, were 83.7% and 73.3%, respectively. In addition, serum periplakin levels were significantly higher in patients with muscle-invasive cancer than in those with nonmuscle-invasive cancer (P = 0.03). In multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, none of the clinicopathological factors was associated with an increased risk for progression and cancer-specific survival. Examination of the serum periplakin level may play a role as a non-invasive diagnostic modality to aid urine cytology and cystoscopy.
