저전력을 실현하기 위하여 구조, 논리 및 트랜지스터레벨에서 16비트 덧셈기를 설계하였다. 기존의 ELM덧셈기는 입력 비트 패턴에 의해 계산되는 블록캐리발생신호 (block carry generation signal) 때문에 특정 입력 비트 패턴이 인가되었을 때에는 G셀에서 글리치(glitch)가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 구조레벨에서는 특정 입력 비트 패턴에 대해서 글리치를 피하기 위해 자동적으로 각각의 블록캐리발생신호를 마지막 레벨의 G셀에 전달하는 저전력 덧셈기 구조를 제안하였다. 또한, 논리레벨에서는 정적 CMOS(static CMOS)논리형태와 저전력 XOR게이트로 구성된 저전력 소모에 적합한 조합형 논리형태(combination of logic style)를 사용하였다. 게다가 저전력을 위하여 트랜지스터레벨에서는 각 비트 전파의 논리깊이(logic depth)에 따라서 가변 크기 셀들(variable-sized cells)을 사용하였다. 0.6㎛ 단일폴리 삼중금속 LG CMOS 표준 공정변수를 가지고 16비트 덧셈기를 HSPICE로 모의 실험한 결과, 고정 크기 셀(fixed-sized cell)과 정적 CMOS 논리형태만으로 구성된 기존의 ELM 덧셈기에 비해 본 논문에서 제안된 덧셈기가 전력소모면에서는 23.6%, power-delay-product면에서는 22.6%의 향상을 보였다.

HANARO, 30 MW of research reactor, was installed at the depth of 13m in an open pool. The $90\%$ of primary coolant was designed to pass through the core and to remove the reaction heat of the cote. The rest, $10\%$, of the primary coolant was designed to bypass the core. And the reactor coolant through and bypass the core was inhaled at the top of chimney by the coolant pump to prevent the radiated gas from being lifted to the top of reactor pool. But, the part of core bypass coolant was not inhaled by the reactor coolant pump and reached at the top of reactor pool by natural convection, and increased the radiation lovel on the top of reactor pool. To reduce the radiation level by protecting the natural convection of the core bypass flow, the hot water layer (HWL, hereinafter) was installed with the depth of 1.2 m from the top of reactor pool. As the HWL was normally operated, the radiation level was reduced to five percent ($5\%$) in comparing with that before the installation of the HWL. When HANARO was operated at a higher temperature than the normal temperature of the HWL by operating the standby heater, it was found that the radiation level was more reduced than that before operation. To verify the reason, the heat loss of the HWL was calculated by Visual Basic Program. It was confirmed through the results that the larger the temperature difference between the HWL and reactor hall was, the more the evaporation loss increased. And it was verified that the radiation level above was reduced mote safely by increasing the capacity of heater.

수위측정은 스마트 공장(Smart Factory), 스마트 농장(Smart Farm), 스마트 양식장(Smart Fish Farm) 등 IoT 모니터링 분야에서 활용도가 높다. 그러나 기존의 수위측정 방식은 복잡한 알고리즘과 고가의 센서 위주로 상품성과 산업현장 적용성이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 비접촉식 스마트센서인 적외선 거리 센서와 홀센서 기반 수위측정 방법을 각각 제안하였다. 센서의 고감도로 인해 발생하는 데이터 오류는 간단한 구조도입을 통해 해결함으로써 범용성을 높였다. 구현된 수위측정 방법은 성능평가 실험을 통해 그 유효성이 검증되었다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 센서는 IoT 기술 기반 범용성 수위측정 모니터링 시스템으로 확장될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 피사체의 깊이와 깊이 표현의 상세레벨(detail level)을 각기 다르게 조정한 깊이맵을 이용하여 2D-to-3D 입체변환을 수행하고, 변환된 입체 이미지를 기반으로 시청자 평가 실험을 진행하여 피사체의 절대적 깊이 변화와 배경간의 깊이 차이에 따라 깊이맵의 상세레벨이 깊이감, 볼륨감, 불편감에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 주객체의 깊이는 3 레벨로 조정하였고, 또한, 주객체와 배경과의 상대적 깊이 차이도 하나의 독립변인으로 분석하기 위하여 3 레벨로 조정하였다. 깊이맵의 깊이 표현의 상세레벨을 다시 3레벨로 나누어, 이들 조건을 만족하는 18개의 깊이맵을 정의하고 이를 기반으로 실험을 위한 입체영상을 생성하였다. 18개의 입체영상을 실험참가자에게 보여 주고 설문을 통하여 각 영상별로 실험자들이 느끼는 주관적 입체감, 볼륨감, 불편감을 조사하였다. 그 결과 주 피사체의 절대적 위치와 피사체-배경간의 상대적 거리차이가 달라짐에 따라 깊이맵의 상세도가 깊이감, 볼륨감, 불편감에 미치는 영향력이 달라지는 결과를 얻었다. 단색 깊이맵의 경우는 주객체의 절대적 깊이위치에 상관없이 전반적으로 볼륨감을 크게 훼손하고, 스크린의 안쪽에 객체가 위치하는 경우, 다른 상세레벨의 깊이맵에 비해 깊이감도 크게 저하시키는 효과를 보이기 때문에 주객체의 절대적 위치와 상관없이 사용을 피하는 것이 바람직 한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 세밀한 깊이맵과 간략한 깊이맵을 적용하였을 때 실험자가 입체감을 크게 다르게 느끼지 못하는 것으로 나타남에 따라 입체변환시 모든 장면에 너무 과도하게 상세한 깊이맵을 구성할 필요가 없는 것으로 분석되었다.

Status of endometrium is a very important factor which influences the implantation of fertilized embryos. In this study, we evaluated the possibility that the endometrial depth and pattern assessed by vaginal sonography on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles could be used to predict the IVF outcome. A total of 112 cycles using gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) for ovulation induction were evaluated. We classified all patients into group A(<9mm) or group B(${\geq}$ 9mm) according to endometrial depth, and into group l(hyperechogenic), group 2(isoechogenic) or group 3(hypoechogenic and triple line) according to endometrial pattern. The other classification was made considering both endometrial depth and pattern. There was no significant correlation between serum estradiol level and endometrial sonographic findings(depth and pattern)(p>0.05). The pregnancy rate of group A(31.3%) did not differ significantly from that of group B(43.7%), but no pregnancies were found in any patients with endometrial depth less than 6mm. The pregnancy rate was 40%, 35.7%, and 44.6 % for group 1, gorup 2, and group 3, respectively, but there was no statistically significant difference between these groups(p>0.05). In combined classification, there was a trend of higher pregnancy rate in case of endometrial depth greater than 9mm and hypoechogenic triple line pattern, but there was no statistically significant differences between these groups(p>0.05). The conclusion from the present data is that endometrial ultrasonography on the day of hCG administration had no predictive value for conception in IVF cycles.

본 연구의 목적은 웹드라마가 사용하고 있는 온라인 동영상 플랫폼들을 대상으로 접근단계 분석과 광고 노출빈도 측정을 통해, 동영상 플랫폼의 사용성을 개선하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 웹드라마 시장의 점유율을 확인하고 접근단계와 광고회피를 바탕으로 채널간의 비교를 실시하였다. 그 결과 최신 콘텐츠에 대한 접근단계는 2~3단계이며 접근단계로 인하여 사용성이 낮아지지 않았다. 하지만 메인페이지나 검색결과에 노출되지 않아 디렉토리 검색이 필요한 경우 5~6단계의 접근단계가 필요하였다. 광고는 모든 플랫폼에서 2개 이상의 이미지광고가 표시되며, 유튜브와 네이버tv는 동영상 플레이어 내부에서 영상시작 전 프리롤(Pre-roll) 광고를 표시하는 것을 확인했다. 위와 같은 동영상 플랫폼 정보구조 상에서 디렉토리 검색을 하는 경우 높은 접근단계와 많은 광고노출로 사용자의 이탈률이 증가하고, 재방문 빈도가 낮아질 것으로 예상된다. 이를 개선하기 위해 드롭다운(Drop-Down) 메뉴를 활용하여 접근단계를 줄이는 정보구조 개선 프로토타입을 제안한다.

Background: Optimal needle depth in transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI) is determined by body measurements and is influenced by the needle entry angle. Physician can choose the appropriate needle length and perform the procedure more effectively if depth is predicted in advance. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with lumbosacral pain from a single university hospital. The skin depth from the target point was measured using magnetic resonance imaging transverse images. The depth was measured bilaterally for L4 and L5 TFEIs at 15°, 20°, and 25° oblique angles from the spinous process. Results: A total of 4,632 measurements of 386 patients were included. The lengths of the left and right TFEI at the same level and oblique angle were assessed, and no statistical differences were identified. Therefore, linear regression analysis was performed for bilateral L4 and L5 TFEIs. The R-squared values of height and weight combined were higher than the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). The following equation was established: Depth (mm) = a - b (height, cm) + c (weight, kg). Based on the equation, maximal BMI capable with a 23G, 3.5-inch, Quincke-type point spinal needle was presented for three different angles (15°, 20°, and 25°) at lumbar levels L4 and L5. Conclusions: The maximal BMI that derived from the formulated equation is listed on the table, which can help in preparations for morbid obesity. If a patient has bigger BMI than the one in the table, the clinician should prepare longer needle than the usual spinal needle.

The purpose of this study was to make and ascertain a decision making process on the base of patient-oriented utilitarianism in the treatment of patients of chronic adult periodontitis. Fifty subjects were chosen in Yonsei Dental hospital and the other fifty were chosen in Severance dental hospital according to the selection criteria. Fifty four patients agreed in this study. NS group(N=32) was treated with scaling and root planing without any surgical intervention, the other S group(N=22) done with flap operation. During the active treatment and healing time, all patients of both groups were educated about the importance of oral hygiene and controlled every visit to the hospital. When periodontal treatment needed according to the diagnostic results, some patients were subjected to professional tooth cleaning and scaling once every 3 months according to an individually designed oral hygienic protocol. Probing depth was recorded on baseline and 18 months after treatments. A questionnaire composed of 6 kinds(hygienic easiness, hypersensitivity, post treatment comfort, complication, functional comfort, compliance) of questions was delivered to each patient to obtain the subjective evaluation regarding the results of therapy. The decision tree for the treatment of adult periodontal disease was made on the result of 2 kinds of periodontal treatment and patient's ubjective evaluation. The optimal path was calculated by using the success rate of the results as the probability and utility according to relative value and the economic value in the insurance system. The success rate to achieve the diagnostic goal of periodontal treatment as the remaining pocket depth less than 3mm and without BOP was $0.83{\pm}0.12$ by non surgical treatment and $0.82{\pm}0.14$ by surgical treatment without any statistically significant difference. The moderate success rate of more than 4mm probing pocket depth were 0.17 together. The utilities of non-surgical treatment results were 100 for a result with less than 3mm probing pocket depth, 80 for the other results with more than 4mm probing pocket depth, 0 for the extraction. Those of surgical treatment results were the same except 75 for the results with more than 4mm. The pooling results of subjective evaluation by using a questionnaire were 60% for satisfaction level and 40% for no satisfaction level in the patient group receiving nonsurgical treatment and 33% and 67% in the other group receiving surgical treatment. The utilities for 4 satisfaction levels were 100, 75, 60, 50 on the base of that the patient would express the satisfaction level with normal distribution. The optimal path of periodontal treatment was rolled back by timing the utility on terminal node and the success rate, the distributed ratio of patient's satisfaction level. Both results of the calculation was non surgical treatment. Therefore, it can be said that non-surgical treatment may be the optimal path for this decision tree of treatment protocol if the goal of the periodontal treatment is to achieve the remaining probing pocket depth of less than 3mm for adult chronic periodontitis and if the utilitarian philosophy to maximise the expected utility for the patients is advocated.

The buffer and backfill are important components of the engineered barrier system in a high-level waste repository, which should be constructed in a hard rock formation at a depth of several hundred meters below the ground surface. The primary function of the buffer and backfill is to seal the underground excavation as a preferred flow path for radionuclide migration from the deposited high-level waste. This study investigates the hydraulic conductivity and swelling pressure of Kyungju Ca-bentonite, which is the candidate material for the buffer and backfill in the Korean reference high-level waste disposal system. The factors that influence the hydraulic conductivity and swelling pressure of the buffer and backfill are analyzed. The factors considered are the dry density, the temperature, the sand content, the salinity and the organic carbon content. The possibility of deterioration in the sealing performance of the buffer and backfill is also assessed.
