In this paper, the MFL (magnetic flux leakage) signals of complex defects on the underground gas pipeline are analyzed and their depths are estimated. Since closely-located defects (complex defects) affect each other, accelerate the progress of defection, and are finally combined to one (cluster), it's meaningful to differentiate complex defects from single defects by analyzing their characteristics. Various types of complex defects are characterized and analyzed by defining the safety distance for interference. 26 artificial defects are carved on the pipeline simulation facility (PSF) to analyze the characteristics of complex defect and demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed complex defect estimation. The proposed method shows average length error of 5.8 mm, average width error of 15.55 mm, and average depth error of 8.59%, respectively.

Background: Previous studies have shown that if performed without radiographic guidance, the loss of resistance (LOR) technique can result in inaccurate needle placement in up to 30% of lumbar epidural blocks. To date, no study has shown the efficacy of measuring the depth of the posterior complex (ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and posterior dura) ultrasonographically to distinguish true and false LOR. Methods: 40 cervical epidural blocks were performed using the LOR technique and confirmed by epidurograms. Transverse ultrasound images of the C6/7 area were taken before each cervical epidural block, and the distances from the skin to the posterior complex, transverse process, and supraspinous ligament were measured on each ultrasound view. The number of LOR attempts was counted, and the depth of each LOR was measured with a standard ruler. Correlation of false and true positive LOR depth with ultrasonographically measured depth was also statistically analyzed. Results: 76.5% of all cases (26 out of 34) showed false positive LOR. Concordance correlation coefficients between the measured distances on ultrasound (skin to ligamentum flavum) and actual needle depth were 0.8285 on true LOR. Depth of the true positive LOR correlated with height and weight, with a mean of $5.64{\pm}1.06cm$, while the mean depth of the false positive LOR was $4.08{\pm}1.00cm$. Conclusions: Ultrasonographic measurement of the ligamentum flavum depth (or posterior complex) preceding cervical epidural block is beneficial in excluding false LOR and increasing success rates of cervical epidural blocks.

아파트 단지 내 대형교목은 공동주택 외부환경의 질적 수준을 좌우하는 주요한 요인이다. 이것은 단지의 랜드 마크적 활용 및 공간 상징성 제고를 위한 목적으로 활용된다. 그러나 대형교목의 식재는 높은 유지관리비용 및 하자의 발생으로 오히려 외부환경의 질적 저하를 초래하는 요인이 되기도 한다. 이에 본 연구는 공동주택 인공지반에 식재되는 대형 교목을 대상으로, 식재실태를 분석하여 대형교목의 식재 개선방향 제시를 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 3개 대상지의 대형교목(R20이상) 총 265주를 대상으로, 조경설계계획 및 현장설계 변경사항, 그리고 준공실태를 관련 설계도서 및 현장 조사를 기반으로 식재 현황 및 최소 생육 토심, 추가 토심조치 유형 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 공동주택의 대형교목 조경설계는 85% 심근성 수종으로 평균 R35의 대형교목이 인공지반에 식재되고, 평균 65cm 최소 생육 토심이 부족한 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 현장설계변경은 주로 R30과 R40의 특정 규격에 한정된 검토가 이루어지고, 부족 토심에 대한 추가계획 등은 수반되지 않고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 다음으로, 추가 토심 확보방안으로 85%가 마운딩으로 조치하였으나, 만족율은 10%내외로 매우 낮아, 조치방법에 문제가 있음을 지적하였다. 또한 대형 교목의 규격과 뿌리근 특성 이외에, 식재 입지선정이 최소 생육 토심 확보에 주요한 요인임을 지적하고, 식재계획 시 개선방안을 제시하였다.

A variety of techniques have been proposed in the literature for depth improvement in depth from focus method. Unfortunately, these techniques over-smooth the depth maps over the regions of depth discontinuities. In this paper, we propose a robust technique for improving the depth map by employing a nonconvex smoothness function that preserves the depth edges. In addition, the proposed technique exploits the mutual structures between the depth map and a guidance map. This guidance map is designed by taking the mean of image intensities in the image sequence. The depth map is updated iteratively till the nonconvex objective function converges. Experiments performed on real complex image sequences revealed the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

얼굴 검출은 복잡한 배경 내에서 다양한 얼굴의 자세로 인해 여전히 어려운 문제에 직면하고 있다. 본 논문은 피부색과 깊이 정보를 기반으로 한 한명 또는 여러 명의 얼굴을 검출하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 우리는 컬러 영상에서 가우시안 혼합 모델을 이용한 피부색 검출 방법에 대해 소개한다. 그리고 Kinect V2의 깊이 센서를 이용하여 획득한 3차원의 깊이 정보는 배경으로부터 사람의 몸을 분할할 때 유용하다. 그리고 레이블링 과정에서 여러 개의 특징을 이용하여 얼굴이 아닌 영역은 성공적으로 제거된다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 다양한 조건과 복잡한 배경에서 얼굴이 효과적으로 검출되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This study was undertaken to find out the factor highly correlated to the depth of overbite among the skeletal factors of the craniofacial complex using lateral roentgenocephalograms. The subjects cconsited of fifty normal occlusions, sixty Class I malocclusions, sixty Class II division I malocclustions and sixty Class III malocclusions. The results were as follows: 1. Ans-Go-Me angle and lower genial angle showed high correlation to the depth of overbite in the total malocclusion sample. 2. The mean values of Ans-Go-Me angle and lower goinal angle for the normal sample were $49.8^{\circ}\;and\;75.6^{\circ}$, respectively. 3. Ans-Go-Me angle above $56^{\circ}$ or lower gonial angle above $84^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward an openbite. Conversely, Ans-Go-Me angle below $48^{\circ}$ or lower goinal angle below $73^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward a deepbite.

Bit-depth expansion is a process of enhancing the image quality by increasing the number of intensity levels. To solve this problem, a hybrid method is proposed, where the pixels are categorized into smooth and complex regions, and are processed using different methods. The pixels in the smooth region are reconstructed with a smooth prior, and a Bayesian estimator is used for the pixels in the complex region. The proposed method effectively removes the false contour artifacts while requiring less computation than conventional methods. In addition, the method shows good quantitative performance, and the PSNR gains over the best existing method are 1.45 dB and 0.26 dB for 4 bits and 3 bits expansion cases, respectively.

Most planting grounds have converted to the artificial ground of the upper part of underground parking lot in apartment complex recently by increasing utilization of underground parking area. This study has examined the composition of each ground and planting status. The study presents problems of planting plans in artificial ground landscaping in apartment complex. This study has conducted reference and field research. It has researched green space planning, planting characteristics and measures condition of soil depth in 3 regions surveyed. The results are listed below. First, hybrid ground has the highest percentage and natural soils has the lowest percentage in the composition of green space in apartment complex. Artificial green space is composed of a number of small-scale grounds. Second, The study has found that planting characteristics don't reflect soil properties. On the other hand, planting deep rooting big arbors has a high proportion in artificial Ground. Third, the study has figured out 98% of fit in minimum soil depth for growth. Fourth, planters and landscaping stones are constructed in case of small green space. On the other hand, mounding is constructed in case of large green space. However in case of mounding types it has low fit, so it needs to improve this problem.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the vivid and in-depth stories, of inferiority experienced in the lives of current Korean medicine doctors. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted, with two participants. Collected research data were analyzed, using the narrative inquiry method suggested by Clandinin and Connelly. Results: Common themes found in participants' narrative were summarized, by 'comparison with others' and 'various attempts to overcome inferiority feeling'. Conclusions: This study is meaningful at three levels: personal, social, and practical. Also, it provides readers with an opportunity to reflect on the way they cope with their inferiority complex, which various people experience in different contexts.
