  • In this study, when diagnosis pancreatic cancer by dual time point PET/CT, we propose SUVm 2.52 as the threshold value for performing the dual time point PET/CT exam. The hypothesis of normal distribution was adopted through data conversion of 60 pancreatic diseases. The proposed SUVm2.52 boundary value showed a significance level that could be applied to both 120 and 180 minutes of delay time scan for pancreatic cancer determination (p<0.05). C-value variation shows that delay time 2 hour test is more useful than delay time 3 hour test. When the SUVm 2.52 is set to the boundary value and the double-time point PET/CT exam is performed, the probability of distinguishing cancer from inflammation in the delayed image is 95%. When the delayed test is performed with the proposed boundary value SUVm 2.52, Compared with general PET / CT scans, it is thought that it may be helpful to distinguish pancreatic cancer.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pathologic results of hepatic parenchyma parameters such as liver parenchyma, liver surface, liver margin and liver, portal vein, spleen size, And to evaluate the usefulness of fibrosis progression and hepatic ultrasonography. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and prognostic value according to the stage of fibrosis and grade of inflammation were divided into two groups according to the morphologic variable "A" through ultrasound and "B" We evaluated the predictive value and predicted the variables to evaluate fibrosis in clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic liver disease. The sensitivity and specificity of hepatic fibrosis in hepatic morphologic variables and other size variables were highest in liver surface and edge. The morphologic parameters used in the evaluation of fibrosis were clinically relevant in distinguishing the fibrosis stage from the results of liver biopsy.

  • The primary goal of surface approximation is to reduce the degree of deviation of the simplified surface from the original surface. However it is difficult to define the metric that can measure the amount of deviation quantitatively. Many of the existing studies analogize it by using the change of the scalar quantity before and after simplification. This approach makes a lot of sense in the point that the local surfaces with small scalar are relatively less important since they make a low impact on the adjacent areas and thus can be removed from the current surface. However using scalar value alone there can exist many cases that cannot compute the degree of geometric importance of local surface. Especially the perceptual geometric features providing important clues to understand an object, in our observation, are generally constructed with small scalar value. This means that the distinguishing features can be removed in the earlier stage of the simplification process. In this paper, to resolve this problem, we present various factors and their combination as the metric for calculating the deviation error by introducing the orientation of local surfaces. Experimental results indicate that the surface orientation has an important influence on measuring deviation error and the proposed combined error metric works well retaining the relatively high curvature regions on the object's surface constructed with various and complex curvatures.

  • Materialized views in data warehouse play important roles in rapidly answering to users's requests for information Processing. More views in data warehouse, can respond to the users more rapidly because the user's requests may be processed by using only the materialized views with higher probabilities rather than accessing base relations. The limited duration, during which the materialized views are updated due to base relations's changes, limits the number of materialized views in data warehouse. In this paper, we propose efficient policy for updating the materialized views, which can save the update duration of views although MIN/MAX values frequently change in base relation. The policy updates the materialized views by distinguishing whether MIN/MAX values's changes in the base relation are insert value or delete value. Then, the number of accesses to the base relation is descreased when updating the MIN/MAX values in the materialized views.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate urinary cut-off concentrations of quetiapine and risperidone for distinction between normal and abnormal/non-takers who were being placed on probation. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was employed for determination of antipsychotic drugs in urine from mentally disordered probationers. The optimal cut-off values of antipsychotic drugs were calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of the method for the detection of antipsychotic drugs in urine were subsequently evaluated. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.927 for norquetiapine and 0.791 for 9-hydroxyrisperidone, respectively. These antipsychotic drugs are classified readily in the ROC curve analysis. The cut-off values for distinguishing regular and irregular/non-takers were 39.1 ng/mL for norquetiapine and 67.9 ng/mL for 9-hydroxyrisperidone, respectively. The results of this study suggest the cut-off values of quetiapine and risperidone were highly useful to distinguish regular takers from irregular/non-takers.

  • This study investigated the digital color profiles corresponding to different maturity stages and levels of brown croaker Miichthys miiuy specimens collected from the Southern Sea of South Korea. Maturity stages were determined using photomicrographs of ovarian developmental phases, which were compared with digital color values. Brown croaker specimens ranged from 24 to 81 cm in standard length; mature ovaries were predominantly observed in specimens that exceed 40 cm in length. Monthly ovary color values were primarily concentrated in the 1st and 4th quadrants, with both a* and b* values falling within a range of ±15 centered on the origin. Similarly, the testes color values were predominantly situated in the 4th quadrant, with a* and b* values ranging from -5 to 15 and 10 to 14, respectively. While the color values of the mature and spawning stages overlapped within a narrow range, distinguishing between them required both the color value and monthly color value distribution to be considered. Thus, this study underscores the efficacy of digital color measurements for assessing brown croaker gonad maturity, and provides more quantitative insights compared to subjective visual assessments by humans.

  • In the intelligent video surveillance, recognizing the moving objects is important issue. However, the conventional moving object recognition methods have some problems, that is, the influence of light, the distinguishing between similar colors, and so on. The recognition methods for the moving objects using depth information have been also studied, but these methods have limit of accuracy because the depth camera cannot measure the depth value accurately. In this paper, we propose a recognition method for the moving objects by using both the depth and the color information. The depth information is used for extracting areas of moving object and then the color information for correcting the extracted areas. Through tests with typical videos including moving objects, we confirmed that the proposed method could extract areas of moving objects more accurately than a method using only one of two information. The proposed method can be not only used in CCTV field, but also used in other fields of recognizing moving objects.

  • The present age demands a change in attitude based on a differentiated life value from city. It will provide to a fundamental solution for the gap of living level in the farming and fishing communities and recreate distinguishing comfortable communities. The purpose of this study was to deduct the formation characteristics of the townscape of Korean slow city according to analyze resources and structure of landscape. Planning of slow city's townscape is a process of imagification of filtrate unique meaning. The glob share synchronic unique values by slow city's network. Therefore instead of putting emphasis on promoting tourist business for short-term revenue, it will be under control to raise the standard of living and to be not forfeited and diluted the rights for sustainable slow city's status. Participation of resident needs in this process. Accordingly it need a strategy of landscape formation design and a interdepartmental practice system for a continuous slow city's image by renewal of disharmonious townscape in the built-up area.
