본 논문에서는 Cactus와 Globus 기반의 그리드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 응용프로그램 수준의 체크 포인팅을 사용한 동적 재구성(Dynamic Reconfiguration) 기법을 새로이 제안하였다. 기존의 동적 재구성은 특정 하드웨어와 운영체제에 종속적이었으나 제안한 방법은 특정 하드웨어와 운영체제의 지원 없이 동적재구성이 가능하고 응용프로그램도 동적 재구성을 고려할 필요 없이 프로그래밍이 가능하다. 제안한 동적 재구성 기법에서 초기 연산자원의 구성을 갖고 실행되는 작업은 실행 중에 동적으로 발견된 새로운 연산자원을 포함하여 계속 연산을 수행한다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 새롭게 발견된 연산자원의 프로세서 성능과 유휴 메모리를 고려하여, 해당 연산자원을 수행중인 연산에 포함할 것인가 여부를 결정한다 연산중 연산 결과의 실시간 가시화를 가능하도록 하고 운영체제에 종속적이지 않은 응용프로그램 수준의 체크 포인팅 기법을 사용하여 중간 연산결과를 저장한다. 새롭게 발견된 유휴사이트, 유휴프로세서를 포함하도록 연산자원의 구성을 재구성한 후 체크 포인팅 파일을 사용하여 작업을 계속 실행한다. 제안한 동적 재구성 기법은 K*Grid 환경에서 연산시간을 단축함을 확인하였다.

Background: Since open Wiltse approach allows limited visualization for foraminal stenosis leading to an incomplete decompression, we report the short-term clinical and radiological results of unilateral biportal endoscopic foraminal decompression using $0^{\circ}$ or $30^{\circ}$ endoscopy with better visualization. Methods: We examined 31 patients that underwent surgery for neurological symptoms due to lumbar foraminal stenosis which was refractory to 6 weeks of conservative treatment. All 31 patients underwent unilateral biportal endoscopic far-lateral decompression (UBEFLD). One portal was used for viewing purpose, and the other was for surgical instruments. Unilateral foraminotomy was performed under guidance of $0^{\circ}$ or $30^{\circ}$ endoscopy. Clinical outcomes were analyzed using the modified Macnab criteria, Oswestry disability index, and visual analogue scale. Plain radiographs obtained preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively were compared to analyze the intervertebral angle (IVA), dynamic IVA, percentage of slip, dynamic percentage of slip (gap between the percentage of slip on flexion and extension views), slip angle, disc height index (DHI), and foraminal height index (FHI). Results: The IVA significantly increased from $6.24^{\circ}{\pm}4.27^{\circ}$ to $6.96^{\circ}{\pm}3.58^{\circ}$ at 1 year postoperatively (p = 0.306). The dynamic IVA slightly decreased from $6.27^{\circ}{\pm}3.12^{\circ}$ to $6.04^{\circ}{\pm}2.41^{\circ}$, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.375). The percentage of slip was $3.41%{\pm}5.24%$ preoperatively and $6.01%{\pm}1.43%$ at 1-year follow-up (p = 0.227), showing no significant difference. The preoperative dynamic percentage of slip was $2.90%{\pm}3.37%$; at 1 year postoperatively, it was $3.13%{\pm}4.11%$ (p = 0.720), showing no significant difference. The DHI changed from $34.78%{\pm}9.54%$ preoperatively to $35.05%{\pm}8.83%$ postoperatively, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.837). In addition, the FHI slightly decreased from $55.15%{\pm}9.45%$ preoperatively to $54.56%{\pm}9.86%$ postoperatively, but the results were not statistically significant (p = 0.705). Conclusions: UBEFLD using endoscopy showed a satisfactory clinical outcome after 1-year follow-up and did not induce postoperative segmental spinal instability. It could be a feasible alternative to conventional open decompression or fusion surgery for lumbar foraminal stenosis.

This research suggests a load balancing method for a volume rendering system which supports concurrent users. When concurrent users use a volume rendering server system, the computational resources are occupied by a particular user by turns because each process consumes the computational resources as much as possible. In this case, the previous method shows acceptable throughput but the latency is increased for each user. In this research, we suggest a method to improve the latency without performance degradation. Each process makes concessions for taking the resources according to the number of users connected to the system. And we propose a load balancing method in the dynamic situation in which the number of users can vary. Using our methods, we can improve the latency time for each user.

The problem of detecting individual differences of chemically similar liquids remains to be unsolved for various areas of the natural sciences, such as medicine, biology, nutrition, and cosmetics 1. This problem is of crucial importance for the cosmetic sciences, including perfumery and aromatherapy. For example, some certain subtle differences of smell and taste between chemically similar liquids are very difficult to detect by using conventional methods of analysis, such as gas chromatography (GC) and the like (except under unique advanced techniques that are expensive, time consuming, and are not readily available). However, a trained human nose and! or mouth of a perfumer and/ or taster can detect differences of that kind. There are two conventional ways to make a fragrance.(omitted)

Chromatin has highly organized structures in the nucleus, and these higher-order structures are proposed to regulate gene activities and cellular processes. Sequencing-based techniques, such as Hi-C, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) have revealed a spatial segregation of active and inactive compartments of chromatin, as well as the non-random positioning of chromosomes in the nucleus, respectively. However, regardless of their efficiency in capturing target genomic sites, these techniques are limited to fixed cells. Since chromatin has dynamic structures, live cell imaging techniques are highlighted for their ability to detect conformational changes in chromatin at a specific time point, or to track various arrangements of chromatin through long-term imaging. Given that the imaging approaches to study live cells are dramatically advanced, we recapitulate methods that are widely used to visualize the dynamics of higher-order chromatin structures.

전자 및 디스플레이 기술의 진보에 따라 공간정보 분야는 급속히 발전되고 있으며, 다양한 공간정보 콘텐츠의 3차원 입체화가 기술이 상용화되고 있다. 공간정보기술은 여러 분야에서 의사결정에 중요한 역할을 하고 있지만, 3차원 데이터 및 결과물은 2차원 평면상에서 시각화되고 있다. 그러나 실세계 공간에 존재하는 지형지물 등 다양한 3차원 객체들을 2차원 평면에서 시각화한 결과를 기반으로 의사결정에 활용하는 것은 한계가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 3차원의 객체를 실감적이고 입체적으로 디스플레이 하기 위하여 가상의 3차원 공간 좌표계를 형성하였다. 입체 디스플레이를 위한 공간좌표계상에서 관측자의 위치, 방향, 영상의 크기 및 중복도, 축척 등을 동적으로 설정할 수 있도록 공선조건식을 적용하여 관측자의 동적인 시점을 고려하여 신속하게 입체영상을 생성하고 디스플레이 할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 생성된 3차원 대상물의 회전, 이동 및 축척변화에 대응되는 다양한 관측자 시점에서 실시간 입체영상을 생성하였으며, 또한 flying-trough 및 walking-trough를 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 입체 동영상 제작 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 3차원 대상물을 입체로 디스플레이하기 위해서는 양안시차의 원리에 의해 대상물을 좌안 및 좌측영상으로 분리하고 무안경식, 편광식, 여색방식 등의 입체시 기법을 적용하여 동시에 디스플레이하여야 한다. 본 연구는 입체 모니터상에서 실감적 입체 디스플레이 기법을 구현하여 실세계에 존재하는 3차원 대상물을 효율적이고 실감적으로 생성하므로써 지형공간 데이터의 입체 시각화를 향상시킬 수 있다. 특히 차세대 모니터인 무안경식 입체 모니터에 디스플레이 할 수 있는 지형공간 데이터의 입체 콘텐츠 제작 방법을 개발하여 무안경식 모니터의 GIS 분야에서의 활용 가능성을 연구하는데 목적이 있다.

Open reduction and anatomic reduction can create better function for the temporomandibular joint, compared with closed treatment in mandible fracture surgery. Therefore, the double miniplate fixation technique via mini-retromandibular incision was used in order to make the most stable fixation when performing subcondylar fracture surgery. Those approaches provide good visualization of the subcondyle from the posterior edge of the ramus, allow the surgeon to work perpendicularly to the fracture, and enable direct fracture management. Understanding the biomechanical load in the fixation of subcondylar fractures is also necessary in order to optimize fixation methods. Therefore, we measured the biomechanical loads of four different plate fixation techniques in the experimental model regarding mandibular subcondylar fractures. It was found that the loads measured in the two-plate fixation group with one dynamic compression plate (DCP) and one adaption plate showed the highest deformation and failure loads among the four fixation groups. The loads measured in the one DCP plate fixation group showed higher deformation and failure loads than the loads measured in the two adaption plate fixation group. Therefore, we conclude that the selection of the high profile plate (DCP) is also important in order to create a stable load in the subcondylar fracture.

Current methods for construction site modeling employ large, expensive laser range scanners that produce dense range point clouds of a scene from different perspectives. Days of skilled interpretation and of automatic segmentation may be required to convert the clouds to a finished CAD model. The dynamic nature of the construction environment requires that a real-time local area modeling system be capable of handling a rapidly changing and uncertain work environment. However, in practice, large, simple, and reasonably accurate embodying volumes are adequate feedback to an operator who, for instance, is attempting to place materials in the midst of obstacles with an occluded view. For real-time obstacle avoidance and automated equipment control functions, such volumes also facilitate computational tractability. In this research, a human operator's ability to quickly evaluate and associate objects in a scene is exploited. The operator directs a laser range finder mounted on a pan and tilt unit to collect range points on objects throughout the workspace. These groups of points form sparse range point clouds. These sparse clouds are then used to create geometric primitives for visualization and modeling purposes. Experimental results indicate that these models can be created rapidly and with sufficient accuracy for automated obstacle avoidance and equipment control functions.

With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, air pollution has become increasingly serious, and the pollution control situation is not optimistic. Climate change has become a major global challenge faced by mankind. To actively respond to climate change, China has proposed carbon peak and carbon neutral goals. However, atmospheric pollutants and meteorological factors that affect air quality are complex and changeable, and the complex relationship and correlation between them must be further clarified. This paper uses China's 2013-2018 high-resolution air pollution reanalysis open data set, as well as statistical methods of the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) to calculate and visualize the design and analysis of environmental monitoring big data, which is intuitive and it quickly demonstrated the correlation between pollutants and meteorological factors in the temporal and spatial sequence, and provided convenience for environmental management departments to use air quality routine monitoring data to enable dynamic decision-making, and promote global climate governance. The experimental results show that, apart from ozone, which is negatively correlated, the other pollutants are positively correlated; meteorological factors have a greater impact on pollutants, temperature and pollutants are negatively correlated, air pressure is positively correlated, and the correlation between humidity is insignificant. The wind speed has a significant negative correlation with the six pollutants, which has a greater impact on the diffusion of pollutants.

This qualitative study investigated different interaction patterns in an online discussion. The data was collected from asynchronous discussion occurred in a graduate course. The data analysis methods include inductive analysis and mapping strategy. The results of the study suggest three layers of interaction: response sequences, interaction amongst participants, and concept map of messages. The visualization of response sequences enabled the researcher to discover complex and dynamic interaction patterns amongst participants. The many-to-many communication feature of online discussion does not always enable direct one-on-one interaction between two participants. Rather, one message contributed to multiple threads in the stream of conversation. In terms of interaction amongst participants, the interaction amongst participants, as indicated in the data, the messages also bind each participant and consequently a group(s) of participants together. It appears that the contribution of one message may not only enable a response to one participant, but also connect many participants to each other. The concept map of messages proposes that response sequences and interaction amongst participants can also be viewed between concepts within messages in the discussion. On the surface, the messages posted by individuals are linked by the system in a linear fashion as they are posted. However, the interaction extends to collaborative conversation amongst participants. Ultimately, a conceptual network of interrelated ideas including multiple perspectives is built in asynchronous discussion.
