The source and transport of the severe Asian dust event (ADE) recently observed in the Korean peninsula were analyzed based on observations (surface weather charts and satellite data) and modeling study (WRF-CMAQ modeling systems). The ADE occurred on 20-21 March 2010 in South Korea with very high $PM_{10}$ concentrations (up to approximately $3,000{\mu}g/m^3$ in Daegu and Jeju). The dominant meteorological conditions affecting the dust outbreak and transport processes were found to be associated with the two synoptic features: (1) strong airflows (i.e., westerlies) induced by a strong pressure gradient resulting from a dense isobar pattern (west-high and east-low) between Tuva Republic and Mongolia and (2) a rapid movement of the strong westerlies merged with airflows generated near Gobi Desert and Inner Mongolia. The merged strong westerlies with a low pressure played a pivotal role in the huge amount of AD and its transport height of 5-8 km. The time and location of dust emissions calculated in the source regions were similar to those observed in the weather charts and satellite image. The ADE simulation mostly showed agreement in the patterns and the concentration levels of modeled dust (including $PM_{10}$) with those of the observations.

Image distortions are typically characterized by degradations of structures. Dictionaries learned from natural images can capture the underlying structures in images, which are important for image quality assessment (IQA). This paper presents a general-purpose no-reference image quality metric using a GRadient-Induced Dictionary (GRID). A dictionary is first constructed based on gradients of natural images using K-means clustering. Then image features are extracted using the dictionary based on Euclidean-norm coding and max-pooling. A distortion classification model and several distortion-specific quality regression models are trained using the support vector machine (SVM) by combining image features with distortion types and subjective scores, respectively. To evaluate the quality of a test image, the distortion classification model is used to determine the probabilities that the image belongs to different kinds of distortions, while the regression models are used to predict the corresponding distortion-specific quality scores. Finally, an overall quality score is computed as the probability-weighted distortion-specific quality scores. The proposed metric can evaluate image quality accurately and efficiently using a small dictionary. The performance of the proposed method is verified on public image quality databases. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed metric can generate quality scores highly consistent with human perception, and it outperforms the state-of-the-arts.

구면 SELFOC 렌즈와 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈를 사용하여 mobile phone 광학계를 설계하였다. SELFOC 소재는 radial GRIN(gradient index) 분포를 가지며, 이것은 설계에 추가적인 자유도를 제공하므로, 비구면을 구면으로 대치할 수 있다. 두개의 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈로 구성된 통상적인 2P 광학계와 결상특성을 비교 하였다. 이 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 SELFOC 소재를 사용하여 1GRIN 1P 광학계를 설계하였다. 그러나 1GRIN 1P의 성능보다 통상적인 2P 광학계의 성능이 좋았다. 1GRIN 1P 설계에서 성능은 GRIN 소재의 굴절률 구배에 의지하므로 굴절률 구배가 클수록 좋은 성능을 보인다. 그러므로 큰 굴절률 구배를 갖는 가상의 GRIN 소재를 사용하여 광학계를 설계하였다. 현재 시판되는 SELFOC 소재보다 3배 정도 굴절률 구배가 큰 GRIN 소재가 개발된다면, 1GRIN 1P 광학계의 성능이 통상적인 2P 광학계의 성능과 유사하거나 더 좋아 질 것이다.

In this paper, the buckling, and free vibration analysis of tapered functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) micro Reddy beam under longitudinal magnetic field using finite element method (FEM) is investigated. It is noted that the material properties of matrix is considered as Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA). Using Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion are derived by applying a modified strain gradient theory and the rule of mixture approach for micro-composite beam. Micro-composite beam are subjected to longitudinal magnetic field. Then, using the FEM, the critical buckling load, and natural frequency of micro-composite Reddy beam is solved. Also, the influences of various parameters including ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ (the constant coefficients to control the thickness), three material length scale parameters, aspect ratio, different boundary conditions, and various distributions of CNT such as uniform distribution (UD), unsymmetrical functionally graded distribution of CNT (USFG) and symmetrically linear distribution of CNT (SFG) on the critical buckling load and non-dimensional natural frequency are obtained. It can be seen that the non-dimensional natural frequency and critical buckling load decreases with increasing of ${\beta}$ for UD, USFG and SFG micro-composite beam and vice versa for ${\alpha}$. Also, it is shown that at the specified value of ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$, the dimensionless natural frequency and critical buckling load for SGT beam is more than for the other state. Moreover, it can be observed from the results that employing magnetic field in longitudinal direction of the micro-composite beam increases the natural frequency and critical buckling load. On the other hands, by increasing the imposed magnetic field significantly increases the stability of the system that can behave as an actuator.

일반적인 칼러 텔레비전 시스템에서는 색차신호의 대역제한으로 인하여 고채도 영상의 색경계 부분이 열화된다. 본 논문에서는 경계부분의 열화를 보정하기 위해 잡음의 영향을 적게 받는 변형된 색상가중 휘도복조 방식을 제안하였다. 제안 방식에서는 색차신호의 미분치와 대역제한된 휘도신호의 미분치의 비로써 색상 가중치를 구하였다. 색신호의 분리가 양호한 경우, 1차 저역통과 필터를 거친 색차신호와 휘도 신호는 이론적으로 거의 완전한 보정을 할 수 있다. 또한 잡음이 있는 화상인 경우 제안 방식으로 보정하는 과정에서 미분처리에 따른 임펄스성 잡음이 수반될 수 있으며 이를 제거하기 위한 잡음저감 방법도 함께 고려하였다. 잡음이 있는 화상을 사용한 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해서 고채도 칼러영상의 경계영역에서 해상도의 향상과 함께 대역확장의 효과를 확인하였다.

It has been reported that tight sportswear could have complicated influence on physiological function of human body. The purpose of this present study was to investigate the effect of wearing gradient compression tights (GCT) on muscle strength and EMG activity during repeated isokinetic muscle contractions. Four healthy male undergraduate students performed maximal voluntary isokinetic concentric muscle contractions on biomechanical test and training systems with GCT and loose pants as control (Cont) respectively. During each test, the peak torque of extensor and flexor contractions and the surface electromyography (sEMG) of the rectus femoris and medial gastrocnemius was recorded simultaneously, the peak torque was recorded as an indicator of muscle strength, and the average amplitude and mean power frequency of sEMG were calculated as indicators of EMG activity. The results showed that: the peak torque decreased gradually during continuous muscle contractions both when the Cont and GCT were worn, average sEMG and mean power frequency declined along with the repetitions of muscle contractions for both wearing conditions, and the change tendency was consistence with that of peak torque. There was no obvious difference between the peak torque recorded wearing the Cont or wearing GCT, but when GCT were worn, average sEMG was lower and mean power frequency was higher than the Cont condition. In 24 samples obtained from four subjects, 80% of results showed the same trend. So we could make a conclusion that wearing GCT had no obvious effect on the improvement of muscle strength, but it would affect the EMG activity positivly.

Z. cao는 Relation matrix를 사용한 정밀한 추론이 가능한 NFRM(New fuzzy reasoning method)을 제안하였다. 이는 추론의 규칙 수가 적음에도 불구하고 Mamdani의 퍼지추론 방식에 비하여 좋은 성능을 보였다. 그러나 대부분의 퍼지스템의 경우, MIMO 시스템에 적용시 피지추론규칙을 도출해 내기 힘들고 많은 규칙의 수가 요구되는 단점을 갖는다. 그러므로 본 연구자에 의하여 과거에 Z. Cao's의 퍼지추론 방법을 MIMO 시스템으로 확장된 MIMO 퍼지추론 방식을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 퍼지추론 방식의 relation matrix를 시행착오법에 의해 소요되는 많은 시간과 노력을 줄이고, 더욱 정밀한 추론 성능의 개선을 위하여 경사감소학습법을 사용한 학습기능을 갖는 MIMO 퍼지추론 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 모의실험은 2축 로봇의 역기구학 문제를 푸는데 적용하여 제안된 추론방식이 좋은 성능을 보였다.

The Thermal Barrier Coating(TBC) has been used to improve the heat barrier and tribological properties of the aircraft engine and the automobile engine in high temperature. Especially, the high temperature tribological propertied of the cylinder haed and the piston crown of diesel engine was emphasized. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the microstructure, tribological propeer in high tempearmal shock resistance and bonding strength of five layer functionally gradient TBC for the applications. The five layerwere composed with 100% ceramic insulating later, 75(ceramic):25 (metal) layer, 50:50 layer, 25:75 layer and 100% metal bonding layer to redude the thermal stress. the YSL and MSL poweders were the insulation ceramics powers. The NiCrAly, Inconel625 and SUS powders were the bonding and mixingg powders for plasma spray process. According to the result of high temperature wear test, the wera resistance of YSZ/NiCrAlY siytem was most out standing at 600 and $800^{\circ}C$. At $400^{\circ}C$, the wear resistance of YSZ/Inconel system was better than others. Wear volume at other temperature because of the low temperature degration of zirconia. The thermal shock mechanism of 5 later is the vertical crack gegration in insulating layer. this means that the initial cracks were generated in the top layer, and then developed into the composite layers during thermal shock test. Finally, these cracks werereached to the interface of coating and substrate and also, these vertioal cracks join with the horizontal cracks of the each layers. The bonding strength of YSZ/NiCrAlY and YSZ/Inconel 5 layer system is better than other 5layer systems. The theramal shock resistance of thermal barrier coating s with 5 layer system is better than that of 3 layers and 2 layers.

The effective and accurate assessment of the total microbial community diversity is one of the primary challenges in modem microbial ecology, especially for the detection and characterization of unculturable populations and populations with a low abundance. Accordingly, this study was undertaken to investigate the diversity of the microbial community during the biodegradation of cis- and trans-dichloroethenes in soil and wastewater enrichment cultures. Community profiling using PCR targeting the l6S rRNA gene and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) revealed an alteration in the bacterial community profiles with time. Exposure to cis- and trans-dichloroethenes led to the disappearance of certain genospecies that were initially observed in the untreated samples. A cluster analysis of the bacterial DGGE community profiles at various sampling times during the degradation process indicated that the community profile became stable after day 10 of the enrichment. DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of selected DGGE bands revealed that the genera Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Comamonas, and Arthrobacter, plus several other important uncultured bacterial phylotypes, dominated the enrichment cultures. Thus, the identified dominant phylotypes may play an important role in the degradation of cis- and trans-dichloroethenes.
