  • Recently, there is a growing trend in the United States toward replacing latex additives in polymer-modified cement mortars with redispersible polymer powders. This movement is relatively new in the U.S. but is further advanced in Europe due to the more extensive use of cement and concrete in residential construction. Hitherto, in Korea - there is a very diminutive movement towards this growing trend. Thus, there is limited availability of data on redispersible polymer powders. This study investigates the effectiveness of redispersible polymer powder on improvement of the mechanical properties of modified mortar. It was concluded from the results of the experiments that the size of the dispersed polymer particles, variations in glass transition points (Tg), and variations in minimum film formation temperature (MFT) influenced the strength development of the modified mortars, and optimum strength in modified mortars using redispersible powders can be achieved when the Tg which accounts for the degree of powder flexibility is considered.

  • In the early twenty-first century, minimally invasive surgery is the mainstay of various kinds of surgical fields. Surgeons gave percutaneously surgical treatment of the screw directly using a fluoroscopic view in the past. The latest date, they began to operate the fractured carpal bone surgery using Computerized Tomography (CT). Carpal bones composed of wrist joint consist of eight small bones which have hexahedron and sponge shape. Because of these shape, it is difficult to grasp the shape of carpal bones using only CT image data. Although several image segmentation studies have been conducted with carpal bone CT image data, more studies about carpal bone using CT data are still required. Especially, to apply the software implemented from the studies to clinical fIeld, the outcomes should be user friendly and very accurate. To satisfy those conditions, we propose modified multi-seed region growing segmentation method which uses simple threshold and the canny edge detector for finding edge information more accurately. This method is able to use very easily and gives us high accuracy and high speed for extracting the edge information of carpal bones. Especially, using multi-seed points, multi-bone objects of the carpal bone are extracted simultaneously.

  • 경남 진주시 가좌동에 위치한 남부임업시험장내의 생육이 양호한 1년산, 2년산, 3년산의 맹종죽을 이용하여 2001년 6월부터 다음해인 2002년 5월까지 실험을 실시하여 죽령과 벌채시기(달별)에 따른 물리적ㆍ기계적 성질에 대한 실험 결과는 다음과 같다. 생장부위에 따라서는 상부위에서 밀도, MOEs, MOE/sub d/의 값이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 또한 전체 밀도와 3년생의 MOEs와 MOE/sub d/는 벌채시기가 늦어질수록 점차적으로 그 값이 증가하였다. 그러나 함수율과 1, 2년산의 맹종죽재에서는 뚜렷한 차이점을 보이지 않아 죽령과 벌채시기에 따라서는 아무런 경향을 나타내지 않았다. MOEs와 MOE/sub d/의 상관관계에 있어서 r값은 생재가 0.88, 기건재가 0.92로 나타났으며, MOE/sub d/가 MOEs의 값보다 생재가 18.5%, 기건재가 7%정도 높게 나타났다. 또한 죽령과 벌채시기에 따른 MOEs와 MOE/sub d/가 거의 동일한 경향으로 매우 잘 대응하여 맹종죽재의 탄성적 성질을 평가하는데 있어서 공진주파수를 이용한 비파괴 측정법이 일반 소재와 마찬가지로 맹종죽재의 경우에도 이용 가능하였다.

  • Recently as urban buildings become higher and deeper by reason of economic growth and concentration of population into cities, the supporting technology becomes largely advanced and many buildings have been constructed making use of new materials and structure methods. As these large buildings accomodate large population and its insides are variously used for uses, disasters in buildings have been growing day by day. One of the main reasons of the disasters are the varity of building functions. Among the disasters, the damages by fire accidents become very serious as losses of lives and property become increasing. Here, although there shoule be many other ways to minimize these disasters, 1 would review choice of interior materials of buildings and improvement of blind points and week points in construction methods for the purpose.

  • Purpose - This study's purpose is to examine the effects of the country-of-origin antecedents on overall attitudes and the impact of overall attitudes on satisfaction and loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - This study provides useful insights into international female purchasing behavior in the cosmetic industry in South Korea. This study explores the elements of country-of-origin antecedents, (cultural interest, perception of brand image, perception of fashion, perception of product quality, perception of price, and perception of advertising), on overall attitudes as well as the effect of overall attitudes on satisfaction and loyalty. Results - The results show that the effects of such antecedents are significant. Additionally, the effect of overall attitudes on satisfaction and of satisfaction on loyalty were significant. Conclusions - The findings of this study provide some important practical implications. First, with customer brand awareness growing along with products standards, considering the concepts points of parities and points of differences, the Korean cosmetic industry should try to establish brand associations with natural organic ingredients in its cosmetic items, distinguishing them from the majority of non-Korean brands.

  • Since townscape planning zones were introduced in 2000 by a revised Urban Planning Law, interest and understanding on townscape have been enhanced in Korea. Driven by this trend of the time, interest in townscape planning has been growing in the area of urban planning, and local governments have been expressing their interest in townscape management. This study is intended to provide criteria for setting goals of constructing desirable urban environments in harmony with existing condition in Chung-ju City. To this end, questionnaire surveys and awareness research were administered and following findings were obtained in relation to user-specific preferences on view targets and view points for townscape planning in Chung-ju City. In general, citizens of Chung-ju City were found to prefer townscape frequently in use practically, while residents in other areas preferred such townscape as linked with the city' s overall reputation. Both groups were found to prefer natural landscape (Gaemyeongsan, Namsan, etc.) to artificial one as a view target, and Chung-ju Terminal and the neighborhoods and downtown(Seongseo-dong) were presumably preferred as a view point.

  • 진단이나 인체 모델의 형성에 있어서 필수적인 의료 영상의 분할(Segmentation)은 정확성을 얻기 위해 대부분 수작업에 의해 수행되고 있다. 하지만 수작업은 많은 시간이 소비되며, 같은 영역을 재분할했을 때 동일한 결과를 얻기가 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 사용하기 편리하면서 수작업의 정확성을 유지할 수 있는 반자동화된 영상 분할방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 사용자로부터 분할하고자 하는 영역의 경계에 해당하는 제어점을 몇 개 입력받고 제어점들간의 최소 비용 경로를 연결하여 외곽선을 획득하는 Live-wire를 수행한다. 하지만 Live-wire는 톱날 모양의 외곽선을 형성하거나 영역의 침식을 발생시키므로, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 획득된 분할 영역의 외곽선을 재설정시킨 후 이것을 장벽으로 사용하여 SRG(Seeded Region Growing)을 수행하였다. 제안된 User-steered balloon방법은 Live-wire의 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라, SRG가 성장시 새어나가는(Leakage) 문제점도 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방법을 가지고 Visible Human의 다리 근육에 대한 분할을 수행하여 제안된 방법을 검증하였다.

  • 본 논문은 제 1 색각 이상자 (Protanopia)와 제 2 색각 이상자 (Deuteranopia)들을 대상으로 컬러 영역 분할을 이용한 CIE Lab 컬러 공간 혼동선 분리 기법을 제안한다. 영상의 hue 성분을 이용하여 유사한 컬러 정보를 가지는 인접한 픽셀들로 그룹화 하여 영역을 분할한다. 이를 위하여 Region growing 기법을 사용하는데, 여기에 사용되는 seed point는 low pass filter를 거친 hue히스토그램에서 peak점에 해당하는 픽셀들을 사용한다. 또한 색각 이상자의 혼동선 Map을 구축하기 위하여 RGB 3차원 공간에 512개의 가상의 박스를 구축하여 같은 혼동선에 존재하는 박스를 쉽게 구분할 수 있게 하였다. 이후 분할된 영역들이 같은 혼동선에 존재하는지의 여부를 검사하여 인접하는 모든 영역들이 다른 혼동선에 존재하도록 CIE Lab 색 공간에서 색변환을 수행함으로써 색각 이상자들에게 최상의 컬러 구분효과를 제공할 수 있도록 하였다.

  • Objective: To evaluate and compare a series of volume changes in the nasal cavity (NC), nasopharynx, oropharynx, and maxillary sinuses (MS) in growing Class III patients after either rapid palatal expansion (RPE) or alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) followed by facemask (FM) therapy, by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Forty growing Class III patients were retrospectively selected and divided into two matched groups: RPE/FM (14 females, 6 males; mean age, 9.66 ± 1.23 years) and Alt-RAMEC/FM groups (14 females, 6 males; mean age, 10.28 ± 1.45 years). The anteroposterior and vertical displacements of Point A, the volumes of the NC, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and MS were measured at different time points: pretreatment (T1), postexpansion (T2), and postprotraction (T3). Results: Both groups demonstrated significant maxilla advancement (by 1.3 mm) during expansion, with a statistically significant intergroup difference during protraction (RPE/FM, 1.1 mm; Alt-RAMEC/FM, 2.4 mm; p < 0.05) and throughout the treatment (RPE/FM, 2.4 mm; Alt-RAMEC/FM, 3.7 mm; p < 0.05). NC and nasopharyngeal airway volumes increased significantly in both groups after expansion, protraction, and treatment. The oropharyngeal and MS volumes increased in both groups after protraction and post-treatment. However, no volumetric differences were observed between the two groups. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in airway volume changes, including NC, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal airway, and MS, between RPE/FM and Alt-RAMEC/FM groups at different time points. Although there was significantly more forward movement after protraction in the Alt-RAMEC/FM group, the difference was deemed too small to be clinically relevant.
