  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between nutrients and phytoplankton; and phytoplankton and organic matter. In order to examine the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton, Redfield ration was used and revealed nitrogen limitation. Nitrogen limitation was greatest with a 4.7 DIN/DIP ratio especially during the summer season. Chl.-a increase by 79% and 97% in spring and summer, respectively, compared to winter. COD was lowest with 0.84mg/l in winter and highest with 1.12mg/l in summer. The interrelationship between nutrients and Chl.-a was high. Relationship coefficient$(r^2)$ between DIN and Chl.-a, and DIP and Chl.-a were 0.93 and 0.89, respectively. This suggests Nutrients might be utilized at the increase of phytoplankton. Also, Relationship coefficient$(r^2)$ between Chl.-a and COD was 0.78. COD production rate was calculated with Regression Equation. The COD production rate was 25% in winter and 40% in summer.

  • Due to the development of digital cinema, Animations are no longer a peripheral part of movies and become major role in making films, including live action movies. This kind of change makes the distinctive line between animations and live action movies vague. In order to prevent such side-effect, this study is aimed at building solid territory again between the two by reviewing the difference and, based on it, looking for effective cinematic techniques to produce synthesized and digitalized images. First of all, consideration on mise-en-scene is crucially required to tell this line. The mise-en-scene is a director's own unique style in making films. In other words, it is a symbol expressed by him/her. With the mise-en-scene, competitive directors explore huge possibility of image expression and know how to use it audiences can understand. Therefore, I look into a set of studies on the mise-en-scene and methodological problems because it is thought that the mise-en-scene is an important element to distinguish way of expression in animations, live action movies and digital cinema. In addition, owing to these fundamental differences, both movies have their own limitation on representation even though they imitate it each other. Synthesized images produced by both representation may not overcome that limitation and even worse bring up the lack of expression and the increase on unfamiliarity, which reduce audiences' interest. But ironically speaking, digital cinema accept each representation. And it serves as hindrance to narrative's delivery not to balance each of it. Therefore, digital cinema that integrate animations and live action movies should keep an eye on the overuse of images and pursue balanced mise-en-scene.

  • Early detection of the pulmonary nodule is important for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Recently, CT has been used as a screening tool for lung nodule detection. And, it has been reported that computer aided detection(CAD) systems can improve the accuracy of the radiologist in detection nodules on CT scan. The previous study has been proposed a method using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) in Lung CAD system. But the proposed model has a limitation in accuracy due to its sparse layer structure. Therefore, we propose a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to overcome this limitation. The model proposed in this work is consist of 14 layers including 8 convolutional layers and 4 fully connected layers. The CNN model is trained and tested with 61,404 regions-of-interest (ROIs) patches of lung image including 39,760 nodules and 21,644 non-nodules extracted from the Lung Image Database Consortium(LIDC) dataset. We could obtain the classification accuracy of 91.79% with the CNN model presented in this work. To prevent overfitting, we trained the model with Augmented Dataset and regularization term in the cost function. With L1, L2 regularization at Training process, we obtained 92.39%, 92.52% of accuracy respectively. And we obtained 93.52% with data augmentation. In conclusion, we could obtain the accuracy of 93.75% with L2 Regularization and Data Augmentation.

  • Because the log information provides some critical clues for solving the problem of illegal system access, it is very important for a system administrator to gather and analyze the log data. In a Linux system, the syslog utility has been used to gather various kinds of log data. Unfortunately, there is a limitation that a system administrator should rely on the services only provided by the syslog utility. To overcome this limitation, this paper suggests a syslog agent that allows the system administrator to gather log information for file access that is not serviced by syslog utility. The basic concept of the suggested syslog agent is that after creating a FUSE, it stores the accessed information of the files under the directory on which FUSE has been mounted into the log file via syslog utility. To review its functional validity, a FUSE file system was implemented on Linux (Ubunt 14.04), and the log information of a file access was collected and confirmed.

  • Purpose - Although ensuring that all the organizational members know their roles exactly is an important part of managerial work, few studies address the role clarity in food manufacturing and distribution firms. Role clarity refers to the extent to which individuals clearly understand the tasks, duties, responsibilities, and expectations of their work roles (Hinkin & Schriesheim, 2008). The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the role clarity on organizational commitment and the mediating role of creativity in the role clarity-organizational commitment relationship. Research design, data, and methodology - Data were collected from 297 employees in food manufacturing and distribution firms of Korea by self-evaluations questionnaires. The unit of the analysis for testing is an individual. We proposed four hypotheses: (1) is about the relationship between role clarity and organizational commitment, (2) is about the relationship between role clarity and creativity, (3) is about the relationship between creativity and organizational commitment, and (4) is about the mediating role of creativity. We conducted the hierarchical regression analysis for testing the main and mediating effects. Results - The results of the study indicated that the role clarity was positively associated with organizational commitment and creativity. Results also indicated that the creativity was positively associated with organizational commitment. Especially, the impact of the role clarity on organizational commitment was mediated by creativity. Conclusions - An important contribution of this study is extending prior theory on the relationship between role clarity and organizational commitment by shedding new light on assumptions regarding the mediating effect of creativity. The results demonstrate that the role clarity has an indirect effect as well as a direct effects on organizational commitment. Our research suggests important implications for organizations that pursue to stimulate their employees' creativity, emphasizing the importance of the role clarity. This study has several potential limitations. Maybe the most serious limitation is its cross-sectional study design. Another limitation is the use of employees' self-reports to measure the variables. In the future, researchers should employ a longitudinal study design and use diverse sources of data.

  • If a hidden enemy is shooting, there is a threat against soldiers in recent conflicts. This paper aims to improve the localization of a muzzle using microphone array. Gunshot noise can provide information about the location of muzzle with two signals, the muzzle blast from the gun barrel and the projectile sound from the bullet. Two signals arrive to the microphone array with different arrival time and angle. If the arrival angles of the two signals are estimated, distance between sniper location and the microphone array can be calculated by using geometric principles. This method was established in 2003 by Pare. But this method has a limitation that it cannot calculate the distance when the arrival angles of the two signals are same. Also it has an error when the angle difference of arrival is small. In order to overcome this limitation, a new method is proposed that uses the change of characteristic of the projectile sound with respect to vertical distance from the trajectory. The proposed method estimates the distance correctly when the arrival angle of two signals are same, and when the angle difference between two signals is increased, the estimation error increases with respect to the angle. Therefore these two methods can be selected according to the angle difference between two signals to estimate the distance of the muzzle. Below the threshold of the angle difference, the proposed method can be used to estimate distance with smaller error than the existing method. This was demonstrated by shooting tests using actual sniper rifles.

  • The purpose of this study was to explore factors influencing quality of life among cancer survivors in order to identify strategies for cancer survivors to go back to normal life and carry on stable and high quality life. This study used Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2010-2014), conducted by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(KCDC). The sample of this study was 610 cancer survivors and their average time since diagnosis was about 11 years. The most powerful influencing factors for quality of life among cancer survivors were activity limitation(${\beta}$=.30, p<.001), followed by age(${\beta}$=-.20, p<.001), subjective health status(${\beta}$ =-.19, p<.001), and economic status(${\beta}$=.12, p=.004). According to the result, limitation on daily activities or social activities due to physical or mental debilitation was a strong factor that lowers quality of life among cancer survivors. Hence, there is a need for manpower and infrastructure that facilitates, supports, and manage daily activities of cancer survivors.

  • Recent advances in deep learning technology have improved image recognition performance in the field of computer vision, and serverless computing is emerging as the next generation cloud computing technology for event-based cloud application development and services. Attempts to use deep learning and serverless computing technology to increase the number of real-world image recognition services are increasing. Therefore, this paper describes how to develop an efficient deep learning based image recognition service system using serverless computing technology. The proposed system suggests a method that can serve large neural network model to users at low cost by using AWS Lambda Server based on serverless computing. We also show that we can effectively build a serverless computing system that uses a large neural network model by addressing the shortcomings of AWS Lambda Server, cold start time and capacity limitation. Through experiments, we confirmed that the proposed system, using AWS Lambda Serverless Computing technology, is efficient for servicing large neural network models by solving processing time and capacity limitations as well as cost reduction.

  • In the conventional towing tank, the ordinary towing carriage has a speed barrier which caused not only by the limitation of the length of towing tank but also the limitation of acceleration. Therefore the length of the towing tank should be decided carefully from the planning stage of the towing tank construction. Consequently the acceleration of the towing carriage should be taken less than 0.06g practically to avoid the slip of the wheel on rail. Due to the increasing demand of the high speed experiments on the development of special novel ship, the requirement of the high speed towing carriage is continuously increased recently. When the minimum measuring time of the towing experiment is prescribed as five seconds, the carriage should be accelerated with higher than 0.12 g to get the speed of 18 m/sec even in the towing tank having a length of 400m in length approximately. This means that the requirement of acceleration is bigger than twice of the ordinary practices of carriage acceleration. In such a condition the exerted total power of motor could not converted to traction force for the acceleration of the carriage without slip. To over come these difficulties a pair of horizontal traction wheels are reinforced to each of the ordinary vertical carrier wheel and appropriate suspension system has been devised for the towing tank of super high speed operation. It is believed that the design of novel suspension system adaptable for the high speed acceleration of towing carriage will play a important role as a reference for the remodeling of the towing tank for high speed experiment.
