본 논문은 human visual system(HVS)에 따른 주파수 민감도와 공간에서 다양한 특성들을 구현하기 위한 신호처리 방법을 개발하였다. 인간의 눈은 주파수 성분에 따라 민감도가 다르며 초점에서 멀수록 인지 가능한 해상도가 떨어진다. 주파수 민감도를 구현하기 위해서 본 논문은 영상 신호의 에너지 스펙트럼 모양이 contrast sensitivity function(CSF)의 모양이 되도록 하여 영상 신호의 에너지를 증가시켰으며 신호 방향에 적응적인 multiband energy scaling 방법을 개발하였다. 기존의 시스템에서 능률만을 향상시키는 기존의 분석 모델과 비교하면 개발한 방법은 HVS에 좀 더 적절하고 선호되게 영상 신호를 처리할 수 있다.

Several design problems of composite structures are studied via a global optimizer based on attraction regions. MSC/NASTRAN is adopted for static and eigenvalue analysis. The method of modified feasible direction in DOT is used for local optimization. Through the review of global optimization algorithms, the triangular patch algorithm is selected because the algorithm is known to be efficient, robust and powerful for general nonlinear optimization problems. For general applicability, various mechanical properties are considered as design objectives; strain energy, eigenvalue, weight, displacement, and buckling load. In all cases considered, the triangular patch algorithm results in a lot of optimum points and useful design patterns, that are not easy by local algorithms or conventional global algorithms can be determined.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is o chronic inflammatory disease of joints with proliferation of synovial epithelial tissue. Therapeutic approach of the RA consists of pharmacological and surgical interventions. Synovectomy is indicated in patients with progressive inflammatory signs and symptoms intractable to medical treatment including local intracavitary steroid injection. Recently, local injection of radionuclides which emit high energy beta rays are labeled with chemical compounds such as $^{90}Y,\;^{165}Dy-ferric$ hydroxide macroaggregate and have been introduced as an alternative therapeutic modality to surgical synovectomy. Holmium-166 is one of beta emitter and Ho-166-chitosan complex was developed for radiation synovectomy. Preclinical trial is on-going at our hospital using Ho-166-chitosan. The procedure and methods of preclinical trial are discussed.

The focus of this paper is on the elements with stable open cracks. To analyze plane problems, two triangular elements with three and six nodes are formulated using force method. Flexibility matrices of the elements are derived by combining the non-cracked flexibility and the additional one due to crack, which is computed by utilizing the local flexibility method. In order to compute the flexibility matrix of the intact element, a basic coordinate system without rigid body motions is required. In this paper, the basic system origin is located at the crack center and one of its axis coincides with the crack surfaces. This selection makes it possible to formulate elements with inclined cracks. It is obvious that the ability of the suggested elements in calculating accurate natural frequencies for cracked structures, make them applicable for vibration-based crack detection.

Astrophysical shocks accelerate particles to high velocities, which we observe as cosmic rays. The acceleration process changes the nature of the shock because the particles interact with the local magnetic field, removing energy and potentially triggering instabilities. In order to simulate this process, we need a computational method that can handle large scale structures while, at the same time, following the motion of individual particles. We achieve this by combining the grid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) method with the particle-in-cell (PIC) approach. MHD can be used to simulate the thermal gas that forms the majority of the gas near the shock, while the PIC method allows us to model the interactions between the magnetic field and those particles that deviate from thermal equilibrium. Using this code, we simulate shocks at various sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers in order to determine how the behaviour of the shock and the particles depends on local conditions.

The main objective of the present study is to analyze the heat transfer characteristics in the vacuum carburizing furnace. Local temperatures are measured at different locations in the self-fabricated furnace for various operating conditions using K-type thermocouples. In addition, the present study simulates the fluid flows and heat transfer in the vacuum carburizing furnace using a commercial package (Fluent V. 6.0), and compares the predictions of local temperatures with experimental data. The temperature and flow fields are predicted. It is found that the time taken for reaching the steady-state temperature under the vacuum pressure is shorter than that under the normal pressure condition. It means that the carburizing furnace under vacuum pressure condition is capable of saving the required energy more efficiently than the furnace under the normal pressure condition. Furthermore, the temperature variations predicted by the numerical simulations are in good agreement with experimental data.

We propose a DP-based formulation for matching line patterns by defining a robust and stable geometric representation that is based on the conceptual organizations. Usually, the endpoint proximity and collinearity of image lines, as two main conceptual organization groups, are useful cues to match the model shape in the scene. As the endpoint proximity, we detect junctions from image lines. We then search for junction groups by using geometric constraint between the junctions. A junction chain similar to the model chain is searched in the scene, based on a local comparison. A Dynamic Programming-based search algorithm reduces the time complexity for the search of the model chain in the scene. Our system can find a reasonable matching, although there exist severely distorted objects in the scene. We demonstrate the feasibility of the DP-based matching method using both synthetic and real images.

A conjugate conduction-convection analysis has been made for a plate fin which exchanges heat with its fluid environment by forced convection. The analysis is based on a one- dimensional model for the plate fin whereby the transient heat conduction equation for the fin is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the fin. The forced convection heat transfer coefficient is not specified in advance but is one the results of the numerical solutions. Numerical results of the overall heat transfer rate, the local heat transfer coefficient, the local heat flux, the fin efficiency and the fin surface temperature distribution for Pr=0.7 are presented for a wide range of operating conditions.

The objective of the present study is to identify the ventilation problems and to suggest the optimal ventilation system to save energy and to improve IAQ in the computer rooms, which annually performs the cooling operation by the server with the highly thermal load. Numerical results on the temperature and local mean age are presented along with some of the discharge velocities. Results show many interesting aspects of airflow patterns affecting the ventilation performances, according to the discharge velocity of the supply diffuser installed in the bottom surfaces between the servers. As the results, 2.5 m/s of the optimal discharge velocity is needed in order to improve the ventilation performance.

We have performed the density functional theory calculations of $UO_2$ using the spin-polarized generalized gradient approximation (SP-GGA) and the SP-GGA+U approach. The SP-GGA+U approach correctly predicts the insulating electronic structure with antiferromagnetic ordering, but the SP-GGA calculations predict metallic behavior. The cohesive properties obtained from the SP-GGA+U calculations are in good agreement with the available experimental results and previous calculations. The spin-polarized local density of states shows that the antiferromagnetic ordering of $UO_2$ is governed by 5f orbitals of uranium ion. Our calculations demonstrate that the strong correlation of U 5f electrons should be taken into account for a reliable description of $UO_2$ physics.
