Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop an apparatus which can take a facial image by self-operated capturing technique. The user can obtain one's facial image immediately after adjusting facial tilt and focusing distance. The system has been designed for classifying Sasang typology based on facial image. Methods : The system is composed of a Webcam, one-way glass mirror and mini LCD. The Webcam takes a facial image which is displayed on the mini LCD. Then the user can see and adjust to the right position in the real time through the image mirror-reflected from the mini LCD. The optical sensor is used to estimate the proper focusing distance. To verify the performance of the system, 11 characteristic points on the facial image are used and compared with high performance DSLR camera(D700) by applying the coefficient of variance and Bland-Altman Plot. Results : The developed system and D700 show enough agreement with the small coefficient of variance to analyse constitutional types with a facial im mage. However, the result of Bland-Altman plot shows that the width parameters have distortions owing to short focusing distance. Conclusions : The system is expected to be utilized on u-healthcare services for home environment after improving the distortion in the width parameters.

This paper addresses the correlation between the flood damage cost and recovery cost. National data (15 regions) for 20 years, panel data, has been analyzed for this test. Model specification of panel data analysis depends on the characteristics of data set and "fixed" or "random" effects model can be used. The results are represented in both models. As we expected all independent variables show positive relationship with recovery cost, except for the number of death and suffers. The damage of public facilities, such as rivers and road are the major factors on the damage and recovery cost, which means that flood damage can not be decreased without decreasing damages of public facilities from floods. Especially, the recovery cost is always higher than the damage cost and investment for flood control. Unlikely, government investment for flood control is the highest and recovery cost is the always lower than da mage cost andinvestment in Japan. Which means that proper investment can reduce economic damage cost of flood and recovery cost.

Recently, a computational reconstruction method using an integral imaging technique, which is a promise three-dimensional display technique, has been actively researched. This method is that 3-D images can be digitally reconstructed at the required output planes by superposition of all of the inversely enlarged elemental images by using a hypothetical pinhole array model. However, the conventional method mostly yields reconstructed images having a low-resolution, because there are some intensity irregularities with a grid structure at the reconstructed mage plane by using square-type elemental images. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose a novel computational integral imaging reconstruction (CIIR) method using round-type mapping model. Proposed CIIR method can overcome problems of non-uniformly reconstructed images caused from the conventional method and improve the resolution of 3-D images. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, both computational experiment and optical experiment are carried out and their results are presented.

본 연구는 최근의 사회조사와 선거자료를 이용하여 한국사회의 지역주의의 특징을 살펴보고자 한다. 첫째, 최근의 선거결과에 보이는 지역주의적 투표는 지역간 사회적 거리를 잘 보여주고 있다. 둘째, 이러한 사회적 거리는 '편견과 차별'의 형태로 다양한 일상생활에서 존재하고 있다. 많은 사람들은 이러한 편견을 믿고 있으며, 편견에 의한 지역적 차별을 경험하고 있다. 특히 이러한 경험은 특정지역(호남)과 관련되어 있다. 셋째, 이러한 정치적 측면(지역주의적 투표)과 사회적 측면(지역간 편견)을 선거제도와 연결하여 살펴봄으로써, 앞으로 한국사회의 정치제도의 변화에 대한 전망을 할 수 있다. 연구의 잠재적인 가정은 선거에 있어서 지역적인 투표가 무조건 '나쁜' 것만은 아니라는 것이다. 한국 정치에서 나타나는 지도자나 이데올로기의 편향은 많은 사람들로 하여금 투표나 선거에서 출신지를 중요한 요소로 삼게 하였다. 이러한 요소는 쉽게 사라지지는 않을 것이며, 앞으로 선거제도의 변화에 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 이러한 예측은 세 가지 중요한 요소에 근거하고 있다. 첫째, 유권자들의 지역주의에 대한 믿음과 예측은 쉽게 사라지지 않을 것이다. 둘째, 정치지도자들은 지역주의를 선거와 관련한 자신의 이익을 위해서 최대한 이용할 것이다. 셋째, 지역주의에 근거한 유권자들의 성향은 최근 선거와 투표에서 더욱 강화되고 있다. 정치엘리트들이 지역적인 기반을 중심으로 결합하려는 경향이 강해지고 있다. 이러한 경향은 이들 정치엘리트 사이의 내각중심제에 대한 선호도와 지역당의 출현 가능성을 증가시킬 것이다.도 설치행위의 처분성과 관련하여 횡단보도의 설치행위와 같은 일반적인 명령을 항고소송의 대상으로 할 필요성이 존재한다면 이른바 독일에서의 일반처분이라는 개념을 무리하게 받아들여 이를 행정행위의 한 유형으로 한다거나 우리 판례와 같이 "직접적이고 구체적인 법적 효과"를 미치는 명령이라는 명확치 않은 기준에 의하여 처분성을 인정하기보다는 일반적인 명령과 개별적인 행정행위를 구분하고 명령에 대하여도 취소소송의 대상으로 삼도록 하는 보다 명확하고 일관성 있는 논의전개를 제안하였다.수 있었다.로 첨가하여 48시간 배양한 후 암항원 유전자 발현성을 측정한 결과 세포주에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 대개 0.2 uM농도에서도 유전자 발현이 유도되었으며 1, 5 uM농도에서 매우 강하게 유도되었다. ADC 처리가 페암세포주의 MHC와 B7 발현을 증가시키는가를 알아보기 위해 1 uM 농도의 ADC를 72시간 처치한 후 FACS 분석을 실시한 결과 4개의 페암세포주에서 MHC 및 B7분자의 발현은 유도되지 않았다. 또 ADC농도가 세포성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 ADC를 0.2, 1, 5 uM농도로 96시간 처치 후 세포수를 측정하여 상대성장지수를 알아본 결과 ADC 처치 농도가 증가함에 따라 세포의 성장은 매우 감소하였다. 결론: 폐암세포주에서 ADC처치는 MAGE, GAGE 및 NY-ESO-1과 같은 세포독성 T 림프구 반응을 유도할 수 있는 암항원의 발현을 증가시킬 수 있으며, ADC의 세포독성과 항원 발현 유발시간을 분석할 때 1 uM 농도에서 48시간 처치한 후 ADC가 없는 배지에서

With the development of informational machinery and tools in the modern industrial society, the image is expressed diversely as tools of informational transmission and artistic communication. This image is revival equipment and transmissional media in which sound and light are comprehensively formed. The image's intuitive and sensational expressivity can revive subjects and express a fiction, a reality, a nonfiction, and a virtual reality as a communication tool that has synchronicity and the medium of meaning. Because of this, the domain of the image will be gradually extended in the future, and the world of cognizance that can be detected across our living space will absorb the image diversely and react. In this context, the investigator examined what influence image media and equipments have in space as spatial equipments, based on the recognition of cerrelation among the image, space, and mankind, namely, the environmental meaning the mage and the space contain. Therefore, this study was conducted from the aspects of relationship establishment between image equipments that are ever expansive to a variety of domains and the space that accommodates the equipments. As study findings, the influences the image equipments have on space and their expressional features are presented in three aspects: 'the expressional medium of mutual synergy','metaphysical ultra-epithelial space constituent',' and 'object'. This study seems to be meaningful in that we can expect the spatial approach method by purposes and spatial layout of image structures, with this study, through analyzing the meaning of relationship between image equipments and space.

Six plasmids of B. thuringiensis serovar. kurstaki HD73 were detected, with approximate sizes of 7.4, 7.8, 8.1, 11.3, and 75 Kb, as well as a low copied plasmid of similar length to 75 Kb. Partially cured mutants from B. thuringiensis HD73 were obtained either by the treatment of the curing agent, ethidium bromide(0.02 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) or by spontaneous curing, Acrystalliferous mutants(Cry$^-$) were identified by microscopic observation and immunoblotting with polyclonal antibody against 133 KD deltaendotoxin of HD73. Ten Cry$^-$ mutants were found to be lack of 75 Kb plasmid. These results implicated that this plasmid was associated with delta-endotoxin production, After isolating the mutants, we streaked them on potato dextrose agar, spizizen casamino acid glucose, starch agar, and nutrient agar. Only on starch agar medium did morphologies of Cry$^-$ appear translucent and light greyish. On the other hand, the mutants of B. thuringiensis isolated from Korean soil, designated KBS722, were obtained by the treatment of novobiocin (3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$). Acrystalliferous mutants of KBS722 were less translucent than HD73 mutants' only on nutrient agar medium. Compared the plasmid profile of the mutants with delta-endotoxin production, the results seemed to indicate that the insecticidal protein gene of B. thuringiensis isolates KBS722 located on about 225 Kb plasmid DNA.

Dynamic positron emission tomography(dPET) is widely used medical imaging modality that can provide both physiological and functional neuro-image for diagnosing various brain disease. However, dPET images have low spatial-resolution and high noise level during spatio-temporal analysis (three-dimensional spatial information + one-dimensional time information), there by limiting clinical utilization. In order to overcome these issues for the spatio-temporal analysis, a novel computational technique was introduced in this paper. The computational technique based on singular value decomposition classifies multiple independent components. Signal components can be distinguished from the classified independent components. The results show that signal to noise ratio was improved up to 30% compared with the original images. We believe that the proposed computational technique in dPET can be useful tool for various clinical / research applications.
