The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high heeled shoes with the total contact insert (TCI) on the frontal plane of the joints for the lower extremity during the gait. Ten healthy females voluntarily participated in this study and the height of the high heeled shoes was 7 cm. A three-dimensional motion analysis system (VICON) and force plates were used to analyze the movements of the joints for the lower extremities. The results were as follows: There were no significant differences for the angle value on the event of the gait cycle in the maximum eversion and inversion of the ankle joint, the varus and valgus of the knee joint, and the adduction and abduction of the hip joint (p>.05). But, there was a significant difference or the range of motion in the ankle joint (p<.05). The value of ankle and knee moment with a TCI was less than the value for no TCI. And there were significant differences for the moment value of the maximum inversion and eversion on the ankle joint and for the maximum varus and valgus on the knee joint (p<.05). Therefore, a TCI would be effective in stabilizing the joints of the lower extremities and increasing the balance of a body to reduce the injure from a fall during the gait.

The aim of our study is to develop new algorism for sea fog detection by using Geostational Meteorological Satellite-5(GMS-5) and suggest the techniques of its continuous detection. So as to detect daytime sea fog/stratus(00UTC, May 10, 1999), visible accumulated histogram method and surface albedo method are used. The characteristic value during daytime showed A(min) > 20％ and DA < 10％ when visble accumulated histogram method was applied. And the sea fog region which detected is of similarity in composite image and surface albedo method. In case of nighttime sea fog(18UTC, May 10, 1999), infrared accumulated histogram method and maximum brightness temperature method are used, respectively. Maximum brightness temperature method(T_max method) detected sea fog better than IR accumulated histogram method. In case of T_max method, when infrared value is larger than T_max, fog is detected, where T_max is an unique value, maximum infrared value in each pixel during one month. Then T_max is beneath 700hpa temperature of GDAPS(Global Data Assimilation and Prediction System). Sea fog region which detected by T_max method was similar to the result of National Oceanic and Atmosheric Administration/Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA/AVHRR) DCD(Dual Channel Difference). But inland visibility and relative humidity didn't always agreed well.

통상적인 고무블렌드 방법에 따라 개방식 2-롤밀을 사용하여 ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM)과 styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) 블렌드 배합물을 제조하여, 이들의 경화 특성, 기계적 성질 및 내오존성 등을 검토하였다. SBR함량이 증가할수록 가황곡선의 토크가 증가하였다. 최대 토크는 SBR 25wt% 일 때 가장 낮았으며 그 이상의 SBR 량에서는 직선적으로 증가하였다. 스코치시간 및 최적경화시간은 SBR고무 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 경도는 SBR 함량이 50wt% 일 때 최고값을 보였으며 그 전후에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 내오존시험에 있어서 소량의 EPDM 고무의 첨가에 의하여 내오존성이 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

X-ray stress constant, K, was determined for the diffraction line of (211)plane by using Cr-K$\alpha$ radiation. K was -340.87 MPa/deg. Fatigue crack propagation tests of SS41 steel were conducted under stress ratios of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5. The half-value breadth of X-ray diffraction profile was measured at and beneath the fracture surface. The half-value breadth, B, on the fracture surface was found to increase with increasing $K_max$. The value of B was influenced by stress ratio in SS41 steel. The half-value breadth took the maximum value at the borden of reversed plastic zone, while it approached to the initial (pre-fatigue) value near the boundary of monotonic plastic zone. The maximum depth of the plasticzone was evaluated on the basis of the half-value breadth distribution. The depth $\omega$$_y$ is related to $K_max$by the following equation : $\omega$$_y$ = $\alpha$($K_max$/$\sigma$$_y$$)^2$ where .sigma.$\sigma$$_y$ is the yield strength obtength obtained in tension test .alpha.is 0.136 for SS41 steel.

Digital images or videos are used in modern digital devices. The resolution of HDTV in digital broadcasting system is higher than that of previous analog systems. Also, mobile phone with 3G can provide images as well as video streaming services in realtime. In these circumstances, the visual quality of images has become an important factor. We can make image clear by transient improvement process that reduces transient in edges. In this paper, we present an transient improvement algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves edges by making smooth edge to steep edge. Before performing transient improvement algorithm, edge detection algorithm should be operated. Laplacian operator is used in edge detection, and the absolute value of it is used to calculate gain value. Then, local maximum and minimum values are computed to discriminate current pixel value to raise up or pull down. Compensating value that gain value multiplies with the difference between maximum (or minimum) value and current pixel value adds (or subtracts) to current pixel value. That is, improved signal is generated by making the narrow transient of edge. The advantage of proposed algorithm is that it doesn't produce shooting problem like overshoot or undershoot.

The current paper introduces a new approach for development of damage index to obtain the maximum damage in the reinforced concrete frames caused by as-recorded single and consecutive earthquakes. To do so, two sets of strong ground motions are selected based on maximum and approximately maximum peak ground acceleration (PGA) from "PEER" and "USGS" centers. Consecutive earthquakes in the first and second groups, not only occurred in similar directions and same stations, but also their real time gaps between successive shocks are less than 10 minutes and 10 days, respectively. In the following, a suite of six concrete moment resisting frames, including 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 stories, are designed in OpenSees software and analyzed for more than 850 times under two groups of as-recorded strong ground motion records with/without seismic sequences phenomena. The idealized multilayer artificial neural networks, with the least value of Mean Square Error (MSE) and maximum value of regression (R) between outputs and targets were then employed to generate the empirical charts and several correction equations for design utilization. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed damage index, calibration of the new approach to existing real data (the result of Park-Ang damage index 1985), were conducted. The obtained results show good precision of the developed ANNs-based model in predicting the maximum damage of regular reinforced concrete frames.

The spatial scan statistic is a widely used method to detect spatial clusters. The method imposes a large number of scanning windows with pre-defined shapes and varying sizes on the entire study region. The likelihood ratio test statistic comparing inside versus outside each window is then calculated and the window with the maximum value of test statistic becomes the most likely cluster. The results of cluster detection respond sensitively to the shape and the maximum size of scanning windows. The shape of scanning window has been extensively studied; however, there has been relatively little attention on the maximum scanning window size (MSWS) or maximum reported cluster size (MRCS). The Gini coefficient has recently been proposed by Han et al. (International Journal of Health Geographics, 15, 27, 2016) as a powerful tool to determine the optimal value of MRCS for the Poisson-based spatial scan statistic. In this paper, we apply the Gini coefficient to normal-based spatial scan statistics. Through a simulation study, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method. We illustrate the method using a real data example of female colorectal cancer incidence rates in South Korea for the year 2009.

심장CT를 스캔하여 MAR알고리즘 적용 시 자체 제작한 Pacemaker삽입팬텀의 금속인공물 감소 정도를 비교 분석해 보았다. 에너지별 CT value를 비교한 결과 BKI에서 CT value의 증감이 있었으며 WSA에서 40 KeV의 경우 663.2%로 최대감소, BHA에서 140 KeV의 경우 56.2%로 최대로 증가 하였다. 또한, 70 KeV기준으로 인공물 형태별 CT value 비교결과 WSA에서 최대 약 145% 감소하였고, BHA에서는 최대 약 46.38%증가 하였다. MAR알고리즘 적용 은 에너지 변화 또는 인공물의 종류와 무관하게 금속 인공물 발생을 감소시켜주는 효과가 있어 Pacemaker삽입 후 심장CT로 추적검사 시 MAR알고리즘을 적용한다면 보다 질 좋은 심장CT 영상을 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

We consider the problem of estimating the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution based on multiply Type-II censored samples. We propose two estimators by using the approximate maximum likelihood estimation method for Weibull and extreme value distributions. The proposed estimators are compared in the sense of the mean squared error.
