A method for acquiring an environmental map by integrating distance data obtained by sonars of a moving robot with web interface is proposed. Sonar data contains outliers in some cases such as ultrasonic beam is projected onto a corner of an object. Therefore, the influence of the outliers should be reduced by detecting outliers. In our method, the outliers are detected by two ways: (i) a method considering geometrical .elation among the observed surface and the projected ultrasonic beau, and (ii) a method considering consistency with data obtained by other sonars. By measurement by the sonar, the distance from the sonar to the obstacle is obtained. Assuming the two dimensional space we can know that the inside of the sector, whose renter coincide with the sonar and whose radius is equal to the obtained distance, is the free area, and a part of the arc of this sector is the obstacle area. The generation of the environmental map is done by integrating the free area and the obstacle area obtained by each measurement by the sonars. Before the integration, the outliers detection is done by two ways mentioned above. Experimental results show that obtained maps obtained by our methods with outliers defection are much better than those by a method without outliers detection.

135 and 136 pine cones were sampled from age class of II to VI Korean pine trees for the study of their physical properties in 1991 and 1992, respectively. The length, width, weight, volume, and the largest projected area of cones were measured, and the specific gravity, apparent volume ratio sphericity, and roundness were calculated. Regression analysis were performed for the weight, volume, and projected area to the cone length and width. The length, and major and minor diameters of the cone stalks were measured and analyzed. 1. The range of the length of cone stalks was 0 to 47.3mm. The average length of stalks were 9mm ('91) and 10mm('92), respectively. Cross section of the stalks was ellipse with average major and minor diameters of 9.1mm and 10.1mm, and 8.6 and 8.7mm in 91 and 92, respectively. 2. The length of pine cones distributed from 8cm to 17cm and the average length were about 13cm('91, '92). The width varied from 5cm to 9.5cm and the average width were 6.7cm('91) and 6.9cm('92). The ratios of the length to the width were 0.56('91) and 0.65('91) and the shape of the cones were found to be ellipse with minor diameter of 1/2 to 2/3 of the major diameter. 3. The roundnesses and sphericity of cones were 0.74 and 0.75('91), 0.63 and 0.67('92), respectively. The average of the largest projected area of cones were $85.3cm^2$('91) and $93.1cm^2$('92) and the criterion areas were $71.0cm^2$ and $74.5cm^2$, respectively. 4. Cone weights were from 83g to 467g('91 and '92) and averages were 186g('91) and 220g('92). The average specific gravities were 0.89 and 0.96('91 and '92). The true volumes were $212cm^2$('91) and $230cm^2$('92), and the average bulk volume was $321cm^2$('91, '92). The average apparent volume ratios of cones were 35% ('91) and 28% ('92), respectively. 5. The weight and the volume were proportional to the length of the cone multiplied by the width squred and the largest projected area was proportional to the length multiplied by the width of cones.

We developed a compact micro indentation testing device (designated SNUT) which is capable to measure Young's modulus of a sample using depth and applied load data during indentation. Performance of this device was evaluated using pure Ti, pure Ni, and die steel (SKD11). As a result of analysing the indentation test data, the frame compliance $C_f$ was found to influence mainly the modulus by 80% among several factors affecting accuracy of Young's modulus. Project area, which was determined by indirect indentation method, was modified using direct SEM observation. Finally, Young's modulus error was reduced to 5% after taking into consideration the frame compliance and modified projected area from 80% error without any these two correction factors. The performance of SNUT and MTS instruments was compared using same specimen (pure Ti).

Image projectors can turn any surface into a display. Integrating a surface projection with a user interface transforms it into an interactive display with many possible applications. Hand gesture interfaces are often used with projector-camera systems. Hand detection through color image processing is affected by the surrounding environment. The lack of illumination and color details greatly influences the detection process and drops the recognition success rate. In addition, there can be interference from the projection system itself due to image projection. In order to overcome these problems, a gesture interface based on depth images is proposed for projected surfaces. In this paper, a depth camera is used for hand recognition and for effectively extracting the area of the hand from the scene. A hand detection and finger tracking method based on depth images is proposed. Based on the proposed method, a touch interface for the projected surface is implemented and evaluated.

미래 기후조건에서 농업부문 가뭄양상을 전망하기 위해 우리나라 농업의 중심지인 전주지역을 대상으로 1951-2100 기간의 기후변화시나리오(RCP8.5) 일자료를 이용하여 토양의 물수지에 근거한 농업가뭄지수를 계산하였다. 계산결과는 과거(1951-1980), 현재(1981-2010), 그리고 3개의 미래 기후학적 평년기간(2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100)으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 과거부터 현재까지 계절적으로 가장 부족한 이른봄의 토양수분은 점차 개선되어 금세기말이면 수분부족현상이 해소될 것으로 전망되며, 봄철 가뭄발생빈도 역시 지금보다 줄어들어 이른봄에는 가뭄이 거의 나타나지 않을 것이다. 반면 여름작물 생육기간에는 토양수분상태가 악화되며 가뭄발생빈도가 대체로 증가할 것으로 전망되었다.

In this study, effects of IHPs with various resting times to cell adhesion were investigated through the measurements of cell adhesive force, number and area of focal contacts (stained vinculin spots), and projected cell area, perimeter and circularity. In addition correlation tests and curve estimations using the experimental results were performed fur the finding an essential factor for increment of cell adhesive force. Tn the results, immediately after mechanical stimuli (150 minutes after seeding) and one hour later (210 minutes after seeding), the average adhesive force of experimental group 5 (resting time: 15min) compared with that of control group at same culture time was increased significantly (p<0.05). Average projected area and perimeter of cells at Group 5 were increased significantly (p<0.05), while average circularity of cells at Group 5 incubated fur 210 minutes was decreased significantly (p<0.05). In the digital image analysis of focal contacts containing vinculins, area and numbers of focal contacts per cell at Group 5 were higher than those of the other groups. This study indicated that IHP with appropriate resting time could contribute in improving cell adhesive force, cell spreading, development of cytoskeleton and formation of focal contacts. And cell adhesive force was correlated to the morphological aspects of cell and development of focal contacts. Particularly, area of focal contacts was closely related to cell adhesive force.

Corticostriatal connections of auditory areas within the rostral and caudal portions of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and in the supratemporal plane(STP) of pigtail macaque (Macacca nemestrina) were studied with particular emphasis on specific projections to the ventral striatum. Retrograde tracers were Injected into five different regions of the ventral striatum such as the ventromedial caudate nucleus, ventral shell, central shell, dorsal core of the nucleus accumbens (NA), and ventrolateral putamen to Identify the cells of origin. There were only few projections from the auditory areas in the STP to the ventral striatum. However, the association (or belt) areas of the STG collectively had widespread corticostriatal projections characterized by differential topographic distributions. The rostral parts of the STG strongly projected to the ventromedial caudate nucleus. The midportion of the STG also projected to the same ventral striatal regions, but the connections were relatively less extensive. Interestingly, the caudal portion of the STG had no connection to all subregions of the ventral striatum. These differential patterns of corticostriatal connectivity suggest that the ventromedial caudate nucleus would be a major auditory convergence area and mainly involved in sound recognition rather than spatial localization of sound sources.

This study measured technology transfer efficiency for public institutes. The study made use of DEA being one of the non-parametric linear programming to evaluate technology transfer efficiency for public institutes and to measure technology efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. The measurement of the technology transfer efficiency for public institutes was as follows: The cause of the technology transfer inefficiency was affected by pure technical inefficiency more than by scale inefficiency. Public institutes' RTS(Return To Scale) value varied depending upon the features of the organizations than the features of the regions. Public research institutes' RTS value is more effective than universities' RTS value. We compared the RTS group with the RTS of Projected DMU groups. The RTS group had constant returns to scale effect while the RTS of the Projected DMU had increasing returns to scale effect. The technology transfer efficiency of public institutes varied depending upon the features of the organizations and regions : The technology transfer efficiency of public institutes were as follows : public research institutes at the metropolitan area, public research institutes at the local areas, universities at the metropolitan area and universities at the local areas. In other words, the technology transfer efficiency was affected by organizational characteristics more than by regional characteristics at the place where public institutes were located.
