Background and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare effects of tone-burst (TB) and narrow-band (NB) Claus Elberling (CE)-chirp stimuli on amplitude, latency and interaural asymmetry ratio (IAR) of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) in healthy individuals. Subjects and Methods: The study included 50 healthy volunteers. cVEMP procedure was carried out using 500 Hz TB and NB-CE-chirp stimulus (360-720 Hz, up-chirp) in random order. cVEMP were recorded at 100 dB nHL. For each ear and each stimulus, P1 latency, N1 latency and P1N1 amplitude were measured. IAR was also calculated. Results: Mean age was 26.66±9.48 years. cVEMP's in response to both TB and NB CE-chirp stimuli were obtained in all subjects. No statistically significant difference in P1 latency, N1 latency, and P1N1 amplitude was found between the right and left ears for both TB and NB CE-chirp stimuli (p>0.05). In both sides, P1 and N1 latencies were significantly shorter in NB CE-chirp stimulation compared to TB stimulation (p=0.000). In both sides, no statistically significant difference was found in P1N1 amplitude between two types of stimuli (p>0.05). Conclusions: The chirp stimulus produces robust but earlier cVEMP than TB does. This largest series study on NB chirp cVEMP shows that NB chirp is a good and new reliable alternative.

26명의 환자에게 8~12주동안 산삼복합약침과 한약을 병행한 식이요법을 시행하여 체성분 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 체성분 검사 결과 체중, BMI, 골격근량, 체지방량, 복부지방률, 내장지방단면적, 체지방률이 유의하게 감소하였고, 체중이 감소하면서 골격근량이 감소하긴 하였으나 체지방량 위주의 감소로 골격근의 비율은 오히려 유의하게 증가하였다. 태음조위탕을 증례에 맞게 가감하고, 하루 한 시간 혹은 만 보 걷기의 운동지도를 통해 하루 400~800 kal의 초저열량 식이로 인해 야기될 수 있는 부작용 중 일시적인 현기증과 무기력감 외에 탈모, 부종, 설사, 월경 이상 등은 관찰되지 않았다. 향후 체성분 변화뿐만 아니라 생화학적 검사나 골밀도 검사를 통한 장기적인 탐색이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) 알고리즘은 동영상의 프레임율을 향상시키는 영상 보간 기술이다. 이는 고화질 디지털 비디오 시스템에서 저프레임율 동영상으로 인한 화면 떨림이나 흐릿한 움직임 등의 문제를 해소하고 시청자에게 보다 자유롭고 매끄러운 시각 경험을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반의 FRUC 알고리즘을 이용하여 동영상을 압축하는 기술을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 원시 동영상에서 일부 영상을 제외한 후 압축 및 전송하고, 복호화 과정에서 딥러닝 기반의 보간 방법을 이용하여 제외된 영상을 복원함으로써 고효율로 압축한다. 실험에서는 동영상을 1, 3장 단위로 건너뛰며 부호화한 후 복호된 영상과 FRUC 알고리즘에 의해 복원한 영상으로 압축 성능을 평가했다. 1장 및 3장씩 제외했을 때 실험결과는 평균 81.22%, 27.80% BD-rate 감소를 보였다. 3 장씩 제외하는 것이 1장의 제외에 비해 부호화 효율이 낮은 이유는 FRUC 방법으로 복원한 영상의 PSNR이 낮기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 납면진받침(LRB)이 설치된 중경간 엑스트라도즈드교에서 교각의 파손, 상부구조의 이동변위, 그리고 케이블의 항복에 대한 지진위험도를 평가하였다. 지진위험도는 다수의 지진자료를 이용하여 지진에 대한 구조적 취약성을 평가한 지진취약도와 지진재해지도를 이용하여 해당지역에서의 지진재해도를 산정하여, 이들을 조합함으로써 평가할 수 있었다. 지진시 교각에서 소성힌지의 발생을 고려하기 위해 SAP2000을 사용하여 비선형 지진해석을 수행하였다. 지진자료는 암반노두에서 설계응답스펙트럼을 만족하는 인공지진을 작성한 후, SHAKE91을 사용하여 해당지역의 지반증폭효과를 고려하여 지진 가속도 시간이력을 구하여 사용하였다. 교각의 비선형 응답은 연성도를 사용하여 나타내었고, 2선형 직선의 모멘트-곡률 곡선으로 작성하였다. 본 연구에서는 대수정규분포함수로 지진취약도를 표현하였으며, 한반도를 대상으로 작성된 지진재해지도를 이용하여 지진재해도를 산정하였다. 해석결과 엑스트라도즈드교에서는 케이블과 거더보다는 교각하단에서 면진장치가 더 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper is aimed at developing an optimization-based Finite Element model updating approach for structural damage identification and quantification. A modal flexibility-based error function is introduced, which uses modal assurance criterion to formulate the updating problem as an optimization problem. Because of the inexplicit input/output relationship between the candidate solutions and the error function's output, a robust and efficient optimization algorithm should be employed to evaluate the solution domain and find the global extremum with high speed and accuracy. This paper proposes a new multi-stage Selective Particle Swarm Optimization (SPSO) algorithm to solve the optimization problem. The proposed multi-stage strategy not only fixes the premature convergence of the original Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, but also increases the speed of the search stage and reduces the corresponding computational costs, without changing or adding extra terms to the algorithm's formulation. Solving the introduced objective function with the proposed multi-stage SPSO leads to a smart feedback-wise and self-adjusting damage detection method, which can effectively assess the health of the structural systems. The performance and precision of the proposed method are verified and benchmarked against the original PSO and some of its most popular variants, including SPSO, DPSO, APSO, and MSPSO. For this purpose, two numerical examples of complex civil engineering structures under different damage patterns are studied. Comparative studies are also carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in the presence of measurement errors. Moreover, the robustness and accuracy of the method are validated by assessing the health of a six-story shear-type building structure tested on a shake table. The obtained results introduced the proposed method as an effective and robust damage detection method even if the first few vibration modes are utilized to form the objective function.

Under the influence of atmospheric turbulence, a star's point image will shake back and forth erratically, and after exposure the originally small star point will spread into a huge spot, which will affect the ground calibration of the star sensor. To analyze the impact of atmospheric turbulence on the positioning accuracy of the star's center of mass, this paper simulates the atmospheric turbulence phase screen using a method based on a sparse spectrum. It is added to the static-star-simulation device to study the transmission characteristics of atmospheric turbulence in star-point simulation, and to analyze the changes in star points under different atmospheric refractive-index structural constants. The simulation results show that the structure function of the atmospheric turbulence phase screen simulated by the sparse spectral method has an average error of 6.8% compared to the theoretical value, while the classical Fourier-transform method can have an error of up to 23% at low frequencies. By including a simulation in which the phase screen would cause errors in the center-of-mass position of the star point, 100 consecutive images are selected and the average drift variance is obtained for each turbulence scenario; The stronger the turbulence, the larger the drift variance. This study can provide a basis for subsequent improvement of the ground-calibration accuracy of a star sensitizer, and for analyzing and evaluating the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the beam.

As technology advanced dramatically in the late 20th century, a new era of science arrived. The emerging era of scientific discovery, variously described as e-Science, cyberscience, and the fourth paradigm, uses technologies required for computation, data curation, analysis, and visualization. The emergence of the fourth research paradigm will have such a huge impact that it will shake the foundations of science, and will also have a huge impact on the role of data-information infrastructure. In the digital age, the roles of data-information professionals are becoming more diverse. As eScience emerges as a sustainable and growing part of research, data-information professionals and centeres are exploring new roles to address the issues that arise from new forms of research. The functions that data-information professionals and centeres can fundamentally provide in the e-Science area are data curation, preservation, access, and metadata. Basically, it involves discovering and using available technical infrastructure and tools, finding relevant data, establishing a data management plan, and developing tools to support research. A further advanced service is archiving and curating relevant data for long-term preservation and integration of datasets and providing curating and data management services as part of a data management plan. Adaptation and change to the new information environment of the 21st century require strong and future-responsive leadership. There is a strong need to effectively respond to future challenges by exploring the role and function of data-information professionals in the future environment. Understanding what types of data-information professionals and skills will be needed in the future is essential to developing the talent that will lead the transformation. The new values and roles of data-information professionals and centers for 21st century researchers in STEAM are discussed.

본 논문에서는 1인칭 3D 게임을 개발하여 액션 카메라의 특징을 활용한 현실적인 카메라 연출을 통해 플레이어에게 극한의 공포를 제공하는 데 중점을 두고 있다. 새로운 카메라 연출 기법으로 광각 렌즈를 사용한 시점 왜곡과 이동 시 카메라 흔들림을 도입하여 기존 게임보다 더 높은 몰입도를 제공하고자 한다. 게임의 주제느 공포 방 탈출이며, 플레이어는 총기를 소지하고 시작한다. 그러나 총기 사용으로 인한 게임의 난도가 낮다는 우려를 극복하기 위해 몬스터 추격과 탄창 수 감소 등의 부담감을 부여하여 플레이어에게 총기 사용을 조절하도록 하였다. 본 논문은 사실적인 연출을 통해 플레이어들의 공포 효과를 극대화 한 새로운 방식의 3D게임을 개발하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다.
