The study deals with the empirical research on the condition of nutrient intake of low income class which be represented by urban slum and rural area, with the analysis of the factors which might influence on the prevalent condition of nutrient- intake. The method of the research was based on the spot-survey with questionaires. The result is that the levels of nutrient-intake are below the standard requirement level of nutrients in both of urban slum and rural area. The level of nutrient intake in urban slum lies in approximately 50% of the standard requirement level and 80% of the standard requirement level in rural area. The extent of malnutrition was explained in terms of the amount of calorie, protein, calcium and iron. More than half of the population in the community are below the standard requirement level of the nutrient- intake. The problem of malnutrition was serious in urban slum than in rural areas, which made a good contrast with the result of Peru study. Deficiency in calcium was most serious. The factor analysis of the prevalent condition of malnutrition in low class suggests that 1) The function of local market in supplying food is not so effective in the sense that the quality of the foods purchased id the local market is poor. 2) Low level of knowledge, the consequent ignorance and the indifference to the nutrition and the low income led to malnutrition. The level of income and the education were significantly correlated to the nutrient-intake.

In this study, a new Unit Commitment (UC) algorithm is proposed to consider the uncertainty of a daily load profile. The proposed algorithm calculates the UC results with a lower load level than that generated by the conventional load forecast method and the greater hourly reserve allocation. In case of the worst load forecast, the deviation of the conventional UC solution can be overcome with the proposed method. The proposed method is tested with sample systems, which indicates that the new UC algorithm yields a completely feasible solution even when the worst load forecast is applied. Also, the effects of the uncertain hourly load demand are statistically analyzed, particularly by the consideration of the average over generation and the average under generation. Finally, it is shown that independent power producers participating in electricity spot-markets can establish bidding strategies by means of the statistical analysis. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed method can be used as the basic guideline for establishing bidding strategies under the deregulation power pool.

The purpose of our study was to determine the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose in ovary when using the metal speculum and plastic speculum in hysterosalpingography respectively. The examinations was performed in anthropomorphic phantom into which calibrated photoluminescence glass dosimeter were placed on symphysis pubis level surface and ovary area. We checked average fluoroscopy time and spot expose times during the hysterosalpingography. It was average fluoroscopy time 58 sec, spot expose 5 times. We divided the subjects into two different groups to used metal and plastic speculum. We measured 10 times of absorbed dose in the same condition of the anthropomorphic phantom. We compared two groups adsorbed dose on ovary with speculum material-related. The entrance surface dose on of plastic Speculum using group was average 17.23 mGy, absorbed dose on ovary was average 3.51 mGy. The entrance surface dose on ovary of metal Speculum using group was average 19.95 mGy, absorbed dose on ovary was average 4.14 mGy. Plastic speculum using group shows a decrease absorbed dose(17.9%) as compared with metal speculum using group. The method of plastic speculum using in hysterosalpingography. might provide us with lower radiation dose, especially in patients with childbearing stage.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to do numerical analysis of the wavelength dependence in low level laser therapy (LLLT) using a finite element method (FEM). Methods: Numerical analysis of heat transfer based on a Pennes' bioheat equation was performed to assess the wavelength dependence of effects of LLLT in a single layer and in multilayered tissue that consists of skin, fat and muscle. The three different wavelengths selected, 660 nm, 830 nm and 980 nm, were ones that are frequently used in clinic settings for the therapy of musculoskeletal disorders. Laser parameters were set to the power density of 35.7 W/$cm^2$, a spot diameter of 0.06 cm, and a laser exposure time of 50 seconds for all wavelengths. Results: Temperature changes in tissue based on a heat transfer equation using a finite element method were simulated and were dominantly dependent upon the absorption coefficient of each tissue layer. In the analysis of a single tissue layer, heat generation by fixed laser exposure at each wavelength had a similar pattern for increasing temperature in both skin and fat (980 nm > 660 nm > 830 nm), but in the muscle layer 660nm generated the most heat (660 nm ${\gg}$ 980 nm > 830 nm). The heat generation in multilayered tissue versus penetration depth was shown that the temperature of 660 nm wavelength was higher than those of 830 nm and 980 nm Conclusion: Numerical analysis of heat transfer versus penetration depth using a finite element method showed that the greatest amount of heat generation is seen in multilayered tissue at = 660 nm. Numerical analysis of heat transfer may help lend insight into thermal events occurring inside tissue layers during low level laser therapy.

Radial Dual Mass Flywheel(RDMF) is designed to reduce torsional vibration and noise occurring in automotive powertrain. In this paper, finite element method is used to evaluate stress level and critical area of the torsional spring box, a major part of RDNF system. In finite element analysis, both static and dynamic loadings are considered and it is found that the most critical spot is the welded zone of spring box. Also, fatigue test is performed and fractured surfaces are examined to find fatigue stress level by experiment.

In this study, a visual sensor system for weld seam tracking the I-butt weld joints in GMA welding was constructed. The sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and arc light. In order to obtain the enhanced image, quantitative relationship between laser intensity and iris opening was investigated. Throughout the repeated experiments, the shutter speed was set at 1/1000 second for minimizing the effect of spatters on the image, and therefore the image without the spatter traces could be obtained. Region of interest was defined from the entire image and gray level of the searched laser stripe was compared to that of weld line. The differences between these gray levels lead to spot the position of weld joint using central difference method. The results showed that, as long as weld line is within $\pm15^{o}$ from the longitudinal straight line, the system constructed in this study could track the weld line successfully. Since the processing time is no longer than 0.05 sec, it is expected that the developed method could be adopted to high speed welding such as laser welding.

Microcontrollers (MCUs) for endpoint smart sensor devices of internet-of-thing (IoT) are being implemented as system-on-chip (SoC) with on-chip instruction flash memory, in which user firmware is embedded. MCUs directly fetch binary code-based instructions through bit-line sense amplifier (S/A) integrated with on-chip flash memory. The S/A compares bit cell current with reference current to identify which data are programmed. The S/A in reading '0' (erased) cell data consumes a large sink current, which is greater than off-current for '1' (programmed) cell data. The main motivation of our approach is to reduce the number of accesses of erased cells by binary code level transformation. This paper proposes a built-in write/read path architecture using binary code inversion method based on hot-spot region detection of instruction code access to reduce sensing current in S/A. From the profiling result of instruction access patterns, hot-spot region of an original compiled binary code is conditionally inverted with the proposed bit-inversion techniques. The de-inversion hardware only consumes small logic current instead of analog sink current in S/A and it is integrated with the conventional S/A to restore original binary instructions. The proposed techniques are applied to the fully-custom designed MCU with ARM Cortex-M0$^{TM}$ using 0.18um Magnachip Flash-embedded CMOS process and the benefits in terms of power consumption reduction are evaluated for Dhrystone$^{TM}$ benchmark. The profiling environment of instruction code executions is implemented by extending commercial ARM KEIL$^{TM}$ MDK (MCU Development Kit) with our custom-designed access analyzer.

스테레오 영상으로부터 수치표고모델을 생성하기 위해서는 일반적으로 두 영상 간의 정합을 수행한다. 정합은 초기 정합 후보점으로부터 시작되며, 두 영상 간의 접합점(Tie-points)이 이러한 초기 후보점 역할을 하게 된다. 이 초기 정합 후보점의 개수와 영상 내에서의 분포는 정합결과에 영향을 준다. 정합결과를 바탕으로 생성되는 수치표고모델에는 에러가 포함된다. 이러한 에러를 제거하는 가장 보편적인 방법은 주변값으로 보간하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 있는 수치표고모델을 자동으로 생성하기 위해서 기존 수치표고모델을 이용하여 자동으로 추출한 접합점(Tie-points)과 영상 피라미드 그리고 정합 결과에서 발생한 이상값(Outlier)을 기존 수치표고모델로 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 IKONOS, QuickBird, SPOTS 스테레오 영상과 DTED level 2 데이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행했으며, 실험결과를 통해서 제안된 방법으로 생성한 수치표고모델에서는 에러가 모두 제거되었음을 보여준다. 또한 기존 DTED level 2를 참값으로 하여 산출된 높이값에 대한 RMSE는 15m 미만으로, 비교적 정확한 수치표고모델을 생성하였음을 보여준다.

도시화는 토지 이용과 토지 피복에 많은 변화를 가져오며 토지 이용의 변화는 도시확장과 밀접한 관계를 가지게 된다. 위성영상을 이용하여 도시화에 관한 주제도를 제작하는 것은 토지 이용의 변화에 관한 분석과 자료 제작에 있어서 중요한 방법 중의 하나이다. 과거의 위성영상은 도시정보를 얻을 수 있는 유용한 정보이며 CORONA는 1960년부터 1972년 사이에 운용된 미국의 고해상도 첩보위성영상으로 1995년 일반에 공개가 되었다. 그러나 코로나 위성영상은 파노라마 방식으로 촬영되었기 때문에 여러 가지 형태의 왜곡이 영상에 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 왜곡을 보정하여 공선조건식을 이용하는 수학적인 모델을 제안하였다. 기하보정 후 서울시 모자이크 영상을 제작하였으며 1972년 CORONA 영상과 1995년 SPOT 영상에 GLCM 기법과 육안판독을 이용하여 도시경계를 추출함으로서 서울시의 변화모습을 정량적으로 관찰할 수 있었다.
