This paper is to propose the palm print recognition system using wavelet transform. The palm print is frequently used as the material for the biometric recognition system such as the finger print, iris, face, etc. Since the palm print has lots of properties which include principle line, wrinkles, ridge and so forth, the ways of the implementation of the system are various. In this paper, at first, the palm print image is acquired and then some level of wavelet transform is performed. The coefficients become to be some blocks size of M by N after divided into the horizontal, vertical, diagonal components each level. The mean values, which are calculated with values of each block, are used as the feature vector. To compare between the stored template and the acquired vectors, we adopt the PNN (Probability Neural Network) method.

To prepare chemically stable asymmetric microporous membranes with a hydrophilic surface, which would be expected to have better antifouling properties, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) blend membranes were prepared by the phase inversion process. PVDF mixture solutions in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) blended with several polar potential ionic polymers such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (NIPAM) were used for the formation of the PVDF blend membranes. They were then characterized with several analytical methods such as FESEM, FTIR, contact angle measurement, pore size distribution and permeability measurement. Regardless of different polar polymers blended, they all showed a finger-like structure with more hydrophilic surface than the pristine PVDF membrane. For all the PVDF blend membrane, due to the polar potential ionic polymers used, the flux of those was improved. Especially the PVDF blend membrane with NIPAM showed the highest flux among the membranes prepared. Also antifouling property of the PVDF membrane was improved by the use of the polar polymers.

A minimally invasive procedure refers to a procedure that minimizes tissue damage due to incision. By limiting the size of the incision, it can be expected to reduce the time taken for wound healing, reduce pain, and reduce the risk of infection. Recently, studies have been attempted to dissect the structures of the neuromusculoskeletal system using ultrasound-guided minimally invasive technique. Among those, dissecting thread may be utilized in several musculoskeletal diseases, including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and selective crural fasciectomy. In this brief review, the use of dissecting thread in treating neuromusculoskeletal diseases are described.

이 연구는 최근 개발된 컴퓨터를 이용한 정신운동 기능 검사법인 Neurobehavioral Tests fur Occupational Screening(NTOS)의 타당도 평가를 위해 시도되었다. 일개 종합병원 신경과에 등록된 파킨슨병 환자 12명과 신경독성물질에 폭로된 적이 없는 근로자 21명을 대상으로 NTOS의 단순반응시간 검사, 2가지 선택반응시간 검사, 양 손의 수지타진검사를 실시하였다. 평균 단순반응시간은 근로자군은 245 msec, 환자군은 378 msec였으며, 2가지 선택반응시간은 근로자군은 444 msec, 환자군은 671 msec 로 나타나 T 검정에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 주로 쓰는 손의 수지타진검사는 68.6회를 나타내었고, 파킨슨병 환자군은 51.6회, 주로 쓰지 않는 손은 각각 60.9회, 43.1회로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 환자군과 근로자군의 연령과 학력차이를 통계적으로 보정하고 두군에서 차이가 나는지를 알아보기 위해 공분산분석을 실시한 결과, 단순반응시간, 선택반응시간, 수지타진이 유의한 결과를 보였다. 이상으로 볼 때, NTOS는 정신운동기능의 장애를 발견할 수 있는 도구라고 생각된다. 그러나 선택반응 시간 검사의 실수 횟수 같이 상대적으로 민감하지 못한 지표에 대한 고려가 필요하며, 혼란변수를 연구 설계에서 조정할 수 있는 큰 규모의 연구와 정신운동기능의 잠재적 장애를 보이는 집단에 대한 연구들이 추후에 있어야 할 것이다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate 1) somatotopic arrangement of the second and third fingers in SI area 2) difference of neural activation in the SI area produced by stimulation with different frequencies 3) correlation between the intensity of tactile perception by different stimulus intensity and the level of brain activation measurable by means of fMRI. Background: Somatosensory cortex can obtain the information of environmental stimuli about "where" (e.g., on the left palm), "what" (e.g., a book or a dog), and "how" (e.g., scrub gently or scrub roughly) to organism. However, compared to visual sense, the neural mechanism underlying the processing of specific electrotactile stimulus is still unknown. Method: 10 right-handed subjects participated in this study. Non-painful electrotactile stimuli were delivered to two different finger tips of right hand. Functional brain images were collected from 3.0T MRI using the single-shot EPI method. The scanning parameters were as follows: TR and TE were 3000, 35ms, respectively, flip angle 60, FOV $24{\times}24cm$, matrix size $64{\times}64$, slice thickness 4mm (no gap). SPM5 was used to analyze the fMRI data. Results: Significant activations produced by the stimulation were found in the SI, SII, the subcentral gyrus, the precentral gyrus, and the insula. In all participants, statistically significant activation was observed in the contralateral SI area and the bilateral SII areas by the stimulation on the fingers but ipsilaterally dominant. The SI area representing the second finger generally located in the more lateral and inferior side than that of the third finger across all the subjects. But no difference in brain area was found for the stimulation of the fingers by different frequencies. And two typical patterns were observed on the relationship between the perceived psychological intensity and the amount of voxels in the primary sensory cortex during the stimulation. Conclusion: It was possible to discriminate the representation sites in the SI by electrotactile stimulation of digit2 and digit3. But we could not find the differences of the brain areas according to different stimulation frequencies from 3 to 300Hz. Application: The results of the study can provide a deeper understanding of somatosensory cortex and offer the information for tactile display for blinds.

As documents in webs are increasing explosively due to the rapid development of electronic documents, an efficient system classifying documents automatically is required. In this study, a new document classification method, which is called Document Finger Print Method, is suggested to classify web documents automatically and efficiently. The performance of the suggested method is evaluated alone with other existing methods such as key words based method, weighted key words based method, neural networks, and decision trees. An experiment is designed with 10 documents categories and 59 randomly selected words. The result shows that the suggested algorithm has a superior classifying performance compared to other methods. The most important advantage of this method is that the suggested method works well without the size limits of the number of words in documents.

Hydride blisters were formed on the outer surface of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube by a non- uniform steady thermal diffusion process. A thermal gradient was applied to the pressure tube with a heat bath kept at a temperature of 415$^{\circ}C$ and an aluminum cold finger cooled with flowing water of 15$^{\circ}C$. Optical microscopy and tree-dimensional laser profilometry were used to characterize the hydride blisters with different hydrogen concentrations and thermal diffusion time. Hydride blisters were expected to start at a hydrogen concentration of 30 - 70 ppm and a thermal diffusion time of 4 - 6$\times$10$^{5}$ sec. The hydride blister size increases with higher hydrogen concentrations and longer thermal diffusion time . Some of the samples revealed cracks on the hydride blisters. The ratio of hydride blister depth to height was estimated as approximately 8: 1.
