This paper suggests techniques to enhance coding time which is a problem in traditional fractal compression and to improve fidelity of reconstructed images by determining fractal coefficient through adaptive selection of block approximation formula. First, to reduce coding time, we construct a linear list of domain blocks of which characteristics is given by their luminance and variance and then we control block searching time according to the first permissible threshold value. Next, when employing three-level block partition, if a range block of minimum partition level cannot find a domain block which has a satisfying approximation error, we choose new approximation coefficients using a non-linear approximation of luminance term. This boosts the fidelity. Our experiment employing the above methods shows enhancement in the coding time more than two times over traditional coding methods and shows improvement in PSNR value by about 1-3dB at the same compression rate.

도시하천에서 환경적 기능이 중요성을 더해가면서 복단면의 홍수터에 교목이 식재 되어지는 경우가 있다. 그러나 식생은 하천의 흐름저항을 크게 하고 통수능을 감소시켜 수위상승이나 국부적인 유속 증가를 유발할 수 있으므로 하천에 식생대를 조성하거나 향후 관리를 위해서는 식재로 인해 변화되는 수리학적 특성들을 이해하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천복원의 주 대상이 될 수 있는 도시하천의 홍수터에 교목의 식재 가능성을 알아보기 위해 수리실험을 실시하였다. 실험수로는 우리나라 도시하천의 대부분이 홍수터를 갖는 복단면임을 고려하여 복단면 형태로 제작하였으며, 실험은 길이 16 m, 폭 0.8 m, 높이 0.9 m이고 벽면이 아크릴로 된 직사각형 가변 경사 개수로 실험 장치를 이용하였다. 수로경사는 0.5 %, 실험 식생의 밀도는 4.4 %로 고정하고, 실험유량을 $0.03{\sim}0.04\;m^3/s$, 수심(h)과 홍수터 폭(w)의 비(h/w)를 1.2, 1.7, 2.2로 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 최대 수심변화는 유량이 $0.04\;m^3/s$이고 수심/홍수터 폭 비가 1.2일때 약 4 %로 측정되었고, 저수로에서의 유속의 증가 범위는 단면 평균유속에 비교하여 약 $50{\sim}85\;%$로 확인되었다. 이는 복단면에서의 저수로 유속은 홍수터에 식재가 되었을 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 더욱 빨라짐을 의미한다. 따라서 복단면의 홍수터에 교목을 식재할 경우에는 식재에 의한 수위상승 영향 보다는 저수로에서의 유속증가에 더 많은 관심을 가질 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

A modified adaptive switching median filter for impulse noise removal, which has the noise detection step and the noise filtering step, is proposed in this paper. In the noise detection step, we use the detection threshold which is earned by calculating the intensity differences between pixels nearby with each other in localized window, to determine whether the pixels in the image are noise or not. Then in the noise filtering step, we will only remove the corrupted pixels and remain the good pixels. By the noise detection result, we can easily get the local noise density of the image, and use it to consider the filtering mask size and the times of filtering iteration according to different localized noise corruptions. For Setting the simulation result, we compared the proposed method to conventional median filters with several test images corrupted by various impulse noise densities. We also use the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to evaluate restoration performance, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method shows better results than other median-based type filters.

Investigation on the surface charge properties of some Korean arable soils was performed by ion adsorption technique with two kinds of indifferent ion ($Na^+$ and $K^+$) at the range of pH 3 to 9 in bulk solution. The contribution of soil components(organic matter, oxides and clay mineral) on the surface charge density was determined at two soil depth with different solid particle composition When the pH of solution increased, the negative charge of soil surface was increased among the all soils, but positive charge were not appeared above pH 6. apparently. The magnitude of surface charge density measured by NaCl adsorption method showed ra nges of $0.01{\sim}2.84cmol_c{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $7.41{\sim}12.20cmol_c{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ at pH 3 and pH 9, respectively. Ion adsorption method using KCl as index ion overestimated than the method using NaCl as index ion. The content of organic matter is the strongest factor on the value of dCEC/dpH.

This paper proposes a novel method that couples fluid and deformation/fracture. Our method considers two interaction types: fluid-object interaction and fluid-fluid interaction. In fluid-fluid interaction, we simulate water and smoke separately and blend their velocities in the intersecting region depend on their densities. Our method separates projection process into two steps for each of water and smoke. This reduces the number of grid cells required for projection in order to optimize the number of iterations for convergence and improve stability of the simulation. In water projection step, smoke region regarded as the cells with Dirichlet boundary condition. The smoke projection step solves water region with Neumann boundary condition. To take care of fluid-object interaction, we make use of the fluid pressure to update velocities of the each of the mass points so that the object can deform or fracture. Although our method doesn't provide physically accurate results, the various examples show that our method generate appealing visuals with good performance.

Recently, health examination centers have been changing from auxiliary medical facilities to key and independent medical facilities. However, it is not easy to improve medical facilities, including health examination centers, due to the variable characteristics of the relationship between humans and space. Therefore, this study was done to develop a pedestrian-based discrete event simulation analysis program to examine the problems and develop methods for improvement. The program was developed to analyze five evaluation indices and the density of examinees. The problems were derived by analyzing the required time, capacity, and queue size for each examination through simulations. We reduced the examination time and moving distance, increased the capacity, and distributed the queues by adjusting the medical services and relocating the examination rooms. The results were then quantitatively verified by simulations.

To develop indicators for soil health evaluation, biological characteristics of native soils from the different parent materials were studied. Survival rate of fluorescent Pseudomonas in soils was the lowest as 0.1% while those of thermophilic Bacillus and alkaliphilic bacteria were over the 90% by the soil drying stress. There was positive relationship between soil microbial biomass and organic carbon exudated from the microbial biomass by the treatment. The average air-drying effect of soils was 39.7% with ranges of 9.7~95.0%. The propagules of mesophilic Bacillus and Gram negative bacteria were increased by the re-wetting of dried soils. Soil pH affected positively to the recovering rate of microbial number. Average recovering rate of microbes was 65.3%, and there was positive relationship between microbial biomass recovery and fluorescent Pseudomonas population.

Vertical structures of wind-driven and tidal currents in a rectangular shaped uniform-depth basin of homogeneous water have been investigated using a mode-splitted, multi-level grid-box, hydrodynamic numerical model. The model was verified using analytical solutions for various vertical eddy viscosity profiles such as: a constant eddy viscosity, a linearly decreasing or increasing variation with depth, a quadratic variation with depth and an exponential variation with depth. Particular attention has been paid on the effects of "near-surface wall layer" on vertical shear of velocity. In numerical calculations, the whole water depth was divided into 13 levels with an unequal grid spacing. the model satisfactorily reproduces the velocity profile, but in case the eddy viscosity decreases rapidly with depth as in quadratical or exponential variation with depth, the vertical gradient of velocity near the bottom became very steep, and analytical solutions and numerical results showed some discrepancy. The vertical structures of horizontal velocity vary with both the depth-averaged value of eddy viscosity and its profiles. the velocity near the sea surface and near the bottom responded sensitively to the eddy viscosity of wall layer. For wind-driven current, the strong velocity shear was generated near the sea surface as eddy viscosity near the surface became small. For tidal current, the velocity above the sea bottom layer was almost constant regardless of the profiles of vertical eddy viscosity, but velocity in the sea bottom layer showed strong shear as eddy viscosity became small.
