It has been known that nonlinear characteristics of sorption affect the transport behavior of water soluble pollutants in soils. However detailed experimental studies have not been performed to verify the effect of non-linearity of adsorption isotherm on transport of chemicals in porous media. In this research, the distortion of breakthrough curves of a cationic surfactant (cetylpyridinium chloride, CPC) in a engineered stainless steel column packed with glass beads were investigated. Glass beads with about 110 $\mu\textrm{m}$diameter coated with a thin n-decane film were used as the media providing the sorption surface for CPC. The CPC adsorption isotherm on the surface of n-decane from aqueous solution was a typical Langmuir type. The breakthrough curve of CPC using step Input showed a late breakthrough on the front side and early breakthrough on the back side accordance to the shape of the isotherm. The retardation factor of CPC was found to be a strong function of the input concentration, which also a manifestation of the non-linearity of the isotherm. The retardation factors for the CPC with step input agreed with those of pulse input that the maximum concentrations are controlled to be the same as the step input concentrations. This results support the validity of the unproven field practices of using hydrogeotracers with non-linear adsorption isotherms to determine the hydrogeological parameters, e.g., NAPL saturation, air-water or NAPL-water interfacial areas.

This paper used an active contour model which was based on level set algorithms and bidirectional curve evolution theory in order to track the shape of the heart acting continuously. Most active contour models would be failed in boundary extraction because of their unstable movement in the edge gap locations. In this paper, we suggest a new active contour model using only image intensity value and additional constraint needed for stable extraction. Our model was successfully run on either shape extraction or object tracking without any position constraints of initial curve. Also demonstrated stable movements and showed good results at weak or missing boundary locations.

본 논문에서는 직선과 곡선으로 구성된 단순한 도면으로부터 곡선을 검출한 다음에 곡선을 원형 아크로 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 방법에서는 먼저 선의 중심점을 찾은 다음에 연결된 중심점을 추적하여 선분을 검출한다. 그 다음에는 선분의 양 끝에서 선분의 방향을 이용하여 이웃한 선분을 검출하여 선분을 확장해 나간다. 선분을 확장한 다음에는 직선을 제거하고 곡선만 남긴 다음에 재귀적 분할 방법을 이용하여 곡선을 아크들의 집합으로 분할한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 벡터화 소프트웨어와 벡터 기반 아크 분할 방법과 비교 실험을 수행하였다 실험 결과에 의하면 본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 교차점을 가지는 곡선에 대하여 보다 정확하게 아크로 분할하였다.

A novel tracking method is proposed to find coronary artery using high-order curve model in coronary CTA(Computed Tomography Angiography). The proposed method quickly generates numerous artificial trajectories represented by high-order curves, and each trajectory has its own cost. The only high-ranked trajectories, located in the target structure, are selected depending on their costs, and then an optimal curve as the centerline will be found. After tracking, each optimal curve segment is connected, where optimal curve segments share the same point, to a single curve and it is a piecewise smooth curve. We demonstrated the high-order curve is a proper model for classification of coronary artery. The experimental results on public data set sho that the proposed method is comparable at both accuracy and running time to the state-of-the-art methods.

본 논문에서는 자유곡면 간의 교차곡선이 갖는 위상 구조를 분석하는 방법을 제시하며, 또한 이를 이용하여 교차곡선을 효율적이고 안정적으로 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 자유곡면 간의 교차곡선 계산은 현재까지 난문제로 알려져 있으며, 그러한 가장 큰 원인 중의 하나로서 교차곡선의 위상 구조를 분석하기 어렵다는 점을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력으로 주어지는 자유곡면 중의 하나가 매개변수 곡면 F(u, v) 이라는 가정 하에 음함수 곡면 g(x, y, z) = 0 과의 교차곡선, 그리고 또 다른 매개변수 곡면 G(s, t)와의 교차곡선 계산방법을 제시한다. 교차곡선은 uv-평면 상의 평면 곡선으로 고려되며, 이 평면곡선에서 u-방향에 대한 극점(critical point)을 먼저 계산한 뒤 이를 이용하여 위상구조를 분석한다. 또한, 분석된 위상구조를 기반으로 전체 교차곡선을 추적(tracing)하는 알고리즘을 제시한다.

The radiation characteristics of a phased array antenna is changed according to the beam steering angle. The monopulse tracking system calculates the prediction angle using the radiation characteristics of antenna. Therefore, the monopulse ratio curve is changed according to the beam steering angle for the monopulse tracking system using a phase array antenna, and the tracking accuracy goes down. In the case of a single-channel monopulse system, the monopulse rate curve is controlled by the configuration variables of the system. In this paper, a simplified formula was presented for adaptive control of monopulse system configuration variables on beam steering angle. The presented formula can induce a uniform monopulse ratio curve for the beam steering angle as well as the phased array antenna design parameters.

Hydraulic flood routing was performed for unsteady flow in a natural river using Preissmann scheme. A Log-Pearson Type-Ⅲ hydrograph is chosen arbitrarily as the upstream boundary condition and lateral inflow hydrographs for sensitivity analysis. For the application with an actual river system, upstream and lateral inflow hydrographs were estimated by the linear reservoir model and the Manning's equation was used as the downstream boundary condition. The unsteady flow model using the linear reservoir model as the inflow hydrographs was applied to Bochung stream basin and gives good results, and is approved to be used for the runoff prediction. As results of the sensitivity analysis, the proposed model may help to estimate the roughness coefficients when using the unsteady flow model with lateral inflow combined with the linear reservoir model.

전기 동저항 제어실험을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 점용접 과정에서 동 저항이 용접질(용접강도)을 잘 나타내 준다. 1) 동저항 곡선의 peak가 발생하는 시간이 이르면 일반적으로 늦게 나타난 것보다 용접질이 좋다. (단, expulsion이 발생하지 않을 때까지). 2) peak에서의 저항값과 용접시간 끝에서의 저항값 차이가 클수록 일반적으로 용접질이 좋다. (2) 한 동 저항곡선에 다른 동 저항곡선을 맞추려는 제어를 할 때는 다음과 같은 관계가 있다. 1) P-control로는 동저항을 추적하는 효과를 충분히 얻을 수 없고 적분제어기를 추가한 PI-control을 하면 잘 추적한다. 2) 용접질의 관점으로 볼 때 원하는 용접강도를 얻으려고 PI제어를 하면 그 용접 평균강도에 아주 근사한 강도를 얻을 수 있다.

Hydraulic and hydrological flood routing methods are commonly used to analyze temporal and spatial flood influences of flood wave through a river reach. Hydrological flood routing method has relatively more simple and reasonable performance accuracy compared to the hydraulic method. Storage constant used in Muskingum method widely applied in hydrological flood routing is very similar to the travel time. Focusing on this point, in this study, we estimate the travel time from HEC-RAS results to estimate storage constant, and develop a non-linear regression equation for the travel time using reach length, channel slope, and discharge. The estimated flow by Muskingum model with storage constant of nonlinear equation is compared with the flow calculated by applying the HEC-RAS 1-D unsteady flow simulation. In addition, this study examines the effect on the weighting factor changes and interval reach divisions; peak discharge increases with the bigger weighting factor, and RMSE decreases with the fragmented division.
