We report that the novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are capable of reversibly providing an extremely high uptake capacity of carbon dioxide and hydrogen at room temperature. These COFs are designed based on the multiscale simulations approach via the combination of ab initio calculations and force-field calculations. For this goal, we explore the adsorption sites of carbon dioxide and hydrogen on COFs, their porosity, as well as carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms. We identify the binding sites and energies of $CO_2$ on COFs using ab initio calculations and obtain the carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo calculations. Moreover, the calculated adsorption isotherms are compared with the experimental values in order to build the reference model in describing the interactions between the $CO_2/H_2$ and the COFs and in predicting the $CO_2$ and $H_2$ adsorption isotherms of COFs. Finally, we design three new COFs, 2D COF-05, 3D COF-05 (ctn), and 3D COF-05 (bor), for the high capacity $CO_2/H_2$ and $H_2$ storage.

The introduction of confocal microscopy makes it possible to observe the structural change of live neuronal cell. Neuro-degenerative disease, such as Alzheimer;s and Parkinson’s diseases are especially related to the morphological change of dendrite spine. That’s the reason for the study of segmentation and extraction from confocal microscope image. The difficulty comes from uneven intensity distribution and blurred boundary. Therefore, the image processing technique which can overcome these problems and extract the structural information should be suggested. In this paper, we propose robust structural information extracting technique with confocal microscopy images of dendrite in brain neurons. First, we apply the nonlinear diffusion filtering that enhance the boundary recognition. Second, we segment region of interest using iterative threshold selection. Third, we perform skeletonization based on Fast Marching Method that extracts centerline and boundary for analysing segmented structure. The result of the proposed method has been less sensitive to noise and has not been affected by rough boundary condition. Using this method shows more accurate and objective results.

This study was investigated to evaluate the morphologic characteristics of openbite and deep bite in Class I malocclusion patients and to find skeletodental factors which contributed to vertical discrepancy in Class I malocclusion. The subjects were consisted of 40 control subjects (male 20, female 20) and 40 Class I openbite patients and 40 Class I deep bite patients. Lateral cephalograms in centric occlusion were taken, traced and digitized lot each subjects. The computerized statistical analysis were carried out with SPSS program. The results were as follows. 1. The pattern of vortical discrepancy in Class I malocclusion is mainly influenced by the skeletodental factors under palatal plane. 2. In openbite group, vortical discrepancy is prominent on anterior lower face and is closely related with skeletal factors such as mandibular form and inclination. 3. In deep bite group, dental factors such as ewe of Spee, vertical height of maxillary molar and skeletal factor such as articular angle were contributed to the vertical discrepancy. 4. The multiple regression analysis showed that overbite in Class I molar relationship was determined mainly by dental factors such as lower incisor to occlusal plane angle, curve of Spee, interincisal angle, and ODI.

This paper dealt with the histopathological findings on the natural cysticercosis in pigs. Three cases of porcine cysticercosis, which had been kept in the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Cheju. University more than ten years, were histopathologically examined in order to see the host reaction to the parasite. Capsules containing scolex were mainly found in the fascia of skeletal muscle, heart, and brains. Microscopically, cysticerci in the epicardium and the fascia of skeletal muscles were encapsulated with fibroblasts and collagen fibers. Around capsules, there was infiltration of eosinophils, lymphocytes and macrophages, although the degree and severity of inflammatory reaction varied case by case. Cerebral cortex also had the inflammatory exudate of lymphoid cells in the vicinity of the scolex. whereas perivascular lymphocytic cuffings were commonly seen around capsules. GFAP immunoreactive fibers formed a limiting membrane along the outer side of capsules. There was also proliferation of GFAP-positive astrocytes encirling infiltrating lymphocytes around vessels. In the central nervous system, astrocytes and lympoid cells play an important role in the demarcation of cysts and local immunity, respectively. In conclusion, host tissue reaction in porcine cysticercosis seemed to vary significantly according to the affected organs of pigs. It is assumed that capsules containing worms seemed to be formed at early stage of cysticercosis.

The proposed seal identification procedure consists of the smoothing, rotation, thinning, and matching techniques. The seal images which are scanned by CCTV are thresholded into the binary prctures of $256{\times}256$ pixels through A/D converter and 6502 microcomputer. After the sample and target images are ratated into an identical orientation, a thinning process is used to extract the skeletons of the character strobes. The wighted map is constructed by distance weight from which the distance weighted correlation C is computed. The C is compared with the dicision constant C or C for the purpose of seal indentification. The identification rate is 95% and the total CPU time is less than 3 minutes for each identification in the experiment.

In this paper, we introduce new thinning algorithm which is useful for handwritten Korean character by using pixel directivity. At first, the directivity detection is performed before thinning. Each pixel is classified into the straight line of the oblique line based on its directivity. The algorithm using Rutovitz corossing number is applied to the straight line. And the algorithm using Hilditch crossing number is applied to the oblique line. The proposed algorithm is compared with six convention algorithms. Comparison criteria are similarity, noisy branch, and phoneme segmentation rate. Experiments with 570 characters have been conducted. Experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to six conventional algorithm with respect to similarity and phoneme segmentation rate.

This paper deals with plain figures on the architectural drawings of apartment. This kind of architectural drawings consist of main walls represented by two parallel bold lines, symbols (door, window, $\cdots$), dimension line, extension line, and dimensions represent various numerical values and characters. This paper suggests a method for recognizing main wall which is a backbone of apartment in an architectural drawing. In this thesis, the following modules are realized : an efficient image barbarization, a removal of thin lines, a vectorization of detected lines, a region bounding for main walls, a calculation of extension lines, a finding main walls based on extension line, and a field expansion by searching other main walls which are linked with the detected main walls. Although the windows between main walls are not represented as main walls, a detection module for the windows is considered during the recognition period. So the windows are found as a part of main wall. An experimental result on 9 different architectural drawings shows 96.5% recognition of main walls and windows, which is about 5.8% higher than that of Karl Tombre.

Various types of horizontal reference planes are used for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation of treatment results. But these reference Planes lack accuracy and repro-ducibility, and are mainly for Caucasian. Unlike the adult patients who have completed growth, the horizontal reference planes for growing children may change continuously during growth. Therefore this must be considered in selecting the horizontal reference plane. The purpose of this study was to Investigate the angle formed by the Sella-Nasion(SN) plane and Frankfort-Horizontal(FH) plane and evaluate the angle formed by FH plane and other horizontal reference planes in relation to different skeletal maturity and malocclusion types. 540 subjects with no orthodontic treatment history were chosen, and hand -wrist X-rays and lateral cephalometric X-rays were taken. According to SMA(Skeletal Maturity Assessment) of hand-wrist X-rays, the subjects were classified into 3 skeletal maturity groups : SMI 1-4 for group A, SMI 5-7 for group B and SMI 8-11 for group C. A second classification was made according to cephalometric analysis of lateral cephalograms. The subjects were classified into 3 malocclusion groups : Skeletal Class I, II and III malocclusion group. 10 measurements were evaluated. The results were as follows. 1. The angle formed by the SN plane and FH plane showed no difference among skeletal maturity groups, malocclusion groups, and between .sexes. 2. The angles formed by the SN plane and FH plane were $8.27^{\circ}{\pm}2.31^{\circ}$ for males and $8.59^{\circ}{\pm}2.24^{\circ}$ for females. The average value for females and males was $8.42^{\circ}{\pm}2.28^{\circ}$. 3. The angle formed by the FH plane and palatal plane was almost constant showing no difference among skeletal maturity groups, malocclusion groups, and between sexes($1.09^{\circ}{\pm}3.21^{\circ}$).

Angiography and CT angiography are used widely for the examination of vascular diseases, but the diagnosis of such diseases is made mostly by the subjective judgment of the inspector. This paper proposes a method for detecting the suspicious regions of stenosis and aneurysm in the inner surfaces of 3D blood vessel models reconstructed from medical images. Initially, the 3D curve-skeletons of the blood vessel models and the contours at the nodes of the curve-skeletons were generated. Next, the 3D curve-skeletons were divided into a set of branches and the areas of normal contours of nodes located in each branch were calculated. The nodes whose contours contain suspicious regions were detected by taking into account the average area, maximum and minimum areas, and the area difference between the adjacent normal contours. The diagnosis of stenosis and aneurysm can be supported by properly visualizing the suspicious regions detected. The suspicious regions of the disease were identified by implementing and testing it using several data sets of human blood vessels, highlighting the usefulness of the proposed method.
