Yoking proof is a concept proposed by A. Juels in 2004. It proves that a pair of tags are scanned simultaneously by one reader. After the first yoking proof protocol is proposed by A. Juels, replay attack vulnerabilities of yoking proof are considered and many other yoking proof schemes are proposed to improve it. However, compared with the first yoking proof scheme which emphasizes protocol efficiency due to the limited performance of tags, other yoking proof protocols need more computing power and storage of the tags. We propose two security protocols that consider both the general condition and limited performance of tags. The proposed scheme can protect the tags from replay attack and Brute-force attack as well. Moreover, many pairs of tags or several tag groups can be proved at the same time by executing the protocol only once.

This study examines 3D scanning and how it is used in the construction field. 3D scanning technology was applied to a real space and compared with drawings in the planning and construction stages. 3D scanning technology has been widely applied in the field of construction, design, construction, and safety. The results of comparing 3D scanning data with drawings are as follows. First, the external shape and dimensions do not show much difference. Second, the internal shape and dimensions are different. Third, indoor lighting layouts are different in all buildings. 3D scanning should be an essential element in the construction stage before completion and should be used for supervision tasks such as material management, improving the efficiency of construction, and safety management through continuous 3D scanning using automation and robots. Follow-up studies in the field of architecture, such as BIM and process management, will be needed.

In the past two years, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2) has been hitting more and more to people. This paper proposes a novel U-Net Convolutional Neural Network to classify and segment COVID-19 lung CT images, which contains Sub Coding Block (SCB), Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling(ASPP) and Attention Gate(AG). Three different models such as FCN, U-Net and U-Net-SCB are designed to compare the proposed model and the best optimizer and atrous rate are chosen for the proposed model. The simulation results show that the proposed U-Net-MMFE has the best Dice segmentation coefficient of 94.79% for the COVID-19 CT scan digital image dataset compared with other segmentation models when atrous rate is 12 and the optimizer is Adam.

Purpose Various methods for reducing radiation exposure have been continuously being developed. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of dose reduction, image quality and PET SUV changes by applying combination of automatic exposure dose(AEC), automated dose-optimized selection of X-ray tube voltage(CAREkV) and sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction(SAFIRE) which can be controled by user. Materials and Methods Torso, AAPM CT performance and IEC body phantom images were acquired using biograph mCT64, (Siemens, Germany) PET/CT scanner. Standard CT condition was 120 kV, 40 mAs. Radiation exposure and noise were evaluated by applying AEC, CAREkV(120 kV, 40 mAs) and SAFIRE(120 kV, 25 mAs) with torso phantom compare to standard CT condition. And torso, AAPM and IEC phantom images were acquired with combination of 3 methods in condition of 120 kV, 25 mAs to evaluate radiation exposure, noise, spatial resolution and SUV changes. Results When applying AEC, CTDIvol and DLP were decreased by 50.52% and 50.62% compare to images which is not applying AEC. mAs was increased by 61.5% to compensate image quality according to decreasing 20 kV when applying CAREkV. However, CTDIvol and DLP were decreased by 6.2% and 5.5%. When reference mAs was the lower and strength was the higher, reduction of radiation exposure rate was the bigger. Mean SD and DLP were decreased by 2.2% and 38% when applying SAFIRE even though mAs was decreased by 37.5%(from 40 mAs to 25 mAs). Combination of 3 methods test, SD decreased by 5.17% and there was no significant differences in spatial resolution. And mean SD and DLP were decreased by 6.7% and 36.9% compare to 120 kV, 40 mAs with AEC. For SUV test, there was no statistical differences(P>0.05). Conclusion Combination of 3 methods shows dose reduction effect without degrading image quality and SUV changes. To reduce radiation exposure in PET/CT study, continuous effort is needed by optimizing various dose reduction methods.

EZW proposed by Shapiro is based on a zerotree constructed in a way that a parent coefficient in a subband is related to four child coefficients in the next finer subband of similar orientation. This fixed treeing based on 1-to-4 parent-child is suitable to exploti hierachical correlations among subbands but not to exploit spatial correlations within a subband. A new treeing by Joo, et al. is suggested to simulatneously exploit those two correlatins by extending parent-child relationship in a flexible way. The flexible treeing leads to increasing the number of symbols and lowering entorpy comparing to the fixed treeing, and therefore a better compression can be resulted. In this paper, we suggest two techniques to suppress the increasing of symbols. First, a probing bit is generated to avoid redundant scan for insignivicant coefficients. Second, since all subbands do not always require the same kind of symbol-set, produced symbols are re-symbolized into binary codes according to a pre-defined procedure. Owing to those techniques, all symbols are generated as binary codes. The binary symbols can be entropy-coded by an adaptive arithmetic coding. Moerover, the binary symbol stream can give comparatively good performances without help of additional entropy coding. Our proposed coding scheme is suggested in two modes: binary coding mode and arithmetic coding mode. We evaluate the effectivenessof our modifications by comparing with the original EZW.

UV-visible absorption measurement techniques using several horizone viewing directions in addition to the traditional zenith-sky pointing have been recently developed in ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric constituents. The spatial distribution of various trace gases close to the instrument can be derived by combing several viewing directions. Multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) technique, one of the remote sensing techniques for air quality measurements, uses the scattered sunlight as a light source and measures it at various elevation angles (corresponding to the viewing directions) by sequential scanning with a stepper motor. A MAX-DOAS system developed by GIST/ADEMRC has been applied to measuring trace gases in urban air and plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant in January, May, and October 2004, respectively. MAX-DOAS spectra were analyzed to identify and quantify $SO_2,\;NO_2,\;BrO,\;and\;O_4$ (based on Slant Column Densities, SCD) in the urban air, volcanic plume, and fossil fuel power plant utilizing theirs specific structured absorption features in the UV-visible region. Vertical scan through the multiple elevation angles was performed at different directions perpendicular to the plume dispersion to retrieve cross-sectional distribution of $SO_2\;or\;NO_2$ in the plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant. Based on the estimated cross sections of the plumes the mixing ratios were estimated to 580 $SO_2$ ppbv in the volcanic Plume, and 337 $NO_2\;and\;227\;SO_2$ ppbv in the plume of the fossil fuel power plant, respectively.

This study reported the treatment of a patient with excessive worn dentition and limited maxillo-mandibular space for restoration, utilizing the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. After the thorough examination of the patient's occlusal vertical dimension (OVD), full mouth rehabilitation was planned with increase of the OVD. The patient was satisfied with the provisional restorations establishing the increased OVD. The horizontal and vertical data of the patient's jaw relation that the provisional restorations contained were transferred to the definitive metal ceramic fixed prostheses by double scanning and three-dimensional printing. After the fixed restorations were cemented to the abutments, electronic surveying and three-dimensional printing were used to fabricate metal frameworks for the patient's removable partial dentures. The mandibular definitive removable prostheses were delivered to the patient's mouth and the full mouth rehabilitation procedures were completed. The digital technologies used for this case produced fixed and removable restorations satisfactory in masticatory, phonetic and aesthetic functions to both the patient and the dental clinician.

The performance of the existing tunnel scanning system was analyzed through the post-evaluation of NETIS (New Technology Information System) and Inspection Support Technology Performance Catalog. Suggestions for improvement and development direction of the tunnel scanning system were deduced. As new technology of Japan gave priority to providing user-centered information, it was possible to objectively compare and analyze the characteristics of various tunnel scan systems through post-evaluation of NETIS and standard test methods in the Inspection Support Technology Performance Catalog. Construction New Technology of Korea was centered on suppliers of technology certification, making it impossible to objectively compare the performance of tunnel scanning systems. The performance was compared and evaluated indirectly by comparing the specifications of the camera, which is a core device of Japan's tunnel scanning system. For the future development of tunnel scanning systems, high-resolution and fast exposure performance of cameras and corresponding high-intensity lighting devices are required. For this purpose, it is necessary to make an experimental environment in which the performance of the camera and lighting can be analyzed indoors.

Among the nuclear medicine imaging methods available today, $H_2^{15}O-PET$ is most widely used by cognitive neuroscientists to examine regional brain function via the measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). The short half-life of the radioactively labeled probe, $^{15}O$, often allows repeated measures from the same subjects in many different task conditions. $H_2^{15}O-$ PET, however, has technical limitations relative to other methods of functional neuroimaging, e.g., fMRI, including relatively poor time and spatial resolutions, and, frequently, insufficient statistical power for analysis of individual subjects. However, recent technical developments, such as the 3-D acquisition method provide relatively good image quality with a smaller radioactive dosage, which in turn results in more PET scans from each individual, thus providing sufficient statistical power for the analysis of individual subject's data. Furthermore, the noise free scanner environment $H_2^{15}O$ PET, along with discrete acquisition of data for each task condition, are important advantages of PET over other functional imaging methods regarding studying state-dependent changes in brain activity. This review presents both the limitations and advantages of $^{15}O-PET$, and outlines the design of efficient PET protocols, using examples of recent PET studies both in the normal healthy population, and in the clinical population.
