The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual state of beverage consumption, oral health concern, and oral health behavior among high school students in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. The results of the study showed that the subjects with the highest academic achievement score of 3.46(${\pm}0.43$) were 3.23(${\pm}0.59$), which was statistically significant(F=3.601, p<0.05). Oral health behaviors were 3.16 points(${\pm}0.40$) when the academic performance was 'low', which was significantly different from those of 'high' and 'middle' students(F=4.329, p<0.05). Further research is needed to clarify various related factors related to future drink ingestion and oral health behavior, and it is thought that it is necessary to continue to promote the relationship between beverage and oral health through the results of this study.

In this paper, we propose an effective method to detect the regions of interests in the Videostrobokymography System. Videostrobokymography system is a medical image processing system for extracting automatically the diagnosis parameters from the irregular vibratory movements of the vocal fold. We detect the regions of interests through three steps. In the first step, we remove the noise in the input image and we find the minimum energy value in each frame. In the second step, we computed the edge by everage value for the one line. In the third step, the regions of interests can be extracted by using the Merge Algorithm which uses the variance of luminance as the feature points. We experimented this method for the vocal fold images of nineteen patients. In consequence, the regions of interests are detected in most vocal fold images. The method proposed in this study is efficient enough to extract the region of interests in the vocal fold images with the frame rate of 40 frames/second and the resolution of 200${\times}$280 pixels.

This study was conducted with 200 outpatients and inpatients of military hospitals around the northern region of Gyeonggi-Do. 182 questionnaires in 200 copies were returned, which meant that the return rate was 91%. 180 questionnaires were used for analysis because 2 questionnaires included untrustful responses. The questionnaires were filled by the subjects for 20 days from Dec. 1, 2008 to Dec. 20, 2008. First, in accordance with the examination on the awareness and knowledge on the dental caries, periodontal disease and oral health care, the awareness on the prevention of dental caries was 18.733 points in 25 full points. Second, for the examination on the oral health status according to the interest and education related to oral health care, the interest and oral health status showed the statistically significant relationship(P=0.0083). Third, in accordance with the analysis on the relationship between oral health status and awareness and knowledge on oral health care, for the awareness on the prevention of dental caries, the answer "Not healthy" was 19.188 points, the answer "Average" 18.210 points and the answer "Healthy" 18.971 points. In conclusion, the higher the interest on the education and oral health care was, the better the behavior for oral health care and oral health status were. As a result, the oral health care is essential for each individual to keep good health status. For keeping and deploying the best fighting power in the military and the country, the oral health program shall be pushed ahead as the key project to keep the good oral status of soldiers.

This paper proposes a Haar Wavelet Feature Detector (HWFD) based on the Haar wavelet transform and average box filter. By decomposing the original image using the Haar wavelet transform, the proposed detector obtains the variance information of the image, making it possible to extract more distinctive features from the original image. For detection of interest points that represent the regions whose variance is the highest among their neighbor regions, we apply the average box filter to evaluate the local variance information and use the integral image technique for fast computation. Due to utilization of the Haar wavelet transform and the average box filter, the proposed detector is robust to illumination change, scale change, and rotation of the image. Experimental results show that even though the proposed method detects fewer interest points, it achieves higher repeatability, higher efficiency and higher matching accuracy compared with the DoG detector and Harris corner detector.

SIFT is popularly used in computer vision application such as object recognition, motion tracking, and 3D reconstruction among various shape descriptors. However, it is not easy to apply SIFT into the image similarity search as it is since it uses many high dimensional keypoint vectors. In this paper, we present a SIFT based image similarity search method using an edge image pyramid and an interesting region detection. The proposed method extracts keypoints, which is invariant to contrast, scale, and rotation of image, by using the edge image pyramid and removes many unnecessary keypoints from the image by using the hough transform. The proposed hough transform can detect objects of ellipse type so that it can be used to find interesting regions. Experimental results demonstrate that the retrieval performance of the proposed method is about 20% better than that of traditional SIFT in average recall.

This paper describes a method for overcoming the motion artifacts inherent in synthetic aperture(SA) imaging. based on the investigation results as to the influence of a target motion on synthetic aperture techniques. This method uses a region-based motion compensation approach in which only the axial motion is estimated and compensated for a given region of interest(ROI) under the assumption that the whole ROI moves uniformly The estimated axial motion is calculated with a crosscorrelation(CC) method at the Point where the focused signal has the maximum energy within the ROI. We also presents a method for estimating the axial motion using the autocorrelation(AC) method that is widely used to estimate average Doppler frequency Both computer simulations and in vivo experiments show that the proposed methods can improve greatly the spatial resolution and SNR of ultrasound imaging by implementing the SA techniques for two-way dynamic focusing without motion artifacts. In addition the AC-barred motion compensation method provides almost the same results as the CC-based one, but with a dramatically reduced computational complexity.

ICT-convergence cluster is considered as critical policy means because it can create higher value-added products and services in the era of creative economy. Previous research has focused on comprehensive ICT-convergence cluster strategy based on Porter's diamond model. This paper adopted AIDA(Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) model and investigated a specific domain of government supporting policies related to non-R&D support. For two weeks, we gathered and analyzed 181 data from companies located in Chungbuk province. The results showed that support for technology, commercialization, and participation conditions positively leads to companies' interest in ICT-convergence cluster, which, in turn, makes positive impact on their intention to participate in it. It is significant that this paper verified AIDA model in the Government-to-Business(G2B) context. Future research will need to adapt AIDA model to national projects.
