We have developed the ATE(Automatic Test Equipment) system for the performance test of pre-amplifier of thermal imaging devices. The device regenerates the electronic signals of photon detection module which is normally in weak energy, for the image signals processing. Previous ATE system was primarily and actively developed in the field of semiconductor devices quality parts inspection. Recently, it has been studied in the field of performance testing of equipment. In the field of thermal performance test equipment, however, it lacks the study of ATE compared to other areas, which causes the maintenance related to the core of military thermal imaging system maintenance to be limited. In this paper, a new study of ATE in the field of thermal imaging system is done. It is designed to be used universally for the ATE system with different types of circuit card of thermal imaging system by adopting matrix relays. Using the developed ATE measuring the pre-amplifier amplitude, an average amplified amplitude of 2.71Vpp was measured which confirms that it is within the range of theoretical analysis and also verifies the good performance of the developed ATE.

The 8 rare earth elements were determined in the monazite concentrates by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The spectral line overlapping interferences from the other elements were investigated and the correction methods of interferences were studied using line overlap coefficients. The coefficients were calculated from the ratios of the intensities measured at the diffracted angle (2${\theta}$) of the analytical lines of other elements to the intensity of pure rare earth oxide. The coefficients were used to correct the line overlaps by a regression analysis. The linearities of calibration curves from the corrected intensities were remarkably improved, and their standard deviations were decreased. The analytical results agreed with that of the inductively coupled plasma(ICP) spectrometry within an allowable error range.

The purpose of this study is to analyse clinical impact of specific MRI findings in liver in patients of long-term survivors after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE). Twenty-eight patients who were underwent KPE were followed up more than 5 years. Macro-regenerative nodule (MRN) and beaded-duct dilatation (BDD) were considered as important findings in liver MRI. The association between these findings in MRI and clinical indicator, serum bilirubin level and history of cholangitis were evaluated. Sixteen patients (57.1%) were shown MRN in liver MRI. Therewere 14 patients(50%) whose MRI showed BDD. Serum total and direct bilirubin were 3.6 mg/dL and 1.8 mg/dL respectively in positive MRN group whereas 1.4 mg/dL and 0.7 mg/dL in negative MRN group (p = 0.427). Serum total and direct bilirubin level were 4.2 mg/dL and 2.1 mg/dL in patients with BDD negative group compare to 1.1 mg/dL and 0.5 mg/dL in BDD positive group (p = 0.281). The odds ratio to have cholangitis in the patient with MRN was 2.3 and 0.53 in patient with BDD in their MRI findings. MRN in liver MRI may suggest high bilirubin level and more chance to have cholangitis, but the findings of BDD may related to low bilirubin level and less change to have cholangitis.

By utilizing OSMI (Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager) onboard KOMPSAT-1, the moon can be imaged. Because the moon has no atmosphere and reflects sun lights at a constant rate, it can be the radiance source for calibration of OSMI. But there are a lot of risks which made KOMPSAT-1 enter into safe-hold mode. So planning the imaging of the moon with OSMI should be determined seriously with consideration to information on KOMPSAT-1 operation, the moon, the sun, etc. But it takes a long time for determining the imaging time of the moon using MCE(Mission Control Element) simulator and there are operational problems to be solved. In this paper, fast simulator for determining imaging time for the moon with OSMI has been developed. The proper timeline for imaging the moon and the position of the moon image in OSMI image coordinates and the phase of the moon are determined. STK was used for acquiring information on KOMPSAT-1, the moon, the sun and the characteristitcs of OSMI are considered. As a result, we can determine imaging time of the moon with OSMI much faster and efficiently.

Ta$_2$O$_5$, Nb$_2$O$_5$, SnO$_2$ and ZrO$_2$ in tin-slag samples were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using the dilution parameter method and the analytical results were compared with the data obtained by standard calibration curve method. Tin-slag samples and one standard sample having very similar composition to the tin-slags were diluted with a proper diluent (La$_2$O$_3$) to the ratio of 1: 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 3 and 1 : 4. After measuring the X-ray intensities of original and diluted samples, the values of dilution parameters were calculated by using the dilution parameter equation. Without any calibration curve, the analytical results were calculated from the equation including the dilution parameter term. The results were in good agreement with the reference data by the standard calibration curve method.

In this paper, we propose a method for optimizing a computer-generated hologram(CGH) by combining the Tabu Search(TS) algorithm with the Simulated Annealing(SA) algorithm. By replacing an initial random pattern of the SA algorithm with an approximately ideal hologram pattern of the TS algorithm, we design a CGH which has high diffraction efficiency(DE). We compared the performance of the proposed algorithm with the SA algorithm using computer simulation and an optical experiment. As a result, we confirmed diffraction efficiency and uniformity to be enhanced in the proposed algorithm.

With the opening of the small power brokerage business market in December 2018, the small power trading market has started in Korea. Operators must submit the day-ahead estimates of power output and receive incentives based on its accuracy. Therefore, the accuracy of power generation forecasts is directly affects profits of the operators. The forecasting process for power generation can be divided into two procedure. The first is to forecast solar irradiation and the second is to transform forecasted solar irradiation into power generation. There are two methods for transformation. One is to simulate with physical model, and another is to use regression model. In this study, we found the best-fit regression model by analyzing hourly data of PV output and solar irradiation data during three years for 242 PV plants in Korea. The best model was not a linear model, but a sigmoidal model and specifically a Gompertz model. The combined linear regression and Gompertz curve was proposed because a the curve has non-zero y-intercept. As the result, R² and RMSE between observed data and the curve was significantly reduced.

In this paper, we present a facial expression recognition-synthesis system that recognizes 7 basic emotion information automatically and renders face with non-photorelistic style in PDA For the recognition of the facial expressions, first we need to detect the face area within the image acquired from the camera. Then, a normalization procedure is applied to it for geometrical and illumination corrections. To classify a facial expression, we have found that when Gabor wavelets is combined with enhanced Fisher model the best result comes out. In our case, the out put is the 7 emotional weighting. Such weighting information transmitted to the PDA via a mobile network, is used for non-photorealistic facial expression animation. To render a 3-D avatar which has unique facial character, we adopted the cartoon-like shading method. We found that facial expression animation using emotional curves is more effective in expressing the timing of an expression comparing to the linear interpolation method.

도심 지역은 인구집중, 토지 피복의 변화 및 교통량 증가 등의 인공열 배출원의 다양화 등의 요인에 의해 주변지역보다도 기온이 높은 도시 열섬(Urban Heat Island) 현상에 의해 독특한 도시기후의 특색을 보이게 된다. 일반적으로 도시 열 환경에 대한 연구는 도시 열섬의 강도나 현상을 파악하는데 집중되어 왔다. 최근 들어 도시 열섬 현상 완화 또는 개선을 위한 관심이 높아지면서 도시내에 존재하는 수면이나 녹지를 이용한 기후개선에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하천은 다양한 생물이 서식하는 공간이면서 생물의 다양성이 풍부한 생태계의 보고로 인간과 환경이 조화를 이루어 온 공간이기도 하다. 이와 같이 하천은 지역의 다양성과 특수성에 따라 가지고 있는 기능이 다양하다. 그 중 하천의 환경 기능은 많은 열용량을 축적시켜 수면의 온도상승을 적게 하여 하천의 온도는 물론 주변지역의 온도를 낮추는 역할을 하게 된다. 특히 흐르는 물은 대류와 혼합과정을 거치며 열을 운반할 수 있으므로 효율적인 축열체가 된다. 또한 하천의 물 등은 광의 투과성이 높기 때문에 표면에서는 반사되지 않고 수체 내에 열을 저장한다. 따라서 이러한 현상이 종합적으로 작용하여 도심하천은 도심지에서 높게 형성된 온도를 낮추는 냉각효과가 있다고 판단된다. 이러한 영향을 알아보기 위해 본 연구에서는 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 도심하천이 도시 열완경 완화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 2009년 9월 6일 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성영상을 이용하여 LST (Land Surface Temperature)를 추출하고, SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algori- thms for Land) 모델을 이용하여 지표면 열수지 성분을 추출하였다. 그 결과, 도심하천 주변의 온도가 도심지에 비해 $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ 정도 낮게 형성되었으며, 잠열은 주변 도심지에 비해 하천에서 높은 분포를 나타내었다. 그러나 하천 둔치나 하천 주변의 콘크리트, 아스팔트 및 나대지 등의 토지피복은 지표면 온도가 높게 형성되어 도심의 heat spot으로 작용하여 열 환경을 악화시키나 도심하천은 cool spot 작용을 하여 도심의 열을 완화하는 기능을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.
