This paper proposes multiple access method for smart doorlock system using VLC(Visible Light Communication) with color grid modulation method. The proposed method is to connect multiple visible light signals using color grid modulation method in order to recognize and authenticate multiple users accessing doorlock. In order to enable visible light multiple access with existing infrastructure, the symbol energy interval of signal should be maximized. Thus, performance of system in VLC channel is measured by modulating symbols based on the proposed method. We confirm the actual channel test results of the modulated signal to implement doorlock system that recognizes the number of multiple access users.

최근 기후변화 영향에 따라 전 세계적으로 인명피해 및 재산피해를 유발하는 자연재난이 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 그로 인한 자연재해의 규모가 점점 더 커지고 있다. 실제로 우리나라에서도 지난 1994 년에서 2013 년까지 지난 20 년간 자연재해에 의한 피해액은 12조 3천억 원으로 집계되었으며, 이 중 강우와 태풍에 의한 피해가 85 % 이고, 대설에 의한 피해는 약 13 % 로 자연재해 중 대부분의 피해는 강우 및 태풍에서 발생하지만, 폭설에 의한 피해도 적지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라, 정확한 예측을 위해 신뢰도 높은 자료 구축을 통한 대설피해 예측에 관한 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 대설피해액 예측을 위해 우리나라의 63개 기상 관측소에서 관측한 적설심 자료 및 기상관측 자료와 사회 경제 자료 총 11개를 대설피해 예측을 위한 입력변수로 선정하고, 이를 기상관측소가 속한 도시의 면적에 따라 3개의 지역으로 구분하였다. 주성분분석을 활용하여 선정된 입력변수들을 4개의 주성분으로 구분하고, 인공신경망 및 다중선형 회귀 모형을 구성하여 각 지역별 대설피해 예측의 오차를 분석하였다. 적용결과, 인공신경망 모형을 이용한 대설피해 예측의 수정결정계수는 22.8 %~48.2 %를 나타냈고, 다중선형회귀 모형의 수정결정 계수는 9.2 %~39.7% 로 나타났다. 그러므로 인공신경망 모형이 다중회귀 모형보다 선택된 입력자료를 활용하여 대설피해를 예측하는 목적으로 조금 더 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 향후 자료를 보완 및 모형의 고도화를 통해 보다 정확한 대설피해 예측 함수 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Signals in an underwater channel get distorted by multipath propagation. In this paper, pre-coding method is suggested which helps comprehending the signals with minimum equalization. The signals are transformed based on the knowledge of the impulse response of the channel. Proposed pre-coding method is tested by simulations based on the ray theory and through water tank experiments. In weak multipath environment, in case of an SNR of about 20 dB, BER is $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-4}$, while in strong multipath environment, similar BER is achieved with SNR of about 30 dB. In order for the pre-coding method to be used for underwater vehicles, channel prediction method utilizing the waveguide invariant is suggested and tested.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oral health awareness and oral health behavior on cardiocerebrovascular prevention behavior in a cardiocerebrovascular diseases risk group and provide basic data for a nursing intervention program for the group. Data were collected from 131 people in the risk group of cardiocerebrovascular diseases living in J Province in February and March of 2018. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that preventive acts were positively correlated with subjective oral health state (r=0.261, p=0.003), importance of oral health (r=0.250, p=0.004), and practice of oral health (r=0.303, p<0.001). Moreover, acts to prevent cardiocerebrovascular disease were influenced by oral health (${\beta}=0.29$, p<0.001), age (${\beta}=0.27$, p=0.001), and subjective oral health state (${\beta}=0.24$, p=0.003). Specifically, scores of preventive acts for cardiocerebrovascular diseases increased with higher degree of oral health behavior, older age, and better subjective oral health state. These variables had an explanatory power of 19.3%. The results of this study imply a need to prepare measures to enhance the oral health level of the risk group of cardiocerebrovascular diseases and conduct ongoing follow-up studies of the perception, attitude, and behavior of individuals toward oral health, as well as the state of oral health.

Migration velocity analysis (MVA) for creating optimum depth-domain velocities in seismic imaging was applied to marine long-offset multi-channel data, and the effectiveness of the MVA approach was demonstrated by the combinations of conventional data processing procedures. The time-domain images generated by conventional time-processing scheme has been considered to be sufficient so far for the seismic stratigraphic interpretation. However, when the purpose of the seismic imaging moves to the hydrocarbon exploration, especially in the geologic modeling of the oil and gas play or lead area, drilling prognosis, in-place hydrocarbon volume estimation, the seismic images should be converted into depth domain or depth processing should be applied in the processing phase. CMP-based velocity analysis, which is mainly based on several approximations in the data domain, inherently contains errors and thus has high uncertainties. On the other hand, the MVA provides efficient and somewhat real-scale (in depth) images even if there are no logging data available. In this study, marine long-offset multi-channel seismic data were optimally processed in time domain to establish the most qualified dataset for the usage of the iterative MVA. Then, the depth-domain velocity profile was updated several times and the final velocity-in-depth was used for generating depth images (CRP gather and stack) and compared with the images obtained from the velocity-in-time. From the results, we were able to confirm the depth-domain results are more reasonable than the time-domain results. The spurious local minima, which can be occurred during the implementation of full waveform inversion, can be reduced when the result of MVA is used as an initial velocity model.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 3.0-T breast MRI for detecting additional breast cancer soon after the initial diagnosis of breast cancer. Materials and Methods : From March to June 2009, 101 patients recently diagnosed breast cancer underwent breast MRI and surgery. Parameters analyzed on MRI were total extent of tumor, suspicious findings of multifocal, multicentric, or contralateral cancer. The diagnosis of MRI-detected cancer was confirmed by means of biopsy or surgical specimen evaluation after the localization. Results : MRI showed 37 additional suspicious findings in 34 patients. Twenty nine findings were true-positive (29/37, 78.4%), including 16 cases of multifocality, 11 cases of multicentricity and 2 cases of contralateral cancer. Among these cancers, 13 (44.8%) were ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and 16 (55.1%) were infiltrating cancer. Eight findings were false-positive (8/37, 21.6%) including 6 cases of benign disease and 2 cases of high-risk lesions. Conclusion : In women with recently diagnosed breast cancer, 3.0-T MR imaging showed additional suspicious findings in 33.7%. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting additional breast cancer was 100% and 89.3%, respectively.

This study aimed to investigate the levels of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), health behavior and sleep quality and to examine the predictors of OSA in patients with ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular disease. 141 patients who were admitted to the vascular unit were recruited and surveyed using structured questionnaires. Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen (SpO2) was measured at three time points using a pulse oximeter. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 20.0. The mean age of the subjects was $64.4{\pm}11.1$ years and 61% was men. The 21.3%(n=30) of the subjects were classified as high-risk for OSA by the cut point and 71.6%(n=101) had low sleep quality. OSA high-risk group showed significant difference in SpO2 in the middle of sleep (p=.006) and at the end of sleep (p=.004) compared to the low-risk group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that perceived frequent snoring, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise among health behavior were found as predicting factors on OSA. OSA or persistent snoring should be recognized as a cardiovascular risk factor in the cardiovascular nursing practice. In addition to early treatment of OSA, education and counseling should be provided to patients and their family for prevention of secondary recurrence.

신태인 수위관측소는 동진강 본류에 위치하고 있으며 이 지점의 유역면적은 $218.0km^2$이고 하구로부터 19.0km 떨어져 있다. 이 지점은 하류에 위치한 동진제수문의 영향을 받는 곳에 설치된 수위관측소이다. 신태인 수위관측소에서 하류로 약 9km 지점에 부량 수위관측소가 있으며 이 지점에서 약 300m 하류에 동진제수문이 설치되어 운영되고 있다. 이 수위관측소는 하류의 동진제수문의 영향을 받고 있는 상황에서 수위-유량곡선이 개발되어 운영되고 있으며 수위-유량곡선은 저류와 방류로 구분되어 있다. 이들 관측소가 속해 있는 동진강에서 유출되는 유량은 새만금 간척사업지구내의 새만금호로 유입되기 때문에 중요하다. 신태인 수위관측소 지점의 유량측정은 1997년부터 2003년까지 실시되었다. 1999년부터 이 지점의 수위-유량곡선을 동진제수문의 개폐여부에 따라서 저류와 방류로 구분하여 수위-유량곡선을 제시하였다. 이 때 수문의 개폐여부는 동진제수문의 관리 대장을 참조하여 단순하게 구분하였다. 개방여부의 정도가 상류의 신태인 수위관측소에 영향을 미치기 때문에 이를 반영된 수위-유량곡선의 개발이 쉽지 않으며 실제 신태인 수위관측소에 관측된 수위에 따른 유량의 분포가 산포되어 있는 상황이다. 특히 평수위 이하에서 더 심한 것으로 나타났다. 이런 상황에서 단일 수위-유량곡선을 개발하여 적용하는 경우에 오차가 심한 것으로 나타나 있으며 실제 상황에서 저류와 방류로 구분하여 개발된 수위-유량곡선을 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 동진제수문의 상류 약 300m 지점에 부량 수위관측소가 설치되어 있는데 이 지점의 수위관측소의 수위를 고려하여 부량 지점 수위와 신태인 지점 수위와 유량의 상관성을 분석하였다. 그리고 신태인 지점의 수위-유량곡선을 저류와 방류로 구분한 경우와 통합한 경우의 수위-유량곡선식을 비교하였다. 이 지점은 하류 수문의 영향을 받기 때문에 하류의 조위 등으로 영향을 받는 경우에 종종 사용되는 지수형 다중 회귀식을 적용하여 수위-유량곡선을 제시 하였으며 그 결과를 실측값과 비교한 결과, 상관계수가 양호하게 평가되었다.

This paper deals with the measurements of wireless image signal in subway tunnels at 2.45GHz. Measurements have been conducted in 3 subway stations with different types; a straight tunnel and two curved tunnels. As a analysis result for the measured data, we found that the signal level inside straight tunnel by the strong multipath waves fluctuate deeply compared to the curved tunnel. The path loss exponent for the Shin-hung station with the straight tunnel is 2.5, those for the Pan-am and Dae-dong station with curved tunnels are 1.6 and 1.9, respectively. The fade depth and width at 50% point became relatively serious at Shin-hung station, the level crossing rate inside the Pan-am station is larger than the other stations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the fading phenomena affect to the signal performance generate seriously at straight tunnel compared to the curved tunnel.

The images acquired from the speaker's mouth region revealed the unique patterns according to the corresponding voices. By using this principle, the several methods were proposed in which speech signals were recognized or synthesized from the images acquired at the speaker's lower face. In this study, an image-based speech synthesis method was proposed in which the depth images were cooperatively used. Since depth images yielded depth information that cannot be acquired from optical image, it can be used for the purpose of supplementing flat optical images. In this paper, the usefulness of depth images from the perspective of speech synthesis was evaluated. The validation experiment was carried out on 60 Korean isolated words, it was confirmed that the performance in terms of both subjective and objective evaluation was comparable to the optical image-based method. When the two images were used in combination, performance improvements were observed compared with when each image was used alone.
