The longitudinal axial strain in the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete (RC) columns influences on the structural behavior of RC structures subjected to reversed cyclic loading. This strain decreases the effective compressive strength of concrete and increases the lateral displacements between stories by causing the elongation of member length. This paper investigated the effects of the axial force on the elongation of a RC member by using a sectional analysis of RC members. The analytical and experimental results indicated that the axial force decreased the axial strain in the plastic hinge region of RC columns. In this study, a model was proposed to predict the axial strain of RC columns. The proposed model considering the effects of axial force ratio consisted of three path types ; Path 1-loading region, Path 2-unloading region, and Path 3-reversing cyclic loading region. The axal strains predicted by the proposed model were compared with the test results of RC columns with various axial force ratios, and agreed reasonably with the observed longitudinal strains.

Mutation analysis (or software mutation analysis) generates variants of a target program by injecting systematic code changes to the target program, and utilizes the variants to analyze the target program behaviors. Effective mutation analyses require adequate mutation operators that generate diverse variants for use in the analysis. However, the current mutation analysis tools for Java programs have limitations, since they support only limited types of mutation operators and do not support recent language features such as Java8. In this study, we present Mutagen4J, a new mutant generation tool for Java programs. Mutagen4J additionally supports mutation operators recently shown to generate various mutants and fully supports recent Java language features. The experimental results show that Mutagen4J generates useful mutants for analyses 2.3 times more than the existing Java mutation tools used for the study.

본 논문에서는 3차원 영상 시스템에서 기준이 되는 좌우 영상이 있을 때 임의의 중간 시점 영상 합성 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 기법은 양방향 다이나믹 프로그래밍 기반 변이 추정 과정과, 이를 기반으로 양방향 변이 정합과정에 의해 가려진 영역을 추출하는 과정, 그리고 완성된 변이 맵을 바탕으로 중간 시점 영상을 생성하는 과정으로 구성된다. 이중 변이 추정 과정에 제안된 양방향 다이나믹 프로그래밍 기법은, 일반적인 다이나믹 프로그래밍이 가진 장점을 살리면서, 영상 특성을 고려한 코스트 값의 사용 및 양방향 코스트 행렬 생성 방법으로 발생될 수 있는 오류를 최소화함으로써 가려진 영역을 보다 정확하게 구분해 낼 수 있었다. 이후 이러한 과정에서 생성된 변이 맵에 대해 적절한 후처리 과정으로 가려진 영역을 판별하고, 이를 기반으로 한 중간 영상 생성에서 모호한 영역을 고려하여 보다 정확하고 안정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문은 다시점 카메라로부터 획득된 다시점 영상을 이용하여, 영상내의 모든 화소에 대한 정확한 변이 정보를 획득하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 정합창(measurement window)을 사용하는 화소기반 정합방법을 통해 정확한 변이 추정과 비용 함수 계산시 반복적인 계산을 줄임으로써 전체적인 수행 속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 정확한 변이 정보를 획득하는데 있어서 가려진 영역이 많은 영향을 미친다. 또한 가려진 영역의 판단 및 처리는 2대의 카메라로는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 평행식으로 구성된 5대 이상의 다시점 카메라로부터 획득된 다시점 영상을 사용함으로써 변이 정보의 신뢰도를 높이고, 가려진 영역을 처리할 수 있다. 또한 비용 함수 계산의 반복성을 이용하여 계산량을 줄임으로써 전체적인 수행시간을 줄인다. 이렇게 획득된 변이 정보는 다시점 영상의 중간시점영상 생성을 위해 사용된다.

이 논문은 유한상태변환기만을 이용하여 한국어 형태소 분석 및 품사 태깅 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 한국어 형태소 분석 시스템들은 규칙기반 형태소 분석기가 주를 이루고 한국어 품사 태깅 시스템은 은닉마르코프 모델 기반 품사 태깅이 주를 이루었다. 한국어 형태소 분석의 경우 유한상태변환기를 이용한 경우도 있었으나, 이 방법은 변환기를 작성하기 위한 규칙을 수작업으로 구축해야 하며, 그 규칙에 따라서 사전이 작성되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 품사 태깅 말뭉치를 이용해서 유한상태변환기에서 필요한 모든 변환 규칙을 자동으로 추출한다. 이런 방법으로 네 종류의 변환기, 즉, 자소분리변환기, 단어분리변환기, 단어형성변환기, 품사결정변환기를 자동으로 구축한다. 구축된 변환기들은 결합연산(composition operation)을 이용하여 하나의 유한상태변환기를 구성하여 한국어 형태소 분석과 동시에 한국어 품사 태깅을 수행한다. 이 방법은 하나의 유한상태변환기만을 이용하기 때문에 복잡도는 선형시간(linear complexity)을 가지면, 형태소 분석기와 품사 태깅 시스템을 매우 짧은 시간 내에 개발 할 수 있었다.

Statement of problem: Peri-implant marginal bone loss is an important factor that affects the success of implants in esthetics and function. Various efforts have been made to reduce this bone loss by improving implant design and surface texture. Previous studies have shown that early marginal bone loss is affected by implant neck designs. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of laser microtexturing of implant collar on peri-implant marginal bone loss. Materials and methods: Radiographical marginal bone loss was examined in patients treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures. Marginal bone level was examined with 101 implant fixtures installed in 53 patients at three periods(at the time of implantation, prosthetic treatment and 6-month after loading). Four types of implants were examined. The differences of bone loss between implants(ITI standard) with enough biologic width and implants(ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC, Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$) with insufficient biologic width have been compared. Resorption angles were examined at the time of prosthetic delivery and 6-month after loading. Results and Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, the following results were drawn. 1. The marginal bone loss of ITI standard and Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ was less than that of ITI esthetic plus and Silhouette IC(P<0.05). The marginal bone loss between ITI standard and Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ had no significant statistical difference(P>0.05). There was no significant statistical difference between marginal bone loss of ITI esthetic plus and Silhouette IC(P>0.05). 2. There was no significant difference in marginal bone loss between maxilla and mandible(P>0.05). 3. There was no significant difference in resorption angle among four types of implants(P>0.05). The marginal bone of implants with supracrestal collar design of less than that of biologic width had resorbed more than those with sufficient collar length. The roughness and laser microtexturing of implant neck seem to affect these results. If an implant with collar length of biologic width, exposure of fixture is a possible complication especially in the anterior regions of dentition that demand high esthetics. Short smooth neck implant are often recommended in these areas which may lack the distance between microgap and the marginal bone level. In these cases, the preservation of marginal bone must be put into consideration. From the result of this study, it may be concluded that laser microtexturing of implant neck is helpful in the preservation of marginal bone.

During carcinogenesis, precancers (premalignant lesions) are the morphologically identifiable lesions that precede invasive cancers. In theory, the successful treatment of precancers would result in the eradication of most human cancers. Despite the importance of these lesions, there has been no effort to list and classify all of the precancers. In 2001, the NCI sponsored a workshop on the classification of precancers. When considering all the possible classes of precancers, it is worth noting that not all precancers are neoplastic. In fact, precancers need not progress to cancer, and precancerous lesions often have a high rate of regression. Thus, the following five classes were adopted: 1) acquired microscopic precancers; 2) acquired large lesions with microscopic atypia; 3) Precursor lesions occurring with inherited hyperplastic syndromes that progress to cancer; 4) acquired diffuse hyperplasias and diffuse metaplasias; and 5) currently unclassified entities. In this review paper, precancerous lesions of the stomach are classified and their clinical significance is described.

To enhance the performance of multi-view sequence CODEC, an efficient disparity vector coding method fur multiview sequences is proposed herein. For higher coding efficiency, we encode the differential vectors acquired by subtracting the original vectors from the predicted ones. To enhance the performance of disparity vector coding, it is essential to predict the disparity vectors accurately. The prediction by this proposed method utilizes the correlation among the multiview images, while conventional methods exploit the correlation among the causal blocks. Experiments were performed fur three different 5 view sequences. We were able to confirm that the proposed method predicts disparity vectors accurately by comparing the entropy and the mean absolute values for differential vectors with conventional methods. Its performance is superior to vector coding methods used in MPEG-4 which uses only a spatial correlation. The proposed method increases the coding efficiency by a factor of $30{\~}45\%$ while preserving image quality.

In this paper, we propose a variable vocabulary word recognizer that is able to recognize new words not exist in training data. For the variable vocabulary word recognizer, we must have an on-line lexicon generator to transform new candidate words to the corresponding pronunciation sequences of phones without any large lexicon table. And, we also must make outputs. In order to model the phones and allophones reliably, we define Korean allophones by triphone clustering based on phonetic knowledge of preceding and succeeding phones of each phone. Using the clustering method, we generated 1,548 allophones with POW (Phonetically Optimized Words) 3,848 word DB. We evaluated the proposed word recognizer with POW 3,848 DB, PBW (Phonetically Balanced Words) 445 DB, and 244 word DB in hotel reservation task. Experimental results showed word recognition accuracy of 79.6% for the POW DB corresponding to vocabulary-dependent case, 79.4% in case of 445 word lexicon and 88.9% in case of 100 word lexicon for the PBW DB, and 71.4% for the hotel reservation DB corresponding to vocabulary-independent case.

This study introduces a layered sectional analysis for a PSC girder with a vaiable cross section and curved tendons. To consider the shear equilibrium at a concrete layer with curved tendons, the shear stress distribution has been computed at each section. In addition, to improve the convergence to the solution, a system identification technique is newly adopted in the solution process for strain computation. To examine the feasibility of the proposed approach, a static load test has been conducted for a full scale PSC girder with variable cross section. The prediction shows a good agreement with experiment. It is seen that a uniform cross section has the same moment capacity with a variable cross section while the variable cross section has more shear capacity than the uniform cross section. It is also noted that the maximum displacement of a variable cross section is a little smaller than a uniform cross section.
