Hepatic vessel tree is the key structure for hepatic disease diagnosis and liver surgery planning. Especially, it is used to evaluate the donors' and recipients' liver for the LDLT(Living Donors Liver Transplantation) and estimate the volumes of left and right hepatic lobes for securing their life in the LDLT. In this study, we propose a method to apply canny edge detection that is not affected by noise to the liver images for automatic segmentation of hepatic vessels tree in contrast abdominal MDCT image. Using histograms and average pixel values of the various liver CT images, optimized parameters of the Canny algorithm are determined. It is more time-efficient to use the common parameters than to change parameters manually according to CT images. Candidates of hepatic vessels are extracted by threshold filtering around the detected the vessel edge. Finally, using a system which detects the true-negatives and the false-positives in horizontal and vertical direction, the true-negatives are added in candidate of hepatic vessels and the false-positives are removed. As a result of the process, the various hepatic vessel trees of patients are accurately reconstructed in 3D.

Gardening activities, plant raising, and general flowerbeds the public makes today can be found in the original form of cottage gardens in the United Kingdom. A cottage garden is a popular garden style of modern Britain, implying unique Englishness including ethnic sense and vernacular. In addition, the purpose of this study is to consider the modern movement in the United Kingdom in the past 200 years and read Englishness of cottage gardens through style differentiation and background of occurrence of cottage gardens appearing in this process. Therefore, this study is summarized as follows. First, a view of nature of the Englishman loving freedom and landscape acts as a key part of patriotism and is connected to the preservation of idyllic England. For this ideal of the Englishman of the country, idyllic British characteristics are found in various literatures and artistic fruits; cottage gardens, that is a form of new garden, were made with invigoration of supply and collection of plants. Second, an early form of cottage gardens was the domestic garden, in which there is a vegetable garden by middle-class move to a suburb according to urbanization, but evolved into a form of garden having both artistry and regionality, vernacular, and ecological characteristics with various situations of modern society(handicraft promotion movement, preservation of remains, and ancient building restoration movement). Wild gardens occurring in this process are a type of garden realizing wild fields and forests in the United Kingdom;they have made a big impact on many garden designers up to now. Cottage gardens, reflecting a variety of Englishness, is a subject of city planning and flower shows and is a culture symbolizing the United Kingdom.

In this paper, we have studied the improvement of operational control for the enhancement of business continuity of information system becoming more important with the development of information technology such as big data, Iot, and artificial intelligence. The operational management and audit guidance of the current information system, which is coming in the fourth industrial age, where various services, data and industries are converged, is based on the existing general information system pattern and needs to be improved. The provision of services at fixed times is linked to the survival of enterprises and countries and serves as a key element. Therefore, it is necessary to study the application of optimized check items of the operation audits to minimize the service interruption damage of the information system and to provide the stable service in terms of business continuity management. To accomplish this, the check items presented in the operational control of the information system were derived by combining the PDCA step contents and 8 resource requirements provided in ISO 22301. From the point of view of increasing the business continuity according to the derivation criteria of the inspection items, the operational inspection check items were derived by exemplifying the improved check items and review items of the information system operation audit and the products to be checked during the operational audit. The check items were divided into management audit improvement check items for service continuity management, and operational audit improvement check items for performance and availability management. The average score of the IT professionals' survey on the suitability of the proposed checklist was 4.63, which was concluded to be appropriate.

Recently, many companies have started to manage and support CoPs formally at the organizational level because of strategic usability of CoP. These companies are also seeking ways to motivate CoP members to actively participate in their groups. Accordingly, this paper proposes one way of increasing CoP activities by rearranging CoP members. In practice, active CoP members often lead their groups. Therefore, rearranging members can, eventually, be one method to motivate more individuals to participate in CoP activities. This paper first suggests a new approach in order to improve knowledge sharing activities at the organizational level based on rearranging members of current CoPs. Second, a mathematical model is presented which maximizes total BLS (Balanced Level Score) of company A with several constraints. Then a real world problem is changed to a popular problem, VRP to solve this problem. Third, the solution program was developed to find a meaningful solution.

In this study, we developed an experimental method of the Charles' law applicable to school. Science textbooks and literatures on this principle were analyzed to extract factors utilized in organizing the experimental setup and method. A combined structure such as with a vial and a glass tube, the former of which is for deciding the total volume and the latter of which is for easy measurement of volume, was better in measurement of volume with temperature rather than a simple structure such as syringe. Use of graduated cylinder as a water bath to control the temperature showed advantage in cooling time than using other bath of larger volume such as a beaker. A liquid drop was used as a plug in the glass tube. This plug has little resistance with the glass wall when the gas volume changes. Water as a liquid drop in the glass tube had a significant effect in volume change of gas due to evaporation, especially in the beginning of the measurement. Glycerol showing negligible effect in volume change was used. This method took about one hour and produced a good linear relationship between the temperature and volume of gas with $R^2$ = 0.999 and absolute zero temperature = $-216.7\;{^{\circ}C}$. The Charles' law experiment developed in this study can be performed with appropriate adjustment of procedure considering the purpose of the curriculum of science and chemistry subject at each school level.

야외지질학습은 교실에서 경험할 수 없는 물질과 현상을 관찰하고 직접 경험할 수 있는 기회를 제공받을 수 있어서 매우 중요하다(Orion 1989). 또한 체험활동으로서 교실에서 학습한 내용의 구체적인 예를 제공하여 교육과정을 촉진시키는데 중요한 요소로 인식되고 있다. 일반적으로 야외 활동은 교실 활동보다 학생들의 경험과 훨씬 더 밀접히 관련되어 있기 때문에 보다 의미가 있을 수 있다. 야외실습 중에서 얻은 경험은 학생들이 그가 관찰한 것에 대해 읽도록 동기화시키고, 교과서와 자연조건에서의 실제적 경험 사이의 차이를 연결해 주는 다리를 제공해 줄 수 있다(홍정수, 장남기, 1997). 야외학습을 위한 적절한 장소는 먼저 학습주제나 목표와 부합되는 곳이어야 하며, 지리적으로 가깝고 안전한 곳이어야 한다(김찬종, 2008). 그렇기 때문에 각 지역별로 학습주제와 부합된 지역을 선정하여 야외지질 학습자료를 개발하는 것은 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전북 남원 일대를 중심으로 한 야외지질 학습자료를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 전북 남원지역은 한반도의 중요지괴에 해당하는 영남육괴 지리산지구에 해당하며 편마암 복합체를 기저로 이를 관입하는 수 차례의 화성활동과 지구조운동으로 복잡한 지질양상을 보인다. 또한 지리산 지역은 평안분지와 경상분지의 일부가 보존되어 있고 지질시대를 달리하는 각종 화성암류가 골고루 분포하여 각 지질시대별로 화성활동과 지구조 운동이 활발했음을 시사해준다. 본 연구에서는 남원 지역의 지질학적 특징을 관찰하기 용이한 지역을 대상으로 총 5곳을 선정하였다. 남원 시내에 소재한 춘향대교 아래 지역은 중생대 쥐라기에 관입한 저반상의 남원화강암과 페그마타이트가 다수 분포하는 곳이다. 이 지역에서는 무수히 많은 관입암체를 찾을 수 있는데 다수의 지진과 지각변동이 있었음을 알 수 있다. 두 번째 장소는 다양한 바위들을 관찰할 수 있는 구룡계곡 일대이다. 이 장소는 오랜기간 동안 물의 흐름에 의해 풍화와 침식을 받은 다양한 크기의 바위를 관찰하고 구별함으로써 풍화에 따른 원마도의 관계, 바위들의 배치 형태를 통해 고지형 및 고수류의 방향을 유추해 볼 수 있다. 남원에서 장수 방향에 위치한 만행산 주변에는 흑운모편마암에 우세한데, 이 지역에서는 흑운모편마암에 나타나는 변성구조로 볼 때 높은 열과 압력을 받은 광역변성작용을 받는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 관입암체 내에 다양한 맥들이 관입을 해와 이를 통해 관입암체들의 상대연령을 판단해보는 학습자료로 활용될 수 있다. 네 번째 장소는 남원시 인월면 인풍리 소재의 인월 피바위 지역이다. 이 지역에서는 압쇄상 화강암이 주로 관찰되는데 이는 기원암인 반상화강암이 동력변성작용을 받아 생성된 것이다. 다섯 번째 지역은 지리산 내의 뱀사골로 지리산 인근에 분포하는 대표적인 편마암인 반상변정질 편마암을 관찰할 수 있다. 변정이란 변성작용을 받는 동안 형성되는 것으로 변성작용을 받는 동안 생긴 것도 있으나 경우에 따라 생성당시 원래 모암속에 포함되어 있는 반정들도 있다.

Purpose: The objective of this systematic review was to obtain the comprehensive survival rates of short implants. Then it was examined that whether treatment using short implants has favorable results. Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed, the data obtained from many articles about length, diameter, site of placement, surface treatment and prosthetic design were analyzed. Results and discussion: The data obtained from many articles were analyzed, and it was found that the survival rate of short implants was 95.87%, short implants has similar outcomes to those reported for standard implants. On the other hand, in the comparison the survival rate of 3 groups divided by the diameter of implants under 4 mm, 4-5 mm, and above 5 mm, a statistically significant difference was detected in under 4mm group. In implant group with 6-7 mm length, a group with 5-6 mm diameter has survival rate of 97.01%, groups with 3.1-4.8 mm diameter has survival rate of 92.96%, which was statistically significantly different. In the result of surface feature, the roughed surface groups of short implant showed a higher survival rate by approximately 6.3% than machined surface group. In the result of prosthetic design, survival rate of short implant was considerably lower for the single implant crown group (94.3%) than splinting group (99.4%).

The seismic slope stability is most often evaluated by the pseudo-static limit analysis, in which the earthquake loading is simplified as static inertial loads acting in horizontal and/or vertical directions. The transient loading is represented by constant acceleration via the pseudostatic coefficients. The result of a pseudostatic analysis is governed by the selection of the value of the pseudostatic coefficient. However, selection of the value is very difficult and often done in an ad hoc manner without a sound physical reasoning. In addition, the maximum acceleration is commonly estimated from the design guideline, which cannot accurately estimate the dynamic response of a slope. There is a need to perform a 2D dynamic analysis to properly define the dynamic response characteristics. This paper develops a new hybrid pseudostatic method that links the modified one-dimensional seismic site response analysis and the pseudostatic algorithm. The modified site response analysis adjusts the density of the layers to simulate the change in mass and weight of the layers of the slope with depth. Multiple analyses were performed at various locations within the slope to estimate the change in seismic response of the slope. The calculated peak acceleration profiles with depth from the developed procedure were compared to those by the two-dimensional analyses. Comparisons show that the two methods result in remarkable match. The calculated profiles are used to perform pseudostatic analysis. The results show that use of peak or a fraction of acceleration at the surface can seriously underestimate or overestimate the factor of safety, and that the proposed procedure significantly enhances the reliability of a standard procedure.
