The purpose of this study is to find the optimal method for clinical application by analyzing image quality and radiation output according to parameter combination when using the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC). The experimental method combines 70, 81 kVp with sensitivity S200, S400, S800 and S1000 of the Automatic Exposure Control for Entrance Surface Dose (ESD), current volume, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR), Time-to-Radiation Dose Curve in abdomen and pelvis. And then, image quality and radiation output stability were evaluated. As a results, Entrance Surface Dose, current volume, Signal to Noise Ratio, Contrast to Noise Ratio decreased as the tube voltage and sensitivity were set higher. In addition, the higher tube voltage and sensitivity, the Time-to-Radiation Dose Curve showed a poor output stability. In conclusion, the higher the combination of tube voltage and sensitivity in the use of Automatic Exposure Control, the more problems can be seen in image quality and stability of the radiation output. Therefore, a relatively low combination of tube voltage and sensitivity showed that the image quality and radiation output stability could be optimized by minimizing the error range that would occur when the detector recognized a combination of parameters.

Time synchronization algorithm in wireless sensor networks is essential to various applications such as object tracking, data encryption, duplicate detection, and precise TDMA scheduling. This paper describes CDRS that is a time synchronization algorithm using the Clock Drift rate and Reference Signals between two sensor nodes. CDRS is composed of two steps. At first step, the time correction is calculated using offset and the clock drift rate between the two nodes based on the LTS method. Two nodes become a synchronized state and the time variance can be compensated by the clock drift rate. At second step, the synchronization node transmits reference signals periodically. This reference signals are used to calculate the time difference between nodes. When this value exceeds the maximum error tolerance, the first step is performed again for resynchronization. The simulation results on the performance analysis show that the time accuracy of the proposed algorithm is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced 2.5 times compared to the time synchronization algorithm with only LTS, because CDRS reduces the number of message about 50% compared to LTS and reference signals do not use the data space for timestamp.

In this paper, we designed 1 chip IC for 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer used for various IoT/M2M mobile devices such as smartphone, wearable device and etc. We especially focused on analysis of gyroscope noise and proposed new architecture for removing various noise generated by gyroscope MEMS and IC. Gyroscope, accelerometer and geo-magnetic sensors are usually used to detect user motion or to estimate moving distance, direction and relative position. It is very important element to designing a low noise IC because very small amount of noise may be accumulated and affect the estimated position or direction. We made a mathematical model of a gyroscope sensor, analyzed the frequency characteristics of MEMS and circuit, designed a low noise, compact and low power 1 chip 6-axis inertial sensor IC including 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. As a result, designed IC has 0.01dps/${\sqrt{Hz}}$ of gyroscope sensor noise density.

국내에서 새로운 댐 저수지 건설을 통한 수자원의 안정적인 확보는 어려운 여건에 있다. 따라서 수자원의 효율적인 확보, 댐 하류하천의 수질 개선, 신규댐 건설 대체 효과를 기대하기 위해 기존 댐 저수지의 연계운영이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 댐 저수지 수체를 연계하여 모델을 통해 해석하고자 안동-임하호를 연결한 2차원 모델(CE-QUAL-W2)을 구축하고, 2002년과 2006년 수문사상을 재현하였으며, 수리해석을 실시하였다. 안동호의 좌안인 임동면 마리와 임하호의 우안인 망천리를 연결하고, EL. 140 m 위치에 길이 2 km, 직경 5.5 m로 콘크리트 터널을 연결하는 것으로 가정하였다. 관내 바닥 마찰계수와 미소 마찰손실 값은 0.05를 입력하였다. 저수지 실측수위와 모의수위를 시계열로 비교한 결과, 2002년과 2006년 안동호와 임하호에서 여름철 유입량 증가에 따른 수위 상승을 잘 반영하였고, 결정계수값($R^2$)이 모두 0.9953 이상으로 나타나 모델은 두 저수지 물수지 계산에 있어서 높은 신뢰도를 보였다. 2006년을 대상으로 안동호와 임하호의 댐 앞에서 수심별 수온의 실측값과 모의값을 비교한 결과, 안동호는 4월부터 성층이 진행되어 5월에 수온약층이 EL. 130 m에 형성되었다. 7월 홍수가 중층 밀도류를 형성하여 수온 성층구조를 교란하였고, 기존의 수온약층이 EL. 120 m 로 하강하였으며, 표층 EL. 145 m에 새로운 수온약층이 형성되는 2단 성층 구조를 보였다. 여름철 동안 이러한 현상은 지속되었고, 10월부터 대기기온 강하와 함께 수직혼합이 시작되었다. 수온예측 오차는 AME $0.336{\sim}1.806^{\circ}C$, RMSE $0.415{\sim}2.271^{\circ}C$의 범위로 실측값을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 임하호도 안동호와 유사한 경향을 보였고, 모델은 두 저수지에서 전 기간에 걸쳐 모두 안정적으로 저수지 수온 성층현상을 모의하였다. 2002년 수문사상에서 안동-임하 연계 운영시 안동호의 평균 수위는 1.38 m 상승하였고, 임하호는 3.75 m 낮아지는 것으로 모의되었다. 수위변동에 따른 유동 유량은 임하호에서 안동호로 3억 6천 4백만 톤, 안동호에서 임하호로 2억 9천 1백만 톤으로 임하호에서 안동호로 유동한 유량이 높게 나타났다. 유역면적에 비해 저수용량이 작은 임하호의 경우 두 저수지간 유량의 이동에 따라서 저수용량의 증가로 인한 홍수 저감 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 반면, 안동-임하 연계 운영시 임하호의 차가운 물이 안동호로 유입되는 경우, 안동호의 수온 성층구조에 영향을 주었다. 안동호의 경우는 단독운영시보다 높은 위치에 수온약층(EL. 140 m)이 형성되었으며, 임하호는 반대로 저수위가 낮아지면서 단독운영시보다 수온약층의 위치가 약간 낮아졌다. 이러한 결과는 두 저수지 연결시 안동호의 탁수와 수질 환경에 변화가 있을 수 있음을 시사한다.

The feature extraction using remotely sensed imagery has been recognized one of the important tasks in remote sensing applications. As the high-resolution imagery are widely used to the engineering purposes, need of more accurate feature information also is increasing. Especially, in case of the automatic extraction of linear feature such as road using mid or low-resolution imagery, several techniques was developed and applied in the mean time. But quantitatively comparative analysis of techniques and case studies for high-resolution imagery is rare. In this study, we implemented a computer program to perform and compare GDPA (Gradient Direction Profile Analysis) algorithm and Hough transformation. Also the results of applying two techniques to some images were compared with road centerline layers and boundary layers of digital map and presented. For quantitative comparison, the ranking method using commission error and omission error was used. As results, Hough transform had high accuracy over 20% on the average. As for execution speed, GDPA shows main advantage over Hough transform. But the accuracy was not remarkable difference between GDPA and Hough transform, when the noise removal was app]ied to the result of GDPA. In conclusion, it is expected that GDPA have more advantage than Hough transform in the application side.

This study intended to assess the reliability of topographic data using satellite imaging data. The topographical data using actual instrumentation data and satellite image data were established and applied to the rainfall-leak model, S-RAT, and the topographical data and outflow data were compared and analyzed. The actual measurement data were collected from the Water Resources Management Information System (WAMIS), and satellite image data were collected from MODIS observation sensors mounted on Terra satellites. The areas subject to analysis were selected for two rivers with more than 80% mountainous areas in the Han River basin and one river basin with more than 7% urban areas. According to the analysis, the difference between instrumentation data and satellite image data was up to 50% for peak floods and up to 17% for flood totals in rivers with high mountains, but up to 13% for peak floods and up to 4% for flood totals. The biggest difference in the video data is Landuse, which shows that MODIS satellite images tend to be recognized as cities up to 60% or more in urban streams compared to WAMIS instrumentation data, but MODIS satellite images are found to be less than 5% error in forest areas.

Recently, We are carrying out a policy of physical distancing of at least 1m from each other to prevent the spreading of COVID-19 disease in public places. In this paper, we propose a method for measuring distances between people in real time and an automation system that recognizes objects that are within 1 meter of each other from stereo images acquired by drones or CCTVs according to the estimated distance. A problem with existing methods used to estimate distances between multiple objects is that they do not obtain three-dimensional information of objects using only one CCTV. his is because three-dimensional information is necessary to measure distances between people when they are right next to each other or overlap in two dimensional image. Furthermore, they use only the Bounding Box information to obtain the exact coordinates of human existence. Therefore, in this paper, to obtain the exact two-dimensional coordinate value in which a person exists, we extract a person's key point to detect the location, convert it to a three-dimensional coordinate value using Stereo Vision and Camera Calibration, and estimate the Euclidean distance between people. As a result of performing an experiment for estimating the accuracy of 3D coordinates and the distance between objects (persons), the average error within 0.098m was shown in the estimation of the distance between multiple people within 1m.

This study analyzed the current use of science-related test tools in affective area in Korean academic journals for the last 30 years since 1989 and the cases of modification of the original tools related to the tools. This provides practical information on the development and improvement of test tools in the future and offers the basis for developing valid test tools. The study was conducted in two stages. We analyzed the status of 88 domestic science education researches dealing with testing tools related affective characteristics and 57 domestic and foreign resource tools referenced by them. After that, we compared the characteristics of the five cases in which the original tool was revised and the concrete item correction examples. The results were analyzed as follows: topics that have emerged continuously or that have recently begun to appear in domestic research, the research situations according to their purpose and measurement methods used by the tool, and use state of original tools. The background and key points of revision were analyzed for the five tools, TOSRA, SAI, PISA items, STEBI-A/B, SMQ, whose revision process were disclosed. In addition, the changes of the items were analyzed by comparing the four test items with the questions before and after the revision. As a result of item analysis, item improvement was proceeding in the direction of enhancing readability, clarifying meaning, and changing items according to change of sub constructs. The implications of this study are as follows: notes on interpreting the results obtained from the tool with multiple mixed constructs, the possibility of the testing tool that broadens the horizon of the research, error recognition in the subjective self-report, and notes when applying test tools from other disciplines to science.

Bubble size in froth flotation has long been recognized as a key factor which affects the bubble residence time, the bubble surface area flux (Sb) and the carrying rate (Cr). This paper presents method of bubble size measurement, relationship between operating variables and gas dispersion properties in flotation column. Using high speed camera and image analysis system, bubble size has been directly measured as a function of operating parameters (e.g., superficial gas rate (Jg), superficial wash water rate (Jw), frother concentration) in flotation column. Relationship compared to measured and estimated bubble size was obtained within error ranges of ±15~20% and mean bubble size was 0.718mm. From this system the empirical relationship to control the bubble size and distribution has been developed under operating conditions such as Jg of 0.65~1.3cm/s, Jw of 0.13~0.52cm/s and frother concentration of 60~200ppm. Surface tension and bubble size decreased as frother concentration increased. It seemed that critical coalescence concentration (CCC) of bubbles was 200ppm so that surface tension was the lowest (49.24mN/m) at frother concentration of 200ppm. Bubble size tend to increase when superficial gas rate (Jg) decreases and superficial wash water rate Jw and frother concentration increase. Gas holdup is proportional to superficial gas rate as well as frother concentration and superficial wash water rate (at the fixed superficial gas rate).
