Objective : This study aim is to identify whether smooth pursuit eye movement(SPEM) using portable device can alleviate chronic hemispatial neglect. Methods : We applied smooth pursuit eye movement to one chronic hemispatial neglect patient. Experimental duration was total 4weeks - 1week baseline, 2weeks SPEM intervention, 1week 2nd. baseline. The intervention was 10 SPEM sessions (30min each, 1session daily, from Monday to Friday) over a period of 2weeks. The neglect test carried out 5 times a week. The SPEM was provided on the screen when patient sat in front of the screen(8.4 inch tablet pc, distance 40cm). The SPEM video that the 24 yellow squares moving coherently from the right to the left side. Patients were instructed to perform smooth pursuit eye movement without head and neck movement. Results : As a result of the SPEM for 2weeks, the degree of neglect tended to decrease compared to baseline A. The degree of the LBT tended to increase the at the baseline A'. In contrast, the SCT showed that tendency which the degree of the neglect maintained at the baseline A'. Conclusion : We identified that SPEM using portable device is effective intervention method for chronic hemispatial neglect.

As we recognize the health care, test of BMD is increased. There are various methods in BMD, Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) which has high precision and accuracy, and low medical exposure dose has been widely used. To measure the changes of BMD, the test must be done as same posture at first and follow up study performed a year. we analyze the difference in the hour taken before and after the examination by radiologic technologist, frequency of scout scan, and the amount of the radiation exposure. The hour of the examination and frequency of the scout scan were shorten and the dose of the radiation exposure is reduced. As the numerical value of total subjects is converted into that of one person, the duration for the test was 52 seconds, the frequency for the scout scan 0.79 time, and the dose for the radiation exposure $13{\mu}Sv$. When the health care provider perform the precise and easy methods to minimize changes of posture and the skillful ability to manage the test, useless radiation is decreased.

In this paper, a simulation test bed is presented which operates to provide full-scale simulation of airborne multi-function phased array radars. This simulation test bed provides a capability to evaluate the target tracking performance. To realize aircraft operation scenario, we developed 6DOF aircraft dynamics model which can generate trajectories and attitude of an aircraft. This procedure includes steady state flight trim search, autopilot design, and aircraft guidance command design. Also, the radar-environment integrated simulator includes target detection/measurement model and tracking filter. Developed simulator is validated by creating an air-to-air scenario.

Purpose: Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements need to be precise enough to be capable of detecting small changes in bone mass of rats. Using a regular dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), we measured many BMD of various skeletal sites in rats to examine precision of DXA in relation to the repositioning on the bones of rats. Materials and Methods: Using DXA and small animal software, scans were performed 4 times in all 12 male rats without repositioning (Group 1a). Another four scans for 6 of 12 rats were done with repositioning between scans (Group 2). Customized regions of interest (ROIs), encapsulate the right hind limb, L1-4, skull and pelvic bones were drawn at each measurement. The precision of the measurements was evaluated by measuring the coefficient of variation (CV) of four measurements of BMD at each skeletal site of all rats with or without repositioning. Significance of differences between group 1b (six rats out of group 1a, which were come under group 2) and group2 were evaluated with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test. Results: CVs obtained at different skeletal sites of all measurements in Group 1b and 2. It was $3.51{\pm}1.20$, $ 2.62{\pm}1.20$ for the hindlimb (p=0.173), $3.83{\pm}2.02$, $4.59{\pm}2.02$ for L1-4 (p=0.600), $3.73{\pm}1.87$, $1.53{\pm}0.89$ for skull (p=0.046), and $2.92{\pm}0.60$, $1.45{\pm}0.60$ for pelvic bones (p=0.075). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the DXA technique has the precision necessary when used to assess BMD for various skeletal sites in rats regardless of repositioning.

A solar power generator is usually installed outdoors and it is exposed to extreme environments such as heavy fall of snow and high speed wind. Therefore, the solar tracker structure should be designed to have sufficient static and dynamic stiffness against such environmental conditions. In this paper, eigenvalue analysis of the solar tracker is carried out by varying the pose of the solar panel and unsteady flow analysis around a single tracker or multi-trackers arranged in a line is performed by varying the parameters such as wind directions, wind speeds and the pose of the solar panel to evaluate whether there exists an instability of resonance due to vortex shedding. Finite element eigenvalue analysis shows that natural frequencies and modes are almost not influenced by the pose of the solar panel and the finite element flow analysis shows that there does not exist periodic vortex shedding due to the flow around single tracker or multiple solar trackers in a line.

Research on indoor location tracking technology using smartphone is actively being carried out. Especially, the movement distance of the smartphone should be accurately measured and the movement route of the user should be displayed on the map. Location tracking technology using sensors mounted on smart phones has been used for a long time, but accuracy is not good enough to measure the moving distance of the user using only the sensor. Therefore, when the user moves the smartphone in a certain posture, it must research and develop an appropriate algorithm to measure the distance accurately. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce moving distance estimation error by removing user 's foot shape by limiting the screen of smartphone in pyramid - based optical flow estimation method.

This paper suggests an efficient method which tracks articulated human body modeled with markov network using disparity map derived from stereo images. The conventional methods which only use color information to calculate likelihood for energy function tend to fail when background has same colors with objects or appearances of object are changed during the movement. In this paper, we present a method evaluating likelihood with both disparity information and color information to find human body parts. Since the human body part are cylinder projected to rectangles in 2D image plane, we use the properties of distribution of disparity of those rectangles that do not have discontinuous distribution. In addition to that we suggest a conditional-messages-update that is able to reduce unnecessary message update of belief propagation. Since the message update has comprised over 80% of the whole computation in belief propagation, the conditional-message-update yields 9~45% of improvements of computational time. Furthermore, we also propose an another speed up method called three dimensional dynamic models assumed the body motion is continuous. The experiment results show that the proposed method reduces the computational time as well as it increases tracking accuracy.

본 연구는 남강댐 유역($2,293km^2$)을 대상으로 이중편파 레이더 강우자료와 격자기반 분포형 강우-유출 모형인 KIMSTORM(KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model)을 이용하여 홍수추적을 수행하고, 침수실적자료와 비교하여 레이더 강우자료의 효용성을 검토하였다. 2012년 4개의 강우 이벤트(집중호우, 카눈, 볼라벤, 산바)에 대하여 한강홍수통제소로부터 보정된 비슬산 레이더 강우자료를 제공받아 사용하였다. 레이더 강우와 지점 강우를 비교하기 위해 면적평균강우량을 산정하여 분석한 결과, 유출량산정 지점별 면적평균 강우량은 대체적으로 레이더가 지점 강우보다 더 낮은 값으로 예측되었지만, 강우의 패턴은 상당히 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 평균 $R^2$는 0.97로 매우 우수하게 분석되었다. 이후 분포형 홍수추적을 위해 KIMSTORM을 이용하였으며, 격자크기 $500{\times}500m$ 해상도의 156행${\times}$137열의 총 21,372개의 셀로 모형을 구축하였다. 분포형 모형의 보정을 위해 지상강우를 적용하여 모형을 보정하고, 보정된 매개변수를 레이더강우에 그대로 적용하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 모형의 보정 결과, $R^2$(coefficient of determination), ME(model efficiency), VCI (volume conservation index)의 평균이 지점강우를 이용한 경우 각각 0.85, 0.78, 1.09%, 레이더 강우를 이용한 경우 각각 0.85, 0.78, 0.96으로 모의유량이 관측유량을 잘 재현하였다. 이후 태풍 산바에 의한 하천범람 침수실적자료의 침수지역(신연, 문대, 신기지구)과 레이더에 의한 침수지역 유출분석 결과를 비교하였다. 침수지역 호우 및 유출의 공간분포를 분석한 결과 레이더 강우가 침수지역 상류유역의 호우와 유출상황을 자세하게 재현하였으며, 침수지역의 침수기간 전 후를 분석한 결과 지점강우 보다 레이더 강우가 실제 첨두유량에 가깝게 우수하게 모의되었다.
