In this study, a real-time Tactical UAS position compensation system based on image information developed to compensate for the weakness of location navigation information during GPS signal interference and jamming / spoofing attack is described. The Tactical UAS (KUS-FT) is capable of automatic flight by switching the mode from GPS/INS integrated navigation to DR/AHRS when GPS signal is lost. However, in the case of location navigation, errors accumulate over time due to dead reckoning (DR) using airspeed and azimuth which causes problems such as UAS positioning and data link antenna tracking. To minimize the accumulation of position error, based on the target data of specific region through image sensor, we developed a system that calculates the position using the UAS attitude, EO/IR (Electric Optic/Infra-Red) azimuth and elevation and numerical map data and corrects the calculated position in real-time. In addition, function and performance of the image information based real-time UAS position compensation system has been verified by ground test using GPS simulator and flight test in DR mode.

To share an understanding of trajectory measurement in surveys using borehole, this tutorial summarizes the relevant mathematical principles of the borehole deviation survey based on coordinate transform. For uncased or open holes, calculations of the azimuth-deviation-tool face rotation using three-component accelerometer and magnetometer measurements are summarized. For the steel-cased holes, calculations are based on the time-derivative formula of the coordinate transform matrix; yaw-pitch-roll angles through time are mathematically determined by integrating the threecomponent angular velocity measurements from the gyroscope while also removing the Earth's rotation effect. Sensor and data fusion to increase the accuracy of borehole deviation survey is explained with an example of the method. These principles of borehole deviation surveys can be adapted for attitude estimation in air-borne surveys or for positioning in tunnels where global positioning system (GPS) signals cannot be accessed. Information on the optimization filter that must be incorporated in sensor fusion is introduced to help future research.

In this paper, we present a motion-driven rowing simulation framework that allows multiple players to row a boat together by their harmonized movements. In the actual rowing game, it is crucial for the players to synchronize their rowing with respect to time and pose so as to accelerate the boat. Inspired by this interesting feature, we measure the motion similarity among multiple players in real time while they are doing rowing motions and use it to control the velocity of the boat in a virtual environment. We also employ game components such as catching an item which can accelerate or decelerate the boat depending on its type for a moment once it has been obtained by synchronized catching behaviors of the players. By these components, the players can be encouraged to more actively participate in the training for a good teamwork to produce harmonized rowing movements Our methods for the motion recognition for rowing and item catch require the tracking data only for the head and the both hands and are fast enough to facilitate the real-time performance. In order to enhance immersiveness of the virtual environment, we project the rowing simulation result on a wide curved screen.

푸른 진주라 불리는 훕스굴호는 러시아 국경에 인접한 몽고 북부의 청정호수로 해발 약 1,645m 지점에 위치한다. 훕스굴호의 길이는 약 136km이고, 폭은 20-40km이며, 최대수심은 약 262m 이다. 이 호수의 물은 세계에서 가장 깨끗한 담수 중 하나로 몽고 지표수원의 약 70%를 공급하고 있다. 훕스굴호는 바이칼 열곡대내에 형성된 일종의 구조호로 약 240만년 내지 400만년전에 형성된 것으로 추정되고 있다. 훕스굴호는 자연공원으로 지정되어 보호되고 있으며, 따라서 호수의 유역은 다행스럽게도 인간활동에 오염되거나 교란되지 않아 다양하고 흥미로운 육상/수성 생물상을 보유하고 있으며, 퇴적물 기록 역시 후기 신생대 동안의 중앙아시아의 지구환경 및 기후변화 연구에 매우 적합하다. 바이칼 시추사업 (Baikal Drilling Project)은 신생대 후기 동안의 중앙아시아의 지구조진화 및 전지구적 기후변화를 규명하기 위해 미국, 러시아, 일본, 독일 등이 참여한 다국가 공동사업이다. 바이칼 시추사업 연구팀은 지난 15년간 많은 노력과 예산을 투자하여 바이칼 호로부터 총 1,600m에 이르는 방대한 양의 퇴적물 코아를 성공적으로 회수하였고, 이 시료를 이용하여 후기 신생대 동안의 중부 유라시아 대륙의 고기후/고환경 진화과정을 성공적으로 규명하였다. 바이칼 시추사업이 성공적으로 진행됨에 따라, 이 사업에 참여했던 러시아와 일본의 과학자들은 바이칼호의 서쪽에 위치한 몽고 북부의 훕스굴에도 많은 관심을 가지게 되었으며, 동시에 바이칼 시추사업의 후속사업으로 훕스굴 시추사업을 새롭게 추진하게 되었다. 한편, 대륙내부에서의 제4기 지구환경 및 기후 변화 과정에 많은 관심을 가지고 연구해 오던 한국지질자원연구원도 2003년에 정식 회원으로 훕스굴 시추사업에 합류하였다. 훕스굴 시추사업 연구팀은 몽고의 지질광물자원연구소 (대표연구기관), 러시아의 지구화학연구소, 일본의 나고야대학교 그리고 한국의 지질자원연구원 등 4개국의 연구기관으로 구성되어 있다. 이들 4개 연구기관은 시추획득 및 기초연구 수행에 필요한 연구비를 현금 혹은 현물 (장비 포함)의 형태로 공동부담하고 있으며, 따라서 획득한 시추코아에 대해서도 각 연구기관이 전 구간에 대해 동일하게 25%의 소유권을 가지고 있다. 훕스굴 시추사업은 2008년까지 수행될 계획이며, 시추작업은 2005년까지 완료될 계획이다. 연구 진행과 관련하여, 공동연구의 명분을 높이고 분석의 효율성을 높이기 위해서 시료채취 및 기초자료 획득은 4개국의 연구원이 모여 공동으로 수행한 후의 결과물을 서로 공유하고, 자세한 전문분야 연구는 각 국의 대표기관이 독립적으로 수행하는 방식을 택하였다. 훕스굴에 대한 제1차 시추작업은 2004년 3월 말에 실시하였다. 시추작업 결과, 약 80m의 시추 코아가 성공적으로 회수되어 현재 러시아 이르쿠츠크 지구화학연구소에 보관중이다. 이 시추코아는 2004년 8월 중순경에 4개국 연구팀원들에 의해 공동으로 기재된 후에 분할될 계획이다. 분할된 시료는 국내로 운반되어 다양한 전문분야별 연구에 이용될 것이다. 한편, 제2차 시추작업은 2004년 12월에서 2005년 2월 사이에 실시될 계획이다. 수백만년에 이르는 장기간에 걸쳐 지구환경변화 기록이 보존되어 있는 훕스굴호에 대한 시추사업은 후기 신생대 동안 유라시아 대륙 중부에서 일어난 지구환경 및 기후변화를 이해함과 동시에 이러한 변화가 육상생태계 및 지표지질환경에 미친 영향을 이해하는데 크게 기여할 것이다.

Purpose : Cerebral palsies are the most common and severe motor disabilities in childhood. There is currently increased interest in their occurrence and patterns of likely cause for a variety of reasons. Therefore, a retrospective study was carried out to understand the clinical features of cerebral palsy. Methods : A retrospective chart review was conducted of all children with cerebral palsy who were diagnosed at St. Benedict Hospital between March 1999 and March 2001. Results : Cerebral palsy patients were classified into 6 major groups. Of six groups, spastic diplegia is the most common type of cerebral palsy(55.3%). The risk factors of cerebral palsy were placenta previa(1 case), placenta abruption(1 case), cytomegalovirus infection(1 case), prematurity (53 cases), neonatal asphyxia(12 cases), dystocia(2 cases), breech delivery(1 case), multiple birth(5 cases), head trauma(3 cases), meningitis(2 cases) and unknown(26 cases). Among the 59 in the preterm group, 37 patients showed MR or CT images of periventricular leukomalacia. Among the 44 in the term group, 15 patients showed MR or CT images of atrophy. Among 103 patients, 29 patients(28.2%) had a seizure disorder. Conclusion : It is very importent to understand the clinical features and risk factors of cerebral palsy for physicians to diagnose and manage cerebral palsy patient.

Background: Recently thoracoscopic surgery is widely applied in thoracic surgical field and hyperhidrosis is one of the most frequently operated diseases. Material and Method: From June 1997 to February 1998, 30 patients with hyperhidrosis underwent bilateral thoracic sympathectomy under thoracoscopy at Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital. There were 10 males and 20 females whose mean age was 22.42±6.84 years ranging from 17 to 51. All patients underwent bilateral thoracic sympathectomy under semi-sitting position and two 5 mm sized trocars were inserted. Result: Mean operation time was 52.32±11.72 minutes and the mean elevation of palmar temperature after sympathectomy was 2.17±0.47℃. Eighteen patients(60%) complained compensatory hyperhidrosis. All patients except one were able to discharge at the operation day or postoperative one day. There were no recurrence during follow up from 2 to 8 months(mean 5.30±2.17 months). Conclusion: Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is simple and effective technique in hyperhidrosis and widely applied indication will be necessary. We conclude that further discussion should be made about the resection area and method to get maximal effect and minimal side effect.

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a highly prevalent comorbidity in patients with heart failure and may present in 25 to 40 percent of heart failure patients. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary therapeutic option and effective in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In heart failure patients with CSA, several trials of CPAP showed a number of positive effects in heart failure treatment. A 58-year-old male visited the hospital because of dyspnea and he was diagnosed as heart failure with ischemic heart disease. He underwent coronary angiography and received percutaneous coronary intervention due to stenosis at the middle of left anterior descending coronary artery. However, dyspnea was not completely improved after treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention. The patient also experienced snoring and sleep apnea which worsened with symptom of dyspnea in the recent year. We suspected CSA and the patient underwent polysomnography to confirm whether sleep apnea was present. During the polysomnography, CSA with Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) was observed and apnea-hypopnea index was 45.9/hr. The patient was treated with CPAP. After CPAP treatment, hypoxemia and CSA were resolved and dyspnea was improved with reducing NYHA class. We report a case successfully treated with clinical improvement by presuming CSA in a patient with heart failure.

'Gesture' is the most intuitive means of communication except the voice. Therefore, there are many researches for method that controls computer using gesture input to replace the keyboard or mouse. In these researches, the method of user detection and main body parts estimation is one of the very important process. in this paper, we propose user objects detection and main body parts estimation method on inaccurate depth information for pose estimation. we present user detection method using 2D and 3D depth information, so this method robust to changes in lighting and noise and 2D signal processing 1D signals, so mainly suitable for real-time and using the previous object information, so more accurate and robust. Also, we present main body parts estimation method using 2D contour information, 3D depth information, and tracking. The result of an experiment, proposed user detection method is more robust than only using 2D information method and exactly detect object on inaccurate depth information. Also, proposed main body parts estimation method overcome the disadvantage that can't detect main body parts in occlusion area only using 2D contour information and sensitive to changes in illumination or environment using color information.

Purpose : It is important to take a precise history of patients to diagnose enuresis. However, this is difficult to perform in the outpatient department, because the consultation time is limited. So by taking the medical histories with questionnaires, we classified the enuresis patients into monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic groups and compared the clinical characteristics between the two groups in order to determine whether this would aid in the diagnosis and treatment of enuresis. Methods : Thirty-four enuresis patients seen in the Department of Pediatrics at Yeungnam University Hospital from 2004 January to 2005 July were enrolled in this study. Two to three weeks before starting medical treatment, questionnaires about the patients' urination habits and past medical history were taken from the Parents with consents. Results : There were 21 patients in the monosymptomatic group and 13 patients in the non-monosymptomatic group. There was no difference in the delivery mode, birth weight, birth order, sleep habit, constipation, and treatment results between the two groups. Urinary infection was more frequently observed in the non-monosymptomatic group. There was a higher incidence of daytime incontinence and a past medical history of allergy in the non-monosymptomatic group. Oriental medicine was the most common treatment of enuresis before visiting the hospital, but the treatment effect was minimal. Conclusion : Comparison between the monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic group with the questionnaires was helpful for detailed diagnosis and treatment of enuresis. A more effective education for enuresis patients is needed, since before visiting the hospital many of them wasted their efforts with ineffective oriental medicine treatment.

The one-year-follow-up test of abdomen/pelvis from 10 patients who were scanned more than twice a years were analyzed the radiation dose and image quality depend on the position of the arm retrospectively from January to December in 2013. There were classified two groups, group A was examined with raising an arm on standard position and group B was performed with lowering an arm, respectively. Group A of an average mAs from the first dose amount was shown 11.4% less compared to Group B. And the value of CTDI from Group B also was investigated 11.3% less. To compare the quality comparison of the second image as histogram value, the value of max from both of two groups was measured similarly. However, a big difference was shown from the value of min and SD, the short dose was appeared depends on the position of arm even though Group A was radiated more than Group B. Less exposure to the medical image quality only by working CT scan when the examiner actively raise the arm before the development and testing of high-end equipment introduction of complex algorithms for obtaining an optimized image will be provided to the patient.
