Backscatter signal observed from the space-borne Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) system is providing unique 3-dimensional spatial distribution as well as temporal variations for atmospheric aerosols. In this study, the continuous observations for aerosol profiles were analyzed during a years of 2012 by using a Cloud-Aerosol LIDAR with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP), carried on the Cloud-Aerosol LIDAR and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite. The statistical analysis on the particulate extinction coefficient and depolarization ratio for each altitude was conducted according to time and space in order to estimate the variation of optical properties of aerosols over Northeast Asia ($E110^{\circ}-140^{\circ}$, $N20^{\circ}$ $-50^{\circ}$). The most frequent altitudes of aerosols are clearly identified and seasonal mean aerosol profiles vary with season. Since relatively high particle depolarization ratios (>0.5) are found during all seasons, it is considered that the non-spherical aerosols mixed with pollution are mainly exists over study area. This study forms initial regional 3-dimensional aerosol information, which will be extended and improved over time for estimation of aerosol climatology and event cases.

최근 이미지분석 기술은 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 기술의 급격한 발전으로 인해 의학, 생물학, 지리학, 재료공학 등에서 수많은 연구 분야에서 광범위하게 활용되고 있으며, 이미지분석은 다량의 토사에 대하여 입경을 포함한 형상학적 특성을 간편하게 정량화 할 수 있기 때문에 매우 효과적인 분석 방법으로 판단된다. 현재 모래의 입도분석 방법으로는 신뢰성 있는 체가름 시험법(KSF2302) 등이 있으나, 번거로운 처리과정과 많은 시간이 소요된다. 또한 입자형상은 입경이 세립 할수록 직접 측정이 어렵기 때문에, 최근에는 이미지 분석을 이용하는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 75㎛ 이상의 조립질 하상 토사 이미지를 취득하여, 입자들의 장·축단 길이, 면적, 둘레, 공칭직경 및 종횡비 등의 형상학적 특성인자를 자동으로 측정하는 프로그램 개발을 수행하였다. 프로그램은 이미지 분석에 특화된 라이브러리인 OpenCV(Open Source Computer Vision)를 적용하였다. 이미지 분석 절차는 크게 이미지 취득, 기하보정, 노이즈제거, 객체추출 및 형상인자 측정 단계로 구성되며, 이미지 취득시 패널의 하단에 Back light를 부착해 시료에 의해 발생되는 음영을 제거하였다. 기하보정은 원근변환(perspective transform)을 적용했으며, 노이즈 제거는 모폴로지 연산과 입자간의 중첩으로 인한 뭉침을 제거하기 위해 watershed 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 최종적으로 객체의 외곽선 추출하여 입자들의 다양한 정보(장축, 단축, 둘레, 면적, 공칭직경, 종횡비)를 산출하고, 분포형으로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 이미지분석을 적용한 토사의 형상학적 특성 측정 방법은 시간과 비용의 측면에서 보다 효율적으로 하상 토사에 대한 다양한 정보를 획득 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we present a particle-grid blending framework based on a geometric approach to efficiently represent opaque ice spheres with air bubbles. The water temperature is diffused through the grid and the air bubbles represented inside the ice through the particles. To solve the problem of previous methods that generate noisy dissolved air fields, we use levelsets to lighten the algorithm, i.e., the number of active particles and the initial amount of dissolved oxygen can be used to efficiently control the termination conditions of heat diffusion. We also extend the previous dissolved air field method, which only computes near air bubbles, to transparent regions to represent realistic ice spheres, and introduce a levelset-based approach to accurately compute the orientation of particles. As a result, the method presented in this paper is about three times faster than the existing methods and shows visually improved visualization of opaque ice spheres, which can be used in the field of representing physical virtual ice forms.

In this paper, effect of ceramic processing was investigated on the magnetic properties of low loss Mn-Zn ferrite. High frequency characteristics, high saturated magnetic flux density and high magnetic permeability and low magnetism loss are required for the development of Mn-Zn ferrite, which is parts in the communication. therefore, in order to improve Mn-Zn ferrite with a high frequency , it is important to have a minimal change of particles and to control the eddy current loss caused by high resistance of the stratum of particles and to reduce the hysteresis loss by uniform change of detailed structure. In this paper, we added $V_2O_5\;and\;CaCo_3$ to Mn-Zn Ferrite to achieve a high efficiency, low loss core material. The compositions are MnO : ZnO : $Fe_2O_3$ = 21 : 10 : 69 mol%. They were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for Three hours. Initial permeability was measured at 0.1MHz. At 50mT, Power loss was measured by temperature changing at 100kHz.

In this paper, we introduce a new scanning method for MPEG-4 AVC based Fine Granular Scalable video coding that can significantly improve the subjective picture quality of a decoded scalable video. The proposed scanning method can guarantee the subjectively improved picture qualify of the decoded scalable video by encoding, transmitting and decoding the visually important region most-preferentially. From the simulation results, it has been found that the proposed scanning method can lead the FGS method to achieve significantly improved picture quality, especially on the region of interests.

In this paper, we develop Linguistic Model (LM) based on information granules as a systematic approach to generating fuzzy if-then rules from a given input-output data. The LM introduced by Pedrycz is performed by fuzzy information granulation obtained from Context-based Fuzzy Clustering(CFC). This clustering estimates clusters by preserving the homogeneity of the clustered patterns associated with the input and output data. Although the effectiveness of LM has been demonstrated in the previous works, it needs to improve in the sense of performance. Therefore, we focus on the automatic generation of linguistic contexts, addition of bias term, and the transformed form of consequent parameter to improve both approximation and generalization capability of the conventional LM. The experimental results revealed that the improved LM yielded a better performance in comparison with LM and the conventional works for automobile MPG(miles per gallon) predication and Boston housing data.

High-resolution images of surfaces provide detailed information on pores or shapes with specific sizes ranging from nano sizes to micrometers. However, it is not yet clear to determine an efficient association for pores or shapes from high-resolution images of surfaces. For the efficient association of pores and shapes, the surface characteristics of the device were considered as fractal dimensions by taking SEM photographs and binarizing the images. The fractal program was directly coded for surface analysis of the device. The device surface characteristics and electrical characteristics are thought to be related to the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension decreased with an increase in internal pores. The density and grain boundary of particles, which are structural characteristics of the device surface, were related to the fractal dimension. The particle size decreased with an increase in the fractal dimension and was uniformly formed. When the particles were uniformly formed, fewer pores were present and the fractal dimension increased.

공기이온에 관한 연구는 많은 분야의 연구원 참여에 의해 폭넓게 알려져, 반세기에 이르는 번영의 역사를 쌓아 왔지만, 불가사의하게도 현재, 가장 중요한 적용분야인 보건 분야에서 위기를 맞고 있다. 20세기 초, 대기 중에 전하를 띤 입자의 존재가 관찰된 이래, 공기 이온의 성질을 문제로 한 기초적 연구가, 간단한 공기이온계측기 보급과 함께, 물리학자, 생물학자, 의학자의 협력 하에 1930년대 이후 활발히 이루어져, 공기이온의 위생적ㆍ치료적 가치에 대한 풍부한 정보를 얻을 수 있게 되었다. 어찌되었든 이온화환 공기 속에서는 생활할 수 없는 것이 확실해져, 어떤 농도의 공기이온은 사람 및 동물의 생체에 유익한 작용을 하고, 대용량 공기이온은 치료에 적용가능하지만, 농도의 여하에 관계없이, 양이온이 음이온에 비해 2~3배 우세하면, 신체의 상태를 악화시켜며, 또한 공조설비와 필터류는 모두 이온화작용을 나타내는 것도 밝혀졌다. 청정한 공기를 이온화하는 것은 산소, 탄산가스, 약용물질분자를 활성화시키지만, 오염된 공기의 이온화는 유독한 불순물의 독성을 증가시키는 점도 지적되었다.

Conventional visualization of PM (Particulate Matter)10 flows applies superimposition of concentration distribution maps and wind field maps. This method is efficient for small scale maps where only macro flow trends are of interest. However, in the case of urban areas, local flows are difficult to model at micro level using wind fields, and therefore different methods of flow extraction is deemed necessary. In this study, flow information is extracted and visualized directly from the PM10 density data by using the gravity model. This method has the advantage that additional information such as wind field is not necessary for estimating the intensity and direction of PM10 flow. The extracted spatio-temporal flow patterns of PM10 are analyzed with relation to traffic information.

Currently, the problem of pollution of the marine environment by microplastics is emerging seriously internationally. In this study, to develop a lightweight portable microplastic collection device, the types and number of microplastics in 21 coastal areas nationwide in Korea were investigated. And CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer) and aluminum were applied for design and analysis of microplastic collection device to have the durability, corrosion resistance and lightweight. As a result of sample collection and classification from the shore, it was confirmed that microplastics were distributed the most in Hamdeok beach, and the polystyrene was found to be mainly distributed microplastics. Particle information through coastal field survey and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis were used to analyze the flow rate and distribution of particles such as sand and impurities, which were applied to the structural analysis of the cyclone device using the finite element method. As a result of structural analysis considering the particle impact inside the cyclone device, the structural safety was examined as remarkable in the order of CFRP, GFRP, aluminum, and ABS. In the view of weight reduction, CFRP could be reduced in weight by 53%, GFRP by 47%, and ABS by 61% compared to aluminum for the cyclone device.
