목적 : 심초음파는 비침습적이므로 반복적으로 정확히 심질환의 경과를 관찰하여 치료효과 및 수술시기를 정할 수 있는 검사로서 임상적으로 매우 유용하다. 실시간 심근조영심초음파에 의한 time intensity 평가는 부위별로 수행됨으로 연속적으로 위치하는 관심영역이 intensity에 있어 심장의 움직임 변화에 영향을 받는다. Time intensity 곡선의 최적의 곡선맞춤을 위해 주기적인 심장 운동 매개변수를 조합해 기존의 모델을 보정한 안정적인 측정방법을 제시한다. 방법 : 심장의 운동에 의한 특징적인 정보를 설명하기 위해 기존의 문헌에 제시된 지수 함수에 주어진 심박수로 만들어진 시간에 관한 일반적인 정형파 함수를 추가한다. C(t) = A[1 - exp($\beta$t)] + Dsine(2$\pi$ft + $\theta$) C(t): videointensity A: plateau videointensity (blood volume) $\beta$: capillary blood velocity (rate constant of rise in videointensity) t: pulsing interval (ms) D: displacement from the periodic variance of the curve (estimated motion field from the ejection point for the ratio between systole and diastole) f: heart rate $\theta$: transit time issue A $\times$ $\beta$ : myocardial blood flow 관상동맥의 관류 데이터에 대한 실험이 펄스간격에 대한 비디오 세기로 수행되었다. 그리고 이러한 결과들이 the sum of squares due to error, R square, root mean squared error로 평가되었다. 결과 : 실험결과, 주기적인 심장의 움직임과 심박출 시점으로부터의 변위를 잘 기술하고 곡선에서의 측정 점들이 예측된 심장 움직임에 따라 성공적으로 표시되었다. 뿐만 아니라 보정된 모델이 현저한 적합도의 향상을 보여주었다. 결론 : 제시된 접근방법은 각각의 측정에서 심장 운동 영역의 변화에 독립적이며 측정 시점에 의해 영향받지 않고 심근 관류의 안정적인 측정이 가능하다. 심장의 움직임에 관한 매개변수를 조합한 모델로 곡선접합을 수행함으로써 관류의 정량적 정보를 좀더 정확하게 얻을 수 있으며 임상적 이용을 가능하게 할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a robust 3D model hashing dependent on key and parameter by using heat kernel signature (HKS), which is special shape feature descriptor, In the proposed hashing, we calculate HKS coefficients of local and global time scales from eigenvalue and eigenvector of Mesh Laplace operator and cluster pairs of HKS coefficients to 2D square cells and calculate feature coefficients by the distance weights of pairs of HKS coefficients on each cell. Then we generate the binary hash through binarizing the intermediate hash that is the combination of the feature coefficients and the random coefficients. In our experiment, we evaluated the robustness against geometrical and topological attacks and the uniqueness of key and model and also evaluated the model space by estimating the attack intensity that can authenticate 3D model. Experimental results verified that the proposed scheme has more the improved performance than the conventional hashing on the robustness, uniqueness, model space.

In this study we developed artificial network generation model, which can generate on-line social network. The suggested model can represent not only scale-free and small-world properties, but also can produce networks with various values of topological characteristics through controlling two input parameters. For this purpose, two parameter K and P are introduced, K for controlling the strength of preferential attachment and P for controlling clustering coefficient. It is found out on-line social network can be generated with the combinations of K(0~10) and P(0.3~0.5) or K=0 and P=0.9. Under these combinations of P and K small-world and scale-free properties are well represented. Node degree distribution follows power-law. Clustering coefficients are between 0.130 and 0.238, and average shortest path distance between 5.641 and 5.985. It is also found that on-line social network properties are maintained as network node size increases from 5,000 to 10,000.

Skin is exposed to sunlight or artificial indoor light on a daily. The reached solar light on the earth surface consist of 50% visible light and 45% infrared (IR) except for ultra violet (UV). The negative effects of UV including UVB and UVA have been steadily investigated within the last decades. However, little is known about the effects of visible or IR light. In this study, we irradiated human dermal fibroblasts using light emitting diode (LED) to investigate the optimal parameter for enhancing cell growth and collagen synthesis. We found that red of 630 nm and green of 520 nm enhance the cell proliferation, but irradiation with purple and blue light exerts toxic effects. To examine the response of irradiation time and light intensity on the fibroblasts, cells were exposed to red or green light with intensities from 0.05 to $0.75mW/cm^2$. Procollagen secretion was increased of 1.4 fold by 10 min irradiation, while 30 min treatment decreased the collagen synthesis of dermal fibroblasts. Treatment with red of $0.3mW/cm^2$ and green of 0.15 and $0.3mW/cm^2$ resulted in enhancement of collagen mRNA. Lastly, we investigated the combinatorial effect of red and green light on dermal fibroblasts. The sequential irradiation of red and green light is an efficient way for the purpose of the increase in the number of fibroblasts than single light treatment. On the other hand, the exposure of red light alone was more effective method for enhancing of collagen secretion. Our study showed that specific light parameters accelerated cell proliferation, gene expression and collagen secretion on human dermal fibroblasts. In conclusion, we demonstrate that light exposure with specific parameter has beneficial effects on the function of dermal fibroblasts, and suggests the possibility of its cosmetically and clinical application.

Purpose: When it is difficult to secure the skin dose when treating Irregularly Shaped Skin Surface such as the nose where it is difficult to apply a bolus, increase the skin dose with a treatment plan that combines the IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) delivery technique and FFF (Flattening Filter Free), It was tried to find out whether or not through the phantom experiment. Materials & Methods: Based on the 6MV-FF (Flattening Filter) and VMAT (Volumetric-Modulated Arc Therapy) treatment plans, which are the most commonly used treatment plans for head and neck cancer, A comparison group was created by combining VMAT and IMRT, FF and FFF, and the presence or absence of 5 mm bolus application. A virtual target was created on the Rando Phantom's nose, and a virtual bolus of 5 mm was applied assuming full contact on the Rando Phantom's nose. Five measurement points were determined based on the phantom's nose, and the absorbed dose was measured by irradiating each treatment plan 3 times per treatment plan according to the treatment technique and whether or not the bolus was applied. Result: The difference in skin dose in FF vs FFF increased in the case of FFF in VMAT bolus off, and there was no difference in case of IMRT bolus off. In VMAT bolus 5 mm and IMRT bolus 5 mm, it was confirmed that the skin dose was rather decreased in FFF. The difference in skin dose between VMAT and IMRT increased only in the case of FFF bolus off, and there was no statistical difference in the rest. For the difference in skin dose between bolus off vs bolus 5 mm, it was confirmed that the skin dose increased at bolus 5 mm, except for the case of using IMRT FFF. The treatment plan combining IMRT and FFF did not find any statistically significant difference as a result of analyzing the measured values of the treatment plan skin dose applied with a 5 mm bolus using the commonly used VMAT and FF. Therefore, it is thought that by using IMRT_FFF, it is possible to deliver a skin dose similar to that of applying a 5 mm bolus to VMAT_FF, which can be useful for patients who need a high skin dose but have difficulty applying a bolus. Conclusion: For patients who find it difficult to apply bolus, an increase in skin dose can be expected with a treatment plan that properly combines IMRT and FFF compared to VMAT and FF.

A wooden coffin has been given academic attention in Kaya(伽倻), due to the place the stage of Samhan society appropriately in the development of ancient korea history. Special attention must be paid on Dohang-Ri(道項里) woden coffin, since it is expected to explain the origin of Arakaya(阿羅伽倻) in the region of southen korea peninsula. Dohang-Ri wooden coffin is become generally knowen two types, and complete its unique feature in Chin-Han(辰韓) and Byun-Han(弁韓). Recently the fact that Dohang-Ri wooden coffin is discovered only in the king tombs of Chang Won Daho-Ri(昌原茶戶里) and it is remarkable of political connection between Kuya-Kuk (狗邪國) and Anya-Kuk(安邪國). Various ironware unearth of Dohang-Ri has seen similar to that from Daho-Ri, but it has not bronze mirror be maid Chines, symbol with dignity of social position in the ruling ciass. It seems that political unit of Daho-Ri is advanced sociaity and central force than Dohang-Ri in the Byun-Han. The later of two century, I have a think about wooden coffin changes the wooden chamble of Dohang-Ri and Daho-Ri that it go out of sight at AD.2 century. Becouse of possitive achaelogical sites has not confirm, it request radical interpretaion. I inference to accordingly to the it appearance connected of the wars between the eight country of southen regins in korea peninsula at the first half of AD.3 cencury. Exactly, the politial units of Dohang-Ri and Daho-Ri has concentration of trade in Racdong river(洛東江) and Nam river(南江) water system and that give form to coexistence system of economic and political mutuality.

Owing to climate change, the annual precipitation in Korea has increased since the 20th century, and it is projected to continue increasing in the future. This trend of increasing precipitation will raise the possibility of floods; hence, it is necessary to establish national adaptation plans for floods, based on a reasonable flood risk assessment. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a framework that can assess the flood risk across the country, as well as computing the flood risk index (FRI). The framework, which is based on IPCC AR5, is established as a combination of three indicators: hazard, exposure, and capacity. A data-based approach was used, and the weights of each component were assigned to improve the validity of the FRI. A Spearman correlation analysis between the FRI and flood damage verified that the index was capable of assessing potential flood damage. When predicting scenarios for future assessment using the HadGEM3-RA based on RCP 4.5 and 8.5, the flood risk tends to be lower in the early and mid-21st century, and it becomes higher at the end of the 21st century as compared with the present.

Purpose : X-ray film over responds to low-energy photons in relative photon beam dosimetry because its sensor is based on silver bromide crystals, which are high-Z molecules. This over-response becomes a significant problem in clinical photon beam dosimetry particularly in regions outside the penumbra. In intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the radiation field is characterized by multiple small fields and their outside-penumbra regions. Therefore, in order to use film dosimetry for IMRT, the nature the source of the over-response in its radiation field need to be known. This study is aimed to verify and possibly improve film dosimetry for IMRT. Materials and Method : Modulated beams were constructed by a combination of five or seven different static radiation fields using 6 MeV X-rays. In order to verify film dosimetry, we used X-ray film and an ion chamber were used to measure the dose profiles at various depths in a phantom. In addition, in order to reduce the over-response, 0.01 inch thick lead filters were placed on both sides of the film. Results : The measured dose profiles showed a film over-response at the outside-penumbra and low dose regions. The error increased with depths and approached 15% at a maximum for the field size of $15{\times}15cm^2$ at 10 cm depth. The use of filters reduced the error to 3%, but caused an under-response of the dose in a perpendicular set-up. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that film dosimetry for IMRT involves sources of error due to its over-response to low-energy Photons. The use of filers can enhance the accuracy in film dosimetry for IMRT. In this regard, the use of optimal filter conditions is recommended.

The process of recognizing a vehicle involves detection of the vehicle, recognition of the vehicle model, and identification of the vehicle. The process of vehicle identification involves identification of the vehicle itself, such as by recognition of the license plate on the vehicle. In this paper the method involves the use of a beam splitter to divide incident rays into two directions, a transmitted beam and a reflected beam of different light intensities, and synthesizing two captured images using CCD devices from each beam, thus producing fluctuation-free images of a wide dynamic range even when the subject is moving. A prototype license plate recognition system was also developed using the experimental sensing device. The system achieved a 98.7% recognition rate on 466 images of moving vehicles, which demonstrates its effectiveness as a license plate recognition system.
