In this paper, a variety of digital image processing technique was applied to improve the quality of medical images which is a chest CR image. And the image quality was performed. On the other hand, the high-frequency emphasis filtering and the histogram equalization were realized by MATLAB programs to better the contrast of the chest CR image. As a result of simulation, the sharpness of the original image was elevated by the high-frequency emphasis filtering and the histogram equalization. To evaluate the degree which is improved the image quality by the digital image processing, the subjective evaluation is used by the observation of the image. The sensitivity which is the probability to find a signal or a lesion is calculated. The sensitivity of the image performed the high-frequency emphasis filtering and the histogram equalization became more improved than that of the original and the digital image processing performed in the medical image improved the quality of the image.

The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), in general, decrease abruptly above 250$^{\circ}C$ due to Mn interdiffusion from an antiferromagnet IrMn layer to a ferromagnetic CoFe and/or a tunnel barrier. To improve thermal stability, we prepared MTJs with nano-oxide layers. Using a MTJ structure consisting of underlayer CoNbZr 4/bufferlayer CoFe 10/antiferromaget IrMn 7.5/pinned layer CoFe 3/tunnel barrier AlO/freelayer CoFe 3/capping CoNbZr 2 (nm), we placed a nano-oxide layer (NOL) into the underlayer or bufferlayer. Then, the thermal, structural and magneto-electric properties were measured. The TMR ratio, surface flatness, and thermal stability of the MTJs with NOLs were promoted.

Defects such as voids or seams are frequently found in TSV via filling process. To achieve defect-free copper via filling, organic additives such as suppressor, accelerator and leveler were necessary in a copper plating bath. However, by-products stemming from the breakdown of these organic additives reduce the lifetime of the devices and plating solutions. In this research, the effects of levelers on copper electrodeposition were investigated without suppressor and accelerator to lower the concentration of additives. Threelevelers(janus green B, methylene violet, diazine black) were investigated to study the effects of levelers on copper deposition. Electrochemical behaviors of these levelers were different in terms of deposition rate. Filling performances were analyzed by cross sectional images and its characteristics were different with variations of levelers.

This paper presents an efficient facial expression recognition method by measuring the histogram distance based on preprocessing. The preprocessing that uses both centroid shift and histogram equalization is applied to improve the recognition performance, The distance measurement is also applied to estimate the similarity between the facial expressions. The centroid shift based on the first moment balance technique is applied not only to obtain the robust recognition with respect to position or size variations but also to reduce the distance measurement load by excluding the background in the recognition. Histogram equalization is used for robustly recognizing the poor contrast of the images due to light intensity. The proposed method has been applied for recognizing 72 facial expression images(4 persons * 18 scenes) of 320*243 pixels. Three distances such as city-block, Euclidean, and ordinal are used as a similarity measure between histograms. The experimental results show that the proposed method has superior recognition performances compared with the method without preprocessing. The ordinal distance shows superior recognition performances over city-block and Euclidean distances, respectively.

Slopes of Seoseokdea~ Jangbuljae, at Mt. Moodeung, appears repeatedly the cliffs are mostly greater than $70^{\circ}$, and the planations maintain around $5^{\circ}$ in general. They studied the creation of development environments, cryoplanation are mainly facing the southwest. It is assumed that rock falling had been wostly occurred under a periglacial environment through jointing due to repeated freezing and thawing. Planation at the bottom of Columnar joint are described structural benches. Movement precesses of planation matrix are solifluction or jelifluction. The result of age determination of the slopes in Jangbuljae tells that the upper part of Ibseokdae has been remaining exposed to the land surface from 110,000 year ago. The blocks in the bottom part has been exposed to the surface around 10,000 year ago while Jangbuljae has been exposed to the surface about 50,000 year ago. It was assumed that they moved to the current location since being separated from columnar joint after exposure to the surface.

Experiments have been conducted to measure the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in fluidized bed double pope heat exchangers with smooth tube and longitudinal finned tube. The effect of particle size(alumina beads; do=0.41, 0.54, 0.65, 0.77 mm) and static bed height on the heat transfer coefficient has been evaluated in terms of pumping power. The heat transfer coefficient for the smooth tube and finned tube heat exchangers has been compared with single phase double pipe heat exchanger. Results show that the heat transfer coefficients for the finned tube in $2.96{\sim}3.45$ times higher than the smooth tube. The heat transfer coefficients for the fluidized bed heat exchanger is higher than the single phase heat exchanger for the most of pumping power range tested. The maximum increase in the heat transfer coefficient for fluidized bed is 91.3% for the smooth tube and 127.1% for the finned tube.

We have developed the multi-functioned friction measuring instrument for the previous research. In here, we improved the performance of friction measuring instrument by applying the adaptive smoothing method and analyzed the friction of plate and monitoring function of friction surface through scratch tests. We substituted lubricant steel plate to lubricant oil used for reducing the friction when fabricating steel plate because lubricant oil was regarded as one of the major causes for the environmental pollution. In particular, the functions of various plate such as galvannealed steel sheets were analyzed because friction coefficient could be changed depending on the type of organic/inorganic plate or state of coating layer. Therefore, we demonstrated that adaptive smoothing method could enhance the accuracy of measuring instrument which eliminate the noise. As a result of using the method, it showed the reduction rate 0.0417% for the friction coefficient 0.16.

댐, 저수지 등 수자원 시스템분석 시 가장 기초가 되는 유입량 자료는 실측 수위(저수량)와 방류량을 역산하여 산정된다. 이 중 댐 수위는 수표면 진동으로 인해 변동이 크며, 특히, 급격한 수위 변화가 발생하는 홍수기에는 수위-저수량 변환 시 큰 오차가 발생하여 유입량 진동이 더욱 커지게 된다. 하지만 홍수기 저수지 운영 효과 분석 등 관련 연구를 위해서는 시간 간격이 짧은 10분 또는 1시간 단위의 유입량 자료가 필요함에 따라 관련 연구 수행 시 이동평균법(Moving Average) 등을 통해 실측 유입량 자료를 보정하여 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 데이터 평활화를 위해 이동평균법을 적용하면 데이터의 변동을 효과적으로 줄일 수는 있지만 실측자료와 비교하였을 때 첨두 유입량이 큰 폭으로 감소하거나, 첨두 유입량 발생시간이 지체되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 유입량과 같이 변동이 큰 수문자료의 평활화를 위해 가우시안 가중 이동평균법(Gaussian-weighted moving average technique), 사비츠키-골레이 필터링기법(Savitzky-Golay filtering technique) 등 필터링 기법을 댐 유입량 보정에 적용하고, 이에 따른 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2020년 8월에 발생한 홍수사상을 대상으로 충주댐, 합천댐 등 다목적댐 유입량 자료를 수집하고, 보정을 수행하였다. 필터링 기법의 적용 효과 분석을 위해서는 실측자료와 이동평균법을 적용하여 보정한 결과와 비교하였고, 추가적으로 비교적 변동이 작은 일 단위 유입량 자료와의 양적 비교를 진행하였다. 그 결과 이동평균법을 적용하였을 때보다 필터링 기법을 적용하였을 때 실측자료와의 양적 차이가 작고, 첨두 유입량 및 첨두 유입 발생시간에서도 차이를 큰 폭으로 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study was performed to investigate the biological activity of yangha flower buds as well as to manufacture of yanggeng prepared with various levels (0 g, 3 g, 6 g, 9 g, and 12 g) of yangha flower buds. DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities of yangha flower buds were 96% and 57% compared to levels of vitamin C, respectively. In the oxygen radical antioxidant capacity assay, antioxidant activity increased dose dependently up to $500{\mu}g/mL$ of yangha flower buds. There was no toxicity up to $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ in vascular smooth muscle cells, and yanggeng significantly reduced migration and proliferation by platelet-derived growth factor-BB-stimulated rat aortic smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation. In the sensory evaluation, the optimal sample was YY9, which was prepared with 9 g of yangha flower buds. It can be concluded that yangha flower buds show antioxidant and vascular protective activities. The optimal sample (YY9) is expected to contribute as a new functional food.
