To elucidate the action of the adrenergic nerve on the isolated uterine smooth muscle of the pig, effects of electrical transmural nerve stimulation and norepinephrine were investigated on the pretreatment of phentolamine ； non-selective ${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor blocker, propranolol ; ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor blocker and the yohimbine；${\alpha}_2$-selective adrenoceptor blocker from physiograph. 1. The relaxation response induced by norepinephrine was the concentration of $10^{-6}$ M at first and maximum response was concentration of $10^{-4}$M. 2. The relaxation response induced by norepinephrine was not effected by the pretreatment with non-selective $\alpha$-adrenoceptor blocker, phentolanune ($10^{-6}$ M) but was completely blocked by the pretreatment with ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor blocker, propranolol($10^{-6}$ M). 3. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(20V, 10Hz, 0.5msec, 20sec ) was inhibited by the pretreatment with non-selective ${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor blocker, phentolamine($10^{-6}$ M) but was not inhibited and rather increased by the pretreatment ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor blocker, propranolol($10^{-6}$ M), and was not approximately effected by the pretreatment with ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor blocker, yohimbine($10^{-6}$ M). These finding suggest that it was excitatory action by ${\alpha}_1$-adrenergic nerve and inhibitory action by ${\alpha}_2$-adrenergic, ${\beta}$-adrenergic nerve on uterine smooth muscle of the pig.

To elucidate the action of the cholinergic nerve on the isolated uterine smooth muscle of the pig, effects of electrical transmural nerve stimulation and acetylcholine were investigated on the pretreatment of the physostigmine ; cholinestrase inhibitor and atropine ; cholinergic receptor blocker from physiograph. 1. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine was responsed in the concentration of 10^{-8}$ M at first and the maximum contractility was concentration of $10^{-6}$ M. 2. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(20 V, 0.5 Msec, 20 sec) was the frequency(2-64 Hz) -dependent manner. 3. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine was completely blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine and was increased by the pretrement of cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. 4. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation was completely blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine, and was increased by the pretretment of cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. These findings suggest that it was powerful excitatory action by cholinergic nerve on uterine smooth muscle of the pig.

The incidence of pulmonary leiomyosarcoma as primary lung tumor is very rare. Most of the primary leiomyosarcomas originate in the hilar region in relation to the main bronchus or pulmonary vessels and only a few originate more peripherally. This rare tumor can mimic bronchial carcinoma and present with local or systemic symptoms, or it may be discovered as an incidental finding on a routine chest X-ray. We report with review of literature, a case of incidental primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma which originated peripherally. Huge mass was found on the left lung of a 61-year-old man on the chest X-ray peripherally. He underwent the surgical resection of the left pneumonectomy and the postoperative course was uneventful.

In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out at stress test levels of 461 MPa, 441 MPa, and 431 MPa by using smooth specimen of$2_{1/4}$ Cr-1 Mo steel with the stress ratio(R) of 0.05. The initiation, growth and coalescense process of the major cracks and sub-cracks among the fatigue cracks on the smooth specimen are investigated and measured under each stress level at a constant cycle ratio by the replica technique with optical microscope. Some of the important results are as follows: In spite of the difference of stress levels, the major crack data gather into a small band in the curve of surface crack length and crack depth against cycle ratio N/Nf. The sub-crack data, however, deviate from the band of the major crack. The growth rates, da/dN, of major and sub-crack plotted against the stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$, have the tendency to be compressed on a relatively small band. But it is more effective to predict fatigue life through major cracks. The propagation behavior of surface microcracks on the smooth specimens coincides with that of the specimen having an artificial small surface defect or through crack.

영상 표시 장치에서 대조 이미지의 왜곡 현상을 보완하기 위해 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization)와 플래토 평활화(Plateau Equalization)가 사용된다. 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization)를 이용하여 명암대비를 증가 시킬 경우 과도한 이미지의 밝기 변화에 따른 과포화 현상이 발생하며 실시간 시스템에서는 물체 추적에 왜곡 현상이 발생한다. 특히, 적외선 영상(infrared image)과 같이 명암비가 한쪽으로 치우쳐 있는 영상들을 명암비를 개선하기 위해서는 플래토 평활화(Plateau Equalization)와 같은 영상 개선 방법이 필수적이다. 플래토 평활화에서는 임계값을 사용하는 방법이 제시되고 있지만 실험에 의한 최적 임계값을 찾아내는 방식이며, 이 방법은 입력되는 새로운 영상마다 임계값을 실험에 의해 매번 반복해서 도출해야 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 과포화 되는 이미지 영역의 문제를 해결하기 위해 제시하는 방법으로 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization)의 동적 분할하는 알고리즘에 근거하되, 입력 영상에따라 적응적으로 임계값을 설정하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 방법이 실시간 영상에서 기존의 동적분할 히스토그램에 비해 자연스럽게 명암비를 개선하여 과포화 되거나 중요한 정보를 누락하여 왜곡 되지 않게 자연스러운 화면을 재생하는 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, CFRP composite is more and more used in the various fields because of a higher specific modulus, chemical property and so on. Most products using CFRP composite are manufactured by construction of components. Various components are joined with those by bolts and pins. Holes for bolts and pins decrease strength and fatigue life of components, because those act as notch in structures. In this paper, we experimentally evaluated the fatigue life of hole-notched and unnotched weave CFRP plate. Then, we compared the two results and proposed an equation for prediction of fatigue life.

The remeshing is a method to replace a distorted mesh by a new mesh without interrupting the finite element calculation. The remeshing procedure in this paper refers to the rezoning, for which a sm oothing process is developed to alleviate the distortions of mesh. In the paper, an automatic finite element rezoning system with tetrahedral elements for large deformation analysis has been developed. Our smoothing process is composed of two steps, a surface smoothing and a volume smoothing. In the surface smoothing, checking the dihedral angle and projection on surface patch reduced the change of shape and nodes penetrating die. The constrained Laplacian smoothing has been employed for the volume smoothing process. The state variables are mapped from old mesh to new mesh by using volume coordinates within a tetrahedral element. All these procedures have been linked to the NIKE3D program As illustrated in the examples the overall strategy ensures a robust and efficient rezoning scheme for finite element simulation of metal-forming processes.

콘크리트 슬래브 표면의 영상처리 목적은 구조물의 균열발생을 최소화하고 발생한 균열에 대해서 지속적인 기록 관리로 균열의 진행 상태를 분석하여 보수시기 및 보수공법 적용의 합리적 운영체계를 수립하고자 하는 것이다. 일반적으로 콘크리트에서의 균열은 육안으로 분간할 수 있을 정도로 큰 반면 프리스트레스트 콘크리트의 균열은 기기를 사용하여야 측정, 분별할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 균열의 명함도와 인접한 표면의 명함도 차이를 이용하여 균열과 잡음을 분리한다. 그리고 균열과 잡음 영역에서 형태학적인 정보를 이용하여 잡음 영역만을 제거한다. 잡음 영역이 제거된 균열 영역에서도 미세한 잡음이 존재하므로 균열 영역을 평활화를 한 후, 미세 잡음을 하나의 객체로 인식하여 제거하고 끊어진 영역의 균열을 미디언 필터를 이용하여 균열을 연결한다. 그리고 제안된 방법으로 추출된 균열을 원본 영상에 적용하여 최종적으로 균열만을 검출한다. 검출된 균열에서 균열의 특정부분을 선택하고 선택되어진 균열 영상을 대상으로 균열의 길이, 방향, 폭을 순차적으로 분석한다. 실제 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 균열이 비교적 정확히 검출되었고 균열 검사기가 한번에 측정할 때에 비해 비교적 빠르고 적은 노력으로 측정할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, Fingerprint matching method which is able to confirm one's identity using microcomputer is discussed. In matching method, fingerprint image is thinned and we extracted feature point data which is composed of position and direction of end-point and branch-point. Identification is conducted by decision of disagreement between reference finger print and input fingerprint us ing this extracted data. After averaging and binariztion process, thining method is conducted. Restoration process is carried out to seek precise feature pointdatd. We compensate position difference of reference fingerprint and input fingerprint, which is divied end-point and branch-point, and translated and rotated its position. Using this compensdate difference of position, we decide whether fingerp-print identity is true or not.

초음파 영상은 미세한 명암도 차이 등에 의해 분석 과정에서 근육 영역의 위치와 크기를 판단하는데 어려움이 발생하고 이로 인해 근육 영역을 파악하는데 주관성이 개입된다. 본 논문에서는 근육영역을 객관적으로 분석하기 위해 ART2 신경망을 적용하여 양자화를 수행한 후, 국부적 영역에서 근육 영역을 추출한다. 초음파 영상에서 히스토그램 평활화와 엔드인 탐색 알고리즘을 적용하여 명암도의 분포와 밝기 값을 보정 한 후, ART2 신경망을 이용하여 유사한 영역을 클러스터링 한다. 그리고 클러스터링 된 각 영역의 크기, 위치 및 명암도 정보를 분석하여 피하지방, 근육 막, 기타 배경 영역으로 분류한다. 최종적인 근육 영역을 찾기 위해 근육 막 내부 객체들 간의 거리, 각도를 이용하여 근육 막 영역에 둘러싸인 근육 영역을 추출한다. 실제 초음파 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 일반적인 클러스터링 기법을 적용한 방법 보다 ART2 기반 양자화와 제안된 영역 확장 기법으로 근육영역을 추출하고 분석하는 것이 효율적임을 확인하였다.
