살아있는(in-vivo)실험체에서 여러 차례 획득된 영상의 관심영역 특성을 측정, 분석하기 위한 영상처리기법의 정확성은 동물을 희생시켜(in-vitro) 촬영한 영상과의 정량적 비교분석을 통해 검증할 수 있다. 하지만 육안검사에 의존한 기존 분석방법은 객관성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 in-vivo영상인 PET 영상과, in-vitro영상인 Autoradiography 영상에서 관심영역 특성을 객관적, 정량적으로 비교하는 방법을 제안한다. 종양을 심은 누드마우스에 방사성 동위원소를 표지하여 획득한 이 두 영상에서 종양 조직 성장 지표가 되는 체적과 조직의 활성도를 나타내는 방사능섭취량(SUV)을 각각 측정하고 이를 비교하였다. 또한 두 영상획득의 시간차에 의해 방사성동위원소가 붕괴되어 영상 전체의 명암도가 감소하게 되므로 시간에 반비례하게 변하는 방사성동위원소의 양을 고려하여 영상명암도를 보정하였다.

Acquisition of thermoremanent magnetization follows a Boltzman statistics, as such long reaction time in a slowly cooled environment allows more chance to align individual magnetic particles parallel to the external magnetic field. Hence it has been proposed that the slowly cooled rocks often acquire stronger magnetization than the rapidly cooled ones. Such a proposition has been experimentally validated to be true for the fine-grained magnetite- or titanomagnetite bearing basaltic rocks collected from the mid-ocean ridges. However, the effect of cooling-rate on the remanence intensity appears to be insignificant for nominal grain ranges.

360°VR 영상은 카메라에서 촬영된 여러 영상들을 이어 붙이는 작업인 스티칭(Stitching)을 통하여 만들 수 있다. 스티칭은 영상들을 이어 붙이기 위해 각 영상의 특징점을 추출하는 특징점 추출, 특징점간 유사도를 비교하여 유사한 특징점끼리 매칭시키는 특징점 매칭, 특징점 매칭 과정에서 획득한 호모그래피 매트릭스를 이용한 이미지 와핑, 각 영상 간의 부자연스러운 경계선을 제거하는 블렌딩 과정을 거친다. 고품질의 360°VR 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 영상의 개수를 증가시킬 필요가 있고, 이로 인해 스티칭 과정에서 소요되는 시간이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 센서 정보를 이용해 유사한 영상끼리 클러스터링하여, 한번에 스티칭이 진행되는 영상의 수를 감소시키고, 멀티 스레드를 이용하여 각 그룹의 스티칭을 병렬적으로 진행한 뒤, 최종적으로 스티칭하여 최종 360°VR 영상을 획득하는 과정을 제안한다.

Purpose Proton therapy can deliver an optimal dose to tumor while reducing unnecessary dose to normal tissue as compared the conventional photon therapy. As proton beams are irradiated into tissue, various positron emitters are produced via nuclear fragmentation reactions. These positron emitters could be used for the dose verification by using PET. However, the short half-life of the radioisotopes makes it hard to obtain the enough amounts of events. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of off-line PET imaging scan time on the PET image quality. Materials and Methods The various diameters of spheres (D=37, 28, 22 mm) filled with distilled water were inserted in a 2001 IEC body phantom. Then proton beams (100 MU) were irradiated into the center of the each sphere using the wobbling technique with the gantry angle of $0^{\circ}$. The modulation widths of the spread out bragg peak were 16.4, 14.7 and 9.3 cm for the spheres of 37, 28 and 22 mm in diameters respectively. After 5 min of the proton irradiation, the PET images of the IEC body phantom were obtained for 50 min. The PET images with different time courses (0-10 min, 11-20 min, 21-30 min, 31-40 min and 41-50 min) were obtained by dividing the frame with a duration of 10 min. In order to evaluate the off-line PET image quality with the different time courses, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the PET image calculated for each sphere. Results The CNRs of the sphere (D=37 mm) were 0.43, 0.42, 0.40, 0.31 and 0.21 for the time courses of 0-10 min, 11-20 min, 21-30 min, 31-40 min and 41-50 min respectively. The CNRs of the sphere (D=28 mm) were 0.36, 0.32, 0.27, 0.19 and 0.09 for the time courses of 0-10 min, 11-20 min, 21-30 min, 31-40 min and 41-50 min respectively. The CNR of 37 mm sphere was decreased rapidly after 30 min of the proton irradiation. In case of the spheres of 28 mm and 22 mm, the CNR was decreased drastically after 20 min of the irradiation. Conclusion The off-line PET imaging time is an important factor for the monitoring of the proton therapy. In case of the lesion diameter of 22 mm, the off-line PET image should be obtained within 25 min after the proton irradiation. When it comes to small size of tumor, the long PET imaging time will be beneficial for the proton therapy treatment monitoring.

Throughput and latency of interconnection network are important factors of the performance of multiprocessor systems. The dual-link CC-NUMA architecture using point-to-point unidirectional link is one of the popular structures in high-end commercial systems. In terms of optimal path between nodes, several paths exist with the optimal hop count by its native multi-path structure. Furthermore, transaction latency between nodes is affected by congestion of links on the transaction path. Hence the transaction latency may get worse if the transactions make a hot spot on some links. In this paper, I propose a dynamic transaction routing algorithm that maintains the balanced link utilization with the optimal path length, and I compare the performance with the fixed path method on the dual-link CC-NUMA systems. By the proposed method, the link competition is alleviated by the real-time path selection, and consequently, dynamic transaction algorithm shows a better performance. The program-driven simulation results show $1{\~}10\%$ improved fluctuation of link utilization, $1{\~}3\%$ enhanced acquirement of link, and $1{\~}6\%$ improved system performance.

This paper presents a structure of the searcher using a diversity in array antenna systems operating in the cdma2000 1x signal environments. The new technique exploits the fact that the In-phase and quadrature components of interferers can respectively be viewed as an independent gaussian noise at each antnna element in most practical cdma signal environments. The proposed PN acquisition scheme is a singles-dwell PN acquisition system consisting of two stages, that is, the searching stage and the verification stage. The searching stage independently correlates the receiver multiple signals with PN generator of each antenna element for obtaining the synchronous energy at the entire region. Then, the searching results of each antenna element are non-coherently combinind. The verification stage compares the searching energy with the optimal threshold, which is predesigned in the lock detector, and decides whether the acquisition is successful or fail. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of tile diversity order to determine the mean acquisition time. In general, it is known that the mean acquisition time significantly decrease as the number of antenna elements increases. But, as the diversity order goes up, the enhancement of the performance is saturated. Therefore, to decrease the mean acquisition time of the searcher, we must design the optimal array antenna systems by considering the operating SNR range of the receiver, the probability of detection $P_D$ and that of false alarm $P_{FA}$ . The Performance of the proposed PN acquisition scheme is analyzed in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. In this paper, the effect of the number of antenna elements on PN acquisition scheme is shown according to the probability of detection $P_D$ and that of false alarm $P_{FA}$.

This study empirically analyzed the factors that intensify the unequal distribution of relational goods through the decomposition of relational gaps and the actual condition of relational goods. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the average time for forming a relationship with family members or others is 158 minutes in 24 hours a day. Second, tobit regression analysis showed that relational goods time increased as they were employed, more family members, and ownership of their home. On the other hand, relational goods decreased when they were female, double-working, aged, divorced, and increased working time. The increase in household income decreased family relational goods, but increased the time with others. Based on the results of this analysis, this study proposed reduction of working time as a way to increase the happiness by sharing the relationship with meaningful people.

Ad hoc 네트워크에서 클러스터링은 여러 채널을 효율적으로 사용 가능하게 하고 제어메시지의 교환부하를 감소시키며, 이동성 관리를 용이하게 하는 이점이 있다. 그러나 대부분의 클러스터 기반 Ad hoc 라우팅 연구에서 클러스터의 생성과 유지에만 초점을 맞추고 있고, 클러스터 구조를 이용하는 경우에는 많은 채널을 소비하고 클러스터 재구성시간이 심각하게 길어진다. 이에 본 논문은 클러스터 구조를 이용하여 클러스터 정보가 모든 네트워크에 한번만 전달되도록 해서 경로를 설정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 또한 클러스터 정보가 전달되는 도중의 경로단절 시, 빠르게 대체경로를 획득한다.

정상분과 역상분의 전압이 존재하는 삼상 계통의 전압 불평형은 dq 변환에서 맥동전압 성분을 발생시킨다. 인버터의 동작을 위한 PLL의 위상 추적 능력은 맥동 전압에 의해 감소하게 된다. 정상분과 역상분의 분리를 통해 맥동 성분의 제거가 가능하지만 복잡한 PLL 구성을 갖는다. 본 연구는 불평형 상태에서 발생하는 dq 성분의 주파수가 기본파의 짝수 배만 존재하는 성질을 이용하여 comb 필터를 PLL 제어기에 적용하였다. 전압 불평형 및 고조파 성분에 대해서도 맥동 없는 dq 전압 획득이 가능하다. 기본 PLL 제어기에 단순 시간지연의 comb 필터로 견실한 PLL 제어기가 얻어진다. 제안된 PLL 제어기는 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 확인하였다.
