Recently, there are active studies on a forward collision warning system to prevent the accidents and improve convenience of drivers. For collision evasion, the vehicle detection system is required. In general, existing learning-based vehicle detection methods use the entire appearance of the vehicles from rear-view images, so that each vehicle types should be learned separately since they have distinct rear-view appearance regarding the types. To overcome such shortcoming, we learn Haar-like features from the lower part of the vehicles which contain tail lights to detect vehicles leveraging the fact that the lower part is consistent regardless of vehicle types. As a verification procedure, we detect tail lights to distinguish actual vehicles and non-vehicles. If candidates are too small to detect the tail lights, we use HOG(Histogram Of Gradient) feature and SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier to reduce false alarms. The proposed forward vehicle detection method shows accuracy of 95% even in the complicated images with many buildings by the road, regardless of vehicle types.

The purpose of research is to analyze research trends and methods in a total of 709 studies published in five domestic mathematics education journals issued by Korea Citation Index (KCI) for the last 10 years (2003-2013) and strands in stages of research methods among mixed methods studies. As a result, the majority of articles in the five journals used either qualitative or quantitative methods and mixed methods research was less than 10 % of the total number of studies. The majority of mixed methods was research equally mixing qualitative and quantitative methods. The mixed methods research consisted primarily of quantitative with descriptive statistics and very little qualitative with conceptual framework based on theoretical background. Our results provide not only trends of the current research methods, but also implications for various future research paradigms in mathematics education.

Plant location selection is a decision which requires huge investment and entails a significant impact in a longer-term. The petrochemical industry, in particular, is so capital- and technology-intensive that the firms in the industry pursue enhancing competitiveness through collaboration and integration among entities in their supply chains. Even though the logistics factor such as logistics costs and connectivity have, as a result, gained its importance in plant location decision making, this has rarely studies in empirical studies. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relative importance of the logistics factor in plant location decision making in the petrochemical industry using the multi-criteria decision-making approach. In addition the three representative petrochemical industrial complexes are evaluated by the factors used in this study. This study is able to provide the useful implication in both practical and policy-making aspects. Firms are required to consider the logistics factors with priority compared to other factors in plant location decision making. In addition, when federal or local governments build industrial sites and attract the petrochemical firm, logistics infrastructure should also be considered to provide better transportation connectivity and lower logistics costs in turn.

This study is to analyze whether the use of SNS in politics has any political effects. Most previous studies on political participation by SNS tended to just focus on the participation difference between SNS users and non-users. The test results first show that the development of ICT increases citizens' interest in political information and differentiate the methods of their political participation. Second, we identified SNS users tend to have higher reliability in political information and greater transversion effects by the use of media. Finally, the study verifies SNS is a more effective tool in collective actions such as non-customary rallies and demonstration rather than in customary political participation.

In this paper, we focus on the filtering step of candidate objects for spatial join operations on the input tables that none of the inputs is indexed. Over the last decade, several spatial Join algorithms for the input tables with index have been extensively studied. Those algorithms show excellent performance over most spatial data, while little research on solving the performance degradation in the presence of skewed data has been attempted. Therefore, we propose a spatial hash strip join(SHSJ) algorithm that can refine the problem of skewed data in the conventional spatial hash Join(SHJ) algorithm. The basic idea is similar to the conventional SHJ algorithm, but the differences are that bucket capacities are not limited while allocating data into buckets and SSSJ algorithm is applied to bucket join operations. Finally, as a result of experiment using Tiger/line data set, the performance of the spatial hash strip join operation was improved over existing SHJ algorithm and SSSJ algorithm.

In this paper, the correspondence matching method of stereo images was proposed by means of sampling projective transformation matrix in planar region of scene. Though this study is based on RANSAC, it does not use uniform distribution by random sampling in RANSAC, but use multi non-uniform computed from difference in positions of feature point of image or templates matching. The existing matching method sampled that the correspondence is presumed to correct by use of the condition which the correct correspondence is almost satisfying, and applied RANSAC by matching the correspondence into one to one, but by sampling in stages in multi probability distribution computed for image in the proposed method, the correct correspondence of high probability can be sampled among multi correspondence candidates effectively. In the result, we could obtain many correct correspondence and verify effectiveness of the proposed method in the simulation and experiment of real images.

현재 디스플레이 시장은 급변하게 변화하고 있다. 특히, 비정질 실리콘의 경우 디스플레이의 채널층으로 주로 상용화되어 왔다. 비정질 실리콘 기반의 박막 트랜지스터는 제작의 경제성 및 균일성을 가지고 있어서 널리 상용화되고 있다. 하지만 비정질 실리콘의 경우 낮은 전자 이동도(< $1\;cm^2/Vs$)로 인하여 디스플레이의 대면적화에 부적합하며, 광학적으로 불투명한 특성을 갖기 때문에 차세대 디스플레이의 응용에 불리한 점이 있다. 이런 문제점의 대안으로 현재 국내외 여러 연구 그룹에서 산화물 기반의 반도체를 박막 트랜지스터의 채널층으로 사용하려는 연구가 진행중이다. 산화물 기반의 반도체는 밴드갭이 넓어서 광학적으로 투명하고, 상온에서 증착이 가능하며, 비정질 실리콘에 비해 월등히 우수한 이동도를 가짐으로 디스플레이의 대면적화에 유리하다. 특히 Zinc Oxide, Tin Oxide, Titanum Oxide등의 산화물이 연구되고 있으며, indium이나 aluminum등을 첨가하여 전기적인 특성을 향상시키려는 노력을 보이고 있다. Tin oxide의 경우 천연적으로 풍부한 자원이며, 낮은 가격이 큰 이점으로 작용을 한다. 또한, $SnO_2$의 경우 ITO나 ZnO 열적으로 화학적 과정에서 더 안정하다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 $SnO_2$ 기반의 박막 트랜지스터를 DC magnetron sputtering를 이용하여 상온에서 제작을 하였다. 일반적으로, $SnO_2$의 경우 증착 과정에서 산소 분압 조절과 oxygen vacancy 조절를 통하여 박막의 전도성을 조절할 수 있다. 이렇게 제작된 $SnO_2$의 박막을 High-resolution X-ray diffractometer, photoluminescence spectra, Hall effect measurement를 이용하여 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 알 수 있다. 그리고 후열처리 통하여 박막의 전기적 특성 변화를 확인하였다. gate insulator의 처리를 통하여 thin film의 interface의 trap density를 감소시킴으로써 소자의 성능 향상을 시도하였다. 그리고 semiconductor analyzer로 소자의 출력 특성 및 전이 특성을 평가하였다. 그리고 Temperature, Bias Temperature stability, 경시변화 등의 다양한 조건에서의 안정성을 평가하여 안정성이 확보된다면 비정질 실리콘을 대체할 유력한 후보 중의 하나가 될 것이라고 기대된다.

The technologies for improving the capacity of hydrogen storage were investigated and the recent data of hydrogen storage by using various porous carbon materials were summarized. As the media of hydrogen storage, activated carbon, carbon nanotube, expanded graphite and activated carbon fiber were mainly investigated. The hydrogen storage in the carbon materials increased with controlled pore size about 0.6~0.7 nm. In case of catalyst, transition metal and their metal oxide were mainly applied on the surface of carbon materials by doping. Activated carbon is relatively cheap because of its production on a large scale. Carbon nanotube has a space inside and outside of tube for hydrogen storage. In case of graphite, the distance between layers can be extended by intercalation of alkali metals providing the space for hydrogen adsorption. Activated carbon fiber has the high specific surface area and micro pore volume which are useful for hydrogen storage. Above consideration of research, porous carbon materials still can be one of the promising materials for reaching the DOE target of hydrogen storage.

With increasing user applicability of geospatial data, user demand for manifold and accurate information has increased. The usefulness of these services derives from their combination of the advantages of as-built geospatial data in making new content. There is a spatial inconsistency and shape disagreement in fusing heterogeneous data. Conflation, defined as the combining of information from diverse sources so as to reconcile spatial inconsistencies and shape disagreement, is possible solution to the problem. In this research, we developed the technique for removing shape disagreement between aerial image and road map removed spatial inconsistency in advanced research. The process includes four processes: producing of a road candidate image, extraction of vertices, and generation of a graph by connecting the vertices. We could remove the shape disagreement using the extracted road that was derived from finding the road possible path.

본 총설에서는 새로운 방부제와 방부처리 기술의 현재 발전 동향을 요약, 보고한다. 많은 새로운 방부제들이 약제의 독성 측면에서 환경적인 충격을 완화시킬 수 있는 잠재성을 가지고 있지만, 방부제로서 상업화되기 위해서는 이러한 약제들은 약제의 효능과 환경 안전성 간의 몇 가지 상호 조정 관계가 반드시 해결되어야 한다. Ammoniacal copper 계통의 방부제들이 지접부 사용에 적합한 새로운 수용성 방부제들의 주종을 이루고 있으며, 기존의 유용성 방부제들을 물에 용해한 emulsion 형태도 지접부 사용의 가능성을 보여 준다. 새로운 유용성 방부제 중에서 copper naphthenate, substituted isothiazolones, chlorothalonil, oxine copper가 지접부 사용을 위한 최상의 후보로 평가되고 있다. 유용성 방부제를 emulsion 형태로 사용하는 것은 유용성 방부제에 사용되는 석유 계통 용제의 소비를 감소시키기 때문에 중대한 의미를 가진다. 방부제들의 효능을 개선하고 강화시키기 위해 사용되는 첨가제들도 본 총설에서 거론된다. 재질개량을 위해 사용되는 비통상적인 방법(nonconventional system)들도 생물학적 열화 및 기상열화에 대한 저항성을 부여하여 목재의 사용수명을 증가시킨다. 전처리 공정에서 침상 자상처리(Needle incising)와 레이져 자상처리는 난주입 수종의 처리도를 개선시킬 수 있는 잠재성을 가지고 있다. 처리기술에 있어서 여러 가지 혁신적인 변화들은 기존의 처리 schedule을 조성함에 그 기본을 두고 있다. 난주입 수종의 처리도 개선은 pulsation법이나 고압 약제 분사법 (high energy liquid jets) 같은 고압을 적용하는 처리법에 의해서 달성된다. 미래의 처리공장들은 방부제를 기체상태로 또는 물질의 임계점 이상에서 방부제를 처리할 수도 있다. 이러한 새로운 접근은 외관이 깨끗하고, 처리도도 매우 양호한 처리재를 생산하는데 일조하리라 기대한다. 환경에 대한 대중적인 지대한 관심은 앞으로 목재 방부산업에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 보인다. 결과적으로 방부제의 처리목재내 가속 정착에 관한 연구에 상당한 노력이 투자될 것이다. 처리 후 가공에 관한 다른 주요한 연구는 방부제 처리 후 실시되는 재건조가 처리재의 역학적 성질에 미치는 영향에 대한 것이다.
