최근 국내외 해상환경은 국제 해상 물동량 증가 및 활발한 해상 레저 활동으로 인하여 교통량이 증가함으로써 해양 사고의 발생 빈도가 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 해양사고를 줄이기 위해서 선교에는 항해사의 부담을 감소시키며 정확한 의사결정을 지원하기 위하여 다양한 종류의 항행 안전장비가 존재하고 있다. 그러한 장비들 중에서 선박자동식별장치의 경우 선박 자신의 정보를 송출하고 동시에 다른 선박의 정보를 받아들여 주위 상황판단에 도움을 주는 매우 중요한 시스템이나, 오류가 발생했을 경우 잘못된 정보를 주기적으로 송출하기 때문에 해당 정보를 이용하는 육상 관제사나 항행 중인 항해사의 의사결정에 지장을 주는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 이 연구는 AIS로부터 수신되는 선박 정보들의 신뢰도 및 정확도 향상을 위한 AIS 에러 데이터 및 필드 보정 알고리즘을 제안한다.

대부분의 선박에서 송신하는 AIS 위치정보는 오차범위가 약 30미터인 일반적인 GPS 데이터에 의존하였다. 그러나 최근 DGPS의 보정정보를 활용하여 위치정확도를 개선할 수 있는 환경이 제공됨에 따라 고가의 DGPS 비콘리시버 없이 AIS 기반으로 DGNSS 메시지(17번)를 방송함으로써 위치정보를 보다 정밀하게 사용 할 수 있다.

Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration is an important cause of low back pain. Overview of Literature: Spinal fusion is often reported to have a good course for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, many studies have reported that adjacent segment degeneration is accelerated after lumbar spinal fusion. Radiography is a simple method used to evaluate the orientation of the vertebral column. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method most often used to specifically evaluate intervertebral disc degeneration. The Pfirrmann classification is a well-known method used to evaluate degenerative lumbar disease. After spinal fusion, an increase in stress, excess mobility, increased intra-disc pressure, and posterior displacement of the axis of motion have been observed in the adjacent segments. Methods: we retrospectively secured and analyzed the data of 15 patients (four boys and 11 girls) with AIS who underwent a spinal fusion surgery. We studied the full-length view of the spine (anterior-posterior and lateral) from the X-ray and MRI obtained from all patients before surgery. Postoperatively, another full-length spine X-ray and lumbosacral MRI were obtained from all participants. Then, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, curve correction, and fused and free segments before and after surgery were calculated based on X-ray studies. MRI images were used to estimate the degree to which intervertebral discs were degenerated using Pfirrmann grading system. Pfirrmann grade before and after surgery were compared with Wilcoxon signed rank test. While analyzing the contribution of potential risk factors for the post-spinal fusion Pfirrmann grade of disc degeneration, we used generalized linear models with robust standard error estimates to account for intraclass correlation that may have been present between discs of the same patient. Results: The mean age of the participant was 14 years, and the mean curvature before and after surgery were 67.8 and 23.8, respectively (p<0.05). During the median follow-up of 5 years, the mean degree of the disc degeneration significantly increased in all patients after surgery (p<0.05) with a Pfirrmann grade of 1 and 2.8 in the L2-L3 before and after surgery, respectively. The corresponding figures at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels were 1.28 and 2.43, 1.07 and 2.35, and 1 and 2.33, respectively. The lower was the number of free discs below the fusion level, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade of degeneration (p<0.001). Conversely, the higher was the number of the discs fused together, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade. Conclusions: we observed that the disc degeneration aggravated after spinal fusion for scoliosis. While the degree of degeneration as measured by Pfirrmann grade was directly correlated by the number of fused segments, it was negatively correlated with the number of discs that remained free below the lowermost level of the fusion.
