  • This paper investigated and evaluated the NASA's Shuttle Imaging Radar-C (SIR-C) multiple frequency SAR data for differential backscattering effects of microwave from the surface geological materials overlying the skarn type mineralization. Although an integrated approach in mineral exploration is more cost effective and is well in use, there are still many technical and scientific issues to be further investigated and researched. In this study we have reprocessed several sets of previously surveyed exploration data and experimented with fuzzy logic digital fusion of the preprocessed data with respect to chosen exploration targets. Among the numerous fuzzy logic operators, which are currently available for a data driven integrated exploration strategy, we used varying combinations of fuzzy MIN, fuzzy MAX, and fuzzy SUM operators along with Gamma operator for fusion of exploration data, including the contact metamorphic zone information. The final exploration target tested was a skarn type W-Mo-F mineralization in the study area. The fuzzy logic derived mineral potential anomaly almost exactly matched the differential backscattering anomalies on the C-band and L-band SIR_C data when overlaid on each other. Although this high degree of correlation between these two data sets is remarkable, the differential backscattering anomaly over the skarn type W-Mo-F mineralization in the study area requires further investigation.

  • Blunt trauma, drugs, infection, congenital anomalies of the pancreaticobiliary system, and multisystem diseases are the main causes of acute pancreatitis in children. Various viruses can cause acute pancreatitis, but varicella-induced pancreatitis is unusual and generally observed in adults or immunocompromised patients. We report a rare case of acute pancreatitis associated with varicella-zoster virus infection in a 6-year-old immunocompetent girl. The patient initially presented complaining of severe abdominal pain and repetitive vomiting. The patient had multiple cutaneous crusts that has been caused by preceding varicella infection and had elevated values of serum amylase and lipase. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated swelling of the pancreas and pancreatic duct dilatation, findings which were compatible with acute pancreatitis. The patient's clinical and laboratory abnormalities were completely normalized through conservative treatment consisting of fasting, total parenteral nutrition, and analgesic therapy.

  • Internet of things (IoT) is a new paradigm for collecting, processing and analyzing various contents in order to detect anomalies and to monitor particular patterns in a specific environment. The collected data can be used to discover new patterns and to offer new insights. IoT-enabled data mashup is a new technology to combine various types of information from multiple sources into a single web service. Mashup services create a new horizon for different applications. Environmental monitoring is a serious tool for the state and private organizations, which are located in regions with environmental hazards and seek to gain insights to detect hazards and locate them clearly. These organizations may utilize IoT - enabled data mashup service to merge different types of datasets from different IoT sensor networks in order to leverage their data analytics performance and the accuracy of the predictions. This paper presents an IoT - enabled data mashup service, where the multimedia data is collected from the various IoT platforms, then fed into an environmental cognition service which executes different image processing techniques such as noise removal, segmentation, and feature extraction, in order to detect interesting patterns in hazardous areas. The noise present in the captured images is eliminated with the help of a noise removal and background subtraction processes. Markov based approach was utilized to segment the possible regions of interest. The viable features within each region were extracted using a multiresolution wavelet transform, then fed into a discriminative classifier to extract various patterns. Experimental results have shown an accurate detection performance and adequate processing time for the proposed approach. We also provide a data mashup scenario for an IoT-enabled environmental hazard detection service and experimentation results.

  • Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome(NBCCS) is a autosomal dominant disorder, and its major manifestations are multiple basal cell carcinoma, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, rib anomalies, palmer and plantar pits, calcification of the falx cerebri. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor(KCOT) is defined as intraosseous tumor of odontogenic origin with a characteristic lining of parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium and potential aggressive behavior. We report a case of a 3-year-old patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome who initially presented with unilocular keratocystic odontogenic tumor in maxillary canine region. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor was treated by enucleation, and periodic follow-up check will be required for early diagnosis of additional diseases related with this syndrome.

  • Seventy neonates with congenital intestinal atresia and stenosis who were treated at pediatric surgical service. Hanyang University Hospital from September 1979 to December 1996 were analyzed retrospectively. The lesion occurred in 27 cases at the duodenum, in 26 cases at the jeiunum, in 13 cases at the ileum and in 2 cases at the pylorus and colon each. There were 10 multiple atresias and 7 apple-peel anomaly cases. The atresia predominated over the stenosis by the ratio of 4 : 1. Male to female ratio was 1.3 : 1. The average gestational age was 38 weeks, and the average birth weight was 2,754 grams. Though 22.9 % were borne prematurely and 34.3 % had low birth weight, 92.3 % of them had a weight appropriate for gestational age. Polyhydramnios(40 %) was more frequently observed in duodenal and jeiunal atresia while microcolon in ileal atresia(58.3 %). Weight loss and electrolyte imbalance occurred more frequently in the duodenal stenosis cases because of delayed diagnosis. Twenty(55.6 %) of 37 jeiunoileal atresia cases had evidence of intrauterine vascular accident : 4 intrauterine intussusception, 3 intrauterine volvulus and 3 strangulated intestine in gastroschisis, and 10 cases of intrauterine peritonitis. There were one or more associated anomalies in 45 patients (64.3 %). Preoperatively proximal loop volvulus developed in 3 cases and proximal loop perforation in 5 cases and one case each of distal loop perforation, duodenal perforation and midgut volvulus occurred in the jeiunoileal atresia. Overall mortality rate was 20 %.

  • Estimations of depth, magnetic orientation, and strength of dipole moments aid discrimination between unexploded ordnance (UXO) and non-UXO using magnetic surveys. Such estimations may be hindered by geologic noise, magnetic clutter, and overlapping tails of nearby dipole fields. An improved method of inversion for anomalies of single or multiple dipoles with arbitrary polarization was developed to include intra-inversion filtering and estimation of background field gradients. Data interpolated to grids are flagged so that only nodes nearest to measurement stations are used. To apply intra-inversion filtering to such data requires a gapped filter. Moreover, for data with significant gaps in coverage, or along the edges or corners of survey areas, intra-inversion filters must be appropriately modified. To that end, edge-adaptive and gapped gradient-nulling filters have been designed and tested. Applications are shown for magnetic field data from Chongcho Lake, Sokcho, Korea and the U. S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

  • This study suggests a methodology to track crime suspects or anomalies through CCTV in order to expand the scope of CCTV use as the number of CCTV installations continues to increase nationwide in recent years. For the abnormal behavior classification, we use the existing studies to find out suspected criminals or abnormal actors, use CNN to track objects, and connect the surrounding CCTVs to each other to predict the movement path of objectified objects CCTVs in the vicinity of the path were used to share objects' sample data to track objects and to track objects. Through this research, we will keep track of criminals who can not be traced, contribute to the national security, and continue to study them so that more diverse technologies can be applied to CCTV.

  • For real-time systems, multiprocessor support is indispensable to handle the large number of requests. Existing real-time on-line scheduling algorithms such as Earliest Deadline First Algorithm (EDF) and Least Laxity Algorithm (LLA) may not be suitable for scheduling real-time tasks in multiprocessor systems. Although EDF has low context switching overhead, it suffers from "multiple processor anomalies." LLA has been shown as suboptimal, but has the potential for higher context switching overhead. Earliest Deadline Zero Laxity (EDZL) solved somewhat the problems of those algorithms, however is suboptimal for only two processors. Another algorithm EDA2 shows very good performance in overload phase, however, is not suboptimal for muitiprocessors. We propose two on-line scheduling algorithms, Earliest Deadline/Least Laxity (ED/LL) and ED2/LL. ED/LL is suboptimal for multiprocessors, and has low context switching overhead and low deadline miss rate in normal load phase. However, ED/LL is ineffective when the system is overloaded. To solve this problem, ED2/LL uses ED/LL or EDZL in normal load phase and uses EDA2 in overload phase. Experimental results show that ED2/LL achieves good performance in overload phase as wet] as in normal load phase.oad phase.

  • We report on 2 siblings with a partial trisomy of 7q ($7q22{\rightarrow}qter$) and concomitant partial monosomy of 8p ($8p23.3{\rightarrow}pter$), which were shown by FISH using probes located at the telomere region of each chromosome. All the balanced translocation carriers (father and a sister) in this family had a normal phenotype. The 2 siblings with the same abnormal karyotype had similar multiple congenital anomalies and dysmorphic features. During the follow-up, the first male patient died in the neonatal period, but the female sibling is still alive at 2 years and 6 months of age.

  • Costello syndrome (CS) is a rare multiple congenital abnormality syndrome characterized by a typical coarse face, developmental delay, psychomotor and growth retardation, neurologic abnormalities, cardiac and cutaneous anomalies, severe feeding difficulties with postnatal growth failure, and increased risk of tumors. Since Costello first described it in 1971 and again in 1977, over 100 cases have been reported worldwide. It was recently shown that CS is a congenital condition caused by heterozygous de novo missense mutations affecting the codon for glycine 12 or 13 of the HRAS gene. We experienced three unrelated cases with coarse faces, developmental delays, short statures, macrocephaly, and redundant skin with deep palmar and plantar creases, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial tachycardia, which are characteristic of CS.
