In implementing interactive multimedia systems, real-time visualization plays an important role. This paper presents efficient data structures and algorithms for real-time terrain navigation. Terrain data set is usually too huge to display as is. Therefore LOD (levels of detail) methods and view frustum culling are essential tools. This paper describes in detail compact hierarchical data structures, fast view frustum culling, and efficient LOD construction/rendering algorithms. Unlike previous works, we use a precise screen-space error metric for vertex removal and a strict error threshold allowing sub-pixel -sized errors only. Nevertheless, we can achieve 22 fps on average in a PC platform. The methods presented in this paper also satisfy almost all of the requirements for interactive real-time terrain Visualization.

This study determined the effects of twin birth on subsequent postpartum disorders, culling and reproductive performance, and its risk factors in dairy cows. Detailed data related to reproduction, health, and calving events, including dates of artificial insemination (AI) and calving, hormonal treatment prior to conception, cow parity, twin birth, retained placenta, metabolic disorders, and endometritis were collected from 1,717 individual calvings on 9 dairy farms. The incidence rate of twin birth was 3.4%. Gestation length was shorter in cows with twin birth ($270.6{\pm}2.0$ days) than cows giving birth to singletons ($279.5{\pm}0.2$ days, P < 0.01). The incidence of retained placenta (47.5 vs. 16.0%), metabolic disorders (18.6 vs. 3.8%) endometritis (62.7 vs. 28.2%), and culling rate (32.2 vs. 16.5%) was greater in cows with twin birth than in cows giving birth to singletons, respectively (P < 0.01). The hazard of pregnancy (adjusted hazard ratio, AHR) by 210 days in milk analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model was affected by calving season, in that the rate of pregnancy for cows calved during spring was less than for cows calved during winter (AHR = 0.80; P = 0.01); this was also true for endometritis (AHR = 0.46, P < 0.01). AHR was not affected by twin birth. Logistic analysis demonstrated that increasing the cow parity (P < 0.01) and hormonal treatment prior to conception (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 1.84, P < 0.05) increased the risk of twin birth. These results demonstrate that twin births are responsible for severe economic losses through the increased occurrence of postpartum disorders and culling; thus, appropriate management for the deleterious impact of twin birth, and/or reducing the risk factors by herd control regarding cow parity and the use of reproductive hormones prior to conception might be necessary.

실시간 가시화/시각화(Visualization)을 위한 지형 가시화 분야에서의 렌더링 속도 향상은 사용자의 현실감에 있어 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 Height Field 데이터를 사용한 블록 단위 지형 렌더링 방법에서 이전 프레임 정보를 사용하여 지형 가시화 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. Height Field로 표현된 지형을 실시간에 효과적으로 렌더링 할 수 있는 방법으로CLOD(Continuous leveI Of Detail)가 있으며 대표적인 방법으로 Multiresolution TIN(Triangle Irregular Network)과 Regular Grid Method에 기반한 방법들이 있다. 대개의 경우, 지형 데이터는 매우 방대한 크기를 가지고 있어서 실시간으로 렌더링 하는 것이 불가능할 경우가 많다. 따라서 실시간 지형렌더링 에서는 LOD(Level of Detail)관리와 뷰 프러스텀 컬링이 실시간 렌더링 속도 향상을 위한 핵심 사항이 된다. 본 연구에서는 PC 기반에서 효과적으로 지형을 표현하기 위해 기존 Regular Grid Method에 기반한 방법의 가시영역 추출(View Frustum Culling)을 수정하여 실시간 지형 렌더링의 가시 영역 추출(View Frustum Culling)시 기존의 쿼드트리 방식과 함께 이전 프레임에서 블록 단위로 저장된 컬링 정보를 혼용하여 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 상세히 기술 한다.

A breeding plan was carried out on four commercial strains of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) 101, 102, 103 and 104 to improve some important traits. Genetic gain or response to selection $({\Delta}G)$, heritability of cocoon shell weight (CSW) and specific combining ability effects were estimated to determine the strains that can be improved. Strain 101 had lowest heritabitity, ${\Delta}G$ and viability. Strain 102 was acceptable in selection response but its viability was low. Therefore these two strains were not suitable for more selection. As a result, only lines 103 and 104 were chosen for further improvement. Intra population selection based on independent culling level method practiced from third to sixth generation for both productive and viability traits simultaneously. While CSW and CW had increasingly enhanced during primary generations, they went slightly up after third generation. According to negative genetic correlation, viability decreased during primary generations, but after third generation that paid attention to balanced development of both productive and viability traits, viability increased so that the pupation rate reached to $91\%$ in 103 and $97\%$ in 104 for last generation $(G_8)$.

To improve the performance of tiled display system, two parallel tiled display algorithms are proposed by combining the sort-first and the sort-last sorting methods. In the proposed algorithms, the view frustum culling is employed along with the OpenGL display list for the sort-first sorting, and the pre-detection sort-last sparse sorting method is used for sort-last sorting. Through the benchmarking tests, the performances of two proposed algorithms are investigated. Based on the observations, it is suggested how to select an optimal algorithm among the two proposed parallel tiled display algorithms for the given visualization model.

When hot strip is trimmed in the side trimming process at the entry side of tandem cold rolling mill, due to bad quality of trimming face and burr, product quality(saw ear)becomes so bad that it causes drop of yield and claim from customers. Therefore, it was examined that applying ultrasonic vibration is an effective method to improve quality of strip trimming face and decrease burr magnitude by decreasing shear force acting between strip trimming face and knife in side trimming process of cold rolling.

실시간 랜더링은 가상 공간과 사용자가 상호작용이 가능함을 말한다. 이런 실시간 랜더링 기법 중에서 옥트리는 보이지 않는 면을 검출함(Back Face Culling)에 있어서 매우 유용하다. 그러나 지형처럼 데이터가 끊임없이 이어져서 연속적이라면 사용자의 시점이 가상 공간을 벗어나 새로운 영역을 참조하려고 할 때에 옥트리는 새로운 공관을 표현함에 있어서 실시간을 지원하지 못한다. 이러한 옥트리의 공간 분할 작업을 미리 계산해서 저장하고 실시간 랜더링시에는 창조하도록 하되 전처리된 옥트리가 하나의 셀이 되어 다수의 옥트리 셀을 묶어 쿼드트리를 구성하고 카메라에 보이는 옥트리들을 결정하기 위해서 삼각형의 포함 알고리즘을 적용하여 연속적인 공간 데이터의 실시간 랜더링을 구현하였다.
