The development of new multimedia techniques such as 3D printing is increasingly attracting the public's attention towards 3D objects. An optimized robust and imperceptible watermarking method based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Weber Law is proposed for 3D polygonal models. The proposed approach partitions the host model into smaller sub meshes and generates a secret watermark from the sub meshes using Weber Law. ACO based optimized strength factor is identified for embedding the watermark. The secret watermark is embedded and extracted on the wavelet domain. The proposed scheme is robust against geometric and photometric attacks that overcomes the synchronization problem and authenticates the secret watermark from the distorted models. The primary characteristic of the proposed system is the flexibility achieved in data embedding capacity due to the optimized strength factor. Extensive simulation results shows enhanced performance of the recommended framework and robustness towards the most common attacks like geometric transformations, noise, cropping, mesh smoothening, and the combination of such attacks.

Study for toner adhesion is known as an important role in electrophotography. In this research, a centrifugal detachment method was used to measure the adhesion force of several hundred particles simultaneously and to determine its sensitivity to particle size. For uncharged toner particles, we estimated the van der Waals force based on the centrifugal farce experiments. Then for charged toner particles, the centrifugal force experiments were carried out. The difference between the results for charged toner particles and the results for uncharged toner particles was compared with the image force calculated from a model which assumed that the toner charge was located at the center of the particle. In the calculations, experimental data obtained by E-SPART (Electrical- Single Particle Aerodynamic Relaxation Time) analyzer were used. The adhesion force of micro-sized toner particles deposited on the DR surface was found to be approximately 1${\~}$3 nN.

나선 은하의 60%의 은하들은 그 중심에 막대를 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. 그리고 막대 은하들 중 다시 30%의 은하들이 그 중심에 두 번째 막대를 가지고 있다는 보고들이 있었다. 우리는 SDSS/DR7을 기반으로 z < 0.01 안에 은하들을 눈으로 분류한 Ann et al. (2015) 카탈로그 중 Lee et al. (2018, submitted)에서 사용된 Mr = -15.2 보다 밝고, $60^{\circ}$이하로 기울어진 막대 은하 553개를 이용하여 막대 안에 있는 두 번째 막대를 찾고자 했다. 우리는 ellipse fitting profile을 조사하여 58개의 은하들에서 그 중심에 기존 막대의 형태를 따르지 않고 장축이 어긋나 있으며, 타원율에 변화를 보이는 두 번째 막대의 흔적을 찾았다. 그 중 9개의 은하에서 색지도, 등광도 그리고 unsharp image 등에서 두 번째 막대를 확인했다. 이것은 이전의 30개 내외의 은하들를 대상으로 했던 연구들에서 확인된 것에 비해 매우 적은 비율이라 할 수 있다. 9개의 두 번째 막대들 중 5개는 강한 막대 (SB)안에서 발달해 있고, 4개는 약한 막대 (SAB) 안에 발달해 있어, 수치적으로는 두 번째 막대의 강한 막대와 약한 막대 사이의 선호도 차이는 없어 보인다. 하지만, 약한 막대 안에 발달해 있는 두 번째 막대들은 막대와 서로 다른 방향의 타원 구조만 보이는 반면, 강한 막대 안에 발달해 있는 두번째 막대들은 nuclear ring, nuclear arm등과 함께 더욱 발달된 모습을 보인다. 또한 두 번째 막대를 가지고 있는 8개의 은하 모두에서 주 막대를 따라 중심부로 길게 늘어서 먼지 띠가 뚜렷하게 보이고, 허블 분류에서는 Sab(T=3), Sb (T=4)에 주로 분포해있다.

Light from universe is absorbed, scattered, and re-released by interstellar dust before it reaches us. Therefore, accurate correction of the observed light requires not only spatial distribution of interstellar dust, but also information on absorption and scattering for each wavelength. Far-ultraviolet (FUV) light is mainly produced by bright, young O-type and some B-type stars, but it is also observed in interstellar space without these stars. Called FUV Galactic light (DGL), these lights are mostly known as starlight scattered by interstellar dust. With the recent release of GAIA DR2, not only accurate distance information of stars in our Galaxy, but also accurate three-dimensional distribution maps of interstellar dust of our Galaxy were produced. Based on this, we performed 3-dimensional Monte Carlo dust scattering radiative transfer simulations for FUV light to obtain dust scattered FUV images and compared them with the observed FUV image obtained by FIMS and GALEX. From this, we find the scattering properties of interstellar dust in our Galaxy and suggest the intensity of extragalactic background light. These results are expected to aid in the study of chemical composition, size distribution, shape, and alignment of interstellar dust in our Galaxy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate propriety of using SID 180cm at Chest PA examination and to find effect of geometrical cause to the image. XGEO-GC80, INNOVISION-SH, CXDI-40EG detector and a chest phantom designed self-production was used for this study. Images were acquired at SID 180cm with changing the factor OID as 0, 75 and 83mm and were analyzed by Centricity Radiography RA1000 PACS system. Statistical program was used the SPSS (Version 22.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA), p-value(under 0.05) was considered to be statistically significant. In OID 0 mm was enlarged about 2.7~3.5 mm than the actual degree of the HS, BS of phantom in all equipments. Compared with the calculated magnification has been expanded 1.6~2.8% when viewed. The OID 75 mm with OID 83 mm was extended from the CS and BS 6~8 mm range. Compared to the calculated values, the measured values are expanded from 6.1 to 7.9%. CS and BS according to the OID change showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) among each group, the post-analysis only OID 0 mm group appeared as an independent group, 75 mm and 83 mm are separated in the same group It was. But had no statistically significant difference could change depending on the OID (p>0.05), post-mortem analysis showed, both in the same group. Heart sizes appears larger than actual size 6~8 mm at chest PA examination which is enlarged 6.1~7.9% more than the actual theoretical value. We can find magnification of the image because of the increase of the OID due to technical limitations between cover of standing detector and the image plate. so we suggest to have occurred between them when considering the need to adjust the equipment installed by the SID to match the characteristics of the equipment.

This study uses the 'S-align' function to present a reference value of the X-ray tube angle for the realization of an image similar to that of the chest PA image during chest AP radiography. This study targeted dummy phantom and used a 17"×17" DR image receptor. The irradiation conditions were 110 kVp, 160 mA, 50 ms, and the distance between the central X-ray and the image receptor was set to 180 cm and 110 cm, respectively. The end of the catheter was placed at the 11th thoracic height to indicate the nasogastric tube. In the case of lung apex length measurement, the mean value of measurement was 30.53±0.47 in PA. T 0°, TCA 5~25°, TCE 5~15° were 21.07±0.29, 27.60±0.21, 34.13±0.44, 39.86±0.31, 45.96±0.61 mm, 54.13±0.37 mm, 16.16±0.46 mm, 9.81±0.35 mm, 2.75±0.30 mm, respectively. For the depth of the catheter end, the average value measured at PA was 6.70±0.31 mm. T 0°, TCA 5~25°, TCE 5~15° were 15.72±0.38 mm, 24.10±0.50 mm, 29.24±0.86 mm, 34.35±0.35 mm, 41.06±1.08 mm, 48.07±0.38 mm, 12.85±0.25 mm, 7.92±0.36 mm, 3.01±0.39 mm, respectively. The length of the lung apex was similar to that of chest PA when the angle of incidence was adjusted from 5° to 10° in the leg direction, and the depth of the catheter tip was most similar when the X-ray tube angle was incident at 10° in the head direction. Therefore, To change the X-ray tube angle according to the purpose of the examination during the chest AP radiography using 'S-align' function is considered necessary.

The purpose of this study was to analyze fabrics suitable for use as examination gowns to determine whether examination gowns affect imaging during anterior to posterior chest examinations(Chest AP) on a digital X-ray system. Examination gowns in use at five medical centers in Seoul were collected and included modal, tencel, cotton, and rayon fabrics. The selection of fabrics was based on studies that reported fabrics with good tactile, absorbent, stretchable, and wrinkle resistance. Phantoms of five hospital gowns and four fabrics, arranged in overlapping layers from one to eight, were created and examined on a digital X-ray system in both Chest AP examination. The images examined were subjected to a first-step profile analysis, a second-step signal intensity averaging analysis, and a third-step microscopic analysis. The results showed that all nine materials had an increasing impact on the image as the number of layers of fabric increased, with the modal fabric having the least impact on the image in the first, second, and third analyses. In conclusion, as the resolution of digital x-ray systems increases, the impact of examination clothing on the image will increase, and research to find suitable materials for examination clothing will continue to be necessary.

PM OLED is used in many applications as one of the display for the next generation. The most essential problems are the power dissipation and the short life time in applying PM OLED into a commercial application. Many efforts are made in developing the panel and in improving the circuit for expanding the current market wider. The life time in PM OLED is expanded by lessening the power dissipation of the circuit for the magnitude of the driving current is lowered. It is possible to minimize the power dissipation from improving the driving technology. The classical technology, Row-to-Row driving, is that row is selected one by one while applying the column current input individually. The multi-line driving is a new technology which is to select multiple rows simultaneously while applying the column current as a whole. However, the solution of the multi-line driving is NP-complete problem. The efficiency is dependant on the sort of picture and the driving condition. This paper presents the new efficient multi-line driving which is that the multiple lines are selected by applying column current together after grouping the simultaneous driving group applying the gnew efficient muthe coi-line dr coefficient. Bengrouping the several rows which has the higher coi-line dr coefficient, the more efficient driving is realized to present the high quality image and to lessen the power dissipation and to stretch the life time in the PM OLED.

As breast cancer shows the highest incidence among women's cancers, the use of mammography is also increasing as a screening test. Mammography should produce high-quality images for accurate diagnosis. For this, it is necessary to manage the performance and image quality of mammography. Thus, in order to investigate quality control, the present study conducted a questionnaire survey of 37 hospitals registered as breast cancer medical examination centers in Gwang-Ju, concerning their quality control of mammography. In the results of surveying the characteristics of apparatus use for mammography, many respondents did not know about the equipment that they were using. Of the hospitals, 19 (49%) were using film, 19 (49%) CR, and 1 DR. In the results of asking how to do quality control, only 38% answered that they inspected according to the manual. In addition, all the surveyed hospitals had specialized agencies do quality control for them. As to the reason for using agencies, 65% mentioned limitations in personnel, time, distance, etc, and 44% mentioned the absence of machines and materials. These results suggest that quality control is being performed perfunctorily, as well as passively and indifferently as it relies on specialized agencies. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide regular education for enhancing people's perception of quality control and to perform quality control adequately in the presence of Radiologist.
