We tested the capability of the pleasure and arousal dimension-based facial expression synthesis system and proposed the most effective interface for it. First, we tried to confirm the adequateness of the dimensional model as a basic structure of the internal states for the system. Fer it, subjects compared the 17 facial expressions on the two axes. The results validated the fundamental hypothesis of the system. Second, we chose 21 representative expressions from the system to test its performance and had subjects rate their similarities. We analyzed these data using multidimensional scaling methods and these results verified the system's reliability. Third, we compared the efficiencies of two interfaces -coordinate values and slide bars- to find the most suitable interface for the system. Subjects synthesise 25 facial expressions with each interface of it. The results showed that the visualization of two dimensional values into Cartesian coordinate is more stable as an input display of facial expression synthesis system based on dimensions.

In this study, we modeled moving-actuator type Total Artificial Heart (TAH) with cardiovascular system as a form of electric circuit. The bronchial circulation, important for the imbalance between the left cardiac output and the right one, was considered and added to the model. In the model, the relations of hemodynamic variables, just as blood pressures, volumes, or flow rates of each part of body, can be expressed as simultaneous first order ordinary differential equations. To solve the equations by the numerical analysis, Runge-Kutta forth order approximation method was adopted. The simulation software (SimTAH), implemented in C++ as a window-based application program, was developed to display the hemodynamic variables and to receive control inputs from users. SimTAH was evaluated by comparison of the simulation results with the results of mock-circulation tests, in vitro.

Alignment systems are frequently used under various semiconductor manufacturing environment. Particularly in PDP(Plasma Display Panel) manufacturing process, the alignment system is applied to the combining and sealing processes of the upper and lower glass panels of PDP, where these processes are performed in the vacuum chamber of high vacuum and high temperature. In this paper, the XYΘ-alignment stage is developed to align PDP panels. Because of high vacuum and high temperature environment, the alignment chamber has been designed to isolate the inner part of the alignment chamber from the outer environment of high vacuum and high temperature, in which every part of the alignment stage is inserted. As it is difficult to attach feedback sensors to the alignment stage in the alignment chamber, the alignment stage is implemented with the open loop algorithm, where the parallel link structure has been designed using step-motors and ball-screws for structural simplicity. The kinematic analysis is performed to drive the parallel link structure, based on the experiments of actuation-compensation of the alignment stage. For the error compensation, the hyperpatch model has been used to model the errors. From the experiments, the positional accuracy of the alignment stage can be improved significantly.

In this paper the method to evaluate shielding deficiency by gamma scanning test was presented and verified theoretically by Monte Carlo code which is one of the best effective method for radiation shielding calculation. The cylindrical shielding model was selected to evaluate shielding deficiency by gamma scanning test. First, the reference shielding according to the design requirement of cask was fabricated specially and reference values were measured with Co-60 source and scintillation detector. As a result with which calculated the reference values, it is shown that maximum deficiency thickness for lead of true cylindrical shielding model was 12mm. To verify this, thickness of lead was calculated by MCNP code and maximum deficiency thickness was 11.6mm. The experimental result obtained by the use of reference shielding was in good agreement with the theoretical result within 4.1%. So, this method can be applied to inspect the shielding ability for great shielding or cask which the radioactive material is used. To perform measurement more exactly, the further work on the development of measuring equipment to display the results on the screen will be required.

Water quality modeling was performed for the purpose of diagnosis and prediction of water quality in Gyoung Choen reservoir, using EUTR05/WASP Build model. WASP Builder is capable of visual display in window and it has an advantage of updating and modification for data. Field data of 1992, Spring, Summer, and Fall, were used to calibrate model and these results were validated using data of 2000, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The reservoir was divided into 4 epilimnion segments. Water quality system for modeling were consist of BOD, Chlorophyll-a, DO, $NH_3-N$, $NO_3-N$, T-N, $PO_4-P$, T-P. The results of water quality modelling using EUTR05/WASP Builder, a range of the Correlation for calibration of BOD, T-N, T-P, and Chlorophyll-a according to three seasons are 0.63~0.90, 0.81~0.97, 0.75~0.98, and 0.77~0.98 respectively. And the correlation between simulated and observed values for verification of BOD, T-N, T-P, and Chlorophyll-a according to three seasons are 0.93, 0.94, 0.81, and 0.80 respectively. Among the pollutant sources for a basin of the Gyoung Choen reservoir, generated amount of livestock is the highest and BOD, T-N, T-P of generated loading percentage are 94%, 81%, and 95%. So, we suppose that inflow load amount will decrease 50% and increase 50% only livestock about current load amount. If increasing load amount of livestock 50% in segment 2 and 3, BOD, T-N, and T-P simulated increasing to range of $0.02~0.15mg/{\ell}$, $0.029~0.08mg/{\ell}$, $0.011~0.029mg/{\ell}$ in comparison with current water quality

Computational studies were carried out on the opiates morphine, heroin, codeine, pentazocine, and buprenorphine, under the density functional theory. The geometric parameters of the pharmacophore and substituents were evaluated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The electronic structure calculations were performed using the same hybrid functional at the B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory. The atomic charges were obtained by Mulliken population analysis. Given the reported biological activity, calculated partition coefficients, and electronic and geometric analysis, pentazocine and buprenorphine were chosen as models for proposed analogues. These analogues were then studied and compared with the model molecules. The study reveals that the geometry and electronic structure of the pharmacophore remains consistent in the presence of different substituents. Because the proposed analogues preserve the studied properties of the model molecules, it is likely that these analogues display biological activity.

In most pattern recognition and image understanding applications, images are degraded by noise and other distortions. Therefore, it is more relevant to decide how similar two objects are rather than to decide whether the two are exactly the same. In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing degraded symbols using a distance measure between two graphs representing the symbols. a symbol is represented as a graph consisting of nodes and edges based on the run graph concept. The graph is then transformed into a reference model graph with production rule containing the embedding transform. The symbols are recognized by using the distance measure which is estimated by using the number of production rules used and the structural homomorphism between a transformed graph and a model graph. the proposed approach is applies to the recognition of non-note musical symbols and the result are given.

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the applicability of audio-visual modeling for improving the efficiency of rehabilitative programs by analyzing the effects of observing these various models on the capacity of stroke patients to perform upper limb activities. Twenty-one stroke patients participated in the experiment and were randomly assigned to either task modeling, sport modeling, or control group. During 2 weeks of intervention, subjects in all groups participated in the physical practice of experimental tasks. These tasks comprised of a Nine Hole Peg Test, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function tests, and locomotion. These tasks were performed 5 days a week, 30 min per day. In addition to the physical practice, the task modeling group observed a model performing experimental tasks and locomotive activities for 20 min, while the sport modeling group observed a model performing various sport activities for 20 min. Subjects' ability to perform the experimental tasks was measured 3 times, before, immediately after, and 1 week after the intervention. Analyses of the capacity to perform upper extremity activities displayed significant improvement from the pre-test to immediate and delayed post-tests in all groups. However, the amount of improvement was the highest in the task modeling group. The task modeling group was superior to the control group in the post-test of all experimental tasks, whereas the sport modeling group did not display significant differences from the control group. These results suggest that audio-visual modeling can be used as an effective cognitive intervention for facilitating the rehabilitation of stroke patients, and its rehabilitative effect can be maximized when the program is comprised of performance scenes directly related to the target task.

Today, the field that actively utilizes HMD, which is a representative implementation device of virtual reality, is game. We have frequently used interface design using metaphor to user interface of HMD based virtual reality game. The purpose of this study is to find out the metaphor types that appear in the game interface of the virtual reality FPS genre of HMD devices, which is a new medium. As a result of research, the metaphor types appearing on multiple interfaces have navigation, predictability-based, familiarizing, and physical world metaphor in terms of information perception and predictability-based and familiarizing metaphor in term of control action. It is considered possible to construct a correct mental model. It is expected that the stability-based metaphor to prevent user mistakes and the presentation metaphor to identify the identity of information space will be needed in the future.

A thermal management system of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is taken charge of controlling the temperature of fuel cell stack by rejection of electrochemically reacted heat. Two major components of thermal management system are heat exchanger and pump which determines required amount of heat. Since the performance and durability of PEMFC system is sensitive to the operating temperature and temperature distribution inside the stack, it is necessary to control the thermal management system properly under guidance of operating strategy. The control study of the thermal management system is able to be boosted up with hardware in the loop simulation which directly connects the plant simulation with real hardware components. In this study, the plant simulation of fuel cell stack has been developed and the simulation model is connected with virtual data acquisition system. And HIL simulator has been developed to control the coolant supply system for the study of PEMFC thermal management system. The virtual data acquisition system and the HIL simulator are developed under LabVIEWTM Platform and the Simulation interface toolkit integrates the fuel cell plant simulator with the virtual DAQ display and HIL simulator.
