Objective: To investigate sex-specific correlations between the dimensions of permanent canines and the anterior Bolton ratio and to construct a statistical model capable of identifying the sex of an unknown subject. Methods: Odontometric data were collected from 121 plaster study models derived from Caucasian orthodontic patients aged 12-17 years at the pretreatment stage by measuring the dimensions of the permanent canines and Bolton's anterior ratio. Sixteen variables were collected for each subject: 12 dimensions of the permanent canines, sex, age, anterior Bolton ratio, and Angle's classification. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics, principal component analysis, and artificial neural network modeling. Results: Sex-specific differences were identified in all odontometric variables, and an artificial neural network model was prepared that used odontometric variables for predicting the sex of the participants with an accuracy of > 80%. This model can be applied for forensic purposes, and its accuracy can be further improved by adding data collected from new subjects or adding new variables for existing subjects. The improvement in the accuracy of the model was demonstrated by an increase in the percentage of accurate predictions from 72.0-78.1% to 77.8-85.7% after the anterior Bolton ratio and age were added. Conclusions: The described artificial neural network model combines forensic dentistry and orthodontics to improve subject recognition by expanding the initial space of odontometric variables and adding orthodontic parameters.

Based on the results of this study, we presented the following policy recommendations to improve the efficiency of operation and management of public cremation facilities. First, we findings the cremation number of all public cremation facilities in Gyeonggi-do increased from 39,918 people before the opening of public cremation facilities in Hwaseong to 55,642 people after the opening, showing a high rate of increase of 15,724 people(39.4%). Therefore, in order to increase the cremation ratio, the policy of expanding the supply of public cremation facilities should be actively pursued. Second, in this study we compared to before the opening of public cremation facilities in Hwaseong City, the ratio of cremation number the jurisdiction area of all public cremation facilities in Gyeonggi-do using the E-Haneul Funeral Information System increased by 19.0% from 35.9% to 54.9% after the opening, whereas it was analyzed that the outside of the jurisdiction area decreased by 19.0% from 64.1% to 45.1%. Therefore, in order to improve the convenience of citizens using the jurisdiction area, priority should be given to the promotion of policies for the establishment of public cremation facilities by local governments that do not have public cremation facilities. Third, through we research it is analyzed that the cremation ratio of the jurisdiction area of the public cremation facilities in Hwaseong City, which was jointly installed by six local governments located in Gyeonggi-do, was 92.4%, indicating that the ratio proportion of cremation number in the area is very high. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the operation of public cremation facilities, the promotion of policies for joint installation and operation of public cremation facilities should be encouraged.

Recently, it is very important to establish and predict a traffic policy for expanding social infra structure like road, because the number of cars is significantly increasing. In this paper, we propose and develop an automated system technology based on vision sensor (CCTV) which can provide an efficient information for the traffic policy establishment and expanding the social infra structure. First, the CCTV image is captured as an input of the developed system. With this image, we propose a scheme for extracting vehicles on the road and classifying small-type, large-type vehicles based on color, motion, and geometric features. Also, we develop a DB (database) system for supplying a whole information of traffic for a specified period. Based on the proposed system, we verify 90.1% of recognition ratio in real-time traffic monitering environment.

This study aimed to systematize the apparel vendor work processes and provide useful information to future employees of clothing export units by analyzing the processes of vendors' manufacturing tasks. A survey of 20 apparel vendors servicing mainly U.S. buyers was conducted on employees of overseas business departments working for more than five years. buyers. Based on the results, vendors mainly manufactured cut-and-sew knit products. Regarding the production method, OEM was used more frequently than ODM. Fourteen (70%) companies used the ODM method. This suggests that vendors are expanding their production method from OEM to ODM. In order to summarize the work of each business based on the clothing production process research results, buyers were in charge of planning products and the vendors were in charge of sampling. Production of materials and the approval of material tests were out sourced. Overseas factories of vendors were in charge of bulk (mass) production and garment finishing, as well as packaging and shipping the completed products. Even though the vendors' head offices do not directly produce clothes, they play a pivotal role in ensuring planning and management progress in clothing production. As buyers prefer direct contracts for cost reduction, the vendor additionally performs the role of an agent. Also, with the increase in ODM production ratio, the work area of the vendor is expanding. If Korean clothing exporters improve their global competitiveness by investing in the R&D of materials and design to enhance the ODM method, the development of Korea's clothing and export industry will benefit significantly.

Recently, as awareness of the need for software education has spread worldwide, the government of Korea has led compulsory software education also. Basic software education in universities has been stabilized through various trials and efforts. However, due to software classes are mandatory, students not only could not have motivation for learning but also have treated programming course as a difficult subject. In this paper, two programming classes, which were designed and managed as a problem-oriented programming class for the purpose of cultivating computational thinking for the non-computer science students, are compared using the lecture assessment results. As a result, in the case of expanding the use of the problem as a grammatical explanation aid and expanding the ratio of major-friendly problems, the student's responses were concentrated on higher scores and the response average improved by about 7%. It means that the level of difficulty experienced by learners is lowered.

Inconel 718 alloy, widely used as material of aircraft engine, has a good mechanical property in high temperature, strong anti-oxidation characteristics in oxidated current over $900^{\circ}C$, and also is not easily digested in the air containing sulfur, therefore, its usage as mechanical component is expanding rapidly. Even though Inconel alloy 718 is difficult to machine, it requires highly precise processing/machining to sustain its component quality of high accuracy. In this paper, general turning operation conditions arc tested to select the best cutting process condition by measuring surface roughness through implementing experiments with orthogonal array of cutting speed, feeding speed and cutting depth as processing parameters based on the Taguchi method. Optimal turning operation conditions are extracted from the proposed experimental models.

If XML queries are expanded based on ontology, broader search may be possible. On the other hand, queries that are not adequate to target documents may also degrade the search efficiency. We try to improve query adequacy by expanding query based on a reduced ontology, which is the result of ontology and target DTD match. The match considers ontology concepts and DTD elements as well as ontology and DTD attributes. Since the reduced ontology can improve the hit ratio of queries and also be successively reusable for XML documents of a kind, the proposed method can improve XML search efficiency.

High Mn steel has been developed for automotive applications since the steel has an excellent combination of strength and ductility. However, from the viewpoint of welding, high Mn steel has a few problems related to its chemical composition. This paper describes characteristics of dissimilar $CO_2$ laser welding for expanding application of high Mn steel. From this work it was cleared that dissimilar laser welded joint between high Mn steel and carbon steel had poor formability due to the formation of martensite within weld metal. In order to improve ductility of welded joint, the method of controlling the dilution ratio of high Mn steel was suggested.
