본 논문에서는 효율적인 압축 기법과 멀티미디어를 위한 다 해상도 3D 얼굴 모델 전송, 그리고 저비트율 응용에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 일반적으로 얼굴 모델은 3D 레이저 디지타이저에 의해서 얻어지게 되고 애니메이션, 비디오게임, 비디오 회의와 같은 응용 범위에 따라 여러 해상도로 재양자화 되어진다. 3D 디지털화된 얼굴 모델을 정합하고 재양자화 하기 위해서 2D 템플릿을 변형함으로써 압축 모델을 얻을 수 있다. 현재까지의 연구에서 다섯 가지 해상도로 계층적 2D 얼굴 와이어프레임 템플릿을 만들었다. 변형 과정에서 2D 템플릿은 얼굴 특징점과 제안된 PCAT(piecewise chainlet affine transformation)에 의해 바뀌게 된다. 재양자화된 후 3D 디지털화된 모델은 인지하지 못할 정도로 손실이 줄어들게 된다. 더욱이, 본 논문에서 제안한 계층적 데이터 구조를 갖는 다 해상도 얼굴모델은 통신망에서 점진적으로 알려지고 사용되어질 것이다.

The tube outward local buckling of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) beam under high compression stress is still considered a critical problem, especially for steel tubes with a slender section compared to semi-compact and compact sections. In this study, the flexural performance of stiffened slender cold-formed square tube beams filled with normal concrete was investigated. Fourteen (14) simply supported CFST specimens were tested under static bending loads, stiffened with different shapes and numbers of steel stiffeners that were provided at the inner sides of the tubes. Additional finite element (FE) CFST models were developed to further investigate the influence of using internal stiffeners with varied thickness. The results of tests and FE analyses indicated that the onset of local buckling, that occurs at the top half of the stiffened CFST beam's cross-section at mid-span was substantially restricted to a smaller region. Generally, it was also observed that, due to increased steel area provided by the stiffeners, the bending capacity, flexural stiffness and energy absorption index of the stiffened beams were significantly improved. The average bending capacity and the initial flexural stiffness of the stiffened specimens for the various shapes, single stiffener situations have increased of about 25% and 39%, respectively. These improvements went up to 45% and 60%, for the double stiffeners situations. Moreover, the bending capacity and the flexural stiffness values obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses validated well with the values computed from equations of the existing standards.

Real-time monitoring of stiffness and strength in cement based system has received significant attention in past few decades owing to the development of advanced techniques. Also, use of environment friendly supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in cement, though gaining huge interest, severely affect the strength gain especially in early ages. Continuous monitoring of strength- and stiffness- gain using an efficient technique will systematically facilitate to choose the suitable time of removal of formwork for structures made with SCM incorporated concrete. This paper presents a technique for monitoring the strength and stiffness evolution in hydrating fly ash blended cement systems using electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) based technique. It is important to observe that the slower pozzolanic reactivity of fly ash blended cement systems could be effectively tracked using the evolution of equivalent local stiffness of the hydrating medium. Strength prediction models are proposed for estimating the strength and stiffness of the fly ash cement system, where curing age (in terms of hours/days) and the percentage replacement of cement by fly ash are the parameters. Evaluation of strength as obtained from EMI characteristics is validated with the results from destructive compression test and also compared with the same obtained from commonly used ultrasonic wave velocity (UPV). Statistical error indices indicate that the EMI technique is capable of predicting the strength of fly ash blended cement system more accurate than that from UPV. Further, the correlations between stiffness- and strength- gain over the time of hydration are also established. From the study, it is found that EMI based method can be effectively used for monitoring of strength gain in the fly ash incorporated cement system during hardening.

본 연구에서는 전처리 공정을 거친 천연가스로부터 에탄 이상의 성분을 회수하기 위한 탈메탄탑에 대한 전산모사와 공정 최적화를 수행하였다. 전처리된 천연가스는 탈메탄탑 상부의 차가운 기상류와의 열교환 및 프로판 냉동 사이클이 포함된 예냉공정을 거친 후에 기상과 액상이 분리된다. 기상은 터보 팽창기를 거치면서 생산되는 동력을 residue gas의 압력을 높이기 위한 압축기에 전달한 후에 부분적으로 응축되어 탈메탄탑 상부로 주입된다. 액상류는 줄-톰슨 팽창 밸브를 거친 후 더욱 냉각되어 탈메탄탑의 중간부로 주입된다. 원료 대비 에탄의 회수율은 80% 이상으로 정하였으며, 탈메탄탑의 탑저에서 에탄에 대한 메탄의 몰비는 0.0119로 정하였다. 한편 프로판 냉동 사이클의 heat duty를 최소화시키기 위해서 원료를 분리하여 side reboiler와 열교환시킴으로써 냉열의 일부를 회수할 수 있었다.

A series of simulated reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) tests on irradiated fully recrystallized boiling water reactor Zircaloy-2 cladding has been performed by means of the expansion-due-to-compression (EDC) test method. The EDC method reproduces fuel pellet-clad mechanical interaction (PCMI) conditions for the cladding during RIA transients with respect to temperature and loading rates by out-of-pile mechanical testing. The tested materials had a large variation in burnup and hydrogen content (up to 907 wppm). The results of the EDC tests showed variation in the PCMI resistance of claddings with similar burnup and hydrogen content, making it difficult to clearly identify ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures. The EDC-tested samples of the present and previous work were investigated by light optical and scanning electron microscopy to study the influence of factors such as azimuthal variation of the Zr-hydrides and the presence of hydride rims and radially oriented hydrides. Two main characteristics were identified in samples with low ductility with respect to hydrogen content and test temperature: hydride rims and radial hydrides at the cladding outer surface. Crack propagation and failure modes were also studied, showing two general modes of crack propagation depending on distribution and amount of radially oriented hydrides. It was concluded that the PCMI resistance of irradiated cladding under normal conditions with homogenously distributed circumferential hydrides is high, with good margin to the RIA failure limits. To further improve safety, focus should be on conditions causing nonfavorable hydride distribution, such as hydride reorientation and formation of hydride blisters at the cladding outer surface.

Purpose: Schwannoma, a benign peripheral nerve tumor, is slow-growing, encapsulated neoplasm that originates from the Schwann cell of the nerve sheath. Schwannoma most frequently involves the major nerve. Schwannoma occurring in the superficial radial nerve rare. This is a report of our experience with schwannoma arising from the superficial radial nerve with neurologic symptom. Methods: A 55-year-old woman presented with eight-month history of progressive numbness and paresthesia in dorsum of the thumb and index finger. Physical examination revealed a localized mass on the midforearm. Sonographic examination showed an ovoid, heterogenous, hypoechoic lesion, located eccentrically in related to the superficial radial nerve. The lesion was mobile in the transverse but not in the longitudinal axis of the nerve, which was thought to favour schwannoma rather than neurofibroma. At operation, a $20{\times}15mm$ ovoid, yellowish grey mass was seen arising from the superficial radial nerve. The tumor present as eccentric masses over which the nerve fibers are splayed. Using operating microscope, the tumor was removed, preserving the surrounding nerve. Results: Histology confirmed that the mass was a benign schwannoma. There were no postoperative complications. After two months the patient had no clinically demonstrable sensory deficit. Conclusion: An unsusual case of a schwannoma of the superficial radial nerve is presented. In case with neurologic symptom, prompt surgical decompression must be made to prevent further nerve damage and to restore nerve function early.

본 연구에서는 피스톤운동을 톱날파로 근사하였을 때 단열된 실린더를 갖는 스터링기관에 대한 해석적인 해를 구하고자 한다. 실제기관에서 피스톤운동은 기구 학적 구동기구에 따라 상이하지만 대략적으로 정현파가 되며, 이 경우에는 해석적인 해가 존재하지 않으므로 수학적으로 구간선형적인 톱날파로 근사하였다. 비록 이러 한 근사를 도입한 단열해석이라 하더라도 해석적인 해가 존재한다면 등온해석보다는 기관성능의 예측에 더욱 적합함은 당연하다.

Objectives : There are many kinds of method to evaluate neural decompression during operation. They are direct visual and manual inspection, intraoperative ultrasound, endoscope, intraoperative computed tomography and intraoperative myelography. We used intraoperative myelography to evaluate the proper decompression of neural elements during the decompressive surgery. Methods : We injected 10-20cc of nonionic water-soluble contrast materials through direct puncture site of exposed dura during operation or lower lumbar level or lumbar drain inserted preoperatively. 12 patients were included in this study. They were 7 patients of centrally herniated lumbar disc disease, 1 patient of multiple lumbar spinal stenosis, 2 patients of thoracic extradural tumor and 2 cervical fracture & dislocations. Results : 5 of 12 patients showed remained neural compression through intraoperative myelography, so they were operated further through other approach. Myelographic dye is heavier than CSF, so the dependent side of subarachnoid space was visualized only. In one case, CSF leakage through hemovac was detected, but it was treated only bed rest for 5 days after hemovac removal. Conclusion :Intraoperative myelography is an effective method to evaluate neural decompression during spinal surgery. This technique is easy and familiar to us, neurosurgeons.
