In order to investigate effects of grid resolution on large-eddy simulation of flow over a heavy vehicle, large-eddy simulations over the vehicle with coarse grid and fine grid are conducted. In addition, comparison of drag coefficients with the experimental data obtained by a wind tunnel experiment is conducted. Both of the drag coefficients of coarse grid and fine grid large-eddy simulation show good agreement with the experimental data. Flow fields obtained by the coarse and the fine grid large-eddy simulation are compared in the vehicle frontal-face region, the vehicle rear wheel region, and the vehicle base region. Coarse grid large-eddy simulation shows good agreement with the fine grid large-eddy simulation in the vehicle front face region and the vehicle rear wheel region, since the flow over the present vehicle is dominated by flow separation which is geometrically pre-determined, not by the skin friction which is known to be sensitive to grid resolution.

Melanin is synthesized by tyrosinase to protect the skin from ultraviolet light. However, overproduction and accumulation of melanin can result in hyperpigmentation and skin melanoma. Tyrosinase inhibitors are commonly used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Natural tyrosinase inhibitors are often favoured over synthetic ones due to the potential side effects of the latter, which can include skin irritation, allergies, and other adverse reactions. Nuciferine, an alkaloid derived from Nelumbo nucifera, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties. This study focused on the in silico screening of nuciferine for anti-tyrosinase activity, using kojic acid, ascorbic acid, and resorcinol as standards. The tyrosinase protein target was selected through homology modeling. The residues of the substrate binding pocket and active site pockets were identified for the purposes of grid box optimization and docking. Therefore, nuciferine is a potent natural tyrosinase inhibitor and shows promising potential for application in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and skin melanoma.

본 연구는 자동노출조절장치를 사용하는 흉부 후·전 방향 방사선검사(Chest PA) 시 격자 사용 유·무 및 가상격자 사용에 따른 선량과 영상 품질의 차이 비교를 통해, Chest PA 시 임상적으로 새로운 격자 조합을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구는 인체모형팬텀을 대상으로 Chest PA 자세에서 진행했다. 선량계는 흉추 6번 높이에 위치하였고, 조사 조건은 110 kVp, 320 mA, 1.6 mAs, SID는 180 cm, 조사야 크기는 17" × 17"로 동일하게 적용하였다. 물리적 격자를 적용한 상태와 미적용 상태에서 각각 30개의 영상을 얻었고, 물리적 격자 미적용 영상에 가상격자를 적용한 영상 30개를 추가로 획득하였다. 선량은 입사표면선량(ESD)을 측정하였고, 화질은 신호대잡음비(SNR)와 대조도대잡음비(CNR)를 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 ESD는 물리적 격자를 사용하지 않을 경우 약 48%의 감소 효과가 있었다. SNR은 물리적 격자 미사용 시가 사용 시보다 약 32% 증가하였고, 가상격자를 사용한 경우에는 격자 사용 시 보다 약 18% 증가하였다. CNR은 물리적 격자 미사용 시가 사용 시보다 약 30% 증가하였고, 가상격자를 사용한 경우에는 격자 사용 시보다 약 16% 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 물리적인 격자 대신 가상격자 사용 시 영상의 품질은 유지하되, 환자 선량은 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

영 유아는 사건, 사고 및 교통사고 또는 질병으로 인해 머리에 골절 및 혈관파열, 피부에 상처를 받아 병원에 내원하여 영상의학과에서 머리 검사인 전 후(Skull AP) 및 측면(Skull LAT) 촬영을 받게 된다. 머리검사에서 성인 머리(Skull) 촬영은 격자를 이용하여 촬영에 적용하면 방사선 2차선을 제거하여 영상의 대조도를 높인다. 그러나 방사선 노출조건 중 관전압을 8~10 kVp 높게 주어야 하며 환자피폭이 증가한다. 본 연구는 영 유아 머리촬영시 격자(grid)를 이용하지 않고 동등한 영상을 얻을 수 있다면 피폭선량 감소 및 Grid Cut off에 의한 아티팩트를 방지할 수 있어 연구해 보았다. 연구자는 방사선계측기 이용 방사선선량을 측정 하고 의료영상평가 방법 중에서 주관적 평가(ROC,receiver operationg characteristic)을 해 보았다. 결과에서 격자를 이용하지 않고 촬영하면 환자 피폭선량 감소와 영상 평가에서도 영 유아의 머리 촬영시 격자를 이용하지 않고 촬영을 하게 되면 머리 전 후촬영에서 0.019 mGy 와 측면촬영 0.02 mGy 피폭선량 감소가 있었고 영상평가에서도 4점을 높게 받았다. 결론으로 병원에 내원한 영 유아 머리촬영은 격자를 이용하지 않고 촬영하면 피폭 선량 감소 및 영상 아티팩트인 Grid Cut off을 방지 할 수 있고 엑스선관 수명이 연장되리라 사료된다.

In the present paper, flow and heat transfer characteristics of confined impinging slot jets have been numerically investigated using a SIMPLE-based segregated SUPG finite element method. For laminar jets, it is shown that the skin friction coefficient obtained from the present SUPG formulation approaches the grid-independent Galerkin solution inducing negligible false diffusion in the flow field when a moderate number of grid points are used. For turbulent jets, the k-$\omega$turbulence model is adopted. The streamwise mean velocity and the heat transfer coefficient respectively agree very well with existing experimental data within limited ranges of parameters.

For sign languages are main communication means among hearing-impaired people, there are communication difficulties between speaking-oriented people and sign-language-oriented people. Automated sign-language recognition may resolve these communication problems. In sign languages, finger spelling is used to spell names and words that are not listed in the dictionary. There have been research activities for gesture and posture recognition using glove-based devices. However, these devices are often expensive, cumbersome, and inadequate for recognizing elaborate finger spelling. Use of colored patches or gloves also cause uneasiness. In this paper, a vision-based finger spelling recognition system is introduced. In our method, captured hand region images were separated from the background using a skin detection algorithm assuming that there are no skin-colored objects in the background. Then, hand postures were recognized using a two-dimensional grid analysis method. Our recognition system is not sensitive to the size or the rotation of the input posture images. By optimizing the weights of the posture features using a genetic algorithm, our system achieved high accuracy that matches other systems using devices or colored gloves. We applied our posture recognition system for detecting Korean Sign Language, achieving better than $93\%$ accuracy.

Turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics around staggered tube banks were studied using the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation governing a steady incompressible flow, which were reformulated in a non-orthogonal coordinate system with cartesian velocity components and discretized by the finite volume method with a non-staggered variable arrangement. The predicted turbulent kinetic energy using RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was lower than that of standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model but showed same result for mean flow field quantities. The prediction of the skin friction coefficient using RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ model showed better trend with experimental data than standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model result. The inclined flow showed higher velocity and skin friction coefficient than transverse flow because of extra strain rate ($\frac{{\partial}w}{{\partial}y}$). Also, this was why the inclined flow showed higher local heat transfer coefficient than the transverse flow.

The paper presents an alternative way to classical stereocorrelation. First, 2D image processing of random patterns is described. Sub-pixel displacements are determined using phase analysis. Then distortion evaluation is presented. The distortion is identified without any assumption on the lens model because of the use of a grid technique approach. Last, shape measurement and shape variation is caught by fringe projection. Analysis is based on two pin-hole assumptions for the video-projector and the camera. Then, fringe projection is coupled to in-plane displacement to give rise to 3D measurement set-up. Metrological characterization shows a resolution comparable to classical (stereo) correlation technique ($1/100^{th}$ pixel). Spatial resolution seems to be an advantage of the method, because of the use of temporal phase stepping (shape measurement, 1 pixel) and windowed Fourier transform (in plane displacements measurement, 9 pixels). Two examples are given. First one is the study of skin properties; second one is a study on leather fabric. In both cases, results are convincing, and have been exploited to give mechanical interpretation.

In this paper, incompressible two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved for the study of steady laminar flow around a body with the wall effect. A second-order finite difference method is used for the spatial discretization on the nonstaggered grid system and the 4-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the numerical integration in time. The pressure field is obtained by solving the pressure-Poisson equation with the Neumann boundary condition. To investigate the wall effect, numerical computations are carried out for the NACA 0012 section at the various blockage ratios. The pressure and skin friction on the foil surface, velocity pronto in its wake and drag coefficient are investigated as functions of the blockage ratio.
