볼륨 렌더링은 기하학적인 기본 도형으로 모델링하지 않고, 3차원 데이터를 직접 가시화하는 방법이다. 이런 볼륨 렌더링의 특성으로 말미암아 3차원 영상을 도시할 때에, 복잡한 물체의 경우에도 물체의 표면을 상세하게 표현하는데 유리하여 의료 영상을 가시화하는 쪽으로의 적용이 많이 이루어져 왔다. 일반적으로 볼륨 데이터의 크기가 커서 실시간으로 처리하기 쉽지 않기 때문에, 근래에는 이 렌더링 시간을 줄이기 위해서 많은 여러 가지 렌더링 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 부호화 되어 있지 않은 볼륨 데이터를 빠르게 렌더링 하기 위해서, 쉬어-왑 분해를 이용하는 블록 기반의 볼륨 렌더링 기법을 제안한다. 이 방법에서는 블록 기반의 데이터와 함께 장기의 영역 분할 데이터를 동시에 이용하여 볼륨 렌더링을 수행하므로써, 부호화되어 있지 않은 데이터에 대해 렌더링 속도를 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 X-ray CT 흉부 영상과 MR 3차원 두부 영상을 렌더링 함으로써 제안한 방법의 성능을 검증하였다.

Removing noise which occurs inevitably when taking image data has been a big concern. There is a way to raise signal-to-noise ratio and it is regarded as the only way, image stacking. Image stacking is averaging or just adding all pixel values of multiple pictures taken of a specific area. Its performance and reliability are unquestioned, but its weaknesses are also evident. Object with fast proper motion can be vanished, and most of all, it takes too long time. So if we can handle single shot image well and achieve similar performance, we can overcome those weaknesses. Recent developments in deep learning have enabled things that were not possible with former algorithm-based programming. One of the things is generating data with more information from data with less information. As a part of that, we reproduced stacked image from single shot image using a kind of deep learning, conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). r-band camcol2 south data were used from SDSS Stripe 82 data. From all fields, image data which is stacked with only 22 individual images and, as a pair of stacked image, single pass data which were included in all stacked image were used. All used fields are cut in $128{\times}128$ pixel size, so total number of image is 17930. 14234 pairs of all images were used for training cGAN and 3696 pairs were used for verify the result. As a result, RMS error of pixel values between generated data from the best condition and target data were $7.67{\times}10^{-4}$ compared to original input data, $1.24{\times}10^{-3}$. We also applied to a few test galaxy images and generated images were similar to stacked images qualitatively compared to other de-noising methods. In addition, with photometry, The number count of stacked-cGAN matched sources is larger than that of single pass-stacked one, especially for fainter objects. Also, magnitude completeness became better in fainter objects. With this work, it is possible to observe reliably 1 magnitude fainter object.

물 분자내의 OH 신축진동(stretching vibration) 운동을 나타내는 정규모드(normal mode)와 국소모드(local mode) 진동수들을 비교하여 수소결합한 물 분자에 대한 국소모드에 기반한 계산의 타당성을 조사하였다. 물 분자의 단량체, 이합체, 삼량체에 대한 계산을 수행하여 분자 클러스터 크기가 커짐에 따라 국소모드 진동수, 국소모드의 비조화성, 그리고 국소모드와 정규모드 진동수들의 유사성이 어떤 경향성을 보이는지 순이론적 양자화학 계산 방법으로 연구하였다. 단량체에서 삼량체로 분자의 갯수가 증가할수록 OH 결합의 비조화성은 증가하며 국소모드와 정규모드 진동수 간의 차이는 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 응축상에 존재하는 물 분자들의 OH 신축 진동수의 이론적 계산은 비조화성을 쉽게 다룰 수 있는 국소모드에 기반한 방식이 적절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The size of observation data in astronomy has been increasing exponentially with the advents of wide-field optical telescopes. This means the needs of changes to the way used for large-scale astronomy data analysis. The complexity of analysis tools and the lack of extensibility of computing environments, however, lead to the difficulty and inefficiency of dealing with the huge observation data. To address this problem, this paper proposes a workflow execution system for analyzing large-scale astronomy data efficiently. The proposed system is composed of two parts: 1) a workflow execution manager and its RESTful endpoints that can automate and control data analysis tasks based on workflow templates and 2) an elastic resource manager as an underlying mechanism that can dynamically add/remove virtualized computing resources (i.e., virtual machines) according to the analysis requests. To realize our workflow execution system, we implement it on a testbed using OpenStack IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) toolkit and HTCondor workload manager. We also exhaustively perform a broad range of experiments with different resource allocation patterns, system loads, etc. to show the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the resource allocation mechanism works properly according to the number of queued and running tasks, resulting in improving resource utilization, and the workflow execution manager can handle more than 1,000 concurrent requests within a second with reasonable average response times. We finally describe a case study of data reduction system as an example application of our workflow execution system.

As a result of intensive breeding, litter size has considerably increased in pig production over the last three decades. This has resulted in an increase in farrowing complications. Prolonged farrowing will shorten the window for suckling colostrum and reduce the chances for high-quality colostrum intake. Studies also agree that increasing litter sizes concomitantly resulted in decreased piglet birth weight and increased within-litter birth weight variations. Birth weight, however, is one of the critical factors affecting the prognosis of colostrum intake, and piglet growth, welfare, and survival. Litters of uneven birth weight distribution will suffer and lead to increased piglet mortality before weaning. The proper management is key to handle the situation. Feeding strategies before farrowing, management routines during parturition (e.g., drying and moving piglets to the udder and cross-fostering) and feeding an energy source to piglets after birth may be beneficial management tools with large litters. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)-driven recovery from energy losses during lactation appears critical for supporting follicle development, the viability of oocytes and embryos, and, eventually, litter uniformity. This paper explores certain management routines for neonatal piglets that can lead to the optimization of their colostrum intake and thereby their survival in large litters. In addition, this paper reviews the evidence concerning nutritional factors, particularly lactation feeding that may reduce the loss of sow body reserves, affecting the growth of the next oocyte generation. In conclusion, decreasing birth weight and compromised immunity are subjects warranting investigation in the search for novel management tools. Furthermore, to increase litter uniformity, more focus should be placed on nutritional factors that affect IGF-1-driven follicle development before ovulation.

A variety of input parameters are taken into consideration while performing a Level 3 PSA. Some parameters related to plume segments, spatial grids, and particle size distribution have flexible input formats. Fine modeling performed by splitting a number of segments or grids may enhance the accuracy of analysis but is time-consuming. Analysis speed is highly important because a considerably large number of calculations is required to handle Level 2 PSA scenarios for a single-unit or multi-unit Level 3 PSA. This study developed a sensitivity analysis supporting interface called MACCSsense to compare the results of the trials of plume segmentation with the results of the base case to determine its impact (in terms of time and accuracy) and to support the development of a modeling approach, which saves calculation time and improves accuracy. MACCSense is an automation tool that uses a large amount of plume segmentation analysis results obtained from MUST Converter and Mr. Manager developed by KAERI to generate a sensitivity report that includes impact (time and accuracy) by comparing them with the base-case result. In this study, various plume segmentation approaches were investigated, and both the accuracy and speed of offsite consequence analysis were evaluated using MACCS as a consequence analysis tool. A simultaneous evaluation revealed that execution time can be reduced using multi-threading. In addition, this study can serve as a framework for the development of a modeling strategy for plume segmentation in order to perform accurate and fast offsite consequence analyses.

최근 정보통신기술의 발전에 따라 사물인터넷(이하 IoT) 관련 기술이 지속적으로 발전하고 있다. IoT 시스템은 다양한 센서들을 바탕으로 센서마다 고유한 데이터를 네트워크를 통해 주고 받는다. IoT 시스템에서 발생하는 데이터는 실시간으로 발생한다는 특징과, 그 양이 설치된 센서의 양과 비례한다는 점에서 연속적으로 수집되는 데이터들은 빅 데이터로 정의할 수 있다. 현재까지의 IoT 시스템은 중앙 집중 처리 방식을 통한 데이터 저장, 처리 및 연산을 적용하였다. 하지만, 구축 규모가 커지고 다량의 센서를 사용하는 경우 기존의 중앙 집중 처리 방식의 서버는 병목 현상으로 인한 부하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IoT 환경에서 발생하는 실시간 센서 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 시스템의 고가용성을 목적으로 하는 데이터의 중요도 기반 알고리즘을 적용하기 위한 분산 처리 시스템에 대해 제안하였다.
