본 논문에서는 영상의 화질개선을 위해 로지스틱 함수에 기반을 둔 히스토그램 평활화 방법을 제안하였다. 여기서 히스토그램 평활화는 영상의 밝기를 조정함으로써 화질을 개선하는 간단하고 효과적인 공간영역 기반 처리기법이다. 또한 로지스틱 함수는 비선형의 변환함수로 영상의 명암도 발생빈도수에 따라 밝기개선 정도를 적응적으로 조정하기 위함이다. 특히 영상의 히스토그램에서 최대 발생빈도수를 가지는 명암도와 최대 명암도 및 전체 픽셀수만을 이용한 유연한 비대칭의 로지스틱 함수를 제안함으로써, 기존 로지스틱 함수에서의 지수함수 계산 부담과 최적의 계수 값을 경험적으로 사전에 설정해야하는 제약을 해결하였다. 제안된 기법을 다양한 크기의 해상도와 히스토그램 분포를 가지는 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 히스토그램 평활화와 적응적 변형 히스토그램 평활화보다도 우수한 화질개선 성능과 빠른 평활화 속도가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 제안된 기법은 멀티미디어 시스템에서 실시간 평활화 기법으로도 충분히 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We report the results of our analysis of far ultraviolet (FUV) observations made for the broad region around the ${\alpha}$ Vir (Spica) including the interaction zone of the Loop I and the Local Bubble. We employed the datasets of the GALEX and the FIMS, which made observations at similar FUV wavelengths. First, we noted that the GALEX image was enhanced in the southern region where the interaction zone exists. We attribute this enhanced FUV emission to dust scattering of the stellar photons, mostly from the background field stars with small contributions from the central star Spica. While the region is optically thin in general, the FUV intensity did not correlate well with the dust extinction level, indicating that the local radiation field has significant fluctuations. On the other hand, the GALEX FUV intensity well with the $H{\alpha}$ intensity as well as the dust extinction level in the northern part. In fact, the neutral hydrogen column density correlated very well with the dust extinction level throughout the whole region in consideration. The relationship between the neutral hydrogen column density and the color excess was estimated to be ${\sim}7{\times}10^{21}atoms\;cm^{-2}$, which is a little higher than the previous observations made for a diffuse interstellar medium. The spectral analyses of the FIMS observations showed the enhanced C IV emission throughout the whole region, indicating that the C IV emission arises by the interaction of the hot gases with the shell boundaries. A simple model showed that a large portion of the C IV emission comes from the Loop I side of the interaction zone, compared to the Local Bubble side. The FIMS spectrum also showed indications of the molecular hydrogen fluorescence lines for the interaction zone.

Purpose: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using blood flow-restricted exercise (BFRE) or KAATSU training. The KAATSU training method, which partially restricts arterial inflow and fully restricts venous outflow in the working musculature during exercise at reduced exercise intensities, has been proven to result in substantial increases in both muscle hypertrophy and strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the proper level of pressure for KAATSU training using compound muscle action potential (CMAP) analysis. Methods: Twenty-two healthy adults voluntarily participated in this study. CMAP was conducted by measuring the terminal latency and amplitude using a motor nerve conduction velocity test. For reference-line, supramaximal electrical stimulation was applied to the median nerves of the participants to obtain CMAP for the abductor pollicis brevis. For baseline, the intensity of the electrical stimulation was decreased to a level at which the CMAP amplitude was about a third of the CMAP amplitude obtained by the supramaximal electrical stimulation. The pressure levels for the KAATSU were set as a systolic blood pressure (strong pressure), the median values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (intermediate pressure), and diastolic blood pressure (weak pressure). In the KAATSU condition, CMAP was performed under the same conditions as baseline after low-intensity thumb abduction exercises were performed at the subjects' own pace for one minute. Results: As the pressure increased, the CMAP amplitude was significantly increased, signifying that more muscle fibers were recruited. Conclusion: This study found that KAATSU training recruited more muscle fibers than low-intensity exercise without the restriction of blood flow.

세기조절방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation TheraIntensity modulated radiation therapy ; Virtual micro-IMRT ; Intensity map ; MLCpy)에서 세기분포도(intensity map; IM)의 공간적 분해능은 방사선 민감장기(Critical Organ)를 보호하면서 종양에 최대 선량을 주는데 매우 중요하며, 일반적으로 다엽콜리메이터(MLC)의 폭에 좌우된다. 세기분포도의 공간적 분해능을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로는 두. 가지 방법이 있는데, 하드웨어를 추가하는 방법과 방사선 조사 기술을 변경하는 것이다. 물론 다엽콜리메이터의 폭을 작게 만드는 것이 최상의 방법이나, 하드웨어 기술적으로 어렵고 또한 추가비용이 많이 들게 된다. 따라서 여기에서는 추가적 비용이 들지 않으면서 기존의 장비를 그대로 활용할 수 있는 기술적 방법 중의 하나인 가상 미세 세기조절방사선치료(Virtual micro-IMRT) 기법을 구현하여 임상적으로 적용을 하기 위한 예비적 연구를 수행하였다. 가상의 42$\times$54 픽셀크기, 0.5cm의 15 level IM을 이용하여 1$\times$1cm, 0.5$\times$lcm, 0.5$\times$0.5cm(VMIM) beamlet 크기에 대해 비교하였다. 분석결과, 기대와는 달리, 1cm 폭의 MLC로 전달가능한 0.5$\times$lcm beamlet에 비해 크게 개선되지 않았다. 이는 VMIM의 제약조건에 기인되는 것으로 판단된다. 향후, 두경부암에서와 같이 1cm이하의 beamlet 분해능이 요구되는 경우에 적용시켜 추가적인 연구가 필요하다 하겠다.

In this study, the hydrological properties of permeable pavement were analyzed by the experiment and the numerical simulation. The numerical model used was a modified SWMM especially for considering the hydrological response of permeable pavement. The parameters of modified SWMM were revised by the experimental results, and then the practicability was evaluated through the comparison of the experimental and numerical simulation results. In the experiments, three different rainfall intensities such as 65 mm/hr, 90 mm/hr, 95 mm/hr were supplied for 4 hrs, and the hydraulic properties including surface outflow, subsurface outflow, ground water level, soil water contents were measured for 10 hrs. The results showed rainfall intensity effected directly on surface outflow volume and subsurface outflow volume was more effected by ground water level than rainfall intensity. The ground water level and the soil water contents were under estimated as compared with the experimental data except the portion of occurring direct runoff. The surface and subsurface outflow discharge were simulated very well in comparison with the experimental data. Consequently, the modified SWMM could be used very effectively to evaluate the hydrological property of permeable pavement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to -retrospectively describe the childhood sports activity level of Korean adult men and women and to determine whether a higher level of childhood sports activity was positively associated with adult bone mineral density. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 100 Korean men (n=40) and women (n=60) was completed. Participants completed a detailed lifetime sports activity questionnaire and had their bone mineral density of the femur and lumbar spine measured using dual energy x-ray densitometry (DEXA). All sports activities were classified into four categories of peak strain score on the basis of ground reaction forces (GRF). Results: During the age of high school, women and men who participated in a high intensity sports activity demonstrated higher bone density in the femur site after adjustment for the effects of body weight, fat body mass, lean body mass, the level of calcium intake, and breast feeding period than those who did not participate in sports activity at all. Conclusion: These results highlight the need to participate in high intensity sports activity during high school age as a means of increasing peak bone mass in the femur site.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outdoor environmental quality level at the improvement areas of residence and examine the changes of these areas where the improvement process has been performed. The indicators of outdoor space were examined for case study and several improvement areas were selected and analyzed in terms of these indicators. The improvement areas may be divided into two branch, one is a housing improvement area and the other is a multi-family housing area. The results of this study were as follows; 1) Land-use intensity in both cases was much higher than before. 2) Open space ratio in the housing improvement areas was not enough but in the multi-family housing areas was enough. 3) The road ratio in both cases was much higher. 4) Parking space was not enough to accomodate all the cars in projects. 5) Public facilities and green space did not exist in housing improvement areas but existed a little in multi-family housing areas. In order to improve the environmental quality level, the proper residential density such as dwelling density, open space ratio, land-use intensity should be planned in advance.

본 논문에서는 저압 유기 금속 화학증착법으로 성장시킨 GaN박막들을 실온 케소드루미네슨스 방법으로 광학적 특성을 측정하여 결정성장 메커니즘과 광학적 특성과의 관계를 규명하였다. 관측된 스펙트럼은 주로 364nm의 강한 band-edge emission 피크와 550nm의 깊은 준위 피크이었다. 빔 전류의 증가에 따라 364nm 스펙트럼의 세기가 깊은 준위 발광 스펙트럼보다 크게 증가시켰다. 이는 성장 초기 GaN박막의 결정 결함이 깊은 준위 발광 스펙트럼과 깊은 관계가 있음을 나타내 주고 있다. 또한 미세 결정 구조와 깊은 준위 발광 스펙프럼과의 관계 분석을 위해 주사형 전자현미경 사진과 캐소드루미네슨스 스펙트럼을 비교 검토하였다.

This study aimed to investigate the fatigue crack growth behavior of a kind of fiber metal laminates (FML) under four different stress levels. The FML specimen consists of three 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheets and two layers of glass/epoxy composite lamina. Tensile-tensile cyclic fatigue tests were conducted on centrally notched specimen at four stress levels with various maximum values. A digital camera system was used to take photos of the propagating cracks on both sides of the specimens. Image processing software was adopted to accurately measure the length of the cracks on each photo. The test results show that: (1) a-N and da/dN-a curves of FML specimens can be divided into transient crack growth segment, steady state crack growth segment and accelerated crack growth segment; (2) compared to 2024-T3 aluminum alloy, the fatigue properties of FML are much better; (3) da/dN-${\Delta}K$ curves of FML specimens can be divided into fatigue crack growth rate decrease segment and fatigue crack growth rate increase segment; (3) the maximum stress level has a large influence on a-N, da/dN-a and da/dN-${\Delta}K$ curves of FML specimens; (4) the fatigue crack growth rate da/dN presents a nonlinear accelerated increasing trend to the maximum stress level; (5) the maximum stress level has an almost linear relationship with the stress intensity factor ${\Delta}K$.

중소기업이 글로벌 경쟁력을 확보하고 장기적인 경쟁우위를 확보하기 최선의 전략은 기업자원 및 역량을 활용한 혁신을 통해 급변하는 환경변화에 적응하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제조업에 속하는 중기업을 대상으로 산업·조직특성 및 기업혁신과 기업성과간의 직접적인 연관관계뿐만 아니라 산업환경과 조직특성인 지식의 수준이 기업혁신과 성과간의 관계에 미치는 간접적인 영향을 분석하고자 횡단면분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 중기업의 지식자산과 교육투자, 산업의 역동성은 기업혁신과 정의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 중기업이 연구개발 집약적인 산업에 속하고, 석사이상의 고급인력 보유 비율이 높고, 교육에 대한 투자가 많을수록 혁신활동비율이 더 커진다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 기업혁신과 성과간의 관계에 관한 분석에서는 기업혁신 뿐만 아니라 산업역동성 및 기업의 지식수준과 혁신간의 상호작용 모두 기업성과에 유의한 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 고기술과 저기술 기업으로 나눈 추가 분석에서도 유사한 결과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 단기적으로 기업의 지식자산 및 교육에 대한 투자가 혁신 및 기업성과간의 관계에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않으며 산업환경에 따라 뚜렷한 차이가 없음을 의미한다.
