A visually adaptive quantization method of DCT-based images based on Human Visual System(HVS) is proposed. This approach uses the spatial masking in HVS characteristics to obtain higher compression ratio with relatively small degradation in the image quality. HVS is nonsensitive to an edge area, so a high complexity area is quantized coarsely in contrast to fine quantization of the low complexity area. The complexity of an area is estimated by the variance of DCT coefficients of the image. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed method and the resulting images show little difference from the original image in the subjective perception.

The purpose of this study is to compare the combustability of the formed high density polyethylene (HDPE) with the low density polyethlyene(LDPE). That is, the easiness of ignition is examined by using the methods with Oxygen Index(OI) Tester and ventilation parameter, and the combustion velocity of these polyethylenes is measured by changing the size and shape of opening area. As the result of it, the oxygen index of HDPE, in a ignition, is required more than LDPE. Then, the concentration distribution of CO by combustion is increased when the opening area is small, but, in the same opening area, LDPE tends to increase more than HDPE. In addition, as the ratio of height to width of opening area is increased, combustion velocity becomes faster relatively. In consequence, when it is generally considered, the combustability of LDPE is better than HDPE.

본 연구는 우리나라 초고층 건축물 15개소를 선정하여 토지피복특성과 변화경향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 초고층 건축물 외부공간은 건폐지와 비건폐포장지가 차지하는 비중이 평균 79.7%로 높았으며, 상대적으로 녹지 및 수면이 차지하는 비중은 낮았다. 또한 대부분 지역은 지하개발이 이루어져 조사대상지 평균 생태면적률은 15.90%로 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 준공시기에 따른 피복유형 현황분석 결과, 시간이 지나면서 건폐율이 낮아지고 있었으며, 생태면적률이 증가하고 있었다. 반면, 가장 높은 비중을 차지하고 있는 비건폐포장지의 비율은 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 초고층 건축물 외부공간의 생태적 기능 개선을 위해서는 포장공간을 줄이는 방안을 강구하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

연구배경: 본 연구는 지역박탈지수(Area Deprivation Index, ADI)와 우리나라 노인의 노쇠와의 관련성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 방법: 2014년부터 2019년까지 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로하였다. 노쇠는 Fried phenotype을 기준으로 평가하였다. ADI와 노쇠의 관련성을 검증하기 위하여 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 연구대상자 9,825명 중 ADI가 낮은 지역의 노인보다 높은 지역의 노인이 1.23배 더 (odds ratio [OR], 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.37). 기혼자의 경우 ADI가 낮은 지역에 거주하는 노인보다 높은 지역에 거주하는 노인이 1.35배(OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.16-1.57) 더 노쇠한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구는 65세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 ADI와 노쇠의 관련성을 파악하였다. 특히 기혼자의 경우 ADI가 높은 지역에 거주할 수록 더 노쇠한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 건강불평등 해소를 위해 박탈지수가 높은 지역과 낮은 지역 간 격차를 감소시키기 위한 정책적 개입의 필요성을 제언한다.

Volcanic rocks including rhyolitic tuff, rhyolite and welded tuff in the Bupyeong silver mine area form a topographic circular structure which is interpreted as a resurgent caldera. Granitic rocks are emplaced inside and outside area of the circular structure. Pervasive silver mineralization took place in the rhyolitic rock of the southwestern margin of the caldera. Gas and fluid incluson studies were carried out to investigate the petrogenetic evolution and post-magmatic alteration for the rhyolitic and granitic rocks. Gas compositions are characterized by a low $CH_4/CO_2$ ratio (0.004-0.005) for rhyolitic and inside granitic rocks and a high $CH_4/CO_2$ ratio (0.01~0.29) for outside granitic rocks such as the Kimpo and Incheon granites. Homogenization temperature of solid daughter mineral bearing fluid inclusion (III and IV types) and two phase fluid inclusion (I and II types) for quartz in the Bupyeong granites range from 400 to $500^{\circ}C$ and 121 to $514^{\circ}C$, respectively. Salinties vary from 20 to 30 wt% NaCl for type III and IV inclusions and less than 20 wt % NaCl for type I and II inclusions. The fluid inclusion data shows a considerable influx of the meteoric water toward post magmatic alteration stage.

Dry matter production, leaf area growth and total nitrogen changes were studied in Glycine max. soybean communities, which were grown in sandy loam soils controlled to provide various moisture levels, i.e., 5-7%(level 1), 8-10%(level 2), 11-13%(level 3), 14-15%(lev디 4), 17-20%(level 5) and 22-24%(level 6). A summary of the results is shown. The maximum dry matter production of leaves, stems and nodules and the maximum leaf area per unit area were at level 5, but the maximum of root dry matter production was at level 4. Total nitrogen content of the soybean plant decreased with growth, but each level of soil moisture content also showed a little difference. Water content of the plant decreased with plant age and soil water deficiency, especially in roots and nodules. Nodule formation increased in proportion to soil moisture content. total nitrogen content of the soil on which the soybeans grew, increased from 0.23% before sowing to 0.30% at 100 days after sowing. It seems that soil water content acts as a linear factor in the elongation or dry weight increase of shoots and roots until increasing to level 5. Considering the pattern of plant growth through analysis of the shoot and root dry weight ratio, or the photosynthetic organ and non-photosynthetic organ dry weight ratio, the asymptote of plant growth at a high soil water content exceeded that at a low soil water content.

Recognition of banknote serial number is one of the important functions for intelligent banknote counter implementation and can be used for various purposes. However, the previous character recognition method is limited to use due to the font type of the banknote serial number, the variation problem by the solid status, and the recognition speed issue. In this paper, we propose an aspect ratio based character region segmentation and a convolutional neural network (CNN) based banknote serial number recognition method. In order to detect the character region, the character area is determined based on the aspect ratio of each character in the serial number candidate area after the banknote area detection and de-skewing process is performed. Then, we designed and compared four types of CNN models and determined the best model for serial number recognition. Experimental results showed that the recognition accuracy of each character was 99.85%. In addition, it was confirmed that the recognition performance is improved as a result of performing data augmentation. The banknote used in the experiment is Indian rupee, which is badly soiled and the font of characters is unusual, therefore it can be regarded to have good performance. Recognition speed was also enough to run in real time on a device that counts 800 banknotes per minute.

This study aims to examine the actual status of the urban heat island in Daegu by analyzing the data of 17 automatic weather stations installed in the Daegu area. And the results can be summarized as follows: First, regarding the temperature distribution in Daegu by summer time zones, for the 31 days(August 1st till 31st), 18 days showed daily maximum temperature over $30^{\circ}C$, and 11 days indicated daily minimum temperature over $25^{\circ}C$. The day that showed the highest daily maximum temperature was August 5th, which indicated $36^{\circ}C$. Second, about the spatial distribution of time ratio exceeding $30^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, the area with the highest time ratio exceeding $30^{\circ}C$ is mostly the downtown(central area), eastern area, and northern area. Meanwhile, regarding the time ratio exceeding $25^{\circ}C$, the downtown area centering around the central area were high as over 70%, and the outskirts were low as under 65%. Third, considering the temporal distribution of daily maximum temperature and daily minimum temperature, daily maximum temperature was shown around 14:00 to 15:00 while the daily minimum temperature was indicated around 17:00 to 18:00. Daily maximum and minimum temperature were appeared at northeast and downtown, respectively. Fourth, regarding the spatial distribution of tropical days and tropical night days, tropical days showed 77% and tropical night days indicated 42% before and after the 24th and also the 13th each. Tropical days were occurred up to 24 days at northeastern area. And the southwestern area of Daegu showed under 22 days. The downtown showed the 14 days of the tropical night. However, the outskirts indicated relatively few days as under 10 days. Fifth, about the spatial distribution of the average daily temperature range (the difference between the highest temperature and lowest temperature), the central area, the central part of the city, showed the smallest as $7.2^{\circ}C$, and as it was closer to the northern area, it became larger, so in the eastern and northern area, it was over $8.8^{\circ}C$ or so.

To avoid premature damage to the connection joints of a conventional precast concrete shear wall, a new precast concrete shear wall system (NPSW) based on a plastic damage relocation design concept was proposed. Five specimens, including one monolithic cast-in-place concrete shear wall (MSW) as a reference and four NPSWs with different connection details (TNPSW, INPSW, HNPSW, and TNPSW-N), were designed and tested by lateral low-cyclic loading. To accurately assess the damage relocation effect and quantify the damage and deformation, digital image correlation (DIC) and conventional data acquisition methods were used in the experimental program. The concrete cracking development, crack area ratio, maximum residual crack width, curvature of the wall panel, lateral displacement, and deformed shapes of the specimens were investigated. The results showed that the plastic damage relocation design concept was effective; the initial cracking occurred at the bottom of the precast shear wall panel (middle section) of the proposed NPSWs. The test results indicated that the crack area ratio and the maximum residual crack width of the NPSWs were less than those of the MSW. The NPSWs were deformed continuously; significant distortions did not occur in their connection regions, demonstrating the merits of the proposed NPSWs. The curvatures of the middle sections of the NPSWs were lower than that of the MSW after a drift ratio of 0.5%. Among the NPSWs, HNPSW demonstrated the best performance, as its crack area ratio, concrete damage, and maximum residual crack width were the lowest.
