Let f : (X, A) ${\rightarrow}$ (Y, B) be a map of pairs of compact polyhedra. A surplus Nielsen root number $SN(f;X\;{\backslash}\;A,\;c)$ is defined which is lower bound for the number of roots on X \ A for all maps in the homotopy class of f. It is shown that for many pairs this lower bound is the best possible one, as $SN(f;X\;{\backslash}\;A,\;c)$ can be realized without by-passing condition.

암혹성운 B5 영역의 중심 부분을 분자흡수선 BSCO의 6cm와 방출선인 2mmE 관측하였다. 관측은 독일의 Bonn에 있는 전파망원경과 미국의 Arizona주의 Kit Peak에 있는 전파망원정을 사용하였다. 본 관측 결과에서 얻어진 antenna temperature (Ta)의 분포를 mappin 하였다. 이 두 종류의 판측을 상호 비교한 결과 최대 황도의 위치가 서로일치하지 않음을 확인하였다. 6cm의 관측결과는 star count 방법에 의하여 결정된 extionction map에 나타나는 중심지역과 거의 일치하나, 2mm 관측은 B5 내에 있는 적외선광인 IRS 1의 위치와 일치하였다. 본 연구에서는 다른 분자선 관측 결과와 비교하므로써 H2CO의 관측 결과를 분석하였다.

This study is a descriptive research to establish a positioning strategy of nursing service image, making a perception map on each hospital's nursing service image and ranking construct factors of nursing service image. The results in this study were as follows; 1. The rank of construct factors of nursing service image which were thought important by subjects was the first 'Kindness', the second 'Reliability', the third 'Professional Knowledge', the fourth 'Responsibility', and the fifth 'Advanced Nursing Skill'. 2. The perception map for nursing service image on each hospital showed a hierarchial structure and positioned the first B hospital, the second C hospital, the third D hospital, the fourth A hospital, and the fifth E hospital. The perception map for construct factors of nursing service image and hospitals showed the first dimension : 'Reliability', the second dimension : Kindness', the third dimension : 'Mission', 'Accuracy', 'Neat Appearance', and 'Ethical Aspect', and the fourth dimension : 'Client Advocate', 'Humanistic Consideration', 'Professional Knowledge', 'Responsibility', and 'Advanced Nursing Skill'. 3. The findings of subject's characteristics which affected degree of likeness on each hospital nursing service image to make a marketing strategy were as follows : In A hospital D hospital, and E hospital, the subject group whose hospital dates were under 1 week, education level was upper graduate university, and age was between 40's and 50's, were appeared to have low nursing service image on following construct factors : 'Kindness', 'Reliability', 'Responsibility', 'Mission', 'Neat Appearance', and 'Humanistic Consideration'. In B hospital and C hospital the subject group whose hospital dates were under 1 week or over 5 weeks, sex was woman, and age was 20' s or 40's, having a admission experience on subject hospitals, were appeared to have low nursing service image on following construct factors : 'Professional Knowledge', 'Advanced Nursing Skill', 'Ethical Aspect', and 'Humanistic Consideration'. As the based on above results, nursing managers can use positioning method to develope a marketing strategy for nursing service image.

Three-dimensional video coding is one of the main challenges restricting the widespread applications of 3D video and free viewpoint video. In this paper, a novel fractal coding algorithm with motion-vector-field-based motion estimation for depth map sequence is proposed. We firstly add pre-search restriction to rule the improper domain blocks out of the matching search process so that the number of blocks involved in the search process can be restricted to a smaller size. Some improvements for motion estimation including initial search point prediction, threshold transition condition and early termination condition are made based on the feature of fractal coding. The motion-vector-field-based adaptive hexagon search algorithm on the basis of center-biased distribution characteristics of depth motion vector is proposed to accelerate the search. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reach optimum levels of quality and save the coding time. The PSNR of synthesized view is increased by 0.56 dB with 36.97% bit rate decrease on average compared with H.264 Full Search. And the depth encoding time is saved by up to 66.47%. Moreover, the proposed fractal depth map sequence codec outperforms the recent alternative codecs by improving the H.264/AVC, especially in much bitrate saving and encoding time reduction.

In this paper, as a digital watermark we propose to use a chaotic sequence instead of the conventional Gaussian sequence. It is relatively easy to generate the chaotic sequence and is very sensitive to the change of initial value. The chaotic sequence adopted in this paper is a modified version of logistic map to give the sequence distribution of Chebyshev map. In the experiments, we applied the Gaussian sequence and chaotic sequence to wavelet coefficients of images to compare the similarity distribution. The results show that, as id the DCT-based watermarking system, the chaotic sequence is robust for various signal processing attacks, Moreover, the similarity variance is smaller than the Gaussian sequence for iterative experiments. It also shows a better performance for compression errors than the Gaussian sequence.

In this study, tests of brain waves were carried out to investigate the physiological characteristics of drivers during a change of headlight brightness. The participants were 20 males in their 20s. Twenty-three different conditions combining the waveform of light, voltage, and alteration time were used. The measurement of brain waves was performed by an internationally standardized 10-20 method using LXE3232-RF. The results were as follows. 1. From the results of the brain wave map analysis, it was suggested that waveform A increases mental stress and waveform B affects mental and visual stress. The longer the stimulation time, the more stress level was detected. 2. The voltage alteration time of the B waveform should be kept to less than 1500msec, while the voltage should not fall below 11.5[V].

In this paper, we propose a reversible watermarking method to recover an original image after the watermark has been extracted. Most watermarking algorithms cause degradation of image quality in original digital content in the process of embedding watermark. In the proposed algorithm, the original image can be obtained when the degradation is removed from the watermarked image after extracting watermark information. In the proposed method, we utilize histogram shifting concept and Location Map structure. We could solve the Filp-Flop problem by using Location Map structure and enlarge the information embedding capacity by embedding recursively. Experimental results demonstrate that the embedding information as large as 120k bits can be realized while the invisibility as high as 41dB can be maintained.

We design a crisscrossed double-layer birdcage (DLBC) coil by modifying the coil geometry of a standard single-layer BC (SLBC) coil to enhance the homogeneity of transmitting magnetic flux density ($B_1{^+}$) along the main magnetic field ($B_0$)-direction for small-animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 300 MHz. The performance assessment of the crisscrossed DLBC coil is conducted by computational analysis with the finite-difference time domain method (FDTD) and compared with SLBC coil in terms of the $B_1$ and the $B_1{^+}$ distribution. As per the computational calculation studies, the mean value in the two-dimensional $B_1{^+}$ map obtained at the mid-axial slice with the proposed DLBC coil is slightly lower than that obtained with the SLBC coil, but the $B_1{^+}$ value of the DLBC coil in the outermost plane (40 mm away from the central plane) shows improvements of 19.3% and 24.8% over the SLBC coil $B_1{^+}$ value when simulating a spherical phantom and realistic mouse body modeling. These simulation results indicate that, the $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity along the z-direction was improved by using DLBC configuration. Our approach enables $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity improvement along the zdirection, and it can also be applied to ultra-high field (UHF) MRI systems.
