This study examined the effect of calcium supplementation and exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) and general characteristics, dietary intake and biochemical measurements for 45 healthy middle-aged women (40-57 years). Subjects were divided in to 4 groups; control group (G1), exercise group (G2), calcium supplementation group (G3), and calcium supplementation with exercise group (G4). The subjects were 45.8$\pm$ 0.66 years old. BMI(kg/$m^2$) was 23.31 $\pm$ 0.63 in Gl group, 22.92 $\pm$ 0.51 in G2 group, 23.64 $\pm$ 0.61 in G3 group, 23.40 $\pm$ 0.37 in G4 group, and BMI of all groups were in normal value. Energy intake was 1332.28㎉/day, 60% of RDA, so that may be unbalance of micronutrients. Especially, calcium intake was 62.8% of RDA that was very low level. Osteocalcine was not statistically significant but calcium supplementation group (G3) be showed increase. BMD was usually decreased by Aging, but in this study was increased in the all group, except control group. It showed increase of BMD for calcium supplementation and/or exercise. Overall results indicate that calcium supplementation and/or exercise increased BMD of middle-aged women, but long-term calcium supplementation and exercise will be able to more effect.(Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 962~969, 2002)

A 450 m-long sediment section was recovered from Hole U1359D located at the eastern levee of the Jussieau submarine channel on the Wilkes Land continental rise (East Antarctica) during IODP Expedition 318. The age model for Hole U1359D was established by paleomagnetic stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and the ages of core-top and core-bottom were estimated to be about 5 Ma and 13 Ma, respectively. Biogenic opal content during this period varied between 3% and 60%. In the Southern Ocean, high biogenic opal content generally represents warm climate characterized by the increased light availability due to the decrease of sea-ice distribution. The surface water productivity change in terms of biogenic opal content at about 10.2 Ma in the Wilkes Land continental rise was related to the development of Northern Component Water. After about 10.2 Ma, more production of Northern Component Water in the North Atlantic caused to increase heat transport to the Southern Ocean, resulting in the enhanced diatom production. Miocene isotope events (Mi4~Mi7), which are intermittent cooling intervals during the Miocene, appeared to be correlated to the low biogenic opal contents, but further refinement was required for precise correlation. Biogenic opal content decreased abruptly during 6 Ma to 5.5 Ma, which most likely corresponds to the Messinian salinity crisis. Short-term variation of biogenic opal content was related to the extent of sea-ice distribution associated with the location of Antarctic Polar Front that was controlled by glacial-interglacial paleoclimate change, although more precise dating and correlation will be necessary. Diatom production in the Wilkes Land continental rise increased during the interglacial periods because of the reduced sea-ice distribution and the southward movement of Antarctic Polar Front.

본 논문에서는 손을 이용한 컴퓨터 비전 기술 기반의 증강 현실 시스템을 제안한다. 입력 영상에 가상의 물체를 정합하기 위해서는 정확한 특징점 추출과 추적 기술이 중요하다. 기존의 마커를 이용한 증강현실 시스템은 매우 안정성이 있지만 마커가 없이는 증강이 불가능하고 증강된 물체를 조작하는데 제한적인 상황을 제공하는 경향이 있다. 제안한 시스템은 손의 기하학적인 특성을 고려하여 적응적 최적 타원 검출 방법을 통해 손끝점을 특징점으로 추출한다. 그리고 손바닥 중심점을 기준으로 한 최단 거리 검출 방법을 이용하여 손끝점의 움직임을 추출해 가상의 객체를 안정적으로 정합한다. 실험을 통하여 특징점 추출이 약 82.0%의 정확도를 보였고 특징점 판별과 추적 성능 평가에서는 단지 약 1.8%와 2.0%의 오류를 보였다. 또한 제안한 시스템이 가상 객체의 안정적인 증강 측면에서, 효과적으로 카메라 사영 행렬을 획득하여 마커를 이용한 시스템을 대체할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 윈도우 환경을 기반으로 하는 가상현실이나 게임에서 사용되는 네비게이션 메쉬(navigation mesh)에서 곡선을 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 윈도우 환경을 기반으로 하는 가상현실이나 게임에서 주로 사용되는 지형 생성 방식에는 그리드(grid) 방식과 네비게이션 메쉬 방식이다. 그리드 방식은 지형을 생성할 때 격자를 이용함으로 자연스러운 지형을 생성하기 어렵다. 또한 정밀한 묘사를 위해서는 많은 수의 격자가 필요하여 시스템에 부담을 준다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 네비게이션 메쉬가 등장하였으며, 네비게이션 메쉬는 그리드 방식에 비해 시스템에 부담을 주지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 이러한 네비게이션 메쉬에서 캐릭터가 이동하게 되면 부자연스럽게 움직이게 되는 문제가 발생한다. 캐릭터의 부자연스러운 이동 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 구형 곡선을 이용한 곡선생성 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 구형 곡선 생성 기법을 윈도우 기반 가상현실이나 게임에 이용하면 캐릭터가 자연스럽게 이동할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Fractal geometry has become one of prospective research approaches as the complex structure of natural entities is not easily characterized by traditional Euclidean geometry. With the fractal geometry, we can better decipher the complex structure and identify natural and anthropogenic agents of landscape patterns occurring at different spatial scales. The usefulness of fractal, however, has not been fully appreciated among Korean academic societies, especially in ecological and limnological fields. We attempt to address three points in this study. First, we introduce the concept and dimension of fractal and review relevant research approaches, especially with respect to ecological and limnological phenomena. Second, we explore possible applications of fractal to some aspects of geography and land use characteristics in South Korea. For the analyses of fractal dimensions, we used data published in other studies previously and collected for this study. Data were analyzed by a perimeter/area method of fractal dimension for the spatial distribution of global solar radiation and leaf area index, and the movement of wild boars in forested landscapes of mid-eastern Korea. The same approach was also applied to the water channel of a hypothetical river and the shape of reservoirs in Yongin, Kyunggi Province. Finally, we discuss the results and key issues to consider when a fractal approach is employed in ecology and limnology.

본 논문에서는 상대인력 모델에 기반한 새로운 군집화 알고리즘, G-CLUS를 제안한다. 제한한 방법에서 모든 개체들은 초기에 동일한 질량을 가지고, 개체간의 인력에 의해 인력이 작용하는 방향으로 점진적으로 이동하게 되어, 초기 시작점 선택이나 군집의 개수를 미리 지정하지 않은 상태에서 자연스럽게 군집을 형성한다. 제안한 방법을 인력작용과정에서 군집의 수가 자연스럽게 결정되며, 한 개체가 받는 힘은 개체간의 인력을 합한 합력을 사용하기 때문에 이상치에 대한 민감성을 완화하였다. 본 알고리즘은 계산복잡도를 낮추기 위하여 큐브개념을 적용하여 O(nk)의 계산 복잡도를 유지하도록 하였다. 실험에서는 개체들의 움직임 특성, 군집화 모델에 따른 군집화 과정, 임의의 데이타 집합에 대한 군집화 결과를 보이고, 또한 타 군집화 알고리즘과 제안한 알고리즘 군집화 결화를 비교한다.

Previously we have reported that administration of Korean red ginseng water extract (KRG-WE) plays both preventive and therapeutic roles in testicular toxicity of guinea pigs exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Further study was carried out to verify the beneficial role of Korean red ginseng in TCDD-induced testicular toxicity with different animal species by different route of administration. Korean red ginseng crude saponin (KRG-CS) was prepared by Diaion HP-20 adsorption chromatography. One hundred twenty rats (Sprauge Dawley, 200${\pm}$10 g) were divided into 6 groups. The normal control group (NC) received vehicle (i.p.) and saline (p.o.). Predetermined dosage of TCDD (40 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg b.w., i.p.) was administered to single TCDD-treated (TT) and test (CS) groups. KRG-CS was admin-istered (p.o.) at daily doses of 5 (CS5), 10 (CS10),20 (CS2O) and/or 40 mg/kg b.w. (CS40) for 5 weeks, starting 1 week before the TCDD-exposure. Body weight gain, organ weights, and sperm quality were investigated. Decrease in body weight gain induced by TCDD was greatly attenuated by KRG-CS in a dose-dependent manner. Testicular weight, sperm head counts and ratio of sperm with progressive movement in TT group decreased significantly but those parameters were improved by the treatment of KRG-CS in a dose-dependent manner. This result led us to conclude that crude saponin might be the active ingredient of Korean red ginseng that attenuates the testicular toxicity induced by TCDD.

^x This study was executed to measure the user's psychological carrying capacity in the National Park Campsite in the district of Temple Ku- Ryong as a model of analysis, which is made socio - psychological approach. The results are as follows ; 1. Since this Place hart a beautiful scenery and some cultural assets prosperties and lies near the metroplitan area, 67.5% of the user come from the district, such as Seoul, Inchon, Kyong - Ki Do, and the purpose of camping is to appease their stress and to promote friendly relationship one another. 2. Since most of the campers(86%) didn't recognize the injury of the natural environment, the enlightment movement and the public information for the protection of natural environment are urgent. And they thought that the good campsite is located near the stream(43.6%) or a quiet place(33.4%). 3. As the space per a man increase, the degree of their satisfactions showed the tendency to increase. The user's satisfaction were analyzed by three statistic methods, correlation, multiple regression and factor analysis. Affecting factors to the user's psychology by the varimax varimax rotated factor analysis were classified physical arts ecological satisfaction. 4. The carrying capacity of the campsite by the degree of psychological satisfaction of the user was measured. The result was that the proper space for one user campsite was 35m$^2$ 5. The 58% of the informants said that they root disturbed by the overcrowding in the campsite. But most of the users thought that it was not good to control the number of the users. And the 67.3% of the respondents answered that the best method was that we control the number of the users by order of arrival if we have to control it.
