본 논문에서는 이진 영상을 효과적으로 표현할 수 있는 영역 집중 형태 기술자(Region-centralized shape descriptor : RCSD)를 제안한다. 제안된 형태 기술자는 영역의 크기를 하나의 중심점에 집중되어 있는 원(circle)으로 표현하는 방법이다. 따라서 주어진 이진 영상은 제안된 RCSD 파라미터로 나타난 여러 개의 원으로 표현되며, 각각의 원은 기준이 되는 원과의 거리, 반지름, 각도의 세 개 파라미터로 주어진다. RCSD로 표현된 파라미터들은 영역에 대한 정보뿐만 아니라 형태에 대한 정보도 가지고 있으며, 주어진 RCSD 파라미터로부터 복구 성능을 평가하여 제안된 기술자의 타당성을 조사하였다. 복구 성능은 원래의 영상에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있어서 원래의 형태를 가지고 있음을 보여준다. 주어진 파라미터를 이용하여 윤곽선 위의 점을 찾고, 이 점들을 보간법을 사용하여 연결하였다. 성능을 평가한 결과, 여러 가지의 디지털에러에도 불구하고 실제 영상에서도 최대 88%의 성능으로 복구되었다. 이로 보아 제안된 방법은 영상의 형태정보 뿐만 아니라 영역의 크기 정보를 모두 가지고 있어서 영상을 표현하는 데에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있으며, 또한 정규화된 RCSD 패턴으로 표현이 가능하여 다양한 응용으로의 확장도 가능하다.

하도의 횡단 및 종단 지형자료와 조도계수를 이용하여 자연하천에 대한 Muskingum-Cunge 모형의 매개변수들을 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 우선 각 단면에서의 다양한 수위에 대하여 통수단면 및 동수반경을 계산한 후, Manning 공식을 이용하여 유량을 산정한다. 이러한 과정은 하도에서의 모든 단면에 대하여 반복되며, 최종적으로 통수단면과 유량을 통한 회귀 분석에 의하여 매개변수들을 추정한다. 이와 같은 Muskingum-Cunge 모형의 매개변수 추정과정을 남한강 구간에 적용하였다. 추정된 매개변수들을 사용한 Muskingum-Cunge 모형의 계산결과는 무차원 RMS 오차, 첨두유량의 크기 및 발생시각 등 모든 면에서 HEC-1의 Muskingum-Cunge 모형에 비하여 동역학적 모형의 계산결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This preliminary retrospective cohort study analyzed the relationship between the parameters provided by sonorheometry device Quantra and the coagulation values obtained from standard venous blood samples in patients admitted in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: We reviewed medical charts of 13 ICU adult patients in whom at least one coagulation study with Quantra was performed. The relationship between Quantra and laboratory data was analyzed with the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rho). The 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We collected 28 data pairs. Statistically significant moderate correlations were found for the following parameters: clot time (CT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (rho=0.516; 95% CI, 0.123-0.904; P=0.009; clot stiffness (CS) and the international normalized ratio (INR; rho=0.418; 95% CI, 0.042-0.787; P=0.039); INR and platelet contribution to CS (rho=0.459; 95% CI, 0.077-0.836; P=0.022); platelet count and platelet contribution to CS (PCS; rho=0.498; 95% CI, 0.166-0.825; P=0.008); and fibrinogen and fibrinogen contribution to CS (FCS; rho=0.620; 95% CI, 0.081-0.881; P=0.001). Conclusions: Quantra can provide useful information regarding coagulation status, showing modest correlations with the parameters obtained from laboratory tests. During diffuse bleeding, CT and FCS values can guide the proper administration of clotting factors and fibrinogens. However, the correlation of INR with CS and PCS can cause misinterpretation. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between Quantra parameters and laboratory tests in the critical care setting and the role of sonorheometry in guiding targeted therapies and improving outcomes.

본 논문에서는 packet switching network의 국제 표준 접속 protocol인 CCITT X.25 protocol의 성능을 분석하며 특히 X.25 protocol의 유통 제어 방식에 대하여 분석한다. Protocol의 성능 분석은 normalized channel throughput, mean transmission time과 transmission efficiency를 사용하면 이들은 window 크기, $T_1$ 및 $T_2$ 값 그리고 message길이 등과 같은 주어진 protocol parameter의 함수로 표시된다. 먼저 protocol 서비스에 따른 입력 데이타의 서비스 특성과 piggybacked acknowledgment를 하는 sliding window flow control 방식에 대하여 discrete-time Markov chain을 사용하여 연구한다. Protocol의 성능은 link layer 및 packet layer 에 대하여 각기 독립적으로 분석하며 분석결과를 통하여 각 protocol parameter의 영향을 조사한다. 수치적인 분석 결과로 부터 채널 서비스 환경에 따른 protocol parameter의 최적치를 찾을 수 있는데 window크기는 고속채널의 경우 7이상이 되는 것이 바람직 하며, $T_1$ timer 값은 채널의 전송 유실이 많은 경우 신중히 선택되어져야 하며 보통의 경우에는 1초 정도가 타당하다. $T_2$ parameter는 trnasmission efficiency의 개선에 있어 약간의 효과를 미치나 그리 크지는 않다.

In this paper, an epsilon near zero (ENZ) tunneling circuit using a double-ridge rectangular waveguide (RWG) is proposed for the miniaturization of a waveguide component. The proposed ENZ channel and is located in the middle of the input-output RWG (IORWG). The ratio of the height to the width of the channel waveguide is very small compared to the IORWG. By properly adjusting the ridge dimensions, the tunneling frequency of the proposed ENZ channel can be lowered to near the cut-off frequency of the IORWG. For the proposed ENZ tunneling circuit, the approach adopted for extracting the effective permittivity, effective permeability;normalized effective wave impedance, and propagation constant from the simulated scattering parameters was explained. The extracted parameters verified that the proposed channel is an ENZ channel and electromagnetic energy is tunneling through the channel. Simulation and measurement results of the fabricated ENZ channel structure agreed.

The aim of this study is to develop a 3D registration algorithm for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images acquired from independent PET/CT and MR imaging systems. Combined PET/CT images provide anatomic and functional information, and MR images have high resolution for soft tissue. With the registration technique, the strengths of each modality image can be combined to achieve higher performance in diagnosis and radiotherapy planning. The proposed method consists of two stages: normalized mutual information (NMI)-based global matching and independent component analysis (ICA)-based refinement. In global matching, the field of view of the CT and MR images are adjusted to the same size in the preprocessing step. Then, the target image is geometrically transformed, and the similarities between the two images are measured with NMI. The optimization step updates the transformation parameters to efficiently find the best matched parameter set. In the refinement stage, ICA planes from the windowed image slices are extracted and the similarity between the images is measured to determine the transformation parameters of the control points. B-spline. based freeform deformation is performed for the geometric transformation. The results show good agreement between PET/CT and MR images.

The purpose of this study was to determine how spandex wear with compressive band affects biomechanical parameters during a golf swing. Nine male golf players, each with at least 6 years golf experienc(handy 4.5${\pm}$5.4), were recruited as the participants. Eight pairs of surface electrodes were attached to the left and right side of the body to monitor the pectoralis major(PM), external abdominal oblique(AO), erector spinae(ES), and vastus lateralis(VL). This study showed that the angular velocity of the club in EG were increased during the down swing phase but X-Factor and X-factor Stretch were reduced. Average and maximum nEMG (normalized EMG) values of the left AO(external abdominal oblique) were less in EG(experimental group) compared with CG(control group) during the back swing, whereas those of left PM(pectoralis major) in EG were greater than CG. It is more likely that EG performed effectively golf swing without excess muscle activity. Thus, the spandex wear with compressive band played an important role in improving swing performance with injury prevention. This has led to suggestions of the need for further kinetic and kinematic analyses to evaluate its function.

Wind has been a rapidly growing renewable power source for the last twenty years. Since wind behavior is chaotic in nature, its forecasting is not easy. At the same time, developing an accurate forecasting method is essential when wind farms are integrated into the power grid. In fact, wind speed forecasting tools can solve issues related to grid stability and reserve allocation. In this paper 30 hours ahead wind speed profile forecast is proposed using Adaptive Wavelet Neural Network (AWNN). The implemented AWNN uses a Mexican hat mother Wavelet, and Morlet Mother Wavelet for seven, eight and nine levels decompositions. For wind speed forecasting, the time series data on wind speed has been gathered from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) website. In this work, hourly averaged 10-min wind speed data sets for the year 2004 in the Midwest ISO region (site number 7263) is taken for analysis. Data sets are normalized in the range of [-1, 1] to improve the training performance of forecasting models. Total 8760 samples were taken for this forecasting analysis. After the forecasting phase, statistical parameters are calculated to evaluate system accuracy, comparing different configurations.

The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a difference in the Functional Ambulation Performance score of senior adults with or without a history of falls during walking at a preferred velocity. Twelve subjects with a history of falling (mean age=73.8) and eight subjects with no history of falling (mean age=70.4) participated in the study. Temporal and spatial parameters of gait were analyzed using the computerized GAITRite system. The GAITRite system integrates specific components of locomotion to provide a single, numerical representation of gait, the Functional Ambulation Performance score. The Functional Ambulation Performance score is a Quantitative means of assessing gait based on specific temporal and spatial parameters. Statistical analysis of the two groups demonstrated a significant decrease in Functional Ambulation Performance score for those with a history of falls. They had lower values for step/extremity ratios, mean normalized velocity, and greater values for step times, percent in double support. These results indicate that the GAITRite system can be useful in detecting footfall patterns and selected time and distance measurements of persons with a history of falls and the Functional Ambulation Performance score can be used as indicators of gait performance for senior adults with a history of falls.
