Among photon counting detector (PCD)-based technologies, the K-edge subtraction (KES) method has a very high material decomposition efficiency. Yet, since the increase in noise in the X-ray image to which the KES method is applied is inevitable, research on image quality improvement is essential. Here, we modeled a block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) algorithm and applied it to PCD-based X-ray images with the improved KES (IKES) method. For PCD modeling, Monte Carlo simulation was used, and a phantom composed of iodine substances with different concentrations was designed. The IKES method was modeled by adding a log term to KES, and the X-ray image used for subtraction was obtained by applying the 3.0 keV range based on the K-edge region of iodine. As a result, the IKES image using the BM3D algorithm showed the lowest normalized noise power spectrum value. In addition, we confirmed that the contrast-to-noise ratio and no-reference-based evaluation results when the BM3D algorithm was applied to the IKES image were improved by 29.36 % and 20.56 %, respectively, compared to the noisy image. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the IKES imaging technique using a PCD-based detector and the BM3D algorithm fusion technique were very efficient for X-ray imaging.

경북지역의 한우농가를 대상으로 한우 사육실태와 육종개량에 대한 농가들의 인식도를 조사 분석하여, 앞으로 사육 기술지도와 한우개량 방향을 개선하는데 기초자료로 이용하고자 설문조사하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 후보번식우 선발은 '외모, 체형, 혈통등록우' (39.0%)를 고려하여 선발하였으며, 번식우의 종부방법은 '계획교배를 통한 인공수정' (38.6%)을 실시하고 있어 가장 높게 나타났다. 비육밑소 구입시 외관상 가장 관심을 두는 부분은 '체장' (40.7%)부분으로 나타났고, 비육 밑소의 거세는 '생후 6~7개월'이 가장 많이 실시하였고, 한우고급육 생산을 위하여 '고급육생산 프로그램에 준하여 80% 이상 맞춰준다' (51.7%)고 하였다. 그러나 농가들은 비육출하 월령은 '생후 28개월' (35.2%)이 가장 경제적일 것이라고 생각하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 조사항목에 따라 다소 차이가 있긴 하지만 대체로 조사대상자의 일반적 특성에 따라 학력, 연령, 직업, 가족 노동력에 따라 유의수준 0.05에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그러나 비육 후 출하 시에 육질 1+등급 이상 출현율은 '출하두수의 30% 정도' (22.1%)라고 응답하여 가장 높았지만, 조사대상자의 알반적 특성 간에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

In this work, an improved architecture of two-dimensional digital filter(2D DF) is suggested, and then the filter is simulated by C, VHDL language and related layouts are designed by Berkeley CAD tools. The 2D DF consists of one-dimensional digital filters and delay lines. For one-dimensional digital filter(1D DF) case, once filter coefficients are represented by canonical signed digit formats, multiplications are exected by hardwired-shifting methods. The related bit numbers are handled to prevent picture quality degradation and pipelined adder architectures are adopted in each tap and output stage to speed up the filter. For delay line case, line-sharing DRAM is adopted to improve power dissipation and speed. The filter layout is designed by semi/full custom methods considering regularity and speed improvement, and normal operation is confirmed by simulation.

This paper deals with a comparison between Taguchi's accumulation analysis method and Nair test on the ordered categorical data from an industrial experiment for quality improvement. a result of Taguchi's accumulation analysis method is shown to have reasonable power for detecting location effects, while Nair test identifies the location and dispersion effects separately, Accordingly, Taguchi's accumulation analysis needs to develop methods for detecting dispersion effects as well as location effects. In addition this paper rewmmends models for analyzing ordered categorical data, for examples, the cumulative legit model, mean response model etc Successively simple, reasonable methods should be introduced more likely to be used by the practitioners.

It is important to control the electron energy distribution to have high quality plasma process. A conventional inductively coupled plasma(ICP) source with 13.56MHz power is not adequate for low damage sub-half micron patterning process due to higher electron temperature. Only the pulsed plasma technique seems to provide low electron temperature, and thus low process damage. Recently, a novel method proposed by us, named as ‘Enhanced-ICP’, which uses periodic weak axial magnetic field added to a normal ICP source, has shown great improvement in etch characteristics. changes of plasma characteristics according to the frequency of time-varying axial magnetic field have been observed by probe-time-averaged Langmuir probe.

Competitive power in manufacturing industries mainly depends on production time and qualify of products. The main issue for achieving this goal is to build high speed and super accuracy machine. The machine has been developed in the aspect of hardware. However, applications in high speed machining is not sufficient to give solutions to industries in machining. This research presents a method to improve surface roughness adopting experimental design. This research finds experimental factors which have great impact on surface roughness. From the experiments cutting conditions are found for better quality of machining.

Product Liability(PL) is a legal policy to deal with global competition by improving domestic industrial competitive power and to reduce the cost of defect products. The purpose of this paper is to address the state of the art solutions to dispute on PL, in reality of a frequent occurrence of global product exchange focussing on product safety that is one of the most important functions of PL and to improve solution of the product safety and reliability responsive to PL. To minimize PL exposure, manufacturers should reflect comprehensive product safety and reliability concepts in establishing PL prevention policies. Total PL prevention policies are composed of total quality management and product safety management system in respect of safety design, risk, and reliability. These PL prevention activities should be performed consistently during the total product life cycle, especially product research and development periods.

The proportion of diesel vehicle is very high in this country . PM and NOx emitted from diesel-posered vehicle is severely ;affecting to be air quality . Especially, diesel particulate matters(DPM) including black smoke are hazardous air pollutants to human health and environment. In order to reduce the exhaust emissions from diesel engines, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of exhaust emissions from diesel engines in various driving conditions. Recently, there are occasion to increase the fuel consumption rate to engine power up. So, in this study we have tested a diesel engine detached from in use -diesel vehicle and analyzed exhaust emission by driving condition and fuel dispersion rate. From this results, we will prepare the comprehensive management plan for exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles and contribute to the improvement of air pollution in urban area.
