Objective: The purpose of this study is to review research papers on low level laser therapy (LLLT) and to improve the knowledge of LLLT field. Methods: For introduction, laser characteristics, including wavelength, medium, beam size, power, and unit power were explained. In order to understand LLLT, tissue optics and light-biomatter interaction were briefly mentioned. We reviewed 21 Korean papers on laser acupuncture and LLLT on the viewpoint of laser apparatus. Results and Conclusion: We found that the description of laser apparatus employed for LLLT experiments were not fully written. Laser wavelength and power which are the most crucial parameters, were omitted in several papers. No paper had information on beam size. In order to have high efficacy, laser should be used with proper laser parameters. Conditions of irradiation area or acupoints should be considered too. Some future technology on laser acupuncture were mentioned.

Purpose and Methods: Currently, Korea has the lowest fertility rate among OECD countries. It is also true that from the aspect of encouraging childbirth policy, as the use of automobiles has increased, the interest in securing parking spaces has also become more important. However, there are efforts and researches on the supplying parking spaces for the general public in society not to the positive discrimination such as elders or pregnant women. On the other hand, there is a growing need for a dedicated parking space for pregnant women due to the changing social environment and increasing number of female drivers. At this point, proper design of the maternity parking spaces is essential. Therefore, this study is analyzing the characteristics of pregnant women such as measurements and certain actions and case studies of domestic and oversea. Through the analysis of these factors, the following results were derived. Results: First, it was determined that the important factor in the planning of the parking-block for pregnant women was the human body size of pregnant women. And the required dimensions of movement of pregnant women were derived. Second, the dimensions of automobile were analyzed and applied from the most used vehicles in the family composition. Third, after the observations, the status of the parking spaces of the pregnant women and observations showed that the drivers not only the pregnant women but others were using the spaces improperly. Fourth, at certain conditions of the parking spaces, in order to improve the efficiency of the parking spaces, it is necessarily considered that the usage of designated accessible parking spaces can be used together by not only the disabled but also to the passengers who are classified as 'transportation weak' such as pregnant women. Implications: In this study, the researcher will propose the shape and size of the parking-block for pregnant women considering the elements derived above.

선박 거주구역에 화재발생 시 화재시뮬레이션 도구를 이용하여 화재확산형상을 실시간으로 예측하고 상황에 따른 적절한 대응방안을 제시할 수 있다면 화재사고로 인한 인명피해를 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 오늘날 화재시뮬레이션은 해석대상공간의 크기와 그리드 개수에 따라 해석을 하는데 있어, 매우 장시간을 필요로 하는 현실적 한계가 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 화재시뮬레이션 시간단축을 목적으로 선박 거주구역 화재시뮬레이션에 적용할 수 있는 격자크기와 생성방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 선박 거주구역에 적용되는 격자크기는 0.25[m] 이내의 값을 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 single mesh 격자생성방법으로 수행했을 경우와 비교하여, multi mesh 격자생성방법으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였을 때 가시거리 값은 4.3 %, 온도 값은 8.3 % 이내에서 유사하고 해석시간은 약 80 % 감소하였기 때문에, multi mesh 방법으로 격자를 생성하는 것이 해석시간을 단축하는데 있어 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

머신 러닝 및 신호처리에 활용되고 있는 정보이론적 학습법(ITL, information theoretic learning)은 커널 사이즈(σ) 설정이 매우 민감한 어려움을 지닌다. ITL의 성능지표중 하나인 코렌트로피 함수를 최대화하는 성능지표에 대해, 기울기에 존재하는 1/σ2를 제거한 뒤 남은 커널 사이즈에 대해 적응적으로 조절하는 방법들이 연구되었다. 이 논문에서는, 1/σ2의 커널 사이즈가 실제 시스템의 민감성이나 불안정에 큰 역할을 하고 있으며 남은 부분에 존재하는 커널 사이즈에 대한 최적해는 오차의 절대값 근방에 수렴함에 따라 오히려 수렴 후 가중치 갱신을 멈추게 하는 부작용이 나타남을 밝혔다. 이에 적응적 커널 사이즈 조절 대신 적절한 상수를 선택하는 것이 보다 효과적이라는 것을 제안하였고, 실험결과에서 동일한 수렴 속도에 약 2dB 향상된 정상상태 MSE를 보였다. 제안한 방식을 더욱 열악한 다경로 채널환경에 적용하여 실험한 결과 4dB 이상의 성능향상을 보여 제안한 방식은 열악한 상황일수록 더욱 향상된 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

Micro drilling is one of the most important machining types and its necessity becomes more and more increasing in the whole field of industry. Micro drilling, however, has few the case of practical application, because it requests high techniques : manufacturing micro drill, treating chip, producting precise hole shape and progressing machining effeciency. Micro drilling has a technical problem: drill breakage from the lack of drill rigdity and the interuption of chip. It is, therefore, essential to select the proper cutting conditions and the step fed for the method solving the lack of rigidity and the interruption of chip. Especially, step feed is very efficient to avoid the breakage of drill, but bring about reducing of cutting efficiency. The study on step feed must be requested more than the present in the near future. The purpose of this paper is to investigate experimentally about cutting conditions which affect on tools and round errors and to estimate about the effect of step feed as well as optimal step feed size to solve the breakage of drill.

In this paper, we propose an efficient document layout analysis algorithm that includes table detection. Typical methods of document layout analysis use the height and gap between words or columns. To correspond to the various styles and sizes of documents, we propose an algorithm that uses the mean value of the distance transform representing thickness and compare with components in the local area. With this algorithm, we combine a table detection algorithm using the same feature as that of the text classifier. Table candidates, separators, and big components are isolated from the image using Connected Component Analysis (CCA) and distance transform. The key idea of text classification is that the characteristics of the text parallel components that have a similar thickness and height. In order to estimate local similarity, we detect a text region using an adaptive searching window size. An improved adaptive run-length smoothing algorithm (ARLSA) was proposed to create the proper boundary of a text zone and non-text zone. Results from experiments on the ICDAR2009 page segmentation competition test set and our dataset demonstrate the superiority of our dataset through f-measure comparison with other algorithms.

Nanowires are promising options for building nanoscale electronic structures coming from high conductivity of nanowires. In particular, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is structurally nanowire, can obtain highly ordered electronic components for nanocircuitry and/or nanodevices because of its very flexible length controllability, nanometer-size diameter, about 2 nm, and self-assembling properties. In this work, we used the method to form DNA-Nanowires (NWs) by using chemical treatment on Silicon (Si) surface, and Aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) was used as inducer of DNA sequence to modify the characteristics of Si surface. Moreover, we performed tilting technique to align DNA by the direction of flow of DNA solution. We investigated the assembly process between DNA molecules and APTES - coated Si surface according to the APTES concentration, from $1.2{\mu}\ell$ to $120{\mu}\ell$. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images showed the combination rate of DNA molecules by the change of APTES concentration. As APTES concentration becomes thicker, aggregation of DNA molecules occurs, and this makes a kind of DNA networks. In this respect, we confirmed that there's a positive relationship between the concentration of APTES and the formation rate of DNA nanowires. Since there have been lots of research preceded to utilize DNA nanowires as template, so by using this positive relationship with proper alignment technique, realization of nano electronic devices with DNA nanowires might be feasible.

In this paper, we study the problem of how to design a medical-grade wireless local area network (WLAN) for healthcare facilities. First, unlike the IEEE 802.11e MAC, which categorizes traffic primarily by their delay constraints, we prioritize medical applications according to their medical urgency. Second, we propose a mechanism that can guarantee absolute priority to each traffic category, which is critical for medical-grade quality of service (QoS), while the conventional 802.11e MAC only provides relative priority to each traffic category. Based on absolute priority, we focus on the performance of real-time patient monitoring applications, and derive the optimal contention window size that can significantly improve the throughput performance. Finally, for proper performance evaluation from a medical viewpoint, we introduce the weighted diagnostic distortion (WDD) as a medical QoS metric to effectively measure the medical diagnosability by extracting the main diagnostic features of medical signal. Our simulation result shows that the proposed mechanism, together with medical categorization using absolute priority, can significantly improve the medical-grade QoS performance over the conventional IEEE 802.11e MAC.

A study was conducted to improve satisfaction to school food service and to furnish source materials for nutrient education by researching degree of satisfaction of middle school students to school food service. Following results are from the study that targeted 215 male students and 173 female students in 5 middle schools in Daegu. Satisfaction rates regarding taste of foods, smell, proper temperature, use of seasonal food, cafeteria atmosphere, numbers of side dishes, and kindness of the cook in a cafeteria were higher than dissatisfaction. And dissatisfaction rates were higher in quantity and quality of foods, sanitation, purity of table wares, opening to nutrient education and related informations for students, opinion reflection of students, food serving time and gratification to food serving than the opposite. But the degree of general satisfaction on school food service were higher than the degree of general dissatisfaction. Sanitation was the first thing to be changed in school food service, then quantity of food and taste for the last. And there were notable differences between male students and female students in sanitation satisfaction. The variables that influence on satisfaction to school food service were sanitary administration, numbers of side dishes, quantity of foods, nutrient, smell and taste when ranked. And the main three things that have similar rate in quantity with satisfaction rate are taste, smell and nutrient of school food service. Through these followed results, degree of general satisfactions to school food service were higher than degree of general dissatisfactions. But sanitation, quantity and quality of foods, taste, and food serving size were not satisfactory for students in rate. Therefore it has to be improved to enhance satisfactions to middle school food service.

현재 압력이나 가속도를 측정하기 위해 사용되는 반도체 센서 중에서 압저항 센서가 가장 광범위하게 적용되고 있다. 이러한 압저항 센서는 반도체 공정에 의해서 제작되고, 기존의 센서보다 높은 민감도를 가지므로 그 적용성이 매우 높다. 하지만, 압저항 센서를 형성하는 구조물의 형상과 관련된 연구가 국내에서 미비하므로 이에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 과도한 압력에 센서를 보호하기 위한 보스(Boss)와 민감도 향상을 위해 사용되는 매스(Seismic Mass)의 기하학적 변화가 민감도에 미치는 영향을 압저항 분포를 통하여 분석하고, 적절한 위치와 크기를 제시하고자 한다.
