Mahalanobis-Taguchi system(MTS) is a statistical tool for classifying the normal group and abnormal group in multivariate data structures. In addition to the classification itself, the MTS uses a method for selecting variables useful for the classification. This method can be used efficiently especially when the abnormal group data are scattered without a specific directionality. When the feedback adjustment procedure through the measurements of the process output for controlling process input variables is not practically possible, the reset procedure can be an alternative one. This article proposes a reset procedure using the MTS. Moreover, a method for identifying input variables to reset is also proposed by the use of the contribution. The identification of the root-cause parameters using the existing dimension-reduced contribution tends to be difficult due to the variety of correlation relationships of multivariate data structures. However, it became possible to provide an improved decision when used together with the location-centered contribution and the individual-parameter contribution.

In this paper, we introduce motion artifact reduction algorithm for interleaved MRI using an advanced 3D approximation algorithm. The motion artifact framework of this paper is data corrected by post-processing with a new 3-D approximation algorithm which uses data structure for each voxel. In this study, we simulate and evaluate our algorithm using Shepp-Logan phantom and T1-MRI template for both scattered dataset and uniform dataset. We generated motion artifact using random generated motion parameters for the interleaved MRI. In simulation, we use image coregistration by SPM12 (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/) to estimate the motion parameters. The motion artifact correction is done with using full dataset with estimated motion parameters, as well as use only one half of the full data which is the case when the half volume is corrupted by severe movement. We evaluate using numerical metrics and visualize error images.

Particle accelerator has mainly used in nuclear field only because of the large scale of the facility. However, since laser-plasma particle accelerator which has smaller size and spends less cost developed, the availability of this accelerator is expended to various research fields such as industrial and medical. This paper suggests a visualization system to control the laser-plasma particle accelerator efficiently. This system offers real-time 3D images via convert HDF file comes from plasma data obtained from PIC simulation into OpenGL texture type to analyse and modify plasma data. After that, it stores high-resolution rendering images of the data with external renderer hereafter.

In recent decades, as it becomes increasingly important to monitor and research long-term ecological changes, worldwide attempts are being conducted to integrate and manage ecological data in a unified framework. Especially domestic ecological data in South Korea should be first standardized based on predefined common protocols for data integration, since they are often scattered over many different systems in various forms. Additionally, foreign ecological data should be converted into a proper unified format to be used along with domestic data for association studies. In this study, our interest is to integrate ECN data with Korean domestic ecological data under our unified framework. For this purpose, we employed our semi-automatic data conversion tool to standardize foreign data and utilized ground beetle (Carabidae) datasets collected from 12 different observatory sites of ECN. We believe that our attempt to convert domestic and foreign ecological data into a standardized format in a systematic way will be quite useful for data integration and association analysis in many ecological and environmental studies.

요추 측면 X선 검사 시 피폭선량을 최소화 하고 진단에 최적의 영상을 얻기 위하여 유리선량계와 공간선량 측정계를 이용하여 장기별 피폭선량과 공간선량분포를 측정 평가 하였다. X선관과 가까울수록 장기의 피폭선량이 증가하였으며 조사야를 완전히 열었을 때 피폭선량이 증가되었다. 또한 피사체와 거리가 가까울수록 산란선이 증가하였으며 200 cm 이상 거리를 두면 95% 이상의 산란선이 감소되었다. 이 결과는 향후 요추 X선 검사 시 환자의 피폭선량을 예측하고 검사 방법을 결정하는데 자료로 제시되어 의료피폭선량을 감소 하는데 중요한 기초자료로 많은 활용이 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A symbiotic star is a wide binary system consisting of a hot white dwarf and a mass losing giant, where the giant loses its material in the form of a slow stellar wind resulting in accretion onto the white dwarf through gravitational capture. Symbiotic stars are known to exhibit unique spectral features at 6825 and 7082, which are formed from O VI 1032 and 1038 through Raman scattering with atomic hydrogen. In this Monte Carlo study we investigate the flux ratio of 6825 and 7082 in a neutral region with a geometric shape of a slab, cylinder and sphere. By varying the amount of neutral hydrogen parametrized by the column density along a specified direction, we compute and compare the flux ratio of Raman scattered O VI 6825 and 7082. In the column density around 1020 cm-2, flux ratio changes in a complicated way, rapidly decreasing from the optically thin limit to unity the optically thick limit as the column density increases. It is also notable that when the neutral region is of a slab shape with the O VI source outside the slab, the optically thick limit is less than unity, implying a significant fraction of O VI photons escape through Rayleigh scattering near the boundary. We compare our high resolution CFHT data of HM Sge and AG Dra with the data simulated with finite cylinder models confirming that 'S' type symbiotic tend to be characterized by thicker HI region that 'D' type counterparts. It is expected that this study will be useful in interpretation of the clear disparity of Raman O VI 6825 and 7082 profiles, which will shed much light on the kinematics and the asymmetric distribution of O VI material around the hot white dwarf.

Investigating damage potential of the railway infrastructure requires either large amount of case histories or in-depth numerical analyses, or both for which large amounts of effort and time are necessary to accomplish thoroughly. Rather than performing comprehensive studies for each damage case, in this study we collect and analyze a case history of the high-speed railway system damaged by the 2004 M6.6 Niigata Chuetsu earthquake for the development of the seismic fragility curve. The development processes are: 1) slice the railway system as 200 m segments and assigned damage levels and intensity measures (IMs) to each segment; 2) calculate probability of damage for a given IM; 3) estimate fragility curves using the maximum likelihood estimation regression method. Among IMs considered for fragility curves, spectral acceleration at 3 second period has the most prediction power for the probability of damage occurrence. Also, viaduct-type structure provides less scattered probability data points resulting in the best-fitted fragility curve, but for the tunnel-type structure data are poorly scattered for which fragility curve fitted is not meaningful. For validation purpose fragility curves developed are applied to the 2016 M7.0 Kumamoto earthquake case history by which another high-speed railway system was damaged. The number of actual damaged segments by the 2016 event is 25, and the number of equivalent damaged segments predicted using fragility curve is 22.21. Both numbers are very similar indicating that the developed fragility curve fits well to the Kumamoto region. Comparing with railway fragility curves from HAZUS, we found that HAZUS fragility curves are more conservative.

Phytases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the sequential hydrolysis of phytic acid (myo-inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate) to myo-inositols with lower numbers of phosphate groups. Two types of phytases have been identified which initiate hydrolysis of the phytic acid at either the 3- or 6- position of the inositol ring. In the present investigation, a mathematical model was proposed and computed to estimate maximum enzyme reaction rate constants which fit the experimental data obtained by other authors. Although the data points were scattered to some extent, good agreement was found between the model and the experiment data. It appears that the maximum rate constants of removal of the first, second, and third phosphate groups were not equal. Also there was neither a steady trend upward or downward in the rate constants with the stepwise hydrolysis reactions.

Kim and Baek (2000) tested the spatial randomness for he earthquake occurrence in the Korean Peninsula by using the nearest-neighbor test statistics and empirical distribution functions. The K-function, however, has obvious advantages over the methods used in Kim and Baek (2000), such as it does not depend on the shape of the study region and is an effective summary of spatial dependence over a wide range of scales. We applied the K-function method for testing the randomness to both of the historical and the instrumental seismicity data. It was found that he earthquake occurrences for historical and instrumental seismicity data are not random and clustered rather than scattered.

Recently, advanced information technologies have opened new possibilities for collaborative designs. In this paper, a web-enabled collaborative design environment is proposed, where the product data based on STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) is managed in a hierarchical database and the product metadata is used to efficiently search and utilize information scattered over the network. Several integrity constraints are depicted using EXPRESS to validate the combination of data from different sources. The knowledge represented as metadata and constraints on the interacting features differentiate this environment from previous ones. The collaborative conferencing system is also introduced to communicate and collaborate simultaneously among the related designed. As a result, the proposed environment allows the distributed designers to more efficiently obtain, exchange and communicate the design information throughout the design process.
