본 논문에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) 부호화 속도 향상을 위하여 주변 CU들의 정보를 활용한 고속 병합모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 표준화가 완료된 HEVC에서는 병합 후보 리스트(Merge Candidate List)에서 생성되는 동일한 후보 모드를 가진다. $2N{\times}2N$에 대하여 병합 모드와 병합 SKIP 모드(Merge SKIP mode)가 후보들을 공유하며 모드 검색을 수행한다. 이러한 병합과정은 후보 모드만큼 수행 후 병합 SKIP 모드 또한 필요에 따라 후보만큼 수행하는 검색과정은 반복 연산으로 복잡도를 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 부호화 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 제안된 방법에서는 이미 부호화된 시공간적 주변 블록들 및 상위 부호화 깊이 블록의 병합 (Merge) 정보를 활용하여 현재 부호화 블록의 모드를 조기에 결정한다. 주변 블록 정보가 모두 병합 SKIP 모드일 경우 조기에 병합 SKIP 모드만을 검색하도록 하고, 그렇지 않은 경우에는 기존의 병합 과정을 수행하도록 설계하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 HEVC의 부호화 시간보다 21.25%가 감소시킬 수 있으며, 화질 열화는 매우 적음을 보인다.

국내에서 사용되고 있는 가압주입 처리용 구리 붕소 아졸화합물계의 목재 방부제 Copper Azole (CuAz)의 목재내 주입량별 부후 특성을 조사하였다. 여러 가지 주입량으로 CuAz-2 방부제를 가압주입한 시편을 이용하여 갈색부후균인 부후개떡버섯에 의한 방부효력시험을 실시한 후 질량감소율을 측정하였다. 또한, CuAz-2 처리 시편을 부후개떡 버섯으로 부후시킨 후 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 부후 특성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 부후개떡버섯에 의한 무처리재는 40% 이상의 질량감소율을 보여주었고 실내 부후에 의한 CuAz-2 약제의 방부효력을 나타내는 값은 $1.79{\sim}3.32kg/m^3$이었다. CuAz-2의 주입량에 따라 횡단면, 방사단면, 접선단면에서의 목재조직은 무처리 시편과 비교하여 부후 정도가 다르게 나타났다. 횡단면에서는 조재와 만재부분에서 수직수지구, 방사조직의 부후가 많이 관찰되었고, 방사단면에서는 방사가도관, 방사유세포, 벽공 부분이 부후되어 파괴되었고, 접선단면에서는 방사조직, 수평수지구가 심하게 부후되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 주입량에 따른 부후 현상이 크게 차이가 난 점 등을 고려하여, 현재의 CuAz-2 주입량에 대한 적정성 검토가 국내 환경에 대해서 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

In Floating PV (Photovoltaic) systems, PV modules are installed on water by utilizing the surface of idle water such as a reservoir and multipurpose dam. A floating PV system, therefore, has the advantage of efficiency in national land use and improved energy yield owing to cooling effect compared to on-land PV systems. Owing to the limitation of installation environment for a floating PV system, the system, however, has the disadvantage of an increase in transmission distance of DC (Direct current) cables. A longer transmission distance of a DC cable results in greater power loss due to a voltage drop. This leads to a decline in economic feasibility for the floating PV system. In this paper, the economic analysis for 10 floating PV systems installed in a reservoir has been conducted in terms of a change in annual power sales according to the variation of transmission losses depending on the factors affecting the voltage drop, such as transmission distance, cross-section area of underwater cable, the presence of joint box, and PV capacity.

In this study, a novel microwave absorber which consists of a structural part, a resistive sheet, and a low dielectric layer is proposed. Unlike the conventional Salisbury screen, a newly proposed absorber is capable of a range of absorbing performance, from narrowband to broadband. In the case of the narrowband absorber, the fabricated absorber with optimized design parameters has a strong resonance at 9.25 GHz and reflection loss of -44 dB with satisfying the -10 dB absorption in whole X-band (8.2 GHz~12.4 GHz). For the broadband absorber design, the reflectivity was minimized in the considered frequency ranges. The designed absorber showed two weak resonances near 6.5 GHz and 16.5 GHz and satisfied the -10 dB absorption from C-band to Ku-band (4 GHz~18 GHz). The measured reflection loss of fabricated absorber was well matched with simulation results, though the measurement was only performed on X-band. For the Salisbury screen to be capable of broadband absorption, it should be stacked multiply in a structure known as the Jaumann absorber. However, for the microwave absorber presented here, broadband as well as narrowband capabilities can be implemented without a change of the structure.

본 연구에서는 중소기업형의 밀가루 제조공정 및 각질제거용 기능성 비누를 생산하는 화장품 제조공정에서의 분진들을 채집하여 폭발 및 열적특성을 비교하기 위해 실험을 수행하였다. 폭발실험은 Hartman식 분진폭발장치를 이용하였고, 열적실험은 DSC 및 TGA를 이용하여 활석첨가시 농도의 변화에 따른 폭발압력 및 폭발하한계와 온도에 따른 무게감량과 흡열량을 측정하였다. 폭발실험결과 두 시료 모두 활석분진의 비율이 증가할수록 폭발하한농도가 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 폭발압력은 감소됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 DSC 실험결과 활석의 첨가량이 증가할수록 열유속은 감소하고 온도 또한 약간의 감소상태인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 두 시료 모두 승온 속도가 증가 할수록 흡열개시온도가 낮은 온도부분으로 이동하고 있으며, 흡열량도 크게 증가하였다. 아울러 TGA 실험결과 활석의 양이 증가할수록 전체 무게감량이 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 분진폭발메커니즘의 지속적 연구와 보완이 효과적인 분진폭발예방 대책수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Nowadays, more and more subway tunnels were planed and constructed underneath the ground of urban cities to relieve the congested traffic. Potential damage may occur in existing tunnel if the new tunnel is constructed too close. So far, previous studies mainly focused on the tunnel-tunnel interactions with circular shape. The difference between circular and horseshoe shaped tunnel in terms of deformation mechanism is not fully investigated. In this study, three-dimensional numerical parametric studies were carried out to explore the effect of different tunnel shapes on the complicated tunnel-tunnel interaction problem. Parameters considered include volume loss, tunnel stiffness and relative density. It is found that the value of volume loss play the most important role in the multi-tunnel interactions. For a typical condition in this study, the maximum invert settlement and gradient along longitudinal direction of horseshoe shaped tunnel was 50% and 96% larger than those in circular case, respectively. This is because of the larger vertical soil displacement underneath existing tunnel. Due to the discontinuous hoop axial stress in horseshoe shaped tunnel, significant shear stress was mobilized around the axillary angles. This resulted in substantial bending moment at the bottom plate and side walls of horseshoe shaped tunnel. Consequently, vertical elongation and horizontal compression in circular existing tunnel were 45% and 33% smaller than those in horseshoe case (at monitored section X/D = 0), which in latter case was mainly attributed to the bending induced deflection. The radial deformation stiffness of circular tunnel is more sensitive to the Young's modulus compared with horseshoe shaped tunnel. This is because of that circular tunnel resisted the radial deformation mainly by its hoop axial stress while horseshoe shaped tunnel do so mainly by its flexural rigidity. In addition, the reduction of soil stiffness beneath the circular tunnel was larger than that in horseshoe shaped tunnel at each level of relative density, indicating that large portion of tunneling effect were undertaken by the ground itself in circular tunnel case.

Background: Implants are becoming the first choice of rehabilitation for tooth loss. Even though they have a high success rate, failures still occur for many reasons. The objective of this study is to analyze the reasons for recurring failure at the same site and the results of re-implantation. Methods: Thirteen patients (11 males and 2 females, mean age 60 ± 9.9 years) who experienced implant surgery failure at the same site (same tooth extraction area) two or more times in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, between 2004 and 2017 were selected. The medical records on a type, sites, diameter, and length of implants; time and estimated cause of failure; and radiographs were reviewed. Data were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the current statuses were evaluated. Results: A total of 14 implants experienced failure in the same site more than two times. Twelve implants were placed in the maxilla, while 2 implants were placed in the mandible. The maxillary molar area was the most common site of failure (57.1%), followed by the mandibular molar, anterior maxilla, and premolar areas (14.3% each). The first failure occurred most commonly after prosthetic treatment (35.7%) with an average period of failure of 3.8 months after loading. Ten cases were treated as immediate re-implantation, while the other 4 were delayed reimplantation after an average of 3.9 months. The second failure occurred most commonly after prosthetic treatment (42.9%), with an average of 31 months after loading; during the healing period (42.9%); and during the ongoing prosthetic period (14.3%). In 3 cases (21.4%), the treatment plan was altered to an implant bridge, while the other 11 cases underwent another implant placement procedure (78.6%). Finally, a total of 9 implants (64.3%) survived, with an average functioning period of 60 months. Conclusions: Implants can fail repeatedly at the same site due to overloading, infection, and other unspecified reasons. The age and sex of the patient and the location of implant placement seem to be associated with recurring failure. Type of implant, bone augmentation, and bone materials used are less relevant.

In order to evaluate the precision degree of the blocks on the dock, the shipyards recently started to use the point cloud approaches using the 3D scanners. However, they hesitate to use it due to the limited time, cost, and elaborative effects for the post-works. Although it is somewhat traditional instead, they have still used the electro-optical wave devices which have a characteristic of having less dense point set (usually 1 point per meter) around the contact section of two blocks. This paper tried to expand the usage of point sets. Our approach can estimate the rework time to weld between the Pre-Erected(PE) Block and Erected(ER) block as well as the precision of block construction. In detail, two algorithms were applied to increase the efficiency of estimation process. The first one is K-mean clustering algorithm which is used to separate only the related contact point set from others not related with welding sections. The second one is the Concave hull algorithm which also separates the inner point of the contact section used for the delayed outfitting and stiffeners section, and constructs the concave outline of contact section as the primary objects to estimate the rework time of welding. The main purpose of this paper is that the rework cost for welding is able to be obtained easily and precisely with the defective point set. The point set on the blocks' outline are challenging to get the approximated mathematical curves, owing to the lots of orthogonal parts and lack of number of point. To solve this problems we compared the Radial based function-Multi-Layer(RBF-ML) and Akima interpolation method. Collecting the proposed methods, the paper suggested the noble point matching method for minimizing the rework time of block-welding on the dock, differently the previous approach which had paid the attention of only the degree of accuracy.

Inhibitory effects of Maclura amboinenesis Bl, one plant used traditionally for the treatment of cancers, on metastatic potential of highly metastatic B16F10 melanoma cells were investigated in vitro. Cell proliferation was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay. Details of metastatic capabilities including invasion, migration and adhesion of B16F10 melanoma cells were examined by Boyden Chamber invasion and migration, scratch motility and cell attachment assays, respectively. The results demonstrated that n-hexane and chloroform extracts exhibited potent anti-proliferative effects (p<0.01), whereas the methanol and aqueous extracts had less pronounced effects after 24 h exposure. Bioactivity-guided chromatographic fractionation of both active n-hexane and chloroform extracts led to the isolation of two main prenylated xanthones and characterization as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I, respectively, their structures being identified by comparison with the spectral data. Interestingly, both exhibited potent effective effects. At non-toxic effective doses, n-hexane and chloroform extracts (10 and $30{\mu}g/ml$) as well as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I (3 and $10{\mu}M$) significantly inhibited B16F10 cell invasion, to a greater extent than $10{\mu}m$ doxorubicin, while reducing migration of cancer cells without cellular cytotoxicity. Moreover, exposure of B16F10 melanoma cells to high concentrations of chloroform ($30{\mu}g/ml$) and geratoxanthone-I ($20{\mu}M$) for 24 h resulted in delayed adhesion and retarded colonization. As insights into mechanisms of action, typical morphological changes of apoptotic cells e.g. membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, apoptotic bodies and loss of adhesion as well as cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase with increase of sub-G1 cell proportions, detected by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry were observed, suggesting DNA damage and subsequent apoptotic cell death. Taken together, our findings indicate for the first time that active n-hexane and chloroform extracts as well as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I isolated from Maclura amboinensis Bl. roots affect multistep of cancer metastasis processes including proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration, possibly through induction of apoptosis of highly metastatic B16F10 melanoma cells. Based on these data, M. amboinensis Bl. represents a potential candidate novel chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic agent. Additionally, they also support its ethno-medicinal usage for cancer prevention and/or chemotherapy.
