  • Astronomical positioning has been carried out from the past by using Sextant. The St. Hilaire method was mainly used by Nautical Almanac and Sight Reduction Tables For Marine Navigation. In modern times, it has been able to use the LOP(Line of Position) method smoothly by combining with IT technology. However, in comparison with the past method, the LOP method always shows two positions, True Position and False Position, which must be distinguished by the navigator. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a method of using the azimuth to remove the false position generated by the LOP method. In particular, the theoretical considerations using azimuth are presented in various ways, and the validity of the theoretical considerations is confirmed. Simulations are presented to confirm that the theoretical basis of the thesis is valid.

  • Objective: To perform a meta-analysis to quantitatively assess functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2016. Diagnostic accuracy was quantitatively pooled for all studies by using hierarchical logistic regression modeling, including bivariate modeling and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) curves (AUCs). The Z test was used to determine whether adding functional MRI to T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) results in significantly increased diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Results: Meta-analysis of 13 studies involving 826 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy showed a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 91%, and the AUC was 0.96. Meta-analysis of 7 studies involving 329 patients who underwent radiotherapy showed a pooled sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 81%, and the AUC was 0.88. Meta-analysis of 11 studies reporting 1669 sextant biopsies from patients who underwent radiotherapy showed a pooled sensitivity of 54% and specificity of 91%, and the AUC was 0.85. Sensitivity after radiotherapy was significantly higher when diffusion-weighted MRI data were combined with T2WI than when only T2WI results were used. This was true when meta-analysis was performed on a per-patient basis (p = 0.027) or per sextant biopsy (p = 0.046). A similar result was found when $^1H$-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1H$-MRS) data were combined with T2WI and sextant biopsy was the unit of analysis (p = 0.036). Conclusion: Functional MRI data may not strengthen the ability of T2WI to detect locally recurrent prostate cancer in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy. By contrast, diffusion-weight MRI and $^1H$-MRS data may improve the sensitivity of T2WI for patients who have undergone radiotherapy.

  • When a Ship sails in the ocean, it is significant to find one's position for safe navigation. Most of ships have been using GPS navigation since its development after 1990's. The celestial navigation was used as the navigation method when sailing in the ocean, but time-consuming process such as complicated calculation and plotting the result on chart diminished its utilization. The thesis explains convenience and utilization of existing celestial navigation by resolving challenges it has. As a way of enhancing the celestial navigation, the author developed a software which incudes a numerical formula based on the previous calculation process. When a navigator inputs the altitude of sun, GHA and dec into computer while sailing, the position of the ship will be displayed as the coordinates. The improved method thus reaffirmed the usefulness of the celestial navigation and will greatly serve as means of navigation in the occurrence of distress. Abstract should be placed here.

  • Local monitoring is an effective technique in securing data of wireless sensor networks. Existing solutions require high communication cost for detecting false data and this results in a network lifetime being shortened. This paper proposes novel techniques of monitoring based secure data aggregation and filtering false data in wireless sensor networks. The aim is to reduce energy consumption in securing data aggregation. An aggregator and its monitoring node perform data aggregation in a 60o sextant cluster. By checking Message Authentication Codes (MAC), aggregation data will be dropped by a forward aggregator if data aggregated by the aggregator and data monitored by the monitoring node are inconsistent. The simulation shows that the proposed protocol can reduce the amount of average energy consumption about 64% when comparing with the Data Aggregation and Authentication protocol (DAA)[1]. Additionally, the network lifetime of the proposed protocol is 283% longer than that of DAA without any decline in data integrity.

  • The computer can be used to display a continuously updated list or plot of vessel position. The computer that accept input data from a number of different navigation systems, e.g., Loran , Satnav, Radar, Decca, Compass, Sextant with electrical output etc., can compute the position of a vessel relative to prerecorded objects. The celestial navigation system requires the computer to do not much calculation. Calculation are for trigonometeric, linear systems, finding roots of nonlinear equation and least square estimation etc, . In order to computerize the celestrial navigation system, these calculations must be programmed. The purpose of this thesis is to study the formulation, the design and the test of calculations of the coordinates of celestial bodies, the altitude correction and the solution of the navigational triangle processes.

  • This paper concerns computerization of the altitude correction in the sight reduction process. To obtain observed altitude, the factors such as refraction, parallx, semidiameter, phase etc, are corrected to sextant altitude. The factors are the arguments into the nautical almanac table from which are extracted values to add to or substract from the raw sight to obtain corrected value. If the altitude correction is to be done by sophisticated calculator, each factors must be formulated. The author studies the formulation of above factors, and simply from the date and ephemeris time of the sighting calculate the values of the factors. The calculated values are compared with that from nautical almanac, and it is confirmed that the formulae are practically used.

  • This paper deals with a mathematical model which explains process of aquisition or skillfulness of human. Especially, in the case of determinating a ship's position, a degree of aquisitiion or skillfulness has a significant meaning in the view point of reliability of a data because it is closely connected with the position error. In this paper, the authors have obtained the following mathematical model, who analyzed quantitavely the data obtained by a process of measuring the horizontal sextant angles and extracted the factors or parameters affecting the process of aquisition or skillfulness of human. Namely, $H=Me^{-iN}$ M : the coefficiency which represent the degree of difficulty in measuring the object i : personal parameter N : the number of measurements

  • The position fixing is the first essential in any offshore activity. At sea, position is almost always related to fixed points on land. The traditional method of the position fixing of a vessel is by double horizontal sextant angles observed between three fixed stations, plotted as a graphical resection using station pointers. Of recent, offshore fixing progresses in simple object of navigation and fishery, and it is tending to use and develop ocean and coast compositly. Therefore, we compared and analyzed deviation of fixed point for more accurate offshore fixing. This paper used only navigation instruments such as NNSS, Loran-C, Omega involved in long range and world wide among the methods of E. P. F. (Electromagnetic Position Fixing).
