The necessity of research on extracting information of face and facial components in animation characters have been increasing since they can effectively express the emotion and personality of characters. In this paper, we introduce a method to extract face and facial components of animation characters by defining a mesh model adequate for characters and by using dominant colors. The suggested algorithm first generates a mesh model for animation characters, and extracts dominant colors for face and facial components by adapting the mesh model to the face of a model character. Then, using the dominant colors, we extract candidate areas of the face and facial components from input images and verify if the extracted areas are real face or facial components by means of color similarity measure. The experimental results show that our method can reliably detect face and facial components of animation characters.

Cube texture를 갖는 Ni기판위에 MOCVD(Metal Chemical Vapor Deposition)를 이용하여 NiO, CeO$_2$, YBCO 박막을 제조하였다. NiO(200)와 CeO$_2$(200) buffer layer는 450${\sim}$470$^{\circ}$C에서 10분간 MOCVD방법으로 (100)<001>Ni 기판위에 직접 증착하였다. 제조된 NiO, CeO$_2$ buffer layer는 조직이 치밀하며 표면의 상태가 매우 좋으며 Ni기판 위에 epitaxial하게 성장하였다. NiO는 Ni기판과 NiO<100>//Ni<100>의 방위관계를 가지고 성장하였으며, CeO$_2$는 증착조건에 따라 CeO$_2$ <100>//Ni<100> 및 CeO$_2$ <110>//Ni<100> 의 방위관계를 가지고 성장하였다. 증착된 NiO막과 CeO$_2$막에서 균열은 발생하지 않았다. MOCVD법으로 표면에 biaxial texture를 갖는 ceramic buffer를 증착시킨 NiO/Ni및 CeO$_2$/Ni 기판위에 YBCO박막을 MOCVD법으로 제조하였다. YBCO막은 기판온도 800$^{\circ}$C,증착압력 10torr, 산소분압을 0.7torr로 하여 10분간 행하였다. 공급원료의 조성에 따라 YBCO의 막의 texture와 형성되는 상이 변화되었다. NiO/Ni및 CeO$_2$/Ni 기판 위에 증착된 YBCO막은 c축 배향성을 가지고 성장하였으며, -scan 및 ${\varphi}$ -scan으로 측정한 (500)면의 in-plane과 (110)면의 out-of-plane의 FWHM(Full Width Half Maximum)값은 각각 10$^{\circ}$ 미만으로 우수하였다.

우리나라는 최근 많은 주요하천에서 생태하천으로의 복원작업이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 견고함을 위해 예전부터 수충부에 콘크리트를 주로 사용하였으나, 생태하천으로의 복원을 위해서는 호안 조성 재료의 교체가 필요하다. 콘크리트를 대체 할 여러 종류의 자연친화적 재료 및 공법들이 개발되고 있으나, 재료에 대한 신뢰성 있는 특성 분석 자료 및 평가에 대해서는 진행되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 최근 자연형 하천 조성에 사용되고 있는 소프트 백(Soft-Bag)에 대한 수리학적 특성치를 검토하기 위하여 식생 유 무에 따른 조도변화, Re수 및 Fr수를 산정하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 최대로 약 0.4cms의 유량이 통수가 가능하도록 길이 20m, 폭 2m, 높이 1m의 개수로 장치를 실내에 설치하였으며, 지하저류조를 제작하여 200톤의 유량이 순환되도록 펌프 4대를 설치 하였다. 또한, 유속의 증가를 위하여 개수로 경사장치를 설치함으로써 최대 0.005의 경사로 실험이 가능하도록 제작하였으며, 최하류부에 수문을 설치함으로써 하류경계조건에 의한 실험이 가능 하도록 하였다. 본 실험을 위하여 유량 및 하류경계조건의 변화에 따라 호안의 식생 유 무를 달리하여 실험을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 분석하였으며, 식생이 없는 경우 유량이 증가할수록 Re수 및 한계소류력이 증가하였으며, Fr수의 경우에는 하류경계조건에 따라 유속변화에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났고, 조도의 경우에는 0.01~0.025의 범위로 나타났고, 식생이 있는 경우 하류경계조건에 의한 변화의 폭이 더 작게 나타났다. 식생에 의한 유속은 하류경계조건이 낮은 경우에는 유량이 클수록 식생에 의한 변화가 크게 나타났지만, 하류경계조건이 커질수록 식생에 의한 유속의 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

In cloud environment, enterprises use a number of systems which are not interconnected and save master information in a distributed way in each of them. Master information which is not managed is incorrect and discord each other so that lowers efficiency of business process and disables optimum decision making. It is necessary to do high-qualified management of master information to operate efficient and errorless business process. This paper suggests TMDM as a solution to solve heterogeneous problems occurred between interconnected master information in cloud environment and to manage business process in an efficient method. TMDM is an information storage that is suggested to solve mutual discord problems between master information using Topic Maps that considers correlation between data. Topic Maps can be connected by association between topics in order to access through a topic to all related knowledge information which is described by the topic. This also can be applied to master information between legacy systems within cloud.

Our earlier studies found a significant correlation between the activities of ranitidine N-oxidation catalyzed by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) and the presence of mutations in exon 4 (E158K) and exon 7 (E308G) of the FMO3 gene in Korean volunteers. However, caffeine N-1 demethylation (which is also partially catalyzed by FMO) was not significantly correlated with these FMO3 mutations. In this study, we examined another common mutation (V257M) in exon 6 of FMO3 gene. The V257M variant, which is caused by a point mutation (G769A), was commonly observed (13.21% allele frequency) in our subjects (n=159). This point mutation causes a substitution of $Val^{257}$ to $Met^{257}$, with transformation of the secondary structure. The presence of this mutant allele correlated significantly with a reduction in caffeine N-1-demethylating activity, but was not correlated with the activity of N-oxidation of ranitidine. In a family study, the low FMO activity observed in a person heterozygous for a nonsense mutation in exon 4 (G148X) and heterozygous for missense mutation in exon 6 (V257M) of FMO3 was attributed to the mutations. Our results suggest that various point mutations in the coding regions of FMO3 may influence FMO3 activity according to the probe substrates of varying chemical structure that correlate with each mutation on the FMO3 gene.

We developed a 2-channel fiber-optic temperature sensor (FOTS) using a temperature sensing probe, a fiber-optic coupler, transmitting optical fiber, and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The temperature sensing probe is divided into a sensing probe and a reference probe for accurate thermometry. A sensing probe is composed of a silicon oil, a FC terminator, a brass pipe, and a singlemode optical fiber and the structure of a reference probe is identical with that of the sensing probe excluding a silicon oil. In this study, we measured the modified optical powers of the light signals reflected from the temperature sensing probe placed inside of the water with a thermal variation from 5 to $70^{\circ}C$. Although the optical power of the reference probe was constant regardless of the temperature change, the optical power of the sensing probe decreased linearly as the temperature increased. As experimental results, the FOTS using a subtraction method showed a small difference (i.e., hysteresis) in its response due to heating and cooling. The reversibility and reproducibility of the FOTS were also evaluated.

An early detection of infiltration in veins is essential to minimize the injuries caused during infusion therapy, which is one of the most important tasks for nurses in clinical settings. We report that bioelectrical impedance analysis is useful in the early detection of infiltration at puncture sites. When infiltration was intentionally induced in the vein of a rabbit's ear, impedance parameters showed significant difference before and after infiltration. In particular, the relative resistance at 20 kHz in the vein of rabbit's ear reduced largely at infiltration, decreased slowly, and then stayed at a constant value. This indicates that the vein in the ear of the rabbit is small, and hence the infiltrated intravenous (IV) solution no longer accumulates after 3 minutes of infiltration. However, when infiltration was induced in the vein of a human's forearm, the relative resistance at 20 kHz decreased gradually over time. In the $R-X_c$ graph, the positions in infiltration induced in the rabbit's ear rapidly shifted before and after infiltration whereas the positions in infiltration induced in the human's forearm changed gradually during infiltration. Our findings suggest that bioelectrical impedance analysis is an effective method to detect the infiltration early in a noninvasive and quantitative manners.

Cancer is a leading cause of death, and the number of cancer patients is increasing in Korea. The needs for the home care of cancer patients are increasing recently, but the standardized home care protocols are not developed yet. This study was designed to develop nursing assessment -intervention algorithms for the cancer chemotherapy patients at home. These algorithms suggest guidelines when we assess the patient's condition, and find appropriate nursing interventions, so that standardization and quality control of home care can be attained. The algorithms were processed by yes-no tree. Eleven common problems of cancer chemotherapy patients were identified by the literature review and oncology nurses' experience. These were digestive dysfunction, pain, fatigue, infection, respiratory difficulties, activity intolerance, hemorrhage, sensory disorder, edema, skin problem, and mucosal problem. The algorithm needs to be validated and modified by using for the cancer chemotherapy patients at home.

In this paper, the hydraulic model tests are conducted for the hydraulic characteristics at channel junctions. The experiments are examined through the variation of approaching angle, discharge in the upstream main channel and the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. The experiments are conducted in the channel model having the length of 450cm, the widths of 40cm and 32cm. Four water tanks and pumps are installed in the experimental channel. The length of stagnation zone is increased by Increasing of approaching angle and the discharge in the upstream channel. The length of stagnation increase with the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. However, the variation of the stagnation zone near the channel junctions is little at the same approaching angles and the discharge ratioes between the main channel and tributary. However, the variation of the stagnation zone near the channel junctions is little at the same approaching angles and the discharge ratioes between the main channel and tributary. Accelerating zone of the velocity is occurred in the middle of the channel in the small approaching angle. However, the influence zone of the accelerating velocity is increased by increasing the approaching angle.

A capacity calculation and process analysis is a very important part for the entire ship production planning. Ship's production plan is set up with a concept that the product is produced based on the capacity achievable by the processes while general manufacturing sets up the production plan based on product lead-time. Therefore, in case the calculation of capacity for each process of shipbuilding yard is different from actual conditions, a series of production plan - ship table composition, dual schedule plan and execution schedule plan, etc - may accumulate errors, lose reliability of planning information and cause heavy cost deficit in this course. In particular, in case of new shipbuilding yard, stocks between processes are built up and half blocks are not supplied in timely manner, and that is sometimes due to the clumsiness of the operator but it is more often because of the capacity to execute each process is not logically calculated. Therefore, this paper presents the process to calculate the assembly leadtime and assembly process capacity for shipbuilding yard assembly factory. This paper calculated the block type for calculation of assembly lead time based on block DAP(detailed assembly procedure), and introduced cases that calculate production capacities by assembly surface plate by considering the surface plate occupied area of the blocks that change depending on assembly field area and assembly processes through assembly simulation.
