There are many women who want larger and brighter eyes that will give a favorable impression. Surgical methods that make the eye larger and brighter include double eyelidplasty, epicanthoplasty, as well as lateral canthoplasty. Double eyelidplasty produces changes in the vertical dimension of the eyes, whereas epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty create changes in the horizontal dimension of the eyes. Epicanthoplasty, a surgical procedure which enlarges the eye horizontally, is performed at the inner corner of the eye, whereas lateral canthoplasty enlarges the outer edge of the eye. In particular, if the slant of the palpebral fissure is raised and the horizontal dimension of the palpebral fissure is short, adjusting the slant of the palpebral fissure through lateral canthoplasty can achieve an enlargement of eye width and smoother features. Depending on the patient's condition, even better results can be achieved if this procedure is performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as double eyelid-plasty, epicanthoplasty, eye roll formation surgery, fat graft, and facial bone contouring surgery. In this paper, the authors will introduce in detail their surgical method for a cosmetic lateral canthoplasty that lengthens the lateral canthal angle and corrects the outer tail of the eyes, in order to ease the unfavorable impression.

The roughness of substrate concrete interfaces before new concrete placement has a major effect on the interface bond behaviour. However, there are challenges associated with the consistency of the final roughness interface prepared using conventional roughness preparation methods which influences the interface bond performance. In this study, five quantitative interface roughness textures with different roughness tooth angles, depths, and tooth distribution were created to ensure consistency of interface roughness and to evaluate the bond behaviour at a precast and new concrete interface using the splitting tensile test, slant shear test, and double-shear test. In addition, smooth interface specimens and two separate the pitting interface roughness were also utilized. Obtained results indicate that the quantitative roughness has a very limited effect on the interface tensile bond strength if no extra micro-roughness or bonding agent is added at the interface. The roughness method however causes enhanced shear bond strength at the interface. Increased tooth depth improved both the tensile and shear bond strength of the interfaces, while the tooth distribution mainly influenced the shear bond strength. Major failure modes of the test specimens include interface failure, splitting cracks, and sliding failure, and are influenced by the tooth depth and tooth distribution. Furthermore, the interface properties were obtained and presented while a comparison between the different testing methods, in terms of bond strength, was performed.

In laser imaging, accurate extraction of the laser's center is essential. Several methods exist to extract the laser's center in an image, such as the geometric mean, the parabolic curve fitting, and the Gaussian curve fitting, etc. The Gaussian curve fitting is the most suitable because it is based on the physical properties of the laser. The width of the Gaussian laser beam depends on the distance from the laser source to the target object. It is assumed in general that the distance remains constant at a laser spot resulting in a symmetric Gaussian model for the laser image. However, on a curved surface of the object, the distance is not constant; The laser beam is narrower on the side closer to the focal point of the laser light and wider on the side closer to the laser source, which causes the distribution of the laser beam to skew. This study presents a modified Gaussian model in the laser imaging to incorporate the slant angle of a curved object. The proposed method is verified with simulation and experiments.

본 논문에서는 디지털 카메라를 통하여 입력된 차량 영상으로부터 차량 번호판을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 최근 몇 년간 차량 번호판 영상을 인식하는 기술은 많은 발전을 이루어 왔다. 정확한 인식을 위한 핵심 기술은 차량 번호판 영역의 정확한 추출이다. 에지 정보나 칼라 정보로 번호판 영역을 추출할 경우, 번호판을 보는 시각에 따른 기울어진 번호판의 정확한 영역 추출이 어렵기 때문에 기존의 번호판 인식은 차량의 정면에서 촬영된 영상을 사용하였고 번호판 영역에 경사나 기울기를 고려하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 입력 영상의 경사나 기울어진 입력 영상에 대한 인식이 가능한 형태로 변환하는 데 중점을 둔다. 그에 따라 영상에서 번호판의 위치 및 기울어짐 혹은 높낮이가 정면에서 벗어나더라도 번호판 영역 추출을 가능토록 칼라 정보를 이용하여 후보 영역을 추출한 후 선형 회귀 방정식을 사용하여 보다 정확하게 차량 번호판 영역을 추출하였다. 실험 결과 92%의 번호판 검출율을 보였으며, 50$^{\circ}$ 정도 기울어진 번호판에서도 문자의 인식이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Some crude drugs in ancient literatures have been used as traditional therapeutic agent of leucorrhea mainly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida albicans. Sixty six kinds of crude drugs in ancient literatures and ten constituents were selected as sample drugs. Trichomycin standard was tested to compare with the above drugs. To determine the anti-fungal effect of these drugs on Candida albicans Yu 1200, a test organism, screening test was conducted. Antifungal activities of crude drug water extracts were observed by means of two test methods : firstly through the agar slant method and secondly the counting chamber method which was used for acknowledged drug agents upon the result of the agar slant method. And in order to improve the fungicidal effect, the organisms were stained with 0.02% methylene blue solution. The results of the above test indicated that Fritillariae Rhizoma has antifungal action in the concentration of 310mcg/ml, Coptidis Rhizoma in 620mcg/ml, Meliae Cortex, Scutellariae Radix both in 5,000mcg/ml. Baicalin, catechol among the pure isolated constituents inhibited in the range of 50mcg/ml. This score was based on 50% inhibition in comparison with amounts of control organisms. Rhei Rhizoma, Mori Radicis Cortex, Linderae Radix, and Amomi globosi Fructus showed the antifungal effect moderately in 5,000mcg/ml, and baicalein and pectolinarin in 50mcg/ml in the limit of between 35% and 50% antifungal activity. Staining with 0.02% methylene blue showed that any of the crude drug extracts was unable to stain the cells, but trichomycin in 0.86unit/ml able to stain 12% of the cells. This result means that crude drugs probably do not have fungicidal but fungistatic action.

In this paper, we propose a stroke matching method for the off-line recognition of handprinted Hangul. In this method, the preprocessing steps such as position normalization, contour tracing and thinning are carried out first. Then, after extracting features such as the firection component distribution of contour, the direction component distribution of skeleton, and the distribution of structural feature points, strokes are extracted and matched based on the midpont distribution of the direction and the length of each stroke. In order to reduce the recognition time, a preliminary classification based on the direction component distribution features of the contour is performed. In order to domonstrate the performance of the proposed method, experiments with 520 most frequently used Hangul were performed, and 90.7% of correct recognition rate and 0.46second of recognition time per one character has been obtained. This results reveal that the proposed method can absorb effectively the noise in input character and the variations of stroke slant.

In this paper, as a new measurement method to estimate the change of material condition, the simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information of three directions, that is, $90^{\circ}$, $+45^{\circ}C$and $-45^{\circ}C$ about inspection plane is proposed. Use of simplified CT system has two merits: Firstly, the measurement time is very short compared with general CT. Secondly, it can detect sensitively small defect in vertical or slant direction about inspection plane because the obtained image is CT image calculated from three directions. From these merits, this method can be considered as an effective method to evaluate material conditions. The basic performance of the proposed method was confirmed through several specimens with several simple defects. In order to confirm the applicability of actual NDT, several kinds of welded specimens are investigated. The result showed that the CT image obtained had good agreement with actual defect of specimens.

Many researchers have dealt with the problems of fracture mechanics. Generally, these researches are concerned with crack in isotropic material without other micro defects. Actual structure, however, may contain micro defects as well as crack in manufacture processing or operation. If it contains mi defects near a crack, some different characteristics will be appear in fracture behaviors of the crack. This study examines the effect of the micro defect on stress intensity factor of center slant crack rectangular plate subjected to uniform uniaxial tensile stress. In this study, boundary element method(BEM) is used for analysis in stress intensity factor(SIF).

이 연구에서는 강섬유 보강 초고성능 콘크리트(Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete, 이하 UHPFRC)로 보강된 콘크리트 계면에서의 전단강도 평가를 위한 경사전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 면처리 유무와 콘크리트 강도, 그리고 UHPFRC의 강섬유 혼입률이다. 콘크리트의 계면은 숏블라스팅으로 면처리되었다. 실험결과, 숏블라스팅으로 면처리된 실험체의 계면 전단강도는 매끄러운 표면을 가진 실험체의 부착강도에 비해 매우 크게 나타났으며, 거친면을 만들기 위한 숏블라스팅 방법은 매우 효과적인 방법인 것으로 나타났다. 숏블라스팅으로 표면처리를 할 경우, 전단마찰 철근이 없더라도 콘크리트 계면에서 저항하는 전단강도는 현행 기준에서 제시하고 전단강도 상한값을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 콘크리트와 UHPFRC 사이의 전단마찰 설계는 전단마찰 철근의 유무와 상관없이 현행 콘크리트 구조기준을 사용해도 무방할 것으로 판단된다. 다만, 면처리를 하지 않은 경우에는 적절한 전단 보강재가 추가 설치하여야 할 것이다.
