자기확산(self-defocusing) 매질 내에서 어두운 공간솔리톤 배열의 발생에 대하여 연구하였다. 하나의 어두운 공간솔리톤 발생과는 달리, 빔의 공간적인 세기 분포가 사인파형인 빔의 어두운 공간솔리톤 배열로 발전하기 위해서는 빔이 진행하는 동안 점진적인 증폭이 요구됨을 전산시늉을 통해 알 수 있었다. 실험에서는 Mach-Zehnder 간섭계를 구성하여 입사빔의 세기 모양을 사인파형으로 만들었고, 점진적인 증폭효과를 주기 위해 원통렌즈를 사용하였다. 비선형 굴절률이 증가함에 따라 어두운 솔리톤의 골의 폭이 좁아지고 빔의 뒷배경이 일정해짐을 관측하였다.

This study investigated the optimum positions and warning foreperiod for auditory signals with an experiment on spatial stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility effects. The auditory signals were presented at the front-right, front-left, rear-right, and rear-left positions from the subjects, whose reaction times and accuracies at different spatial mapping conditions were examined. The results showed a significant spatial stimulus-response compatibility effect in which faster and more accurate responses were obtained in the transversely and longitudinally compatible condition while the worst performance was found when spatial stimulus-response compatibility did not exist in either orientation. It was also shown that the transverse compatibility effect was found significantly stronger than the longitudinal compatibility effect. The effect of signal position was found significant and post hoc test suggested that the emergent warning alarm should be placed on the front-right position for right-handed users. The warning foreperiod prior to the signal presentation was shown to influence reaction time and a warning foreperiod of 3 s is found optimal for the 2-choice auditory reaction task.

Designing effective navigation aids for customer interfaces is critical for the success of cyber shopping malls. Navigation aids can be classified into either basic ones which are based on the structure of the malls or add-ons which are not. Add-on navigation aids provide various short-cuts to promote efficient traversal in the cyber shopping malls, but too many of them would increase the complexity of the customer interface. Metaphors have been used widely for the design of add-on navigation aids, but little research evaluates their impact on the processes and outcomes of customers behavior in cyber shopping malls. This paper presents an empirical study that investigates the navigation process of customers and the subjective evaluation of their shopping experience. This research implemented two versions of a test-bed cyber shopping mall according to different metaphors used; one based on a spatial metaphor, and the other based on a non spatial metaphor. The results of the experiment indicate that navigation aids based on the spatial metaphor were used more frequently, which resulted in better understanding about the entire structure of the cyber shopping malls, which in turn led to an increased ease of finding target items and also a more pleasant shopping experience. The benefits of navigation aids based on the spatial metaphor became more evident when customers were looking for ad-hoc category items rather than common items. This paper presents plausible explanations for the results and implications to the design of navigation aids for cyber shopping malls.

본 논문에서는 공간정보와 색상변화율을 이용한 영상검색방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 공간정보를 추출하기 위하여 임계치 $\tau$에 의하여 영상으로부터 색상영역들을 추출한다. 이 과정에서 색상 영역의 수와 색상변화 횟수를 계산하며, 이 값들을 이용하여 색상변화율을 얻는다. 영상간의 유사도는 공간정보에 의해여 측정되며, 색상변화율은 유사한 색상변화율을 가진 이미지가 보다 높은 검색 순위가 갖도록 돕는다. 다양한 자연영상들을 이용한 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 색상정보를 이용한 다른 일반적인 방법들보다 뛰어난 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

To mitigate space restriction and to raise productivity, some shipbuilding companies use floating-docks on the sea instead of dry-docks on the land. In that case, a floating-crane that can lift very heavy objects (up to 3,600 tons) is used to handle the blocks which are the basic units in shipbuilding processes, and so, very large blocks (these are called the mega-blocks) can be used to build a ship. But, because these mega-blocks can be made only in the area near the floating-dock and beside the sea, the space is very important resource for the process. Therefore, our problem is to make an efficient spatial schedule for the mega-block assembly yard. First of all, we formulate this situation into a mathematical model and find optimal solution for a small problem using a commercial optimization software. But, the software could not give optimal solutions for practical sized problems in a reasonable time, and so we propose a GA-based heuristic algorithm. Through a numerical experiment, finally, we show that the spatial scheduling algorithm can provide a very good performance.

For the smooth flow of traffic vehicles and its effective management, it is necessary to have an exact information on traffic condition, i.e., the volume of traffic, velocity, occupancy and classification of vehicles. In particular, for classification of vehicles, there has been only image processing method using camera, where the method can obtain much information but rather expensive. In this paper, an algorithm for the measurement of velocity and total length of vehicles has been proposed to develop a general traffic management system, which is necessary to discriminate the class of vehicles. In order to realize the proposed algorithm, we have developed an ultrasonic spatial filtering method, which has better performance than that of using the traditional vehicle detector. To have this system to be constructed, we have introduced three sets of ultrasonic devices where each has one transmitter and two receivers which are arranged to obtain the spatial difference of objects. The velocity of vehicles can be measured by analyzing the occurrence time of pulses and their time differences. The total length of vehicles can be given by multiplying velocity with time interval of pulses sequence. To confirm the effectiveness of this measuring system, the experiment by the spatial filtering method using the ultrasonic sensors has been carried out. As the results, it is found that the proposed method can be used as one of measurement tools in the general traffic management system.

A rectangular-shaped PET system with an adjustable gantry (AGPET) has been developed for imaging small animals. The AGPET system employs a new depth of interaction (DOI) method using a depth dependent reflector patterns and a new digital time pickoff method based on the pulse reconstruction method. To evaluate the performance of the AGPET, timing resolution, intrinsic spatial resolution and point source images were acquired. The timing resolution and intrinsic spatial resolution were measured using two detector modules and Na-22 gamma source. The PET images were acquired in two field of view (FOV) sizes, 30 mm and 90 mm, to demonstrate the characteristic of the AGPET. As a result of in the experiment results, the timing resolution was 0.9 ns using the pulse reconstruction method based on the bi-exponential model. The intrinsic spatial resolution was an average of 1.7 mm and the spatial resolution of PET images after DOI correction was 2.08 mm and 2.25 mm at the centers of 30 mm and 90 mm FOV, respectively. The results show that the proposed AGPET system provided higher sensitivity and resolution for small animal imaging.

Rice yield and protein content have been shown to be highly variable across paddy fields. In order to characterize this spatial variability of rice within a field, two-year experiments were conducted in 2002 and 2003 in a large-scale rice field of $6,600m^2$ In year 2004, an experiment was conducted to know if variable rate treatment (VRT) of N fertilizer, that was prescribed for site-specific management at panicle initiation stage, could reduce spatial variation in yield and protein content of rice while increasing yield compared to conventional uniform N topdressing (UN, 33kg N/ha at PIS) method. VRT nitrogen prescription for each grid was calculated based on the nitrogen (N) uptake (from panicle initiation to harvest) required for target rice protein content of $6.8\%$, natural soil N supply, and recovery of top-dressed N fertilizer. The required N uptake for target rice protein content was calculated from the equations to predict rice yield and protein content from plant growth parameters at panicle initiation stage (PIS) and N uptake from PIS to harvest. This model· equations were developed from the data obtained from the previous two-year experiments. The plant growth parameters for the calculation of the required N were predicted non-destructively by canopy reflectance measurement. Soil N supply for each grid was obtained from the experiment of year 2003, and N recovery was assumed to be $60\%$ according to the previous reports. The prescribed VRT N ranged from 0 to 110kg N/ha with an average of 57kg/ha that was higher than 33 kg/ha of UN. The results showed that VRT application successfully worked not only to reduce spatial variability of rice yield and protein content but also to increase rough rice yield by 960kg/ha. The coefficient of variation (CV) for rice yield and protein content was reduced significantly to $8.1\%$ and $7.1\%$ in VRT from $14.6\%$ and $13.0\%$ in UN, respectively. And also the average protein content of milled rice in VRT showed very similar value of target protein content of $6.8\%$. In conclusion the procedure used in this paper was believed to be reliable and promising method for reducing within-field spatial variability of rice yield and protein content. However, inexpensive, reliable, and fast estimation methods of natural N supply and plant growth and nutrition status should be prepared before this method could be practically used for site-specific crop management in large-scale rice field.

다양한 지질 주제도는 현지 조사에 의해 부분적으로 샘플링된 공간 자료의 내삽을 통해 작성되어 왔으며, 공간적 예측을 위해 공간적 상관성을 고려하는 지구통계학적 크리깅이 많이 적용되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 지질 주제도 작성을 목적으로 부분적인 샘플링 자료와 이와 상관된 부가자료를 통합하기 위해 다변량 지구통계 기법을 적용하였다. 다변량 지구통계 기법으로 simple kriging with local means와 kriging with an external drift를 적용하였다. 지하수위 분포도 작성과 퇴적물 입도 분포도 작성의 2가지 사례연구를 수행하였는데, 지하수위 분포도 작성에는 지하수위 분포 샘플링 자료와 수치고도모델을, 퇴적물 입도분포도 작성에는 입도 샘플링 자료와 IKONOS 원격탐사 자료를 이용하였다. 사례연구 수행결과, 다변량 지구통계 기법이 그동안 많이 이용되어온 단변량 지구통계 기법 친 정규 크리깅에 비해 작은 추정 오차를 나타내면서 국소적인 특성을 반영할 수 있었다. 그러나 추정 오차의 정도는 샘플링 밀도, 부가자료와의 상관성과 공간자료 자체의 상관성 정도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 퇴적물 입도 분포도 작성 사례연구에서 이러한 요소들이 상호 영향을 미쳐 부가자료의 이용 효과가 상대적으로 적게 나타났다.
