The temporal subtraction technique as one of computer aided diagnosis has been introduced in medical fields to enhance the interval changes such as formation of new lesions and changes in existing abnormalities on deference image. With the temporal subtraction technique radiologists can easily detect lung nodules on visual screening. Until now, two-dimensional temporal subtraction imaging technique has been introduced for the clinical test. We have developed new temporal subtraction method to remove the subtraction artifacts which is caused by mis-registration on temporal subtraction images of lungs on MDCT images. In this paper, we propose a new computer aided diagnosis scheme for automatic enhancing the lung nodules from the temporal subtraction of thoracic MDCT images. At first, the candidates regions included nodules are detected by the multiple threshold technique in terms of the pixel value on the temporal subtraction images. Then, a rule-base method and artificial neural networks is utilized to remove the false positives of nodule candidates which is obtained temporal subtraction images. We have applied our detection of lung nodules to 30 thoracic MDCT image sets including lung nodules. With the detection method, satisfactory experimental results are obtained. Some experimental results are shown with discussion.

소일시멘트는 오래전부터 도로기층처리, 연약지반개량을 위해 사용되어온 재료지만 품질의 균질성과 내구성이 떨어지기 때문에 용도 확대에 한계가 있었다. 그러나, 최근 환경친화적인 목적에 관심이 커지면서 공원 산책로, 골프장, 보도 등과 같은 높은 강도가 요구되는 곳에 소일시멘트 포장의 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소일시멘트의 배합설계를 위하여 통계적인 분석기법을 적용하여 표준배합표를 작성하였으며, 소일시멘트 강도와 소일크리트 고화재, 잔골재율, 분산제 등의 관계를 규명하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 개량대상토로서는 국내에 많이 분포되어 있는 연약한 해성점토로서 개량압축강도는 $50{\sim}150kg/cm^2$ 범위로 하였다.

Advisor: Prof. The quality of apical seal obtained with 3 different gutta-percha obturation techniques was compared in 49 recently extracted single rooted teeth. The root canals were instrumented using step-back technique and obturated with laterally condensed gutta-percha, Continuous Wave gutta-percha, and hybrid technique. Teeth were suspended in black India ink for 7 days, cleared, and then examined under a stereomicroscope at ${\times}10$ magnification. The results were as follows; 1. All experimental groups produced favorable apical seal. 2. The mean leakage was $0.23{\pm}0.25mm$ for group 1, $0.17{\pm}0.21mm$ for group 2, and $0.19{\pm}0.23mm$ for froup 3, but there was no statistical difference amoung them. Within the limits of the results of this experiment, the Continuous Wave gutta-percha obturation technique demonstrated relatively favorable apical sealing effect and shorter obturation time. Thus, it is thought that this obturation technique is a acceptable method for clinical use but further studies on this metter should be conducted.

In this paper, a new PD measurement technique of pulse superposition method was proposed in order to investigate both PD mechanism and phase related PD patterns. From the experimental results, we could find that the polarity and the phase angle of the superposed pulse take great effects on PD characteristics and these method make it possible to get the physical information which statistical approach can not give. We could conclude that the changes of PD characteristics in the void surrounded by polymers may be attributed to the injection of charge carriers thereby formation of space charge in the surface and/or the bulk of the polymer.

Microwave and millimeter waves are considered suitable frequency ranges for diverse applications. The prediction of rain attenuation required the 1-min rainfall rate distribution, particularly for data obtained locally from experimental measurement campaigns over a given location. Rainfall rate data acquired from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for nine major sites are analyzed to investigate the statistical stability of the cumulative distribution of rainfall rate, as obtained from a 10-year measurement. In this study, we use the following rain rate conversion techniques: Segal, Burgueno et al., Chebil and Rahman, exponential, and proposed global coefficient methods. The performance of the proposed technique is tested against that of the existing rain rate conversion techniques. The nine sites considered for the average 1-min rain rate derivation are Gwangju, Daegu, Daejeon, Busan, Seogwipo, Seoul, Ulsan, Incheon, and Chuncheon. In this paper, we propose a conversion technique for a suitable estimation of the 1-min rainfall rate distribution.

Many chaos-based encryption methods have been presented and discussed in the last two decades, but very few of them are suitable to secure transmission on noisy channels or respect the standard of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper tackles the problem and presents a novel chaos-based cryptosystem for secure transmitted images. The proposed cryptosystem overcomes the drawbacks of existing chaotic algorithms such as the Socek, Xiang, Yang, and Wong methods. It takes advantage of the increasingly complex behavior of perturbed chaotic signals. The perturbing orbit technique improves the dynamic statistical properties of generated chaotic sequences, permits the proposed algorithm reaching higher performance, and avoids the problem of error propagation. Finally, many standard tools, such as NIST tests, are used to quantify the security level of the proposed cryptosystem, and experimental results prove that the suggested cryptosystem has a high security level, lower correlation coefficients, and improved entropy.

This paper presents results of a study on wind loads and wind induced dynamic response of bridge jointed twin-towered buildings. Utilizing the high-frequency force balance technique, the drag and moment coefficients measured in wind tunnel tests, and the maximum acceleration rms values on the top floor of towers, are analyzed to examine the influence of building's plan shapes and of intervals between towers. The alongwind, acrosswind and torsional modal force spectra are investigated for generic bridge jointed twin-towered building models which cover twin squares, twin rhombuses, twin triangles, twin triangles with sharp corners cut off, twin rectangles and individual rectangle with the same outline aspect ratio as the twin rectangles. The analysis of the statistical correlation among three components of the aerodynamic force corroborated that the correlation between acrosswind and torsional forces is significant for bridge jointed twin-towered buildings.

두 신호의 상관을 실시간으로 처리하는 AOTIC(Acoustoopic Time Intergrating Correlator) 시스템을 구성하였다. 이 시스템은 AOD(Acoustoopic Device)와 CCD(Charge Coupled Device)를 사용한다. 신호의 상관을 얻는 AO 기술을 다룬다. 상관기의 출력 SNR에 대한 통계적인 해석을 제시하고 AO기술에 의한 실험의 결과를 보여준다. 상관적분이 공간상보다는 시간상으로 되므로 시스템의 SNR을 크게 개선시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The static and fatigue tests have been carried out to verify the validity of a generalized residual strength degradation model. And a new method of parameter determination in the model is verified experimentally to account for the effect of tension-compression fatigue loading of spheroidal graphite cast iron. It is shown that the correlation between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction on the statistical distribution of fatigue life by using the proposed method is very reasonable. Furthermore, it is found that the correlation between the theoretical prediction and the experimental results of fatigue life in case of tension-tension fatigue data in composite material appears to be reasonable. Therefore, the proposed method is more adjustable in the determination of the parameter than maximum likelihood method and minimization technique.
