It is necessary to understand the characteristics of each type of division problems in other to help students develop a rich understanding when they learn each type of division problems. This study focuses on a specific type of division problems; a quotitive division as finding a scale factor in enlargement context. First, this study investigated via survey how 4th-6th graders and preservice and inservice elementary teachers solved a quotitive division relating to scaling problem. And semi-structured interviews with preservice and inservice elementary teachers were conducted to explore what knowledge they brought when they tried to solve enlargement quotitive division problems. Most of participants solved the given quotitive division problem in the same way. Only a few preservice and inservice teachers interpreted it as a proportion problem and solved in a different way. From the interviews, it was found that different conceptions of context and decontextualization, and different conceptions of times (as repeated addition or as a multiplicative operator) were connected to different solutions. Finally, three issues relating to teaching enlargement quotitive division were discussed; visual representation of two solutions, conceptions connected each solution, and integrating quotitive division and proportion in math textbooks.

Establishment and operation of Aids to Navigation in the process of port design, construction and management are crucial factor of maritime safety and collision prevention. According to the IMO SOLAS Chapter 5, regulation 13, the establishment and operation of maritime safety facilities are mandated for the competent authorities. The facilities of Aids to Navigations are moving to a concept of e-Navigation with state-of-the-art technology of radio navigation equipments such as AIS, DGPS and e-Loran from the traditional visual facilities (optics, shape), Although the autonomous maritime traffic system is a new trend, yet the traditional and conventional Aids to Navigation like lighthouses and beacons are still imperative for vessel's safe navigation. In this paper, for decision of service level of maritime traffic facilities to enhance the efficiency of visual navigation system management it was proposed the Aids to Navigation availability as an efficient management system incorporating the whole maritime traffic facilities under one management system. Comparison of foreign level of services and analysis of the theoretical background of them were analyzed and the proposed LOS was applied to Incheon area to evaluate the safety of navigation routes.

Recently, most of movies top-ranked in the box office are screening in Stereoscopic 3D, and the world's leading electronics companies such as Samsung and LG are getting the hots for 3DTV sales. However, each person has different binocular disparity and different viewing distance, and thus he or she feels the severe visual fatigue and headaches if he or she is watching 3D content with the same binocular disparity, which is very different from things he or she feels in the real world. To solve this problem, this paper proposes and implement a 3D rendering system that correct the disparity of 3D content by reflecting binocular distance and viewing distance. Then, the computational complexity is analyzed. Optical-flow and Warping algorithms turn out to consume 732 seconds and 5.7 seconds per frame, respectively. Therefore, a dedicated chip-set for both blocks is strongly required for real-time HD 3D display.

강우 발생시 유역에 집수된 물이 하천에 이르는 경로에 따른 유출은 지표유출, 지표하유출, 지하수유출로 구분된다. 정확한 수문순환 과정의 해석을 위해서는 지표 흐름뿐만 아니라 지표하 및 지하수 흐름의 해석이 중요한 실정이나 일반적으로 실무에서 사용되는 강우-유출해석 모형은 지표유출을 해석하기 위한 모형이 대부분이며, 지표하 유출과 침투량을 산정하는데 어려움이 있다. 일반적인 강우-유출해석 모형은 Horton 방법, NRCS 방법, Green-Ampt 방법에 의해 유효우량을 분리하며, 이 과정은 침투량을 직접적으로 모형화 할 수 없으므로 지표 및 지표하, 지하수 흐름을 복합적으로 해석할 수 있는 모형이 질적이나 양적으로 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 지표하 흐름과 침투량을 산정하기 위하여 FE-FLOW, PM, MS-VMS, GMS, GW-VISTAS, ARGUS 및 MODFLOW와 같은 지하수 모형을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지표하유출 산정을 위한 침투량의 비교분석을 위해 현재 가장 범용되는 지하수 유동 모델링 프로그램인 Visual Modlfow 모형과 GMS 모형을 이용하여 침투량 산정을 위한 수치 모의를 진행하였다. 각 모형의 입력자료는 2009년 국립방재연구원에서 수행한 침투실험시설 자료를 이용하여 동일한 조건을 부여하고, 두 모형의 비교를 위해 Visual Modflow에서는 MODFLOW의 기본 해석방법인 유한차분법(FDM)을 이용하고, GMS 모형에서는 3차원 유한요소해석이 가능한 GMS-FEMWATER를 이용하였다. 두 모형의 수치모의 조건으로 2009년 국립방재연구원에서 수행한 침투실험방법과 동일하게 공극률에 따른 투수성 보도블럭의 구분과 50mm/hr, 100mm/hr, 150mm/hr, 200mm/hr의 강우강도별 선행함수조건에 따른 수치모의를 진행하였으며, 수치모의된 침투량의 적정성을 판단하기 위하여 국립방재연구원의 침투실험 결과자료와 비교분석하였다. 침투실험 자료와 각각 수치모의된 침투량을 비교분석한 결과 서로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나 초기 침투시 상대오차가 비교적 크게 발생하였다. 이는 수치모형의 경우 수리실험과는 다르게 모의시작과 동시에 해당 강우강도의 침투가 시작되므로 초기 유입 유출량 발생시간의 차이가 종료시간까지 누적 침투량에 미치는 것으로 판단되며, 매개변수에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

As multimedia information is spread over cyber networks, problems such as protection of legal rights and original proof of an information owner raise recently. Various image transformations of DCT, DFT and DWT have been used to embed a watermark as a token of ownership. Recently, SVD being used in the field of numerical analysis is additionally applied to the watermarking methods. A watermarking method is proposed in this paper using Gabor cosine and sine transform as well as SVD for embedding and extraction of watermarks for digital images. After delivering attacks such as noise addition, space transformation, filtering and compression on watermarked images, watermark extraction algorithm is performed using the proposed GCST-SVD method. Normalized correlation values are calculated to measure the similarity between embedded watermark and extracted one as the index of watermark performance. Also visual inspection for the extracted watermark images has been done. Watermark images are inserted into the lowest vertical ac frequency band. From the experimental results, the proposed watermarking method using the singular vectors of SVD shows large correlation values of 0.9 or more and visual features of an embedded watermark for various attacks.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of injection laryngoplasty (IL) with hyaluronic acid in patients with vocal fold paralysis (VFP). Methods: A total of 50 patients with VFP participated in this study. Pre- and post-IL assessments were performed, which included analyzing the sustained vowel /a/ phonation, and the patient reading 1 Korean sentence from the "Walk" passage that comprised 25 syllables in 10 words. To investigate the effect of IL on vocal fold function, acoustic analysis (acoustic voice quality index, cepstral peak prominence, maximum phonation time, speaking fundamental frequency) was conducted and auditory-perceptual (grade and overall severity), visual judgment (gap), and self-questionnaire (voice handicap index-10) assessments were performed. Results: The patients with VFP showed statistically significant differences between pre-and post-IL assessments for acoustic and auditory-perception, visual judgment, and self-questionnaire assessments. Conclusion: The patients with VFP showed positive change in vocal fold function between pre- and post-IL measurements. The findings showed that IL with hyaluronic acid is an effective method to improve vocal fold function in patients with VFP.

The main object of this study was to prove the effectiveness of different merging methods by using the high resolution IRS(Indian Remote Sensing Satellite)-1C panchromatic data and the multispectral Landsat TM data. The five methods used to merging the information contents of each of the satellite data were the intensity-hue-saturation(IHS), principal component analysis(PCA), high pass filter(HPF), ratio enhancement method and look-up-table(LUT) procedures. Two measures are used to evaluate the merging method. These measures include visual inspection and comparisons of the mean, standard deviation and root mean square error between merged image and original image data values of each band. The ratio enhancement method was well preserved the spectral characteristics of the data. From visual inspection, PCA method provide the best result, HPF next, ratio enhancement, IHS and LUT method the worst for the preservation of spatial resolution.

Visual MODFLOW was used for quantifying stream-aquifer interactions caused by seasonal groundwater pumping. A hypothetical conceptual model was assumed to represent a stream-aquifer system commonly found in Korea. The model considered a two-layered aquifer with the upper alluvium and the lower bedrock and a stream showing seasonal water level fluctuations. Our results show that seasonal variation of the stream depletion rate (SDR) as well as the groundwater depletion depends on the stream depletion factor (SDF), which is determined by aquifer parameters and the distance from the pumping well to the stream. For pumping wells with large SDF, groundwater was considerably depleted for a long time of years and the streamflow decreased throughout the whole year. The impacts of return flow were also examined by recalculating SDR with an assumed ratio of immediate irrigation return flow to the stream. Return flow over 50% of pumping rate could increase the streamflow during the period of seasonal pumping. The model also showed that SDR was affected by both the conductance between the aquifer and the stream bed and screen depths of the pumping well. Our results can be used for preliminary assessment of water budget analysis aimed to plan an integrated management of water resources in riparian areas threatened by heavy pumping.
