Visual identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is considered as a gold standard of RLN preservation during thyroid surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is classified into the intermittent type and continuous type and helps surgeons identify the functional integrity of RLN and predict the postoperative vocal cord function. RLN injury during thyroid surgery is associated with tumor factors and surgeon factors. Tumor factors mean such as direct tumor invasion, adhesion of RLN to the tumor, and compression by a large thyroid tumor. Surgeon factors include nerve transection, stretching, thermal injury, and ligation injury. A recent meta-analysis reported that the IONM could reduce the RLN injury. Considering various nerve injury mechanism, we suggest that using both I-ONM and C-IONM together is more effective method in preventing nerve damage than using I-IONM alone.

The cultural production of meanings is becoming more and laden with the intricacies of signs and symbols in our times. The idea of 'character' is important as an intermediation for information and an essential characteristic of "the object" experienced through the sence of sight. Character is symbolicin its form but also in its iconic markings. Motion Picture Animation makes Character not just an expression of an image but visual communication that expands the action of meaning piled up, sign upon sign. The analysis of 'character' suggests that motion picture animated characters could play an important role as a cultural mode leading to new styles not merely as an aesthetic mechanism. The study there with analyzed animated character systematically to discem where the sign phenomena shows up in social conventions under the semiotic rigor of Peirce's concepts of icon, index, and symbol.

The museum is a important place to inform the value of various antiquities and relics. The museum, founded in domestic, were increased 90% in 2013 compared to 2006, and total number of including private museums were increased more than three times over the past decade. There are installing a variety of illumination and air-conditioning system, such as the spot lighting of exhibition explanation. But the exhibition explanation should not happen to visual perception disabilities by lighting. According to ICOM (International Council of Museum), it is stipulating that the museum should not to occur glare. However, we confirmed some occurred the glare and it was lack of previous studies about prevention plan. In this study, we verified occurrence of the glare by illumination angles and visitor's eye-level. The luminance values were determined by using DSLR camera and illuminometer. As a result, when illumination angle is 90 degree, the glare did not occurred by the luminance value ratio of over 0.167 regardless of eye-level. By contrast, the angle 30 degree was appeared glare with all level. And this study was compared luminance values that obtained through experiment and surveying.

Currently, there are active researches being conducted on a new combustion technology that can reduce emission quantity while enhancing vehicle performance as well as Improving fuel quality. In a gasoline engine that uses petroleum, high volatility makes it easy to jump spark ignition and prevent knocking phenomenon that occurs inside an engine. In a diesel engine that uses diesel fuel, high volatility reduces combustion residues and toxic gas and is therefore good for protecting the environment. Therefore, for fuel used in a vehicle, volatility is an important factor that influences not only engine performance but also environmental protection. This research conducted a distillation experiment using gasoline and diesel fuel for vehicles produced by domestic oil companies. The test was conducted in accordance with the method of distillation experiment described in KS M ISO3405. In addition, it used the result of analysis from the experiment to examine visual distillation characteristics of each fuel and developed a formula based on distillation temperature.

With all the recent progresses in computer hardware and software technology, the animation of fluids in real-time is still among the most challenging issues of computer graphics. The fluid animation is carried out in two steps - the physical simulation of fluids immediately followed by the visual rendering. The physical simulation is usually accomplished by numerical methods utilizing the particle dynamics equations as well as the fluid mechanics based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Particle dynamics method is usually fast in calculation, but the resulting fluid motion is conditionally unrealistic. The methods using Navier-Stokes equation, on the contrary, yield lifelike fluid motion when properly conditioned, yet the complexity of calculation restrains this method from being used in real-time applications. This article presents a rapid fluid animation method by using the continuum-based fluid mechanics and the enhanced particle dynamics equations. For real-time rendering, pre-integrated volume rendering technique was employed. The proposed method can create realistic fluid effects that can interact with the viewer in action, to be used in computer games, performances, installation arts, virtual reality and many similar multimedia applications.

Food waste is an inverse measure of consumer acceptability of the food as served and hence a potential determinant of food qualify. The plate waste of patients was examined by a visual method at one hospital. Patients were asked to record after each item on their menu the amount consumed in quantitative terms: None, 1/4, l/2, 3/4, all. The survey showed that 65% of all patients surveyed left some of their food during hospitalization. Mean wastes for soups and meat side dishes were found to be larger than those for cooked meals and vegatable side dishes. At the same time, a questionnaire survey was used to determine the view of patients of key aspects of the hospital foodservice system. The majority of patients surveyed left their cooked meal because of low appetite, whereas patients indicated that Food is not tasty was the primary reason for leaving soups and other side dishes.'Satisfaction' scores were significantly correlated with the patients' age and appetite at the time.
