An algorithmic approach to degree elevation of B-spline curves is presented. The new algorithms are based on the blossoming process and its matrix representation. The elevation method is introduced that consists of the following steps: (a) decompose the B-spline curve into piecewise $B{\acute{e}}zier$ curves, (b) degree elevate each $B{\acute{e}}zier$ piece, and (c) compose the piecewise $B{\acute{e}}zier$ curves into B-spline curve.

An a1gorithmic approach to degree elevation of NURBS curves is presented. The new algorithms are based on the weighted blossoming process and its matrix representation. The elevation method is introduced that consists of the following steps: (1) decompose the NURBS curve into piecewise rational Bezier curves, (b) elevate the degree of each rational Bezier piece, and (c) compose the piecewise rational Bezier curves into NURBS curve.

Based on the data obtained from field investigation and soil testing to slope hazards occurrence section and non-occurrence section in gneiss area, a prediction technique was developed by the use of a decision tree model. The slope hazards data of Seoul and Kyonggi Province were 104 sections in gneiss area. The number of data applied in developing prediction model was 61 sections except a vacant value. The statistical analyses using the decision tree model were applied to the entrophy index. As the results of analyses, a slope angle, a degree of saturation and an elevation were selected as the classification standard. The prediction model of decision tree using entrophy index is most likely accurate. The classification standard of the selected prediction model is composed of the slope angle, the degree of saturation and the elevation from the first choice stage. The classification standard values of the slope angle, the degree of saturation and elevation are $17.9^{\circ}$, 52.1% and 320m, respectively.

Purpose: Leg elevation is known as an effective method for reducing leg swelling, and it has been routinely used in medical practice. However, the effect of swelling reduction in relation to the degree of elevation height is not known. This study evaluated the swelling of the leg after acute ankle fracture operations at two different elevation heights and the elevated leg heights were compared. Materials and Methods: A total of 66 patients with postoperative acute ankle fractures were classified into two groups depending on the presence of different leg elevation heights: high-elevated (HE, case) and low-elevated groups (LE, control). We checked leg swelling, pain, subjective satisfaction for the elevation device, and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and we retrospectively compared them between both the groups. Results: Leg swelling and pain were reduced in both groups. However, they did not show any significant differences between both the groups (p>0.05). Nineteen patients in the HE group replied with uncomfortable, while no patients in LE group did so. The AOFAS score at 1 year postoperatively did not show any significant differences between both the groups (p=0.46). Conclusion: High elevation of the leg after ankle fractures did not show a significant difference from low elevation in regard to leg swelling, pain, and function. Furthermore, high leg elevation resulted in discomfort during the postoperative period. Thus, low elevation with a pillow is enough for acute ankle fracture patients with little discomfort and satisfactory swelling reduction.

Hibiscus syriacus were surveyed to study the growing temperature, relative humidity and growing responses shown at different elevations of Kangwon Province, and results of the assessment are summarized as follows 1. Growing responses as represented by leaf length, leaf width, shoot length, number of flowers and flowering duration, were decreased as the elevation increased, while the degree of defoliation was increased. 2. The important factor determining the growing responses to the elevation was the maximum and minimum temperatures, particularly those of July, August, and September. 3. The aphid occurrence on Hibiscus syriacus decreased as the elevation increased. Leading factor determining the population was relative humidity which increased as the elevation increased.

This study is about offering quantitatively analytic frame of streetscape, and also about making a way to be standardized and adapt changing landscape. This allows us to manage a form of elevation map after the application to GIS. The form of elevation map is a visible and vertical arrangement method of data recognizable while walking or driving. Applying measurable traits enables us to make a quantitative control over each element of which streetscape consists. After all, it would play a great roll in organizing and maintaining fine streetscape of each city. As the basic ways to make the elevation map, this study proposes the methods of providing quantitative analytic frame of streetscape after applying elevation data, Raster Data and Vector Data, which were investigated on the basis of GIS. In addition, as a simulation for increasing reality, certain streets, where the streetscape is very important, were chosen so that they enable us to utilize quantitatively analytic data of streetscape with analyzing the +degree of opening ratio in the boundary of D/H=2, comparing between wall area and windowpane area, comparing between facade area and sign board area, and calculating both area and ratio which are applied to ecospace.

본 연구는 최근 지리학에서 많이 이용되고 있는 GIS를 지형분석에 적응하기 위하여 한반도의 남해안에 위치하는 거제도를 해상으로 지형 및 하계망의 특성 및 지질과 지형, 지질과 하계망, 지형과 하계망과의 관련성을 GIS를 이용하여 분석한 것으로 상용 Data인 DTED와 지형도상의 Data를 같이 사용하고 이를 비교하여 봄으로써 장차 지형분석에 GIS의 이용 가능성과 DTED를 이용한 지형 및 하계분석의 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. 거제도의 자연 환경을 지형도 Data와 DTED를 이용 GIS Tool로 분석하여 그 결과를 비교한 결과 GIS Tool로 지형분석에는 문제가 없었으나 GIS자체가 지형분석을 위해 만들어진 Tool이 아니기 때문에 방법상의 문제가 제기되었다. 또한 지형도상의 Data와 DTED의 분석결과를 비교한 결과 DTED가 지형도 Data에 비해 정밀도가 떨어지고 좌표상의 오차가 발생하였다. 이러한 문제가 있기는 하나 접근이 불가능한 지역이나 넓은 지역을 대상으로 한 분석에서는 DTED가 유용한 자료로 사용될 수 있다.

In design PV (photovoltaic) system, there are many important factors to consider for best site selection. It is essential to understand to know the amount of sunlight available and how to minimize the shadings. This study presents basic concepts for understanding sun's position and insolation. also it gives easy tools for topography analysis. Finally, this study shows some theoretical calculations of power generation losses by topographic obstacle's elevations and disadvantages in economic feasibility, that is about 7million won loss per year for case of 10 degree topography elevation with assuming average Korea's topography elevation as 5 degree.

Objective : This study investigated the clinical characteristics with Tongdo-san on injured patients focused on traffic accidents cases. Methods : 108 injured patients diagnosed with stagnation of Qi and stagnated blood(氣滯瘀血) were treated with Tongdo-san, acupuncture, cupping, physical therapy, Su-Gi therapy. The degree of Martins AN was checked to observe the change after using Tongdo-san. Results : Evaluation grades of of patients treated with Tongdo-san were all improved. The shorter the period of morbidity and the lower the age, the better the elevation. The degree of elevation is more significant in women traffic accidents patients. Conclusions: According to the study, Tongdo-san might especially effective for women traffic accidents patients with short period of morbidity and lower age.

On the east slope of the front ranges of the Colorado Rockies, USA, three species of Populus are distributed at different elevations from the Great Plains to the timberline. At elevations 1, 720m (P. sargentii), 2, 335m (P.angustifolia) and 3, 190m (P.tremuloides) chlorophyll cotents of leaves of thses dioecious trees were determined. Total chlorophyll content was in the range of 0.86-1.56mg/g leaf, increasing with elevation as a second-degree polynomial, and the peak content was estimated to be reached at about 2, 800m. Total chlorophyll content was greater in female than in male trees in the two higher elevation species, but not in P. sargentii, the low elevation species. Chlorophyll b content was greater than chlorophyll a content in the same two higher elevation species. The increase of chlorophyll b than to increase of chlorophyll a content. These phenomena appear to be the result of adaptation of these species to different environmental conditional at different elevation. Sequential distribution of plant populations on environmental gradients in such a way that variation in given plant characters paralell the environmental gradient must occur not only in ecotypes of a species, but also in different but closely related species.
