The purpose of multimodal medical image fusion (MMIF) is to integrate images of different modes with different details into a result image with rich information, which is convenient for doctors to accurately diagnose and treat the diseased tissues of patients. Encouraged by this purpose, this paper proposes a novel method based on a two-scale decomposer and detail preservation model. The first step is to use the two-scale decomposer to decompose the source image into the energy layers and structure layers, which have the characteristic of detail preservation. And then, structure tensor operator and max-abs are combined to fuse the structure layers. The detail preservation model is proposed for the fusion of the energy layers, which greatly improves the image performance. The fused image is achieved by summing up the two fused sub-images obtained by the above fusion rules. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has superior performance compared with the state-of-the-art fusion methods.

The desirable result of infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) image fusion should have textural details from VIS images and salient targets from IR images. However, detail information in the dark regions of VIS image has low contrast and blurry edges, resulting in performance degradation in image fusion. To resolve the troubles of fuzzy details in dark regions of VIS image fusion, we have proposed a method of reflectance estimation for IR and VIS image fusion. In order to maintain and enhance details in these dark regions, dark region approximation (DRA) is proposed to optimize the Retinex model. With the improved Retinex model based on DRA, quasi-Newton method is adopted to estimate the reflectance of a VIS image. The final fusion outcome is obtained by fusing the DRA-based reflectance of VIS image with IR image. Our method could simultaneously retain the low visibility details in VIS images and the high contrast targets in IR images. Experiment statistic shows that compared to some advanced approaches, the proposed method has superiority on detail preservation and visual quality.

Given the widespread use of the Finite Element Method in strength analysis, automatic mesh generation is an important component in the computer-aided design of parts and assemblies. For a given resolution of geometric accuracy, the purpose of mesh generators is to discretize the continuous model of a part within this error limit. Sticking to this condition often produces many small elements around small features in spite that these regions are usually of little interest and computer resources are thus wasted. Therefore, it is desirable to selectively suppress small features from the model before discretization. This can be achieved by low-pass filtering a CAD model. A spatial function of one dimension higher than the model of interest is represented using the Fourier basis functions and the region where the function yields a value greater than a prescribed value is considered as the extent of a shape. Subsequently, the spatial function is low-pass filtered, yielding a shape without the small features. As an undesirable effect to this operation, all sharp corners are rounded. Preservation of sharp corners is important since stress concentrations might occur there. This is why the LPF (low-pass filtered) model can not be directly used. Instead, the distances of the boundary elements of the original shape from the LPF model are calculated and those that are far from the LPF model are identified and removed. It is shown that the number of mesh elements generated on the simplified model is much less than that of the original model.

Ecological Engineering (EE) refers to all sustainable engineering that can reduce damage to ecosystems and that adopts ecology as a base and safety as an orientation in order to implement conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development. In short, EE attempts to safeguard the ecological environment while any essential construction projects proceed. EE encompasses many fields, including construction skills, ecosystem preservation, landscape, and even related cultures and so on. Such variety results in greater complexity of construction, and, consequently, indirectly increases the difficulty of construction quality control. The objective of our research is to explore a promising model for EE via an extensive literature survey. This model includes three principal stages: plan-design, construction, and maintenance, along with individual accompanying phases concerned with quality control and vital management. In this article, a river restoration example is adopted to describe in detail the critical points of quality control in the three stages (plan-design, construction, and maintenance) of the construction life cycle. This study proposes an integrated structure for quality management of EE to guarantee its quality and to enhance its core applications in order to achieve long-lasting preservation of the environment.

This paper is intended to investigate the awareness of the elementary school students about the natural environment preservation. For this purpose, 21 elementary school students from the 5th grade of elementary school located in Gwangju city were selected. Especially, we focused on the students' conceptions related to 1) the environments, 2) the safe national land development activity to face several natural disasters and 3) the environmental preservation with the national land development. To evaluate the change of students' conceptions for the national land development, the students were also participated in establishing the plan of the national land development using the model of the natural environment after learning in detail about the natural environments. The results of this study showed that most of the students recognized the concept of the environments as a simple knowledge itself and pollution rather than the protection of environment. In the course of the safe national land development activity to face several natural disasters, the students expressed standardized answer indicating the knowledge based thinking of the environments. According to the results of the environmental preservation with the national land development and the hypothetical project of the national land development, the students did not have enough knowledge for the natural environment preservation although they had understanding of natural disasters and environmental preservation. Therefore, it is necessary to stress affirmative concept for the environment related to the preservation of natural environment. Also we need to develop the syllabus, which is related to the environmental studies, in the elementary educational program leading students to participate in the environmental preservation with the national land development reasonably and practically.

1.The domestic waste generated in Iksan city was 177 tons a day last year. 27 tons of that were recycled daily. Due to increased awareness the recycling rate also increased. 2. It is preferred to get continuous publicity and to enforce the program steadily to activate exchange centers and places like a flea market for reusable things, which will lead to increase the life-span of the current designated landfill site. 3. Because burying food waste in underground will be prohibited from year 2005, the reutilization of food waste by feeding domestic animals like ducks and making artificial fertilizer are preferred. 4. The case of Iksan city is expected to be a model to other cities by establishing a display room to accommodate its detail work demonstration, displaying modeled utilization items and exchange center, incinerator, duck ranch, lawn ground, etc. for making a city as an environmental preservation city model.

최근 XML 문서가 인터넷 기반의 애플리케이션간의 자료 저장 및 교환을 위한 표준으로서 부상함에 따라 XML 문서의 저장 및 관리에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구들은 인스턴스 및 DTD 기반의 매핑 기술에 관한 것으로 문서의 구조적 변환께만 초점이 맞추어져 있었다. 현재는 XML 스키마 기반의 XML 문서 이용이 보편화되고 있는 추세이며 구조적 변환 이외에도 의미의 보존이 아울러 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 XML 스키마에 기반 한 MPEG-21의 DIDL(Digital Item Declaration Language) 언어를 응용 도메인으로 설정하곡 의미적 제약조건을 확장하여 보존할 수 있는 매핑 모델을 제안하였다. 기존의 연구결과를 제시된 도메인에 적절하게 확장하여 전처리 단계에서 적용한 후, 의미 정보의 보존을 위한 다양한 후처리 과정을 설계단계에 적용하였다. 구현에 적용된 시스템의 구성 및 제안 알고리즘을 소개하고, 구현 환경 및 상세한 의미적 확장기법을 제시하였으며, 테이블과 질의 예제를 통한 질의처리 예제를 보였다.

Biodiversity is a key element of ecosystem of which function provides essential product and service in human life. In the course since development projects often causes damages to biodiversity, environmental impact assessment technique must be capable of accurately assessing potential impact from flora and fauna and to entire ecosystem. Korea needs improvement of its assessment technique that is compatible with Korean environmental regulatory standard that is generally stricter than that of most countries. This study attempts to explore both domestic and overseas biodiversity assessment techniques and analyze each stage of environmental impact assessment. The data is collected from numbers of literatures selected by navigating both domestic and overseas literature database with certain keywords. Among the 44 selected papers, overseas publications outnumber those of domestics, and there are more researches on assessment methodology of biodiversity than assessment tool and model. In terms of environmental impact assessment, the number of papers on environmental impact forecast exceeds the numbers of papers on current state of environment and the impact minimizing solution. Therefore, contents and trends of those researches in the different stages of environmental impact assessment discussed in this paper not only suggest potential impact on biodiversity and minimization solutions in detail, but is also a valuable resource particularly for biodiversity relevant environmental assessment technique improvement in Korea. Proposing of a new direction of improvement in biodiversity assessment techniques makes this study significant, and further research for preservation of biodiversity should follow up to provide an improvement scheme for biodiversity assessment techniques in the future.

외부적으로 정책결정과정의 투명성을 위한 업무관리시스템이 도입되고 업무혁신을 위한 범정부 기능분류체계가 수립되어 행정기관의 업무환경이 변화하고 있다. 동시에 자료관시스템이 본격적으로 가동됨에 따라 미비한 기능에 대한 불만이 가중되고, 전자기록의 진본성 유지에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이러한 배경하에서 기록관리 혁신의 일환으로 '05년 9월부터 5개월간 국가기록원에서는 '기록관리시스템 혁신 정보화전략계획수립(ISP)' 용역사업을 수행하였다. 이 용역사업에서는 기존의 기록관리프로세스를 전자기록관리체계에 걸맞게 재설계하였고, 국제표준에 부합하는 시스템 모델을 제시하였다. 기록물관리법 제정이후, 행정기관의 기록관리는 종이기록을 전자적으로 관리하는 개념에서 추진되었다. 그러나 이번에 수립된 개선모델에서는 종이기록을 대체해 가고 있는 전자기록에 주목하고 전자기록의 속성을 고려한 관리방안을 모색하고 있다. 이것은 행정기관의 업무가 전산시스템을 통하여 수행되는 것이 보편화되어 감에 따라, 기록관리영역에서도 본격적으로 전자기록관리 문제가 이슈화되고 있다는 의미이다. 본 논문에서는 전자기록관리와 관련된 개선모델의 주요내용을 분석하고 그 의미와 한계를 살펴봄으로써, 전자기록관리시스템의 향후 방향을 이해하는데 목적이 있다. 개선모델 분석에 앞서, 변화된 행정환경과 그에 따른 기록관리상의 제문제를 검토하였다. 업무관리시스템과 정부의 기능분류체계는 업무측면에서 범정부의 실적을 온라인으로 관리하고 정부기능에 따라 체계적으로 분류하여 관리할 수 있는 공통기반을 마련했다는 점에서 혁신적이나, 기록관리측면에서는 기록관리대상의 재정의와 획득방법의 부재, 기록물분류기준표와의 이원화, 그리고 자료관시스템의 전자기록관리의 한계 등 많은 문제점을 발생시키고 있음을 확인하였다. 위와 같은 문제의 해결을 위하여, 기록관리시스템 개선모델에서는 확대된 기록관리대상을 포괄할 수 있는 범용적인 전자기록철의 구조를 설계하고, 업무분류에 기반한 기록분류체계를 도입하며, 전자기록관리를 강화하기 위한 기능을 추가해야 한다고 제안하고 있다. 이 모델은 다양한 생산시스템의 기록관리 대상에 대한 근본적인 관리방법을 모색하고 있고, 기록분류체계 및 보존기간 운영방식에 있어 기관별 기록관의 역할을 획기적으로 개선하고 있으며, 전자기록의 진본성 유지를 위한 시스템의 주요 기능이 구체적으로 설계되어 제시되고 있다는 점에서 국제표준과 선진사례의 추세와 부합하는 전자기록관리시스템의 기반을 마련하였다고 분석되었다. 그러나 이러한 혁신성에도 불구하고 본격적인 전자기록 시대의 기록관리시스템으로서는 걸음마 단계이다. 앞으로 행정정보시스템 등 상이한 기록구조의 획득방안, 기록분류체계의 질적수준의 확보, 기 개발된 보존기술의 검증 등이 보다 더 심도 있게 연구되고 실행될 때, 선진적인 전자기록관리시스템으로서의 전망을 가질 수 있을 것이다.

The National Bio Resource Project-Rat (NBRP-Rat) comprises the largest bank of laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) strains in the world. Its main focus is to develop infrastructure that will facilitate the systematic collection, preservation, and provision of rat strains. To breed effectively more than 180 rat strains in living stock, we establish the genetic control system in which a systematic set of genetic diagnoses and genetic monitoring are included. Genetic monitoring is performed by using 20 polymorphic markers. Monitoring is carried out when a living animal stock is re-established by using cryopreserved embryos or sperm or when a rat strain is first introduced to the NBRP-Rat by a depositor. Additional monitoring is then carried out on each strain every two years. Genetic diagnosis is performed largely by employing the Amp-FTA method. Protocols which detail how to perform a genetic diagnosis of 11 transgenes and 24 mutations have been made. Among the mutations, nine can be detected by simple gel electrophoresis of the PCR products, 11 by restriction enzyme treatment of the PCR products, and four by direct PCR product sequencing. Using this genetic control system, the NBRP-Rat can guarantee the genetic quality of its rat strains.
