Purpose. To analysis the prevalence of the myopia and corneal astigmatism in Korea women university students. Methods. From August 2011 to December 2012, one hundreds subjects were performed in refraction test using the Auto-Keratometry. Results. The mean age of the 100 subjects (200 eyes) was $21.23{\pm}2.34$. The mean spherical refractive power was -$1.78{\pm}1.65$(OD) and -$1.83{\pm}1.67$(OS) Diopter. The mean astigmatism power was $1.22{\pm}0.96$ (OD) and $1.27{\pm}0.91$ (OS). The mean corneal astigmatism was $1.44{\pm}0.81$(OD) and $1.55{\pm}0.93$(OS). Corneal astigmatism was between 0.25 D and 1.25 D in 67.7% of eyes, 1.25 D or higher in 27.5% eyes, and less than 0.25 D in 4.8% of eyes. Astigmatism was with the rule in 65%, against the rule in 31.5%, and oblique in 3.5%. There was a statistical significance between right eye and left eye in the spherical equivalent power(p=0.002). Also there was a statistical significance between spherical power and refractive astigmatism in OD(p=0.006) and OS(0.003) and a statistical significance between corneal astigmatism and refractive astigmatism in OS(p=0.0003). However, there was not a statistical significance between spherical power and corneal astigmatism in OD(p=0.08) and OS(0.1) and a statistical significance between corneal astigmatism and refractive astigmatism in OS(p=0.48). Conclusions. In this study, these results suggested that the analysis of the refractive myopia and corneal astigmatism can provide the visual correct and useful diagnosis information for the eyewear dispensing, contact lens fitting and corneal refraction surgery.

A total of 32,817 test-day milk yield (TDMY) records of the first lactation of 4,056 Girolando cows daughters of 276 sires, collected from 118 herds between 2000 and 2011 were utilized to estimate the genetic parameters for TDMY via random regression models (RRM) using Legendre's polynomial functions whose orders varied from 3 to 5. In addition, nine measures of persistency in milk yield ($PS_i$) and the genetic trend of 305-day milk yield (305MY) were evaluated. The fit quality criteria used indicated RRM employing the Legendre's polynomial of orders 3 and 5 for fitting the genetic additive and permanent environment effects, respectively, as the best model. The heritability and genetic correlation for TDMY throughout the lactation, obtained with the best model, varied from 0.18 to 0.23 and from -0.03 to 1.00, respectively. The heritability and genetic correlation for persistency and 305MY varied from 0.10 to 0.33 and from -0.98 to 1.00, respectively. The use of $PS_7$ would be the most suitable option for the evaluation of Girolando cattle. The estimated breeding values for 305MY of sires and cows showed significant and positive genetic trends. Thus, the use of selection indices would be indicated in the genetic evaluation of Girolando cattle for both traits.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is established in order to estimate the plastic properties of power-law hardening bulk specimen materials with one simple spherical indentation impression test. This work is based on a new formulation of representative strain and, therefore, compare to the preceding approaches the fitting parameters are significantly reduced. Moreover, the new definition of representative strain endowed more physical meaning to the representative strain. In order to verify the reliability of the reverse analysis, we have studied a broad set of materials whose property ranges cover essentially all engineering metals and alloys. Based on the indentation force-displacement P-${\delta}$ curves obtained from numerical simulations, the characteristics of the indentation response and material elastoplastic properties are bridged via explicit functions. Next, through the procedure of reverse analysis the yield stress and power-law hardening exponent of bulk specimen materials can be determined. Finally, good agreement between the result from reverse analysis and initial input data from experiment can be observed.

A kind of modified epoxy resin sheet molding compounds of the impeller has been designed. Through the test, the non-metal impeller has a better environmental aging performance, but must do the waterproof processing design. In order to improve the stability of the impeller vibration design, the influence of uncertainty factors is considered, and a multi-objective robust optimization method is proposed to reduce the weight of the impeller. Firstly, based on the fluid-structure interaction, the analysis model of the impeller vibration is constructed. Secondly, the optimal approximate model of the impeller is constructed by using the Latin hypercube and radial basis function, and the fitting and optimization accuracy of the approximate model is improved by increasing the sample points. Finally, the micro multi-objective genetic algorithm is applied to the robust optimization of approximate model, and the Monte Carlo simulation and Sobol sampling techniques are used for reliability analysis. By comparing the results of the deterministic, different sigma levels and different materials, the multi-objective optimization of the SMC molding impeller can meet the requirements of engineering stability and lightweight. And the effectiveness of the proposed multi-objective robust optimization method is verified by the error analysis. After the SMC molding and the robust optimization of the impeller, the optimized rate reached 42.5%, which greatly improved the economic benefit, and greatly reduce the vibration of the ventilation system.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop an automated software to extract tooth and pulpal area from sectional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, which can guarantee more reproducible, objective and time-saving way to measure pulp/tooth volume ratio. Methods: The software program was developed using MATLAB (MathWorks). To determine the optimal threshold for the region of interest (ROI) extraction, user interface to adjust the threshold for extraction algorithm was added. Default threshold was determined after several trials to make the outline of extracted ROI fitting to the tooth and pulpal outlines. To test the effect of starting point location selected initially in the pulpal area on the final result, pulp/tooth volume ratio was calculated 5 times with different 5 starting points. Results: Navigation interface is composed of image loading, zoom-in, zoom-out, and move tool. ROI extraction process can be shown by check in the option box. Default threshold is adjusted for the extracted tooth area to cover whole tooth including dentin, cementum, and enamel. Of course, the result can be corrected, if necessary, by the examiner as well as by changing the threshold of density of hard tissue. Extracted tooth and pulp area are reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) and pulp/tooth volume ratio is calculated by voxel counting on reconstructed model. The difference between the pulp/tooth volume ratio results from the 5 different extraction starting points was not significant. Conclusions: In further studies based on a large-scale sample, the most proper threshold to present the most significant relationship between age and pulp/tooth volume ratio and the tooth correlated with age the most will be explored. If the software can be improved to use whole CBCT data set rather than just sectional images and to detect pulp canal in the original 3D images generated by CBCT software itself, it will be more promising in practical uses.

모돈의 건강 상태를 정량 지수화 하기 위한 연구를 수행 중이다. 지제이상, 섭식 불량, 수면 패턴 등의 운동 특성 분석을 위하여 복수의 초음파 센서를 이용하였다. 시계열 계측 신호를 분석하여 정량 지수화를 수행하는 과정에서 주파수 도메인 분석을 시도하였다. 이 과정에서 주파수 도메인의 분해능에 따른 편차 극복을 위한 비선형 모델링을 수행하였다. 또한 인접한 시계열 데이터 구간 간의 상관성 분석이 가능하면 대용량 데이터의 실시간 처리로 인한 지연 시간 극복 및 기대되는 예후에 대한 조기 진단이 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 구글에서 제공하는 Tensorflow와 NVIDIA에서 제공하는 CUDA 엔진을 동시 적용한 심층 학습 시스템을 이용하였다. 전 처리를 위하여 주파수 분해능 (2분, 3분, 5분, 7분, 11분, 13분, 17분, 19분)에 따른 데이터 집합을 1단계로 두고, 상위 10 순위 안에 드는 파워 스펙트럼 밀도의 크기를 2단계로 하여, 총 2~10개의 입력 노드를 순차적으로 선정하였고, 동일한 방식으로 인접한 시계열의 파워 스펙터럼 밀도를 순위를 변화시켜 지정하였다. 대표적인 심층학습 모델인 Softmax regression with a multilayer convolutional network를 이용하여 Recursive feature selection 경우의 수를 $8{\times}9{\times}9$로 총 648 가지 선정하고, Epoch는 10,000회로 지정하였다. Calibration 모델링의 경우 Cost function이 10% 이하인 경우 해당 경우의 학습을 중단하였으며, 모델 간 상호 교차 검증을 수행하기 위하여 $_8C_2{\times}_8C_2{\times}_8C_2$ 경우의 수에 대한 Verification test를 수행하였다. Calibration 과정 상 모든 경우에 대하여 10% 이하의 Cost function 값을 보였으나, 검증 테스트 과정에서 모든 경우에 대하여 $r^2$ < 0.5 인 결정 계수 값이 나타났다. 단적으로 심층학습 모델의 과도한 적합(Over fitting) 방식의 한계를 보인 것이라 판단할 수 있다. 적합한 Feature selection 및 심층 학습 모델에 대한 지속적이고 추가적인 고려를 통해 과도적합을 해소함과 동시에 실효적이고 활용 가능한 Classification을 위한 입, 출력 노드 단의 전후 Indexing, Quantization에 대한 고려가 필요할 것이다. 이를 통해 모돈 생체 정보 정량화를 위한 지능형 현장 진단 기술 연구를 지속할 것이다.

In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis is performed to ensure structural safety and to suggest the design improvement of wing-to-fuselage joint of the KSR-III rocket. In the joint, wings are attached to fuselage by fitting wing attachment part into the groove on the fuselage frame, and load transfer between wing and fuselage frame is accomplished mainly throug the contact of two members as well as fastening bolts. The careful finite element modeling has been proposed for the purpose of analyzing problems with relatively complicated load path. The detailed bolt modeling is conducted and GAP elemets are used to simulate contact problem between joined members and bolts. The suggested design improvement is verified by structural testing and the analysis results are compared with test results.

Common structural rules of JBP(Joint Bulker Project) and JTP(Joint Tanker Project), which will come into effect in 2006, invoke the necessity of the ultimate limit state(ULS) design for ship structures. Even though the many applications of ULS analysis have been performed for ship structures, there have few studies carried out for deck machineries and their supporting structures. Recently four major Korean shipbuilders(DSME, HHI, HHIC, SHI) jointly developed and proposed a new design standards for mooring fittings and also proposed the SWL (Safety Working Load) obtained based on the first yield criterion. In this study, various ultimate strength analyses were performed for bollards and their foundation structures whose yield strengths were quantified by the research consortium. Prior to performing the ultimate strength analyses, the numerical calculation method was substantiated with the test results provided in the joint work report. Based upon the results of this study, it can be concluded that the reinforcements to increase the yield strength are not always resulted in the enhancement of the ultimate strength. Furthermore, the additional production costs for the reinforcements can not be rewarded by the ultimate strength. Therefore, another alternative arrangements should be developed in the view point of ultimate strength.

Management options for impacted maxillary canines can include (1) continued observation, (2) extraction of the primary canine to aid spontaneous eruption, (3) uncovering and bonding of the impacted tooth and its eruption using orthodontic traction, (4) autotransplantation, and (5) extraction followed by prosthetic replacement. Autotransplantation should be considered when the degree of malposition is too severe to correct by orthodontic alignment. The present report describes the management of an ectopic eruption of the left maxillary canine in an 10-year-old girl. The treatment included the extraction of primary maxillary left canine and the autotransplantation using a Rapid Prototyping model. By using RP model to contour the recipient bone and check for fitting in the prepared socket, the extra-oral time can reduce. The autotransplanted canine showed mobility within normal limit, negative response to percussion and positive to electric pulp test after 6 months.
