얼굴인식(face recognition)은 스마트 감시 시스템, 공항 출입국관리, 스마트 기기의 사용자 인증 등 매우 다양한 용도로 활용되고 있다. 얼굴인식은 패턴인식(pattern recognition), 컴퓨터 비전(computer vision) 등에서 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 높은 인식 성능을 달성하였다. 하지만 입력된 얼굴영상의 특성(예 : 비 정면 얼굴)에 따라 동일한 얼굴인식 시스템의 성능이 크게 저하될 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 얼굴인식 시스템에 입력된 얼굴영상에 대하여 얼굴인식 측면에서의 사용 적합 여부를 판정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은, 사전에 기준으로 정한 적합 얼굴영상들의 최적 조합으로 입력 얼굴영상을 복원하고, 복원 에러를 문턱값과 비교하여 사용 적합 여부를 결정한다. 얼굴영상에 포함된 조명변화가 사용 적합 여부를 판정하는데 미치는 영향을 감소시키기 위해, 기준 적합 얼굴영상들과 입력 얼굴영상들에 조명 보상을 위한 전처리(preprocessing) 과정을 수행한다. 실험결과, 제안하는 방법은 얼굴이 비 정면(non-frontal)인 경우나 얼굴정렬(face alignment)이 부정확한 경우 입력 얼굴영상을 얼굴인식에 부적합으로 판정할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. $64{\times}64$ 픽셀 크기의 얼굴영상 한 장을 판정하는데 불과 3ms의 처리시간을 가지므로 적합으로 판정된 입력 얼굴영상에 대해서만 얼굴인식을 수행함으로써 계산시간을 절약하고, 얼굴영상 특성에 따라 인식 성능이 급격히 저하되는 문제를 극복할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we propose a new method of removing glasses from human frontal facial images. We first detect the regions occluded by the glasses, and generate a natural looking facial image without glasses by recursive error compensation using PCA reconstruction. The resulting image has no trace of the glasses frame, nor of the reflection and shade caused by the glasses. The experimental results show that the proposed method provides an effective solution to the problem of glasses occlusion, and we believe that this method can also be used to enhance the performance of face recognition systems.

It is well known that convections and fronts are the most effective weather systems for the vertical transport of pollutants. I used a two dimensional front model in order to investigate the mechanism of the vertical transport of atmospheric pollutants between planetary boundary layer(PBL) and free atmosphere by fronts. The main dynamic processes which contribute the vertical transport of pollutants are advection and diffusion. The transported amount of pollutant from the boundary layer to the free atmosphere increases dramatically during the developing stage of the front. 46% of pollutants are transported vertically within 12 hour and 54% are transported within 24 hour. In the meantime, compared to the total amount of pollutants transported by both advection and diffusion, about 25% (30%) less pollutants are transported when only advection (diffusion) process in included in the model. The most important mechanism for the vertical transport is vertical advection, while the vertical diffusion process plays an important role in the redistribution of pollutants in the PBL.

SINE-R retroposons have been derived from human endogenous retrovirus HERV-K family and found to be hominoid specific. Both SINE-R retroposons and HERV_K family are potentially capable of affecting the expression of closely located genes. Using the genomic DNA from patients with schizophrenia, we identified 26 SINE-R retroposons and analyzed them with the sequences derived from the hominoid primates. The SINE-R retroposons from schizophrenia showed 89.7-96.6％ sequence similarities with the sequence of the schizo-cDNA clone that derived from postmortem tissue from the frontal cortex of an individual suffering from schizophrenial. Phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining method revealed that the new SINE-R retroposons in schizophrenia have proliferated independently during hominid evolution. Such retroposons have great relevance to genomic change connected to human diseases. The data suggest that new SINE-R retroposons identified in schizophrenia deserve further investigation as potential leads on the understanding of neuropsychiatric diseases.

The effects of fuel density and fuel viscosity on spray characteristics were investigated under two different gas turbine fuels and various fuel supply pressure conditions through measurement of SMD, number density and volume flux by using PDPA system in dual orifice injector for gas turbine engines. In this study, we found out that the droplet size and spray structure are strongly depend on fuel density for dual orifice injector. The spray characteristics of high density fuel in dual orifice injector are similar with the characteristics of low density fuel in single orifice injector. The shear region between primary main fuel stream and secondary main fuel stream is examined in low density fuel condition but not exist in high density fuel condition, then this shear region is very important in quality of gas turbine spray. There are worth consideration for the effect of fuel density on spray characteristics in frontal device design to improve combustion efficiency.

This paper reports on an investigation (using RSM with commercial CFD software) of the performance characteristics of the impeller in a centrifugal pump. Geometric parameters of vane plane development were defined with the meridional shape and frontal view of the impeller. The parameters are focused on the blade-angle distributions through the impeller in a fixed meridional geometry. For screening, a $2^k$ factorial design has been used to identify the important design parameters. The objective functions are defined as the total head rise and the total efficiency at the design flow-rate. From the $2^k$ factorial design results, it is found that the incidence angles and the exit blade angle are the most important parameters influencing the performance of the pump.

This paper reviewed models to explain memory and neuropsychological tests to assess memory. Memory was explained in cognitive and neuroanatomical perspectives, Cognitive model describes memory as structure and process. In structure model, memory is divided into three systems: sensory memory, short-term memory(working memory), and long-term memory. In process model, there are broadly three categories of memory process: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Memory process work in memory structure. There are two prominent models of the neuroanatomy of memory, derived from the work of Mishkin and Appenzeller and that of Squire and Zola-Morgan. These two models are the most useful for the clinician in part because they take into account the connections between the limbic and frontal cortical regions. The major difference between the two models concerns the role of the amygdala in memory processess. Mishkin and his colleagues believe that the amygdala plays a significant role while Squire and his colleagues do not. The most popular and widely used tests of memory ability such as WMS-R, AVLT, CVLT, HVLT. RBMT, CFT, and BVRT-R, were reviewed.

The child restraint system is blown to be excellent to reduce child occupant injury in frontal collisions. The effects of the child restraint system are experimently investigated according to FMVSS 213. A sled simulator is utilized with varying restraint types such as 2point, 3point seat belts, forward-facing types and booster types of child restraint systems. The head and chest injuries for various cases are evaluated based on industrial standards. Also, the maximum displacements of the head and the knees are measured by film analysis. Using the results of the test, the effects of the child restraint system is discussed and reduction of child occupant injury is pursued.

A 9-year-old female mixed breed dog was presented due to cluster seizure episode. A mass in the frontal lobe was noted on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The dural tail sign was identified on contrast MR images. Based on MRI findings, intracranial meningioma was suspected strongly. The patient's symptom was controlled well by a combination therapy of hydroxyurea and prednisolone, and survived for fourteen months after diagnosis. This case report demonstrated that the clinical findings, imaging characteristics of a dog with suspected intracranial meningioma and long-term survival after hydroxyurea plus prednisolone therapy.

This study proposed a Sasang constitution classification system that can increase the objectivity and reliability of Sasang constitution diagnosis using the image of frontal face, in order to solve problems in the subjective classification of Sasang constitution based on Sasang constitution specialists' experiences. For classification, characteristics indicating the shapes of the eyes, nose, mouth and chin were defined, and such characteristics were extracted using the morphological statistic analysis of face images. Then, Sasang constitution was classified through a SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier using the extracted characteristics as its input, and according to the results of experiment, the proposed system showed a correct recognition rate of 93.33%. Different from existing systems that designate characteristic points directly, this system showed a high correct recognition rate and therefore it is expected to be useful as a more objective Sasang constitution classification system.
