The aims of this study were to compare the status of dental caries between mental retarded persons(MR) and normal persons and investigated the association among dental caries and oral factors(plaque index, S. mutans, Lactobacillus, buffering capacity, salivary total IgA and anti-S. mutans IgA titers). DMFS index and plaque index were significantly greater in the MR person group than in the normal person group. The concentration of S. mutans-specific IgA was significantly greater in the normal person group than in the MR person group, but that of salivary total IgA was not show the significant difference. Salivary buffering capacity was significantly greater in the normal person group than in the MR person group, but the counts of salivary S. mutans and Lactobacillus were not significantly different. By age group(I: 9-11Y, II: 12-14Y, III: 15-18Y), DMFS index and plaque index were significantly greater in the MR person group than in the normal person group at III. The S. mutans counts and Lactobacillus counts were significantly greater in the normal person group than in the MR person group at I, but those were contrary at II, III. There was a high correlation among caries index and buffering capacity, level of S. mutans and Lactobacillus, plaque index at III.

The interval approach to the linguistic expression coding nears us to the human idea. Thus, what seems "weak" for a person can appear very weak for another person or for the same person in others circumstances. However, the utilization of intervals is not restrained to the cases of linguistic expression coding. Indeed, the interval can facilitate the solution of several problems.

This paper proposes an hybrid person identification algorithm utilizing finger crease pattern and finger thickness profiles. We have observed that by adding finger thickness profiles as a feature vector, we could improve the performance of the person identification system utilizing only finger crease pattern. We presented the comparative evaluation of the proposed algorithm in detail.

There are many assistive devices for the visually impaired. They are becoming smart. In this paper, we propose a device that help route guidance for a visually impaired person. It is composed of a smart phone, cane, and hands-free devices. The smart phone helps a route guidance. The cane detects an obstacle and transmits it to the hands-free device. The hands-free device communicates with a visually impaired person. We here present their architecture, signal flow, configuration, and their circuit diagrams.

We propose a mathematical model which describes the walking behavior of a person and to analyze the effect of the personality on the dynamics of the crowd. The fundamental assumption is that the human behavior is not a random process but a deterministic process with several basic mechanisms and each fundamental mechanism is common and only the parameter is different from person to person. The proposed model is based on the servomechanism which drives a person along the planned path from point to point. This model has been applied to simulate the walks of people in a crowd and the simulated results have a good coincidence with actual measurement.

Instead of using only spatial features from a single frame for person re-identification, a combination of spatial and temporal factors boosts the performance of the system. A recurrent neural network (RNN) shows its effectiveness in generating highly discriminative sequence-level human representations. In this work, we implement RNN, three Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network variants, and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) on Caffe deep learning framework, and we then conduct experiments to compare performance in terms of size and accuracy for person re-identification. We propose using GRU for the optimized choice as the experimental results show that the GRU achieves the highest accuracy despite having fewer parameters than the others.

This paper proposes an algorithm to detect persons in bitstream domain by skipping a reconstruction picture process in HEVC decoding. A new 3-channel feature extraction map is introduced in this paper by modelling the relationship between bits per CU density, average PU shape in CU, and total transform coefficients in CU from syntax elements. A state-of-the-art of YOLOv3 detection algorithm is used to detect and localize person on extracted feature maps. Based on the experimental results, the proposed person detection framework can achieve mAP of 0.68 and be able to find persons on feature maps. In addition, the proposed person detection can save decoding time about 60% by removing reconstruction picture process.

Aging society appears immediate social problem in Korea. Housing for aging is required independent and comfortable housing life to live considering about feature of elderly. It is necessary field to prepare. Aged person who suffers the aging process several stages gets changing weak, so living environment is important aging person aspect of social, psychological and physical point. Finally, aged person living together requires facilities for the naturally communicating and active things. Community of aged person required organization of space for keeping independence and connection with each other. According to space of community, housing for aging should have a different access route. In conclusion, congregate housing of the elderly should be planed organization of space to be solved anxiety and tension and to be aware of joining the community.

The number of disabled person is increasing, and also the demand of welfare is increasing. In the developed country, the range of disabled person is broad, because the definition of disability is different among countries. On 10/Apr, 2007, the law to forbid discrimination against disabled person was announced and then it will be operated on 11/Apr, 2008, in Korea. It will need to evaluate conflict between this law and underwriting guideline. There is obvious difference between disabled and non-disabled on risk selection of medical and environmental aspect. More than 50% of disabilities are related to the diseases rather than accident. The role of underwriter is to evaluate the future risk of morbidity (admission and/or operation etc). The insurance company is required to make new product for disabled person and the underwriter has to examine the application of disabled without discrimination, and with respect for the disabled as a human right.

From all nations the disabled person experiences many difficulties from the process which obtain informations and use libraries. So the advanced nations is concentrating on establishment of the information gap solution policy for the disabled person. Based on these situations, this research analyzed the national library service policies for the disabled person in the United States and the United Kingdom and Japan, and proposed desirable position and operation plans of the disabled person library support center of the National Library of Korea.
