For quantitative N depth profiling, N profiles were measured in a～3 m Si oxynitride by low energy O$\sub$2+/sputtering and the result was calibrated with MEIS analysis of the N thickness and areal density. The quantitative depth profile of nitrogen showed the pileup of nitrogen atoms at the interface of ultrathin oxynitride films.

A new approach for similarity analysis of chemical profiles of Scrophularia buergeriana was developed. The roots of S. buergeriana collected in Andong, Korea were analyzed using HPLC-DAD and the peak areas of the chromatograms were used to construct the chemical profiles of S. buergeriana. The analytical conditions were validated for specificity, precision and repeatability. The standard chemical profiles were established from the chromatograms of nine standard analytical extracts from three batches. The correlation coefficients of peak areas of characteristic compounds between the chromatograms of the standard and test samples were calculated for quantitative expression of the chemical profiles. The results showed that the HPLC chemical profiles of the samples of same geographic origin were relatively consistent. This new approach could be applied to the quality assessment of herbal medicines with complex chemical compositions.

The rapid growth of instructional videos repositories and their widespread use as a tool to support education have raised the need of studies to assess the quality of those educational resources and their impact on the quality of learning process that depends on them. Khan Academy (KA) repository is one of the prominent educational videos' repositories. It is famous and widely used by different types of learners, students and teachers. To better understand its characteristics and the impact of such repositories on education, we gathered a huge amount of KA data using its API and different web scraping techniques, then we analyzed them. This paper reports the first quantitative and descriptive analysis of Khan Academy repository (KA repository) of open video lessons. First, we described the structure of repository. Then, we demonstrated some analyses highlighting content-based growth and evolution. Those descriptive analyses spotted the main important findings in KA repository. Finally, we focused on users' interactions with video lessons. Those interactions consisted of questions and answers posted on videos. We developed interaction profiles for those videos based on the number of users' interactions. We conducted regression analysis and statistical tests to mine the relation between those profiles and some quality related proposed metrics. The results of analysis showed that all interaction profiles are highly affected by video length and reuse rate in different subjects. We believe that our study demonstrated in this paper provides valuable information in understanding the logic and the learning mechanism inside learning repositories, which can have major impacts on the education field in general, and particularly on the informal learning process and the instructional design process. This study can be considered as one of the first quantitative studies to shed the light on Khan Academy as an open educational resources (OER) repository. The results presented in this paper are crucial in understanding KA videos repository, its characteristics and its impact on education.

This paper is dedicated to studying the quantitative analysis method with remote-sensing data in shallow geological structure reconstruction by the example of TM data in western China. A new method of computing attitude of geological contacts from remote-sensing data is developed and assessed. We generate several geological profiles with remotely derived measurements to constrain the shallow geological structure reconstruction in three dimensions.

The behavior of rock mass and solute(e.g. groundwater, radioactivity) flow in fractured rock can be directly influenced by joint roughness. The characteristics of joint roughness is also a main factor for the rock classification(e.g. RMR, Q system) which is usually used in tunnel design. Nevertheless, most of JRC estimation has been carried out only by the examination with the naked eye. This JRC estimation has a lack of objectivity because each investigator judges JRC by his subjective opinion. Therefore, it will be desirable that the assessment of JRC is performed by a numerical analysis which can give a quantitative value corresponding to the characteristics of a roughness curve. Meanwhile, roughness curves for joint surfaces which are observed in drill cores have been obtained only along linear profiles. Although roughness curves are measured in the same joint surface, they can frequently show diverse aspects in a standpoint of roughness characteristics. If roughness curves can be measured along the elliptical circumferences of joint surfaces from core scanning images or Televiewer images, they will certainly be more comprehensive than those measured along linear profiles for roughness characteristics of joint surfaces. This study is focus on dealing with (1) extracting automatically roughness curves from core scan image or Televiewer image, (2) improving the accuracy of quantitative assessment of JRC using fractal dimension concept.

리스크 관리에 기반한 교량관리를 위해서는 시간 및 환경에 따른 성능변화를 예측하기 위한 성능이력모델이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 성능이력모델의 산출은 어려운 작업이므로 전문가 의견 또는 교량의 겉보기 상태 진단평가 기록을 이용한 상태 성능 이력모델이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 상태성능 이력모델은 교량의 실제 안전도와는 일치하지 않은 경우가 많아 근본적인 문제를 내포하고 있다. 성능 평가 및 이에 따른 성능이력모델의 정확도는 교량 유지관리 시스템(Bridge Management System, BMS)의 정확도와 직접적인 관계가 있으며 유지관리 예산의 합리적인 분배를 위한 최적 대안 산출을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법, 즉 정성적 전문가 의견 및 불충분한 정기점검 기록에 의해 작성되는 상태 성능 이력모델의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 열화를 고려한 수치해석결과를 바탕으로 산출되는 안전성능이력모델을 제안하였다. 제안한 성능이력모델 구축을 위해서 다양한 교량 형식이 검토 되었으며, 그 중 설계 변수 간 종속성이 높아 고려되어져야 할 설계 변수의 수가 비교적 적은 강박스 교량을 중심으로 다양한 환경 조건 및 시간에 따른 안전성능이력의 변화를 분석하였다. 교량 유지관리 시스템 내에서의 안전성능 이력모델의 역할은 특정 환경 하에서 시간에 따른 안전성능변화 예측에 있으며 안전성능이력모델의 산출 속도는 시설물 관리시스템의 효율성에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 일반적으로 실시간 해석을 수행하기 보다는 기 작성된 예측모델을 사용하는 방법이 주로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 정량적 성능이력의 신속한 산출을 위하여 주요 설계 변수로 구성된 응답면 기법(Response Surface Method, RSM)을 사용하였다. 응답면 기법 적용을 위한 설계 변수 및 설계 값의 범위는 국내 강상자형교 설계 기준, 가이드라인 및 유지관리 자료를 근거로 산정하였다.

Purpose: Patients with taste complaints presenting with various abnormal perceptions and alterations in gustatory function are often encountered in dental clinics. Since taste perception is thought to be influenced by numerous factors including neurological and psychological factors, the gustatory profiles of patients complaining of taste abnormalities should be very different. However, the gustatory profiles based on the clinical subtypes of taste complaints have not been fully studied. This study aimed to better understand the gustatory profiles depending on the clinical subtypes of taste complaints. Methods: Clinical data from 169 patients with complaints of altered taste were retrospectively collected to analyse their clinical and gustatory profiles. These complaints were subdivided into hypergeusia, hypogeusia, and dysgeusia for each taste quality according to the clinical types of these complaints. The gustatory profiles were then established by analysing the detection and recognition thresholds for each taste quality depending on the clinical subtypes of taste complaints. Results: Clinical analysis revealed that patients with taste complaints had widely diverse clinical profiles. There were significant differences between males and females with taste complaints in the prevalence rates of symptoms like dry mouth, tongue coating, and burning sensation. While hypogeusia (76.3%) was the most frequent type of taste complaint, it was revealed that the taste thresholds were not always consistent with the patient's description of gustatory symptoms. Conclusions: Patients with taste complaints exhibited diverse clinical profiles with sex differences. Considering the diversity of the taste complaints, the quantitative gustatory testing methods can be valuable to differentially evaluate the presence and intensity of altered taste in patients with these complaints.

점토질 암석의 광물함량을 효과적이고 실용적으로 분석하는 방법을 X-선 분말회절분석 실험을 통하여 연구하였다. 점토질 암석의 X-선 분말회절 정량분석을 위해서는 측면마운팅(side mounting) 방법에 의한 무작위 배향(random orientation)의 전암(whole-rock) 분말시료의 준비가 필요하다. 또한, 암석을 구성하고 있는 점토광물의 감정을 위하여 2 ㎛ 이하 점토입도의 배향성 마운트(oriented mount)시편의 준비와 에틸렌글리콜 처리, 열처리 등의 실험과정이 요구된다. 정량분석을 위하여 RIR(reference intensity ratio)방법과 리트벨트(Rietveld) 회절도 계산 방법을 사용하였다. RIR값을 사용하여 전암 X-선 회절도로부터 총 점토 함량과 비점토광물(non-clay minerals)들의 함량을 얻을 수가 있었다. 또한, 점토입도의 배향성 X-선 회절도로부터는 각각 점토광물의 상대함량을 계산하여 이를 총 점토광물에 할당할 수가 있었다. 전암 X-선 회절의 리트벨트 방법에서는 10°(2θ) 미만의 X-선 회절 영역은 제외한 후에 리트벨트 회절도를 계산하였을 때 효과적인 정량분석 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 분석결과는 RIR방법과 리트벨트 방법이 서로 근사한 정량분석 값을 보여주었다. 따라서, 연구결과는 실험실에서의 일상적인 점토질암의 광물정량분석을 성공적으로 수행하는 것이 가능함을 지시한다. 그러나, 점토광물은 화학적 및 구조적 특정이 다른 수많은 변종이 존재하기 때문에 점토질암의 정량분석은 아직도 도전해야 하는 과제이다.
