  • This stduy was carried out to evaluate the ability of clinical application of pregnancy diagnosis based upon the determination of progesterone in serum, utilizing EIA-kit of progesterone concentrations in the serum were assayed by radioimmunoassay. 1. The progesterone concentrations of the pregnant cows(2.40$\pm$0.34ng/ml) were significantly higher than those of non-pregnant cows(1.03$\pm$0.09ng/ml), and thereafter began to increase and maintained high levels. 2. During 20 to 22 days after artificial insemination, the accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis from EIA-kit of progesterone were 95.0% for non-pregnant cows, and 92.3% for pregnant cows. 3. During 20 to 22 days after artificial insemination, the accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis from serum progesterone concentrations were 100% for non-pregnant cows(<1.4ng/ml), and 96.2% for pregnant cows( 2.0ng/ml). The average overall accuracy of prediction for pregnant and non-pregnant cows were 98.1%. 4. Accordingly, the pregnancy diagnosis from EIA-kit of progesterone is thought to be recommendable because this early diagnostic means are simple with accurate results.

  • The accuracy of master cast reproduction by a polyvinylsiloxane impression material using two visible-light curing resin and autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate resin custom tray material was investigated. Custom trays were fabricated from a master cast that had three index points marked on both inner and outer vestibules and then poured in yellow stone. The distance between the reproduced index points were measured to be ${\pm}0.001mm$ with a measuring microscope and the algebraic norms calculated for each tray material. No differences were found in the algebraic norms of inner and outer dimensions for upper tray impressions by ANOVA(p>0.05). However, T-test revealed that there were differences between upper and lower impressions and Tukey's hsd test revealed that in lower tray impressions, the Palatray in inner, the Lightplast in outer dimensions respectively were different from other materials. The index points reproduced on the casts compared with the master cast, were closer together for upper tray impressions. All four tray materials produced acceptable casts, 1. Algebraic norms of inner and outer dimensions of the test casts for upper trays were not statistically different irrespective of materials.(P>0.05) 2. T-test showed that there were differences between means with upper and lower trays especially in outer dimension.(P>0.05) 3. But, algebraic norms of inner and outer dimensions of the test casts for lower trays were statistically different between materials. 4. Palatray XL in inner, Lightplast-platten in outer dimensions respectively for lower trays were different from other materials, but, the nearest to the original model.

  • Recently, as a part of the production of spatial information by smart cities, three-dimensional reproduction of structures for reverse engineering has been attracting attention. In particular, terrestrial LiDAR is mainly used for 3D reproduction of structures, and 3D reproduction research by UAS has been actively conducted. However, both technologies produce blind spots due to the shooting angle. This study deals with vertical structures. 3D model implemented through SfM-based image analysis technology using UAS and reproducibility and effectiveness of 3D models by terrestrial LiDAR-based laser scanning are examined. In addition, two 3D models are merged and reviewed to complement the blind spot. For this purpose, UAS based image is acquired for artificial rock wall, VCP and check point are set through GNSS equipment and total station, and 3D model of structure is reproduced by using SfM based image analysis technology. In addition, Through 3D LiDAR scanning, the 3D point cloud of the structure was acquired, and the accuracy of reproduction and completeness of the 3D model based on the checkpoint were compared and reviewed with the UAS-based image analysis results. In particular, accuracy and realistic reproducibility were verified through a combination of point cloud constructed from UAS and terrestrial LiDAR. The results show that UAS - based image analysis is superior in accuracy and 3D model completeness and It is confirmed that accuracy improves with the combination of two methods. As a result of this study, it is expected that UAS and terrestrial LiDAR laser scanning combination can complement and reproduce precise three-dimensional model of vertical structure, so it can be effectively used for spatial information construction, safety diagnosis and maintenance management.

  • Recently, color proofing in printing industry grow rapidly. If an order decide color from known color information in the case of color reproduction, we can reduce expenses and time. In color proofing the best important point must be closed proofed color to primary color and secondary color. Model-based approaches have the advantages of faster recharacterization and the opportunity of simulating product enhancements such as changes in ink properties and halftoning. In this paper, we transformed the dot area of CMYK to CIELAB color space using color reprodution models. Firstly, we measured spectral reflectance of primary color printed by Matchprint II and the data was used to find tone reproduction curve using regression equation, and than we applied at primary color model, such as Murray-Davies, Yule-Nilsen, and mixed color model, such as Kubelka--Munk, relaxed version of spectral Neugebauser. In such results, the Kubleka-Munk model resulted in the best spectral reconstruction accuracy followed by relaxed version of spectral Neugebauer model, color difference is 2.8401.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of joint position sense between measurements. Fourteen healthy male subjects were recruited for this study. The elbow joint position senses were measured using angle reproduction test. The elbow joint position sense was assessed with three experimental conditions: ipsilateral reproduction test in open-chain condition, contralateral reproduction test in open-chain condition, ipsilateral reproduction test with weight in open-chain condition and ipsilateral reproduction test in closed-chain condition. The angular difference between stimulus position and the reproduced position (angular error) was calculated in all testing conditions to examine the accuracy of the joint position sense. One way ANOVA was used to compare the error angles in all experimental conditions. The error angles between measurements were significantly different in elbow joint. The error angles was smallest in ipsilateral reproduction test with weight in open-chain condition and was greatest in the contralateral reproduction test in open-chain condition. Findings of this study indicate that testing methods, types of task, existence of resistance should be considered in clinical assessment for the joint position sense.

  • The quality of vibration pattern reproduction of elastic structures by the modal expansion method is influenced by the modal expansion method and the sensor placement as well as the accuracy of measured natural modes and the total number of vibration sensors. In this context, this paper presents an improved numerical method for reproducing the vibration patterns by introducing a block-wise modal expansion method (BMEM), together with the genetic algorithm (GA). For a given number of vibration sensors, the sensor positions are determined by an evolutionary optimization using GA and the modal assurance criterion (MAC). Meanwhile, for the proposed block-wise modal expansion, a whole frequency range of interest is divided into several overlapped frequency blocks and the vibration field reproduction is made block by block with different natural modes and different modal participation factors. A hollow cylindrical tank is taken to illustrate the proposed improved modal expansion method. Through the numerical experiments, the proposed method is compared with several conventional methods to justify that the proposed method provides the improved results.

  • In nuclear-related facilities, such as nuclear power plants, research reactors, accelerators, and nuclear waste storage sites, radiation detection, and mapping are required to prevent radiation overexposure. Sensor network systems consisting of radiation sensor interfaces and wxireless communication units have become promising tools that can be used for data collection of radiation detection that can in turn be used to draw a radiation map. During data collection, malfunctions in some of the sensors can occasionally occur due to radiation effects, physical damage, network defects, sensor loss, or other reasons. This paper proposes a reproduction strategy for radiation maps using a U-net model to compensate for the loss of radiation detection data. To perform machine learning and verification, 1,561 simulations and 417 measured data of a sensor network were performed. The reproduction results show an accuracy of over 90%. The proposed strategy can offer an effective method that can be used to resolve the data loss problem for conventional sensor network systems and will specifically contribute to making initial responses with preserved data and without the high cost of radiation leak accidents at nuclear facilities.

  • These experiment was carried out to improve the precision of early pregnancy diagnosis in dairy cattle. Changes in progesterone concentration of milk were measured by Enzyme Immunoassay(EIA) in 73 cows up to 21 days after insemination. The average concentraton of progesterone in milk was 1.9ng/ml at eatrus ; it increased to 17.8ng/ml on day 14, and thereafter it declined to 4.3ng/ml on day 21 in nonpregnant cows. Whereas in pregnant animals, it was maintained and elevated further to 22.2ng/ml on day 21. The accuracy of the pregnancy diagnosis for animals classified as positive (pregnant ; over 10ng/ml and decreasing rate<1.5) and negative (non-pregnant ; under 7ng/ml and decreasing rate>1.5) were 95% and 100% respectively. The samples ranging between 7ng/ml and 10ng/ml were classified as positive (decreasing rate<1.5) and negative(>1.5), which accuracy was 54.5% and 100% respectively. However this range appears to be of the most interest for the veterinary practitioner since cows in proestrus or early interestrus tend to have milk progesterone levels within this value. Causes for the insufficient precision of false pregnancy diagnosis are discussed.

  • The ability to determine the sex of bovine embryos before the transfer is advantageous in livestock management, especially in dairy production, where female calves are preferred in milk industry. The milk production of female and male cattle benefits both the dairy and beef industries. Pre-implantation sexing of embryos also helps with embryo transfer success. There are two approaches for sexing bovine embryos in farm animals: invasive and non-invasive. A non-invasive method of embryo sexing retains the embryo's autonomy and, as a result, is less likely to impair the embryo's ability to move and implant successfully. There are lists of non-invasive embryo sexing such as; Detection of H-Y antigens, X-linked enzymes, and sexing based on embryo cleavage and development. Since it protects the embryo's autonomy, the non-invasive procedure is considered to be the safest. Invasive methods affect an embryo's integrity and are likely to damage the embryo's chances of successful transformation. There are different types of invasive methods such as polymerase chain reaction, detection of male chromatin Y chromosome-specific DNA probes, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), cytological karyotyping, and immunofluorescence (FISH). The PCR approach is highly sensitive, precise, and effective as compared to invasive methods of farm animal embryonic sexing. Invasive procedures, such as cytological karyotyping, have high accuracy but are impractical in the field due to embryonic effectiveness concerns. This technology can be applicable especially in the dairy and beef industry by producing female and male animals respectively. Enhancing selection accuracy and decreasing the multiple ovulation embryo transfer costs.

  • If the mobile station requests the channel allocation in mobile networks, switching center is assigned a channel to mobile station that belong to each base station. Channel allocation schemes is a fixed channel allocation, dynamic channel allocation and a hybrid approach that combines the two forms. To assign a frequency well to use resources efficiently to provide quality service to our customers. In this paper, we proposed method to assign frequencies to minimize interference between channels and to minimizes the number of searching time. The proposed method by the genetic algorithm to improve accuracy and efficiency of the verification steps and reproduction stages were used. In addition, the proposed method by comparing with other methods showed that proposed method is better through the simulations.
