In this paper, automatic structure boundary extraction is proposed using terrestrial LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) in 3-dimensional data. This paper describes an algorithm which does not use pictures and pre-processing. In this algorithm, an efficient decimation method is proposed, considering the size of object, the amount of LIDAR data, etc. From these decimated data, object points and non-object points are distinguished using distance information which is a major features of LIDAR. After that, large and small values are extracted using local variations, which can be candidate for boundary. Finally, a boundary line is drawn based on the boundary point candidates. In this way, the approximate boundary of the object is extracted.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the dimensional stability of a complete-arch prosthesis processed by conventional method in water bath or microwave energy and polymerized by two different curing cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty maxillary complete-arch prostheses were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10): MW1 - acrylic resin cured by one microwave cycle; MW2 - acrylic resin cured by two microwave cycles: WB1 - conventional acrylic resin polymerized using one curing cycle in a water bath; WB2 - conventional acrylic resin polymerized using two curing cycles in a water bath. For evaluation of dimensional stability, occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and area of contact points were measured in two different measurement times: before and after the polymerization method. A digital caliper was used for OVD measurement. Occlusal contact registration strips were used between maxillary and mandibular dentures to measure the contact points. The images were measured using the software IpWin32, and the differences before and after the polymerization methods were calculated. The data were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The results demonstrated significant statistical differences for OVD between different measurement times for all groups. MW1 presented the highest OVD values, while WB2 had the lowest OVD values (P<.05). No statistical differences were found for area of contact points among the groups (P=.7150). CONCLUSION. The conventional acrylic resin polymerized using two curing cycles in a water bath led to less difference in OVD of complete-arch prosthesis.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to explore home visiting therapists' self-perceived role, problems, and supplement points of the home-based rehabilitation (HR) program based on the community-based rehabilitation (CBR) model. Methods: Four home visiting physical therapists, who conducted the HR program, participated in this study. After completion of the HR program, in-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire for participants to explore their self-perceived role, problems, and supplement points of the HR program. Results: Participants regarded the role of the HR program as for "the linkage between recipient & society", "maintenance & improvement of recipients' physical function", and "education of recipient about the way of self rehabilitation". The problems and supplement points were derived from all phases of the HR program, including "human & material resources", "training program for human resources for HR service", "selection of recipient of HR service", "contents of the intervention for HR service", and "duration of HR service". Conclusion: These findings indicate that participants well recognized the intention of the HR program based on the CBR model, and suggest that high-quality human resources with rich expertise and experiences, a training program for HR service led by experts, and selection of recipients led by experts are necessary for an effective HR program. In addition, strategies and capacities specified to HR service should be identified, and applied to the training program for human resources for HR service. The results of this study could provide useful information when the government decides on the next guideline for home visiting health service.

In effort to help vitalize environmental education which is the most efficient way to preserve environment and solve environmental problems and also to provide necessary basic data, this research was conducted on the primary and secondary school teachers in Daegu for their awareness of the elements of environmental education, for their interests in environment and environmental issues, for their sensitivity on the seriousness of the environmental issues and for their knowledge of environmental vocabulary. Followings are the results: 1. 96% of the teachers supported the necessity of school education on environment, but only 51% went for adopting environment as an independent subject. 2. The majority of 57% said that they came to recognize environment and environmental issues 'through media such as TV and radio'. For the desirable form of environmental education, 64% supported 'field study or experience activity'. As for the undermining factors, the majority of 50% cited 'excessive focus of school education on college entrance' and 29% 'limitations of class hours'. 3. With regard to their interests in environment and environmental issues, they were between 3.43～4.08 point range out of 5 points. For their sensitivity about the seriousness of environment and environmental problems, the survey showed the range of 3.49～4.28 points out of 5 points. 4. There was no remarkable difference in the level of recognition between male and female teacher. But, according to disparity of age, teachers who are in their forties and fifties recognized better than teachers in twenties and thirties. Also, there was a striking difference among primary school, middle school, and high school teachers. High school teachers had the highest recognition level, while, middle school teachers had the lowest recognition level.

Purpose : This study aims to examine hospital employees' subjective symptoms of VDT syndrome (Video display terminal syndrome) and figure out their effects on health conditions and correlations. Materials and Methods : This study used a structured self-administering questionnaire and gained data from 125 subjects. The questionnaire consists of total 62 questions, and they went through real number, percentage, ${\chi}^2$-terst, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and logistic regression analysis. Results : Regarding the difference in the types of subjective symptoms of VDT syndrome by jobs, there was statistically significant difference in ophthalmic symptoms, systemic symptoms, and musculoskeletal symptoms. About the correlation between the subjective symptom points of VDT syndrome by the types of symptoms, there was statistically significant correlation all in skin trouble, backache, upper limb muscle pain, lower limb muscle pain, fatigue in the head and eyes, and depression or anxiety disorders. There was significant correlation between the subjective symptom points of VDT syndrome and subjective health conditions. Conclusion : Hospital employees' subjective health conditions had significant correlation with subjective symptom points of VDT syndrome. This result shows that as radiologists' and also other hospital employees' working conditions change into VDT environment, VDT syndrome gradually appears more and more. This implies that it is needed to designate not only radiologists but also all the other hospital employees as jobs exposed to the working environment of VDT syndrome and provide preventive measures, education, and publicity for it afterwards.

In mid-90's, the Korean government introduced the GIS(Geographic Information System) to digitalize every topography of national land and thereby, index locations and attributes of various urban facilities to construct a system whereby every information could be managed and operated in an integrated way, but the reliability of such geographic information has yet to be tested, much less its modification, complementation and maintenance. Under such circumstances, this study was aimed at constructing a reference point infrastructure for Seoul and Kyonggi area and comparing the data obtained from the GPS operation and various facility location data with the existing GIS data to address the problems of GIS operation and suggest their solutions. As a result of calculating the GPS reference point data and analyzing the deviations of the unknown point data in comparison with the fixed point ones, it was found that the horizontal location values were reliable within +/- 5cm, but that the above-sea level values varied as much as 1.4m depending on the deployment of pre-set fixed points determined by the direct level gauging. In addition, as a result of directly surveying major facilities around the roads based on the coordinates of the urban reference points networked with such a reference point system to check their conformity to existing data, it was confirmed that the difference was as wide as 2m. Such differences may be attributable to the fact that the data with their geographic information not confirmed are used as basic data for GIS. Hence, this study suggests the ways to set the absolute geographic data based on reference points and test the reliability of existing data and thereby, suggests a methods to solve the problems.

In this study, we made a survey of the degree of satisfaction and performance of daily life activities on independent elderly households in the detached house. The purpose of this study is to suggest basic data for elderly housing design to be considered elder's characteristics. A survey carried out for 110 respondents with face to face interview visiting each house between May and June, 1999 with modified and drawn questionnaire from analysis of preparatory investigation data. The questionnaire was composed of the general characteristics of respondents, general characteristics of housing, residents' satisfaction with the use of housing space, performance degree of the elder's daily activities. To analyze the data of 106 cases, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviations, one-way ANOVA, reliability analysis and Scheffe test were used by running SPSSWIN program. The results on the housing satisfaction and performance of activities in daily life of elderly in the detached house were as follows.: In this survey, the elderly had high value in satisfaction with the size of current house as the mean 3.14 points, but they were dissatisfied with the rising of house as the mean 2.82 points. The satisfaction with living room space was the highest but the satisfaction with toilet space was lower than others. Among the activities of daily life in housing space, housing related activity was the hardest to perform as the mean of 3.15 points. In consequence, consideration on and interest in the planning of residential spaces are needed so that the elderly can perform the action of housing life effectively and efficiently.

The informations concerning knowledge, value and consumption pattern for rice foods of elementary schoolchildren (630 boys and 550 girls in 5th or 6th grade) were investigated in Changwon and Gimhae of Gyeongnam province. They were asked based on knowledge, one’s value and intake frequence of rice foods by questionnaries. Menus for 3 days including 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day were taken from 136 students (77 boys and 59 girls) in two Elementary Schools in Changwon and Gimhae to know intake reality of rice product. The purpose of this survey was to find the way of encouraging rice intake and preference which now seemed to be low because of simplified, westernized eating habits, and to provide basic information needed for inheriting and improving our traditional cooked rice centered eating culture. The results are summarized as follows. The knowledge of rice was positively correlated to the one’s value (r=0.365, p<0.001) and the preference (r=0.132, p<0.001), the one’s value was positively correlated to preference (r=0.409, p<0.001). The score of knowledge for rice was 12.8 points out of 20, the girls get points(13.12) significantly higher than the boys (12.53) (p<0.01). One's value about rice foods was 37.35 points out of 50 what is relatively high. They have eaten cooked rice type food for 2.24 times per day. Both boys and girls in Changwon and Gimhae area were having cooked rice type food significantly more during weekdays compared to weekends (p<0.001) by 3 days food record. According the results, we can see the possibility that schoolchildren can be encouraged to eat more rice foods by nutritional education to go with the development of various programs.

For the efficient routing on a Sensor Network, one may consider a deployment problem to interconnect the sensor nodes optimally. There is an analogous theoretic problem: the Steiner Tree problem of finding the tree that interconnects given points on a plane optimally. One may use the approximation algorithm for the problem to find out the deployment that interconnects the sensor nodes almost optimally. However, the Steiner Tree problem is to interconnect mathematical set of points on a Euclidean plane, and so involves particular cases that do not occur on Sensor Networks. Thus the approach of using the algorithm does not make a proper way of analysis. Differently from the randomly given locations of mathematical points on a Euclidean plane, the locations of sensors on Sensor Networks are assumed to be physically dispersed over some moderate distance with each other. By designing an approximation algorithm for the Sensor Networks in terms of that physical property, one may produce the execution time and the approximation ratio to the optimality that are appropriate for the problem of interconnecting Sensor Networks.
