In the case of spattered blood in bloodstain pattern analysis, the impact angle can be calculated by looking at the shape and size of it. The impact angle is a constant angle that occurs when the blood droplet touches the target surface, and the formula sin = W / L is used to calculate the impact angle. This formula is now used in the analysis of bloodstain patterns, and the results show that the error rate is about 18 % depending on the conditions. Nevertheless, since there is no formula to reduce the error rate, a new modification formula is being studied. In this study, the optimum impact angle calculation formula is derived from the wall surface where many scattered blood is found in crime scene in Korea and the error rate of the other impact angle calculation formula is compared. Currently, the use of wallpaper in Korea has a tendency to increase rapidly in silk wallpaper. However, the most cheap and easy-to-install wallpaper, which is still used the largest percentage, has been used as the target surface. Experimental results on the optimal angle of impact angle along the surface revealed that the optimal formulas were different for each surface and the -12 to 0 % error rate was observed when the optimal formula for one surface was applied to the other surface. Therefore, the optimal angle of impact angle should be applied differently depending on the surface, and accordingly, a database of optimal formulas for each surface is required. In the case of the laminated wallpaper, when the experimental condition for obtaining the optimized formula is not available, the improvement formula W / L = 0.9145 sin (0.02619? + 0.6478) + 0.5629 sin (0.04441? + 3.9020) will contribute to solve the case by deducing the correct impact angle value from the existing formula.

In this article, we propose a new protocol at fast scan mode for a sea-surface small target detection. The conventional fast scan mode is composed of coherent intrascan integration to suppress sea clutter and non-coherent interscan integration to exclude sea spikes. The proposed method realizes the coherent interscan integration by the new Fourier relationship between carrier-frequency and initial-radial-range, which can be analytically derived by using multiple carrier frequencies at fast scan mode, leading to improved detection performance, compared to the conventional non-coherent methods. In simulations, our proposed method is verified.

Background/Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA integration in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) can be targeted by HBV-specific T cells. SCG101 is an autologous, HBV-specific T-cell product expressing a T-cell receptor (TCR) after lentiviral transduction recognizing the envelope-derived peptide (S20-28) on HLA-A2. We here validated its safety and efficacy preclinically and applied it to an HBV-related HCC patient (NCT05339321). Methods: Good Manufacturing Practice-grade manufactured cells were assessed for off-target reactivity and functionality against hepatoma cells. Subsequently, a patient with advanced HBV-HCC (Child-Pugh class A, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0, hepatitis B e antigen-, serum hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]+, HBsAg+ hepatocytes 10%) received 7.9×107 cells/kg after lymphodepletion. Safety, T-cell persistence, and antiviral and antitumor efficacy were evaluated. Results: SCG101, produced at high numbers in a closed-bag system, showed HBV-specific functionality against HBV-HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, treatment was well tolerated, and all adverse events, including transient hepatic damage, were reversible. On day 3, ALT levels increased to 1,404 U/L, and concurrently, serum HBsAg started decreasing by 3.84 log10 and remained <1 IU/mL for over six months. HBsAg-expressing hepatocytes in liver biopsies were undetectable after 73 days. The patient achieved a partial response according to modified RECIST with a >70% reduction in target lesion size. Transferred T cells expanded, developed a stem cell-like memory phenotype, and were still detectable after six months in the patient’s blood. Conclusions: SCG101 T-cell therapy showed encouraging efficacy and safety in preclinical models and in a patient with primary HBV-HCC and concomitant chronic hepatitis B with the capability to eliminate HBsAg+ cells and achieve sustained tumor control after single dosing.

This paper is concerned with an analysis of the back scattering of electromagnetic waves from a target moving along random rough surfaces such as the desert, and sea. First, the discrete ray tracing method(DRTM) is introduced, and then, this method is applied to the back scattering problem in order to investigate the effect of the back scattering from random rough surfaces on the electric field intensities. Finally, numerical examples of various height deviations of the Gaussian type of rough surfaces are shown. It is numerically demonstrated that the back scattering is dominated by the diffractions related to the reflections from the random rough surfaces.

Thin films of $YB_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-d}$ were prepared on various substrated of MgO(100), $SrTiO_{3}$, and $LaAlO_{3}$ by using off-axis magentron sputtering methods and annealing in-situ. The prarameters of film fabrication processes had been optimized through a "follow the lcoal maxima" strategy to yield good quality films in therms of the critical temperature $T_{c}$ and the critical current density $J_{c}$. Optimizedproecsses employing a plane magndtron and an cylindrical magnetron yielded $T_{c}$>90K along with $J_{c}$$10^{6}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77K and > 2${\times}$$10^{7}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 5K. The sampels, however, showed degradationinthe properties, after chemical etching for fabrication of microbridges with the line width of 2-10 mocrons. In particular, the value of $T_{c}$ for the microbridges of 2microns was as small as 80%. The degradation was strongly dependent on the line width through a formula : $T_{c}$(e)=$T_{c}$)b) [1-a exp(-1000 bL)} where $T_{c}$(e) and $T_{c}$ (b) are the values of $T_{c}$ in the absolute scale measured after and before chemical etching, respectively and L is the line width in mm. By utilizing a best fitting technique, the proper constant values of a and to b were found as exp(-1.2) and 0.22, respectively. This formula was very useful in estimatiing the upper limit of the device operationtemperature.

이 논문의 목적은 Target field approach방법을 사용하여 2차원적인 공간선택을 할 수 있는 고차 평면 경사 자계코일(High-Order SGC: High-Order Surface Gradient Coil)을 설계하는 것이다. 지금까지 쓰이던 원통형의 고차경사자제코일을 이용한 2차원적 원형 선택방법은 한 개의 RF Pulse로 2차원적인 공간 선택을 할 수 있는 장점이 있었으나 선택되어지는 체적의 지름이 6 ~ 8cm로 너무 크다는 단점이 있었다. 이 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 극복하기 위해 영상을 얻고자하는 부분에 코일을 좀 더 가까이 붙일 수 있어서 적은 전력으로 선택되어지는 체적의 지름을 1 ~ 4cm까지 줄일 수 있는 표면 고차자계코일을 Target field approach방법을 이용하여 설계하였으며 Phantom과 인체영상을 통해 제작된 코일의 성능을 확인해 보았다. 이전의 Field component 방법을 이용하여 설계한 코일에 의해서 선택되어지는 체적은 타원에 가까운 모양이 되었으나, Target field approach 방법을 이용하여 설계한 코일에 의해서 선택되어지는 체적은 이상적인 원에 가까운 모양이 되었다.

The purpose of this paper is to design high-order (or radial) surface gradient coil (SGC), which can provide multi-dimensional spatial selection. Although the spatial Selection with High-Order gradienT (SHOT) can provide a 2-D selection with only one selective RF pulse, the high-order gradient pro- duced by conventional cylindrical-shape coils has not been clinically useful due to the large selection size caused by the limited radial gradient intensity. However, by using the proposed high-order SGCs located near the imaging region, the size of volume selection can be reduced to a clinically useflll size of 1-2 cm in diameter by applying stronger radial gradient field with much less gradient driving power. So far radial SGCs have been designed by using the field component method and may cause distortion in the selection shapes. In this paper, by using the target field approach for the coil design, selected volumes became almost circular. A 40 cm-by-40 cm $z^2$_surface gradient coil has been designed and implemented by using the target field approach. Phantom and volunteer studies have been performed Experimental results using spatially localized MRI show good agreement to the theoretically predicted behavior.

With the decreasing availability of sailors, there has been an increasing focus on the development of autonomous ships. Among the various components of autonomous ships, automatic recognition systems that can replace human vision are a crucial area of research. While ongoing studies utilize traditional perception sensors such as RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) and AIS (Automatic Identification System), they have limitations such as blind spots and a restricted detection range. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a new recognition method that utilizes multiple cameras, including electro-optical and infrared radiation cameras, to supplement traditional perception sensors. This method aims to detect maritime obstacles accurately and estimate their dynamic motion using a tracking process. Initially, real-sea images were collected for maritime obstacle detection, and a deep-learning-based detection model was trained on them. The detection results were then employed in an adaptive tracking filter, which allowed the precise motion estimation of the obstacles. Furthermore, to compensate for the limitations of using individual cameras as sensors, this study introduces the simultaneous fusion of tracked data from multiple cameras. This fusion process enhances tracking results in various ways. In field tests using multiple Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), the proposed method successfully converged tracking results within the range of GPS errors. In addition, the fusion of tracked data from multiple cameras significantly improved the tracking results obtained from a single camera.

본 논문에서는 보호대상 서버 네트워크에 디코이 트랩을 통한 공격 표면 확장의 적용 방법을 제안한다. 보호대상 서버 네트워크는 많은 수의 디코이들과 보호대상 서버로 구성되며, 각 보호대상 서버는 Hidden Tunner Networking이라는 네트워크 기반 이동 표적 방어 기법에 따라 IP 주소와 포트 번호를 변이한다. 이동 표적 방어는 공격을 막기 위하여 지속적으로 시스템의 공격 표면을 변경하는 사이버 보안에서의 새로운 접근방법이다. 공격 표면 확장은 공격을 막기 위해 디코이와 디코이 그룹을 활용하는 접근방법이다. 제안하는 방법에서는 공격자가 디코이 트랩에서 공격자의 모든 시간과 노력을 허비하도록 커스텀 체인과 RETURN 타켓을 사용하여 보호대상 서버의 NAT 테이블을 수정한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 방법이 적용되기 전과 후에 보호대상 서버 네트워크에서의 공격자 성공률을 수식으로 계산한다. 제안하는 방법은 보호대상 서버가 공격자에 의해 식별되고 공격당할 확률을 현저히 줄일 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a method to apply the attack surface expansion through decoy traps to a protected server network. The network consists of a large number of decoys and protected servers. In the network, each protected server dynamically mutates its IP address and port numbers based on Hidden Tunnel Networking that is a network-based moving target defense scheme. The moving target defense is a new approach to cyber security and continuously changes system's attack surface to prevent attacks. And, the attack surface expansion is an approach that uses decoys and decoy groups to protect attacks. The proposed method modifies the NAT table of the protected server with a custom chain and a RETURN target in order to make attackers waste all their time and effort in the decoy traps. We theoretically analyze the attacker success rate for the protected server network before and after applying the proposed method. The proposed method is expected to significantly reduce the probability that a protected server will be identified and compromised by attackers.

화학기상증착법(CVD)을 이용하여 Cu-foil 위에 합성된 대면적의 단층 그래핀(Graphene)을 폴리머 탄성융합체 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)를 이용하여 건식으로 전사하는 기술을 연구하였다. 이때, $UV/O_3$처리를 통해 목표 기판(target substrate)의 표면 개질을 변화시켜 그래핀의 손상이 최소화되로록 그래핀을 전사하였다. 이 과정을 반복 실행하여 그래핀을 다층(1~4 layers)으로 $SiO_2/Si$기판 위에 적층하였으며, 전사된 다층 그래핀의 품질평가를 위하여 광투과율과 면저항의 변화를 측정하였다.

In this paper, we study the dry transfer technology utilizing PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) stamp of a large single-layer graphene grown on Cu-foil as catalytic metal by using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). By changing the surface property of the target substrate through $UV/O_3$ treatment, we can transfer the graphene on the target substrate while minimizing mechanical damages of graphene layer. Multi-layer (1~4 layers) graphene was stacked on $SiO_2/Si$ wafer successfully by repeating thetransfer method/process and then optical transmittance and sheet resistance of graphene layers have been measured as a quality assessment.

In fiber optic sensor, the error of the measurement is influenced by the surface roughness of the target and surroundings, especially the outside light. To reduce or modify this error, the sensitivity of the fiber optic sensor and the noise change by the surface roughness of the target should be known. The purpose of this paper is to observe the sensitivity of the fiber optic sensor and the noise according to the surface roughness of the target.

To evaluate the suitability of the Weaponeering tool for the Surface to Surface Guided Missile at the Above-Ground Buildings, we analyzed the relation among SSPD, $MAE_{bldg}$, CEP and the number of missiles, expected damage etc.. According to the analysis, if the target Length is 100m, and $\sqrt{MAE_{bldg}}$ is longer than the target length, the tool is suitable but shorter than it, the tool is not suitable. So Morris Driels's Weaponeering Tool needs new adaptive algorithm to Translate as the Target size and $MAE_{bldg}$.

2차원 평면 입력을 통한 모델링에서는 입력 값을 3차원 데이타로 바꾸기 위한 기능과 메뉴들이 필요하지만 가상공간 디자인을 위한 3차원 입력 시스템은 입력 값을 곧바로 3차원 데이타로 변환될 수 있다. 하지만 3차원 입력시스템에서 효율적인 곡면 모델링 방법, 특히 곡면 변형 방법은 제안되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 변형방법이 3차원 입력시스템에서 적용되었을 때 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 제시한다. 그리고 디자이너가 접근하기 쉬운 목표곡선을 이용한 변형을 제안한다. 이와 같은 3차원 목표곡선을 이용한 변형을 통해 디자이너가 보다 쉽게 3차원 입력시스템에 접근하여 가상공간 스케칭 및 디자인을 구현할 수 있다.

2D input data have to be converted into 3D data by means of some functions and menu system in 2D input modeling system. But data in 3D input system for virtual spatial design can be directly connected to the 3D modeling data. Nevertheless, efficient surface modeling and deformation algorithm for the 3D input modeling system are not proposed yet. In this paper, problems of conventional NURBS surface deformation methods which can occur when applied in the 3D input modeling system are introduced. And NURBS surface deformation by 3D target curves, in which the designer can easily approach, are suggested. Designer can efficiently implement the virtual spatial sketching and design by using the proposed deformation algorithm.

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization using GNSS-synchronized surface buoys offers a promising solution for underwater emitter tracking without direct cable or acoustic links. However, the achievable localization accuracy depends on the interplay of buoy geometry, time-synchronization errors, and dynamic tracking constraints. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of these trade-offs using both static and dynamic scenarios. For static localization, Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are evaluated under varying buoy formations and clock errors. For dynamic tracking, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) framework incorporating realistic ping update rates is applied to evaluate track persistence and accuracy over time. Simulation results show that the buoy geometry strongly influences GDOP patterns and error sensitivity, time-synchronization errors above the millisecond scale rapidly degrade localization performance, and in dynamic tracking, slower ping rates combined with unfavorable geometries can cause error plateaus even when filtering is applied. These findings provide practical guidelines for designing GNSS-synchronized buoy networks by balancing geometry selection, synchronization precision, and update rate according to operational requirements.

현재 NASA에서 제공되는 MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09)는 MODIS영상을 이용한 각종 주제자료들의 중요한 입력 자료로 사용되고 있으며, MODIS 지표반사율 자료에 대한 객관적인 검증연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MOD09의 검증관련 초기 연구로서, 남한에 분포하는 불변성 타겟(invariant target)을 대상으로 2006년 일별 250m MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09GQK)자료의 객관적 검증을 시도하였다. 우선, MOD09 QA(Quality Assurance)자료를 이용하여 구름의 영향을 받은 화소를 제거한 후, 수치지도와 토지피복도를 이용하여 정의한 불변성 타겟에 해당되는 MOD09영상의 화소값을 추출하였다. 이와 같이 추출된 시계열 MOD09GHK영상의 화소값에 1차 회귀분석을 적용하여 이상 반사율 값을 탐지하고, 그 원인을 분석하였다. 검증 결과 나지지역에 대해서 0.0186의 RMSE값이 나타났으며, 인공물의 경우 0.2891의 RMSE값을 보였다. 발생된 이상 화소를 살펴보면, 구름, 그림자, 눈에 영향에 의해 발생한 것도 있으며, 원인을 알 수 없는 이상 화소들도 분포하였다. 향후 연구에서는 한반도 전역의 MODIS 시계열 반사율영상을 대상으로 MODIS 대기보정알고리즘과 입력인자의 적합성을 판단하기 위한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.
