본 논문에서는 조타기 작동 신호에 대하여 AIS 통신을 이용하여 상호 교환함으로써 상대선의 선회정보를 보다 신속히 파악할 수 있는 선회조기감지시스템을 구축하였으며, 이를 실선에 적용하여 해당 시스템의 실효성을 검증하였다. 조타 신호가 조타기를 작동함과 동시에 AIS를 통하여 송신되어 상대선의 ECDIS에 사용된 타각만큼 유색으로 표시되는 것을 확인하였다. 선회조기감지시스템을 통하여 상대선의 변침 상황을 조기에 감지할 수 있었으며, 이를 통한 선박 상호간 충돌회피가 조기에 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 의심 선박에 대한 VTS의 적극적 관제가 가능하고, 해양안전종합정보시스템을 통한 해양사고 분석에도 활용 가능할 것이다.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been a focus of cancer prevention studies due to the fact that it occurs by a multistep process and that a precancerous lesion in the oral mucosa is easily accessible. The present study was aimed at developing an optical detection system using autofluorescence spectrum measurements for the early detection of oral cancer. The optical detection system was designed to use an excitation wavelength of 337 nm emanating from a Xenon lamp. Precancerous and cancerous lesions were created in the hamster buccal pouch by treatment with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Four groups of five hamsters each were used in this experiment. The right buccal pouch was treated with 0.5% DMBA to induce carcinogenesis while the left buccal pouch was treated with mineral oil as a control. The autofluorescence of both buccal pouches was measured weekly. A difference in the excitation pattern between the normal and the carcinogen-treated tissue was noticed after three weeks. Specifically, the intensity of the autofluorescence spectrum in the DMBA-treated buccal pouch was increased at wavelengths between 400 and 450 nm. The results of the autofluorescence measurements were compared to histological findings and show that the intensity of the autofluorescence increased along with the stage of epithelial dysplasia. Based on the fact that one of the autofluorophores in this tissue is NADH, we measured the fluorescence at the 450-nm NADH wavelength to conclude that the increased autofluorescence in the dysplastic areas may be caused by NADH. Based on these data, we suggest that autofluorescence optical methods are a useful tool for the early detection of oral cancer.

Early alarm system is to detect slope movement before its collapse for road manager to respond quickly. In this paper, alarm criteria for this system is suggested when vibration and angle sensor are used.

After operating Early detection of slope movement and alarm system, it is found that several improvements are necessary. Especially, alarm criteria for slope movement is critical in reliable operation of the system.
