PURPOSES : This paper presents a quality evaluation of Korean foamed asphalt, which uses the maximum expansion ratio and half-life method. The maximum expansion ratio and half-life method are used to determine the optimum water content to produce a foamed asphalt mixture. The foamed asphalt mixture according to determine an optimum water content with this method; the mixture quality was compared with hot mix asphalt mixture. METHODS : For the foamed asphalt mixed design, the water content was determined in addition to the Marshall mixing design method. The water content was determined using the ratio of the maximum to minimum volume and the time for the volume to decrease to half of the maximum volume. We conducted stability, indirect tensile strength, tensile strength ratio, dynamic immersion, and absorption rate tests to compare the foamed and hot mixed asphalt mixtures. RESULTS : The foam asphalt mixture exhibited less performance reduction due to temperature change than the hot mixed asphalt mixture. Most of the two mixture types exhibited similar performance. In addition, both mixtures should use an anti-stripping agent to improve water resistance. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of the laboratory test, the foamed asphalt mixture was able to ensure a similar performance to the hot-mixed asphalt mixture.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluation method for aged reclaimed asphalt pavements using RAP mortar specimen and FTIR method. METHODS: To evaluate the low-temperature behavior of aged reclaimed asphalt pavements, an indirect tensile strength test was adopted with an RAP mortar specimen. The RAP mortar specimen without a rejuvenator was fabricated with two fine aggregate types as a function of passing sieve sizes. The fabricated RAP mortar specimen was frozen for 24 h at -20℃. The indirect tensile strength was measured as a function of different absolute viscosities. The indirect tensile strength and displacement were varied as functions of the dosage of the rejuvenator. The spectroscopy analysis of four asphalt binders was performed under attenuated total reflection. The four asphalt binders comprised of a virgin binder, two extracted RAP binders, and a mixed virgin and extracted RAP binder. To evaluate the oxidation of the binder, the carbonyl index was calculated. RESULTS : The four extracted RAP binders were measured with an extremely wide range of absolute viscosity from 30,000 poise to 170,000 poise. The indirect tensile strength of the RAP mortar decreased as the absolute viscosity increased. This means that at lower temperatures, the indirect tensile strength can indicate the oxidation of RAP. Also, the indirect tensile strength and displacement changed sensitively as the dosage of the rejuvenator was changed. Based on the FTIR principle, a good relation was observed between the dosage of the rejuvenator and the FTIR absorbance peak. It can be used to estimate the dosage of the rejuvenator in hot reclaimed asphalt mixture. Also, the carbonyl index of the RAP binder was calculated to evaluate asphalt oxidation using the FTIR principle. CONCLUSIONS : There is a good relation between the indirect tensile strength of RAP mortar and its absolute viscosity. This indicates that RAP mortar can be used to estimate the properties of aged RAP. Also, the usage of rejuvenator can be evaluated with both the indirect tensile strength and FTIR absorbance peak. The carbonyl index can be used to predict asphalt oxidation.

고방오리는 국내에 도래하는 주요 월동 조류이며, 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(HPAI)의 주요매개체로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 월동하는 고방오리의 행동권과 서식지 이용을 파악하여 수조류 서식지 보호･관리에 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 이루어졌다. 연구에 이용된 시료는 2015년 월동기에 Cannon-net을 이용하여 포획된 6개체이며, GPS-이동통신 시스템을 기반으로 하는 야생동물위치추적장치(WT-300)를 부착한 후 조사되었다. 행동권은 GIS용 SHP 파일과 ArcGIS 9.0 Animal Movement Extension을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 커널밀도측정법(Kernel Density Estimation : KDE)과 최소볼록다각형법 (Minimum Convex Polygon Method : MCP)을 이용하였다. 고방오리의 행동권은 최소볼록다각형법에 의해서 평균 677.3km²이었다. 커널밀도측정법(KDE)로는 평균 194.7km²(KDE 90%), 77.4km²(KDE 70%), 35.3km²(KDE 50%)로 나타났다. 서식지 이용은 해양수, 내륙습지와 같은 수계지역을 가장 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 주간보다 야간에 농경지를 더 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구를 통해 얻은 월동기 행동권과 서식지 이용률 등과 같은 결과는 종 보호와 서식지 관리 및 고병원성 조류 인플루엔자 발병 시 대응을 위한 자료로 널리 활용될 것이라 판단된다.

Location based service and AR(Augmented Reality) techniques have been one of the most important areas in current computer games and mobile application. This paper presents GPU(Graphics Process Unit) based image recognition system for outdoor games and mobile application. In learning stage, we extract features from input image sequence and convert them into meta information in database. User captures then a query image that is sent to GPU based server system. The proposed system build a descriptor codebook using BRISK and SURF descriptors, and employs codebook with re-ranking information based on homography.

유비쿼터스 환경에서 최근 스마트 폰에서 증강현실(Augmented Reality) 서비스가 활발히 구현되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 아이폰에 탑재된 카메라와 가속도 센서를 이용한 모바일 증강현실 시스템을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 카메라만을 이용하는 경우, 가려짐이나 빠른 움직임으로 인해 마커를 검출하지 못하는 상황이 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 마커가 가려지는 시점에서부터 아이폰에서 제공되는 가속도 출력값을 사용하여 일정 시간 동안의 카메라의 움직임을 해석함으로써 모바일 게임용 증강현실 어플리케이션을 제공하는 기술이 제안된다. 실험결과로부터 마커가 가려지는 경우에도 모바일 단말의 움직임을 효과적으로 해석함을 확인하였다.

For the screening of Brucella antibodies in pig, 2,140 pig serum samples were collected from six slaughter house in Korea between 2006 and 2007. The Rose Bengal test (RBT) and serum agglutination test (SAT) were used for initial screening for specific antibodies to Brucella, and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) was used for confirmation of presence of serum antibody for Brucella. Overall, 575 (26.9%) samples resulted in seropositive in RBT. In SAT, 50 (2.3%) and 10 (0.5%) samples showed suspicious positive and positive reaction, respectively, however, all sera tested in this study showed a negative reaction in C-ELISA. SAT and C-ELISA might be applicable as a tool for screening of swine brucellosis.
