Facial appearance is greatly influenced by illumination conditions, and therefore illumination variation is one of the factors that degrades performance of face recognition systems. In this paper, we propose a robust method for face representation under varying illumination conditions, combining non-alpha Weberface (non-alpha WF) and histogram equalization. We propose a two-step method: (1) for a given face image, non-alpha WF, which is not applied a parameter for adjusting the intensity difference between neighboring pixels in WF, is computed; (2) histogram equalization is performed to non-alpha WF, to make a uniform histogram distribution globally and to enhance the contrast. $(2D)^2PCA$ is applied to extract low-dimensional discriminating features from the preprocessed face image. Experimental results on the extended Yale B face database and the CMU PIE face database show that the proposed method yielded better recognition rates than several illumination processing methods as well as the conventional WF, achieving average recognition rates of 93.31% and 97.25%, respectively.

In order to study gross alpha analysis method using LSC, the efficiency tests with uranium standard materials were performed and then compared with the GPC method (US EPA 900.0 method) using 15 groundwater samples. For 15 groundwater samples, the average efficiencies of the GPC and LSC method were 7~11% and 90%, respectively. The average precisions of the GPC and LSC method were 16.16% and 6.00%, respectively. Also, The average standard deviations for 15 samples were 7.38 pCi/L and 2.95 pCi/L, respectively. The determination coefficient of the tested results by two methods was 0.9948. As a result, the LSC method tested in this study was applicable for the screening of the gross alpha and showed the advantages in the gross alpha measurement due to the simple measurement procedures.

MODM(multiobjective decision-making)problem is very complex system for the analysist and decision maker. Therefore, it requires suitable MODM method to solve multiobjective decision-making problem. This paper presents an interactive fuzzy decision making method for solving multiobjective nonlinear programming problems with fuzzy goals and $\alpha$-cut set of fuzzy numbers. In our interactive method, if the decision maker specifies the degree $\alpha$of the objective value and the imprecise goals, λ-mux problem is solved. To examplify the proposed method, an interactive computer programming written in FORTRAN and an illustrate numerical example along with computer outputs are presented.

There have been a number of experimental or theorethical investigations of transport coefficient for electrons in the field of gas. In this paper the authors present the method by which Townsend first ionization doefficient (.alpha.) or attachment coefficient (.eta.) can be deduced easily and precisely by means of analyzing Townsend equation based on linealized least squares method. The apparent ionization coefficient (.alpha.-.eta.)/p have been analyzed from the experimental data by applying the new method above mentioned. And the values of (.alpha.-.eta.)/p in SF$_{6}$ as a function of E/p were agreement with the values measured by Bhalla et al. who analyzed th experimental pre-breakdown currents. In the same way (.alpha.-.eta.)/p in N$_{2}$O had a same tendency to that of Folkard et al.l.

Given a nonlinear function f : $\mathbb{R}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ that has a simple real zero ${\alpha}$, a new numerical method to be called k-fold pseudo- Halley's method is proposed and it's error analysis is under investigation to confirm the convergence behavior near ${\alpha}$. Under the assumption that f is sufficiently smooth in a small neighborhood of ${\alpha}$, the order of convergence is found to be at least k+3. In addition, the corresponding asymptotic error constant is explicitly expressed in terms of k, ${\alpha}$ and f as well as the derivatives of f. A zero-finding algorithm is written and has been successfully implemented for numerous examples with Mathematica.

As an estimate of a location parameter for a given data set, $\alpha$-trimmed mean has been studied for a long time by many statisticians because of its nice propoerties including robustness. However, its performance depends on the proportion of trimming say $\alpha$. In this paper, we suggest a data-driven choice of $\alpha$ and study its validity. Also, we suggest a new estimator and consider double-bootstrap to improve its performance. By using simulation study, the proposed method is compared with the exiting one in various cases. Real data sets are also analyzed by using the proposed method.

Liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) derivatives was performed using several chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on polysaccharide derivatives under fluorescence detection. For enantiomer separation by normal HPLC, the non-aqueous derivatization method of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters for NBD analytes was introduced. Among the six CSPs used in this study, the performance of Chiralpak IA was superior for enantiomer resolution of NBD derivatives of several ${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl esters. Also the convenient analytical method using polysaccharide-derived CSPs developed in this study was applied to determine the optical purity of ${\alpha}$-amino acids esters. It was investigated that the enantiomeric impurity levels of 0.02-1.73% were found after determination of enantiomeric purities of several commercially available L-amino acid methyl esters. It is expected to be quite useful for enantiomer separation of other ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as NBD derivatives by normal HPLC.

Conducting polymers have band structures similar to those of inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Several electronic devices have been constructed with conjugated polymers, mainly Schottky diodes and Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MISFET's). Organic semiconductor has been reported as active materials in MISFET's.$^{1.4}$ In our laboratory, $\alpha$-Sexithiencyl ($\alpha$-6T) has been synthesized and purified by sublimation method. In this study, thin films of $\alpha$-Sexithienyl were prepared on various substrates in ultra-high vacuum chamber by vacuum evaporation method, so called OMBD(Organic Molocular Beam Deposition).$^{7.9}$ The $\alpha$-Sexithienyl thin films were deposited with various deposition conditions. The crystalline structure, and molecular orientation of these films have being studied by using UV/Vis. spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractometry.

It is effectively removed noise in the image using FCNN(Fuzzy Cellular Neural Network) applying fuzzy theory to CNN(Cellular Neural Network) structure and HD(Hausdorff Distance) commonly used measures for object matching. HD calculates the distance between two point set of pixels in two-dimensional binary images without establishing correspondence. Also, this method is proposed in order to improve the operation speed. In this paper, $\alpha$-LTSHD(Least Trimmed Square HD) operator applying $\alpha$-Trimmed to LTSHD, one field of HD, is applied to FCNN structure, and it is proposed as the modified method in order to remove noise in the image. Also, it is made a comparison with the other filters by using MSE and SNR after removing noise using the FCNNS which are applied $\alpha$-LTSHD operator through the computer simulation. In a result, FCNN performance which is applied the proposed $\alpha$-LTSHD demonstrated the superiority to the other filters in the noise removal.
