This is a study about the audience's aspect of decoding the photography and words comprising photojournalism. For this study, the way of audience's decoding five pictures depicting a foreign worker's death and the captions for each were analyzed. Ethnographic method was used to find distinctive features of the audiences in decoding the pictures. Picture images without any title and caption shown to audiences bring quite different decodings from those of picture images titled and captioned. This led to the following three conclusions. First, picture image added by caption transforms the way the audience decode. Second, the cultural background of an audience works as a major variable, which means how the audience decode the picture image depends on what sort of cultural background the audience has. Third, it is also learned that picture image not captioned would not be able to represent the reality faithfully. The author made an experimental trial in this thesis how the communication process works successfully in a reality that photojournalists tried to represent and the way the audience decode it for the successful communication in photojournalism.

Apart from keeping the body pleasant and protecting it from the environment, the purpose of clothing is to express one's sensibility, sense of belonging, status, and aesthetic sense. In the past, hanbok was also used to express status and class with the colors and the types and according to the times, the forms of hanbok has changed. Nowadays, people choose and wear hanbok that suits their tastes or purposes and various types of hanbok that considered pros and cons of it are now disseminated. Given this reality, traditional shrouds that are worn by the dead should also be designed newly to fit the modern trend. This research aims to analyze how people's sensibility preferences change on the traditional shrouds and the modern shrouds that are designed to fit the current trend. To see the change, this research analyzes sensibility preferences by using Semantic Differential Method on 4 modern shrouds that are used in preceding research and 1 traditional shroud. The survey was answered by total of 130 ordinary people in groups of 26 people in 5 groups who reside in Seoul and Kyungkhi province. As the result of the analysis, firstly, people preferred "high quality", "elegant", and "Korean" sensibility words for modern shrouds 1, 2, 3, and 4. Secondly, on traditional shroud, "uncomfortable", "neutral-elegant", "neutral-Korean", and "neutral-quality" that is closer to low quality sensibility words are preferred. Thirdly, "modest" and "extravagant" did not show any statistically significant difference. I hope this research can provide basic data that can be used to understand and comprehend on people's sensibility preference about shroud designs.

Contourlet transform is an extention of the wavelet transform in two dimensions using the multiscale and directional fillet banks. The contourlet transform has the advantages of multiscale and time-frequency-localization properties of wavelets, but also provides a high degree of directionality. In this paper, we propose a face recognition system based on fusion methods using contourlet transform and PCA. After decomposing a face image into directional subband images by contourlet, features are obtained in each subband by PCA. Finally, face recognition is performed by fusion technique that effectively combines similarities calculated respectively In each local subband. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments for ORL and CBNU dataset, and then we obtained better recognition performance in comparison with the results produced by conventional methods.

Changes in protein, amino acids composition and protein activity of native Meju were investigated at various time intervals over 6 weeks of fermentation by using, gel filtration, and amino acid analyzer. From the quantitative fractionation of native Meju proteins, albumin content (36.4%) was the highest at 4 weeks. During Meju fermentation, albumin increased gradually but glutelin decreased up to 4 weeks. Globulin and prolamin content did not change substantiantiall. When albumin was fractionated by Sephadex G-200, two main peaks were fractionated and a new peak appeared after 4 weeks. Its molecular weight was extimated to be 66,000 by the gel filtration method. Amino acid composition of albumin in native Meju appeared to be 17 kinds. Glutamic acid content (87.98-317.10) were the highest, followed by aspartic acid and glycine. The proleolytic enzyme activity increased when the native Meju was fermented and marked the maximum value at 4 week.

This study has been carried out to estimate aboveground biomass and net primary production in a 22-year-old Betula platyphylla and 24-year-old juglans mandshurica plantations. Nine sample trees were cut in each plantation. Estimations for aboveground biomass and net primary production were made by the equation model $Wt=aD^b$ where Wt is ovendry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total aboveground biomass was 79.33t/ha in Betula platyphylla plantation and 67.47t/ha in Juglans mandshurica plantation. The proportion of each tree component to total aboveground biomass was high in order of bolewood, branches, bolebark, and leaves in the two plantations. Aboveground total net primary production was estimated at 9,92t/ha in Betula platyphylla plantation and 11.79t/ha in Juglans mandshurica plantation. There was greater net primary production in Juglans mandshurica plantation than in Betula platyphylla plantation because of greater bolewood, bolebark, current twig, and branch net primary productions in Juglans mandshurica plantation than in Betula platyphylla plantation.

Recently, lots of anti-phishing schemes have been developed. Several products identify phishing sites and show the results on the address bar of the internet browser. However, they determine only by domain names or IP addresses. Although this kind of method is effective against recent DNS Pharming attacks, there is still a possibility that hidden attacks which modifies HTML codes could incapacitate those anti-phishing programs. In this paper, the cognitive approach which compares images to decide phishing or Pharming is presented by using system tray and balloon tips that are hard to fake with pop-ups or flash in order for users to compare pictures from connecting sites and system tray. It differs from an old method that a program analyzes IP or domains to judge if it is phishing or Pharming. Therefore, proposed method effective cognitive approach against phishing and Pharming attacks.

Gait is defined as a manner or characteristics of walking. Recently, the study on extracting features of the gait to identify the individual has been progressed actively, within the computer vision community. Even if the camera is fixed, gait features extracted from images are varied according to the direction of walking. In this paper, we propose the method which compensates for the drawback of the gait recognition which is dependant on the direction. First, we search a direction of walking and estimate the planar homography with simple operations. Through synthesizing canonical viewed images by using the estimated homography, viewpoint variation by the direction of walking is compensated. In this paper, we segment gait silhouette into sub-regions and use averaged feature and its variation of each region to recognition experiment. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust for directional variation of the gait.

In this study, Cordyceps militaris was grown in a liquid medium containing colloidal chitin. A chitinase was purified from the supernatant or cultured medium by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. Optimum temperature and pH of this enzyme were $35^{\circ}C$ and 5.5, respectively. The molecular weight of the chitinase was estimated to be 48.5 kDa by SDS-PAGE and its Km value was 0.57 mM. The activity of this enzyme was inhibited by $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;CO_{3}^{2-},\;SO_4^{2-},\;CN^-,\;ion,\;and\;OCN^-$ maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride or N-bromo succinimide, especially strongly inhibited by sodium cyanate for 84.0 percentage. But its activity wag slightly stimulated by $Mg^{2+}\;and\;K^+$ ion, respectively. The products formed during hydrolysis of the hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose with this enzyme were N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N,N',N'-triacetylchitotriose. These results imply that this purified enzyme may be an endo-chitinase.

In most of hearing aids, amplification algorithms are used to compensate hearing loss, noise and feedback reduction algorithms are used and to increase the perception of speeches contrast enhancement algorithms are used. However, acoustic masking effect is occurred between formants if contrast is enhanced excessively. To confirm the masking effect in speeches, the experiment are composed of 6 tests; test pure tone test, speech reception test, word recognition test, pure tone masking test, formant pure tone masking test and speech masking test, and for objective evaluation, LLR is introduced. As a result of normal hearing subjects and hearing impaired subjects, more making is occurred in hearing impaired subjects than normal hearing subjects when using pure tone, and in the speech masking test, speech reception is also lower in hearing impaired subjects than in normal hearing subjects. This means that acoustic masking effect rather than distortion influences speech perception. So it is required to check the characteristics of masking effect before wearing a hearing aid and to apply this characteristics to fitting curve.
