Currently, contents generated by SNS services are increasing exponentially, as the number of SNS users increase. The SNS is commonly used to post personal status and individual interests. Also, the SNS is applied in socialization, entertainment, product marketing, news sharing, and single person journalism. As SNS services became available on smart phones, the users of SNS services can generate and spread the social issues and controversies faster than the traditional media. The existing indexing methods for web contents have limitation in terms of real-time indexing for SNS contents, as they usually focus on diversity and accuracy of indexing. To overcome this problem, there are real-time indexing techniques based on RDBMSs. However, these techniques suffer from complex indexing procedures and reduced indexing targets. In this regard, we introduce the TK-Indexing method to improve the previous indexing techniques. Our method indexes the generation time of SNS contents and keywords by way of NoSQL to indexing SNS contents in real-time.

This paper presents an adaptive retinex algorithm using skewness for contrast enhancement of color images. In order to estimate the degree of low contrast of an image, skewness of luminance of an observed image is used to define a parameter, and a non-linear function is proposed to compensate the reflectance using the parameter and estimated reflectance. In addition, determination of gain and offset of the non-linear function is addressed using statistics of the estimated reflectance. The relation between an observed luminance and the compensated luminance is used to compensate color components with the reduction of computational cost. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has the capability to effectively improve the contrast without color distortion.

Kernel-based mean-shift object tracking has gained more interests nowadays, with the aid of its feasibility of reliable real-time implementation of object tracking. This algorithm calculates the best mean-shift vector based on the color histogram similarity between target model and target candidate models, where the color histograms are usually produced after uniform color-space quantization for the implementation of real-time tracker. However, when the image of target model has a reduced contrast, such uniform quantization produces the histogram model having large values only for a few histogram bins, resulting in a reduced accuracy of similarity comparison. To solve this problem, a non-uniform quantization algorithm has been proposed, but it is hard to apply to real-time tracking applications due to its high complexity. Therefore, this paper proposes a fast non-uniform color-space quantization method using the histogram equalization, providing an adjusted histogram distribution such that the bins of target model histogram have as many meaningful values as possible. Using the proposed method, the number of bins involved in similarity comparison has been increased, resulting in an enhanced accuracy of the proposed mean-shift tracker. Simulations with various test videos demonstrate the proposed algorithm provides similar or better tracking results to the previous non-uniform quantization scheme with significantly reduced computation complexity.

This study conducted a 4-week clinical trial on 30 males suffering from seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss symptoms to examine the effects of rooibos extract on the seborrheic dermatitis improvement of 30-50 year old middle aged males. The comparison group used shampoo with no rooibos extract while experiment group 1 used shampoo including rooibos extracts, and experiment group 2 used shampoo and scalp enhancer including the rooibos extracts. The results showed that there were no meaningful changes on the scalps of the comparison group while experiment group 2, which used both shampoo and scalp enhancer including rooibos, showed better improvement on seborrheic dermatitis than experiment group 1 which only used shampoo including rooibos. These results imply that shampoo and scalp enhancer including rooibos extracts effectively improve the oil-moisture balance on seborrheic dermatitis and effectively deals with scalp itchiness redness and the color tone of the scalp, suggesting its use in scalp cosmetics that include antioxidation activation elements, which are effective in improving seborrheic dermatitis.

This study has analyzed the uncontrolled index terms in the theological journal, which were assigned by the authors and the LCSH subject headings in their form and meaning, compared to the standards of index terms and proposed much more sophisticated indexing system. In the uncontrolled index terms, noun phrases and compound terms are analyzed, this study found that indexers have to have theological knowledge and indexing techniques in order to assign more precise index terms. In the LCSH, unnecessary index terms and parenthetical qualifiers were analyzed. As a result of it, this study identified that the problems of inconsistency and errors raised from the basic index structure of LCSH.

Declustering and parallel index structures are important research areas to improve a performance of databases. Previous researches proposed several distribution schemes for parallel R-trees, however there is no search schemes to be suitable for the index. In this paper, we propose schemes to improve the performance of range queries for distribute parallel indexes. The proposed schemes use the features that a parallel disk can read multiple nodes from various disks. The proposed schemes are verified using various implementations and performance evaluations. We propose new schemes which can read multiple nodes from multiple disks in contrast that to the previous schemes which can read a node from disk. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed schemes give us the performance improvement by 40% from the previous researches.

현재 널리 사용되는 hand-held형 단말기들은 영상을 표현할 때 제한된 수의 칼라만으로 표현할 수 있다. 따라서 자연색 칼라 팔레트를 이용하여 단말기에 나타낼 때 최적의 칼라 팔레트를 구현하는 것과 원영상의 각각의 칼라로부터 팔레트 칼라로 최적으로 정합 시키는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 칼라 팔레트를 설계하는 히스토그램 기반 영상 의존적 스칼라 양자화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 칼라 우선순위 결정 부분과 양자화 부분으로 구성되며 양자화 후 ANC(Adaptive Neighborhood-Clustering) 알고리즘을 적용하여 성능을 개선한다. 이 방법은 자연색 칼라 영상을 적은 비트로 표현했음에도 출력 영상이 인간의 눈에 적합하다.
