Boophilus microplus (Canestrini, 1887) female specimens were subjected to scanning electron microscopy for the observation of surface fine structures. Morphological characteristics observed were summarized as follows: 1. The palpi were wider than long, and compressed, ridged dorsally and laterally. There were usually four pairs of ventro-internal setae on the articles. 2. The hypostome dentition was usually 4/4 but occasionally 5/5. 3. The basis capituli were hexagonal dorsally and the porose area was distinct with the holes developed well. 4. There were numerous folds resembling finger prints around the female genital pore. 5. A pair of anal lobes with specified setae on them was also rocognized as one of the morphological characteristics.

This study is aimed at suggesting optical communication equipment that can deliver high quality video information in high speed, to efficiently handle the flood and water pollution in the river basin. This system is cheaper than existing equipment, and can monitor optical Internet as well as the condition of equipment. Generally, the communication equipment to prevent flood is installed in an unmanned control box and operated by the flood control office situated at the fiver mouth in a long distance section. Therefore, it is hard to promptly cope with communication interruptions, which occur by the cutting or aging of the optical cable. Under the circumstances, this study suggested an efficient system that can deliver high quality video information in high speed (Optical Transmission Convert System) by using optical fiber. The system also solves problems by making use of automatic protection switching (APS) when an accident happens. Its real-time monitoring function gives notice of the problem-occurring points. The system is expected to be widely used in various areas such as intelligent traffic systems.

In this paper, we propose a texture classification using wavelet-domain BDIP (block difference of inverse probabilities) and BVLC (block variance of local correlation coefficients) features with WPCA (whitened principal component analysis) classifier. In the proposed method, the wavelet transform is first applied to a query image. The BDIP and BVLC operators are next applied to the wavelet subbands. Global moments for each subband of BDIP and BVLC are then computed and fused into a feature vector. In classification, the WPCA classifier, which is usually adopted in the face identification, searches the training feature vector most similar to the query feature vector. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields excellent texture classification with low feature dimension for test texture image DBs.

Few studies have been systematically pursued on a multimedia data mining in despite of the overwhelming amounts of multimedia data by the development of computer capacity, storage technology and Internet. Based on the preliminary image processing and content-based image retrieval technology, this paper presents the methods for discovering association rules from recurrent items with spatial relationships in huge data repositories. Furthermore, multimedia mining algorithm is proposed to find implicit association rules among objects of which content-based descriptors such as color, texture, shape and etc. are recurrent and of which descriptors have spatial relationships. The algorithm with recurrent items in images shows high efficiency to find set of frequent items as compared to the Apriori algorithm. The multimedia association-rules algorithm is specially effective when the collection of images is homogeneous and it can be applied to many multimedia-related application fields.

One of the most important vegetables consumed in Korea, chili peppers (Capsicum annuum) are widely cultivated around the world. Chili peppers have been severely damaged by anthracnose during their growth, so it is important to study prevention and resistance varieties. K1 anthracnose was inoculated against four cultivar of chili peppers that are resistant to anthracnose and one cultivar that is sensitive. The area of the disease that appeared over time was photographed and quantified through the program was analyzed. Through the ratio of the area of chili pepper fruit and the area of the bottle, the sensitive variety An-S showed weak reactions to anthracnose with about 40%, the resistant variety An-12R (23%), An-Tan (21%), and An-9R (19%), and PBC81 showed a strong response to anthracnose with about 11%. These quantitative value can be used as a basis for comparison in conducting resistance studies for new varieties.

최근 국지성 집중호우 및 돌발홍수와 같은 급격한 기상변화로 인한 기상재해의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 기존 지상 기상관측소로부터 얻어지는 직접탐측 자료보다는 기상레이더와 위성영상 등 원격탐측 자료를 사용한 수문분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기상레이더는 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 실시간으로 강수현상 감시가 가능하며 지상우량계로는 파악이 불가능한 미계측 유역을 통과하는 국지적인 호우현상이나 강우장의 이동 및 변화의 파악도 빠른 시간에 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 기상레이더 공간적 분포와 지상관측소(AWS 및 ASOS) 자료를 연계한 통계적 레이더 강수량 추정(Quantitative Precipitation Estimation, QPE)과 레이더 강수장을 직접 추적하는 강수장 예측(Quantitative Precipitation Forecast, QPF)를 연계한 해석방안을 수립하였으며, 모형 적용과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 강우장의 공간적인 이동을 고려하기 위해 강우장으로 부터 이류(advection)패턴을 추출하여 각 강우세포가 가지는 이동방향 및 이동속도를 고려한 강우장 추적기법을 통하여 2시간의 선행시간을 가지는 강우장을 예측하고자 한다. 둘째, 과거 기상레이더 이미지와 지상관측소의 강수 특성을 파악한 후 앞서 예측된 레이더강우장의 형태와 가장 유사한 과거 레이더강우장과 동일 시간대에 지상관측소 강수시계열을 시나리오 형태로 구축한다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 기상레이더 영상 이미지 상관분석 기법을 활용한 초단기강우예측은 집중호우시 홍수 예 경보를 위한 수문모형의 입력자료로 활용이 가능하다. 즉, 수문모형과 연계한 고해상도 단기홍수 예측기술 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 실시간 재해 예 경보에 활용성을 평가하고자 한다.

Purpose: We evaluated whether it was necessary to perform whole body acquisition of $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT including whole skull and lower extremity (LE) distal to mid-thigh (MT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients underwent 45 whole body $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT scans including skull and LE distal to MT. PET scans were divided by 2 subgroups according to the presence of abnormal focal $^{18}F$-FDG uptake in skull or LE distal to MT. Clinical characteristics including age, sex, and stages were compared between the 2 subgroups. Results: Of total 45 whole body PET/CT scans, focally increased abnormal FDG uptake in the skull or LE distal to MT suggesting myeloma involvement was found in 22 scans (48.9%) of 14 patients (46.7%). Skull lesions were more frequently observed than LE lesions distal to MT on PET (86.4% vs. 40.9%, p<0.005). There were no significant differences in age, sex, initial Durie/Salmon stage, and tumor burden at the time of PET scan suggested by serum hemoglobin level, serum calcium level, serum and urine paraprotein level, and serum creatinine level between the two subgroups. The presence of the skull or LE distal MT lesions on PET did not affect on the Durie/Salmon plus stage except only 1 case (1/22, 4.5%, p>0.05). Conclusion: Abnormal lesions in the skull or LE distal to MT on $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT did not affect significantly on the tumor burden and Durie/Salmon plus stage of MM. Therefore, torso PET acquisition including head may be sufficient for evaluating patients with MM.

Purpose: Reduction of respiratory motion artifacts in PET images was studied using respiratory-gated PET (RGPET) with moving phantom. Especially a method of generating simulated helical CT images from 4D-CT datasets was developed and applied to a respiratory specific RGPET images for more accurate attenuation correction. Materials and Methods: Using a motion phantom with periodicity of 6 seconds and linear motion amplitude of 26 mm, PET/CT (Discovery ST: GEMS) scans with and without respiratory gating were obtained for one syringe and two vials with each volume of 3, 10, and 30 ml respectively. RPM (Real-Time Position Management, Varian) was used for tracking motion during PET/CT scanning. Ten datasets of RGPET and 4D-CT corresponding to every 10% phase intervals were acquired. from the positions, sizes, and uptake values of each subject on the resultant phase specific PET and CT datasets, the correlations between motion artifacts in PET and CT images and the size of motion relative to the size of subject were analyzed. Results: The center positions of three vials in RGPET and 4D-CT agree well with the actual position within the estimated error. However, volumes of subjects in non-gated PET images increase proportional to relative motion size and were overestimated as much as 250% when the motion amplitude was increased two times larger than the size of the subject. On the contrary, the corresponding maximal uptake value was reduced to about 50%. Conclusion: RGPET is demonstrated to remove respiratory motion artifacts in PET imaging, and moreover, more precise image fusion and more accurate attenuation correction is possible by combining with 4D-CT.
