This paper proposed the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval through the effective feature extraction of the object of significant meaning based on the characteristics of man's visual system. To allow the object region of interest to be primarily detected, the region, being comparatively large size, greatly different from the background color and located in the middle of the image, was judged as the major object with a meaning. To get the original features of the image, the cumulative sum of tile declination difference vector the segment of the object contour had and the signature of the bipartite object were extracted and used in the form of being applied to the rotation of the object and the change of the size after partition of the total length of the object contour of the image into the normalized segment. Starting with this form feature, it was possible to make a retrieval robust to any change in translation, rotation and scaling by combining information on the texture sample, color and eccentricity and measuring the degree of similarity. It responded less sensitively to the phenomenon of distortion of the object feature due to the partial change or damage of the region. Also, the method of imposing a different weight of similarity on the image feature based on the relationship of complexity between measured objects using the fractal dimension by the Boxing-Counting Dimension minimized the wrong retrieval and showed more efficient retrieval rate.

The podands I-VII, acyclic polyethers, expected high extractability for $Ag^+$ against $Pb^{2+}$ were designed and synthesized with high yields. Using podands I-VII as extractants, the %extraction(%Ex) of $Ag^+$ and $Pb^{2+}$ as picrates were determined in water/chloroform systems. The stability constants(log K) for the complexation of $Ag^+$ with podands I-VII were also determined by potentiometry. %Ex($Ag^+$) were proportional to the numbers of substituted sulfur donor atoms. Podand VI(log K : 7.65) having 3 substituted sulfur and podand VII(log K : 9.15) having 4 substituted sulfur, however, exhibited almost 100% of extractability, respectively. In %Ex($Ag^+/Pb^{2+}$, oxygen-sulfur mixed donor podands(IV-VII) showed the higher values. Otherwise, the values of log K and %Ex($Ag^+$) largely depended on the variation of donor-site of sulfur. From the results of NMR experiments, it seems that it is due to the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interaction between the aromatic end-groups.

New BV RI photometric observations of the contact binary AH Tau were performed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory during seven nights from September to December, 2001. A total of 144 times of minima observed up to date, including three times of minima obtained from our observation, were analyzed. It is found that the orbital period of AH Tau has varied in a cyclic way superposed on a secular period decrease. The rate of the secular period decrease is calculated to be $1^s$ .04 per century, implying that a mass of about $3.8{\times}10^{-8}M{\odot}/yr$ from the more massive primary flows into the secondary if a conservative mass transfer is assumed. Assuming that the sinusoidal period variation is produced by a light-time effect due to an unseen third body, the resultant semi-amplitude, period, and eccentricity for the deduced light-time orbit are obtained as 35.4 years, 0.014 day and 0.52, respectively. The mass of the third-body is calculated as a tout $0.24M{\odot}$ when the third body is assumed to be coplanar with AH Tau system.

Mass mortalities of the farmed sea squirt, Halocynthia roretzi, occurred in August, 2006 along the Gyeongbuk coasts of the East Sea without any pathological symptom. Suspecting the No. 10 typhoon, Wukong, which had passed over the relevant locations in the middle of August, 2006 as a culprit of the mortalities, we compared water temperature stratifications of the affected coasts before and after the typhoon. Just prior to the typhoon, cold waters lower than $15^{\circ}C$ were stratified at depths deeper than 10m probably by a persisting upwelling of cold bottom waters. The typhoon enforced water off-coast waters into coasts for 5 days, replacing the cold waters at depths $10{\sim}20m$ which can be justified by Ekman Spiral Effect. The results were an increment of water temperature by $10^{\circ}C$ and more at depths where sea squirts were suspended. The sudden elevation of water temperature might drive the sea squirts under abnormal stress to mass mortality.

All times of minimum light for two eclipsing binaries V343 Aql and CX Aqr were collected and analyzed to study their orbital period variations. It was found that the orbital periods for both stars have varied in a cyclical way superposed on a parabola. A secular period decrease of $-261{\times}10^{-7}$ d/y for V343 Aql was calculated while CX Aqr showed a secular period increase of $+2.55{\times}10^{-8}$8 d/y. Possible causes of secular period variations for two systems were discussed. The cyclical period variation was interpreted as light-time effect due to a third body. The resultant period, semiamplitude and eccentricity of the light time orbit were calculated to be 30.3y, 0.0092d and 0.85, respectively, for V343 Aql and 33.0y, 0.0037d and 0.64, respectively, for CX Aqr. The properties of the third bodies suggested in V343 Aql and CX Aqr systems were discussed.

To newly discover the placeness of Xita Koreatown in Shenyang, this study establishes the conceptual structure of urban inclusivity based on the actor-network theory and the main discourse of inclusive cities. It then applies a framework to the relevant space for analysis. We conduct the case study by first identifying a historical timeline by dividing the age from the founding of New China to the present into sprouting and developing stages of Xita Koreatown, extracting major actors out of time, and finally creating a network graph for each of the six periods representing changes in the region. Throughout this process, we not only analyze the aspect of transition in the urban inclusivity of Xita Koreatown but also prospect the feasibility of an inclusive city for the area. The results of this study are as follows. First, the number and type of actors constituting Xita Koreatown have constantly increased significantly since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. The related actor-networks have also continued to expand in all indicators of urban inclusivity. Secondly, the agency of human actors such as Korean-Chinese, locals, and both South and North Koreans, representing the specificity of Xita Koreatown, has continuously improved. Lastly, due to the increase of cultural exchanges and related policy actors, the actor-network in this region has achieved an unprecedented leap forward. In conclusion, the urban inclusivity of Xita Koreatown in Shenyang shows significant growth in quality, with expectations of further improvement.

The physical and chemical characteristics were examined in the southern sea of Korea including the Cheju Strait, and the entrance of the Korea Strait in the period of May 30 to June 8, 1995. The results are as follows. Firstly, the variation ranges of the temperature and salinity at the Cheju Stratit during 24 hours observation were larger in the surface layer than that in the deep layers. Secondly, daily variations of nutrients show that total inorganic nitrogen, phosphate phosphorous, and silicate silicon concentration are higher at night than at day. Thirdly, water temperature and salinity distributions show highest values at the entrance of Korea Strait, which is thought to be influenced directly by Tsushima Warm Current, while they show the lowest values in Cheju Strait. This means that the surface waters in Korea Strait are greatly influenced from the entrance of Korea Strait and bottom waters is greatly influenced from Cheju Strait. Fourthly, nutrients distribution shows highest values in Korea Strait but dissolved oxygen shows lowest values in the area. These seem to be caused by the oxygen consumption used in the inorganization of nutrients to decompose organisms and the liquidation of nutrients.

Various perturbations by the sun, the moon and the earth itself cause a continuous change in nominal position of a geostationary satellite. In order to maintain the satellite within a required window, north-south station keeping for controlling inclination and right ascension of ascending node, and east-west station keeping for controlling eccentricity and longitude are required. In this paper, station keeping maneuver simulation for Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) was performed using COMS Flight Dynamics Software(FDS) and the results were analyzed. COMS performs weekly based east-west/north-south station keeping to maintain satellite within ${\pm}0.05^{\circ}$ at the nominal longitude of $128.2^{\circ}E$. In addition, COMS performs wheel off-loading maneuver twice a day to eliminate attitude error caused by one-solar wing in the south panel of the satellite. In this paper, station keeping maneuver considering wheel off-loading maneuver was performed and the results showed that COMS can be maintained well within ${\pm}0.05^{\circ}$ window using COMS FDS.

New eight times of minimum light of the near-contact binary EG Cep were presented. All times of minimum light for EG Cep, including ours, were collected and analyzed to study it's orbital period variation. It was found that the orbital period have varied in a cyclical way superposed on an upward parabola. A secular period increase of $3.22{\times}10^{-8}d/y$ was calculated. Under the assumption of a conservative mass transfer, it implied that the stellar gaseous material of about $3.18{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}$ /year is transferring from the less massive secondary component to the primary. The cyclical period variation was interpreted as light-time effect due to an unseen third body in the system. The resultant period, semi-amplitude and eccentricity of the light time orbit were calculated to be $38.^y4,\;0.^d0034$ and 0.29, respectively. The mass range of the tertiary proposed in the system is deduced to be quite small as $0.10M_{\odot}{\leq}M_3{\leq}0.21M_{\odot}$ for $i_3{\geq}30^{\circ}$.

In this paper, the Doppler phase error due to the relative velocity between a satellite and the earth station in communications using a low earth orbit mobile satellite is detected. The performance of BPSK system in the presence of Rician fading with Doppler phase error and interference, noise is compared with that of the system disturbed by Doppler phase error and noise only. The expression of error rate performance of BPSK system is derived as the type of complementary error function. The numerical calculation of the induced equation are performed in terms of satellite-height, orbit-eccentricity, the velocity of the earth, Rician fading parameter, signal to interference rateio (SIR), the ratio of carrier frequency and base band bit rate. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this analysis is that Rician fading channel environment with Doppler phase error and interference effect yields severe performance degradation than Do- ppler phase error and noise effect in satellite communication channel. And using the numerical calculation, we give a quantitative insight how much the satellite communication channel parameters degrade the system performance. Furthermore it is shown that an appropriate transmission power control for the performance enhancement is beneficial to the new satellite communication system planning.
