We present a sequential factorization method using singular value decomposition (SVD) for recovering both the three-dimensional shape of an object and the motion of camera from a sequence of images. We employ paraperpective projection [6] for camera model to handle significant translational motion toward the camera or across the image. The proposed mthod not only quickly gives robust and accurate results, but also provides results at each frame becauseit is a sequential method. These properties make our method practically applicable to real time applications. Considerable research has been devoted to the problem of recovering motion and shape of object from image [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Among many different approaches, we adopt a factorization method using SVD because of its robustness and computational efficiency. The factorization method based on batch-type computation, originally proposed by Tomasi and Kanade [1] proposed the feature trajectory information using singular value decomposition (SVD). Morita and Kanade [10] have extenened [1] to asequential type solution. However, Both methods used an orthographic projection and they cannot be applied to image sequences containing significant translational motion toward the camera or across the image. Poleman and Kanade [11] have developed a batch-type factorization method using paraperspective camera model is a sueful technique, the method cannot be employed for real-time applications because it is based on batch-type computation. This work presents a sequential factorization methodusing SVD for paraperspective projection. Initial experimental results show that the performance of our method is almost equivalent to that of [11] although it is sequential.

A thermostable $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidases ($\alpha$-L-AFase) is an industrially important enzyme for recovery of L-arabinose from hemicellulose. The recombinant $\alpha$-L-AFase from Thermotoga maritima was expressed in Escherichia coli by using a constitutive pHCE or an inducible pRSET vectors. In batch fermentation, the constitutive expression system resulted in slightly faster growth rate (0.78 vs. 0.74/hr) but lower enzyme activity (2,553 vs. 3,723 units/L) than those of the induction system. When fed-batch fermentation was performed, biomass and enzyme activity reached the highest levels of 36 g/L and 9,152 units/L, respectively. The fed batch cultures performed superior results than batch culture in terms of biomass yield (4.62-5.42 folds) and enzyme synthesis (3.39-4.00 folds). In addition, the fed-batch induction strategy at high cell density resulted in the best productivity in cell growth as well as enzyme activity rather than the induction method at low cell density or the constitutive expression.

The optimal temperature, pH and aeration rate for spore production by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD in 500 ml shake flask and 5-1 jar fermenter were found to be $32^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and 1.0 vvm. respectively. When batch culture processes was performed under optimized culture conditions. viable cells were $3.3{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml and spore cells were $3.3{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml. Fed-batch culture processes were also examined with regard to higer maximum viable cell and spore production. The highe viable cells and spores were obtained in 5-1 jar fermenter at 72 h cultivation time by strategy in an intermediate feeding mode with 60% glucose solution 150 ml and 5% soybean flour solution 150 ml fed to the fermenter twice, and the productivity of spore cells was significantly increased. Finally. volumetric productivity of spore cells on fed-batch culture indicated $9.9{\times}10^8$ CFU/ml/h, which was approximately 2 times higher than batch culture. Thus, fed-batch culture show a promise as an industrial production method.

In developing countries, biogas energy production is seen as a technology that can provide clean energy in poor regions and reduce pollution caused by animal manure. Laboratories in these countries have little access to advanced gas measuring equipment, which may limit research aimed at improving local adapted biogas production. They may also be unable to produce valid estimates of an international standard that can be used for articles published in international peer-reviewed science journals. This study tested and validated methods for measuring total biogas and methane ($CH_4$) production using batch fermentation and for characterizing the biomass. The biochemical methane potential (BMP) ($CH_4$ NL $kg^{-1}$ VS) of pig manure, cow manure and cellulose determined with the Moller and VDI methods was not significantly different in this test (p>0.05). The biodegradability using a ratio of BMP and theoretical BMP (TBMP) was slightly higher using the Hansen method, but differences were not significant. Degradation rate assessed by methane formation rate showed wide variation within the batch method tested. The first-order kinetics constant k for the cumulative methane production curve was highest when two animal manures were fermented using the VDI 4630 method, indicating that this method was able to reach steady conditions in a shorter time, reducing fermentation duration. In precision tests, the repeatability of the relative standard deviation (RSDr) for all batch methods was very low (4.8 to 8.1%), while the reproducibility of the relative standard deviation (RSDR) varied widely, from 7.3 to 19.8%. In determination of biomethane concentration, the values obtained using the liquid replacement method (LRM) were comparable to those obtained using gas chromatography (GC). This indicates that the LRM method could be used to determine biomethane concentration in biogas in laboratories with limited access to GC.

B+-Tree is the most popular indexing method in DBMS to manage large size data in more efficiency. However the existing B+-Tree has shortcomings in there is overhead on DISK/IO when the first time of constructing DB or of making Index, and it lessens the concurrency if there are frequent delete operations so that the index structure also should be changed frequently. To solve these problems almost DBMS is using batch construction method and lazy deletion method. But to apply B+-Tree, which is using batch construction method and lazy deletion method, into DBMS the technique for controlling and recovering concurrency is necessary, but its researching is still unsatisfactory so that there is a problem on applying it into actual systems. On this paper I suggest the technique for controlling and recovering concurrency how to implement the batch construction method and the lazy deletion method in actual DBMS. Through the suggested technique there is no cascade rollback by using Pending list, it enhances the concurrency by enabling insertion and deletion for base table on every reconstruction, and it shortens transaction response time for user by using system queue which makes the batch constructing operation is processed not in user's transaction level but in system transaction level.

Several culture systems including batch, two-stage CSTR, semi-fed batch, and two-stage cyclic fed-batch were investigated for the efficient production of the Fab fraction of PDC-E2 specific human monoclonal antibody using high cell density recombinant E. coli. A two-phase batch system and a two-stage continuous system were examined to overcome plasmid instability problems, by separating the growth and the production stages. The cell density and productivity of the two-stage continuous culture was better than that of the two-phase batch fermentation. In the two-stage continuous culture system with DO-stat, the cell growth and the productivity were superior to those of the system without the DO control. Also, almost total plasmid stability was maintained in the two-stage continuous culture system. Modified M9 medium was selected as an optimum feeding medium for the fed-batch process, and the optimum C/N ratio determined to be 2:3. The optimum feeding rate was $0.6g/\ell/hr$ for a constant feeding strategy in semi-fed batch system. When the feeding medium was fed by pulsing, it was observed that more frequent pulsing resulted in improved cell growth. The linear feeding method was the most efficient of the various feeding methods tested. Finally, high cell density culture using a two-stage cyclic fed batch system with pH-stat was tried because the linear feeding method showed limitations in terms of obtaining high cell densities, and a cell density of $54 g/\ell$ was achieved. It was concluded that the two-stage cyclic fed batch system was the most efficient system for high cell density culture of the systems tested. However, productivity improvements were lower than expected due to the extremely high accumulations of acetate, although the low levels of residual glucose were maintained.

The purpose of this work is to build a fuzzy model of a batch culture for a process control. The process is highly nonlinear system with large delay. This paper presents two methods of modeling the process behavior. One is a method of recognizing them by fuzzy rules that are contracted by the pattern analysis in consideration of skilled operators' way. The other is a method of predicting them by approximate linear models and fuzzy rules by statistic analysis.

In this study, we propose a shared storage system which is more efficient policy than MIS(Mixed Intermediate Storage) policy for relatively rare storage system and can be called CIS(Common Intermediate Storage) policy. Using this strategy, we develop a new completion time algorithm and apply it to two kinds of optimal or near optimal scheduling method; combinatorial search and simulated annealing method. We also extend this strategy to other storage policy, for example MIS policy, with PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) logic and on/off action of electronic valves. It thus can be accepted as a basic form of FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) for operating various storage policies. Finally we suggest the interlocking block to compansate for the shortcoming of CIS policy, i.e, complication of operation and safety, resulting in a basic batch process automation mode.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the batch service queueing model M/M(a, b ; ${\mu}_k/1$) under general bulk service rule with mean service rate ${\mu}_k$ for a batch of k units, where $a{\leq}k{\leq}b$. This queueing model consists of the two-dimensional state space so that it is characterized by two-dimensional state Markov process. The steady-state solution and performane measure of this process are derived by using Matrix Geometric method. Meanwhile, a new approach is suggested to calculate the two-dimensional traffic density R which is used to obtain the steady-state solution. In addition, to determine the optimal service initiation threshold a, a decision model of this queueing system is developed evaluating cost of service per batch and cost of waiting per customer. In a job order production system, the decision-making procedure presented in this paper can be applicable to determining when production should be started.
