Tomography is a method to reconstruct three-dimensional structure of an optically thin object. We can obtain the three-dimensional information by combining a number of projected images at different angles. Solar rotational tomography (SRT) is the tomographic method to estimate the coronal structures using the solar rotation. There are a few practical difficulties in solar coronal observation. One of the most crucial difficulty is handling the blocking area by the occulter or the Sun itself. So we have to use the iterative reconstruction for the SRT which can resolve that problem by using the forward modeling. In this study, we propose an alternative method to reconstruct the solar coronal structure: the filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm. The FBP algorithm is based on the simple analytic solution. Thus it is easy to understand, and the computing cost is much cheaper than that of the iterative reconstruction. Recently we found a solution for the FBP algorithm to the problem of the blocking area in the solar EUV observations. We introduce how to apply the FBP algorithm to the SRT, and show the initial results of the performance test.

The penetration of malicious code and the function of security blocking are performed on the same course of traffic pathway. The security domain is the concept to distinguish the domain from the group handling with the traffic on the structure of network which is performed with the function of penetration and security. The security domain could be different from the criterion of its realm and function, which requires the development and the application of security mechanism for every domain. For the establishment of security domain it is needed to show what criterion of net work should be set up. This study is to research the criterion for topology factor, security domain. structure map selection, and blocking location and disinfection net. It is shown to increase the effective rate blocking the virus with the proposed method in this paper rather than the traditional network architecture. The purpose of this paper is to suggest the necessity of development of security mechanism and the distinguished blocking function according to the level of security domain.

This paper proposes method to improve the image quality degradation that show when reconstructing compressed images at low bit rate by using wavelet transform. The image quality distortion is blocking artifacts and noise in DCT's compression but blocking artifacts of wavelet transform does not appear and ringing artifacts was appeared near the edge. This proposed technique is classified to part which is ringing artifacts of the edge vicinity appears which is not, apply adaptive filter to each region improved image. A edge region which is harsh to the eye is applied by Canny mask and finding strong edge region, search the neighborhood classify the flat region and the texture region, and apply to each region suitable filter, As experiment result, PSNR value of method that is proposed in that low bit rate compression image that ringing artifact appears became low about 0.05db, but 0.023db degree rose strong edge region and nat region's image. Also, showed picture quality improved more than ringing artifacts in nat region when see from subjective viewpoint of human.

In this paper, we proposed a b1ocking artifact reduction algorithm using similarity and linear combination between blocks. In the proposed method, all of the blocks are classified into low frequency block and high frequency block according to the their DCT coefficients. And we defined range block which shows blocking artifacts, as block centered to block boundary and defied domain block as similar block with range block within search range. In the search procedure, we used sub-block's property of range block and similarity for more accurate searching. Finally blocking artifact reduction algorithm is performed using linear combination between searched domain block and blocky range block. The performance of the proposed method is investigated by computer simulation in comparison with the traditional methods. In the experimental results, Ire confirmed the better performance in the subjective by 0.04∼0.4 dB and objective image quality.

Multi-constraint QoS routing has been seen as crucial network property in the next generation optical Internet based on DWDM Networks. This paper proposes a new QoS routing algorithm based on flooding method, called bounded flooding routing (BFR) algorithm which can meet multi-constraint QoS requirements. Primarily, the BFR algorithm tries to reduce network overhead by accomplishing bounded-flooding to meet QoS requirements, and improve blocking probability and wavelength utilization. Also, as one effort to improve routing performance, we introduce a new concept, ripple count, which does not need any link-state information and computational process. For extensive analysis and simulation study, as a critical concern, in DWDM-based networks we deploy limited wavelength conversion capability within DWDM nodes. And the simulation results demonstrate that the BFR algorithm is superior to other predominant routing algorithms (both original flooding method and source-directed methods) in terms of blocking probability, wavelength channels required and overhead.

This paper presents adaptive-MMOSPRED method for prediction of resource demands requested by multimedia calls, and shows the performance of the call admission control based on proposed resource prediction method in multimedia wireless networks. The proposed method determines (I-CDP) random variables of the standard normal distribution by using LMS algorithm that minimize errors of prediction in resource demands, while parameters in an existing method are constant all through the prediction time. Our simulation results show that prediction error in adaptive-MMOSPRED method is much smaller than in fixed-MMOSPRED method. Also we can see via simulation the CAC performance based on the proposed method improves the new call blocking performance compared with the existing method under the desired handoff dropping probability.

In this paper, the parallel algorithm using MPI(Message-Passing Interface) library is introduced in order to improve numerical efficiency for the staggered method for nearly incompressible and impermeable porous media which was introduced by Park and Tak(2010). The porous media theory and the staggered method are also briefly introduced in this paper. Moreover, we account for MPI library for blocking, non-blocking, and collective communication, and propose combined the staggered method with the blocking and nonblocking MPI library. And then, we present how to allocate CPUs on the staggered method and the MPI library, which is related with the numerical efficiency in order to solve unknown variables on nearly incompressible and impermeable porous media. Finally, the results comparing serial solution with parallel solution are verified by 2 dimensional saturated porous model according to the number of FEM meshes.

Image magnification is among the basic image processing operations. The most commonly used technique for image magnification are based on interpolation method(such as nearest neighbor, bilinear and cubic interpolation). However, the magnified images produced by the techniques that often appear a variety of undesirable image artifacts such as 'blocking' and 'blurring' or too takes the processing time into the several processing for image magnification. In this paper, we propose image magnification method which uses input image's sub-band information such as edge information to enhance the image magnification method. We use the whole image and not use the one's neighborhood pixels to detect the edge information of the image that isn't occurred the blocking phenomenon. And then we emphasized edge information to remove the blurring phenomenon which incited of edge information. Our method, which improves the performance of the traditional image magnification methods in the processing time, is presented. Experiment results show that the proposed method solves the drawbacks of the image magnification such as blocking and blurring phenomenon, and has a higher PSNR and Correlation than the traditional methods.

In recent years, the rapid increases in video distribution and viewing over the Internet have increased the risk of personal information exposure. In this paper, a method is proposed to robustly identify areas in images where a person's privacy is compromised and simultaneously blocking the object area by blurring it while rapidly tracking it using a prediction algorithm. With this method, the target object area is accurately identified using artificial neural network-based learning. The detected object area is then tracked using a location prediction algorithm and is continuously blocked by blurring it. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively blocks private areas in images by blurring them, while at the same time tracking the target objects about 2.5% more accurately than another existing method. The proposed blocking method is expected to be useful in many applications, such as protection of personal information, video security, object tracking, etc.

Background: Classical swine fever (CSF) is a severe infectious disease of pigs that causes significant economic losses to the swine industry. Objectives: This study developed a solid-phase blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (spbELISA) method for the specific detection of antibodies against the CSF virus (CSFV) in porcine serum samples. Methods: A spbELISA method was developed based on the recombinant E2 expressed in Escherichia coli. The specificity of this established spbELISA method was evaluated using reference serum samples positive for antibodies against other common infectious diseases. The stability and sensitivity were evaluated using an accelerated thermostability test. Results: The spbELISA successfully detected the antibody levels in swine vaccinated with the C-strain of CSFV. In addition, the detection ability of spbELISA for CSFV antibodies was compared with that of other commercial ELISA kits and validated using an indirect immunofluorescence assay. The results suggested that the spbELISA provides an alternative, stable, and rapid serological detection method suitable for the large-scale screening of CSFV serum antibodies. Conclusions: The spbELISA has practical applications in assessing the vaccination status of large pig herds.
