This experiment was carried out to detect the cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) and the odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) in the seed-derived plantlets of Phalaenopsis imported from Taiwan by one-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Simple and rapid crude plant extracts for RT-PCR were prepared. The reverse transcription step was performed at $42^{\circ}C$ for 45 min and the following thermal cycling scheme was used for 36 reaction cycles: template predenaturation at $96^{\circ}C$ for 2 min, template denaturation at $96^{\circ}C$ for 30 s, primer annealing at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 s, and DNA synthesis at $72^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. Of the 40 seed-derived plantlets of Phalaenopsis imported from Taiwan, all of them were infected with CymMV, but ORSV was not detected.

Modeling for outliers in time series was carried out using the MSL and extreme high, low tide levels (EHL, HLL) data set in the Busan and Mokpo stations. The time-series model is seasonal ARIMA model including the components of the AO (additive outliers) and LS (level shift). The optimal model was selected based on the AIC value and the model parameters were estimated using the 'tso' function (in 'tsoutliers' package of R). The main results by the model application, i.e.. outliers and level shift detections, are as follows. (1) The two AO are detected in the Busan monthly EHL data and the AO magnitudes were estimated to 65.5 cm (by typhoon MAEMI) and 29.5 cm (by typhoon SANBA), respectively. (2) The one level shift in 1983 is detected in Mokpo monthly MSL data, and the LS magnitude was estimated to 21.2 cm by the Youngsan River tidal estuary barrier construction. On the other hand, the RMS errors are computed about 1.95 cm (MSL), 5.11 cm (EHL), and 6.50 cm (ELL) in Busan station, and about 2.10 cm (MSL), 11.80 cm (EHL), and 9.14 cm (ELL) in Mokpo station, respectively.

This study introduces integrated approach on detection of a leakage in a sea wall based on remote sensing, electric resistivity survey, electromagnetic survey, and borehole survey for the Seosan A-Region sea wall. The satellite temperature distribution from Landsat ETM+ data identifies water leakage distribution and period by analyzing temperature mixing patterns between sea water and fresh water. Electric resistivity survey provides both horizontal and vertical anomaly distributions over the sea wall showing below average electric resistivity. Electromagnetic survey(electrical conductivity survey) reveals the potential possible leakage areas with minimal background impact by comparing electrical conductivity values between high and low tides. Borehole image processing system confirmed the locations of anomalies identified from the other survey methods and distributions of vertical fracture zones. The integrated approach identified 41.7% of the sea wall being the most probable area vulnerable to water leakage and effectively approximated both horizontal and vertical distribution of water leakage. The integrated analysis of remote sensing, electric resistivity survey, electromagnetic survey and borehole survey is considered to be an optimal method in identifying water leakage distribution, period, and extent of fractures knowledged from the boreholes.

This study presents a method validation for extraction and quantitative analysis of levulinic acid in soy sacues using high performance liquid chromatograph-photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA). The levulinic acid in samples were extracted with distilled water, and then purified with C18 Sep-Pak cartridge. The calibration curves showed good linearity (R > 0.999) in a relatively wide concentration range ($2.5-400{\mu}g/mL$). Mean recoveries and relative standard deviation (RSD) of levulinic acid spiked in soy sauce samples at different spiking levels ($2.5-400{\mu}g/mL$; 6 point). Recoveries were 87.58-97.26 % with RSD less than 15 %, and limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.64 and $1.64{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. According to monitoring result with the established method, levulinic acid was found in 43 of 59 domestic commercial soy sauces, soy sauce based sauces and seasoned meats. The contamination levels were 0.44-1.23 mg/mL for soy sauces, 0.03-0.83 mg/mL for soy sauce based sauces and 8.43-38.94 mg/mL for seasoned meats. The results indicated to be rapidly and accurately qualifying levulinic acid and can be used as a suitable quality control method for soy sauce and soy sauce related commodities.

In this paper, we propose a new online content editing system to edit the broadcasting and personal contents. The proposed editing system consists of the content management server and the content editor, in which the content management server is used for storing the contents, while the content editor is used for editing the contents via the user interface. Unlike the existing content editing methods which edit the downloaded contents, the proposed editing system edits the contents stored in the content management server while the content editor plays them by using the streaming technology. However, it is not effective to edit the whole segments of contents while playing them by using the streaming technology. To resolve the problem, the proposed editing system performs the scene detection of the contents, and the detected scene information is used for playing and editing of contents. After completing the content editing, the edited information is uploaded to the content management server as a metadata format. In the proposed editing system, both scene and edited information are represented only as the metadata format, and the physical content segmentation according to the scene and edited information is not performed. The implementation results show that the proposed editing system provides similar performances with the existing content editing methods which use the content download and editing methods.

High-speed 3D vision systems are essential for autonomous robot or vehicle control applications. In our study, a stereo vision process has been developed. It consists of three steps : extraction of edges in right and left images, matching corresponding edges and calculation of the 3D map. This process is implemented in a VME 150/40 Imaging Technology vision system. It is a modular system composed by a display, an acquisition, a four Mbytes image frame memory, and three computational cards. Programmable accelerator computational modules are running at 40 MHz and are based on TMS320C31 DSP with a $64{\times}32$ bit instruction cache and two $1024{\times}32$ bit internal RAMs. Each is equipped with 512 Kbytes static RAM, 4 Mbytes image memory, 1 Mbytes flash EEPROM and a serial port. Data transfers and communications between modules are provided by three 8 bit global video bus, and three local configurable pipeline 8 bit video bus. The VME bus is dedicated to system management. Tasks between DSPs are distributed as follows: two DSPs are used to edges detection, one for the right image and the other for the left one. The last processor computes the matching process and the 3D calculation. With $512{\times}512$ pixels images, this sensor generates dense 3D maps at a rate of about 1 Hz depending of the scene complexity. Results can surely be improved by using a special suited multiprocessors cards.

The residue depletion of streptomycin was investigated in the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli), and red sea bream (Pagrus major) after consecutive three days treatment with dipping water at a dose of 20 g/ton water. Fishes were sampled for muscle on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th day after treatment. Streptomycin concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The recovery rates of streptomycin in muscle samples ranged from 87.2 to 102.3% and from 80.4 to 94.1% for the concentration of 0.05 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. Streptomycin concentrations detected on the 1st day after treatment were 0.066, 0.058, and 0.073 mg/kg in muscles of olive flounder, rockfish, and red sea bream, respectively. At day 2, residue concentrations of all samples were believed to decrease to lower than 0.05 mg/kg, the detection limit. From results of the present study, a withdrawal period of streptomycin is proposed on 3 days after consecutive three days treatment with dipping administration at a dose of 20 g/ton water to avoid the presence of excessive residues of the edible muscles of olive flounder, rockfish, and red sea bream. The present study showed that residue concentrations of streptomycin decreased to below 0.05 mg/kg after treatment 2nd day.

This study optimized the bone-softening and fishy odor-reducing process for mackerel Scomber japonicus products using response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM showed that the optimum concentrations of doenjang and citric acid for reducing the fishy odor in bone-softened mackerel were 11.8% and 0.04%, respectively, and the optimum immersion time was 52.2 min. The estimated overall acceptance, salinity, and acidity of the products under these optimum conditions were 7.7 points, 1.1%, and 202.6 mg/100 g, respectively, which were similar to the actual measured values of $7.6{\pm}1.2$ points, $1.0{\pm}0.1%$ and $203.2{\pm}3.8mg/100g$. Moreover, the heating temperature and time for bone-softening based on RSM were $107.3^{\circ}C$ and 4.4 h, respectively. The estimated hardness and proportion of skin removed from the product under the optimal conditions were $161.5g/cm^2$ and 0.09%, respectively, which were also similar to the actual measured values of $171.1{\pm}12.6g/cm^2$ and $0.10{\pm}0.02%$. The optimum bone-softening and fishy odor-reducing process for mackerel consisted of the following steps: thawing (${\leq}10^{\circ}C$, 8 h), filleting, washing/dewatering, immersing in an 11.8% doenjang -0.04% citric acid solution for 52 min, washing/dewatering, heating ($107.3^{\circ}C$, 4.4 h), freezing, depanning, internal and external packaging, and X-ray detection treatment.
