This study was conducted to investigate the effects of composted liquid manure (CLM) on soil properties and turf quality of zoysiagrass. The CLMs were produced at 5 facilities for livestock excretions treatments located in Cheongwon, Gunwi, Iksan, Nonsan, and Yeoju in Korea, respectively. Field experiments were conducted at 5 golf courses and a sod farm located near each facility for livestock excretion treatments. Chemical fertilizer (CF) with N at $12g\;m^{-2}year^{-1}$ and CLMs were applied four times, respectively. The constituents of the different CLMs were variable based on when and where the fertilizer was produced. Soil K content significantly increased when the soil was treated with CLMs. The soil treated with CF showed a higher content of total P than that treated with CLM. CF and CLMs treatments significantly increased the turf color index compared with control. Tiller density and shoot dry weight of fertilized plots were also higher than those of non-fertilized plots. However, there was no significant difference in turf color index and tiller density among plots treated by CLMs or CF. The results of this study demonstrated that CLMs could be a substitute for CF.

Multimedia is a ubiquitous and indispensable part of our daily life and learning such as audio, image, and video. Objective and subjective quality evaluations play an important role in various multimedia applications. Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) is used to indicate the perceptual quality of a distorted image, while its reference image is not considered and used. Blur is one of the common image distortions. In this paper, we propose a novel BIQA index for Gaussian blur distortion based on the fact that images with different blur degree will have different changes through the same blur. We describe this discrimination from three aspects: color, edge, and structure. For color, we adopt color histogram; for edge, we use edge intensity map, and saliency map is used as the weighting function to be consistent with human visual system (HVS); for structure, we use structure tensor and structural similarity (SSIM) index. Numerous experiments based on four benchmark databases show that our proposed index is highly consistent with the subjective quality assessment.

Multi layered thin films with ZnS/$Na_3AlF_6$/ZnS were deposited on glass substrate by thermal evaporator precess and simulated by using EMP(Essential Macleod Program). EMP is a comprehensive software package to design and analyse the optical characteristics of multi-layered thin film. ZnS and $Na_3AlF_6$ were selected as a high refractive index and low refractive index material respectively. Additionally Cu was chosen as mid reflective material. Optical properties including color effect were systematically studied. in terms of different optical thickness of low refractive index material. The optical thickness of $Na_3AlF_6$ was changed as 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and $1.0\lambda$. The film with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and $1.0\lambda$. of optical thickness showed mixed color range between bluish green and red purple, yellowish green and bluish green, purple and mixed color range of green and purple respectively.

Due to optimal advances such as chromatic performance, durability, low power consumption, high efficiency, long-lifetime, and excellent environmental friendliness, white LEDs (WLEDs) are widely used in vehicle front lighting, backlighting, decorative lighting, street lighting, and even general lighting. In this paper, the remote packaging WLEDs (RP-WLEDs) with bi-layer red-emitting $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ and yellow-emitting YAG:Ce phosphor was proposed and investigated. The simulation results based on the MATLAB software and the commercial software Light Tools indicated that the color rendering index (CRI) of bi-layer phosphor RP-WLEDs had a significant increase. The CRI had a considerable increase from 72 to 94. In conclusion, the results showed that bi-layer red-emitting $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ and yellow-emitting YAG:Ce phosphor could be a prospective approach for manufacturing RP-WLEDs with enhanced optical properties.

Color rendering index (CRI) and luminous efficacy (LE) are two key performance factors of white LEDs (WLED). While most recent works in optics focus on methodology to improve these factors, little attention has been dedicated to chemical composition of materials. This paper studies the effect of $Sr_{2.4}1F_{2.59}B_{20.03}O_{74.8}:Eu_{0.12},Sm_{0.048}$ phosphor (SrSm), in terms of concentration and particle size on CRI and LE of 8500 K - WLEDs. Importantly, the molar mass of the componential ions in SrSm are calculated to shed light on the connection between the chemical composition of the material of interest and the performance of WLEDs. Results show that CRI can be improved to a value of around 86 by boosting red-light components in WLEDs, for all 3 major configurations: conformal, in-cup, and remote phosphor. CRI value tends to decrease with larger size of particles, while LE value goes in the reverse direction. On the other hand, both CRI and LE appear to be reduced at higher concentration of SrSm. This light attenuation is analyzed by using the Lambert-Beer law and Mie-scattering theory.

Color Doppler imaging (CDI) was carried out to evaluate the anesthetics effect on ophthalmic circulation using CDI-derived resistive index (RI) values. CDI was preformed on 24 dogs, and RI values were calculated for the medial long posterior ciliary artery (mLPCA) and ophthalmic artery (OA) before and after administration of anesthetics. After administration of benoxinate or acepromazine, a significant change of the mLPCA RI was not found. But, a significant decrease of the RI following ketamine (p < 0.001) or xylazine (p < 0.01) administration could be observed as compared with the self-control. Mean RI value of OA also showed this same trend. Intraocular pressure was significantly decrease following benoxinate (p < 0.01), acepromazine (p < 0.01), and xylazine (p < 0.001) administration within normal range. The results suggest that some anesthetics influence on ophthalmic vascular resistance. Therefore, chemical restraint was carefully used in clinical application of CDI-derived RI measurement. Particularly, benoxinate and acepromazine is useful chemical restraint without a change of the ophthalmic vascular resistance.

녹변된 마늘의 색소연구 일환으로 녹변색소의 추출 조건과 특성을 조사하고, 녹변마늘의 분광학적 및 관능적 특성을 조사하였으며, 이 자료를 기초로 하여 녹변도를 객관적으로 표시할 수 있는 Green Index를 설정하였다. 녹변마늘의 색소는 비교적 methanol, ethanol 및 물 등의 용매에서 추출이 좋았으나 비극성 용매에는 거의 추출되지 않는 수용성 색소이었으며 1.0% HCl이 첨가된 methanol 용매가 녹변색소의 추출을 위한 최적용매이었다. 색소 추출을 위한 온도의 영향은 추출온도가 높을수록 초기에는 색소 추출률이 높았으나 일정시간이 경과한 후에는 색소의 파괴로 추출률이 감소하였다. $4^{\circ}C$의 저온에서는 초기에 색소추출률이 낮았으나 시간이 경과함에 따라 서서히 추출률은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 녹변색소의 안정성과 추출속도를 고려하여 $20^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 추출하는 것이 녹변마늘의 색소추출 최적온도 및 최적시간으로 평가되었다. 녹변색소는 대단히 불안정하여 녹변마늘의 녹변정도를 객관적으로 나타낼 수 있는 방법이 확립되지 않아, 녹변마늘과 대조구를 일정한 비율로 혼합하여 color chart를 고안하였다. 또한 이들의 L, a, b, ${\Delta}E,\;-a/b,\;\sqrt {a^2+b^2}$, 흡광도 및 관능검사 결과를 통해 녹변정도를 정확히 평가할 수 있는 녹변도(green index, GI)를 확립하였다. 녹변된 마늘의 녹변도 특성과 표면색도의 a값 사이에 고도로 유의성 있는 상관관계가 확인되었으며. 이들 두 변수의 상관관계는 Y=-3.465X-11.675의 식으로 표시되었고, 이때 $R^2$는 0.093, F값은 1265.3이었다. 확인실험을 수행한 결과 관능검사에서 GI가 3이상일 때 녹변마늘로 평가되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 마늘의 color chart 및 GI는 마늘의 수확 후 저장, 유통과정에서 녹변의 발생유무를 판단하는 지표로서 유용하게 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

원격탐사 근적외선(NIR)과 Red 밴드의 반사도로부터 계산되는 정규식생지수(NDVI)는 구름에 오염된 곳에서는 실제보다 낮은 값으로 계산된다. 식생지수에서 구름오염 문제를 극복하는 기존의 대표적인 방법에는 보름 정도 장기간 식생지수 값 중에서 최대인 값을 취하는 MVC(Maximum Value Composite) 방법이 있다. 하지만 MVC 방법으로는 식생지수의 단기간 변동을 파악할 수 없으며, 장기간 계속 구름으로 오염된 곳은 잘못된 식생지수 값으로 계산되는 문제점이 있다. 가시광 RGB 자료로부터 snapshot 영상자료의 구름을 마스크(mask)하는 새로운 방법인 CIM(Color Index Manipulation) 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘을 사용하면 snapshot 영상자료에서 구름에 오염된 곳은 제외하고 오염되지 않은 곳에 대한 식생지수를 계산할 수 있다. RGB 자료에 대한 정규색상지수 NCI (Normalized Color Index) 3개 성분을 $120^{\circ}$ 간격으로 벌어진 3개 축상의 좌표로 나타낸 후 이들 3개 값의 벡터합(vector sum) 정보를 이용하여 구름을 식별하는 CIM 방법으로 위성영상에서 두꺼운 구름과 않은 구름을 구분하여 식별할 수 있다. 이 구름식별 기법을 MODIS snapshot 위성영상 자료에 적용하여 한반도의 일별(daily) 식생지수 자료를 계산하였다. 그리고 수년간의 일별 식생지수 자료로부터 한반도 식생지수의 계절적 변동을 조사하였다.

Color shade variation was investigated in zirconia dental blocks, prepared using commercial powders. As a reference color-shade block we used the color indexes of A2, A3.5, A4 and B3, according to the VITA classical color scale. The zirconia powders for color shade blocks showed colors of white, yellow, pink and grey, respectively, after firing at $1530^{\circ}C$. The zirconia powders were mixed according to the recipe of color shade blocks and shaped at lower pressure using a uniaxial hydrostatic press. The shaped sample was inserted into a vinyl pack and sealed in a vacuum form machine. The shaped block samples were reshaped at 450 bar using an isostatic cold press and fired at $1530^{\circ}C$ for three hours. In order to investigate the atmospheric color variation with firing temperature, the A2, A3.5, A4 and B3 sintered blocks were fired between $700^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ under controlled atmosphere of $pN_2$ and $pO_2$. The surface color picture was taken using a smart phone camera and compared with the results obtained using the VITA classical color scale. Quantitative color index value, CIELAB, was measured using a color-meter. Above $800^{\circ}C$, the color darkness greatly increased with the increase of the reduction temperature and keeping time.

Various studies with regard to increasing the optical efficiency of plasmonic color filters have previously been conducted, such as mixing materials or applying diverse pattern shapes. Fundamentally, it is important to maximize the photonic crystal effect by finding the optimum periods of lattice as well as calculating the most efficient transmission area. In this study, we propose a technical method for optimizing the plasmonic color filters that have a high color gamut and luminance by analyzing the light spectrums based on the 1931 color coordinate system. Moreover, we suggest a calculation method in order to define the individual color purity of red and green and blue filters. Consequently, efficiency values are obtained independently from each color filter by evaluating the color purity and the luminance. The final result obtained from simulation are 27.6% of relative luminance and 25.3% of color gamut. The proposed optimization method is applicable to all plasmonic color filters having photonic crystal arrays.
