The discrimination of the agricultural origin, especially locally produced of imported products such as black rices was investigated by using electronic nose. Volatile components from these products were discriminated by six metal oxide sensors without pretreatment. Pattern recognition was carried out. Principal component analysis showed the differences between imported and locally produced ones. The number of 57 from 69 species of black rices were recognized as locally produced one (83.33%) and 11 from 13 species one (imported black rices) was correctly discriminated. Unknown habitat of black rice could be identified by artificial neural network system whether the imported or not. Also commercial electronic nose (E-nose 5000) that was combined with metal oxide sensor and conducting polymer sensor showed 92.75% (locally produced black rices) and 92.31% (imported one) of discrimination.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of self-esteem on relationships between experience of discrimination and school life maladjustment. This study utilized 648 elementary school students who participated in Community Child Center Children's Panel Survey. Collected data was analyzed through correlation analysis and regression analysis using SPSS Win 21.0 statistical program. First, the experience of being discriminated and discriminating against others were positively related school life maladjustment but were negatively related self-esteem. Second, self-esteem had partially mediated school life maladjustment during discriminating against others. And self-esteem had totally mediated school life maladjustment during being discriminated. Based on these results, this study discusses practical implications for preventing discrimination of children attending community child center.

These experiments were carried out to obtain basic information necessary for sexing embryos by chromosomal analysis. To observe metaphase chromosomes, all embryos developed to blastocysts were cultured in Ho, pp. & Pitts' medium containing 0.001% Colcemid under the gas phase of 5% CO2 in air at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The sex chromosome of mouse embryos shown normal development after culture in medium containing H-Y antiserum (10%, v/v) and complement (20%, v/v) also was confimed by chromosomal analysis. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: 1. Among 89 mouse blastocysts, the number of embryos identified to have XX and XY chromosome was 22(25%) and 25(28%), respectively and 42(47%) embryos were not identified. 2. Of total 40 mouse balstocysts cultured in medium containing H-Y antiserum and complement, 23(58%) embryos which were able to be discriminated their sex chromosomes were identified to be XX bearing embryos. 3. Sex chromosomes of a number of embryos subjected to chromosomal analysis were not identified. This result may be due to absence or poor quality of metaphase spreads.

As a device for taste sensation, an 8-channel taste evaluation system was prepared and applied for discriminant analysis of marketed liquor. The biomimetic polymer membranes for the system were prepared through a casting procedure by employing polyvinyl chloride, bis (2-ethylhexyl)sebacate as plasticizer and electroactive materials such as valinomycin in the ratio of 33:66:1, and were separately attached over the sensitive area of ion-selective electrodes to construct the corresponding taste sensor array. The sensor array in conjunction with a double junction reference electrode was connected to a high-input impedance amplifier and the amplified sensor signals were interfaced to a personal computer via an A/D converter. When the signal data from the sensor array for 3 groups of marketed liquor like Maesilju, Soju and beer were analyzed by principal component analysis after normalization, it was observed that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd principal component were responsible for most of the total data variance, and the analyzed liquor samples were discriminated well in 2 dimensional principal component planes composed of the 1st-2nd and the 1st-3rd principal component.

The purpose of this study was to compare the Korean and Chinese university students' materialism and clothing attitudes. Self-administered questionnaires developed by researcher were used and the research periods were from Feb. 20 to Mar. 19, 2003. 429 Korean and 405 Chinese students's data was used for analysis. Cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, t-test, and discriminant analysis were done. Korean students pursuited happiness more than utility and accomplishment, but Chinese students pursuited accomplishment more than happiness and practicality. The students were divided into the happiness pursuit, the utility pursuit, and the accomplishment pursuit. The group size of the utility pursuit and the happiness pursuit among Korean students and the utility pursuit and the accomplishment pursuit among Chinese students were larger. Korean students preferred fashionability, psychological dependence, sexual attraction of clothing more, but Chinese preferred conformity more. Utility and accomplishment of materialism, and fashionability and conformity of clothing were strong variables which discriminated Korean students from Chinese students, and total discriminating power was 77.1%.

In this paper, we present a method to define a color similarity between color images using Octree-based quantization and similar color integration. The proposed method defines major colors from each image using Octree-based quantization. Two color palettes to consist of major colors are compared based on Euclidean distance and similar color bins between palettes are matched. Multiple matched color bins are integrated and major colors are adjusted. Color histogram based on the color palette is constructed for each image and the difference between two histograms is computed by the weighted Euclidean distance between the matched color bins in consideration of the frequency of each bin. As an experiment to validate the usefulness, we discriminated the same clothing from CCD camera images based on the proposed color similarity analysis. We retrieved the same clothing images with the success rate of 88 % using only color analysis without texture analysis.

In this paper, we propose new algorithm of speaker recognition which identifies the speaker using the information obtained by the intensive speech feature analysis such as pitch, intensity, duration, and formant, which are crucial parameters of individual voice, for candidates of high percentage of wrong recognition in the existing speaker recognition algorithm. For testing the power of discrimination of individual parameter, DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) is used. We newly set the range of threshold which affects the power of discrimination in speech verification such that the candidates in the new range of threshold are finally discriminated in the next stage of sound parameter analysis. In the speaker verification test by using voice DB which consists of secret words of 25 males and 25 females of 8 kHz 16 bit, the algorithm we propose shows about 1% of performance improvement to the existing algorithm.

Steel-confined reinforced concrete (SCRC) columns feature highly complex and invisible mechanisms that make damage evaluation and pattern recognition difficult. In the present article, the prevailing acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied to monitor and evaluate the damage process of steel-confined RC columns in a quasi-static test. AE energy-based indicators, such as index of damage and relax ratio, were proposed to trace the damage progress and quantitatively evaluate the damage state. The fuzzy C-means algorithm successfully discriminated the AE data of different patterns, validity analysis guaranteed cluster accuracy, and principal component analysis simplified the datasets. A detailed statistical investigation on typical AE features was conducted to relate the clustered AE signals to micro mechanisms and the observed damage patterns, and differences between steel-confined and unconfined RC columns were compared and illustrated.

The eye-tracking [ET] is used on the human computer interaction [HCI] analysing the movement status as well as finding the gaze direction of the eye by tracking pupil's movement on a human face. Nowadays, the ET is widely used not only in market analysis by taking advantage of pupil tracking, but also in grasping intention, and there have been lots of researches on the ET. Although the vision based ET is known as convenient in application point of view, however, not robust in changing environment such as illumination, geometrical rotation, occlusion and scale changes. This paper proposes two steps in the ET, at first, face and eye regions are discriminated by Haar classifier on the face, and then the pupils from the discriminated eye regions are tracked by CAMShift as well as Template matching. We proved the usefulness of the proposed algorithm by lots of real experiments in changing environment such as illumination as well as rotation and scale changes.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of the salivary lesions was performed on 221 patients at Soonchunhyang University Hospital for 10 years. Of 221 aspirates, 6 aspirates(2.7%) were inadequate, 116 cases(52.5%) were non-neoplastic lesions, 76(34.4%) cases were benign neoplasms and 23 cases(10.4%) were malignant neoplasms. The cytologic diagnoses could be correlated with histologic findings in 58 cases. FNAC correctly discriminated between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions in fifty-seven lesions and failed in a case, and overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 98.3%, 98.0%, and 100.0%. FNAC correctly discriminated malignant neoplasms from benign neoplastic/nonneoplastic lesions in fifty-three cases and fatted in five cases, and overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 91.3%, 72.7%, and 95.7%. Among three false negative cases, two mucoepidermoid carcinomas were misdiagnosed as mucocele and benign neoplasm, and an acinic cell carcinoma were misdiagnosed as Warthin's tumor. Two false positive cases were a Warthin's tumor misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and a pleomorphic adenoma misinterpretated as suggestive of malignancy. In conclusion diagnostic accuracy of FNAC of salivary lesions is high, and the possibilities of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma should be considered on hypocellular smears with mucoid or fluidy background.
