Automatic segmentation of foreground from background in video sequences has attracted lots of attention in computer vision. This paper proposes a novel framework for the background subtraction that the foreground is segmented from the background by directly subtracting a background image from each frame. Most previous works focus on the extraction of more reliable seeds with threshold, because the errors are occurred by noise, weak color difference and so on. Our method has good segmentations from the approximate seeds by using the Random Walks with Restart (RWR). Experimental results with live videos demonstrate the relevance and accuracy of our algorithm.

Transient signals generally have short duration and variable length with time-varying and non-stationary characteristics. Thus frame-based pattern matching method is useful for classification of transient signals. In this paper, we propose a new method for classification of underwater transient signals using a Gaussian mixture model(GMM). We carried out classification experiments for various underwater transient signals depending upon the types of noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and number of mixtures in the GMM. Experimental results have verified that the proposed method works quite well for classification of underwater transient signals.

Old movies are often corrupted by randomly located blotches and scratches. In this paper were present an efficient method for detection and removal of these distortions. The presented method is composed of two separate steps: the detection process and the restoration process. In the detection process, blotch locations are detected through global motion segmentation, the sequential approach to motion segmentation, a robust model-fit criterion and so on, we form the algorithm for the algorithm for the global motion segmentation tuned to the blotch detection problem. In the restoration process, the missing data of the detected blotch areas are temporally extrapolated from the corresponding image areas at the preceding or the succeeding image frame with considering the global motion segmentation results. We apply the presented method to moving image sequences distorted by artificial blotches. The method works very well and provides a subjective improvement of picture quality.

The building construction is an essential field to consider weather condition because construction works are performed in a site. From this reason, this study evaluated the effect of weather condition with work sections in building construction by Analytic Hierarchy Proces (AHP) method. The results of this study as follows : (1) The effect of weather condition with work sections is affected by rainfall in summer season, and by a low temperature in winter season (2) The effect of weather condition with work sections is 0.235 for mold work, 0.210 for concrete work, 0.181 for steel-frame work.

LNG stevedoring plant offshore pipelines requires human power and the longest construction period in constructing LNG storing terminal and influences on the success of the project absolutely. In this paper, the constructing procedures of LNG stevedoring plant offshore pipeline was established. Establishment of constructing procedures of LNG stevedoring plant offshore pipeline includes procurement of main equipments, iron frame and pipelines. To predict any expectable problems, that may occur by the stage of construction the application to the field works with a base of theoretical and practical contents for the constructing procedures of LNG stevedoring plant offshore pipelines can be established.

This paper will begin by describing osmosis and how reverse osmosis works. It will show how osmotic pressure affects reverse osmosis operations. It uill explain salt rejection, membrane flux, and recovery rates and the affect that salt built up has on membrane performance. It wil 1 explain the limitations of RO performance and why pretreatment is important. It will describe the two basic types of membrane, asymmetric and thin-film composite and explain the difference between these types plus compare cellulose acetate types to aromatic polyamide type membranes. It will discuss operating efficiences as it compares to feedwater pressure, concentration, temperature and pH. Finally, it will discuss the differences between tubular, plate and frame, hollow fiber and spiral wound element design. It will be a paper that talks about the basics of RO systems and should give a person who is unfamiliar with RO a basic introduction to this type of separation technology.

We have proposed a new approach based on energy gradient concept for the study of flow instability and turbulent transition in parallel flows in our previous works. It was shown that the disturbance amplitude required for turbulent transition is inversely proportional to Re, which is in agreement with the experiments for imposed transverse disturbance. In present study, the energy gradient theory is extended to the generalized curved flows which have much application in turbomachinery and other fluid delivery devices. Within the frame of the new theory, basic theorems for flow instability in general cases are provided in details. Examples of applications of the theory are given from our previous studies which show comparison of the theory with available experimental data. It is shown that excellent agreement has been achieved for several configurations. Finally, various prediction methods for turbulent transition are reviewed and commented.

We have studied the ac conductivity of insulating $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}FeO_3$ in the frequency range 20 Hz-l MHz and in the temperature range 80-300 K. We have analyzed experimental results in the frame works of the quantum-mechanical tunneling mechanism (QMT) and the hopping of barrier mechanism (HOB). We observed that small polaron QMT model is the most suitable mechanism for the low temperature ac conductivity of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}FeO_3$.

A designated verifier signature is a special type of digital signature, which convinces a designated verifier that she has signed a message in such a way that the designated verifier cannot transfer the signature to a third party. A strong designated verifier signature scheme enhances the privacy of the signer such that no one but the designated verifier can verify the signer's signatures. In this paper we present two generic frame works for constructing strong designated verifier signature schemes from any secure ring signature scheme and any deniable one-pass authenticated key exchange protocol, respectively. Compared with similar protocols, the instantiations of our construction achieve improved efficiency.

Exterior insulation board in cast-in-place concrete form system could reduce construction period and improve quality in apartment construction. However, the method is progressed with insulation and concrete frame works at the same time, then risk is increased in duration control and quality management. Therefore, this paper analyzed risk factors through FMEA method. We found that the key risk factors delaying schedule was insulation material that soaked in the rain and quality defects on the insulation material joint. Based on this research, the risk management approach should be developed for improvement of method activation.
