According to living environment, the number of deaths due to thyroid diseases increased. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for recognizing a thyroid detection using texture analysis based on shape, gray level co-occurrence matrix and gray level run length matrix. First of all, we segmented the region of interest (ROI) using active contour model algorithm. Then, we applied a total of 18 features (5 first order descriptors, 10 Gray level co-occurrence matrix features(GLCM), 2 Gray level run length matrix features and shape feature) to each thyroid region of interest. The extracted features are used as statistical analysis. Our results show that first order statistics (Skewness, Entropy, Energy, Smoothness), GLCM (Correlation, Contrast, Energy, Entropy, Difference variance, Difference Entropy, Homogeneity, Maximum Probability, Sum average, Sum entropy), GLRLM features and shape feature helped to distinguish thyroid benign and malignant. This algorithm will be helpful to diagnose of thyroid nodule on ultrasound images.

The selective response of the sea bass, Lateolabrax japonieus and the gray rock cod, Sebastes inermis to the colored twines was studied in a white tiled aquarium C400LX60WX70H em), by use of Y -maze made of gray plastic plate. Anyone of the different colored twines, white, black, blue, yellow and red, was strung crosswise on a rectangular frame which was mounted to one of the two outlet ends of Y -maze, and another colored twine was used to the other end of the Y -maze. In each trial, a fish was guided toward the inlet of the Y -maze to let the fish select either one of the two different colored twines. The results obtained are aS follows: 1. Sea bass preferably selected the colored twines in a order of white, blue, yellow, black and red with significant difference. 2. Gray rock cod showed little difference in selecting colored twines even though the fish selected white one a little more frequently.

In this paper, we investigated the performances of the distributed video codec with adaptive Gray code to apply for frame-difference signal. That is, the best cases and the worst cases were analyzed and compared by considering the statistical characteristics of the frame difference signal in view of the Gray code allocation. Through computer simulations, if 9-bit data for frame difference signal is generated for luminance signal with 8-bit definition and so n-bit is allocated to the quantized coefficient, we were able to find the best method to reduce the virtual channel noise by adding $256+2^{9-n-1}$ to the frame difference signal. Through computer simulation with test video sequences, it was shown that the performance difference between the best cases and the worst cases is larger than about 1.5dB at same rate. It is expected that the results in this paper are applicable for the transform-domain scheme as well as the pixel-domain scheme.

Disease occurrence and development of gray blight of tea (Camellia sinensis) were investigated. Higher incidences and more severe damage by gray blight were found in Japanese tea variety Yabukita than the Korean local variety. In Yabukita, Pestalotiopsis longiseta was more frequently observed on the diseased leaves than P. theae but vice versa in the Korean local variety. This indicates that there was the varietal difference in the distribution of fungal species of gray blight pathogens. Both varieties were most severely damaged during the third harvest period with weather conditions of high temperature and humidity favorable to the disease. Presence of the tea brown blight fungus Glomerella cingulata on the margin of gray blight lesion at the late stahe suggested that the pathogenic fungi of tea gray blight were replaced by the brown blight fungus during the disease development.

A new approach to texture classification for ultrasound liver diagnosis using run difference matrix was developed. The run difference matrix consists of the gray level difference along with distance. From this run difference matrix, we defined several parameters such as LDE, LDEL, NUF, SMO, SMG, SHP etc. and three vectors namely DOD, DGD and DAD. Each parameter value calculated in fatty cirrhotic, chronic hepatitic and normal liver mage was plotted in two dimensional plane. We compared our results with run length method. There are several advantages of run difference matrix method over the run lengths. 1) It is more sensitive to small difference of gray level distribution. 2) The parameters provide more statistically significant value. Images were classified with the extracted parameters to each diseases using neural networks. In preliminary clinical exprements, this approach showed satisfying results.

In this paper, we present a novel method to minimize flicker and gray scale errors automatically across the entire panel by using a compensation of the gray levels of image. It was realized by image simulation with feedback structure. As a result of simulation, we observed flickers from the simulated image. And we compensated the gray scale levels for original image. The compensated gray scale levels correspond to flickers which are generated by difference of pixel voltage in odd and even frame. And we simulated repetitively the compensated image by our block diagram for reduction flicker. Consequently, we confirmed flickers have been decreased more than 87%. Furthermore, our method provides visualization and valid prediction for improvement of TFT-LCD panel

Commercial formulation of fungicides was studied in the golf course for evaluation against Typhula incarnata causal agents of gray snow mold. Efficacies of fungicides application, fungicide mixture, fungicides applied method (irrigation and spray) and fungicides applied time (early fall and late fall) were evaluated for their influence on the chemical control of gray snow mold of turfgrass during the winter season in Yongpyeong golf course, Korea. Unsprayed control has significantly more disease severity than three fungicides (azoxystrobin, propiconazole, and tebuconazole) were applied to field plots. Effect of three fungicides was over 80% with control value for controlling gray snow mold on Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass species. Effect of fungicide mixture with different family groups had an over 93% control value of gray snow mold on Kentucky bluegrass species. It was not significantly difference in fungicidal effect according to applied method (irrigation and spray) with azoxystrobin on Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentrasss species. Effect of fungicides applied time was a significantly difference on disease control by tebconazole early fall spray.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze skin reactions induced by ultraviolet irradiation using digital imagery. Methods : We recruited 15 women and ultraviolet irradiation was applied to their lumbar area. (The degree of inflammatory reaction was set on the basis of the third erythema dose. Image analysis was divided by Photoshop CS (8 bit RGB scale and gray scale). Then, images were processes using Image Pro Plus 4.5 program analyzing R, G, B, chromatic red value, luminance value and gray value. Results : As a result of analyzing changes in RGB scale, there were statistically significant differences in R, G, and chromatic red values. As a result of analyzing changes in gray scale, there were statistically significant differences in gray value. Analysis of changes in B and luminance values showed that there was no statistically significant difference. Conclusion : This study found that ultraviolet irradiation had influence on RGB and gray scale. These results suggest that changes to digital images on skin reaction by ultraviolet irradiation are related to erythema. In particular, these changes are related to R and gray values.

Recently, we reported a single input channel joint transform correlator for the color pattern recognition which decomposes the input color image into three R, G, and B gray components and adds those components into a single gray image in the input plane. This technique has the merit of a single input channel instead of three input channels. However, we found this technique has some problems with discrimination impossibility in the case of a simple primary color pattern which results in the same gray level through the addition process. Thus, we propose a modified coding technique which selectively recombines the decomposed three R, G, and B gray components instead of the simple adding process. Simulated results show that the modified coding technique can accurately discriminate a variety of kinds of color images.
