In this paper, we present a regularized mixed norm multichannel image restoration algorithm. The problem of multichannel restoration using both within- and between- channel deterministic information is considered. For each channel a functional which combines the least mean squares (LMS), the least mean fourth(LMF), and a smoothing functional is proposed, We introduce a mixed norm parameter that controls the relative contribution between the LMS and the LMF, and a regularization parameter that defines the degree of smoothness of the solution, both updated at each iteration according to the noise characteristics of each channel. The novelty of the proposed algorithm is that no knowledge of the noise distribution for each channel is required, and the parameters mentioned above are adjusted based on the partially restored image.

In order to investigate the preliminary repeat oral dose toxicity and to determine the highest dosage for further 4-week repeated dose toxicity test, Low Molecular Weight Fucoidan (LMF) has been showed various pharmacological effects, was orally administered to female and male rats, once a day for 14 days at dose levels of 2,000, 1,000, 500 and 0 (vehicle control) mg/kg (body weights) in a volume of 10 ml/kg. The mortality and changes on the body weights, clinical signs, hematology, serum biochemistry and gross observations were monitored with organ weight and histopathology of principle organs. As the results of 14-day repeated oral treatment of LMF, no LMF treatment related mortalities were detected up to 2,000 mg/kg in both male and female rats, respectively. In addition, no noticeable changes on the body weight and clinical signs were detected except for significant decreases on the body weights and gains restricted to male 2,000 mg/kg treated groups as compared with male vehicle control. No meaningful changes on the organ weights, hematological, serum biochemistrical, gross and histopathological findings were observed. Therefore the highest dosage in the 4-week repeated dose toxicity test is suggested as 2,000 mg/kg in both female and male rats, respectively.

Blind techniques without the help of training sequences are able to detect the information signal which has the minimal information of desired user. In this paper, we proposed the blind multiuser detector using the hybrid cost function to cancel the multiple user interference in direct sequence code division multiple access systems. The cost function of proposed blind multiuser detector is the hybrid type which joints both least mean square(LMS) algorithm and least mean fourth(LMF) algorithm. We evaluate the bit error rate(BER) performance of proposed blind multiuser detector under additive white Gaussian noise channel. Simulation results show that the proposed blind detector has an about 3dB of signal to noise ratio more than blind minimum output energy(MOE) multiuser detector under existing active user 20.

Adaptive algorithms based on the higher order error criterion such as the LVCMS and the LMF show performance degradation if input signal contains additive noise with a heavier-tailed density. Conventional analysis often neglects higher order terms in the recursion and my not suit for prediction exact behavior of these higher order algorithms. This paper presents a new convergence analysis which contains all the higher order term in the recursion. The analysis shows that the higher order terms, which are often neglected, dose not affect the upper bound on the step size but the misadjustment. However, the effect decreases sharply proportional to the square of the step size.

Recent results are presented concerning the development of magnetofluidic leakage-free rotating seals for vacuum and high pressure gases, evidencing significant advantages compared to mechanical seals. The micro-pilot scale production of various types of magnetizable sealing fluids is shortly reviewed, in particular the main steps of the chemical synthesis of magnetic nanofluids and magnetic composite fluids with light hydrocarbon, mineral oil and synthetic oil carrier liquids. Design concepts and some constructive details of the magnetofluidic seals are discussed in order to obtain high sealing capacity. Different types of magnetofluidic sealing systems and applications are reviewed. Testing procedures and equipment are presented, as well as the sealing capabilities of different types of magnetizable fluids.

The effect of addition of fractionated milk fats on the composition and melting behavior of cocoa butter was investigated. High melting fraction (HMF) of milk fat fractions had the highest contents of long chain fatty acid $(C16{\sim}C18)$ and saturated fatty acid followed by medium melting fraction 1 (MMF1), medium melting fraction 2 (MMF2), anhydrous milk fat (AMF), and low melting fraction (LMF) in a decreasing order. MMF2 had the highest contents of the short chain fatty acid $(C4{\sim}C10)$ and medium chain fatty acid $(C12{\sim}C14)$ followed by AMF, HMF, MMF1, and LMF in a decreasing order. When the fractionated milk fats were added to cocoa butter, the long chain fatty acid contents increased with increasing the ratio of fractionated milk fats. The saturated fatty acid contents decreased only when the LMF was added. The higher content of long chain triglyceride and the lower contents of short chain triglyceride and medium chain triglyceride were obtained from the fractionated milk fat of higher melting point. When the fractionated milk fats were added to cocoa butter, long chain triglyceride contents decreased with increasing the ratio of the fractionated milk fats. The melting points of cocoa butter, AMF, HMF, MMF1, MMF2, LMF were $33.3^{\circ}C,\;31.2^{\circ}C,\;40.6^{\circ}C,\;37.4^{\circ}C,\;33.5^{\circ}C$, and $6.5^{\circ}C$, respectively. Cocoa butter had the highest content of solid fat followed by HMF, MMF1, MMF2, AMF, and LMF in a decreasing order. When the fractionated milk fat was added to cocoa butter at various temperatures, the solid fat content in the mixture of fractionated milk fat and cocoa butter decreased with increasing the ratio of fractionated milk fat. This results suggested that anhydrous milk fat and fractionated milk fats had a good compatibility with cocoa butter.

In this paper we study a new convergence behavior of the least mean fourth (LMF) algorithm where the error raised to the power of four is minimized for a multiple sinusoidal input and Gaussian measurement noise. Here we newly obtain the convergence equation for the sum of the mean of the squared weight errors, which indicates that the transient behavior can differ depending on the relative sizes of the Gaussian noise and the convergence constant. It should be noted that no similar results can be expected from the previous analysis by Walach and Widrow.

In this paper, convergence properties of the LMS, LMF, and LVCMS algorithms are investigated under the assumption of the uncorrelated Gaussian input data. By treating these algorithms as special cases of more general algorithm family, unified results on these algorithms are obtained. First the upper bound on the step size parameter is obtained. Second, an expression for misadjustment is obtained. These theoretical results confirm earlier LMS works. Further, the results explain why the LMS and LVCMS algorithms are experiencing difficulties with plant noise having heavier tailed densities. Simulation results agree with theoretical expectation closely for various plant noise statistics.
