A region-based video codec based on the H.263+ standard is examined and its associated novel rate control scheme is proposed in this work. The region-based coding scheme is a hybrid method that consists of the traditional block DCT coding and the object-based coding. Basically, we adopt H.263+ as the platform, and develop a fast macroblock-based segmentation method to implement the region-based video codec. The proposed rate control solution includes rate control in three levels: encoding frame selection, frame-layer rate control and macroblock-layer rate control. The goal is to enhance the visual quality of decoded frames at low bit rates. The efficiency of proposed rate control scheme applied to the region-based video codes is demonstrated via several typical test sequences.

This paper shows a practical approach that is robust to the errors causing path-delay in mobile wireless location, and analyzes its performance by comparing with other methods. NLOS(non-line-of-sight) error and multipath are two big sources of positioning error in wireless location. Contrary to GPS(global positioning system), they result from the terrestrial propagation of a signal. Especially, since LOS(line-of-sight) path between a transceiver and a receiver is blocked by intermediate buildings and topography, NLOS causes a signal to be reflected and diffracted. This path-delay error is very localized, and so, it is not easy to be estimated and mitigated. To treat such localized error, therefore ...

The physical models are useful to understand the soil behaviour. Hence, these tools allow validating analytical theories and numerical data. This paper addresses the design, construction and implementation of a physical model able to simulate the soil liquefaction under different cyclic actions. The model was instrumented with a piezoelectric actuator and a set of transducers to measure the porewater pressures, displacements and accelerations of the system. The soil liquefaction was assessed in three different grain size particles of a natural sand by applying a sinusoidal signal, which incorporated three amplitudes and the fundamental frequencies of three different earthquakes occurred in Colombia. In addition, such frequencies were scaled in a micro shaking table device for 1, 50 and 80 g. Tests allowed identifying the liquefaction susceptibility at various frequency and displacement amplitude combinations. Experimental evidence validated that the liquefaction susceptibility is higher in the fine-grained sands than coarse-grained sands, and showed that the acceleration of the actuator controls the phenomena trigging in the model instead of the displacement amplitude.

Transoral microsurgery has come a long way as a go-to surgical intervention technique for head and neck cancers. This minimally invasive procedure had gained acceptance through comparative clinical studies against radical neck surgical procedures, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Laser technology has vastly improved the oncological outcomes of this procedure and brought about an appreciation of transoral laser surgery (TLM) as a mainstay for re-sectioning malignant tumors along the throat. As an established procedure, TLM has undergone several upgrades regarding the different energy devices used for cutting, ablation, and hemostasis. Continued advances in automation have eventually led to surgical robotics, resulting in the emergence of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a viable advanced alternative for TLM. Similarly, expansions and enhancements (image-based guidance, fluorescence spectroscopy, and advanced robotic system) have also been investigated as potential upgrades for TORS. This paper reviews a selection of publications on the significant technological advancements to TLM and TORS over the past five years.

This review paper discusses the relevance and potential importance of food-feed systems in Asian agricultural systems, and in particular the role and contribution of legumes to these systems. A food-feed system is one that maintains, if not increases, the yield of food crops, sustains soil fertility, and provides dietary nutrients for animals. It involves a cropping pattern within which the feed crop has many beneficial effects without competing for land, soil nutrients and water with the food crops. The agricultural environment is described with reference to the priority agro-ecological zones and prevailing mixed farming systems in Asia. Within these systems, animal production is severely hampered by critical feed shortages which can however, be alleviated by the integration of suitable leguminous forages into the cropping systems. The review also focuses on the role and potential importance of leguminous forages in terms of biodiversity, their uses in farming systems, beneficial effects on animal performance, and draws attention to six case studies in different countries that clearly demonstrate many benefits of developing such food-feed systems. Considerable opportunities exist for widening the use of forage legumes in the development of systems with several complementary advantages (e.g. fenceline, cover crops, fodder banks, forage source and erosion control) to improve the development of sustainable crop-animal systems in Asia.

We propose a Z-HBT line coding for a LED-ID system. Z-HBT line coding is defined as follows. First, we apply half bit transition to one bit. Second, we decode encoded bits using difference of bit transition level in one bit duration. As a result, we obtain advantages about synchronization problem and noise effect mitigation at the receiver. We set up outdoor the LED-ID simulation environment. At simulation results, we show 2-3dB gain as compared with existing line coding schemes. The results of the paper can be applied to design and implementation of LED-ID systems for indoor wireless multimedia services.

본 연구는 Ohmic heating system을 이용하여 돈육을 해동하여 해동에 의한 식육의 손상을 최소화하고 신선육과 유사한 해동육을 얻기 위해 최적 해동 속도에 대한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 각각의 ohmic power intensity(AC, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 Volt)에 따른 돈육의 해동속도는 기하학적으로 중심부 변화에서 가장 빠른 해동속도는 40V에서 1,582 cm/h로 산출되었고 OV의 0.307cm/h에 비하여 약 5배 정도 빠르게 나타났으며 power intensity가 증가할수록 해동속도가 증가하였다. 이와 같이 ohmic intensity(X: volt)와 해동속도(Y: cm/h)변화를 수학적으로 나타내었는데 다음과 같다; lnY=-0.8971+$1.0345{\cdot}X$ $R^2=0.9968$. 각각의 ohmic power와 비교에서 대조구인 신선육의 보수력이 가장 높았고 해동시료인 처리구간 비교에서 power가 상대적으로 높은 30V, 40V에서 보수력이 가장 좋게 나타났다. Cooking loss에서는 power intensity에 따른 유의적인 변화는 발견되지 않았다. Colo에서는 b-값의 경우 ohmic power intensity가 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 해동시 power intensity가 증가할수록 pH는 다소 낮아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 육의 TBA가는 이와 반대로 ohmic thawing은 육의 TBA가를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였는데, power intensity에 따른 변화는 유의적인 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 그러나 VBN가에서는 신선육에 비해 해동육의 VBN은 증가하였지만 해동방법에 따른 차아는 발견되지 않았다.

The impacts of dynamic and thermodynamic schemes used in the Community Ice CodE (CICE), the Los Alamos sea ice model, on sea ice concentration, extent and thickness over the Arctic and Antarctic regions are evaluated. Using the six dynamic and thermodynamic schemes such as sea ice strength scheme, conductivity scheme, albedo type, advection scheme, shortwave radiation method, and sea ice thickness distribution approximation, the sensitivity experiments are conducted. It is compared with a control experiment, which is based on the fixed atmospheric and oceanic forcing. For sea ice concentration and extent, it is found that there are remarkable differences between each sensitivity experiment and the control run over the Arctic and Antarctic especially in summer. In contrast, there are little seasonal variations between the experiments for sea ice thickness. In summer, the change of the albedo type has the biggest influence on the Arctic sea ice concentration, and the Antarctic sea ice concentration has a greater sensitivity to not only the albedo type but also advection scheme. The Arctic sea ice thickness is significantly affected by the albedo type and shortwave radiation method, while the Antarctic sea ice thickness is more sensitive to sea ice strength scheme and advection scheme.
