The concept of Solid-State Fermentation is briefly explained in comparison to other fermentation principles, and several types of fermenters are presented. A recently developed "Swing Reactor" for SSF is shown. When inoculated on rice, the mould Monascus purpureus forms red pigments, Which can be used as food colors (Ang-kak, Red Rice). By Response Surface Methodology, serveral factors have been optimized for maximal red colour formation. Showing that presoaking time of rice, pH of soaking water, age of preculture and inoculum size were not of importance within the observed limits. For a fermentation time of 7 days, start humidity is optimal at 34% and temperature is optimal at 28.8 C. These results of small scale fermentation could be transferred to the Swing Reactor.

Using quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasma, we can analyze gas characteristic. In this paper, the electron transport characteristic in $CH_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 0.1${\sim}$ 300(Td), at the 300($_{\circ}$ K) by the two term approximation Boltzmann equation method and Monte Carlo Simulation. The electron energy distribution function has been analysed in $CH_4$ at E/N=10, 100 for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean energy. The result of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo Simulation has been compared with experimental data by Ohmori, $Lucas^{[18]}$ and Carter. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to sever as a critical test of current theories of low energy scattering by atoms and molecules.

This paper proposes an efficient method to locate the automated guided vehicle (AGV) into a specific parking position using artificial visual landmark and vision-based algorithm. The landmark has comer features and a HSI color arrangement for robustness against illuminant variation. The landmark is attached to left of a parking spot under a crane. For parking, an AGV detects the landmark with CCD camera fixed to the AGV using Harris comer detector and matching descriptors of the comer features. After detecting the landmark, the AGV tracks the landmark using pyramidal Lucas-Kanade feature tracker and a refinement process. Then, the AGV decreases its speed and aligns its longitudinal position with the center of the landmark. The experiments showed the AGV parked accurately at the parking spot with small standard deviation of error under bright illumination and dark illumination.

The optical flow theory can be utilized for automatically tracking and positioning homologous points in digital video (DV) image sequences. In this paper, the Lucas-Kanade optical flow estimation (LKOFE) method and the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) method are compared and analyzed using the DV image sequences acquired by our SONY DCRPC115 DV camera. Thus, an improved optical flow estimation procedure, called 'Iterated Optical Flow Estimation (IOFE)', is presented. Our test results show that the trackable range of 3${\sim}$4 pixels in the LKOFE procedure can be apparently enlarged to 30 pixels in the IOFE.

$SF_6$ gas is widely used in industrial of insulation field. In this paper, $N_2$ is mixed to improve pure $SF_6$ gas characteristics. Electron transport coefficients in $SF_6-N_2$ mixture gases are simulated in range of E/N values from 70 to 400 [Td] at 300K and 1 Torr by using Boltzmann equation method. The results have been obtained by using the electron collision cross sections by TOF, PT, SST sampling, compared with the experimental data determined by the other author. It also proved the reliability of the electron collision cross sections and shows the practical values of computer simulation. The result of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo Simulation has been compared with experimental data by Ohmori, Lucas and Carter. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to sever as a critical test of current theories of low energy scattering by atoms and molecules.

Computer-aided design (CAD)-based Monte Carlo radiation transport is of value to the nuclear engineering community for its ability to conduct transport on high-fidelity models of nuclear systems, but it is more computationally expensive than native geometry representations. This work describes the adaptation of a rendering data structure, the signed distance field, as a geometric query tool for accelerating CAD-based transport in the direct-accelerated geometry Monte Carlo toolkit. Demonstrations of its effectiveness are shown for several problems. The beginnings of a predictive model for the data structure's utilization based on various problem parameters is also introduced.

Face recognition under controlled settings, such as limited viewpoint and illumination change, can achieve good performance nowadays. However, real world application for face recognition is still challenging. In this paper, we use Affine SIFT to detect affine invariant local descriptors for face recognition under large viewpoint change. Affine SIFT is an extension of SIFT algorithm. SIFT algorithm is scale and rotation invariant, which is powerful for small viewpoint changes in face recognition, but it fails when large viewpoint change exists. In our scheme, Affine SIFT is used for both gallery face and probe face, which generates a series of different viewpoints using affine transformation. Therefore, Affine SIFT allows viewpoint difference between gallery face and probe face. Experiment results show our framework achieves better recognition accuracy than SIFT algorithm on FERET database.

The Guatemalan government and guerrilla forces(the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteco, URNG) signed peace accord in 1996, and ended civil conflict(1960-1996). The bloodiest governments of the 36-year-lond armed conflict were those of Lucas Garc?a, R?os Montt and Mej?a V?ctores, between 1978 and 1983. The war that Guatemala underwent resulted in more than 200,000 casualties, more than 83% of them Mayan, according to the report of the CEH(Comision para de Esclarecimiento Historico). 'Victoria 82' and 'Opreation Sof?a' were the strategy of military dictatorship to destory indigenous Mayan communities. This paper is to demonstrates that the Guatemalan state perpetrated a genocide against the indigenous population using racism to strengthening modern nation-state and this was because, historically and structurally, it possessed, in its intrinsic naturem the repressive, ideological and legal apparatus. To distinguish Maya from ladino is often linked to cultural and social discrimination and a system of racial ranking. Militaty dictatorship used the system of racial ranking to exterminate indigenous populations.

본 논문에서는 손 모션에 대하여 피부색 검출을 기반으로 전역적인 모션을 추적하고 모션 벡터를 생성하여 제스처를 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 추적을 위하여 Shi-Tomasi 특징점 검출 방법과 Lucas-Kanade 옵티컬 플로우 추정 방법을 사용한다. 손 모션을 추적하는 경우 손의 모양이 다양하게 변화하므로 초기에 검출된 특징점을 계속적으로 추적하는 일반적인 방법으로는 손의 모션을 제대로 추적할 수 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 프레임마다 새로운 특징점을 검출한 후 옵티컬 플로우를 추정하고 이상치(outlier)를 제거하여 손 모양의 변화에도 추적을 통한 모션 벡터 생성이 가능하도록 한다. 모션 벡터들로 인공 신경망을 사용한 판별 과정을 수행하여 최종적으로 손 모션 제스처에 대한 인식이 가능하도록 한다.

In this study, some new relations between generalized Fibonacci numbers and matrices are given. The work is designed in three stages: Firstly, it is obtained a relation between generalized Fibonacci numbers and integer powers of the matrices X satisfying the relation X² = pX +qI, and also, many results are derived from obtained relation. Then, it is established more general relation between generalized Fibonacci numbers and the square matrices X satisfying the condition X² = V_nX - (-q)ⁿI. Finally, some applications and numerical examples related to the obtained results are given.
