Transformation optics methodology provides a new pathway for designing novel devices. It is based on changing a material’s permittivity and permeability. A design for changing the appearance of an object by transformation optics methodology is proposed here. Through a certain transformation, the relations of the metric spaces and the calculation of the material parameters are derived, and the aim of changing the apparent size of an object can be realized. Full wave simulations are performed to validate the proposed device’s performance. It is possible to think that the methodology will improve the flexibility of designing interesting applications in microwave and optical regimes.

A method is proposed to generalize the image transformation from an image to another one according to a pair of example images. When an original image and its target image are given, the unknown image transformation from the original image to the target one in automatically approximated by a sequence of several known image transformation filters by the method. The target image is assumed to be generated manually by using a drawing software. In this method, the order of image transformation filers is regarded as the chromosome of a virtual living thing and is evolved according to Genetic Algorithm. This method can be applied to automatic construction of expert systems for image processing.

A positive selectable marker system was adapted for transformation of mature embryo-derived calli of Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) utilizing the PMI gene encoding for phosphomannose-isomerase that converts mannose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. The transformed cells grew on medium supplemented with 3% mannose as carbon source and calli were selected on media containing various concentrations of mannose. Molecular analyses showed that the transformed plants contained the PMI gene. The results indicate that the mannose selection system can be used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of mature embryo in rice to substitute the use of conventional selectable markers in genetic transformation.

We report the development of a new selection system for the transformation of pepper plants by mannose. In order to achieve this, we first tested several factors related to regeneration conditions. Among the 30 inbred lines examined, line P9l5 was able to generate shoots at the highest rate from both cotyledons and hyporotyls in MS media. A dosage curve for optimizing the selection conditions was established by mixing mannose (range 0-50 g/L) and sucrose (range 0-30 g/L). The least selection pressure on shoot formation was created by a mixture of sucrose and mannose at 20 g/L and 15 g/L, respectively, and the threshold for ultimate tissue death was 50 g/L of mannose irrespective of the sucrose concentration. However, we found that mannose itself was not the sole inhibitor of pepper shoot development. High concentrations of sucrose (30 g/L) contributed additively to the inhibition of shoot formation at higher mannose concentrations. Genotype preference is a major factor that enhances regeneration ability in mannose media, as was observed in MS media. P9l5 and P410 line had high regeneration rates under mannose selection conditions in the presence of Agrobacterium infection. Different virulence levels of Agrobacterium strains did change the regeneration rates, probably due to interaction with the specificities of the inbred lines. Taken together, P9l5 offers the best pepper inbred line for transformation and we recommend a selection condition of 20 g/L of sucrose and 15 g/L or more of mannose up to 50 g/L in media.

In terms of the risk assessment, qualitative and quantitative informations are needed to estimate the exposures of environmental pollutants, which may be potentiality of risks, and those are the information about the changes caused by the chemical transportation among environmental media and transformation in environmental media by duration. The various fate mechanism of chemical is possible for estimation of chemical concentration in environmental media. Since there are limitations in measuring the change of chemical concentration within all medium according to the time period, estimating method through modeling are developed.

It has been reported that some plants have the potential to metabolize the 2,4,6-trintroluene (TNT) in contaminated soils, sediments and natural water. In this study, the effects of TNT on germination and early seedling development of Abutilion avicennae was characterized in a germination test. Concentration up to 80 mg/L TNT did not affect germination but root and shoot growth, and fresh biomass decreased as TNT concentration increased. A series of axenic hydroponical batch culture of Abutilion avicennae at various initial TNT concentration was used to determine its transformation kinetics, to identify products formed, and to evaluate phytotoxic effects on the TNT transformation process. At higher initial TNT concentrations, TNT removal rate constant decreased, however, total amount of TNT removed was increased in the culture media. Reductive transformation products of TNT were not detected in the plant culture media but higher concentrations of reduced metabolites were detected in the root and stem extracts of plant material at the 7 days of batch incubation. From these results we concluded that Abutilion avicennae has an intrinsic capacity for taking up and transforming TNT.

We derive a set of formuale which show one-to-one correspondence between the the unitary Jones matrices of transparent anisotropic media and the rotational transformations on the Poincare sphere. By using the formuale one can determine the vectorial representation of the rotational transformation on the Poincare sphere which specifies the direction of the axis and the angle of the rotation in terms of the three parameters specific to the corresponding unitary Jones matrix, and conversely the the three parameters of the uniatry Jones matrix in terms of the vectorial representation of the corresponding rotational transformation on the Poincare sphere. To understand the polarization transmission characteristics of an optical system consisting of transparent linear anisotropic media, start with the Jones calculus to get the unitary Jones matrix for the whole system and then convert it to a rotational transformation on the Poincare sphere, from which we can intuitively understand the effect of the optical system on the polarization state of the light passing through the system.

Estimation and correction of color temperature of digital images are basis of white balance adjustment after image acquisition stage. White balance is one of the most important image processing techniques for subjective image quality enhancement. Correction of color temperature is applied for white balance adjustment or for changing the mood of a picture. A picture taken under the daylight can be changed to have a mood of sunset or cloudy day, for example. We evaluate color temperature transformation of high dynamic range images in linear and log domain, and we conclude that linear domain transformation shows better results.

Genetic transformation of streptomyces gaespitosus by plasmid plJ 702 was camied out. Optimal conditions for the protoplast preparation of streptomyces casepitosus, its regeneration, and its transformation by plJ 702 were evaluated. Addition of 2% glycine to the culture broth was optimal for protoplast yield. Formation and regeneration of protoplasts were most efficient when the mycelium were harvested at between late log and stationary growth phase. The regeneration frequency of the protoplasts was 15% when the protoplats were regenerated on R2YE agar media containing 0.5M sucrose. Under the best condition for protoplats (M.W. 4,000) treatment for 2 minutes.

This study investigated the application and the change of various architectural models by analyzing expression viewpoint media, which were applied to the visual information of digitalized 3D contemporary architectural models. The purpose of this study was to specify how modern architects have changed 3D architectural models to conceptual, logical, and formational visual information in the process of design. This study discovered a framework of analyses by theoretically investigating a relationship between expression media and expression change in the process of visualizing architectural models. Using the framework of analyses, this study analyzed how the expression viewpoints of architectural model information have been changed and applied. The transformation media of the visual information of digitalized 3D architectural models can be classified into conceptual, analytical, and formational information: 1) Contemporary architects used author-centered subjective viewpoints to express architectural concepts, which were generated in the process of their design. They selected a perspective viewpoint and a bird's eye view in order to present their architectural concepts and to depict them with one architectural model by expanding the visual scope of conceptual information. 2) Contemporary architects adopted observer-centered objective bird's eye view expression media to effectively present their architectural information to building owners and viewers. They used transformal media, which integrate architectural information into 3D and change it to different scales, in order to express their architecture logically. 3) Contemporary architects delivered model information about the generation and change of forms by expressing the image of a project from an author-centered viewpoint, instead of objectively defining formational information. They explained the generation principle of architectural forms via transformal media which develop and rotate an architectural model.
