In this paper, we carried out some experiments on the Korean vowel recognition using the fractal dimension of the speech signals. We chose the Mincowski-Bouligand dimensioni as the fractal dimension, and computed it using the morphological covering method. For our experiments, we used both the fractal dimension and the LPC cepstrum which is conventionally known to be one of the best parameters for speech recognition, and examined the usefulness of the fractal dimension. From the vowel recognition experiments under various consonant contexts, we achieved the vowel recognition error rats of 5.6% and 3.2% for the case with only LPC cepstrum and that with both LPC cepstrum and the fractal dimension, respectively. The results indicate that the incorporation of the fractal dimension with LPC cepstrum gies more than 40% reduction in recognition errors, and indicates that the fractal dimension is a useful feature parameter for speech recognition.

The purpose of this paper is to show how the coda of a syllable and word-final clusters are represented in the English syllable structure. Previous theories on the syllable assume that there is only one segment in the coda position. And, as we know, the theories that license only one segment in the coda make it difficult to syllabicate the word-final cluster appropriately when more than two segments in the word-final cluster are encountered. I considered three approaches: the previous syllable structure (Selkirk, 1982; Borowsky 1989), sonority sequencing (Giegerich, 1992; Roca, 1999) and feature analysis (Goldsmith, 1990), But, all the considered methods don't give us a satisfactory explanation regarding word-final clusters. Finally, I will suggest a modified syllable representation as an alternative by placing two different appendixes under the Phonological Word which forms a constituent above the syllable node. From this it is possible to explain the former problematic word-final clusters including morphological information asan inflectional suffix in the structure.

Ultrasound-assisted melt mixing was applied to blending polystyrene (PS) and low density polyethylene(LDPE). The influence of the ultrasonic irradiation on the morphology and mechanical properties of the blends was investigated. It was observed that the domain sizes of the blend were significantly reduced and phase stability was well sustained even after a thermal treatment. Such morphological feature was consistent with the improvements in mechanical performance of the blends. The desirable results of ultrasonic compatibilization are mainly attributed to the in-situ formation of PS-LDPE copolymers as confirmed by a proper separation experiment. An important relationship between ultrasonic irradiation time and mechanical properties is revealed and an issue on the thermal stability of the blend is discussed.

In the area of computer vision, face recognition is being intensively researched. It is generally known that before a face is recognized it must be localized. Skin-color information is an important feature to segment skin-color regions. To extract skin-color regions the skin-color model based on multi-layer perceptron has been proposed. Extracted regions are analyzed to emphasize ellipsoidal regions. The results from this study show good accuracy for our vehicle driver face detection system.

This paper suggests a new CT-image segmentation algorithm. This algorithm uses morphological filters and the watershed algorithms. The proposed CT-image segmentation algorithm consists of six parts: preprocessing, image simplification, feature extraction, decision making, region merging, and postprocessing. By combining spatial and temporal information, we can get more accurate segmentation results. The simulation results illustrate not only the segmentation results of the conventional scheme but also the results of the proposed scheme; this comparison illustrates the efficacy of the proposed technique. Furthermore, we compare the various medical images of the structuring elements. Indeed, to illustrate the improvement of coding efficiency in postprocessing, we use differential chain coding for the shape coding of results.

일본산메추리(Coturnix coturnix japonica)의 핵형연구를 위하여 정소조직 및 백혈구, 초기태아조직들로서 염색체 분석을 수행하였다. 이들 염색체의 수는 정상 이배체(2n)가 78개로 나타나고, 계2 감수분열 중기상태의 정모세포의 관찰에서 반수체(n)가 39개로 나타났다. 한편 8개의 대형염색체 및 성 염상체에 대한 형태적 분석은 동원체지수 및 상대적 길이비로서 측정하였다. 이용된 여러 조직간의 염색체의 형태적 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으나 4번 염색체템서 p-alm의 존재유무에 따라 상당한 변이를 나타내었다.

Enterobacter sp. BL-2 excretively produced a unique cationic polyglucosamine biopolymer PGB-1 comprised of more than 95% D-glucosamine in an acetate-mediated culture condition. The excretion of the biopolymer PGB-1 was closely associated with the cellular morphology of Enterobacter sp. BL-2, a feature highly dependable on the pH of the medium. The initially formed uneven and irregular surface cells were aggregated into the cell-biopolymer network structure connected by the adhesion modules of the cell-bound biopolymer. The excretive production of the biopolymer PGB-1 coincided with the disruption of the cell-biopolymer network, most actively at the medium pH of 8.0.

Multi-Layer Ceramic Circuit(MLCC) in the face of thousands of fine pitch multi hole is processed. However, the fine pitch multi hole has a size of only a few micrometers. Therefore, in order to curtail the measurement time and reduce error, the image processing measurement method is required. So, we proposed an image processing measurement algorithm which is required to accurately measure the fine pitch multi hole. The proposed algorithm gets image of the fine pitch multi hole, extracts object from the image by morphological process, and extracts the parameters of its position and feature by edge detecting process. In addition, we have used the sub-pixel algorithm to improve accuracy. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows 97% test-retest measurement reliability within 2 ${\mu}m$. We found that the algorithm was wellsuited for measuring the fine pitch multi hole.

In this study, the physical properties of live garlic at the harvesting season were measured and analyzed as a fundamental study for developing a garlic harvester. A universal testing machine and a machine vision system were used to obtain mechanical and morphological properties of live garlic, respectively. The moisture content of live garlic at the harvesting season was 50% higher than that of dried garlic. The root of live garlic elongated greatly with respect to the applied tensile force. The relationship between the projected area and the weight of a bulb of live garlic was linear. Such a feature would be applied to develop an effective garlic harvester or garlic quality grader. Other useful physical properties of live garlic at the harvesting season were represented in the study.

The austenite phase observed in low carbon HSLA steels is well known to be decomposed to various bainitic microstructures, such as granular bainite, acicular ferrite and bainitic ferrite during continuous cooling process. These bainitic microstructures have been usually identified by using either scanning electron microscope (SEM) or transmission electron microscope (TEM). However, SEM and TEM images do no exactly coincide, because of the quite different sample preparation method in SEM and TEM observations. These conventional analysis method is, thus, not suitable for characterization of the complex bainitic microstructure. In this study, focused ion beam (FIB) technique was applied to make site-specific TEM specimens and to identify the 3-dimensional grain morphologies of the bainitic microstructure. The morphological feature and grain boundary characteristics of each bainitic microstructure were exactly identified.
