This paper presents a spatial-level nonparametric multi-focus image fusion technique based on kernel estimates of input image blocks' underlying class-conditional probability density functions. Image fusion is approached as a classification task whose posterior class probabilities, P($wi{\mid}Bikl$), are calculated with likelihood density functions that are estimated from the training patterns. For each of the C input images Ii, the proposed method defines i classes wi and forms the fused image Z(k,l) from a decision map represented by a set of $P{\times}Q$ blocks Bikl whose features maximize the discriminant function based on the Bayesian decision principle. Performance of the proposed technique is evaluated in terms of RMSE and Mutual Information (MI) as the output quality measures. The width of the kernel functions, ${\sigma}$, were made to vary, and different kernels and block sizes were applied in performance evaluation. The proposed scheme is tested with C=2 and C=3 input images and results exhibited good performance.

The standard power system model is needed to test a transmission line protective relay There are two methods to develop a power system model for transmission line protection. First method is based on characteristic power system model, and second method is based on functional power system model. This paper presents a standard power system model for performance test of transmission line protective relay, where the power system model is based on the two methods. And this model is simulated by using RTDS to test a protective relay.

A sensitive, selective and rapid method has been developed for the determination of mercury based on the rapid reaction of mercury(II) with p-sulfobenzylidenethiorhodanine (SBDTR) and the solid phase extraction of the colored chelate with $C_{18}$ disks. In the presence of pH 3.5 sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer solution and Emulsifier-OP medium, SBDTR reacts with mercury(II) to form a red chelate of a molar ratio 1 : 2 (mercury to SBDTR). This chelate was prconcentrated by solid phase extraction with $C_{18}$ disks. An enrichment factor of 50 was achieved. The molar absorptivity of the chelate is $1.28{\times}10^5 L{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ at 545 nm in measured solution. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0.01-3 ${\mu}$g/mL. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicates sample of 0.01 ${\mu}$g/mL is 1.65%. This method was applied to the determination of mercury in tobacco and tobacco additive with good results.

This study investigated the antioxidant activity and general and sensory properties of soybean curd supplemented with Codium fragile. The yield of soybean curd containing 0%, 20%, and 40% C. fragile was 113.62, 104.09, and 108.06, respectively. Antioxidant activities and pH were significantly increased (P<0.05) depending on the amount of C. fragile supplemented in soybean curd. Compared to that in additive-free soybean curd (control), the amount of crude ash and protein in soybean curd containing 40% C. fragile was significantly decreased (P<0.05) and increased (P<0.05), respectively. We observed a dose-dependent increase (P<0.05) in the hardness and chewiness of soybean curd concomitant with the amount of C. fragile supplemented. In contrast, we observed no significant difference (P>0.05) in soybean curd's cohesiveness between the groups. As determined by sensory evaluation based on seven-point hedonic scale, soybean curd supplemented with 20% C. fragile received an excellent score (6.55) for color. As the same method, we observed that the flavor and overall acceptability significantly increased (P<0.05) in the C. fragile content increased. Taken together, the antioxidant and sensory assays in our study make a compelling case for the practical development of soybean curd supplemented with C. fragile owing to its good antioxidant activities, general properties, and consumer acceptance.

We proposed a novel method to evaluate the magnetic properties of the initial layer and the columnar structure separately for CoCr-based perpendicular recording media. We show that the thickness of the initial layer and the intrinsic magnetocrystalline anisotropy of columnar structure can be quantitatively evaluated using the plotted product of perpendicular anisotropy to magnetic film thickness versus magnetic film thickness ($K_{u{\bot}}^{ex{p.}}$ $\times$ d$_{mag.}$ vs. d$_{mag.}$ plot). Based on the analyses, it is found that: (1) compared with CoCrPtTa media, CoCrPtB media have relatively thin initial layer, and have fine grains with homogeneous columnar structure with c-plane crystallographic orientation; (2) CoCrPtB media can be grown epitaxially on Ru or CoCr/C intermediate layer, and as the result, the magnetic properties of the media within thin thickness region of d$_{mag.}$ $\leq$ 20 nm is significantly improved; (3) the key issue of material investigation for CoCr-based perpendicular recording media will be focused on how to fabricate c-plane-oriented columnar grains well isolated with nonmagnetic substance in epitaxial-growth media, while maintaining the thermal stability of the media.

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of the footing shape and the effect of the roughness of the foundation base on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on rock masses. For this purpose the finite difference method was used to analyze the bearing capacity of various types and states of rock masses under the assumption of Hoek-Brown failure criterion, for both plane strain and axisymmetric model, and considering smooth and rough interface. The results were analyzed based on a sensitivity study of four varying parameters: foundation width, rock material constant (mo), uniaxial compressive strength and geological strength index. Knowing how each parameter influences the bearing capacity depending on the footing shape (circular vs strip footing) and the footing base interface roughness (smooth vs rough), two correlation factors were developed to estimate the percentage increase of the ultimate bearing capacity as a function of the footing shape and the roughness of the footing base interface.

In this study, we propose the design of optimized pRBFNNs-based night vision face recognition system using PCA algorithm. It is difficalt to obtain images using CCD camera due to low brightness under surround condition without lighting. The quality of the images distorted by low illuminance is improved by using night vision camera and histogram equalization. Ada-Boost algorithm also is used for the detection of face image between face and non-face image area. The dimension of the obtained image data is reduced to low dimension using PCA method. Also we introduce the pRBFNNs as recognition module. The proposed pRBFNNs consists of three functional modules such as the condition part, the conclusion part, and the inference part. In the condition part of fuzzy rules, input space is partitioned by using Fuzzy C-Means clustering. In the conclusion part of rules, the connection weights of pRBFNNs is represented as three kinds of polynomials such as linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic. The essential design parameters of the networks are optimized by means of Differential Evolution.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) or P3HT based organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array was fabricated on flexible poly carbonate substrates and the electrical characteristics were investigated. As the gate dielectric, a dual layer structure of polyimide-$SiO_2$ was used to improve the roughness of $SiO_2$ surface and further enhancing the device performance and also source-drain electrodes were $O_2$ plasma treated for improvement of the electrical properties, such as drain current and field effect mobility. For the active layer, polymer semiconductor, P3HT layer was printed by contact-printing and spin-coating method. The electrical properties of OTFT devices printed by both methods were evaluated for the comparison. Based on the experiments, P3HT-based OTFT array with field effect mobility of 0.02~0.025 $cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$ and current modulation (or $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio) of $10^{3}\sim10^{4}$ was fabricated.

The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and the 5.85 rRNA gene, have been determined for 13 strains of dinoflagellates in order to analyze the phylo-genetic relationship. The DNA sequences contained considerable variation in the ITS regions, but little in the 5.85 rDNA. In addition, the ITS1 was more variable than the ITS2 in all species examined. The nucleotide length of this region varied from 519 bp to 596 bp depending on the taxa. The investigated taxa were divided into three large groups based on the ITS length, i. e., a group with short ITS region (A. fraterculus and Alexandrium sp.), a with ITS region group (P. micans, P. minimum and P. triestinum) and a with ITS region group (G. impudicum, C. polykrikoides, G. sanguineum, G. catenatum and H. triquetra). The relationship between nucleotide length of ITS1 and that of ITS2 was negative, whereas G+C content and nucleotide length showed positive correlation. In phylogenetic analyses producing NJ trees, the topology was similar cluster and clearly divided the taxa into three groups based on 5.8S rDNA that were similar to those based on morphological characteristics. In particular, G. impudicum was more closely related to G. catenatum than to C. polykrikoides using phylogenetic analysis. From this study, we chew that the length of ITS region contributes to discriminate Korean harmful algal species and ITS analysis is a useful method for resolving the systematic relationships of dinoflagellates.

In this paper proposes a stable marriage algorithm. The proposed algorithm firstly constructs an $n{\times}n$ matrix of men's and women's sum preference over opposite sex $p_{ij}$. It then repeatedly deletes row or column corresponding to the then maximum dispreference sum $_{max}p_{ij}$ until ${\forall}(|r_i|=1{\cap}|c_j|=1)$. If $|r_i|=1$ or $|c_j|=1$ then we select the $p_{ij}$ of $|r_i|=1$ or $|c_j|=1$ then the row or column values are deleted repeatedly until ${\forall}(|r_i|=1{\cap}|c_j|=1)$. When tested on 7 stable marriage problems, the proposed algorithm has proved to improve on the existing solutions.
