HCI 분야에서 대표적인 손 제스처 인식은 IT기기의 개발과 더불어 사용자와 기기 간의 상호작용 및 정보교환을 위한 방법으로 주목받고 있다. 영상 처리를 통한 손 제스처 인식에서 손바닥 영역 검출은 처리속도 및 인식률 향상에 기여하는 핵심 처리 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 손바닥 영역 검출(palm area detection)을 위해 손과 손목을 영상 분할(image segmentation) 하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 손의 해부학적 특성으로 가장 넓은 폭이 발생하는 엄지와 소지의 장골 간격을 손 영상의 수평 투사 히스토그램으로 계산 후 이 간격을 지름으로 하는 원을 그려 손바닥 영역을 검출한다. 이 방법의 우수성을 검증하기 위하여 다단 형판정합(multiple stage template matching)을 사용해 10가지 손 제스처에 대해 기존 방법 4가지와 인식 성능을 비교 평가한다. 손 제스처 인식에 관련한 연구가 다양하나 손바닥 영역 검출에 특화된 성능 비교 문헌이 저조함을 강조한다.

Areca palm yellow leaf (AYL) disease caused by the 16SrI group phytoplasma is a serious threat to the development of the Areca palm industry in China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was utilized to establish a rapid and efficient detection system efficient for the 16SrI-B subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The results showed that two sets of LAMP detection primers, 16SrDNA-2 and 16SrDNA-3, were efficient for 16SrI-B subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China, with positive results appearing under reaction conditions of 64℃ for 40 min. The lowest detection limit for the two LAMP detection assays was the same at 200 ag/μl, namely approximately 53 copies/μl of the target fragments. Phytoplasma was detected in all AYL disease samples from Baoting, Tunchang, and Wanning counties in Hainan province using the two sets of LAMP primers 16SrDNA-2 and 16SrDNA-3, whereas no phytoplasma was detected in the negative control. The LAMP method established in this study with comparatively high sensitivity and stability, provides reliable results that could be visually detected, making it suitable for application and research in rapid diagnosis of AYL disease, detection of seedlings with the pathogen and breeding of disease-resistant Areca palm varieties.

Partial discharge (PD) detection plays a major role in the life time assessment of liquid insulation in power transformers. Many research works are being carried out to replace conventional mineral oil insulation in transformers by vegetable oils. It is necessary to understand the PD characteristics of vegetable oils before recommending them as an alternate for mineral oil. In this paper, the breakdown strength and PD characteristics of palm and corn oil were investigated in both unaged and thermally aged conditions. Laboratory experiments were performed as per IEC test procedures. PD signals were measured using wide band detection system. Phase resolved PD pattern of vegetable oils and mineral oil were compared. Effect of increase in voltage stress on the PD pattern of palm and corn oil were studied. Time and frequency domain analysis of PD pulses at needle-plane electrode configuration was carried out. Statistical analysis of PD pattern i.e. skewness and shape parameter variations with respect to applied thermal stress were also carried out. From the results, it is observed that palm and corn oils have better breakdown strength and PD characteristics even under long-term thermal stress and hence they can be used for power transformer applications.

Finite difference analysis were applied to study the principle operation of monopole antenna for moisture determination in oil palm fruit at 2 GHz. The electromagnetic field interact with oil palm fruit on the interface between the antenna and oil palm fruit and cause a reflection. The reflection measurement is based on mismatch impedance or dielectric properties between two media. Reflection coefficient is used to quantify the level of reflection. The monopole antenna was made of RG405/U semi-rigid coaxial cable with an inner and outer diameter of 0.45 mm and 1.50 mm, respectively with 2.23 mm length of protruding conductor over 5.66 cm length of monopole antenna. This monopole antenna for moisture detection was compared with induced EMF method in terms of reflection coefficient at 2 GHz. The results show that the complex reflection coefficient measured using monopole antenna provides significant results to predict moisture content in oil palm fruit.

Continuous supplementation of mineral nutrients and salicylic acid (SA) as foliar application could improve efficacy in controlling basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm seedling. It is revealed from the results that the highest disease severity index (58.3%) was recorded in T8 treatments at 9 months after inoculation. The best disease control was achieved by T7 treatments (calcium/copper/SA [Ca/Cu/SA]) (5.0%) followed by T1 (5.5%), T5 (5.8%), T3 (8.3%), T6 (8.3%), T4 (13.3%), and T2 (15.8%) treatments. Continuous supplementation of Ca/Cu/SA was found to be the most effective in controlling the disease and the high performance liquid chromatography results showed the detection of ergosterol at very low concentration in the treated samples. Moreover, the transmission electron microscopy analysis results clearly indicated that T7 treatment was also enhancing lignification, which was responsible for the thickness of the secondary cell walls and middle lamella compared to untreated samples. It was therefore, concluded that continuous supplementation of minerals nutrients and SA could effectively suppress disease severity by reducing ergosterol activity and also improve the process of lignification in the treated plants. Furthermore, this treatment also managed to delay the onset of BSR symptoms and promote the growth of the seedlings and eventually suppress the BSR disease.

본 실험은 오일팜나무에서 somatic embryo mass(SEM)를 유도한 후 이로부터 식물체 분화를 통한 클론묘 대량증식 시스템을 확립하고, 기내 배양에 의하여 야기된 체세포변이의 확인 방법을 확립하기 위하여 수행되었다. 오일팜 조직배양묘의 정단 부분을 $NaH_2PO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$와 카제인이 첨가된 1/2MS 수정 배지에 배양하여 체세포배성 캘러스를 유도하였다. 유도된 체세포배성 캘러스는 몇 번의 계대배양을 통하여 SEM으로 발달하였다. SEM 조직은 단단하며, 강하게 붙어있어서 개개의 체세포배를 따로 분리하는 것이 매우 어려웠다. SEM 조직을 $NH_4NO_3$, 카제인, L-ascorbic acid가 첨가된 MS 수정 배지에 배양하였을 때 신초가 성공적으로 분화하였다. 기내 오일팜나무를 야외로 순화하여 완전한 오일팜나무 클론묘를 획득할 수 있었다. 기내 배양묘 중 건강하고 생장이 양호한 신초를 무작위로 95 개체를 선발하여 RAPD 분석을 실시하였다. 총 19개의 random primer를 사용하여 95 개체에 대한 RAPD를 수행한 결과, 대부분의 primer에서는 동일한 밴드 형태를 보여 어떠한 변이도 감지할 수 없었다. 그러나, MspI으로 절단된 genomic DNA를 BNR36 primer로 PCR을 수행하였을 때, 개체 간 차이를 보이는 밴드 형태를 나타내어 체세포변이를 감지할 수 있었다. 95 개체 중 #22, #28, #35, #77 의 4 개체에서 약 1kb 부근의 밴드 하나가 없었으며, 그 중 #28, #35, #77의 밴드 강도는 정상 밴드보다 월등히 강한 것을 확인하였다. NCBI 분석 결과, 이 변이 밴드는 오일팜나무의 엽록체 게놈과 관련이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과로부터 오일팜나무의 클론묘 대량증식 시스템을 확립할 수 있었고, RAPD 분석을 통하여 기내 상태에 있는 조직배양묘의 체세포 변이 여부를 판별할 수 있는 방법 확립할 수 있었다.

Most of the existing hand detection methods rely on the contour shape of hand after skin color segmentation. Such contour shape based computations, however, are not only susceptible to noise and other skin color segments but also inherently sequential and difficult to efficiently parallelize. In this paper, we implement and accelerate our in-house distance image based approach using CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. Using emerging CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing technology, we achieved 5.0 times speed-up for $320{\times}240$ images, and 17.5 times for $640{\times}480$ images and our experiment demonstrates that our proposed distance image based hand detection is robust and fast, reaching up to 97.32% palm detection rate, 80.4% of which have more than 3 fingers detected on commodity processors.

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.: Arecaceae) is a dioecious species where only female trees bear fruits. In their natural state, date palms produce dates once a year. However, in Thailand, some trees were observed to produce dates during the off-season, despite no variations in morphology. The availability of such off-season fruits can significantly increase their market value. Interestingly, most female off-season date palms investigated in this study were obtained through micropropagation. Hence, there is an urgent need for genetic markers to distinguish female offseason flowering plantlets within tissue culture systems. In this study, we aimed to develop random amplification of polymorphic DNA-sequence characterized amplified region (RAPD-SCAR) markers for the identification of female off-season flowering date palms cultivated in Thailand. A total of 160 random decamer primers were employed to screen for specific RAPD markers in off-season flowering male and female populations. Out of these, only one primer, OPN-02, generated distinct genomic DNA patterns in female off-season flowering (FOFdp) individuals compared to female seasonal flowering genotypes. Based on the RAPD-specific sequence, specific SCAR primers denoted as FOFdpF and FOFdpR were developed. These SCAR primers amplified a single 517-bp DNA fragment, predominantly found in off-season flowering populations, with an accuracy rate of 60%. These findings underscore the potential of SCAR marker technology for tracking offseason flowering in date palms. Notably, a BLAST analysis revealed a substantial similarity between the SCAR marker sequence and the transcript variant mRNA from Phoenix dactylifera encoding the SET DOMAIN GROUP 40 protein. In Arabidopsis, this protein is involved in the epigenetic regulation of flowering time. The genetic potential of the off-season flowering traits warrants further elucidation.
