In medical image processing field, object recognition is usually processed based on region segmentation algorithm. Region segmentation in the computing field is carried out by computerized processing of various input information such as brightness, shape, and pattern analysis. If the information mentioned does not make sense, however, many limitations could occur with region segmentation during computer processing. Therefore, this paper suggests effective region segmentation method based on R2-map information within the magnetic resonance (MR) theory. In this study, the experiment had been conducted using images including the liver region and by setting up feature points of R2-map as seed points for 2D region growing and final boundary correction to enable region segmentation even when the border line was not clear. As a result, an average area difference of 7.5%, which was higher than the accuracy of conventional exist region segmentation algorithm, was obtained.

Owing to the advancement of Internet and smart devices, access to various media such as social media became easy; thus, a large amount of big data is being produced. Particularly, the companies that provide various Internet services are analyzing the big data by using the MapReduce-based big data analysis techniques to investigate the customer preferences and patterns and strengthen the security. However, with MapReduce, when the big data is analyzed by defining the number of reducer objects generated in the reduce stage as one, the processing rate of big data analysis decreases. Therefore, in this paper, a MapReduce-based split big data analysis method is proposed to improve the log analysis processing rate. The proposed method separates the reducer partitioning stage and the analysis result combining stage and improves the big data processing rate by decreasing the bottleneck phenomenon by generating the number of reducer objects dynamically.

In this paper, we propose a query processing approach that uses the Spark functional programming and distributed memory system to solve the computational overhead of SPARQL. In the semantic web, RDF ontology data is produced at large scale, and the main challenge for the semantic web is to query and manipulate such a large ontology with a high throughput. The most existing studies on SPARQL have focused on deploying the Hadoop MapReduce framework, and although approaches based on Hadoop MapReduce have shown promising results, they achieve a low level of throughput due to the underlying distributed file processes. Therefore, in order to speed up the query processes, we suggest query- processing methods that are based on memory caching in distributed memory system. Our approach is also integrated with a clause unification method for propagating between the clauses that exploits Spark join, map and filter methods along with caching. In our experiments, we have achieved a high level of performance relative to other approaches. In particular, our performance was nearly similar to that of Sempala, which has been considered to be the fastest query processing system.

Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP), the cause of Johne's disease in animals, may be a causative agent of Crohn's disease (CD) in humans, but the evidence supporting this claim is controversial. Milk, meat, and water could be potential sources of MAP transmission to humans. Thus, if the link between MAP and Crohn's disease is substantiated, the fact that MAP has been detected in retail foods could be a public health concern. The purpose of the present study was to review the link between MAP and CD, the prevalence of MAP in foods, heat inactivation, control of MAP during food processing, and detection methods for MAP. Although MAP positive rates in retail milk in nine countries ranged from 0 to 2.9% by the culture method and from 4.5 to 15.5% by PCR, high temperature short time pasteurization can effectively control MAP. The effectiveness of pasteurization to inactivate MAP depends on the initial concentration of the MAP in raw milk. Development of highly sensitive and specific rapid detection methods for MAP may enhance investigation into the relationship between MAP and CD, the prevention of the spread of MAP, and problem-solving related to food safety. Collaboration and efforts by government agencies, the dairy industry, farmers, veterinarians, and scientists will be required to reduce and prevent MAP in food.

Most of the edge detection methods available in literature are gradient based, which further apply thresholding, to find the final edge map in an image. In this paper, we propose a novel method that is based on fuzzy logic for edge detection in gray images without using the gradient and thresholding. Fuzzy logic is a mathematical logic that attempts to solve problems by assigning values to an imprecise spectrum of data in order to arrive at the most accurate conclusion possible. Here, the fuzzy logic is used to conclude whether a pixel is an edge pixel or not. The proposed technique begins by fuzzifying the gray values of a pixel into two fuzzy variables, namely the black and the white. Fuzzy rules are defined to find the edge pixels in the fuzzified image. The resultant edge map may contain some extraneous edges, which are further removed from the edge map by separately examining the intermediate intensity range pixels. Finally, the edge map is improved by finding some left out edge pixels by defining a new membership function for the pixels that have their entire 8-neighbourhood pixels classified as white. We have compared our proposed method with some of the existing standard edge detector operators that are available in the literature on image processing. The quantitative analysis of the proposed method is given in terms of entropy value.

본 논문에서는 SSD 저장장치를 포함하는 하둡의 Iterative Processing에 대한 성능 분석 결과를 소개한다. 하둡은 맵 리듀스 병렬 프로그래밍 모델을 통해 Batch Processing에 특화된 구조를 가지고 있는 프레임 워크이다. 이는 병렬/분산 환경에서 큰 성능향상을 보장하지만, 반복 작업을 수행하는 Iterative Processing에 대하여는 성능이 낮아지는 문제가 존재하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 점차 낮아지는 가격으로 인해 하둡시스템에 적용 가능성이 타진되는 SSD를 통해 반복 작업의 성능이슈를 해결할 수 있는지 확인하고, SSD를 통한 성능향상의 요소가 존재하는지 알아보고자 실험을 진행하였다. 실험에서는 Batch Processing인 word count와 Iterative Processing인 Page Rank 알고리즘을 MapReduce로 구현하고 데이터 크기에 따른 성능 향상도를 측정하였고, SSD 추가와 같은 하드웨어적인 성능을 통한 하둡의 반복 작업은 큰 효율을 기대하기가 어렵다는 결론을 보였다.

Most of GIS services have been operated in single applications, and as data processing and computer and mobile technologies have developed rapidly, users request for efficient sharing between each GIS's own data and various different GIS's. However, since many GIS applications maintain their own data formats, they are incapable of processing data formats different with each other, and do not have a filtering function for mobile GIS. This paper designs an integrated preprocessor, SMP to accept features of various current formats of geographic information such as DXF(Drawing eXchange Format), DWG(DraWinG), SHP(SHaPefile), etc., and to extract core information for describing maps. The geographic information extracted by SMP(Synthetic Map Preprocessor) shows consistency in various formats by visualizing through the integrated view. By generating the extracted core data in GML, it supports rapid access to mobile devices and extensibility of file formats overcoming heterogeneity.

High Temperature deformation behavior of newly developed beta-gamma TiAl alloy was investigated in this study. The optimum processing condition was investigated with the aid of Dynamic Materials Model (DMM). Processing maps representing the efficiency of power dissipation for microstructural evolution and instability were constructed utilizing the results of hot compression test at temperatures ranging from $1000^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ and strain rate ranging from $10^{-4}/s$ to $10^2/s$. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) simulation was adopted to consider the deformation heating. With the help of processing map and microstructural analysis, the optimum processing condition was presented and the role of $\beta$ phase was also discussed in this study.
