In this paper, we propose a novel approach to residual echo suppression (RES) algorithm based on tracking echo-presence uncertainty (TEPU) to improve the performance of acoustic echo suppression (AES) in the frequency domain. In the proposed method, the ratio of the microphone input and the echo-suppressed output signal power is employed as the threshold value for the decision rule to estimate the echo-presence uncertainty applied to the RES filter. The proposed RES scheme estimates the echo presence uncertainty in each frequency bin and effectively reduces residual echo signal in a simple fashion. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the objective test and yields better results compared with the conventional schemes.

This article examines the Challenge through Annulment of ICSID Arbitral Awards. Either party may request annulment of the award by applying in writing addressed to the ICSID Secretary-General on one or more of the grounds under Article 52 of the ICSID Convention. The annulment proceedings must focus on the award itself. Because committees have no inherent supremacy over the arbitral tribunal, they should not review the tribunal's findings on evidence, damage, interest, and cost findings. Otherwise, the parties would have, in effect, two opportunities, and that will almost certainly weaken the reliability of the entire ICSID system. In short, because of the limited scope of review under ICSID annulment and because annulment is not an opportunity for the parties to re-try the case, committees should not allow new arguments or new evidence. Since an annulment committee is not a court of appeals, it cannot create a new res judicata. Committees can only decide not to annul an award, thus confirming the existing res judicata or annul the award, in which case the affected decision ceases to be res judicata. An obvious annulment decision stipulating which particular findings of the award remain res judicata should prevent any uncertainty in resubmission proceedings.

Breast cancer screening makes extensive utilization of mammography. Even so, there has been a lot of debate with regards to this application's starting age as well as screening interval. The deep learning technique of transfer learning is employed for transferring the knowledge learnt from the source tasks to the target tasks. For the resolution of real-world problems, deep neural networks have demonstrated superior performance in comparison with the standard machine learning algorithms. The architecture of the deep neural networks has to be defined by taking into account the problem domain knowledge. Normally, this technique will consume a lot of time as well as computational resources. This work evaluated the efficacy of the deep learning neural network like Visual Geometry Group Network (VGG Net) Residual Network (Res Net), as well as inception network for classifying the mammograms. This work proposed optimization of ResNet with Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm's in order to predict breast cancers by means of mammogram images. The proposed TLBO-ResNet, an optimized ResNet with faster convergence ability when compared with other evolutionary methods for mammogram classification.

시설 원예작물의 겨울철 온도환경 관리에 대한 연구는 난방비 절약을 위한 저온관리 한계온도 구명(Tanaka 등, 1986), 또는 근권부 온도 조절에 의한 작물의 생산성 증진 연구와 같은 실용적 측면의 연구가 많이 수행된 바 있다(Fujie와 Saidou, 1983). 그러나 시설의 온풍기 고장 또는 정전 등으로 작물이 생육한계 온도이하의 저온상태에서 장시간 경과 되었을 때 나타나는 여러가지의 생리적인 장해나 피해에 대한 연구는 매우 적은 실정이다(Reyes와 Jennings, 1994). (중략)

A modified direct bonding technique employing a wet chemical deposition of $SiO_2$ film on a wafer surface to be bonded is proposed for the fabrication of Si-$SiO_2$-Si structures. Structural and electrical quality of the bonded wafers is studied. Satisfied insulating properties of interfacial $SiO_2$ layers are demonstrated. Elastic strain caused by surface morphology is investigated. The diminution of strain in the grooved structures is semi-quantitatively interpreted by a model considering the virtual defects distributed over the interfacial region.

Joining thin aluminum alloy is difficult using most welding techniques. Many of the problems are associated with bum-through by the high heat input. Common welding techniques are TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG (Metal Inert Gas), and PULSE-MIG welding. The method provides more control of the heat balance in the welding arc by taking advantage of the different arc characteristics obtained with each of the two polarities. In this paper, we proposed a new welding method by control DSP 320C32, and the characteristic and experiment result-voltage, current, welding bead, and penetrations by this method are presented.

Deep learning approach based on convolution neural network (CNN) has extensively studied in the field of computer vision. However, periocular feature extraction using CNN was not well studied because it is practically impossible to collect large volume of biometric data. This study uses the ResNet model which was trained with the ImageNet dataset. To overcome the problem of insufficient training data, we focused on the training of multi-layer perception (MLP) having simple structure rather than training the CNN having complex structure. It first extracts features using the pretrained ResNet model and reduces the feature dimension by principle component analysis (PCA), then trains a MLP classifier. Experimental results with the public periocular dataset UBIPr show that the proposed method is effective in person authentication using periocular region. Especially it has the advantage which can be directly applied for other biometric traits.

This study was to get the optimum conditions on bleaching by mixing of various colored ledgers with white ledger by 50：50 ratio. This bleaching was carried out by two steps, reductive-oxidative process was shown a better brightness compared to oxidative-reductive one. Especially, in reductive bleaching using sodium hydrosulfite, the aging temperature should keep above 6$0^{\circ}C$ irrespective of aging time, alkaline condition was more effective than acid one. Final brightness after bleaching and feinting was obtained over 78% to be used by the raw pulp of tissue.
