Color enhancement basically deals with color manipulation in digital images. Recently, the technique has become widely used as a result of the increasing use of digital cameras. Retinex-based colorenhancement algorithms are a popular technique. In this paper, retinex with bilateral filtering is proposed to improve the quality of poorly illuminated images. Generally, it consists of three main steps: first, a retinex-based algorithm with color restoration; second, transformation mapping using histogram matching; and finally, smoothing the image using a bilateral filter. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can successfully enhance image contrast while avoiding the halo effect and maintaining the color distribution in the image.

In this paper, we propose chain code based decision technique of edge orientation. Edge Information is one of the most important information for handling image signals, and is applied to various civilian and military area, such as image surveillance for military reconnaissance, restoration of noised image signal, fingerprint recognition, and so on. The conventional methods to find edge orientations exploit a certain size of mask which weights for a certain direction, so they showed limitations in the case of diagonal edges except 45 degrees. We find edge orientations using chain code. According to the experiments, the proposed method shows better performance than the conventional approaches. The exact edge orientations including diagonal directions are well found.

Although the use of apodization functions in connection with postprocessing of a 2D NMR spectrum proves improved spectral quality, there is usually a trade-off between resolution enhancement and noise suppression due to a classical "uncertainty principle." In this study, therefore, a mathematical deconvolution technique called "Maximum Likelihood Deconvolution (MLD)" was adopted to achieve the spectral resolution and sensitivity enhancement simultaneously. The MLD technique greatly facilitates visualization and restoration of the genuine spectral information from complex 2D NMR spectra that would be problematic with the conventional apodization/FT processing. In particular, application of the MLD to the 2D-NOE spectrum would be very useful to derive the important proton connectivities, which are essential to achieve elucidating the 3D molecular structure.

Data storage and data communication currently pose a major problems for all parties involved with power quality and power system monitoring. The Problem aries from the tremendous amount of data involved. There is a common desire in the power industry to find new techniques for high-accuracy data compression and data storage. This paper introduces a data compression technique that is very suitable for application to power quality waveforms. The proposed technique is applied in splitting the monitored signal into two components. Those are stationary and nonstationary components. Each component is compressed and encoded.

The restoration of extensive zygomatic complex defects is a surgical challenge owing to the difficulty of accurately restoring the normal anatomy, symmetry, proper facial projection and facial width. In the present study, an extensive post-traumatic zygomatic bone defect was reconstructed using a custom-made implant that was made with a selective laser melting (SLM) technique. The computer-designed implant had the proper geometry and fit perfectly into the defect without requiring any intraoperative adjustments. A one-year follow-up revealed a stable outcome with no complications.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal sealing ability of "Silar". Using freshly extracted human teeth and 2% acquous methylene blue, the marginal leakage of dye in restorative materials such as Silar, Silar with acid etching technique, Hi-Pol, Hi-Pol Enamel Bond system, Adaptic and Amalgam were investigated at $37^{\circ}C$ and under temperature cycling in range of $4^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. The results as follows; 1. All filling materials showed some degree of marginal penetration by 2% methylene blue dye. 2. Silar with acid etching technique revealed effective marginal sealing ability, but under temperature cycling it showed increased marginal leakage. 3. All composite resins showed greater marginal leakage than amalgam restoration. 4. Silar had the most effective marginal sealing ability in experimented composite resins.

Fabricating a crown to retrofit an existing abutment tooth for a partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) is one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive clinical procedures. In particular, when the patient is concerned with esthetic aspects of restoration, the task of fabricating becomes more daunting. Many techniques for the fabrication of all-metallic or metal-ceramic crowns have been discussed in the literature. This article was aimed to describe a simple fabrication method in which a retrofitting crown was fabricated for a precise fit using a ceramic-pressed-to-metal system.

Due to high esthetic demands from patients, we are driven to fabricate natural-looking(form and color) restorations. In the past decade, the glass-ceramic in dentistry has been used as a material with variable crystals that affects the appearance, characteristics, and mechanical properties of metal-free fixed restoration. The conventional IPS Empress glass-ceramic is a heat-pressed, leucite reinforced material using the "lost wax" principle. This glass-ceramic has been successfully used for esthetic restorations such as all-ceramic crowns, inlays/onlays, and veneers for about 15 years. This article presents that the form and surface texture of clinical crown are duplicated by IPS-Empress system using "lost-wax technique".

The vibratory or phonating surface of the human vocal folds is a complex layered structure. Benign vocal fold lesions arise primarily within the lamina propria of the vocal folds and produce dysphonia by disrupting the normal layered architecture of the phonating surface. Therefore, treatment is aimed at excision of the lesion with restoration of the normal layered architecture. The core principle of the Microflap approach is that conservative removal of submucosal pathology with preservation of overlying normal epithelium and superficial lamina propria. Microflap approach is an essential component of most phnomicrosurgical procedures and is a challenging surgical task that requires patience, appropriate instrumentation, surgical skill, and experience. The authors reviewed surgical principles of Microflap technique, instrumentation and surgical tips that could be useful for the beginners who tried to try Microflap technique for the treatment of benign vocal fold mucosal lesions.
