The characteristics of Backsulgi were studied by digital image analysis using CrumScan software. Among many other processing parameters for Backsulgi production, sifting method and levels are important factors for product quality. Traditional and mechanical sifting methods showed a reduction in volume and weight due to air intake during the mixing process. Traditional hand sifting for one time resulted in flour saving for an equal volume of Backsulgi. While mechanical sifting has the advantage of efficiency, the particle fineness shows greater variation than achieved by hand sifting. When using mechanical sifting, hand sifting should be used at least once to improve the product quality such as crumb fineness and product, weight.

A novel empirical mode decomposition strategy based on Fourier transform and band-pass filter techniques, contributing to efficient instantaneous vibration analyses, is developed in this study. Two key improvements are proposed. The first is associated with the adoption of a band-pass filter technique for intrinsic mode function sifting. The primary characteristic of decomposed components is that their bandwidths do not overlap in the frequency domain. The second improvement concerns an attempt to design narrowband constraints as the essential requirements for intrinsic mode function to make it physically meaningful. Because all decomposed components are generated with respect to their intrinsic narrow bandwidth and strict sifting from high to low frequencies successively, they are orthogonal to each other and are thus suitable for an instantaneous frequency analysis. The direct Hilbert spectrum is employed to illustrate the instantaneous time-frequency-energy distribution. Commendable agreement between the illustrations of the proposed direct Hilbert spectrum and the traditional Fourier spectrum was observed. This method provides robust identifications of vibration modes embedded in vibration processes, deemed to be an efficient means to obtain valuable instantaneous information.

The optimization problem of BDDs plays an improtant role in the area of logic synthesis and formal verification. Since the variable ordering has great impacts on the size and form of BDD, finding a good variable order is very important problem. In this paper, a new variable ordering scheme called incremental optimization algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm reduces search space more than a half of that of the conventional sifting algorithm, and computing time has been greatly reduced withoug depreciating the performance. Moreover, the incremental optimization algorithm is very simple than other variable reordering algorithms including the sifting algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been implemented and the efficiency has been show using may benchmark circuits.

Deficient modes that cannot be always identified from different sets of measurement data may exist in the application of operational modal analysis such as the stochastic subspace identification techniques in large-scale civil structures. Based on a recent work using the long-term ambient vibration measurements from an instrumented cable-stayed bridge under different wind excitation conditions, a benchmark problem is launched by taking the same bridge as a test bed to further intensify the exploration of mode identifiability. For systematically assessing this benchmark problem, a recently developed SSI algorithm based on an alternative stabilization diagram and a hierarchical sifting process is extended and applied in this research to investigate several sets of known and blind monitoring data. The evaluation of delicately selected cases clearly distinguishes the effect of traffic excitation on the identifiability of the targeted deficient mode from the effect of wind excitation. An additional upper limit for the vertical acceleration amplitude at deck, mainly induced by the passing traffic, is subsequently suggested to supplement the previously determined lower limit for the wind speed. Careful inspection on the shape vector of the deficient mode under different excitation conditions leads to the postulation that this mode is actually induced by the motion of the central tower. The analysis incorporating the tower measurements solidly verifies this postulation by yielding the prevailing components at the tower locations in the extended mode shape vector. Moreover, it is also confirmed that this mode can be stably identified under all the circumstances with the addition of tower measurements. An important lesson learned from this discovery is that the problem of mode identifiability usually comes from the lack of proper measurements at the right locations.

Recent developments in underwater image recognition methods have received large attention by the ocean engineering researchers. In this paper, an improved bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) approach is employed to decompose the given underwater image into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residual. We developed a joint algorithm based on BEMD and Canny operator to extract multi-pixel edge features at multiple scales in IMFs sub-images. So the multiple pixel edge extraction is an advantage of our approach; the other contribution of this method is the realization of the bi-dimensional sifting process, which is realized utilizing regional-based operators to detect local extreme points and constructing radial basis function for curve surface interpolation. The performance of the multi-pixel edge extraction algorithm for processing underwater image is demonstrated in the contrast experiment with both the proposed method and the phase congruency edge detection.

OPKFDD(Ordered Pseudo-Kronecker Functional Decision Diagram)는 각 노드에서 다양한 decomposition을 취할 수 있는 Ordered-DD(Decision Diagram)의 한 종류이다. OBDD(Ordered Binary Decision Diagram)에서 각 노드는 Shannon decomposition 만을 이용하는 반면, OPKFDD는 각 노드마다 Shannon, positive Davio, negative Davio decomposition 중의 하나를 사용하도록 하며 많은 경우 매우 적은 수의 노드로 함수를 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 각 노드마다 각기 다른 확장 방법을 선택할 수 있는 특징 때문에 입력 노드에 대한 확장 방밥과 입력 변수 순서의 결정에 의해서 OPKFDD의 크기가 좌우되며 이에 대한 최적의 해를 구하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 DD 크기를 기준을 노드 수로 하여 기존의 BDD(Binary Decision Diagram) 자료구조에서 OPKFDD를 효율적으로 유도해내는 방법을 제시하고 complex term을 이용하여 이를 최소화하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 그리고 입력변수 순서 결정을 위하여 다출력함수의 경우 함수간의 포함관계를 고려한 그룹-sifting과 각 노드의 확장 방법을 제안하고 실험 결과를 제시한다.

To find the tooth selectivity of the dredge for catching the ark shell Scapharca broughtonii, the probabilities of the ark shells which are not sifting through the gaps between teeth were calculated for the various shell lengths. Considering that these probabilities are in proportion to the relative catching efficiencies, selectivity curves for the ark shell dredge were estimated for the various gaps between teeth. The ratio of the shell length of ark shell to the distance between teeth indicating the relative catching efficiencies of 0%, 50%, 100% respectively, were calculated by using these selectivity curves, and the values were 1.00, 1.32, 1.54 in the distance of 4.0cm between teeth and then, the ratios showed a slight tendency to decrease as the distance between teeth increased in the relative catching efficiency of 100%, In addition, the range of shell length for catching, that is, the range of selective shell length by the distance between teeth was 0.54 in the distance of 4.0cm between teeth.

A new Kirchhoff approximation(KA) method was proposed for microwave scttering from randomly rough surfaces. Using the spectral representation of delta function and its sifting theorem, a new KA was formulated directly without any further approximation, and this formulated was used to compute exact backscttering coefficients. The validity of the KA was verified by a numerical method, and this new KA technique was used to evaluate the existing approximated KkA methods; i.t., the zeroth-order and the first-order approximated physical optics(PO) models. It was shown that the first-order approximated PO model has small error than the zeroth-order approximated PO model at low incidence angles and the opposite happens at higher incidence angles. This new KA model can be used to compute exact scattering coefficients in the validity regions of KA and to evaluate other theoretical and numerical models for scattering from randomly rough surfaces.

In this paper a review of literature on Nuruk(yeast) between 1907 and 1945 was made, which showed that barley, rice bran, oat, rye, and other ingredients were originally used according to region and production quantity. Yeast can be classified into rough (Chokuk) and powder (Bunkuk) types depending on the degree of grinding. Yeast also had seasonal names, being called " Choonkuk", Hakuk", Jeolkuk", and "Dongkuk" in the spring, summer, autumn and wither respectively. The form of yeast in terms of quantity, size, and shape varied greatly by region, Production facilities were composed of plant structures to suit each process, enabling continuous output. The production process included shaping, placement in the fermenting chamber, piling by turns, risk-sifting and final output. Testing procudures were divided into visual inspection, physical testing, and chemical analyses.
