This research evaluates cooperation in transboundary rivers with special reference to the Great Mekong Subregion (GMS) program in the Mekong River Basin. The benefit sharing approach has been deployed as a theoretical framework to analyze the extent to which the riparian states have achieved cooperation. The river basin governance led by the Mekong River Commission since 1995 has not adequately performed due to non-participation of upstream countries and the lack of law enforcement mechanism. Since the late 1980s, China has undertaken hydropower development unilaterally, thereby triggering discomfort from the Lower Mekong countries. The GMS program has led China to strengthening economic ties with the downstream countries through hydropower development as investors and developers. The program has also supported the establishment of economic corridors, and removal of physical barriers and has paved the way for cooperation in other sectors, such as the environment, agriculture, tourism and energy. There are challenges for further cooperation, including the development gaps between China and the downstream countries, political tensions and environment impacts of hydropower dams in the river basin. The Mekong River Basin shows the possibility of cooperation through benefit sharing. Sharing benefits accrued from the river and beyond the river between China and the downstream countries have enhanced economic ties, thereby consolidating cooperation each another.

This paper proposes and examines the economic impact of infrastructure improvement on the San-En-Nanshin region in the Chubu area of Japan. We develop a single transportation computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for each subregion within the San-En-Nanshin region. The explicit modeling of the transportation infrastructure is defined based on interregional commuting flows and business trips, considering the spatial structure of the San-En-Nanshin economy. A CGE model is integrated with an interregional transportation network model to enhance the framework's potential for understanding the infrastructure's role in regional development. To evaluate the economic impact of transportation improvement, we analyze the interrelationship between travel time savings and regional output and income. The economic impact analysis under the CGE framework reveals how transportation facilities and systems affect firm and household behavior and therefore induce changes in the production and consumption of commodities and transportation services. The proposed theoretical model was tested by using data from the 2005 IO tables of each subregion and the 2006 transport flow dataset issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism in Japan. As a result, the paper confirms the positive effect of transportation investment on the total output and income of the studied region. Specifically, we found that while economic benefits typically appear in urban areas, rural areas can still potentially benefit from transportation improvement projects.

With the enactment of international free trade and economic agreements and cooperation, BIMP-EAGA is an opportunity to accelerate development and economic growth in eastern Indonesia. This subregional cooperation could be used to reduce the development gap or inequality between the western and eastern regions, which are geographically, demographically, and economically different. This cooperation also may accelerate development in the border area. This study analyzes Indonesia's policies related to connectivity in BIMP-EAGA subregional cooperation and its implementation. The study results show that the National Secretariat of Sub-Regional Economic Cooperation has encouraged cooperation clusters ranging from natural resources, transportation, infrastructure, ICT, and tourism to MSMEs. In terms of connectivity, Indonesia is also involved in the development program of three economic corridors, namely West Borneo, East Borneo, and Sulu-Sulawesi. Indonesia's involvement in the three corridors has boosted the connectivity of Indonesia's territory, especially border areas, with neighboring countries. Connectivity has covered not only physical but also institutional and people-to-people dimensions. However, there are still several challenges, ranging from the standardization of the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) mechanisms, improvement of institutional quality, and consistent strong political will among the involved parties. In addition, considering the vulnerability of the BIMP subregion to transnational crimes and acts of radical terrorism, BIMP-EAGA needs to think about solutions to overcome these cross-border security problems so that the momentum of development in the subregion may be sustained.

Routing paths are mightily important for the network security in WSNs. To maintain such routing paths, sustained path re-selection and path management are needed. Region segmentation based path selection method (RSPSM) provides a path selection method that a sensor network is divided into several subregions, so that the regional path selection and path management are available. Therefore, RSPSM can reduce energy consumption when the path re-selection process is executed. However, it is hard to guarantee optimized secure routing path at all times since the information using the path re-selection process is limited in scope. In this paper, we propose partial path selection method in each subregion using preselected partial paths made by RSPSM for routing path optimization in SEF based sensor networks. In the proposed method, the base station collects the information of the all partial paths from every subregion and then, evaluates all the candidates that can be the optimized routing path for each node using a evaluation function. After the evaluation process is done, the result is sent to each super DN using the global routing path information (GPI) message. Thus, each super DN provides the optimized secure routing paths using the GPI. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method via the simulation results. We expect that our method can be useful for the improvement of RSPSM.

본 논문에서는 연속된 프레임에서 특징점을 추출하고 특징점의 유사도를 Hough 공간에 누적하여 정확한 이동을 찾아내는 기법을 제시한다. 특징점은 예지의 시작점, 끝점, 분기점과 굴곡점을 사용한다. 정합을 위하여 특징점 주위의 평균 밝기, 굴곡점의 굴곡각을 이용하며, 물체 주위에 물체보다 특징이 강한 배경에 민감하지 않게 동작하기 위하여 Hough 공간상의 극대값들에 대하여, 분할 영역의 평균과 표준 편차를 비교함으로써 정확한 이동 경로를 산출한다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 실제 영상에 적응한 경우 배경의 특징이 매우 강한 경우 Hough 공간의 최대값을 찾는 기법이 해결할 수 없는 부분도 정확히 추적하는 결과를 보인다.

The notions of spherically concave functions defined on a subregion of the Riemann sphere P are introduced in different ways in Kim & Minda [The hyperbolic metric and spherically convex regions. J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 41 (2001), 297-314] and Kim & Sugawa [Charaterizations of hyperbolically convex regions. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 309 (2005), 37-51]. We show continuity of the concave function defined in the latter and show that the two notions of the concavity are equivalent for a function of class $C^2$. Moreover, we find more characterizations for spherically concave functions.

The main difficulty in estimating the fundamental matrix stems from the unavoidable outliers inherent in the given correspondence matches. Several researches showed that the estimation results are much dependent on selecting the corresponding points. These represent that it is important to solve the problems due to errors on the point locations and mismatches. In this paper, our analysis shows that if the evenly distributed corresponding points are selected, we can estimate a more precise fundamental matrix. This paper presents novel approaches to estimate the fundamental matrix by considering the inlier distributions. In order to select evenly distributed points, we divide the entire image into the subregions, and then examine the number of the inliers in each subregion and the area of each region. The simulation results showed that our consideration of the inlier distribution can provide a more precise estimation of the fundamental matrix.

This study was conducted with male/female teenagers to examine the interaction between their attachment to social media and their self-identity in both real space and cyberspace. Among the subjects, male teenagers tended to use social media more than female teenagers. Also, the more friends/followers they have, the more they would use the service itself. In the subordinate correlation of the subjects' self-identity in both cyberspace and real space, most areas showed positive correlation. And each subregion of the areas of real-space ego-identity and social media addiction showed positive correlation with them as well. On the other hand, in areas of social media addiction and cyberspace ego-identity, all areas showed negative correlation except the area of dominance. Through this experiment, it was proven apparent that there needs to be proper management of teenagers that are overusing and are addicted to social media, and that programs should be developed to mediate the subjects in regards to each subregion of real space and cyberspace ego-identity.

A novel and simple method, which can be used to automatically regenerate 3D finite element meshes, is presented in the paper. This technique based on the structural deformation analysis. It is problem independent and can be used to renew the mesh of any kind of 3D shape design system whether the geometric surface is parameterized or not. The mesh deformation degree can be adjusted by choosing suitable subregion and giving proper parameters. It is sufficient to obtain a smooth contour with proper mesh quality. Application to the optimum design of shielding plate shows the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
