본 연구에서는 항균활성을 지니는 기능성 생고분자 필름을 제조하기 위한 전 단계로 키토산과 젤라틴을 이용하여 혼합비율별로 키토산/젤라틴 혼합용액의 항균활성을 측정하였다. 사용된 균주는 그램양성(Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579, Listeria monecytogenes ATCC 15313) 및 그램음성(Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enteritidis IFO 3313) 세균 4종류이고, paper diffusion method와 optical density method로 항균효과를 나타내는 키토산/젤라틴 혼합용액의 최적 혼합비율 및 키토산의 최소저해농도를 측정하였다. 또한 키토산의 용매로 사용된 2%(v/v) 초산의 항균효과를 측정하였다. 혼합비율별로 제조된 키토산/젤라틴 혼합용액을 이용하여 paper diffusion method로 paper disc(8 mm)에 $50\;{\mu}L$, $75\;{\mu}L$씩 분주시켜 항균활성을 측정한 결과, 저해환의 크기는 8 mm에서 18.07 mm로 측정되었다. 키토산의 농도가 0%에서 10%(B. cereus, E. coli, E. enteritidis), 20%(L. monocytogenes)까지는 전혀 항균활성을 나타내지 않았지만, 그 농도가 20%(B. cereus, E. coli, S. enteritidis), 30%(L. moncytogenes) 이상으로 높아질수록 항균활성이 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보였다. L. monocytogenes는 키토산의 농도가 30%에서 항균활성을 나타내었지만, 그 저해환의 크기가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 따라서 B. cereus. E. coli 및 S. enteritidis 균주들에 대하여 항균환성을 나타내는 혼합용액의 혼합비율은 chitosan/gelatin=2/8이였고, 그 때 항균활성을 나타내는 키토산의 절대량은 0.3 mg으로 측정되었다. 또한 L. monocytogenes에 대해서는 혼합비율이 chitosan/gelatin=4/6이였고, 항균활성을 나타내는 키토산의 절대량은 0.6 mg이었다. 혼합비율별로 제조된 키토산/젤라틴 혼합용액을 이용하여 항균활성을 나타내는 키토산의 최소저해농도를 optical density method로 측정하였다. 그 결과, B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, E. coli 및 S. enteritidis에 대한 키토산의 최소저해농도는 각각 0.1461 mg/mL, 0.2419 mg/mL, 0.0980 mg/mL 및 0.0490 mg/mL로 측정되었다. 또한 2%(v/v) 초산 자체의 최소저해농도를 측정한 결과, B. cereus, L. mosocytogenes, E. eoli에 대해서는 control과 비교시 유의적인 항균효과는 나타나지 않았다. 반면에 S. enteritidis의 경우는 배양시간 4시간까지는 항균활성을 나타내었지만, 8시간 이후부터는 S. enteritidis의 성장이 control 보다 높아져 배양시간 20시간에서는 control 보다 약 2배 이상 균주의 성장을 촉진시켰다.

The denoising and reconstruction of color images are increasingly studied in the field of computer vision and image processing. Especially, the denoising and reconstruction of color face images are more difficult than those of natural images because of the structural characteristics of human faces as well as the subtleties of color interactions. In this paper, we propose a denoising method based on PCA reconstruction for removing complex color noises on human faces, which is not easy to remove by using vectorial color filters. The proposed method is composed of the following five steps; training of canonical eigenface space using PCA, automatic extracting of face features using active appearance model, relighing of reconstructed color image using bilateral filter, extraction of noise regions using the variance of training data, and reconstruction using partial information of input images (except the noise regions) and blending of the reconstructed image with the original image. Experimental results show that the proposed denosing method efficiently removes complex color noises on input face images.

Polypropylene filaments were spun from a mixture of PP chips of two different Melt Flow Index (MFI) (3 MFI and 35 MFI). A significant difference was observed in the melting characteristics of the resultant filaments from either of the individual components as observed from the DSC. The main difference being in the degree of melting achieved at any temperature in the initial stages of the melting range, which was found to be higher in case of the filaments spun from the b]end. These filaments were then thermally bonded using silicon oil bath and heated roller method. Subsequently the bond strength of the filaments was measured on the Instron Tensile Tester using the loop technique. The values of the world strengths obtained from the blend were compared with those made from the individual component. It was found that the bond strength of the bonds obtained from the blended filament at a given temperature was higher than that of the bonds made from the filaments of either of the individual components, which is also suggested by the DSC curves. The difference in the bond strength was found to be as high as 25% in case of the blend with 60:40 composition ratios of the 3 MFI and 35 MFI components respectively.

This paper proposes a novel video stitching method that improves real-time performance and visual quality of a multi-camera video surveillance system. A two-stage seam searching algorithm based on enhanced dynamic programming is proposed. It can obtain satisfactory result and achieve better real-time performance than traditional seam-searching methods. The experiments show that the computing time is reduced by 66.4% using the proposed algorithm compared with enhanced dynamic programming, while the seam-searching accuracy is maintained. A real-time local update scheme reduces the deformation effect caused by moving objects passing through the seam, and a seam-based local color transfer model is constructed and applied to achieve smooth transition in the overlapped area, and overcome the traditional pixel blending methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved in the experiements.

The construction of panoramic images on smartphones and low-powered devices is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new approach for smoothly stitching images on mobile phones in the presence of moving objects in the scene. Our main contributions include handling moving object problems, reducing processing time, and generating rectangular panoramic images. First, unique and robust feature points are extracted using fast ORB method and a feature matching technique is applied to match the extracted feature points. After obtaining good matched feature points, we employ the non-deterministic RANSAC algorithm to discard wrong matches, and the hommography transformation matrix parameters are estimated with the algorithm. Afterward, we determine precise overlap regions of neighboring images and calculate their absolute differences. Then, thresholding operation and noise removal filtering are applied to create a mask of possible moving object regions. Sequentially, an optimal seam is estimated using dynamic programming algorithm, and a combination of linear blending with the mask information is applied to avoid seam transition and ghosting artifacts. Finally, image-cropping operation is utilized to obtain a rectangular boundary image from the stitched image. Experiments demonstrate that our method is able to produce panoramic images quickly despite the existence of moving objects.

The color stabilization of antimicrobial blends was studied by using poly(hexamethylene guanidine) phosphate (PHMG) as a highly efficient biocidal and nontoxic agent. The Taguchi method was used to determine the optimum conditions for the blending of PHMG in polypropylene (PP) matrix. To improve the yellowing phenomena, two kinds of stabilizer were used together: tetrakis[methylene(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)](IN1010) from phenol and tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenylphosphite) (IF168) from phosphorus. According to blend composition and mixing condition, six factors were chosen, with five levels being set for each factor. The orthogonal array was selected as the most suitable for fabricating the experimental design, L25, with 6 columns and 25 variations. The-smaller-the-better was used as an optimization criterion. The optimum conditions for these parameters were 10 phr for PHMG, 2 phr for IN1010, 1 phr for IF168, 10 min for mixing time, $210^{\circ}C$ for mixing temperature, and 30 rpm for rotation speed. Under these conditions, the yellowness index of the blend was 1.52. The processibility of the blends was investigated by Advanced Rheometric Expansion System (ARES). The blend with 0.5 w% PHMG content, diluted with PP, exhibited an antimicrobial characteristic in the shake flask method.

멀티레벨 잉크젯 프린터는 다양한 도트 크기 및 다른 농도를 가진 잉크를 사용함으로써 뛰어난 색재현과 부드러운 계조를 표현할 수 있다. 이에 멀티토닝 기법에 관한 많은 연구 노력들이 더 나은 영상 화질을 위해 진행되고 있다. 하지만 멀티토닝은 프린터가 출력할 수 있는 레벨에서 일정 구간 같은 잉크가 찍히는 banding artifact가 발생한다. 이는 특히 부드러운 계조 변화 영역에서 불연속성이나 시각적으로 좋지 않은 결과를 낳게 된다. 따라서 이러한 banding artifact를 줄이기 위하여 본 논문에서는 개선된 임계값 배율 조정함수를 이용하여 프린터 출력 레벨에서 이웃 출력 잉크의 혼합 비율을 제어함으로써 잉크 분포를 조절하는 멀티토닝 방법을 제안한다. Banding artifact가 발생하는 영역에서의 잉크 분포는 이웃 출력 잉크의 혼합 시점을 조절하는 임계값 배율 조정 함수의 두 인자에 의해 달라진다. 따라서 8명의 관찰자를 이용하여 여러 가지 인자 값에 대한 프린터 출력 레벨에서의 잉크 분포를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 특정 인자 값을 가진 임계값 배율 조정 함수를 사용함으로써 시각적으로 부드러운 계조 변화를 표현할 수 있었다. 실험에서는 제안한 방법을 칼라와 회색조 ramp 영상에 적용하여 banding artifact 감소와 색재현성에서의 더 나은 성능을 확인하였다.

In this paper, physical properties and electrical characteristics of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) films blended with ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA), containing polar groups within it, were investigated to improve defects of polyethylene(PE) such like space charge accumulation and tree growth. Blending method changes super-structure of LLDPE, having a great influence on electrical characteristics. For analysis of physical properties, FTIR, XRD and DSC methods were executed, and for electrical characteristics, volume resistivity and dielectric strength were measured with the varying temperature. From the results, it is confirmed that bled specimens tend to be safe to varying temperature, and specially of 70:30 and 50:50 have a good performance.

The purpose of this experiment is to prepare ethylene propylene diene terpolymer(EPDM)/ acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) blend which represents good environmental resistant properties including favorable oil and ozone resistance. With incorporation of EPDM, NBR and other ingredients, the rubber and chemical additives were mixed by mechanical method such as Banbury mixer and open 2-roll mill. Then rubber vulcanizates were manufactured by hot press and mechanical properties, oil and ozone resistance of the test specimens were measured. The oil resistance and ozone resistance of EPDM and NBR, respectively, is remarkably improved by blending EPDM with NBR. The optimum results of oil and zone resistant characteristics were obtained at EPDM/NBR(=25/75 wt%) composition ratio.
