For the detection of moving objects, background subtraction methods are widely used. An adaptive Gaussian mixture model combined with probabilistic learning is one of the most popular methods for the real-time update of the complex and dynamic background. However, probabilistic learning approach does not work well in high traffic regions. In this paper, we Propose a reliable learning method of complex and dynamic backgrounds in high traffic regions.

The Vibrio vulnificus vuuA gene, of which expression is repressed by a complex of iron and ferric uptake regulator (Fur), was characterized to localize the Fur-binding site in its upstream regulatory region. In silico analysis suggested the presence of two possible Fur-binding sites; one is a classical Fur-box and the other is a previously reported distinct Fur-binding site. Site-directed mutagenesis and DNase I protection assays revealed the binding site for the iron-Fur complex, which includes an extended inverted repeat containing a homologous sequence to the classical Fur-box.

AC impedance measurements on poly-p-phenylenevinylene (PPV) LEDs in the frequency range between 10 Hz and 10$\^$6/ Hz were carried out. The complex-plane impedance spectra indicate that PPV devices can be represented by equivalent circuits that corresponds to the bulk and interfacial regions at high and low frequencies, respectively. As a result of complex impedance analysis through the separation of bulk and interfacial region impedances, increase of forward bias in Al/PPV/ITO devices gave rise to relative decrease of the interfacial region impedance. Above the electric field of 10$\^$6/ V/cm the PPV device showed a space charge limited current (SCLC) conduction. The dependence of the transport mechanism and dielectric properties on the applied bias voltage is discussed.

During an actual forming operation, a material may undergo considrably large changes in strain path, and these changes can significantly alter the forming limits. So, in this study, modified forming limit curves(FLCs) in complex strain path are determined with specially designed jig to give test specimens with desired prestrains in uniaxial or biaxial deformation mode. In another part of present study, theoretical prediction of FLCs is attempted with MK's theory and Hosford's yield criterion to give forming limit curves in positive minor strain region and with Hill's local necking theory in negative minor strain region. Comparison of these theoretical results with experimental ones will be mentioned for both linear and complex strain path.

The extraction of lip region is essential to Lip Reading, which is a field of image processing to get some meaningful information by the analysis of lip movement from human face image. Many conventional methods to extract lip region are proposed. One is getting the position of lip by using geometric face structure. The other discriminates lip and skin regions by using color information only. The former is more complex than the latter, however it can analyze black and white image also. The latter is very simple compared to the former, however it is very difficult to discriminate lip and skin regions because of close similarity between these two regions. And also, the accuracy is relatively low compared to the former. Conventional analysis of color coordinate systems are mostly based on specific extraction scheme for lip regions rather than coordinate system itself. In this paper, the method for selection of effective color coordinate system and chromaticity transformation to discriminate these two lip and skin region are proposed.

For moving image coding, the variable size of region coding based on local motion is more efficient than fixed size of region coding. It can be applied well to complex motions and is more stable for wide motions because images are segmented according to local motions. In this paper, new image coding method using the segmentation of motion vectors is proposed. First, motion vector field is smoothed by filtering and segmented by smoothed motion vectors. The region growing method is used for decomposition of regions, and merging of regions is decided by motion vector and prediction errors of the region. Edge of regions is excluded because of the correlation of image, and neighbor motion vectors are used evaluation of current block and construction of region. The results of computer simulation show the proposed method is superior than the existing methods in aspect of coding efficiency.

In this paper, we propose recognition system which tracks the unmarked hand of a person performing sign language in complex background. First of all, we measure entropy for the difference image between continuous frames. Using a color information that is similar to a skin color in candidate region which has high value, we extract hand region only from background image. On the extracted hand region, we detect a contour and recognize sign language by applying improved centroidal profile method. In the experimental results for 6 kinds of sing language movement, unlike existing methods, we can stably recognize sign language in complex background and illumination changes without marker. Also, it shows the recognition rate with more than 95% for person and $90\sim100%$ for each movement at 15 frames/second.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between residential district of people, such as power plant, steel-mill and petrochemical industries, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Using a cross-sectional study design, we randomly recruited participants for our study from industrial areas (thermoelectric power plant, steel-mill, petrochemical industry) and rural areas. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationships between Euro quality of life-5 dimension (EQ-5D) scores and living region, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Results In adjusted model, quality of life decreased with increasing category of age and were lower for females than males. EQ-5D scores of people living in the vicinity of thermoelectric power plant were significant lower than those of people living the vicinity of comparison region (odds ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.00 to 2.53). Conclusions Living region of thermoelectric power plant, was strongly associated with scores on the EQ-5D. More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms which makes the relationship with the living regions and HRQoL.

The paper presents a new method for analyzing oscillation regions of transistor oscillators. In transistor feedback oscillators oscillation region appears as a circle in feedback impedance complex plane. When the resistive component of feedback impedance is fixed and the reactive component of feedback impedance is varied or vice versa, the locus of maximum negative output conductance becomes hyperbola. In transistor crystal oscillators oscillation region is determined by two circles which make real part and imaginary part of input impedance zero in load impedance complex plane. When the resistive compoment of load impedance is fixed and the reactive colnponent of load impedance is varied or vice versa, the loci of maximum or minimum resistive component of input impedance become straight lines.

The coupled model (SMART) of dynamic meteorology model and particle dispersion model was developed. The numerical experiment on the relationship between change of land use and diffusion behavior in complex terrain was carried out using this model. It tried to investigate the change of particle diffusion behavior and local weather under the condition in which land-land breeze and sea breeze and mountain breeze intermingled. The numerical experiment results are as follows; 1) The more complicated local circulation field of the interaction of sea breeze, mountain breeze and Land -land breeze is formed. Then, the region circulation in which the urbanization is specific by location of the region is strengthened and is weakened. 2) Though in the region with dominant sea breeze, Land-land breeze does not appear directly, the progress of the sea wind to the inland is affected. 3) In the prediction of the air diffusion, emission high quality and accurate information of the emission site are important. That is to say, the dispersion predicting result which emission high quality and small error of the site perfectly vary for Land - land breeze in the effect may be brought about.
