We obtain a solution of optical parametric amplification using self-phase modulation within the Kerr media in a nonlinear interferometer with two arms. We show that it is equivalent to the solution driven by four-wave mixing and that the solution of parametric amplification is suitable to generate a parametric gain. We obtain a derivative of power gain with respect to the propagation distance and show that gain-saturation can occur as the beam propagates along the nonlinear arms. We also show a bandwidth characteristic of the parametric amplification driven by nondegenerate four-wave mixing. Numerical examples are given to illustrate that the solution of the parametric amplification can be applied to design and analysis of all-optical devices such as all-optical amplifiers.

Assuming that the performance of holographic storage media is ideal, we estimate the area storage density of disk-type holographic memories, when the method of either angle multiplexing, or rotational multiplexing, or both are used. The area storage density is strongly dependent on the f numbers (ratio of focal length to diameter) of both the Fourier transform lens in the signal arm, denoted by $F/#_2$, and the angle range over which the reference beam is incident (or, the equivalent f number corresponding to the angle range denoted by $F/#_1$). The area storage density is largely independent of the pixel pitch of the spatial light modulator when the Fourier plane holograms are recorded, while it is sensitive to the pixel pitch when the image plane holograms are recorded. In general, to obtain high area storage density, the Fourier or at least near Fourier plane holograms rather than the image plane holograms should be recorded. In addition, when the thickness of the recording materials are less than approximately $500\mu\extrm{m}$, rotational multiplexing gives higher area storage densities than angle multiplexing does. To increase the storage density further, however, it is desirable to use both of the two multiplexing methods in combination.nation.

The color reproduction of digital still camera does not, in general, match those of the final prints. Because color gamut of these devices is different, it is therefore necessary to take account of a way to match. The way uses the optimized profile to print an image. This paper proposed a way to create the input profile of digital still camera for standardization printing process. The results of proposed way showed that for input profiles equivalent, good results relatively. In this paper, an experiment was done where the illumination sources used as the standard illumination 5200K and illuminated at a $45^{\circ}$ angle in the best illumination efficiently. The white balance was in mode 'custom': aperture F11, exposure time 1/60s, ISO50, focal length 80mm. The images were exported and saved as 16bit RGB tiff(AdobeRGB, sRGB, ProphotoRGB) images. To do the test, the RGB values of the RGB tiff images are processed through the ICC input profile to arrive at processed $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ values. A profiling tool such as ProfileMaker 5.0 and Monacoprofile 4.8 are used to do this. The processed CIEL*a*b* values are compared to the reference CIEL*a*b* values and these two values are used to calculate a ${\Delta}E$.

One of the most effective ways to improve cache performance is to exploit both temporal and spatial locality given by any program executional characteristics. This paper proposes a data cache with small space for low power but high performance on multimedia applications. The basic architecture is a split-cache consisting of a direct-mapped cache with small block sire and a fully-associative buffer with large block size. To overcome the disadvantage of small cache space, two mechanisms are enhanced by considering operational behaviors of multimedia applications: an adaptive multi-block prefetching to initiate various fetch sizes and an efficient block filtering to remove rarely reused data. The simulations on MediaBench show that the proposed 5KB-cache can provide equivalent performance and reduce energy consumption up to 40% as compared with 16KB 4-way set associative cache.

MODFLOW, 3-D finite difference code, is widely used to model groundwater flow and has been used to assess the effect of excavations on the groundwater system due to construction of subways and mountain tunnels. The results of numerical analysis depend on boundary conditions, initial conditions, conceptual models and hydrogeological properties. Therefore, its accuracy can only be enhanced using more realistic and field oriented input parameters. In this study, SA(simulated annealing) was used to integrate hydraulic conductivities from a few of injection tests with geophysical reference images. The realizations of hydraulic conductivity random field are obtained and then groundwater flows in each geostatistically equivalent media are analyzed with a numerical simulation. This approach can give probabilistic results of groundwater flow modeling considering the uncertainty of hydrogeological medium. In other words, this approach makes it possible to quantify the propagation of uncertainty of hydraulic conductivities into groundwater flow.

This investigation was performed to determine the hydraulic conductivity coefficient and water holding capacity for a specified compaction forces which are the amount of mechanical energy applied to the porous granule (PG) volume. Most current specifications of minerals and perlite as growth media require to be compacted to a specified density, which in general is equivalent to a certain percentage of laboratory compaction. The water holding capacity of the saturated PG was very large at potential above -1 bar compared with perlite, but very little water remained below this value. The water holding capacity and hydraulic conductivity characteristics of graded PG amended with the ground coir less than 2 mm in diameter were also determined from pressure outflow data. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the saturated and compacted PG was slightly lower by more than one tenth order of magnitude at equal matric potentials of perlite, but when expressed on the basis of equal water deficits, the conductivity of PG was higher at all but the smallest deficits than those of perlite.

Previously, we have reported a plant extract isolated from Lysimachia foenum gracum Herba as a new environment friendly biopesticide that has the mycelial growth inhibition effect on Magnaporthe oryzae, the pathogenic fungus of the rice blast disease. For the finding of additional biopesticide candidate, we tested the mycelial growth inhibitory effects about 700 species of plant extracts on PDA media. Among them, the extract of Anemarrhena asphodeloides showed prominent inhibitory effect of which $IC_{50}$ was $139.7{\mu}g/ml$. Mycelial radii of M. oryzae were measured on PDA medium containing the four organic solvent fractions isolated from total extract from A. asphodeloides. Ethyl acetate fraction showed the impressive inhibitory effect of $IC_{50}$, $54.12{\mu}g/ml$. In the subsequent rice field test for the total extract of A. asphodeloides, we obtained encouraging 62.0% control rate of rice blast disease without any phytotoxicity. It is almost equivalent to that of chemical pesticides implying the applicability of the extract as a new biopesticide. In further study, the analysis of active ingredients of the extract would be necessary for the development of a new biopesticide and for the verification of cellular mechanism by which the mycelial growth of M. oryzae inhibited.

In this study, a new method of audio high-band coding based on autoencoder with side information is proposed. The proposed method operates in the MDCT domain, and improves the performance by using additional side information consisting of the previous and current low bands, which is different from the conventional autoencoder that only inputs information to be encoded. Moreover, the side information in a time-frequency domain enables the high-band coder to utilize temporal characteristics of the signal. In the proposed method, the encoder transmits a 4-dimensional latent vector computed by the autoencoder and a gain variable using 12 bits for each frame. The decoder reconstructs the high band by applying the decoded low bands in the previous and current frames and the transmitted information to the autoencoder. Subjective evaluation confirms that the proposed method provides equivalent performance to the SBR at approximately half the bit rate of the SBR.

A very large number of pixels is required to generate a computer generated hologram (CGH) with a large-size and wide viewing angle equivalent to that of an analog hologram, which incurs a very large amount of computation. For this reason, a high-performance computing device and long computation time were required to generate high-definition CGH. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a technique for generating high-definition CGH by arraying the pre-calculated low-definition CGH and multiplying the appropriately-shifted concave lens function. Using the proposed technique, 0.1 Gigapixel CGH recorded by the point cloud method can be used to calculate 2.5 Gigapixels CGH at a very high speed, and the recorded hologram image was successfully reconstructed through the experiment.

Dose calculation algorithms play an important role in radiation therapy and are even the basis for optimizing treatment plans, an important feature in the development of complex treatment technologies such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy. We reviewed the past and current status of dose calculation algorithms used in the treatment planning system for radiation therapy. The radiation-calculating dose calculation algorithm can be broadly classified into three main groups based on the mechanisms used: (1) factor-based, (2) model-based, and (3) principle-based. Factor-based algorithms are a type of empirical dose calculation that interpolates or extrapolates the dose in some basic measurements. Model-based algorithms, represented by the pencil beam convolution, analytical anisotropic, and collapse cone convolution algorithms, use a simplified physical process by using a convolution equation that convolutes the primary photon energy fluence with a kernel. Model-based algorithms allowing side scattering when beams are transmitted to the heterogeneous media provide more precise dose calculation results than correction-based algorithms. Principle-based algorithms, represented by Monte Carlo dose calculations, simulate all real physical processes involving beam particles during transportation; therefore, dose calculations are accurate but time consuming. For approximately 70 years, through the development of dose calculation algorithms and computing technology, the accuracy of dose calculation seems close to our clinical needs. Next-generation dose calculation algorithms are expected to include biologically equivalent doses or biologically effective doses, and doctors expect to be able to use them to improve the quality of treatment in the near future.
