World-Wide Web(WWW) is a protocol for changing information exchanges which is central to text documents in the existing network to make a multimedia data exchanges. It is possible for a beginner to search and access data which he wants to find as data were stored in the form of hypertext. The easiness for searching and accessing the multimedia data in WWW makes a important role for obscene materials to be toward generalization and multimedia and occurs social problems for them to be commercialized, while other researchers have actively studied the way to block effectively the site providing obscene materials for solving such problems. This paper presents and implements the blocking method for the sites having obscene material as it effectively search them. The proposed model was based on Link-Based information retrieval method and proved that it accomplished more efficient retrieval of relevant documents than probabilistic model when compared the one with the other which is known to generate the most correct results. The improvements in the average recall and precision ratio were shown as 12% and 8% respectively. Especially, the retrieval capability of relevant documents which include non-text data and have a few links increased highly.

In this paper, we introduce a novel method to extend the JPEG standard, which is the most widely used for lossy image compression, in order to improve compression ratio. To employ two of the most successful methodologies for the data compression: differential coding and quantization simultaneously, we propose a line-based approach. For each line in a block, we apply one-dimensional discrete cosine transformation to the increments instead of the pixel values. Those values are quantized and entropy-coded similarly to the JPEG standard. To further increase compression ratio, the proposed method is plugged into the JPEG standard to form a new compression method, in which the proposed method are applied to only selected JPEG blocks. In our experiment, we found that the proposed method outperform the JPEG standard when the qualities of the coded images are set to be high. We believe the proposed method can be simply plugged into the standard to improve its compression ratio for higher quality images.

The general problems of recovering 3D for 2D imagery require the depth information for each picture element form focus. The manual creation of those 3D models is consuming time and cost expensive. The goal in this paper is to simplify the depth estimation algorithm that extracts the depth information of every region from monocular image sequence with camera translation to implement 3D video in realtime. The paper is based on the property that the motion of every point within image which taken from camera translation depends on the depth information. Full-search motion estimation based on block matching algorithm is exploited at first step and ten, motion vectors are compensated for the effect by camera rotation and zooming. We have introduced the algorithm that estimates motion of object by analysis of monocular motion picture and also calculates the averages of frame depth and relative depth of region to the average depth. Simulation results show that the depth of region belongs to a near object or a distant object is in accord with relative depth that human visual system recognizes.

A new High level hardware Description Language, ASPHODEL(Algorithm Synthesis Pascal Hardware for Optimal Design and Efficient Language), and its algorithm compiler for high level synthesis are described in this paper. The new HDL, appropriated to the description of algorithmic level and lower, models VLSI circuits as an abstracted block which is consisted of input/output ports and hierachical processors to control VLSI complexities with efficiency. Also, in order to improve the descriptive power, popular Pascal programming language is modified to build ASPHODEL syntax rules. ASPHODEL algorithm compiler generates an intermediate form through lexical and syntax analysis from ASPHODEL source codes. To show the validation of presented language and its compiler, those are applied to practical design examples.

The vessel of integral reactor contains its major primary components such as the fuel and core, pumps, steam generators, and a pressurizer, so its size is proportional to the required space for the installation of each component. The steam generators take up the largest volume of internal space of reactor vessel and their volumes is substantial for the overall size of reactor vessel. Reduction of installation space for steam generators can lead to much smaller reactor vessel with resultant decrease of overall cost for the components and related facilities. A printed circuit heat exchanger is one of the compact types of heat exchangers available as an alternative to conventional shell and tube heat exchangers. Its name is derived from the procedure used to manufacture the flat metal plates that form the core of the heat exchanger, which is done by chemical milling. These plates are then stacked and diffusion bonded, converting the plates into a solid metal block containing precisely engineered fluid flow passages. The overall heat transfer area and pressure drops are evaluated for the steam generator based on the concept of the printed circuit heat exchanger in this study. As the printed circuit heat exchanger is known to have much larger heat transfer area density per unit volume, we can expect significantly reduced steam generator compared to former shell and tube type of steam generator. For the introduction of new steam generator, two design requirements are considered: flow area ratio between primary and secondary flow paths, and secondary side parallel channel flow oscillation. The results show that the overall volume of the steam generator can be significantly reduced with printed circuit type of steam generator.

For the emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, a fast transform unit (TU) decision method is proposed. HEVC defines the TU representing a region sharing the same transformation, and it allows a residual block to be split into multiple TUs recursively to form a quadtree. By using the quadtree of TUs, HEVC supports various transform sizes from $4{\times}4$ to $32{\times}32$. The various sizes of TUs can provide a good coding efficiency, whereas this may increase encoding complexity dramatically. In the assumption that a TU with highly compacted energy is unlikely to be split, the proposed method determines TU sizes according to the position of the last non-zero transform coefficient. In the experimental results, the proposed method reduced 18% encoding run time with the negligible coding loss of 0.7% BD-rate for the Random_access case.

Introduction: Andhra Pradesh (AP) is one of the largest tobacco producing states in India. About 29% of adults in AP currently use tobacco in some form. Almost 24% of males and 4% of females are smokers. The prevalence of tobacco use in the state is higher than the national average of 15% for male and 2% for female smokers. However, few attempts have been made to understand the current situation of tobacco control resources, activities and strategies in the context of such a high tobacco prevalence state. The present study aimed to identify the gaps in existing tobacco control program and areas where tobacco control efforts can be integrated. Methods: Data were collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a total of 95 key officials of state health departments, program managers, and project directors in six districts to understand ongoing tobacco control efforts. To facilitate the interviews, semi-structured guides were developed. Simple descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the quantitative data using SPSS version 17. Results: The results of the situational analysis suggest that a sufficient health workforce and infrastructure with the potential to integrate tobacco control activities is available in the surveyed districts. However, lack of integration of the tobacco control program intothe tuberculosis control program and the National Rural Health Mission was observed. Information, education and communication activities were lacking at block level health facilities. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that lack of trained health professionals, paucity of dedicated funds, lack of information, education and communication materials and low priority given to tobacco control activities are some of the factors which impede integration of tobacco control into existing health and developmental programmes in the districts of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Purpose: The nose is the most prominent skeletal feature of the face and is thus prone to frequent injury. Closed reduction of nasal bone fractures can be performed under general or local anesthesia. However, the benefits and the drawbacks in either form of anesthesia chosen are seldom perceived by the surgeon. A retrospective study was performed to assess the differences in the outcome among the two groups subjected to surgery under different type of anesthesia and to introduce our method of local anesthesia and its adequacy. Methods: Two hundred and fifteen patients during a 2-year period were included in the study. 2% Lidocaine mixed with 1:100,000 epinephrine was injected on the anterior ethmoid nerve and the periosteum. Assessment factors included intra-operative adequacy of analgesia, post-operative analgesic requirement and functional and aesthetic outcome of surgery. Results: 19 patients were manipulated under general anesthesia and 196 patients were manipulated under local anesthesia on the anterior ethmoidal nerve and dorsal periosteum. No statistically signigicant variable in performance of surgery could be attributed to the mode of anesthesia employed(p > 0.05). Four patients experienced complications after reduction. One developed septal deviation and three nasal obstruction. But, no secondary operations were needed. Conclusion: Anterior ethmoidal nerve block and dorsal periosteal injection of 2% Xylocaine, combined with topical intranasal 4% lidocaine and epinephrine provided sufficient analgesia comparable to that of general anesthesia.

In order to investigate the cause and magnitude of scale effect occurring in the model experiments of fishing nets, five pairs of Nylon pyramid nets and one pair of PE ones in which all the two nets paired were equal each other in the factors determining their flow resistance, i. e., the ratio d/l of diameter d to length l of bars, the angle f between two adjacent bars, the attack angle q of nettings to the water flow, and the wall area S of nets, and different in the values of d and l were prepared. Then, the nets were attached to the circular steel frame alternately and their flow resistances with shapes in water were measured on the sea ascribing no turbulent flows by using the tension meter made of a block bearing for the experiment. All the Nylon nets were spreads out easily in water to form a circular cone at relatively low velocity of water and showed the resistance smaller a little in the nets with larger d and l than them with smaller d and l, because the filtration of water through meshes become easier in nets especially with larger l. But PE nettings were not spread out sufficiently on account of their small flexibility and showed higher resistance especially in them with thicker twines. Therefore, the difference in bar length or mesh size and flexibility of nettings between prototype and model nets are regarded to become factors ascribing scale effect. Especially the influence of the difference in mesh size may become large significantly in actual model experiments because the mesh size of model nets is decided at much larger value than that given by scale ratio and so the difference of mesh size between the two nets become much larger than that between nets used in this experiment.
