  • Marine fish skin peptides (FSP) have been widely studied due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. We aimed to use a natural antioxidant, FSP, to replacing synthetic preservatives in a pork patty model, which is safer for human body. Moreover, nano-liposome technology can be applied for masking the fishy smell and improving the stability of this peptide. Therefore, in this study, the effects of FSP and FSP-loaded liposomes (FSPL) on pork patty were evaluated through the tests of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color, cooking loss, texture, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and the pH value, during 14 d of refrigerated ($4^{\circ}C$) storage. The results showed that all FSP-treated patties had lower TBARS values than control patties, which indicated an inhibitory effect of FSP on lipid oxidation. This effect in the patties depended on the FSP concentration. However, FSPL-treated patties showed significantly higher and undesirable TBARS values compared to the control, and this effect depended on the FSPL concentration. None of the physicochemical results showed remarkable changes except the pH and VBN values. Therefore, this study provides evidence that FSP has great potential to inhibit the lipid oxidation of pork patties and is capable of maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life. However, it is necessary to study the application of FSP treatments greater than 3% to improve the antioxidant effect on pork patties and search for other coating materials and technology to reduce the drawbacks of FSP.

  • This paper proposes a method that automatically extracts characteristics of cracks such as length, thickness and direction, etc., from a concrete surface image with image processing techniques. This paper, first, uses the closing morphologic operation to adjust the effect of light extending over the whole concrete surface image. After applying the high-pass filtering operation to sharpen boundaries of cracks, we classify intensity values of the image into 8 groups and remove intensity values belong to the highest frequency group among them for the removal of background. Then, we binarize the preprocessed image. The auxiliary lines used to measure cracks of concrete surface are removed from the binarized image with position information extracted by the histogram operation. Then, cracks broken by the removal of background are extended to reconstruct an original crack with the $5{\times}5$ masking operation. We remove unnecessary information by applying three types of noise removal operations successively and extracts areas of cracks from the binarized image. At last, the opening morphologic operation is applied to compensate extracted cracks and characteristics of cracks are measured on the compensated ones. Experiments using real images of concrete surface showed that the proposed method extracts cracks well and precisely measures characteristics of cracks.

  • The introduction of the sound based on the soundscape concept has the effect to offer comfortable sound environments at the public spaces by masking undesired ones and to identify the spaces. Sound installation, sound sculptor and the soundscape are used for these purpose, but the most important factors to be considered therein are to determine what kind of sounds to offer and how to adjust them to the changing circumstances. But, installing, maintaining and adjusting the soundscape system directly in the field will ensue numerous problems as well as high costs. And, even if it was epochal and novel when the soundscape is first installed at a space, new different sound environment is necessary to continue the effectiveness as time goes. Thus, this study aims at devising the instrument system that has the artificial intelligence, enables to remote control, with a great ease, numerous variables, reproduce most agreeable sound sources, and can produce the proper sound fit to the space automatically and spontaneously.

  • 본 논문에서는 영상복원 분야에서 사용되는 POCS 이론과 인간시각시스템의 특성을 이용하여 비가시성과 견고성을 동시에 가진 새로운 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 POCS 이론을 기반으로 하여 공간영역과 변환영역에서의 필수 특성을 갖는 워터마크를 생성한다. 즉 공간영역에서는 영상에서 시각적으로 쉽게 인지되지 않는 에지 또는 강한 무늬영역에 삽입되고, 또한 변환영역에서는 영상압축, 필터링 등의 다양한 공격에 강인한 주파수대에 삽입되는 워터마크를 생성한다. 그리고 생성된 워터마크를 입력영상에 삽입할 때 분류된 블록의 특성에 따라 무늬 마스킹 효과를 고려하여 서로 다른 가중치를 적용함으로써 비가시성과 함께 견고성을 함께 증대시킨다. 모의실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 워터마킹 기법이 영상 압축, 저역 및 고역통과 필터링 등의 다양한 공격에 대해 기존 방법들에 비해 매우 우수한 워터마크 검출 특성을 나타내었다

  • The current paper proposes a wavelet-based digital watermarking algorithm using statistical characteristic of image and human visual system (HVS). The original image is decomposed into 4-level using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), then the watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of the image. In general, the baseband of a wavelet-decomposed image includes most of the energy of the original image, thereby having a crucial effect on the image quality. As such, to retain invisibility, the proposed algorithm does not utilize the baseband. Plus, the wavelet coefficients on the lowest level are also excluded in the watermark-embedding step, because these coefficients call be easily eliminated and modified by lossy compression and common signal processing. As such, the PSCs are selected from all subbands, except for the baseband and subbands on the lowest level. Finally, using the selected PSCs, the watermark is then embedded based on spatial masking of the wavelet coefficients so as to provide invisibility and robustness. Computer simulation results confirmed that the proposed watermarking algorithm was more invisible and robust than conventional algorithms.

  • A three-dimensional(3D) Monte Carlo simulator for boron ion implantation into <100>single-crystal silicon considering the mask structure has been developed to predict the mask-dependent impurity doping profiles of the implanted boron at low energies into the reduced area according to the trend of a reduction in the size of semiconductor devices. All relevant important parameters during ion implantation have been taken into account in this simulator. These are incident energy, tilt and rotation of wafer, orientation of silicon wafer, presence of native silicon dioxide layer, dose, wafer temperature, ion beam divergence, masking thickness, and size and structure of open window in the mask. The one-dimensional(1D) results obtained by using the 3D simulator have been compared with the SIMS experiments to demonstrate its capabilities and confirem its reliability, and we obtained relatively accurate 1D doping profiles. Through these 3D simulations considering the hole structure and its size, we found the mask effects during boron ion implantation process.
