Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the possibility of utilizing an early litter size trait as an indirect selection trait for longevity and to estimate genetic parameters between sow stayability and litter size at different parities using a linear-threshold model for longevity in Thai Large White (LW) and Landrace (LR) populations. Methods: The data included litter size at first, second, and third parities (NBA1, NBA2, and NBA3) and sow stayability from first to fourth farrowings (STAY14). The data was obtained from 10,794 LR and 9,475 LW sows. Genetic parameters were estimated using the multiple-trait animal model. A linear-threshold model was used in which NBA1, NBA2, and NBA3 were continuous traits, while STAY14 was considered a binary trait. Results: Heritabilities for litter size were low and ranged from 0.01 to 0.06 for both LR and LW breeds. Similarly, heritabilities for stayability were low for both breeds. Genetic associations between litter size and stayability ranged from 0.43 to 0.65 for LR populations and 0.12 to 0.55 for LW populations. The genetic correlation between NBA1 and STAY14 was moderate and in a favorable direction for both LR and LW breeds (0.65 and 0.55, respectively). Conclusion: A linear-threshold model could be utilized to analyze litter size and sow stayability traits. Furthermore, selection for litter size at first parity, which was the genetic trait correlated with longevity, is possible when one attempts to improve lifetime productivity in Thai swine populations.

호 수락제어 기법은 CDMA시스템에서 통화중인 호들의 통화품질을 보장하고 시스템의 용량을 증가시킬 수 있는 중요한 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 다중 종류의 문턱치를 사용한 호 수락제어 기법(MCAC : multiple thresholds CAC)을 제시하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 분석하였다. 이 기법에서는 두 가지 종류의 문턱치를 이용하여 새로운 호의 호 신청 수락여부를 결정한다. 첫 번째 문턱치는 통화중인 사용자의 수이고 두 번째 문턱치는 기지국에서 측정되는 신호-대-간섭비이다. 통화중인 사용자의 수가 시스템에서 새로운 사용자를 받아들일 수 있는 충분한 여유용량이 있다고 판단하는 문턱치보다 적으면 신호-대-간섭비를 측정하지 않고 직접 새로운 호의 호 신청을 수락하고 통화중인 사용자의 수가 시스템에서 통화품질을 만족할 수 없다고 판단하는 문턱치보다 많으면 새로운 호의 호 신청을 거절하도록 한다. 통화중인 사용자의 수가 두 문턱치사이에 위치하면 측정된 신호-대-간섭비에 근거하여 호 수락여부를 결정한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위하여 시스템의 통화품질 저하확률(outage probability)과 호 차단확률(call blocking probability) 및 전 처리확률(pre-processing probability)을 이용하며 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 기존에 제시된 사용자수에 기반한 알고리즘과 신호-대-간섭비에 기반한 알고리즘과 비교하도록 한다. 실험결과는 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 신호-대-간섭비에 기반한 알고리즘의 우수한 성능을 유지하면서 호 수락 처리속도를 높일 수 있음을 보여준다.

Multiple object association is an important capability in visual surveillance system with multiple cameras. In this paper, we introduce locally initiating line-based object association with the parallel projection camera model, which can be applicable to the situation without the common (ground) plane. The parallel projection camera model supports the camera movement (i.e. panning, tilting and zooming) by using the simple table based compensation for non-ideal camera parameters. We propose the threshold distance based homographic line generation algorithm. This takes account of uncertain parameters such as transformation error, height uncertainty of objects and synchronization issue between cameras. Thus, the proposed algorithm associates multiple objects on demand in the surveillance system where the camera movement dynamically changes. We verify the proposed method with actual image frames. Finally, we discuss the strategy to improve the association performance by using the temporal and spatial redundancy.

본 논문에서는 CA-CFAR 알고리듬을 보완한 효율적인 CFAR 알고리듬을 제시한다. 레이더 수신기에 유입되는 신호는 열잡음뿐만 아니라, 클러터 및 다중표적 신호가 존재하며, 시스템 내부에서 발진되는 하모닉 성분도 존재하여 기존에 널리 알려진 CA-CFAR로는 표적 탐지 성능을 보장할 수 없다. 이를 보완하기 위한 OS-CFAR나 ML-CFAR 등이 연구되었지만, 제시하는 CFAR 알고리듬은 OS-CFAR나 ML-CFAR에 비해 적은 계산량으로 레이더 신호처리기에 적용시킬 수 있다. 제시하는 CFAR 알고리듬의 문턱치와 오경보율의 관계식을 유도하고, SNR 관점과 ADT 관점에서 CFAR 손실을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we propose an threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the media characteristics of sub-bottom multi-layers by using the signal generated by a parametric array transducer. We use the KZK model to generate a parametric array signal, and use the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the reflection coefficients of multiple sea bottom layers. Using computer simulation, we verify that the difference frequency component generated by the KZK model prevails over the signals of primary frequencies at long range. For the simulation, we use the transmit signal generated by the KZK and the reflected signal obtained from a lattice filter model for the seawater and sub-bottom of multi-level non-homogeneous layers. Through the simulation, we verify that the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm can give much more accurate and efficient estimates of the reflection coefficients than methods using received signal, matched filter output signal, and normal Schur algorithm output.

Sensor readings always have a certain degree of randomness and fuzziness due to its intrinsic property, other electronic devices in the circuitry, wires and the rapidly changing environment. In an electrical control system, such readings will bring instability in the system and other undesired events especially if the signal hovers around the threshold. This paper proposes a Gaussian-based statistical approach in stabilizing the output through sampling the sensor data and automatic tuning the threshold to the range of multiple standard deviations. It takes advantage of the Central limit theorem and its properties assuming that a large number of sensor data samples will eventually converge to a Gaussian distribution. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in completely stabilizing the outputs over known filtering algorithms like Exponential smoothing and Kalman Filter.

Earlier researches on Sensor Networks preferred symmetric key-based authentication schemes in consideration of limitations in network resources. However, recent advancements in cryptographic algorithms and sensor-node manufacturing techniques have opened suggestion to public key-based solutions such as Merkle tree-based schemes. These previous schemes, however, must perform the authentication process one-by-one in hierarchical manner and thus are not fit to be used as primary authentication methods in sensor networks which require mass of multiple authentications at any given time. This paper proposes a new concept of public key-based authentication that can be effectively applied to sensor networks. This scheme is based on exponential distributed data concept, a derivative from Shamir's (t, n) threshold scheme, in which the authentication of neighbouring nodes are done simultaneously while minimising resources of sensor nodes and providing network scalability. The performance advantages of this scheme on memory usage, communication overload and scalability compared to Merkle tree-based authentication are clearly demonstrated using performance analysis.

In this paper, a novel background prior-based salient object detection framework is proposed to deal with images those are more complicated. We take the superpixels located in four borders into consideration and exploit a mechanism based on image boundary information to remove the foreground noises, which are used to form the background prior. Afterward, an initial foreground prior is obtained by selecting superpixels that are the most dissimilar to the background prior. To determine the regions of foreground and background based on the prior of them, a threshold is needed in this process. According to a fixed threshold, the remaining superpixels are iteratively assigned based on their proximity to the foreground or background prior. As the threshold changes, different foreground priors generate multiple different partitions that are assigned a likelihood of being foreground. Last, all segments are combined into a saliency map based on the idea of similarity voting. Experiments on five benchmark databases demonstrate the proposed method performs well when it compares with the state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Visual features of lip area play an important role in the visual speech information. We are concerned about correct lip area as region of interest (ROI). In this paper, we propose a robust and fast method for locating the mouth corners. Also, we define a region of interest at mouth during speech. A method, which we have used, only uses the horizontal and vertical image operators at mouth area. This searching is performed by fitting the ROI-template to image with illumination control. Most of the lip extraction algorithms are dependent on luminosity of image. We just used the binary image where the variable threshold is applied. The variable threshold varies to illumination condition. In order to control those variations, the gray-tone is converted to binary image by threshold, which is obtained through Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) about divided 2D special region. Thus we obtained the region of interest at mouth area, which is the robust extraction about illumination. A region of interest is automatically extracted.

Diaspora studies has become one of the fastest growing field in the humanities over the past several decades, and the use of term diaspora has been widening to include almost any population on the move. Diaspora literature not only mirrors but actively incorporates this new notion of diaspora with characters "at the threshold" navigating new territories and identities. Querying how diaspora studies intersects with theatre and performance, this paper attempts to probe how recent Korean American drama parallels and promotes diaspora studies' radical departure from traditional notions of identities and territories. For this purpose, this essay 1) examines theoretical affinities between diaspora studies and performance studies 2) investigates how Sung Rno's plays, Cleveland Raining and wAve, explore and embody multiple and evolving meanings of Korean diaspora on the stage 3) examines how theatre can create the third space that transcends both Korean and American nationalism and 4) speculates possibilities of reframing Asian American Studies as Asian diaspora studies. Korean American characters in Rno's play redirect diasporic identities, as their concern gradually moves from "where I come from" to "where I go to." Instead of remaining in the dark as a mere spectator, both Rno and his characters choose to be 'on' the stage where they can imagine, perform, and realize (however temporarily) "unimaginable community" by confronting their own social, political, and cultural ambivalence. Stage, the threshold between reality and fiction, Korea and America, and past and future, becomes their true 'home' where they incubate and precipitate "nation in transformation" that Yan Haiping argues for as "another transnational."
