The two hundreds and twenty two pork carcasses from commercial breed were tested to compare technical quality characteristics and relationships with meat quality parameters between PSE and normal pork classified buy 24hr postmortem conductivity($C_u$). In characteristics of PSE and normal pork by $C_u$ value, highly significant differences were found in NPPC color scale and CIE L*(p＜0.001), moderately significant differences in $C_3$ and cooking loss(p＜0.01), and significant differences were in $C_6$, CIE b*, WHC and juiciness(p＜0.05). In correlation coefficients between $C_u$ and other meat quality determining factors, $C_u$ was poorly related with $pH_1$($R^2$=0.28, p<0.001), CIE a*($R^2$=0.14, p＜0.05), b*($R^2$=0.28, p＜0.01) and cooking loss($R^2$=0.26, p＜0.01). Also, relatively low correlation coefficients were observed in $pH_u$($R^2$=0.32, p＜0.001), WHC($R^2$=0.39, p＜0.001) and juiciness($R^2$=0.41, p＜0.001). Moderately high coefficients were found in NPPC color scale($R^2$=0.59, p＜0.001) and CIE L*($R^2$=0.58, p＜0.001).

The resonance structure of the preionization spectrum of $H_2$ in the region immediately above its ionization threshold, ($^2{\sum}_{g}^{+}$, $\nu^+=0$, $N^+=0$) converging toward its rotationally excited ($\nu^+=0$, $N^+=2$) limit, is complicated due to perturbation by the vibrationally excited levels $7_{p\pi}\;v=1$ and $57_{p\pi}\;v=2$. The spectra of interlopers are separated from the rotationally preionizing Rydberg series to allow analysis of this complex resonance structure. Although only two vibrationally excited levels perturb the rotational preionization spectrum, at least 6 interloper Rydberg series participate in the complex spectrum over most of its energy range and more interloper series participate at a narrow range around $124500cm^{-1}$ in the spectrum. To allow handling of an arbitrary number of interloper series, MATLAB$^{(R)}$'s symbolic operation is used to perform on-the-fly formulation.

A new ISFET array chip, based on detection of the threshold voltages of ISFETs by using an adjustable input, was designed. The chip includes 240 pH-ISFETs and circuitry such as comparators, a decoder and register. The chip has increased reliability, improved accuracy, digital output capability and the possibility of multi sensor implementation. To fabricate the chip, an extended CMOS process was devised and implemented.

A differential current-to-time interval converter is presented for current mode sensors. It consists of a ramp voltage generator, a current mode sensor, a reference current source, two current-tunable Schmitt triggers, a one-shot multivibrator, and two logic gates. The design principle is to apply a ramp voltage to each input of the two current-tunable Schmitt triggers whose threshold voltages are proportional to the drain current values of the current mode sensors. A proposed circuit converts a current change in the ISFET biosensor into its equivalent pulse width change. A prototype circuit built using TSMC 0.18 nm CMOS process exhibit a conversion sensitivity amounting to $726.9{\mu}s/pH$ over pH variation range of 2-12 and a linearity error less than ${\pm}0.05%$.

In this work, we demonstrate 800V 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs with several structural alterations to observe static DC characteristics, such as a threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$) and a figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$). To optimize the static DC characteristics, we consider four design parameters; (a) the doping concentration ($N_{CSL}$) of current spreading layer (CSL) beneath the p-base region, (b) the thickness of p-base ($t_{BASE}$), (c) the doping concentration ($N_J$) and width ($W_J$) of a JFET region, (d) the doping concentration ($N_{EPI}$) and thickness ($t_{EPI}$) of epi-layer. Design parameters are optimized using 2D numerical simulations and the 4H-SiC DMOSFET structure results in high figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$>~$340MW/cm^2$) for a power MOSFET in $V_B{\sim}1200V$ range.

The purpose of the paper is to enable a format transcoding between a heterogeneous compression format in a real time, and to enhance the compression ratio using characteristics of the compressed frame. In this paper, for the heterogeneous format transcoding, we tried to transcode from MPEG2 having a lower compression ratio to H.263 having a higher compression ratio. After analyzing MPEG 2 bit stream and H.263 bit stream of the same original video, we found that the number of intra coded macro blocks in MPEG 2 data is much higher than the number of the intra coded macro blocks in H.263 data. In the process of P frame generation, a intra coded macro block is generated when a motion estimation value representing the similarity between the previous frame and current frame does not meet a threshold. Especially the intra coded macro block has a great impact on the compression ratio. Hence the paper, we tried to minimize the number of intra coded macro blocks in H.263 data stream which is transcoded from MPEG 2 in a compressed domain. For the purpose, we propose a guided search method for transcoding the INTRA coded block into INTER coded block using the information about motion vectors surrounding the intra macro block in order to minimize the complexity of the motion estimation process. The experimental results show that the transcoding of MPEG 2 into H.263 can be done in a real time successfully.

A series of classical G109 type concrete specimens was exposed to cyclic wet and dry ponding with 15 w/o NaCl solution for approximately five years. Mix design variables included 1) three cement alkalinities (EqA of 0.97, 0.52, and 0.36) and 2) three water-cement ratios (0.50, 0.41, and 0.37). To determine the corrosion initiation time, corrosion potential and macro-cell current between top and bottom bars were monitored. Subsequent to corrosion initiation, specimens were autopsied and visually inspected. Concrete powder samples were collected from top rebar trace and chloride concentration was measured. Also, time-to-corrosion, $T_i$, for specimens of the individual mix designs was represented using Weibull analysis. Time-to-corrosion was a distributed parameter; and because of this, corrosion initiation of four identical specimens for each mix varied, often over a relatively wide range. Specimens fabricated using the lowest water cement ratio and the highest alkalinity cement exhibited the longest time-to-corrosion initiation and the highest chloride threshold levels. Time-to-corrosion did not increase monotonically with cement alkalinity, however, presumably as a consequence of relatively high $Cl^-$ binding in the lower pore water pH range. The chloride threshold level, $Cl_{th}$, increased with increasing $T_i$ and, consequently, was greatest for the highest cement alkalinity specimens.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the P-wave detection capacity using wavelet transform. The first procedure is to remove baseline drift using the median filter. The second procedure is to cancel ECG's QRS-T complex with ECG's QRS-T complex templete to get P-wave candidate. Before we cancelled out the QRS-T complex, we estimated the best matching between templete and QRS-T complex to minimize the error. Then, Harr wavelet was used to eleminate the high frequency noise of ECG wave form cancelled the QRS-T complex. Finally, P-wave was discriminated and confirmed by threshold value. By using this method, We can got the around 95.1% P-wave detection.

In this work, $Fe_3O_4$ (magnetite), conductive filler was prepared from $FeCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O,\;(CH_2)_6N_4$ (hexamethylene tetramine), and $NaNO_2$, followed by mixing with crystallizable chloroprene rubber(CR). The influence of conductive filler content on the properties of the conductive composite was studied and temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity (${\sigma}$) was also investigated. It is found that the percolation threshold concept holds true for the conductive particle-filled composite where ${\sigma}$ indicates a nearly sharp increase when the fraction of magnetite in the mixture exceeds 27%. The temperature dependence of ${\sigma}$ is thermally activated blelow or at the $P_c$. Magnetite acts as reinforcement and conductive filler for CR rubber. Moreover, it is shown that the composite with magnetite of 50 phr gives the most significant mechanical properties for tensile strength and elongation at break, which is due to the formation of optimum physical interlock and crosslinking. The results of 100%, 200%, and 300% moduli suggest that the moduli are related with reinforcement effect of magnetite and viscosity of the blend.
