Dead trees significantly impact forest production and the ecological environment and pose constraints to the sustainable development of forests. A lightweight YOLOv4 dead tree detection algorithm based on unmanned aerial vehicle images is proposed to address current limitations in dead tree detection that rely mainly on inefficient, unsafe and easy-to-miss manual inspections. An improved logarithmic transformation method was developed in data pre-processing to display tree features in the shadows. For the model structure, the original CSPDarkNet-53 backbone feature extraction network was replaced by MobileNetV3. Some of the standard convolutional blocks in the original extraction network were replaced by depthwise separable convolution blocks. The new ReLU6 activation function replaced the original LeakyReLU activation function to make the network more robust for low-precision computations. The K-means++ clustering method was also integrated to generate anchor boxes that are more suitable for the dataset. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm achieved an accuracy of 97.33%, higher than other methods. The detection speed of the proposed approach is higher than that of YOLOv4, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the detection process.

To our knowledge, this is the first study aiming to optimize the extraction conditions of total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoids contents (TFC) from Argania spinosa leaves using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal conditions obtained were 5% (w/v) solvent-to-solid ratio, 72.33% ethanol concentration, and 10h ours as an extraction time, which resulted in an extract with maximum TPC (131.63 mg GAE/g dw) and TFC (10.66 mg QE/g dw). Under the optimal extraction conditions, the antioxidant activity of the extracts of leaves of argan tree showed a moderate antiradical capacity of DPPH (IC₅₀ = 0,130 mg/mL) and ABTS (IC₅₀ = 0.198 mg/mL). However, the leaves of argan tree showed a very interesting reducing power of Iron (IC₅₀ = 0.448 mg/ml) which is similar to that of the ascorbic acid (IC₅₀ = 0.371 mg/mL).

본 논문에서는 단백질 간 상호작용 자동 추출을 위해서 기존에 연구되어 높은 성능을 나타낸 구문 트리 커널을 확장한 시맨틱 구문 트리 커널을 제안한다. 기존 구문 트리 커널의 문제점은 구문 트리의 단말 노드를 구성하는 개별 어휘에 대한 단순 외형적 비교로 인해, 실제 의미적으로는 유사한 두 구문 트리의 커널 값이 상대적으로 낮아지는 현상이며 결국 상호작용 자동 추출의 전체 성능에 악영향을 줄 수 있다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 두 구문 트리의 구문적 유사도(syntactic similarity)와 어휘 의미적 유사도(lexical semantic similarity)를 동시에 효과적으로 계산하여 이를 결합하는 새로운 커널을 고안하였다. 어휘 의미적 유사도 계산을 위해서 문맥 및 워드넷 기반의 어휘 중의성 해소 시스템과 이 시스템의 출력으로 도출되는 어휘 개념(WordNet synset)의 추상화를 통한 기존 커널의 확장을 시도하였다. 실험에서는 단백질 간 상호작용 추출(PPII, PPIC) 성능의 심층적 최적화를 위해서 기존의 SVM에서 지원되던 정규화 매개변수 외에 구문 트리 커널의 소멸인자와 시맨틱 구문 트리 커널의 어휘 추상화 인자를 새롭게 도입하였다. 이를 통해 구문 트리 커널을 적용함에 있어서 소멸인자 역할의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었고, 시맨틱 구문 트리 커널이 기존 시스템의 성능향상에 도움을 줄 수 있음을 실험적으로 보여주었다. 특히 단백질 간 상호작용식별 문제보다도 비교적 난이도가 높은 상호작용 분류에 더욱 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Facial expressions provide significant clues about one's emotional state; however, it always has been a great challenge for machine to recognize facial expressions effectively and reliably. In this paper, we report a method of feature-based adaptive motion energy analysis for recognizing facial expression. Our method optimizes the information gain heuristics of ID3 tree and introduces new approaches on (1) facial feature representation, (2) facial feature extraction, and (3) facial feature classification. We use minimal reasonable facial features, suggested by the information gain heuristics of ID3 tree, to represent the geometric face model. For the feature extraction, our method proceeds as follows. Features are first detected and then carefully "selected." Feature "selection" is finding the features with high variability for differentiating features with high variability from the ones with low variability, to effectively estimate the feature's motion pattern. For each facial feature, motion analysis is performed adaptively. That is, each facial feature's motion pattern (from the neutral face to the expressed face) is estimated based on its variability. After the feature extraction is done, the facial expression is classified using the ID3 tree (which is built from the 1728 possible facial expressions) and the test images from the JAFFE database. The proposed method excels and overcomes the problems aroused by previous methods. First of all, it is simple but effective. Our method effectively and reliably estimates the expressive facial features by differentiating features with high variability from the ones with low variability. Second, it is fast by avoiding complicated or time-consuming computations. Rather, it exploits few selected expressive features' motion energy values (acquired from intensity-based threshold). Lastly, our method gives reliable recognition rates with overall recognition rate of 77%. The effectiveness of the proposed method will be demonstrated from the experimental results.

This paper addresses a task of opinion extraction from given documents and its positive/negative classification. We propose a sentence classification method using a notion of syntactic piece. Syntactic piece is a minimum unit of structure, and is used as an alternative processing unit of n-gram and whole tree structure. We compute its semantic orientation, and classify opinion sentences into positive or negative. We have conducted an experiment on more than 5000 opinion sentences of multiple domains, and have proven that our approach attains high performance at 91% precision.

본 연구에서는 견과류로부터 식품 분석에 사용될 DNA를 4가지 방법으로 추출하고 그 효율을 비교하였다. 동일한 양의 시료를 사용하여 추출된 DNA의 양은 CTAB법이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었지만, 추출 시간이 수배이상 오래 걸리고 유기용매를 사용한다는 한계점이 있다. 다른 방법들과 DNA 추출 양의 차이가 큰 잣, 캐슈너트, 피스타치오 너트, 땅콩의 시료는 CTAB법이 가장 효율적인 방법으로 판단되며, 호두, 헤이즐넛, 아몬드의 시료는 변형 CTAB법과 실리카 막법이 CTAB법을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추출된 DNA를 식물 내재유전자 및 각 견과류에 특이적인 유전자를 사용하여 PCR을 진행하였으며, 모든 추출 방법에서 DNA가 정상적으로 증폭되는 것을 확인하였다.

Drone imaging, which is more cost-effective and controllable compared to airborne LiDAR, requires a low-cost camera and is used for capturing color images. From the overlapped color images, we produced two high-resolution digital surface models over different test areas. After segmentation, we performed tree identification according to the method proposed by , and computed the tree height and the canopy crown size. Compared with the field measurements, the computed results for the tree height in test area 1 (coniferous trees) were found to be accurate, while the results in test area 2 (deciduous coniferous trees) were found to be underestimated. The RMSE of the tree height was 0.84 m, and the width of the canopy crown was 1.51 m in test area 1. Further, the RMSE of the tree height was 2.45 m, and the width of the canopy crown was 1.53 m in test area 2. The experiment results validated the use of drone images for the extraction of a tree structure.

Medical imaging is one of the most powerful tools for gaining information about internal organs and tissues. It is a challenging task to develop sophisticated image analysis methods in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The objective of this paper is to develop a Computer Aided Diagnostics (CAD) scheme for Brain Tumour detection from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) using active contour models and to investigate with several approaches for improving CAD performances. The problem in clinical medicine is the automatic detection of brain Tumours with maximum accuracy and in less time. This work involves the following steps: i) Segmentation performed by Fuzzy Clustering with Level Set Method (FCMLSM) and performance is compared with snake models based on Balloon force and Gradient Vector Force (GVF), Distance Regularized Level Set Method (DRLSE). ii) Feature extraction done by Shape and Texture based features. iii) Brain Tumour detection performed by various tree classifiers. Based on investigation FCMLSM is well suited segmentation method and Random Forest is the most optimum classifier for this problem. This method gives accuracy of 97% and with minimum classification error. The time taken to detect Tumour is approximately 2 mins for an examination (30 slices).

Chemical structure and electrical properties such as water treeing and space charge accumulation of various raw materials(XLPE) used for power cable insulation were investigated. It was found that chemical structure was changed after crosslinking reaction and every materials have different amounts of DCP and antioxidant. Electrical properties were also changed after extraction using $CHCl_3$ and xylene. Water tree length was smaller with additives such as DCP and antioxidant and bigger with low molecular weight components of polyethylene than that of extracted samples. Heterocharge was changed into homocharge after extraction. This shows that additives and low molecular weight components of polyethylene cause the heterocharge.
