While acquiring images, the relative motion between the imaging device and the object scene seriously damages the image quality. This phenomenon is called motion blur. The peak-trace approach, which is our recent previous work, identifies important parameters to characterize the point spread function (PSF) of the blur, given only the blurred image itself. With the peak-trace approach the direction of the motion blur can be extracted regardless of the noise corruption and does not need much Processing time. In this paper stochastic peak-trace approaches are introduced. The erroneous data can be selected through the ML classification, and can be made small through weighting. Therefore the distortion of the direction in the low frequency region can be prevented. Using the linear prediction method, the irregular data are prohibited from being selected as the peak point. The detection of the second peak using the proposed moving average least mean (MALM) method is used in the Identification of the motion extent. The MALM method itself includes a noise removal process, so it is possible to extract the parameters even an environment of heavy noise. In the experiment, we could efficiently restore the degraded image using the information obtained by the proposed algorithm.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia was carried out over the physical mixture of $MnO_2$ and K or Cu-loaded activated carbons (AC) at low temperature. Introduction of oxygen affected positively the reduction of NO. Metal-impregnated AC showed significantly enhanced catalytic activity. Without water, the mixed catalyst of $MnO_2$ and K-loaded AC exhibited the best activity in the reduction of NO at $120^{\circ}C$. On the contrary, the activities of all the catalysts were significantly diminished in the presence of water. The mixed catalyst of $MnO_2$ and Cu-loaded AC treated with nitric acid and heat (1 : 1, w/w) exhibited the better activity for the reduction of NO than each single catalyst in presence of water.

In this study, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)-1-propanesulfonic acid (THS-PSA) was added to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA) to improve the separation characteristics toward water vapors in the air. The prepared membranes varying both PSSA_MA and THS-PSA amounts were also synthesized at different cross linking temperatures. Then, in order to investigate the separation characteristics of the resulting membranes, the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and vapor permeation experiments were carried out. The increase of cross-linking temperature showed longer time to reach the equilibrium sorption state from the dynamic vapor sorption experiments. PVA/PSSA_MA (3%)/THA-PSA(7%) prepared at $120^{\circ}C$ gave the highest permeability of 480 barrer at $35^{\circ}C$.

Visibility preprocessing is a useful method to reduce the complexity of scenes to be processed in real-time, and so enhances the overall rendering performance for interactive visualization of virtual environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient visibility preprocessing method. In the proposed method, we assume that navigatable areas in virtual environments are partitioned into rectangular parallelpiped cells or sub-worlds. To preprocess the visibility of each polygon for a given partitioned cell, we should determine at least the area-to-area visibility. This is inherently a four-dimensional problem. We efficiently express four-dimensional visibility information on two-dimensional spaces and keep it within a ternary tree, which is conceptually similar to a BSP(Binary Space Partitioning) tree, by exploiting the characteristics of conservative visibility. The proposed method is able to efficiently handle more general environments like urban scenes, and remove invisible polygons jointly blocked by multiple occluders. The proposed method requires O(nm) time and O(n+m) space. By selecting a suitable value for m, users can select a suitable level of trade-off between the preprocessing time and the quality of the computational result.

The exemplar-based inpainting model is widely used to remove objects from natural images and to restore a damaged region. This paper presents a method which improves the performance of the conventional exemplar-based inpainting model by modifying three major parts in the model: data term, confidence term and patch selection. While the conventional data term is calculated using the local gradient, the proposed method uses 16 compass masks to get the global gradient to make the method robust to noise. To overcome the problem that the confidence term gets negligible in the inside of the eliminated region, a method is proposed which makes the confidence term decrease slowly in the eliminated region. The patch selection procedure is modified so that the closer patch has higher weight. Experiments showed that the proposed method produced more natural images and lower reconstruction error than the conventional exemplar-based inpainting.

The methodology of KOSPI forecast has been considered as one of the most difficult problem to develop accurately since short-term KOSPI is correlated with various factors including politics and economics. In this paper, we presents a methodology for forecasting short-term trends of stock price for five days using the feature selection method based on a neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions (NEWFM). The distributed non-overlap area measurement method selects the minimized number of input features by removing the worst input features one by one. A technical indicator are selected for preprocessing KOSPI data in the first step. In the second step, thirty-nine numbers of input features are produced by wavelet transforms. Twelve numbers of input features are selected as the minimized numbers of input features from thirty-nine numbers of input features using the non-overlap area distribution measurement method. The proposed method shows that sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates are 72.79%, 74.76%, and 73.84%, respectively.

When fitting a Cox proportional hazards model with missing covariates, it is inefficient to exclude observations with missing values in the analysis. Furthermore, if the missing-data mechanism is not Missing Completely At Random(MCAR), it may lead to biased parameter estimation. Many approaches have been suggested to handle the Cox proportional hazards model when covariates are sometimes missing, but they are based on the selection model. This paper suggest an approach to handle Cox proportional hazards model with missing covariates by using the pattern-mixture model (Little, 1993). The pattern-mixture model is expressed by the joint distribution of survival time and the missing-data mechanism. In the pattern-mixture model, many models can be considered by setting up various restrictions, and different results under various restrictions indicate the sensitivity of the model due to missing covariates. A simulation study was conducted to show the sensitivity of parameter estimation under different restrictions in a pattern-mixture model. The proposed approach was also applied to mouse leukemia data.

In In order to remove harmful trace elements such as $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ , $Cr_2O_7\;^{2-}$ from water, we synthesized AN-co-(MMA/IA) according to various mole ratio of monomers and spun by wet-spinning. And multi-functional PAN ion exchangers were prepared by hydrolysis. We observed structure, degree of functionalization, ion exchange capacity, distribution coefficient and mechanical properties for ion exchanger. Anion exchange capacity decreased in 4.5 ~ 4.2 meq/g with increasing of IA content and cation exchange capacity increased in 1.8 ~ 2.2 meq/g. Tensile strength of the ion exchanger increased up to 0.008 mol% IA content and appeared maximum value by 216$kg/cm^2$Distribution coefficient for AN-co-(MMA/IA) ion exchanger appeared maximum value for Co(II), Ni(II) in pH 5-6 range and for Cr(III) in pH 3-4 range. And the adsorption capacity was in the order of Cr(III) > Co(II) > Ni(II) for multicomponent in continuous process.
