Image analysis and k-mean clustering were conducted to develop a grading system of dried sea cucumber (SC) based on rehydration rate. The SC images were obtained by taking pictures in a box under controlled light conditions. The region of interest was extracted to depict the shape of the SC in a 2D graph, and those 2D shapes were rendered to build a 3D model. The results from the image analysis provided the morphological features of the SC, including length, width, surface area, and volume, to obtain the parameters of the k-mean clustering weight. The k-mean clustering classified the SC samples into three different grades. Each SC sample was rehydrated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 40 h. During rehydration, the flux of each grade was analyzed. Our study demonstrates that the mass transfer rate of SC increased as the surface area increased, and the grade of SC was classified based on rehydration rate. This study suggests that the optimal rehydration process for SC can be achieved by applying a suitable grading system.

For the effective chemical control to minimize infection of storage pathogens on kiwifruit in the field, this study was conducted to screen alternative fungicides which could be substituted for the fungicides Benomyl WP and Thiophanate-methyl 제 registered for the control of postharvest fruit rats of kiwifruit in Korea. Among the 8 fungicides tested, Tebuconazole WP, Iprodione WP and Flusilazole WP showed higher inhibitory effects on themycelial growths of 3 major pathogens of postharvest fruit rots, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diaporthe actinidiae and Botrytis cinerea on potato dextrose agar. They also showed control efficiencies as high as those of Benomyl WP and Thiophanate-methyl WP on postharvest fruit rots in the field. They might be good candidates for fungicieds for the control of postharvest fruit rots of kiwifruit.

Sign-language communication can be a useful way of exchanging message between people who using different languages. In this paper, we report an experimental survey on the construction of a Korean-Japanese sign-language communication system using 3D model. For real-time communication, we introduced an intelligent communication method and built the system as a client-server architecture on the Internet. A character model is stored previously in the clients and a series of animation parameters are sent instead of real image data. The input-sentence is converted into a series of parameters of Korean sign language or Japanese sign language at server. The parameters are transmitted to clients and used for generating the animation. We also employ the emotional expressions, variable frames allocation method, and a cubic spline interpolation for the purpose of enhancing the reality of animation. The proposed system is implemented with Visual $C^{++}$ and Open Inventor library on Windows platform. Experimental results show a possibility that the system could be used as a non-verbal communication means beyond the linguistic barrier.

Sign language was designed for the deaf and dumb people to allow them to communicate with others and connect to the society. However, sign language is uncommon to the rest of the society. The unresolved communication barrier had eventually isolated deaf and dumb people from the society. Hence, this study focused on design and implementation of a wearable sign language interpreter. 6 inertial measurement unit (IMU) were placed on back of hand palm and each fingertips to capture hand and finger movements and orientations. Total of 28 proposed word-based American Sign Language were collected during the experiment, while 156 features were extracted from the collected data for classification. With the used of the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm, this system achieved up to 99.89% of accuracy. The high accuracy system performance indicated that this proposed system has a great potential to serve the deaf and dumb communities and resolve the communication gap.

The heat of hydration can be reduced through the use of retarding agents. Typical retarding agents include sugar and glucose. However, these significantly delay the setting of cement paste. For the efficient use of sugar and glucose for mass concrete construction, it is necessary to develop a technique that can provide a setting behavior equivalent to that of plain concrete. In this work, the temperature rise of cement paste was monitored with the addition of various retarders including sugar and glucose. Hydrated cement powder was made with a water to cement ratio of 5 in order to accelerate the retarded cement pastes. It was found that the addition of hydrated cement powder in retarded pastes reduced the maximum temperature of cement paste. The use of hydrated cement powder could also successfully reduce the time to reach the maximum temperature.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in reducing greenhouse gases in all industrial fields. In the construction industry, studies have been conducted for the use of high-volume fly ash concrete to replace cement with fly ash. Quantitative measurements of cement hydration and fly ash reactivity enable a clear understanding of the strength development mechanism of high-volume fly ash concrete. It is very difficult to describe the reactivity in a simple way because the hydration and pozzolanic reactions of cement paste containing fly ash are very complex and the composition of the hydration product cannot be accurately determined. This study investigated the hydration and mechanical properties of high volume fly ash (HVFA) cement according to the substitution rate of fly ash (FA). The hydration degree of cement and the reactivity of FA were evaluated through the selective dissolution method and the non-evaporable water content of the paste according to age. In addition, compressive strength was measured using HVFA mortar specimens according to age. As a result of the experiment, as the substitution rate of fly ash increased, the hydration degree of cement increased, but the reactivity of FA decreased.

As a means of getting over the linguistic barrier between different languages, a sign-language communication system using CG animation techniques has been studied. In order to generate a kind of sign-language animation in the system, the joint angles of the arms and the hands corresponding to the gesture have to be determined Up to date, however, the values of joint angles have been decided by trial-and-error methods based on the animator's experiences To overcome the drawback, m this paper, we design an integrated keyframe editor of the arms and the hands for 3D sign-language animation with which we can easily and quickly generate the keyframes of the sign-language animation required to build up In the Implemented keyframe editor, the values of joint angles are calculated by using mverse kinematics, and the same transformation matrix is applied to the joints of two arms and twenty fingers Experimental results show a possibility that the editor could be used efficiently for making up the sign-language communication dictionaries needed for inter-communication between different languages.

Chlorine dioxide has an excellent ability to sterilize and deodorize and is harmless to humans. However, it is very unstable and explosive as it is highly concentrated, thus its use in the air clean filed has been limited. Therefore, there is a demand to develop the system to produce a low concentration of chlorine dioxide sustainedly. Here, for a first step in the development of the system on the sustained production of chlorine dioxide, the use of polymer hydrogels was investigated. P(MMA-co-HEMA) hydrogel particles were prepared via dispersion photopolymerization and sodium chlorite and citric acid were loaded respectively in the hydrogel particles. When sodium chlorite and citric acid were reacted with not loaded in the hydrogels, rapid production of chlorine dioxide occurred and the concentration of chlorine dioxide decreased over time. However, when sodium chlorite and citric acid were loaded respectively in the hydrogel particles and reacted, chlorine dioxide was produced slowly and sustainedly because the release of sodium chlorite and citric acid from the hydrogels delayed the reaction between them. The result shows that the use of P(MMA-co HEMA) hydrogels has the potential to develop the system on the sustained production of chlorine dioxide.
