This study was conducted to find out the coefficient relationships between intensity values image processing and pollution density of slurries. Slurry images were obtained from the image processing system using personnel computer and CCD-camera. Software, written in Visual $c^{++}$, combined the functions of the image capture, image processing and image analysis. The data of image processing for slurries were analyzed by the method of regression analysis. The results are as follows. 1. Red(R)-values among image processing data were obtained the highest correlation coefficient 0.9213 for detecting COD. Also, green(G)-value were obtained the highest correlation coefficient 0.9019 fur detecting BOD. Blue(B)-value could not find significant values to detect the pollution resources density. 2. Hue(H)-values among image processing data were obtained the highest correlation coefficient 0.9466 for detecting BOD. This fact could be used in detecting BOD 3. Green(G)-value, GRAY-value, Hue(H)-value, Saturation(5)-value and Intensity(I)-value were the correlation coefficient more than 0.8 for BOD. Hue(H)-value was higher correlation coefficient than any other value. It was possible to detect pollution density of slurries by using the image processing system. 4. Red(R)-value, GRAY-value and Saturation(5)-value were obtained the correlation coefficient more than 0.8 for detecting COD. a-value had the highest correlation coefficient Among these values. It was possible to detect density indirectly by using the image processing system. 5. SS-density were obtained the correlation coefficient less than 0.8 by using the image processing system. The density of $NH_4$-N and $NO_3$-N were obtained correlation coefficient less than 0.2.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thermal treatments, such as a sous-vide and a conventional hot water cooking, on the texture changes of soybean sprout. A novel method to measure texture properties of soybean sprout have been determined because of the irregular geometry of soybean sprout. The shape of cotyledon of bean spout was accurately analyzed using an image processing and a geometry model. To minimize the effect of the contact area on the texture measurement, a blade type of probe was selected for the measurement. True stress was evaluated to reflect the shape changes during deformation, and demonstrated that the measurement accurately distinguished the effect of thermal treatment on the texture. Different heating time (i.e., 0, 10, 20, and 30 min) was applied for both sous-vide and conventional cooking. Thermal processing caused hardening of textures for both cotyledon and hypocotyl of soybean sprout. The conventional cooking method showed higher stress values than those of sous-vide cooking. Sprouts cooked by sous-vide released the moisture after thermal processing while sprout cooked by a conventional water bath method could hold the moisture content during thermal processing. The soybean sprouts treated by conventional cooking method showed a higher score in sensory evaluation.

The crystal structure Tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II)Dichromate has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data: a=8.268(2), b=13.865(2), c=14.921(2)Å, γ=102.04(2)°, V=1672.9(5)Å3, Z=4, Monocline, P21/b (space group No.=14), Dcalc=1.806 gcm-3, μ=24.05 cm-0.1. The intensity data were collected with Mo-Kα radiation(λ=0.7107Å) on an automatic four-circle diffractometer with a graphite monochromator. The structure was solved by Patterson method and refined by full matrix least-square methods using unit weights. The final R and S values were R=0.045, Rw=0.051, Rall=0.059 and S=2.171for 2248 observed reflections. The two carbon atoms of a ring of Ni(en)-ion were split into crossed four atoms. In consideration of α- and β-angles of two rings of a disordered ethylenediamine of Nien3-ion and the hydrogen bonds between Ni(en)3-cation and Cr2O7-anion, the configuration of Ni(en)3-ion is assumed to be disordered with Λδδδ and Λδδλ.

The crystallized CuPc(copper phthalocyanine) film on a p-type <100> Si substrate is prepared at the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ by thermal evaporation. X -ray diffraction analysis showed the CuPc film to have a-axis oriented structure. For the measurement of photovoltaic characteristics of the CuPc/Si film and the Si substrate, a transverse current-voltage (I-V) curve is observed. In the dark, the Au/Si junction is shown to be ohmic contact. However, under illumination, a photovoltaic effect is not observed. The I-V curve in the dark indicates that the CuPc film on Si may form an ohmic contact. Since the CuPc film is a p-type semiconductor, the CuPc/p-Si junction has no barrier at the interface. Under illumination, the CuPc/Si junction shows a large photocurrent comparing with that of the wafer. The result indicates that the CuPc layer plays an important role in the photocarrier generation under red illumination (600 nm). The CuPc/Si film shows the photo voltaic characteristics with a short-circuit photocurrent ($J_{sc}$) of $4.29\;mA/cm^{2}$ and an open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 12 mA.

This study utilized a discrete element method (DEM) simulation, as one of the virtual field trials, to predict the impact of tillage depth on the rotary blade shaft during rotavator tilling. The virtual field for the simulation was generated according to soil properties observed in an actual field. Following the generation of particles for the virtual field, a sequence of calibration steps followed to align the mechanical properties more closely with those of real soil. Calibration was conducted with a focus on bulk density and shear torque, resulting in calibration errors of just 0.02% for bulk density and 0.52% for shear torque. The prediction of the load on a rotary tiller's blade shaft involved a three-pronged approach, considering shaft torque, draft force, and vertical force. In terms of shaft torque, the values exhibited significant increases of 42.34% and 36.91% for every 5-centimeter increment in tillage depth. Similarly, the vertical force saw substantial growth by 40.41% and 36.08% for every 5-centimeter increment. In contrast, the variation in draft force based on tillage depth was comparatively lower at 18.49% and 0.96%, indicating that the effect of tillage depth on draft force was less pronounced than its impact on shaft torque and vertical force. From a perspective of agricultural machinery research, this study provides valuable insights into the DEM soil modeling process, accounting for changes in soil properties with varying tillage depths. These findings are expected to be instrumental in future agricultural machinery design studies.

This research is to focus on the method of moving line optimization in Agricultural Industry, especially Garak Wholesale Market Modernization Project, by using simulation tool. As everybody knew, it's very difficult to apply the SCM operation rules in Agricultural Industry, because the standardization system in Agricultural Industry was not completed. The five flow management factors, vehicle moving line management, customer moving line Management, Logistics Device Moving Line Management, Working Person Moving Line Management, Product display moving line management, are needed to be optimized on the basis of standardization rules, and to achieve this will be the good infrastructure to make the Agricultural SCM system. It's very different between the SCM structure of manufacturing industry and logistics industry and the SCM structure of Agricultural Industry, because the SCM in manufacturing is occur in the basis of flow management, on the contrary, the SCM of Agricultural Industry is on the basis of activity management. For these reason, this study is the first approach to apply the simulation method in the part of moving line optimization in Agricultural SCM, and in near future, This study will help all designers and operators to apply the simulation work in the part of agricultural SCM, and we hope that next advanced study will continue by using this study.

This paper describes Linear Discriminant Analysis and common vector extraction for speech recognition. Voice signal contains psychological and physiological properties of the speaker as well as dialect differences, acoustical environment effects, and phase differences. For these reasons, the same word spelled out by different speakers can be very different heard. This property of speech signal make it very difficult to extract common properties in the same speech class (word or phoneme). Linear algebra method like BT (Karhunen-Loeve Transformation) is generally used for common properties extraction In the speech signals, but common vector extraction which is suggested by M. Bilginer et at. is used in this paper. The method of M. Bilginer et al. extracts the optimized common vector from the speech signals used for training. And it has 100％ recognition accuracy in the trained data which is used for common vector extraction. In spite of these characteristics, the method has some drawback-we cannot use numbers of speech signal for training and the discriminant information among common vectors is not defined. This paper suggests advanced method which can reduce error rate by maximizing the discriminant information among common vectors. And novel method to normalize the size of common vector also added. The result shows improved performance of algorithm and better recognition accuracy of 2％ than conventional method.

The hexagonal $HoMn_{1-x}-Fe_xO_3$(x=0.00, 0.05) thin films were prepared using pulsed laser deposition(PLD) method on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The microstructure and magnetic properties have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFH), scanning electron microscope(SEM:), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy(CEMS). From the analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns, the crystal structure for all films was found to be a hexagonal($P6_3cm$), which was preferentially grown along(110) direction. The lattice constant $c_0$ of the film with x=0.05 was close to that of single crystal, whereas lattice constant $a_0$ with respect to single crystal shows a slight decrease. This difference of lattice parameters between film and single crystal was caused by the lattice mismatch between the film and $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. Conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum of $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ thin film shows an asymmetry doublet absorption ratio at room temperature, which is due to the oriented direction of crystallographic domains. This is corresponding with analysis of x-ray diffraction. The quadrupole splitting(${\Delta}E_Q$) at room temperature is found to be $1.62{\pm}0.01mm/s$. This large ${\Delta}E_Q$ was caused by asymmetry environment surrounding Fe ion.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate which type of Ni-Ti files are able to maintain canal configuration better in the simulated canal with abrupt curvature near it's apex. Ninety six simulated root canals were made in epoxy resin and $\sharp$15 finger spreader was used as root canal templates. The simulated root canals were made with radius of curvature of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 6.0mm respectively and the angle of curvature of all simulated canals were adjusted to 90 degree. The simulated canals were instrumented by ProFile, ProTaper, Hero 642, and $K^3$ at a 300 rpm using crown-down pressureless technique. Pre-instrumented and post-instrumented images were taken by digital camera and were superimposed with Adobe Photos hop 6.0 program. Images were compared by image analysis program. The changes of canal width at the inner and outer side of the canal curvature. canal transportation were measured at 9 measuring point with 1 mm interval. Statistical analysis among the types of Ni-Ti files was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U-test. The result was that ProFile maintain original canal configuration better than other engine driven Ni-Ti files in the canals above 3.0mm radius of curvature, and in the 1.5mm radius of curvature, most of Ni-Ti flies were deformed or separated during instrumentation.

Plants Social Network(PSN) analysis combines the plant sociological method and the social network analysis to understand plant society focusing on environmental-to-plant and plant-to-plant relationships. PSN is at an early stage of research and require comparing plant society analyses in various environments and existing interspecies binding analysis. This study conducted a vegetation structural analysis of Mudeungsan National Park and compared the existing interspecies connection analysis with the PSN. A total of 60 plots were established for a survey on the Old Trail. The TWINSPAN and DCA analysis showed that the 60 survey plots were divided into the Quercus serrata-Pinus densiflora community (Community I) and the Quercus mongolica community (Community II) based on an altitude of 800 meters. We performed the interspecies correlation with more than 30% emergence frequency and the DCA analysis and compared the results with a focus on the major species in each colony. The results showed that Quercus serrata had a correlation of -0.450^** and -0.375^** with Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica, respectively. The DCA analysis also confirmed that Quercus serrata was located close to Pinus densiflora and far from Quercus mongolica along one axis. For the PSN analysis of PSN, 40 survey plots were added to investigate the species appearing in a total of 100 survey plots. The network structural analysis showed 378 links and a species having an average of 6 interspecies bindings. The density was 0.097, the diameter was 7, and the average path distance was 2.788, similar to the PSN analysis results of the Busan Metropolitan City. The plant social network analysis showed similar results to the existing interspecies combination analysis, enabling analyzing more data than the existing methods and observing the structure of plant society.
