The purpose of this study was to propose useful suggestions for enhancing reliability to determine the resistance against surface wetting, KS K 0590, by an imaging process. We validated the standard spray test rating chart for determining quantification standard using JAVA script-based imaging process program. All of the acquired images were processed with the image software, Image J (NIH, Nethesda, MD, USA). The study results are as follows. We established the surface area measurement-based quantitative criteria for determining resistance to surface wetting. The standard spray test rating chart was converted into a numerical standard which leads easy-to-determine ratings. We also validated the procedure for imaging treatment by analyzing quantitative data. We introduced the fluorescence image for determining ratings by enabling threshold settings and binary image conversion as an optimal imaging process. It is expected that imaging-based determination for resistant to surface wetting will serve as an accurate and reliable method for KS K 0590.

The Journal of Digital Policy & Management. This space is for the abstract of your study in EnThis research aims to analyze the difficulties associated with the squash referee's decision by using the phenomenological analysis of Giorgi. With such approach, this paper investigated the fundamental causes of the difficulties of the decision making process of the referee, and then argues the needs for eliminating such causes. Five referees were recruited as the study participants, among the experienced referees with more than 10-year experience and 2nd grade certification, issued by the Korea Squash Federation. The research was conducted between June 2015 and July 2016. Participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interview. Following Giorgian four-step phenomenological analysis, all transcribed interview data were categorized into three components-'problems from the individual situation', 'problems from the social situation', and 'problems from the circumstantial situation'. Although the referees are one of major factors that determine the success and failure of the game, their working condition is far from the ideal, as observed in the problems above. Therefore, to improve the quality of the judgement, it is most important to reward the referees, who are the subject of the decision, with better economic treatment. Such improvement of the working condition of the referees is also highly related with the reproduction and professionalization of the referees.

Watermelons (Citrulus vulgaris Schrad) are usually sorted manually by weight, appearance, and acoustic impulse, so grading of maturity and internal quality is subject to inaccuracies. It was necessary to develop a nondestructive evaluation technique of internal watermelon quality to reduce human error. Thus, acoustic characteristics related to internal quality factors were analyzed. Among these factors, three (ripeness, presence of an internal cavity, and blood-colored flesh) were selected for evaluation. The number of peaks and the sum of peak amplitudes for watermelons with blood-colored flesh were lower than for normal fruits. The portable evaluation system has an impact mechanism, a microphone sensor, a signal processing board, an LCD panel, and a battery. A performance test was conducted in the field. The internal quality evaluation model showed 87% prediction accuracy. Validation was conducted on 72 samples. The accuracy of quality evaluation was 83%. The quality of samples was evaluated by an inspector using conventional methods (hitting the watermelon and listening to the sounds), and then compared with prototype results. The quality evaluation accuracy of the prototype was better than that of the inspector. This nondestructive quality evaluation system could be useful in the field, warehouse, and supermarket

In Count case, the owners claimed from the charterers the amount of their loss resulting from the delay to the Count caused by the blockage of the channel due to stranding of the Pongola on the ground that this loss resulted from breach by the charterers of the safe port provisions. The Claim was referred to arbitration and dealt with on written submission. In a reasoned award, the arbitrators upheld the owners' claim. The charterers seek an order reversing the award or remitting it to the arbitrators for further consideration : (1) That the tribunal was wrong to find that the port of Beira was unsafe and that in consequence the charterers were liable to the owners in damages for detention. (2) That the tribunal was wrong to find that the port was unsafe in the abstract by reference to the fact that two other vessels had grounded there. (3) Having held that the Count was delayed for a little over four days by the fact that, after the charterers had nominated the port, the Pongola had grounded in the access channel, the tribunal should have held that the port was not prospectively unsafe. On the that the grounding the Pongola was caused by the characteristics which made the port an unsafe port to nominate for the Count. The court was held that it was not an independent event which broke the chain of causation between the breach of contract and the owner's loss. For those reasons, the court was upheld the arbitrator's award.

In this paper, the SNR estimation error of Decision Directed SNR estimation method in AWGN is investigated, which uses samples received in reference decision region. In communication system receiver, when SNR estimation scheme using error vectors between ideal sample points and received sample points of reference region is adopted, the samples contain incorrectly received samples due to AWGN. Consequently, the mean of estimated reference constellation point is shifted and Decision Directed SNR estimation is inaccurately performed. These effects are explained by modified probability density function and difference between actual SNR and estimated SNR is theoretically derived and quantatively analyzed. It is proved that SNR estimation error obtained through computer simulation is matched up with derived one, and SNR estimation performance is enhanced significantly by adopting suggested correction scheme.

ITU-T 국제 표준화 기구에서 인터넷 폰과 화상회의를 목적으로 개발된 G.723.1 음성 부호화기는 잡음 구간에서의 전송률을 낮추기 위한 방법으로 VAD(Voice Activity Detector)와 CNG(Comfort Noise Generator)를 사용하고 있다 이중 VAD는 최종적으로 현재 프레임의 에너지 레벨을 비교하여 음성의 활동 유무를 판정하고 있다. 하지만 G.723.1 VAD에서는 보다 안정적인 판정을 위해 음성 활동 구간 사이에 삽입되어 있는 묵음 구간에 대해서는 거의 대부분 음성이 활동하는 영역으로 판정을 하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 묵음 구간에 대해 보다 정확한 판정을 통하여 기존의 방법에 비해 전송율을 더욱 감소시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 묵음구간을 길게 조절한 문장을 사용하여 측정한 결과 평균 $46.8\%$ 정도의 전송율을 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 주관적인 음질평가의 경우 음질의 열하는 거의 발생하지 않았다.

IDS has been studied mainly in the field of the detection decision and collecting of audit data. The detection decision should decide whether successive behaviors are intrusions or not , the collecting of audit data needs ability that collects precisely data for intrusion decision. Artificial methods such as rule based system and neural network are recently introduced in order to solve this problem. However, these methods have simple host structures and defects that can't detect changed new intrusion patterns. So, we propose the method using data mining that can retrieve and estimate the patterns and retrieval of user's behavior in the distributed different hosts.

This study is directed for the development of rational rating models for realistic safety assessment and the computer rating system for highway bridges. For this purpose, the conventional rating system is considerably improved in appropriate way, and a rational rating system based on the reliabilty method is proposed to estimate safety of deteriorated bridges by using only the visual inspection data or the statistical data available. In addition. the rating system which can assess the realistic allowable passing tonnage of military vehicles in case of the military operations is also presented. From this study, it is known that the presented rating system and the computer program BRS(Bridge Rating System) provide an effective tool which can handle the degree of deterioration and various uncertainities of the bridge systematically. so it can be used widely for assessment of safety and load carrying capacity of existing deteriorated or damaged bridges.

이식 전 수정란의 성판정은 많은 축산인의 소망이었다. 많은 방법이 제기되었지만, 세포유전학적 분석방법은 ET의 상용화에 거의 무의미할 정도로 한계가 많았고, 이후 개발된 응성 특이적 항원이나 X-염색체에서 발현되는 효소의 활동을 통한 성판정 방법은 흥미롭기는 하나 산업적 적용에 제약이 많았다. 80년대 중반 Y-염색체 특이적인 DNA 탐침자의 개발과 PCR을 통한 DNA증폭기술의 개발은 수정란 성판정을 획기적으로 개선시켰다. DNA기술을 통한 수정란의 성판정은 분자생물학을 현장으로 진출시킨 첫 경우이기도 했다. 90년대에 세포유전학적 분석에서 FISH가 소개되었으며, 염색체 특이적 library는 다른 기초적이고 응용세포유전학적 연구에 유용한 도구가 되었다. 최근에는 사람에서는 착상전 수정란의 성판별 및 유전진단을 위해 실시되고 있는 형광직접접합법(fluorescent in situ hybridization, FISH)은 효소적 유전자 증폭(polymerase chain reaction; PCR)에 비해 높은 민감도와 정확성을 보이고 있으나 hybridization 및 washing 과정에 매우 긴 시간이 소요되고, 절차도 까다로워 현장에서의 적용이 용이치 않았다. 그러나 direct labelled probe의 이용, heat programmable instrument의 개발, denaturing chemical의 사용배제 등을 통해 소요시간 및 절차의 대폭적인 간소화를 이루어 현장의 적용 가능성을 한층 높이고 있다. 현재 사람의 세포유전학 및 종양학에서는 FISH의 다양한 기술이 많이 이용하고 있으나 소에서는 탐침자(probe)가 개발되어 있지 않아 그 이용이 미미하다. 본 연구는 FISH를 이용하기 위한 탐침자의 개발을 궁극적인 목표로 삼았으며, 이를 위해 접근이 용이한 방식을 개발하여 기존의 방식과는 다른 소 배아세포의 성을 판별 할 수 있는 접근방법을 소개 하고자한다.
