We described a method resonant mode identification in dielectric-disc loaded cylindrical cavity resonators. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. Contour graph method uses graphical method. It is comparable with numerical method. The numerical method is very difficult a mode identification. The analysis based on the approximated electromagnetic representation. This kinds of studies only concentrated on the calculation of resonant frequencies, and a mode identification of resonant frequencies have not been covered. But, the contour graph method to analyze the characteristic equations is simple and all parts of resonant frequency graph can be easily drawn, it is possible to calculate precise resonant frequencies and to identify the mode of resonant frequencies.

The contour graph method is not a method using approximated representation of electromagnetic field variation at the outer area of dielectric in the resonators. It is a method using enact representation.

An algorithm has been proposed for the automatic detection of optimal epiand endocardial left ventricular borders from 2-D short axis echocardiogram which is degraded by noise and echo drop out. For the implementation of the algorithm, we modified Ballard's Generalized Hough Transform which can be applicable only for deterministic object border, and newly proposed Fuzzy Hough Transform method. The algorithm presented here allows detection of object whose exact shapes are unknown. The algorithm only requires an approximate model of target object based on anatomical data. To detect the approximate epicardial contour of left ventricle, Fuzzy Hough Transform was applied to the echocardiogram. The optimal epicardial contour was founded by using graph searching method which contains cost function analysis process. Using this optimal epicardial contour and average thickness imformation of left ventricular wall, the approximate endocardial line was founded, and graph searching method was also used to detect optimal endocardial contour.

We described a method resonant mode identification in dielectric-rod loaded cylindrical cavity resonators. Resonant frequency of dielectric loaded cavity is calculated by analyzing the characteristic equation. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. As the result of comparing calculation value and experimental value of resonant frequencies, we know that the field representation of non-decaying mode is exact. The contour graph method is not a method using approximated representation of electromagnetic field variation at the outer area of dielectric in the resonators but a method using exact representation.

In this paper, we present a method for extracting video objects efficiently by using the modified graph cut algorithm based on contour information. First, we extract objects at the first frame by an automatic object extraction algorithm or the user interaction. To estimate the objects' contours at the current frame, motion information of objects' contour in the previous frame is analyzed. Block-based histogram back-projection is conducted along the estimated contour point. Each color model of objects and background can be generated from back-projection images. The probabilities of links between neighboring pixels are decided by the logarithmic based distance transform map obtained from the estimated contour image. Energy of the graph is defined by predefined color models and logarithmic distance transform map. Finally, the object is extracted by minimizing the energy. Experimental results of various test images show that our algorithm works more accurately than other methods.

Graph is a major aspect of science textbooks. In this study, we investigated graph types and characteristics used in high school earth science subject by comparative analysis of science textbooks. The results of the analysis revealed that line graph and contour map was the most widely used graph types in earth science. Among line graphs, multiple line graph and YX graph was dominant. Comparing earth science graphs with other science graphs, earth science graphs exhibited superior in the number and variety. In earth science graphs, the portion of line graph was small, but the portion of contour map and scatter graph was larger than that of other science graphs. YX graph was the most specific graph type in earth science textbooks. The results of our study have implications for reform in function and structure of graph. We suggest that future studies be focused on students' ability of earth science graph interpretation.

We described a method to obtain electromagnetic solution and resonant frequencies in dielectric-disc loaded cylindrical cavity resonators. Resonant frequency of dielectric-disc loaded cylindrical cavity resonators is calculated by analyzing the characteristic equation. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. As increasing to height of cavity, we compare the calculated resonant frequency with experimental frequency. The calculated results well agree with the experimental ones. The error between them is 0.2% or 1.6% for the case of the top plate is close to or far from concentric dielectric-disc, respectively.

This paper proposes an algorithm recognizing finger using a distance graph of a detected finger's contour in a depth image. The distance graph shows angles and Euclidean distances between the center of palm and the hand contour as x and y axis respectively. We can obtain hand gestures from the graph using the fact that the graph has local maximum at the positions of finger tips. After we find the center of mass of the wrist using the fingers is thinner than the palm, we make its angle the orienting angle $0^{\circ}$. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can detect hand gestures well regardless of the hand direction.

This paper defines a distance graph for a hand region in a depth image and proposes an algorithm detecting finger using it. The distance graph is a graph expressing the hand contour with angles and Euclidean distances between the center of palm and the hand contour. Since the distance graph has local maximum at fingertips' position, we can detect finger points and recognize the number of them. The hand contours are always divided into 360 angles and the angles are aligned with the center of the wrist as a starting point. And then the proposed algorithm can well detect fingers without influence of the size and orientation of the hand. Under some limited recognition test conditions, the recognition test's results show that the recognition rate is 100% under 1~3 fingers and 98% under 4~5 fingers and that the failure case can also be recognized by simple conditions to be available to add.

The inflence of hydrophilic vehicles on percutaneous absorption rate of griseofulvin was studied using intact skin of full thickness of hairless rat. The in vitro absorption rates were used as the characteristics for deciding the optimum formula of ointment vehicles. The optimum formula of vehicle compositions for maximum absorption rate was obtained from the polynomial regression equation and the two graphical techniques, contour graph and partial derivative graph. It was composed of sodium lauryl sulfate (1.65 W /W%), white petrolatum (16.5 W /W%), propylene glycol (12.0 W /W%), and stearyl alcohol (19.6W /W%). The experimental value obtained from the optimum formula and the prediction value were 33.99 and 33.87 ${\mu}g/\sqrt{min}$, respectively. From these results, it was believed that optimum formula for semisolid dosage forms could be obtained from the application of the optimization technique used in this study.
