The syntactic pattern recognition system of Korean characters is composed of three main functional parts; Preprocessing, Graph-representation, and Segmentation. In preprocessing routine, the input pattern has been thinned using the Hilditch's thinning algorithm. The graph-representation is the detection of a number of nodes over the input pattern and codification of branches between nodes by 8 directional components. Next, segmentation routine which has been implemented by top down nondeterministic parsing under the control of tree grammar identifies parts of the graph-represented Pattern as basic components of Korean characters. The authors have made sure that this system is effective for recognizing Korean characters through the recognition simulations by digital computer.

Anatomical characters of the Bupleurum latissimum Nakai, an endemic species of Korea, were investigated to confirm its phylogenetic relationships. Compare to other species with anatomical characters, B. latissimum is very similar with B, euphorbioides and B, longeradiatum in point of lacking of pith in the stem, shape of involucres, number of vascular bundles in radical leaf and cauline leaf, and lacking stomata in adaxial leaf surface. The other hand, protruded pollen aperture character appears in B. latissimum and B. euphorbioides. On the based of anatomical characters, therefore, B. latissimum has closest relationships with B. euphorbioides and B. longeradiatum. It also needs molecular study including Asian species in order to confirm phylogenetic position and speciation process apparently.

This study aims to consider the effects that the type of Chinese characters of "Kangxizidian(康熙字典)" manufactured under order of Emperor Kangxi(康熙) had on the type of Chinese characters on Korea from the latter part of Joseon(朝鮮) Dynasty to the present time, and to look for the meanings it has in the studies on history of Chinese characters science and character type science in Korea. "Kangxizidian" was introduced to Joseon on the 5th year of King Yeongjo(英祖)' reign(1729), the type of Chinese characters of had great influence on that of Chinese characters in Korea at that time. This can be seen from the fact that the types of Chinese characters written in "Hongmoojeongwoon(洪武正韻)", "Yeboowoonlaek(禮部韻略)", "Saengsaengjabo(生生字譜)", "Kyujangjeonwoon(奎章全韻)", "Jeonwoonokpien(全韻玉篇)", etc. which were published after King Yeongjo mostly included the character types of "Kangxizidian". Also, as seen from the fact that Ministry of Education specified that the character types of "Kangxizidian" shall be based for the standard of writing for 'basic Chinese characters for Chinese writing education' which were revised and proposed in 2000, the influence are said to be great until now. However, the concrete consideration of the effects that "Kangxizidian" has had on the type of Chinese characters in Korea and studies on its significance has been partially made, and it can be said that the studies thereof has not been made in earnest. This study was intended to make concrete studies on the effects of "Kangxizidian" on the types of Chinese characters in Korea and the insignificance, supplementing materials not dealt with in existing studies. The subjects of study by period which were dealt with in this study are as follows. In this paper, we reinforce data not covered in previous studies. And studies of "Kangxizidian" and the relationship between the type of Chinese characters in Korea characters and the influences of the past. Lastly, I showed the significance of the shape of the "Kangxizidian" to the modern Korean character shape of Korea.

In order for further systematic maintenance of silkworm stocks kept in Korea we analyzed character quality of a diverse array of silkworm strains originated from several sericulture-practicing countries. The analysis of about ten qualitative characters from 67 strains (13 of Japanese strains, 15 of Chinese strains, 14 of European strains, 6 of Korean and Tropical strains, and 19 of unknown origin) revealed a significant difference in the ten different qualitative characters among silkworm strains. In the analysis of quantitative characters, Japanese and European strains were highest in hatchability, the Korean and Tropical strains were highest in pupation rate, and unknown origin and Chinese strains were highest in cocoon yield and number of egg laid. With the connection of molecular genetic analysis the current data may provide the advanced ground for further systematic maintenance of valuable genetic resources of silkworms, although more breeds should be investigated for further complete pictures.

Some morphological and anatomical characteristics of four Abies species in Korea were investigated to find the characteristics and the taxonomical relationship between the species. The results were summarized as follows: There was no significant difference in needle thickness and number of hypodermic cell layer among 18 morphological and anatomical characteristics of cone and needle between the species. A. koreana and A. nephrolepis were similar in above fourteen characters and A. holophylla and A. firma were also similar in the 14 characters. A. koreana and A. firma showed similarity in above two characters. Main resin canals of needles in A. koreana and A. nephrolepis were situated in leaf margin (L-LM), those of A. holophylla, in L, L-M and M, and that of A. firma fully in other locations except L.

There are various approaches that retrieve information from video. However, previous approaches have considered just object information and relationship between objects without story information to retrieve contents. To retrieve exact information at video, we need analyzing approach based on characters and community since these are body of story proceeding. Therefore, this paper describes video information retrieval methodology based on character information. Characters progress story to form relationship through conversations. We can analyze the relationship between characters in a story with the methods that classifies role grades and clusters communities of characters. In this paper, for these, we propose the Character-net and describe how to classify role grades and cluster communities at Character-net. And we show this method to be efficient.

Vehicle license plate is the only way to check the registrated information of a vehicle. Many works have been devoted to the vision system of recognizing the license plate, which has been widely used to control an illegal parking. However, it is difficult to correctly segment characters on the license plate since an illumination is affected by a weather change and a neighboring obstacles. This paper proposes a robust method of segmenting the character of the license plate on irregular illumination condition. The proposed method enhance the contrast of license plate images using the Chi-Square probability density function. For segmenting characters on the license plate, binary images with the high quality are gained by applying the adaptive threshold. Preprocessing and labeling algorithm are used to eliminate noises existing during the whole segmentation process. Finally, profiling method is applied to segment characters on license plate from binary images.

The present study was conducted to compare the relative efficiency of two different haploid breeding methods in tobacco varietal development. A single F t hybrid plant from cross of two flue-cured cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum L., Bright Yellow4(BY4) and NC 95, was used to develop the 30 dihaploid lines by anther culture(F1-ADH) and maternally-derived doubled haploid utilizing Nicotiana africana(F1-MDH), respectively. As compared with mid-parent, ADH lines showed increasing in number of leaves, delaying in days to flower and narrowing in leaf width. However, no significant differences in the other characters investigated were recognized. MDH lines also showed narrow leaf width, while no significant differences in the other characters were observed. The variations of the characters investigated were generally greater in ADH than MDH lines. MDH lines had higher plant height and shorter days to flower than ADH lines, while other characters did not show remarkable differences. The degree of heritability for each of the characters observed between ADH and MDH was almost the same. The characters showing high heritability value were plant height, leaf number, days to flower, and yield, while those showing relatively low value were leaf length, leaf width, and total alkaloid content. Predicted gains from selection for increased yield were calculated for both populations(F1-ADH, F1-MDH) and correlated responses associated with selection for yield were estimated. Plant height, leaf width, days to flower, percent reducing sugar and disease resistance would be expected to improve with selection for yield much faster in the MDH population than in the ADH.
