The effect of far-infrared (FIR) treatment on total flavanols contents and catechin composition of green tea were determined by vanillin spectroscopic and HPLC methods. Total flavanols content of green tea increased from 145 mg/g to 160 mg/g after FIR treatment for 10 min, but decreased from 146 to 90 mg/g after FIR treatment for 20 min. Among nine catechins of green tea, epicatechin derivatives decreased continuously with treatment time of FIR, while catechin derivatives increased up to 10 min and decreased to 20 min. These results indicate that FIR treatment exerting appreciable influence on catechin content of green tea may be useful as one of processing method improving quality of green tea.

It is well known some Foreign aircraft used to fly INCHEON FIR(Flight Information Region), especially the island of IEODO without a flight plan, even though foreign aircraft is subject to submitting a flight plan to Flight Information Center(FIC) before its flight. IEODO is a sunken rock 4.6m beneath the sea level, 149km away from Marado. Facing the Yangtze river's sea entrance horizontally and military zones of Korea and China vertically, IEODO is a very important place for national security of North East Asia because it is located at the boundary between China East Sea and Yellow Sea of South Korea. Moreover, JDZ(the 7th mine lot) is just 77NM from IEODO, which possesses natural gas eight times bigger than the gulf region and oil 4.5 times bigger than that of the U.S. In addition, INCHEON FIR, managed by MLTM(Air Traffic Control Center) and Japanese Self-Defense Force's JADIZ(Japanese Air Defense Identification Zone) are overlapping on IEODO whose air space is very complex. This paper focuses on air space, FIR, ADIZ(Air Defense Identification Zone) and related airspace system and suggests strategic implications of how to prevent foreign aircraft from invading INCHEON FIR without permission and of how to utilize the airspace efficiently.

We present an analysis of the relation between star-formation (SF) and accretion luminosities of local type-2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at $0.01{\leq}z<0.22$. We match type-2 AGNs found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to current far-infrared (FIR) survey catalogues based on AKARI and Herschel. Estimating AGN luminosities from [$O{\small{III}}$]${\lambda}5007$ and [$O{\small{I}}$]${\lambda}6300$ emission lines, we find a positive linear trend between FIR and AGN luminosities over a wide dynamical range. This result appears to be inconsistent with recent reports that low-luminosity AGNs show no correlation between FIR and X-ray luminosities; this contradiction is likely due to Malmquist and sample selection biases. Moreover, we also find that pure-AGN candidates, for which the FIR radiation is thought to be AGN-dominated, show significant low-SF activities. These AGNs hosted by low-SF galaxies are rare in our sample. However, it is possible that the low fraction of low-SF AGN is caused by observational limitations, as recent FIR surveys are not sufficient to examine the population of high-luminosity AGNs hosted by low-SF galaxies.

LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm using steepest descent way in adaptive signal processing requires simple equation and is used widely because of the less complexity. But eigenvalues change by width of input signals in time domain, so the rate of convergence becomes low. In this paper, we propose a new fast running FIR filter structure that improves the convergence speed of adaptive signal processing and the same performance as the existing fast wavelet transform algorithm with less computational complexity. The proposed filter structure is applied to wavelet based adaptive algorithm. Simulation results show a better performance than the existing one.

A Far Infrared Ray (FIR) dryer was designed , constructed and tested for red pepper , lycium chinese, and mushroom (Cortiellus shiitake ) drying , and the results were compared to the heated air dryer at the same condition. In the FIR dryer, three different panel materials , galvanized, copper and stainless steel, were used and no ceramic coating and those with ceramic coating (three panels) were 58% , 56%, 64%, and 88% , respectively. The drying times of lycium chinese and mushroom were shortened in FIR dryer by 6 hrs and 4 hrs compared to the heated air drying, respectively. while to remarkable difference in the drying times was found in the red pepper drying . The quality of products was better in FIR dryer where more red color value for red pepper and lycium chinese and more brightness for mushroom . The drying performance of a FIR dryer was superior in terms of total cost of 80,800 WON /100kg of lycium chinese , reduced by 25% compared to the heated air drying.

Background: This study analyzed the drought responses of five forest tree species grown in Korean peninsula, Korean fir Abies koreana (Ak), eastern white pine Pinus strobus (Ps), keyaki Zelkova serrata (Zs), tulip tree Liriodendron tulipifera (Lt), and Japanese elm Ulmus japonica (Uj). Physiological (chlorophyll, root collar diameter [RCD]) and biochemical responses (non-structural carbohydrates, proline, lipid peroxidase and abscisic acid [ABA]) of the plants grown under mild (MD) and severe drought (SD) were compared. Results: In this study, three soil moisture regimes: control (100% precipitation), MD (60% reduction in precipitation) and SD (20% reduction in precipitation) were applied. Soil moisture content showed high water content in control site compared to MD and SD. A decline in RCD was found for Korean fir, keyaki, and tulip plants, with eastern white pine and Japanese elm showing no significant decline to the prolonged drought exposure (both MD and SD). Total chlorophyll showed a significant decline in Korean fir and tulip, with the sugar levels indicating a significant increase in Korean fir and keyaki species under SD compared to control plants. Non-significant decline in sugar level was noted for eastern white pine and Japanese elm. High accumulation of ABA, malondealdehyde and proline was noted in Korean fir, tulip, and keyaki under SD compared to control. Signs of tree mortality was only observed in Korean fir under MD (38%) and SD (43%). Conclusions: The observed findings indicate the drought responses of five tree species. The majority of the morpho-physiological (especially mortality) and biochemical variables assessed in our study indicate superior long-term drought resistance of Ps and Uj compared to the highly sensitive Ak, and moderately sensitive Lt and Zs. The results provided will help species selection for afforestation programs and establishment of sustainable forests, especially of drought-tolerant species, under increased frequency and intensity of spring and summer droughts.

Frequency is an important operating parameter of a power system. It is essential that the frequency of a power system be maintained very close to its nominal frequency. And frequency measurement devices have need to measure a fast and accurate of frequency using voltage signals. This paper proposes a comparative study of frequency estimation techniques using the high speed FIR filter based algorithm, the DFT filter based algorithm using phasor angle between two phasors, and positive sequence component based algorithm using the half angle between two successive positions of phasor. The discussed three techniques have been formed through numerical manipulation of a discrete system. The proposed techniques have been tested using signals obtained from selected power system model using ATP simulation package. Some test results are shown in this paper.

In this paper, it is presented a new scheme of adaptive-neuro control system to implement real-time control of robot manipulator. Unlike the well-established theory fir the adaptive control of linear systems, there exists relatively little general theory fir the adaptive control of nonlinear systems. Adaptive control technique is essential fir providing a stable and robust performance fir application of robot control. The proposed neuro control algorithm is one of teaming a model based error back-propagation scheme using Lyapunov stability analysis method. Through simulation, the proposed adaptive-neuro control scheme is proved to be a efficient control technique f3r real-time control of robot system using DSPs.

This paper presents a new blind identification method of nonminimum phase FIR systems without employing higher-order statistics. It is based on the observation that the absolute mean of a second-order white sequence can measure the higher-order whiteness of the sequence. The proposed method may be a new alternative way to the higher-order statistics approaches. Some computer simulations show that the absolute mean is exactly estimated and the proposed method can overcome the disadvantages of the higher-order statistics approaches.

Multiplication is a fundamental arithmetic operation in many digital signal processing (DSP) and communication algorithms. The group CSD (GCSD) multiplier was recently proposed based on the variation of canonical signed digit (CSD) encoding and partial product sharing. This multiplier provides an efficient design when the multiplications are performed only with a few predetermined coefficients (e.g., FFT). In this paper, it is shown that, by exploiting the characteristics of the filter coefficients, GCSD multipliers can be used for the efficient implementation of time-multiplexed FIR filters.
