The aim of this note is to provide detailed proofs for local estimates near the boundary for weak solutions of second order parabolic equations in divergence form with time-dependent measurable coefficients subject to Neumann boundary condition. The corresponding parabolic equations with Dirichlet boundary condition are also considered.

In this paper, it is shown that the conventional methods for dealing with the singularity problem of a manipulator can be generalized as a local minimization problem with differently weighted objective functions. A new damping method proposed in this article automatically determines the damping amounts for singular values, which are inversely proportional to the magnitude of the singular values. Furthermore, this can be done without explicitly computing the singular values. The proposed method can be applied to all the manipulators with revolute joints.

To represent shape characteristics of digital closed curve, many algorithms, mainly based on local properties, have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for detecting local curvature maxima which reflects context, i.e., structural or surrounding regional characteristics. The algorithm does not require the value of k as an input parameter which is the major problem in k-curvature method in digital curve, but calculates it at each point depening on the context. The algorithm has been applied to two dimensional image boundaries. The efficiency of the algorithm is addressed by comparing the result of existing contest dependent algorithm.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 비디오 스트림을 분석하여 DCT DC 계수를 추출하고 이들로 구성된 DC 이미지로부터 제안하는 robust feature를 이용하여 shot을 구하고 각 feature들의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 스트림의 특징에 따라 weight를 부가하여 구해진 characterizing value의 시간변화량을 구한다. 구해진 변화량의 local maxima와 local minima는 MPEG 비디오 스트림에서 각각 가장 특징적인 frame과 평균적인 frame을 나타낸다. 이 순간의 frame을 구함으로서 효과적이고 빠른 시간 내에 key frame을 추출한다. 추출되어진 key frame에 대하여 원영상을 복원한 후, 색인을 위하여 다수의 parameter를 구하고 사용자가 질의한 영상에 대해서 이들 파라메터를 구하여 key frame들과 가장 유사한 대표영상들을 검색한다.

In this paper, we investigate an initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation. At first, by applying the Faedo-Galerkin, we prove local existence and uniqueness results. Next, by constructing Lyapunov functional, we establish a sufficient condition to obtain the global existence and exponential decay of weak solutions.

Purpose: The association between metabolism and cancer has been recently emphasized. This study aimed to find the prognostic significance of obesity in advanced stage rectal cancer patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 111 patients who were treated with combined surgery and RT for clinical stage 2-3 (T3 or N+) rectal cancer between 2008 and 2014. The prognostic significance of obesity (body mass index [BMI] ${\geq}25kg/m^2$) in local control was evaluated. Results: The median follow-up was 31.2 months (range, 4.1 to 85.7 months). Twenty-five patients (22.5%) were classified as obese. Treatment failure occurred in 33 patients (29.7%), including local failures in 13 patients (11.7%), regional lymph node failures in 5, and distant metastases in 24. The 3-year local control, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival rates were 88.7%, 73.6%, and 87.7%, respectively. Obesity (n = 25) significantly reduced the local control rate (p = 0.045; 3-year local control, 76.2%), especially in women (n = 37, p = 0.021). Segregation of local control was best achieved by BMI of $25.6kg/m^2$ as a cutoff value. Conclusion: Obese rectal cancer patients showed poor local control after combined surgery and RT. More effective local treatment strategies for obese patients are warranted.

This paper presents an adaptive back propagation algorithm that update the learning parameter by the generated error, adaptively and configuration of the range for the initial connecting weight according to the different maximum target value from minimum target value. This algorithm is expected to escaping from the local minimum and make the best environment for the convergence. On the simulation tested this algorithm on three learning pattern. The first was 3-parity problem learning, the second was $7{\times}5$ dot alphabetic font learning and the third was handwritten primitive strokes learning. In three examples, the probability of becoming trapped in local minimum was reduce. Furthermore, in the alphabetic font and handwritten primitive strokes learning, the neural network enhanced to loaming efficient about 27%~57.2% for the standard back propagation(SBP).

Since November 1990, observations of carbon monoxide(CO) levels have been carried out at Tat-ahn Peninsula(TAP) in Korea. Analysis on atmospheric data, obtained in the period from November 1990 to February 1992, is carried out and the results are included in this study. It is observed that variations of monthly average level on CO are in the range of 141.61-516.06ppb(amplitude 374.45 ppb). An average level in 1991 is 308.18 ppb. CO observed at TAP has a larger seasonal variation. One of reasons appears that CO of TAP is strongly influenced by local sources and westerly airflows. When this gas of TAP is compared with data observed at Korea National University of Education(KNU) and in Seoul, we learn that CO values of KNU are higher(in average 2.15 times) than those of TAP; CO value observed in Seoul are 7 times higher than those of TAP. We interprete that air samples taken both at KNU and in Seoul are influenced strongly by local sources than those at TAP. According to analysis of trajectories and air flows, the CO value is higher with NW airflows than the value with SW airflows.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to investigate the thermophysical characteristics and the stability of liquid threads for various conditions. A cylindrical thread in the simulation domain is made of Lennard-Jones molecules. The surface tension of liquid threads can be determined from local densities, local normal and transverse components of the pressure force. In order to understand the effects of thread radii on surface tensions, the Tolman equation is modified on the basis of the cylindrical coordinates for prediction of surface tensions. Surface tensions calculated from the MD simulation agree with the prediction from the modified Tolman equation. In addition, surface tensions decrease linearly with increasing system temperature. For a binary system, the surface tension decreased linearly compared to that for a pure system with increasing binary ratio of solute molecules which have relatively large value of the affinity coefficient. For a fixed binary ratio, the surface tension increased slightly with the affinity coefficient and the maximum value appear around where the affinity coefficient is 1.5 and decreased rapidly for upper value of 1.5. In addition, the critical wavelengths of perturbations are proven to be directly proportional to the equimolar dividing radii of the liquid threads.

In this paper, we conducted an empirical study on the economic value of Palutungan Resort, Gunung Ciremai National Park (Indonesia), using an individual travel cost method. Gunung Ciremai is the highest mountain in West Java Province which has high biodiversity and constitutes the home range of the endangered species, Nisaetus bartelsi and leopards. Using the individual travel cost method, we estimated the annual consumer surplus of ecotourism for Palutungan Resort to be approximately $19, while its total economic value was $0.23 million. However, Palutungan Resort does not benefit exclusively, because the total economic value is divided diversely among the central government (non-tax revenue), local government (taxes), and local communities, while the transportation agencies, retailers, and gas station companies also reap some valuable benefits. In regard to the benefit allocation, all of the associated parties should participate in the conservation and preservation of natural resources in Palutungan Resort to improve the ecotourism services.
