This paper presents how to minimize the second-order cone programming problem occurring in the 3D reconstruction of multiple views. The $L_{\infty}$-norm minimization is done by a series of the minimization of the maximum infeasibility. Since the problem has many inequality constraints, we have to adopt methods of the interior point algorithm, in which the inequalities are sequentially approximated by log-barrier functions. An initial feasible solution is found easily by the construction of the problem. Actual computing is done by an iterative Newton-style update. When we apply the interior point method to the problem of reconstructing the structure and motion, every Newton update requires to solve a very large system of linear equations. We show that the sparse bundle-adjustment technique can be utilized in the same way during the Newton update, and therefore we obtain a very efficient computation.

Sulfamethoxazole particles were microencapsulated using the gelatin-acacia complex coacervation method. Micromeritic properties and dissolution characteristics of the microcapsules were studied. The particle size distribution followed log-normal form. As the hardening time increased, the particle size and wall thickness increased ($45.3-52.0\;{\mu}m$, $2.02-5.12\;{\mu}m$, respectively). This is considered to be due to the cross-linked wall structure of formalized microcapsules which prevents shrinking of gelatin during the dehydration and drying processes. An increase of hardening time clearly delayed the release rate. The in vitro 50% dissolution time $(t_{50})$ for unencapsulated sulfamethoxazole powder was less than 3 min.; for microcapsules hardened for 30 min, the $t_{50}$ was 20.1 min.; for those hardened for 60 min. the $t_{50}$ was 25.0 min.; for those hardened for 120 min., the $t_{50}$ was 35.8 min. The surface of the unhardened microcapsules was smooth and had no cracking or pore penetration. However, the surface of the hardened microcapsules was folded and invaginated.

Cysteine showed strong inhibitory effect on growth and protease production of Pseudo- monas sp. RP-222 and its mutant, MR-3966. Mid- to late-log phase cells were most sensitive to the presence of 10 mM cysteine. The inhibition caused by cysteine was almost completely overcome by addition of isoleucine, leucine and valine mixture to the medium, and inclusion of iso#leucine alone could greatly reduce the inhibitory effects of cysteine. Homocysteine and #cysteine, sulfur compounds having similar structure as cysteine, inhibited to varying degrees the growth of both strains. Cysteine and homocysteine were strong inhibitors of threonine deaminase but not transa#- minase B. These results suggest a relationship between the growth-inhibitory effects of cysteine and other sulfur compounds and the inhibition of isoleucine synthesis at the level of threonine deaminase.

The original concept and theory of Shannon's function H=-$\Sigma$(i-1,n)Pi, log$\_$2/Pi and its applicable domains in ecology are discussed. The confusions exist in use and interpretation of this function are due to: 1. Mixing the idea of proper ecological diversity with that of Shannon's information theory. 2. Confusion of physical or thermodynamical systems with ecological systems. 3. Confusion of the system from which one had calculated function H with the system of which function H is interpreted. It's proposed to use function H for the comparison of community's structure and so, for the distinction of community's evolution (succession) steps.

이 논문에서는 새로운 중앙 소거 방식과 행렬 이분법의 개념을 시스톨릭한 구조 위에 결합시켜{{{{ { O}^{ } }}}}({{{{ { N}^{ 3} }}}})의 문제를 해결한다. 새로운 중앙 소거 방식은 주어진 시스톨릭한 구조의 병렬성을 최대한 증가시키는 것을 가능하게 해주며, 행렬 이분법은 기존의 가우스 소거 방식 상에서 나타나는 {{{{ { O}^{ } }}}}({{{{ { N}^{ 2} }}}})의 복잡도를 요구하는 후진 대입을 효과적으로 제거 시켜준다. 새로운 소거 방법은 독립적인 선형방정식으로 이루어진 시스템의 차수를 N이라 할 때 2N(N+1)의 저장 공간과 4N+2log2N-4의 시간 복잡도를 갖는다. 제안 한 새로운 소거 방식은 단순한 구조와 연결 방식을 가진 그물 구조의 시스톨릭 병렬 시스템에 적용되기에 충분히 적합한 단순한 알고리즘을 사용하면서도 이전의 방법과 동일한 구조의 저정공간을 요구하고 동시에 훨씬 우수한 시간 성능을 나타내는 것이 가능하다.

In this study, the periodic seismic performance evaluation scheme is proposed using a structural health monitoring system in terms of seismic fragility. An instrumented highway bridge is used to demonstrate the evaluation procedure involving (1) measuring ambient vibration of a bridge under general vehicle loadings, (2) identifying modal parameters from the measured acceleration data by applying output-only modal identification method, (3) updating a preliminary finite element model (obtained from structural design drawings) with the identified modal parameters using real-coded genetic algorithm, (4) analyzing nonlinear response time histories of the structure under earthquake excitations, and finally (5) developing fragility curves represented by a log-normal distribution function using maximum likelihood estimation. It is found that the seismic fragility of a highway bridge can be updated using extracted modal parameters and can also be monitored further by utilizing the instrumented structural health monitoring system.

The small loop EM method is a fast and convenient geophysical tool which can give shallow subsurface resistivity distribution. It can be a useful alternative of resistivity method in conductive environment. We applied the multi-frequency small loop EM method for the investigation of a soft ground landfill site which was constructed on a tideland since the resistivity of the survey area is extremely low. 3D resistivity distribution was obtained by merging 1D inversion results and shallow subsurface structure can be interpreted. By comparing the result with the drilling log and measured soil resistivity sampled at 16 drill holes, we can get lot of information such as groundwater level, thickness of landfill, salinity distribution, depth to the basement and etc.

Wheat gluten-chitosan composite film (WGCCF) can prevent moisture migration and enhance the antimicrobial properties of gluten in intermediate-moisture foods like sandwiches. To mimic the structure of actual sandwich-type products we developed multi-layer food models, where moisture content and water activity differ. Water activity gradients direct moisture migration and therefore determine product characteristics and product stability. A 10% wheat gluten film-forming solution was mixed with chitosan film-forming solution (0-3%, w/w) and evaporated to generate WGCCF. Addition of 3% chitosan enhanced the mechanical properties of the film composite, lowered its water vapor permeability, and improved its ability to protect against both, Streptococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli, in a 24 hr sandwich test (reduction of 1.3 and 2.7 log cycles, respectively, compared to controls). Best barrier and antimicrobial performance was found for 3% chitosan WGCCF at pH 5.1. Film of this type may find application as barrier film for intermediate-moisture foods.

In this study, we investigate the possibility of deploying a recently emerging Internet-based technology, called Web log or Blog, to address the problems of knowledge transfer and sharing, particularly in the case of tacit knowledge. We examined the use practice of four blogs and then identified several properties relevant to knowledge transfer and sharing. They include the specific style of blog format, content ownership attribution, posted article organization, communication tools and method, news feed function, and various links from/to outside websites. These features were argued to facilitate knowledge transfer and sharing. In particular, we discussed a great deal about the structure of comments and links as tools for collaboration and idea sharing, which enables the knowledge conversion processes (socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization), We then provide several guidelines to develop blogs as a knowledge management tool.

낙동강 삼각주에 있는 Phragmites communis 초지에서 광차단과 흡수, 생산구조의 계절적 변화, 생산성 현존량을 1982, 1983 그리고 1993년에 각각 조사했다. 황충화된 수피를 통과하는 빛은 S자형으로 감소한다. 한 식물의 누층적 앞면적은, 그 시기의 수피의 잎면적 생장과 같다. 잎 면적이 log식에 따라 자랄 때, 잎면적의 수직적 누층은 일반적인 역동식에 의해 계산된다. 잎면적의 최대생장률에서의 광차단식은 식(1)에 의해 생산구조는 윗부분은 광합성계에 의해, 아래부분은 비광합성계에 의해 차지되어진다. 그러므로, 광차 단의 패턴은 S자형에서 지수함수적 패턴으로 변하게 된다. P.communis의 지상부 현존량은 $3,3660g/m^2$이상이었고, 순 생산성은 $142g/m^2$이었다. 갈초지대의 년중 순 생산은 각각 4.10,4.25,$4.47kg/m^2$/year 이었고, 촤대면적 지수는 각각 4.10.3,11.0,10.4이엇다. 이 결과는 일만초지보다 매우 높은 값이었다.
