  • We propose a semantics filter aimed at filtering unnecessary data for a user. In the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transfer of spatial data for each user is one of the important problems. We design a system that filters spatial data by using user's information adaptively. Our system derives the degree of geographical knowledge and the priority of buildings by using fuzzy reasoning. Furthermore, this system computes the priority of roads by deriving the contiguity relation between a building and a road. This paper describes a method for filtering of spatial data.

  • This paper proposes a selection procedure of geospatial data for location guidance map generation system. The selection procedure requires some targets appointed by users as input data and outputs generation. The procedure is embedded in a prototype of object-oriented GIS. We show sample maps generated by the system.

  • Geographic Information System(GIS) has become an essential tool for making efficient interaction with both natural and artificial envirionment. Currently, it is being used on an inteligent tool in many device like the personal digital assistant(PDA) and the cellular phone and so on. However, these devices show very low performance comparing to a personal computer(PC). These devices(PDA, celluar phone) posses a less powered device profile. The less powerful hardware make these devices in capable to handle GIS based large spacial data. In this paper, we propose a new concept of multi-tier GIS oriented architecture to improve the data transfer performance providing only the necessary information required by the user using semantic filter.

  • Objective: The Agu is the only native pig breed in Japan, which is reared in Okinawa prefecture, the southernmost region in Japan. Its origins are considered to be of Asian lineage; however, the genetic background of the Agu is still unclear. The objective of this study was to elucidate the maternal lineage of the Okinawa indigenous Agu pig with the use of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. Methods: The mtDNA control regions of Agu pigs were sequenced and the phylogenetic relationship among Agu, East Asian and European pigs was investigated with the use of 78 Agu individuals. Results: Twenty-seven polymorphic sites and five different haplotypes (type 1 to type 5) were identified within the Agu population. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that types 1 and 2 were included in East Asian lineages; however, the remaining types 3, 4, and 5 were of European lineages, which showed a gene flow from European pigs in the 20th century. Sixty-seven out of 78 Agu individuals (85.9%) possessed mtDNA haplotypes 1 and 2 of the East Asian lineage, which were identical to two haplotypes of ancient mtDNA (7,200 to 1,700 years before the present) excavated at archaeological sites in Okinawa. Conclusion: This study confirmed that the East Asian lineage is dominant in the maternal genetic background of the Agu population, supporting the hypothesis that the ancestors of the Agu pig were introduced from the Asian continent.

  • In this report, we present a case of successful treatment of a bowel fistula in the open abdomen by perforator flaps and an aponeurosis plug. A 70-year-old man underwent total gastrectomy and developed anastomotic leakage and dehiscence of the abdominal wound a week later. He was dependent upon extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, continuous hemodiafiltration, and a respirator. Bowel fluids contaminated the open abdomen. Two months after the gastric operation, a plastic surgery team, in consultation with general surgeons, performed perforator flaps on both sides and constructed, as it were, a bridge of skin sealing the orifice of the fistula. The aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle was elevated with the flap to be used as a plug. The perforators of the flaps were identified on preoperative and intraoperative ultrasonography. This modality allowed us to locate the perforators precisely and to evaluate the perforators by assessing their diameters and performing a waveform analysis. The contamination decreased dramatically afterwards. The bare areas were gradually covered by skin grafts. The fistula was closed completely 18 days after the perforator flap. An ultrasound-guided perforator flap with an aponeurosis plug can be an option for patients suffering from an open abdomen with a bowel fistula.

  • A new domain PCA-based approach to watermarking is presented. This method is applied to digital images to embed and detect a watermark. The performance of PCA approach is compared to traditional frequency domain watermark models. Simulation shows the performance of the proposed method with excellent result against image cropping and robustness against some attacks such as additive noise, filtering and jpeg compression.

  • 본 연구에서는 제주와 오키나와에서 생산되는 망고 'Irwin' 과실에 대해 품질 및 기능성을 비교 평가 하기 위해 가용성 고형분, 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 화합물, mangiferin 등 원료특성과 에탄올 추출물의 항산화 활성을 비교해 보았다. 망고 'Irwin' 을 저수고 유인재배를 하는 오키나와 농가하우스와 온난화 대응농업연구소(IRCA)가 제주농가 하우스 보다 가용성 고형분 함량과 항산화 활성 및 mangiferin 함량이 높았으며, 오키나와 농가하우스가 IRCA 보다 이들 함량이 높았다. 이들 결과는 망고 'Irwin' 에 있어 저수고 유인재배가 과실의 품질향상에 중요하다는 것이 시사가 되었다.

  • As the use of virtual simulation expands, digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs), which mimic conventional simulation films, play an increasingly important role as reference images in the verification of treatment fields. The purpose of our study is to develop an algorithm for computation of digitally reconstructed radiographs based on Monte Carlo simulation that take into account almost all possible physical processes by which photons interact with matter. The Monte Carlo simulation based DRRs have the following features. 1) Account has been taken of almost all possible physical processes of interaction of photons with matter, including a detector (film) response. In principle, this is equivalent to X-ray radiography. 2) Arbitrary photon energies (from diagnostic to therapeutic) can be used to produce DRRs. One can even use electrons as the source. 3) It is easy to produce a double exposure, which mimics the double exposure portal image and may have superior visual appeal for treatment field verification, with weighting within the treatment field.
