Land surface hydrological conditions have been considered to play an important role in the global and regional climate variability. Especially, snow, soil moisture, surface temperature, vegetation and rain are the key parameters which should be observed in the global scale. In this paper, new algorithms for these land surface hydrological parameters have been developed by introducing frequency and polarization dependencies of these parameters in the microwave radiative-transfer equations. The algorithms were applied to the TRMM Microwave Radiometer. (TMI) and validated by using the ground data obtained in the Tibetan Plateau. The estimated snow, soil moisture, surface temperature, water content of vegetation and rain patterns corresponded reasonably to the observed ones.

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films have been deposited, for thye first time, by a remote plasma chemical vapor deposition. The hydrogen radical play a important role to control the deposition rate, The bonded hydrogen content to silicon is independent of hydrogen partial pressure in the plasma. Optical gap of deposited a-Si:H lies between 1.7eV and 1.8eV and all samples have sharp absorption edge. B-doped a-Si:H films by a RPECVD has a high doping efficiency compared with plasma CVD. The Fermi level of 100ppm B-doped film lies at 0.5eV above valence band edge.

In this paper, a game control system was constructed, in which a game was controlled by a remote joystick connected with a power line by the power line communication (PLC) method. The structure of the system was that the connection line between the remote joystick and a PC, and the PC and an audio play device was the home power line. And, the communication data rate between them was 2400 bps. The Polling communication technique was used for the PC to read the joystick's control commands, and to send some acoustic informations to the receiver PLC device. A game was programmed, in which an aircraft was moved according to the joystick's left, right, up, and, down direction, and was shooting its missile after the joystick's shooting button was pushed. The communication delay of about 100 msec between them didn't cause any big problem in playing the game.

Recently, the ubiquitous computing environment being able to connect all kinds of computing elements at anytime anywhere becomes widespread in human life. In this paper, we focus on a PC remote control system using cellular phones. Especially, we design and implement an mobile e-mail transmission system using PC remote control technique. By using our remote controller, cellular phone users can login into their own PC, and then send any file to others by e-mail attachment. To show the correct running of our system, real demonstration results are presented. We are sure that by opening our source code to the public our results can play an important role to encourage development of the various mobile remote control functionalities.

We describe the implementation of MPEG-4 Systems for Video on Demand services. We discuss the issues in implementint MPEG-4 Systems, specially Object Description and Elementary stream management(Buffer control, Synchronization). The file-server pump the multiplexed streams to the client through the DMIF. Interaction between server and client is done with User Command(play, pause, stop, fast foward, ...). Stream data are multiplexed off-line. In advance, the file-server read multiplexed streams and pumps it to MPEG-4 terminal(client). Our system can be used in various application not only Video on Demand services, but also Internet broadcasting, remote surveillance, mobile communication, remote education, etc.

Quantifying crop production is one of the most important applications of remote sensing in which the temporal and up-to-date data can play very important role in avoiding any immediate insufficiency in agricultural production. A combination of climatic data and biophysical parameters derived from Landsat7 ETM+ was used to develop a mathematical model for wheat yield forecast in different geographically wide Wheat growing districts in Egypt. Leaf Area Index (LAI) and fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR) with temperature were used in the modeling. The model includes three sub-models representing the correlation between the reported yield and each individual variable. Simulation results using district statistics showed high accuracy of the derived correlations to estimate wheat production with a percentage standard error (%S.E.) of 1.5% in El- Qualyobia district and average (%S.E.) of 7% for the whole wheat areas.

Many techniques of image processing have been developed to analyse more precisely geological information obtained from satellites. SPOT, which is a recent project in France, will furnish stereoscopic image, with good resolution of surfaces(20m $\times$ 20m or 10m $\times$ 10m), and give altitudes(DEM) which can be restored automatically. One of the researches for the exploitation of this data, intends to recognize and distinguish automatically the geomorphological forms, containing important geological information from DEM. Along which the information obtained obtained from image processing, it will play an important role in the understanding of the surface of the terrain. This study was carried out in collaboration with University of Paris-6 and Ecole National des Sciences G$\'{e}$ographiques(Institute G$\'{e}$ographique National of France: IGN).

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent model developments and practical issues in spatial downscaling of coarse resolution satellite-derived products. First, theoretical aspects of spatial downscaling models that have been applied when auxiliary variables are available at a finer spatial resolution are outlined and discussed. Based on a thorough literature survey, the spatial downscaling models are classified into two categories, including regression-based and component decomposition-based approaches, and their characteristics and limitations are then discussed. Second, open issues that have not been fully taken into account and future research directions, including quantification of uncertainty, trend component estimation across spatial scales, and an extension to a spatiotemporal downscaling framework, are discussed. If methodological developments pertaining to these issues are done in the near future, spatial downscaling is expected to play an important role in providing rich thematic information at the target spatial resolution.

In recent years, wearable sensor devices are reshaping the way people live, work, and play. A wearable sensor device is a computer that is subsumed into the personal space of the user, and is always on, and always accessible. Therefore, among the most salient aspects of a wearable sensor device should be a small form factor, long battery lifetime, and real-time characteristics. Thereby, sophisticated applications of a wearable sensor device use real-time operating systems to guarantee real-time deadlines. The deterministic multi-dimensional task scheduling algorithms are implemented on ARC (Actual Remote Control) with relatively limited hardware resources. ARC is a wearable wristwatch-type remote controller; it can also serve as a universal remote control, for various wearable sensor devices. In the proposed algorithms, there is no limit on the maximum number of task priorities, and the memory requirement can be dramatically reduced. Furthermore, regardless of the number of tasks, the complexity of the time and space of the proposed algorithms is O(1). A valuable contribution of this work is to guarantee real-time deadlines for wearable sensor devices.

Lake studies play an important role in water management, ecology, and other environmental issues. Typically, monitoring lake levels is the first step on the lake studies. However, for the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North America having millions of small lakes and potholes, on-site measurement for lake levels is almost impossible with the conventional gage stations. Therefore, we employed Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing approach with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data to extract lake levels. Several image processing techniques were used to extract lake levels for January, 2000 as a one-time snapshot which will be useful in historic lake level reconstruction. This study is associated with other remote sensing datasets such as Landsat imagery and Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle (DOQ). In this research, firstly, image processing techniques like FFT filtering, Lee-sigma, masking with Canny Edge Detector, and contouring were tested for lake level estimation. The semi-automated contouring technique was developed to accomplish the bulk processing for large amount of lakes in this region. Also, effectiveness of each method for bulk processing was evaluated.
