This paper deals with heterogeneous video transcoding, which is one of key technologies for the MPEG-21 digital item adaptation. It is noted that motion vector reuse Is necessarily required for computationally efficient implementation of the transcoder. But conventional transcoder employs the motion vector reuse methods only for P-pictures. In this paper, we propose two new motion vector reuse method for B-pictures. By using the proposed methods, we can produce the MPEG bitstream, which is encoded in a I/B/P picture mode. Computer simulation results show that the proposed methods can reduce the computational burden of the transcoder significantly, while allowing only a small amount of performance degradation.

Aim of this study was to investigate biofilms attached in pipeline of water reuse from the MBR system treating sewage without chlorination in correlation to the outflow water quality. Two general pipe materials: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) were employed in the experiment. The peak growths were found at week 4 in both pipes. The maximum biofilms in PE pipe was $33mgVSS/cm^2$ with the growth rate of $4.75mgVSS/cm^2-d$ which was significant higher than that of PVC pipe. Biofilms examined by PCR-DGGE technique revealed five bacterial species in PE biofilms namely Sinorhizobium medicae WSM419, Sinorhizobium fredii NGR234, Geobacter sp. M18, Parachlamydia acanthamoebae UV-7, and Mycobacterium chubuense NBB4. The VSS concentrations in outflow had directly correlated to the biofilm attachment and detachment. High COD concentrations of outflow appeared during biofilm detaching phase. In summary, water quality of reuse water corresponded to the biofilms attachment and detachment in the pipeline.

With an increased production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in electronic equipment, the consumption of solder alloys is growing globally. Recently, increasing importance of recycling solder scrap has been recognized. Generally, solder scrap contains many impurities such as plastics and other metals. Hazardous components must be eliminated for recycling solder scrap. The present work studied pretreatment for reuse of solder scrap alloys. An experiment was conducted to enhance the cleanliness of solder scrap melt and eliminate impurities, especially lead. Physical separation with sieving and magnetic force was made along with pyrometallurgical methods. A small decrease in lead concentration was found by high temperature treatment of solder scrap melt. The impurities were removed by filtration of the solder scrap melt, which resulted in improvement of the melt cleanliness. A very low concentration of lead was achieved by a zone melting treatment with repeated passage. This study reports on a pretreatment process for the reuse of solder scrap that is lead free.

Purpose: This study aims to provide marketing implications for training and face-to-face service employee communication by analyzing how communication by Korean crews at foreign airlines affects passengers' perception and how this perception relates to airline service quality and customer satisfaction. Research design, data: The collection of questionnaires for the demonstration in this study has collected 300 questionnaires for about a month for Korean passengers who are aware of the presence of Korean crew on board aircraft. Results: The study analyzed the relationship between the communication ability, customer satisfaction, and reuse intention of foreign airlines. An empirical analysis of the relationship between quality of airline service, customer satisfaction, and intention of re-use can suggest the following implications based on the language and non-verbal communication capabilities of the Korean crew working for foreign airlines. Conclusions: We studied the impact of communication between Korean crews working for foreign airlines on the quality of airline service, customer satisfaction and reuse intention. The Korean crew should also work for overseas airlines and consider communication as important and expand their overall foreign language education and communication skills to have a positive impact on not only Korean passengers but also their own citizens.

NPU in an embedded environment performs deep learning algorithms with few hardware resources. By using a technique that reuses data, deep learning algorithms can be efficiently computed with fewer resources. In previous studies, data is reused using a shifter in ScratchPad for data reuse. However, as the ScratchPad's bandwidth increases, the shifter also consumes a lot of resources. Therefore, we present a data reuse technique using the Buffer Round Robin method. By using the Buffer Round Robin method presented in this paper, the chip area could be reduced by about 4.7% compared to the conventional method.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify the influence of the hospital mobile app service quality on consumer satisfaction, involvement, and re-use intention of consumers who have experience in hospital mobile app service. Methodology: The survey was conducted on 230 users. The collected data were analyzed using correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and the Process Model in Hayes(2013). Findings: (1)The usability, reliability, and medical information provision among the service quality factors of hospital mobile apps had an effect on reuse intention, and consumer satisfaction partially mediated. (2)The usability and the provision of medical information were partially mediated by the involvement, which also affected the intention to reuse. (3)Only reliability showed an age-moderated effect. In reliability and re-use intent, age was a moderated mediating effect that controlled the effect of consumer satisfaction. Practical Implications: The results of this study provide initial data of mobile app services centered on hospitals and prove the type of consumer usage. It suggests that it can be used to attract potential consumers of hospitals and strategies to increase the use of mobile apps.

In the calculation of DCGLs using RESRAD code, the selection of input parameter values is paramount, which is basically possible when specific measures for selecting reuse scenarios and probabilistic evaluation methods are established. When referring to the impact of the age group considered in the environmental impact assessment among the existing operations of the plant, it may also need to be applied in the decommissioning project, and there will be considerations along with site reuse scenarios and probabilistic evaluations. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to distinguish the types of exposure affected by residual radioactivity contamination during the process of deriving DCGL to be used in the final site release stage of NPPs and to evaluate them by reasonably assigning age group parameter values. In addition, the case of entering a single value for parameter values by age group and the case of entering probabilistic distributions were compared and analyzed.
