  • The effects of media composition on citric acid fermentation using surface immobilized Saccharomycopsis lipolytica were studied. The use of the standard medium for these organisms resulted in rapid decrease of citric acid production and a transformation of immobilized cell morphologies from a yeast-type to a mycelium-type. When the standard medium was enriched with vitamins, trace minerals, a growth factor and ammonium to form a Vigorous Stationary Phase (VSP) fermentation type medium, relatively stable citric acid production (10 mg/lㆍh) was obtained. Using the VSP type medium, the surface immobilized cells also retained their yeast-type form.

  • Chiral liquid crystals exhibit band-gap structures responsive to electrical and optical fields, providing wide-ranging opportunities for photonics applications. We discuss three aspects of this technology: optics of chiral nematic devices and removal of pitch jumps; optical switching of chiral nematic materials; and using novel phases in photonic devices.

  • The edge in the image is a part which the brightness changes rapidly between the object and the object or objects and background, and includes information of the features such as size, position, orientation, and texture of the object. The edge detection is the technique that acquires these information of the images, and now the researches to detect edges are making steady progress. Typical conventional edge detection methods are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts using the first derivative operator and Laplacian method using the second derivative operator and so on. These methods is more or less insufficient that the characteristics of the edge detection in the image added salt and pepper noise. therefore, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using modified mask that applies different size mask according to noise density of local mask is proposed.

  • The purpose of this study is for providing not only the latest design technique trend for zero waste fashion, but information about creative fashion design education through eco-fashion industry trend in globally and domestic which is focusing on eco-fashion labelling. The research were processed with literature related eco, sustainable, green fashion books, former articles, newspapers, and web sites. The results as follows; The certification about eco-fashion product is moving to 'Life Cycle Assessment' from focused on primary process like material, finishing, dyeing. Especially simplicity of process means reducing the wastes. And fabric wastage for adult outwear was estimated 15% percent of total fabric used in general design studios. Three cases for Zero waste fashion were as follows; First, Jigsaw puzzle by Timo Rissane and Mark Liu were different zero waste methods, but the result was same. Rissene's method was based on traditional cutting like 'cut and sew' but traditional cutting can lead to design that have an abundance of fabric and drape. Jigsaw of Rissene was approached with description a pattern-cutting technique in which all piece interlock with each other generating no waste from design production. Another Jigsaw by Liu was related with innovative textile design. DTP makes the possibilities for zero waste garment production almost endless. The dress intricately cut from 10 pieces, wastes none of the fabric required to make it. Second, Subtraction Cutting by Julian Roberts provides unexpected fluid, organic forms and zero waste fabric. Utilizing Roberts plug(tunnel) technique enables any part of the garment that is removed for fit or aesthetics to be reincorporated into the design of garment. Third was 'Bio Couture' by Suzanne Lee. She has created garments from cellulose bacteria which grow in a bathtub using only green methods addressing in such as way ecological issues and exploring the future of fashion design in conjunction with technology.

  • As the digital image devices are widely used, interests in the software- and the hardware-related image processing become higher and the image processing techniques are applied in various fields such as object recognition, object detection, fingerprint recognition, and etc. For the edge detections Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny detectors are used and these existing methods can excellently detect the edges of the images without noise. However, in the images corrupted by the impulse noise, these methods are insufficent in noise elimination characteristics, showing unsatisfactory edge detection. Therefore in this paper, in order to obtain excellent edge detection characteristics in the corrupted image by the impulse noise, an detection algorithm is porposed, which uses the central pixel of mask divided by four regions along the axis, calculates the estimated mask according to the representing pixel values in each regions, and detects the final edges by applying the estimates mask and the new directional one.

  • Edge is a significant element to represent boundary information between objects in images. There are various edge detection methods, which are based on differential operation, such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny, Laplacian, and etc. However the conventional methods have drawbacks as follow : (i) insensitivity to edges with gentle curve intensity, (ii) detection of double edges for edges with one pixel width. For the detection of edges, not only development of the effective operators but also that of appropriate thresholding methods are necessary. But it is very complicate problem to find an appropriate threshold. In this paper, we propose an edge detection method based on the region separateness between objects to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional methods, and a thresholding method for the proposed edge detection method. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method through experimental results obtained by applying the proposed and the conventional methods to well-known test images.

  • The edge detection is a pre-processing of such as image segmentation, image recognition, etc, and many related studies are being conducted both in domestic and abroad. Representative edge detection methods are Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny edge detectors. Such existing methods are possible for superb detections of edges if edges are detected from videos without noises. However, for video degraded by the salt-and-pepper noise, the edge detection characteristic is shown to be insufficient due to the noise influence. Therefore, in this study, the area is separated as the top, down, left and right from the mask's center pixel first to acquire a superb edge detection characteristic from the video damaged by the salt-and-pepper noise. And the algorithm that detects the final edge by applying the directional mask on the assumed factor of mask that is obtained according to the result of determination for the noise status of representative pixel value of each area.

  • In this study, we performed algorithm development of automatic symptom degree for patient with hallux valgus one of the representative foot disease of morden. And this study proposes an efficient automated technique that is different from the original analog diagnosis for treatment and surgery of hallux valgus using digital image process. And we used X-Ray images of both a normal and a patient with hallux valgus in the procedure. First, we marked the standard angle on the X-Ray image of normal through Overlap & Add technique. Then we created a standard image through thinning filter and roberts filter(edge detection algorithm). Second, we used sobel filter of edge detection algorithm on the X-Ray image of patient. Moreover, we went another overlap & add technique procedure with both normal and patient image that we made. With the output, we projected the display detection image onto the screen. Finally, with the display detection image, we could measure and project the diagnosis angle of hallux valgus. And this confirms that this method is much more practical and applicable for another orthopedics disease than the prior one.

  • Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital abnormality but it is well recognized as the cause of significant aortic regurgitation. We describe 5 patients who underwent surgery for severe aortic regurgitation associated with quadricuspid valve. In all patients, this abnormality had been incidentally detected during surgery. Two of the patients had infective endocarditis. In accordance with the Hurwitz and Roberts classification, two valves were type d, two were type a, and one was type c.
