  • We first review a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) holographic recording technique called optical scanning holography (OSH) and discuss holographic reconstruction using spatial light modulators (SLMs). We then present how the overall system can be used for 3-D holographic television (TV) display with a wide-angle view of a 3-D image, and address some of the issues encountered. Finally, we suggest some techniques to alleviate the issues encountered in such a 3-D holographic TV system.

  • Tack coat is a thin layer of asphalt between the existing pavement and asphalt overlay. During construction, insufficient tack coat layering can later cause surface defects such as slippage, shoving, and rutting. This paper proposed a method for tack coat inspection improvement using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and deep learning neural network for automatic non-uniform assessment of the applied tack coat area. In this method, the drone-captured images are exploited for assessment using a combination of Mask R-CNN and Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Mask R-CNN is utilized to detect the tack coat region and segment the region of interest from the surroundings. GLCM is used to analyze the texture of the segmented region and measure the uniformity and non-uniformity of the tack coat on the existing pavements. The results of the field experiment showed both the intersection over union of Mask R-CNN and the non-uniformity measured by GLCM were promising with respect to their accuracy. The proposed method is automatic and cost-efficient, which would be of value to state Departments of Transportation for better management of their work in pavement construction and rehabilitation.

  • This paper applies a recently developed on-line parameter identification (PID) technique to sets of real flight data and compares the results with those of a state-of-the-art off-line PID technique. The on-line PID technique takes Linear Regression from Fourier Transformed equations and the off-line PID is based on the traditional Maximum Likelihood method. Sets of flight data from the NASA F/A-18 High Alpha research Vehicle (HARV) circraft, which has been recorded from specifically designed maneuvers and used for our line parameter estimation, are used for this study. The emphasis is given on the accuracy and on-line measure of reliability of the estimates. The comparison is performed for both longitudinal and lateral-directional dynamics for maneuvers at angles of attack ranging u=20°through $\alpha$=40°. Results of the two estimation processes are also compared with baseline wind tunnel estimates whenever possible.

  • Deionized water, methanol, and ethanol were investigated for their effectiveness at dissolving LiCl-KCl-UCl3 at 25, 35, and 50℃ using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to study the concentration evolution of uranium and mass ratio evolutions of lithium and potassium in these solvents. A visualization experiment of the dissolution of the ternary salt in solvents was performed at 25℃ for 2 min to gain further understanding of the reactions. Aforementioned solvents were evaluated for their performance on removing the adhered ternary salt from uranium dendrites that were electrochemically separated in a molten LiCl-KCl-UCl3 electrolyte (500℃) using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Findings indicate that deionized water is best suited for dissolving the ternary salt and removing adhered salt from electrodeposits. The maximum uranium concentrations detected in deionized water, methanol, and ethanol for the different temperature conditions were 8.33, 5.67, 2.79 μg·L-1 for 25℃, 10.62, 5.73, 2.50 μg·L-1 for 35℃, and 11.55, 6.75, and 4.73 μg·L-1 for 50℃. ICP-MS analysis indicates that ethanol did not take up any KCl during dissolutions investigated. SEM-EDS analysis of ethanol washed uranium dendrites confirmed that KCl was still adhered to the surface. Saturation criteria is also proposed and utilized to approximate the state of saturation of the solvents used in the dissolution trials.

  • The objective of this work is to apply artificial neural networks for solving inverse problems in the structural optimization of a fiber optic pressure sensor. For the sensor under investigation to achieve a desired accuracy, the change in the distance between the tips of the two fibers due to the applied pressure should not interfere with the phase change due to the change in the density of the air between the two fibers. Therefore, accurate dynamic analysis and structural optimization of the sensor is essential to ensure the accuracy of the measurements provided by the sensor. To this end, a normal mode analysis and a transient response analysis of the sensor were performed by combining commercial finite element analysis package, MSC/NASTRAN, and MATLAB. Furthermore, a parametric study on the design of the sensor was performed to minimize the size of the sensor while fulfilling a number of constraints. In performing the parametric study, the need for a relationship between the design parameters and the response of the sensor was fulfilled by using a neural network. The whole process of the dynamic analysis using commercial finite element analysis package and the parameter optimization of the sensor were automated within the MATLAB environment.

  • The fungal genus Alternaria is comprised of many saprophytic and endophytic species, but is most well known as containing many notoriously destructive plant pathogens. There are over 4,000 Alternaria/host associations recorded in the USDA Fungal Host Index ranking the genus 10th among nearly 2,000 fungal genera based on the total number of host records. While few Alternaria species appear to have a sexual stage to their life cycles, the majority lack sexuality altogether. Many pathogenic species of Alternaria are prolific toxin producers, which facilitates their necrotrophic lifestyle. Necrotrophs must kill host cells prior to colonization, and thus these toxins are secreted to facilitate host cell death often by triggering genetically programmed apoptotic pathways or by directly causing cell damage resulting in necrosis. While many species of Alternaria produce toxins with rather broad host ranges, a closely-related group of agronomically important Alternaria species produce selective toxins with a very narrow range often to the cultivar level. Genes that code for and direct the biosynthesis of these host-specific toxins for the Alternaria alternata sensu lato lineages are often contained on small, mostly conditionally dispensable, chromosomes. Besides the role of toxins in Alternaria pathogenesis, relatively few genes and/or gene products have been identified that contribute to or are required for pathogenicity. Recently, the completion of the A. brassicicola genome sequencing project has facilitated the examination of a substantial subset of genes for their role in pathogenicity. In this review, we will highlight the role of toxins in Alternaria pathogenesis and the use of A. brassicicola as a model representative for basic virulence studies for the genus as a whole. The current status of these research efforts will be discussed.

  • 제초제 alachlor와 metolachlor가 처리된 수수의 생장에 대한 약해경감제 fluxofenim의 약해 경감효과와 경감기작의 하나로 추정되는 GST 활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 제초제 metolachlor와 alachlor는 수수(품종;G522DR)의 유묘생장을 크게 억제하였는데, 지상부 및 뿌리에 대한 50% 생장억제 농도가 각각 30.8, 28.8 ${\mu}M$과 4.48, 6.23 ${\mu}M$로 두 약제 모두 수수의 지상부에 대한 억제보다 뿌리에 대한 억제가 컸다. Fluxofenim을 종자에 처리하여 파종하고 metolachlor또는 alachlor을 처리하면 수수의 유묘생장이 회복되어 fluxofenim처리에 의한 약해경감 효과가 크게 나타났다. 약해경감제 fluxofenim을 처리한 것과 처리하지 않은 수수 유묘로부터 추출한 GST의 활성을 비교한 결과, fluxofenim을 처리한 수수의 유묘로부터 추출한 GST의 활성이 CDNB를 기질로 사용하였을때 70% 증가되었고, [$^{14}C$]-metolachlor을 기질로 사용하였을 때에도 82% 증가되었다. 따라서 약해경감제 fluxofenim을 처리한 수수와 처리하지 않은 수수의 metolachlor또는 alachlor에 대한 선택성의 차이는 fluxofenim 처리로 증가된 GST에 의한 metolachlor-glutathione 또는 alachlor-glutathione conjugation되기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

  • In vivo digestion and metabolism trials were conducted with 10 wethers equipped with ruminal, abomasal, and ileal cannulae to evaluate digestion of ensiled broiler litter (EBL), deepstacked broiler litter (DBL), and composted broiler litter (CBL). Wethers were fed a low protein (6.3% CP) basal diet alone or supplemented to 10.3% CP with EBL, DBL, CBL or soybean meal (SBM). All diets were formulated to be isoenergetic (56% TDN, DM basis). Apparent digestibilities of DM, OM, and ADF were not affected (p<0.05) by diet, but digestibility of CP was improved (p<0.05) by N supplementation. Apparent digestibility of CP was lower (p<0.05) for diets supplemented with CBL and DBL than for diets supplemented with SBM and EBL. Ruminal $NH_3$ concentration was 20 to 24 mg/dl at 2 h after feeding litter-supplemented diets compared with 13 mg/dl for SBM. Abomasal N, $NH_3$ N, and nonammonia N flows were increased (p<0.05) by N supplementation, whereas microbial N flow was not influenced (p<0.05) by diet. Compared with SBM and EBL, undegraded dietary CP flow to the abomasum tended to be greater (p<0.1) when wethers were fed DBL and CBLsupplemented diets. Retention of N (g/d) also was greater (p<0.05) due to greater (p<0.05) N intake and lower (p<0.05) urinary N excretion when wethers were fed diets supplemented with litter (especially EBL) vs. SBM. Overall, characteristics of ruminal fermentation and digestion indicated that broiler litter N was utilized efficiently by wethers, but ensiling may be preferable to deepstacking or composting.
