Watershed Segmentation with Multiple Merging Conditions in Region Growing Process The watershed segmentation method holds the merits of edge-based and region-based methods together, but still shows some problems such as over segmentation and merging fault. We propose an algorithm which overcomes the problems of the watershed method and shows efficient performance for .general images, not for specific ones. The algorithm segments or merges regions by thresholding the depths of the catchment basins, the similarities and the sizes of the regions. The experimental results shows the reduction of the number of the segmented regions that are suitable to human visual system and consciousness.

Although growth rate is one of the main economic traits of concern in pig production, there is limited knowledge on its epigenetic regulation, such as DNA methylation. In this study, we conducted methyl-CpG binding domain protein-enriched genome sequencing (MBD-seq) to compare genome-wide DNA methylation profile of small intestine and liver tissue between fast- and slow-growing weaning piglets. The genome-wide methylation pattern between the two different growing groups showed similar proportion of CpG (regions of DNA where a cytosine nucleotide occurs next to a guanine nucleotide in the linear sequence) coverage, genomic regions, and gene regions. Differentially methylated regions and genes were also identified for downstream analysis. In canonical pathway analysis using differentially methylated genes, pathways (triacylglycerol pathway, some cell cycle related pathways, and insulin receptor signaling pathway) expected to be related to growth rate were enriched in the two organ tissues. Differentially methylated genes were also organized in gene networks related to the cellular development, growth, and carbohydrate metabolism. Even though further study is required, the result of this study may contribute to the understanding of epigenetic regulation in pig growth.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different growing regions on quality characteristics, total bioactive compound contents, and in vitro antioxidant activity in aronia. Aronia grown in 3 different regions (Sangjoo, Ulju, and Youngcheon) in Korea was obtained and used fresh or as a freeze-dried powder. No statistically significant differences were observed for moisture, ash, crude lipid, and crude protein contents in aronia sampled from the 3 different regions. Aronia grown in Sangjoo had the highest total acid content and the lowest sugar content and pH value. Conversely, aronia grown in Youngcheon possessed the lowest total acid content and the highest sugar content and pH value. Aronia grown in Sangjoo possessed relatively high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, as well as high antioxidant activity in comparison with aronia produced in other regions. Aronia grown in Youngcheon scored the highest for taste and overall acceptability in sensory evaluations, which may be related to the high sugar content and pH, and the low total acidity of the fruits. It is possible that higher sugar contents and pH, and lower total acidity in the aronia grown in Youngcheon result in more preferable sensory characteristics. However, they also contain relatively low levels of total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, and have low antioxidant activity as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging assays.

In this paper, we propose a new two-stage segmentation method for the effective object recognition which uses region-growing algorithm and k-means clustering method. At first, an image is segmented into many small regions via region growing algorithm. And then the segmented small regions are merged in several regions so that the regions of an object may be included in the same region using typical k-means clustering method. This paper also establishes similarity measurement which is useful for object recognition in an image. Similarity is measured by fuzzy system whose input variables are compactness, magnitude of biasness and orientation of biasness of the object image, which are geometrical features of the object. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage segmentation method and similarity measurement, experiments for object recognition were made and the results show that they are applicable to object recognition under normal circumstance as well as under abnormal circumstance of being.

The following statistics are the results of a survey that analyzed the classification of livestock area and spatial mobility based upon the number of livestock and an area of 151 towns and cities from 1975 to 1995. 1. As a results of analysis about the degree of location concentration using C.V., Korean native cattles (HanWoo) and swines are becoming more centralized while dairies and chickens are becoming decentralized. 2. 49 regions, that is 32.5%, were classified as growing regions, 30 regions (19.9%) were stagnant regions and 72 regions (47.7%) were withering regions. The classification was based upon the calculation according to the numbers of converted grown animals and growth index. Kyonggi-do and Chungchongnam-do, specifically, took up 26.6% and 24.5% of the developing regions which shows that these two regions are the dominant regions for livestock. 3. Kyongsangbuk-do and Chungchongnam-do play significant roles for overall livestock, and Chollanam-do is considering a transition from swines to Korean native cattles and Kyongsangbuk-do is shifting from Korean native cattles to swines.

본 연구는 북방농업지대에서 벼 해충의 지역 간 발생상황을 비교하기 위하여 곤충의 발육에 필요한 온도를 이용하여 발생 시기를 추정하는 방법으로 발생세대수나 발생 시기 등을 비교하였다. 벼 해충 6종(벼물바구미, 벼잎벌레, 흰등멸구, 벼멸구, 혹명나방, 멸강나방)에 대해 유효적산온도를 이용하여 발생 시기를 추정한 결과 월동해충은 지역에 따라 발생 시기에 차이가 있었으며, 동북방향으로 갈수록 발생시기가 늦어져, 북부고산이나 동해안북부에서는 발생시기가 가장 늦었다. 또한 해충의 발생시기가 6월부터 8월 사이에는 비래해충 1세대 성충 발생시기와 같이 지역 간 발생 시기에 차이가 적어 비슷한 시기에 발생하였으며, 기온이 낮아지는 8월부터 9월에 발생시기가 되면 지역 간 차이가 커서 벼멸구의 2세대 성충이 발생하지 못하거나, 흰등멸구, 혹명나방, 멸강나방 등의 2~3세대 성충의 발생이 안 되는 지역이 많아지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 특징으로 보아 북방지역의 동북지역, 동해안북부, 북부내륙, 북부고산지역에서의 벼해충 발생은 적을 것으로 추정되며, 중부산간의 평강, 양덕을 제외한 동해안남부, 수양산 이남, 이북지역은 국내 경기, 강원북부지역과 비슷한 발생을 보일 것으로 추정되었다.

BACKGROUND: The northeast district of China, especially Liaoning province, Jilin province, and Heilongjiang province, is one of the largest agricultural production regions in China. These regions play a significant role in ensuring food security. Accumulated temperature such as growing degree days (GDD) is an important environmental factor for plant growth and yield. Therefore, in this study, temporal and spatial distribution of GDD for maize was examined as a basis to estimate the growth and yield of maize in these regions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Meteorological date produced by NASA (MERRA-2) was used to estimate GDD of maize at this study sites. The GDD was calculated from sowing (May 1) to harvesting (Sep. 30). The average GDD of this region between 2010 and 2015 was $1323.0^{\circ}C$ day (595.3-1838.9). The spatial distribution of GDD showed a similar pattern during the different years surveyed. Double cropping for maize could be in only Liaoning province, northwestern Jilin province, and western and eastern Heilongjiang province where the GDD was over $1600^{\circ}C$day. However, The GDD in eastern Heilongjiang province was varied by year. CONCLUSION: The GDD of maize in northeast district of China was varied spatially, but similar among recent six years at the same region. This result can be used to predict growth stage and yield of maize at these regions.

본 논문에서는 보행자에 장착된 카메라로부터 입력된 자연영상에서의 구조적 패턴 변화에 강인한 적응적인 보도 영역 검출 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 다양한 패턴을 가지는 보도 환경에서 안정적으로 보도 영역을 분할하기 위해 첫 번째 단계에서는 소실점에 기반하는 VRay를 이용한 방사형 영역 분할법을 통해 보도의 경계선을 검출하여 보도의 후보영역을 분리하며, 두 번째 단계에서는 분리된 후보영역 내에서의 시드 영역 확장법(SRG)을 개선한 적응적 다중 시드 영역 확장법(A-MSRG)를 통해 구조적 패턴이 반복되는 보도 영역을 실시간으로 검출하는 방법을 수행한다. 성능평가를 위해 제안된 방사형 영역 분할법과 A-MSRG와의 결합에 의한 영역 검출 결과의 효율성을 측정한다. 기존의 SRG, MSRG 방법과의 비교 수행을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

우리 나라에 적용할 산림용 종자 산지구분(塵地區分)의 첫 단계로 임목집단의 유전생태적 분화에 영향이 큰 연평균 온도, 극한 최저온도, 생육기간중 상대습도, 일조량, 건조지수 등 기상인자를 척도로 수평적 산지를 구분하였다. 적용한 산지구분의 개념은 전형적인 산지구분 형태인 수종별 구분법보다는 전 수종을 포함한 생태지역 개념의 산지구분법에 따랐다. 산림대를 대구분 단위로 하여 산림대별(난대, 온대남부, 온대중부, 온대북부)로 기본구역을 설정하여 유집분석을 근거로 난대 3, 온대남부 6, 온대중부 8, 온대북부 2로 총 19개의 수평적 산지로 구분하였다. 적용한 6개의 척도중 연평균 온도, 극한 최저온도, 생장일수는 산림대별로 난대에서 온대북부 방향으로 일정한 경향을 보였으며 상대습도, 일조량 및 건조지수에서는 일정한 경향을 보이지는 않았으나 산지간에는 많은 차이를 보여 이들 인자는 미세 환경인자에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에 의해 구분된 산지는 구획 초기단계로 잠정적인 산지로 활용하면서 금후 생물기후도, 산지시험, 유전생태 자료 등이 축적되면 보완해 나갈 것이다.
