The anatomy and morphology of seeds from 10 Hawaiian Portulaca taxa were examined to explore patterns of variation among the taxa, and to evaluate their phylogenetic relationships. Features of seeds were assessed employing microtechnique procedures, statistical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Anatomically, the orientation of embryo was consistent across taxa, and all seeds examined had central nutritive tissue and integuments comprising the peripheral embryo. Seeds were generally small, circular to ovoid in shape, and either smooth or rough-surfaced, with tubercules. Variation in seed size was noted, although minimal within small seeded group. The size of seeds ranged from 0.50~1.26 mm in length, and 0.55~1.34 mm in width, with similar weights. Seeds were distinguished by the sculpture and arrangement of the testa epidermis and the way in which their stellulate-tessellate cells uniquely fit together. Using a multiple range test (ANOVA), two groups were established by seed characteristics. The SEM also demonstrated morphological differences in testa sculpturing. The results obtained confirm the usefulness of seed characteristics in the identification of the species examined, and furthermore, allow for the separation of the Hawaiian Portulaca into two groups.

This study is designed to find out the physicochemical quality and the morphological features of Korean wheat flour and imported wheat flour with a view to shed light on their difference. In terms of components, Korean wheat flour and imported wheat flour are similar, but the latter turns out to be better than the former when it comes to crude protein, the ratio of water absorption and the power of maintenance. Yet Korean wheat flour turns out to be better than imported wheat flour. In terms of the chromaticity of wheat flour, the latter turns out to be higher than the former when it comes to L value, while the former turns out to be higher than the latter when it comes to a value and b value. In terms of the morphological features of wheat flour, both are in the shape of an oval with starch particles irregularly attached to gluten. And imported wheat flour is getter than Korean wheat flour in terms of the size of particles.

두식물 군락에서 Complexipes moniliformis가 발견되었다. 발견된 균은 형태적으로 많은 차이점이 관찰되었으며, 이는 다른 보고와 동일한 결과를 얻었다. 그러나, 형태적인 차이점은 두식물군락에서 동일하였으나, 포자의 직경의 크기는 두 식물군락에서 유이성이 관찰되었다.

Recently, there have been researches to automate processing and analysing images in the medical field using image processing technique, a fast communication network, and high performance hardware. In this paper, we propose a system to be able to analyze morphological abnormality of red-blood cells for peripheral blood image using image processing techniques. To do this, we segment red-blood cells in the blood image acquired from microscope with CCD camera and then extract UNL fourier features to classify them into 15 classes. We reduce the number of multi-variate features using PCA to construct a more efficient classifier. Our system has the best performance in recognition rate, compared with two other algorithms, LVQ3 and k-NN. So, we show that it can be applied to a pathological guided system.

We constructed morphological filter for single sweep records of event-related potential (ERP), especially P300 waveform. By combining 4 basic operations; erosion, dilation, opening and closing, we can derive any desired filters whose property fits the current objectives. The morphological filter for single sweep records of ERP was constructed by taking account of the features of the signal and noise components. The morphological filter has superior properties of separating the signal ancl the noise even existing within a same frequency band. The constructed morphological filter was tested by using simulation data of ERP and then applied to actual ERP data of a normal subject. The results proved that the constructed morphological filter was an appropriate tool for single sweep records of ERP.

Statistical tools for determining sex in the sexually monomorphic black-billed magpie based on morphological characters have been developed based on studies of European and North American populations. However, since no morphological method has been developed for black-billed magpies in Korea, it has been difficult to conduct field studies that require information about the sex of individuals. We present two discriminant equations for determining sex of second-year (SY) and after-second-year (ASY) magpies in north- and midwestern part of South Korea. Based on morphological measurements on 105 SY (56 females, 49 males) and 72 ASY (36 females, 36 males) individuals, we found body mass, wing chord, and head length to be the most useful features for morphological sex determination. The accuracy of our method was 86.5% for SYs and 93.1% for ASYs, which is similar to values reported previously from American and European magpies. Since the equations contain morphological traits which are only minimally susceptible to seasonal variation and measurement errors, our discriminant equations should be both useful and robust for sex determination on black-billed magpies in the northern and mid-western regions of South Korea.

The author studied the open-bite of 16 males and 25 females aged 20-23 using profile cephalometric roentgenogram and compared with normal occlusion to determine the morphological pattern of open-bite. The following results are obtained. 1) Open-bite patients showed remarkable vertical development of jaws than normal occlusion. 2) Females indicated conspicuous characteristics than males in open-bite. 3) Anterior teeth disclosed low positions in open-bite patients. 4) Mandible revealed obvious morphological features than maxilla in open-bite patients.

In this paper, a new morphology-based homomorphic filtering technique is presented to enhance features in medical images. The homomorphic filtering is performed based on the morphological sub-bands, in which an image is morphologically decomposed. An evolutionary design is carried to find an optimal gain and structuring element of each sub-band. As a search algorithm, Differential Evolution scheme is utilized. Simulations show that the proposed filter improves the contrast of the interest feature in medical images.

A shared-weight neural network that performed classification based on the features extracted with the fuzzy morphological operation is introduced. Learning rules for the structuring elements, degree of membership, and weighting factors are also precisely described. In application to handwritten digit recognition problem, the fuzzy morphological shared-weight neural network produced the results which are comparable to the state-of-art for this problem.

제한된 구역내의 고정(static)된 감시 카메라를 통해 입력된 영상 데이터에 대해 움직임이 있는 물체를 검출하기 위해서는 주위 잡음(noise)에 대한 민감성(sensitivity)과 상황변화에 대해 대처할 수 있는 강인한 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 잡음이나 갑작스런 상황의 변화에 적절히 대응하여 움직임 물체를 추출하고 추적하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 초기 배경 모델(background model) 영상에 의해서 입력되는 영상 내에 이동 물체가 존재할 경우 각 화소의 주변의 변화를 고려하여 움직임 영역을 검출하였다. 움직임 영역의 화소들의 잡음 제거를 위해 형태학적 필터(morphological filter)를 사용하였고, 8-연결 성분 표시(connected component labeling)에 의해 개별적인 물체의 움직임을 검출하였다. 마지막으로 다양한 환경과 모델에 따른 실험결과와 통계적인 분석을 제시하였다.
