Despite being a key concept of International Relations theory, there is no consensus about what the national interest is. It is almost impossible for political leaders of democratic states to make a crucial decision in foreign policies when considering only the national interest without public support. Rather, we are unable to imagine the national interest without public opinion. In general, international crises galvanize people who held different opinions and unify social cleavages, such as secular-religious identities, into a nation that acts in its national interest. The author proposes a method to operationalize the key concept and describes a relationship between the national interest and religious identities in a democratic state. The selected case is the state of Israel. It is believed that Israel is a good example to think about the association between foreign affairs and political attitudes since it is characterized as a socio-religious divided society and has often waged war against Arab military forces.

3D reconstruction of a human face from an image sequence remains an important problem in computer vision. We propose a method, based on a factorization algorithm, that reconstructs a 3D face model from short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion. Factorization algorithms can recover structure and motion simultaneously from one image sequence, but they usually require that all feature points be well tracked. Under rotational motion, however, feature tracking often fails due to occlusion and frame out of features. Additionally, the paucity of images may make feature tracking more difficult or decrease reconstruction accuracy. The proposed 3D reconstruction approach can handle short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion wherein feature points are likely to be missing. We implement the proposal as a reconstruction method; it employs image sequence division and a feature tracking method that uses Active Appearance Models to avoid the failure of feature tracking. Experiments conducted on an image sequence of a human face demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This study was conducted to develop regression models predicting sugar and acid contents in intact fruits nondestructively by using the second derivative of absorbance spectrum measured with a spectrophotometer wavelength range of 400nm to 2, 400nm. The correlation analysis was made in wavelength range of 600nm to 1, 100nm and 600nm to 2, 400nm respectively, in order to examine the feasibility of using a real time spectrophotometer, which covers the former range, in predicting sugar and acid contents. The second derivative data of the spectrum were obtained by varying smoothing size and derivative size of the original absorbance spectrum. SAS statistical package program was used for the regression analysis. The sugar contents of Fuji apple, Shingo pear md Yumyung peach could be predicted with SEPs of 0.40, 1.17 and 0.77 respectively, in the spectrum range of 600 to 1, 100nm. The highest correlation coefficient of the titratible acidity of apple was -0.45 at 2, 346nm and regression models indicated determination coefficient less than 0.47.

Ink-jet printed (IJP) self-aligned (SA) organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and its application to light emitting seal have investigated. Ink-jet printing of light emitting material is carried out onto transparent anode covered with insulating material. Laminated light emitting seal with SA IJP OLED without photo - lithographic process and any vacuum process, noncontact type electromagnetic power supply without electric power supply line, and light emitting tag with network type RF communication terminal by controlling display information were demonstrated.

We have grown $SiO_2$ film on a polycrystalline Si layer using excited ozone gas, which is produced by ultra-violet light irradiation to ozone gas, without heating substrate. The obtained $SiO_2$ film shows dielectric properties comparable to the device quality films measured at the MIS capacitor configuration.

A workflow expresses the How of persons and things related to a business. To improve efficiency of a business, it is important to grasp and evaluate the actual situation of the current business. Till now, researches on workflows have been done almost on once business and these results can not be simply applied to food business. Besides, it is also important how to evaluate a food business workflow with a specific standard. In this paper, we propose a modeling method of food business by using hierarchical Petri net. Then we propose a concept, called throughput, as a standard to evaluate the workflows. Finally we show a method how to compute throughput and meanwhile apply a Petri net tool, Design/CPN, to do simulation of computing throughput. Our simulation result shows the modeling method and computation method of throughput are reasonable and useful.

A workflow is a flow of work carried out by multiple people. In order to increase efficiency, it is re-quired to change the current workflow dynamically. Till now, three types of dynamic changes: flush, abort, and synthetic cut-over (SCO) , have been proposed. How- ever, the performance evaluations for dynamic workflow changes have not been undertaken. To do so, measuring the amount of time cost making a single change (called change time) and comparing the methods for obtaining such times become ever important. In this paper, we first define change time and then propose a computation method individually for each change type. Finally, we evaluate the performance of an example net change by computing the change times.

This paper presents analyzed results of a permanent magnet motor by using complex E&S modeling. The calculated results are compared with ones from the conventional E&S modeling for verification. Combinations of the numbers of slots and poles are investigated to reduce total iron loss. The results demonstrate that the complex E&S modeling is very useful in design under consideration of rotational magnetic field and magnetic anisotropy.

In the paper we classify complex K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphism of order 16 in full generality. We show that the fixed locus contains only rational curves and points and we completely classify the seven possible configurations. If the Picard group has rank 6, there are two possibilities and if its rank is 14, there are five possibilities. In particular if the action of the automorphism is trivial on the Picard group, then we show that its rank is six.

Three modes of VIS/NIR spectroscopic measurement (interactance and two modes of transmission) were compared for their ability to estimate soluble solids content (SSC) of 'Shingo' pear non-destructively. The two transmission modes are named as full- and semi-transmission, where full-transmission stands for passing of light through abdomen of pear and semi-transmission is for transit of light mainly through flesh of pear. For comparison of the modes, prediction models developed from the collected spectroscopic data by the three modes were developed and tested for comparison of their performance. Partial least square regression (PSLR) was used to develop the models and various pre-processing methods were applied to develop models of high accuracy. The experiment was repeated three times with pears produced in different regions. The experiments resulted that selection of pre-processing is very important to attain accurate models, and multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) was selected as a pre-processor of high accuracy for the three modes of spectroscopic measurement in every experiment. Except for MSC, different group of pre-processing methods were selected for the three modes of measurement in every experiment without any tendency to the tested modes of measurement and pears of different produced region. Root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of prediction models of the three modes of measurement using prepreocessor of MSC were compared for their ability to estimate SSC. The models resulted in ranges of $0.37{\sim}0.57^{\circ}Brix$, $0.65{\sim}0.72^{\circ}Brix$, $0.39{\sim}0.51^{\circ}Brix$ for interactance, full- and semi-transmission, respectively. As shown, modes of semi-transmission and interactance resulted about the same level of prediction accuracy and were noted as modes of high performance to predict SSC.
