Aerial objects are more challenging to segment than normal objects, which are usually smaller and have less textural detail. In the process of segmentation, target objects are easily omitted and misdetected, which is problematic. To alleviate these issues, we propose local aggregation feature pyramid networks (LAFPNs) and pyramid integrated context modules (PICMs) for aerial object segmentation. First, using an LAFPN, while strengthening the deep features, the extent to which low-level features interfere with high-level features is reduced, and numerous dense and small aerial targets are prevented from being mistakenly detected as a whole. Second, the PICM uses global information to guide local features, which enhances the network's comprehensive understanding of an entire image and reduces the missed detection of small aerial objects due to insufficient texture information. We evaluate our network with the MS COCO dataset using three categories: airplanes, birds, and kites. Compared with Mask R-CNN, our network achieves performance improvements of 1.7%, 4.9%, and 7.7% in terms of the AP metrics for the three categories. Without pretraining or any postprocessing, the segmentation performance of our network for aerial objects is superior to that of several recent methods based on classic algorithms.

Image feature extraction is one of the basic works for biometric analysis. This paper presents the novel concept of application of ridgelets for iris recognition systems. Ridgelet transforms are the combination of Radon transforms and Wavelet transforms. They are suitable for extracting the abundantly present textural data that is in an iris. The technique proposed here uses the ridgelets to form an iris signature and to represent the iris. This paper contributes towards creating an improved iris recognition system. There is a reduction in the feature vector size, which is 1X4 in size. The False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) were also reduced and the accuracy increased. The proposed method also avoids the iris normalization process that is traditionally used in iris recognition systems. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 99.82%, 0.1309% FAR, and 0.0434% FRR.

Copper (Cu)-incorporated silica aerogel was synthesized by a sol-gel process with two-step drying process for color modification. The microstructure of the silica aerogel was not affected significantly by the Cu concentration and an amorphous structure was maintained without any crystalline impurity phases. The textural properties of the silica aerogels investigated by using N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms exhibited the typical features of mesoporous materials. The pore size and porosity were not changed significantly even with the incorporation of Cu up to 1.5 M, which indicates negligible variation of thermal insulating properties. However, the color of the aerogel changed from white and light greenish to dark greenish with increasing Cu content. The color change of the silica aerogel was due to the modification of the electron energy band structure of silica by the Cu atomic levels. Therefore, the color of the silica aerogel powders could be manipulated by incorporating Cu without degrading the thermal insulating properties.

Neuti-dduk is a steamed rice cake made of nonglutious rice How, with Neuti leaves powder, sugar, and water. The objective of study was designed to seek the best recipe to make Neuti-dduk The procedure was as follows Neuti-dduk containing different ratios of the above mentioned ingredients, such as Neuti leaves powder (4, 8, and 12g), sugar and water. The most desirable recipe was determined after sensory examinations and mechanical tests to measure the texture, moisture content and colorimeter. The results of the sensory evaluation showed the Neuti-dduk containing 8g Neuti leaves powder, 20g sugar 20 and 45$m\ell$ water had the highest scores in overall acceptability, color and flavor preference. In the textural analysis the hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the Neuti-dduk decreased on the addition of increasing amounts of Neuti leaves powder. The moisture content of Neuti-dduk with 4g Neuti leaves powder was higher than that with 12g. The L- and a-values of Neuti-dduk were increased by decreasing the amount of Neuti leaves powder. The overall quality of the sensory examination of Neuti-dduk in relation to the amount of Neuti leaves powder had positive correlation with the moistness, but negative correlations with the L-value andmoisture content. (Eds note: would these 2 highlighted features not be related; if so, why does one have a positive and the other a negative correlation\ulcorner) From the results of these tests, the most desirable recipe for the Neuti-dduk was 8g of Neuti leaves powder, 20g of sugar, 45$m\ell$ of water and2g of salt, for every 200g of rice powder. The moisture content of this recipe was 42.18％.

주문진 표준사와 사우디 아라비아의 Ras Al Khair 사질토 입자의 형상에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 광학현미경을 사용하여 200배 확대하여 해상도 $640{\times}320$으로 디지털 이미지를 촬영하였다. 사질토 입자의 디지털 이미지를 영상 처리를 통해 입자 경계면의 좌표를 추출하였다. 추출한 입자의 경계면 좌표를 복소 평면에 도시하고, 극형식으로 변환 후 퓨리에 변환을 실시하였다. 퓨리에 변환을 통해 추출된 각각의 계수 값들은 입자 형상의 특징을 반영하며, 좌표의 기준점 이동에 대해 불변하는 값으로 사질토 입자의 이미지에 대해 좌표의 기준점과 회전등에 관계없이 항상 같은 값을 갖게 되어 입자의 형상 분석에 적합하다. 각각의 계수 값을 입자의 등가 반경으로 정규화하여 퓨리에 기술자를 추출하여 입자의 형상을 정량적으로 분석하였다. -3에서 +3의 범위에 해당되는 주요 퓨리에 기술자들을 분석한 결과 주문진 표준사 입자의 경우 신장(elongation)이 가장 두드러진 형상의 특징이었으며 그다음으로는 비대칭성(asymmetry)이 두드러진 특징이었다. Ras Al Khair 사질토의 형상도 주문진 표준사와 같은 형상 특징을 나타냈다. 또한 퓨리에 기술자 분석 결과 작은 구조가 전체 구조와 비슷한 형태로 되풀이되는 프랙탈의 미세구조 특성이 나타나는 것으로 판단되었다. 해상도 $640{\times}320$과 해상도 $160{\times}80$의 주문진 표준사의 디지털 이미지를 비교한 결과 -3에서 +3에 해당되는 주요 퓨리에 기술자에 대해서는 해상도가 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 텍스쳐 분석에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

In this work, the amine grafting treated activated carbons were studied for carbon dioxide adsorbent. The surfaces of activated carbon were functionalized by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, which was subsequently grafted with amine compounds tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine and tri-ethylenetetramine and subjected to comparison. The surface functional groups of the amine grafted activated carbons were characterized using XPS. The textural properties of the amine grafted activated carbons were analyzed by $N_2$/77 K isotherms. Carbon dioxide adsorption behaviors of the amine grafted activated carbons were examined via the amounts of carbon dioxide adsorption at 298 K and 1.0 atm. From the results, tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine grafted activated carbons showed 43.8 $cm^3$/g of carbon dioxide adsorption while non-treated activated carbons and triethylenetetramine grafted activated carbons showed less carbon dioxide adsorption. These results were thought to be due to the presence of isolated amine groups in the amine compounds. Tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine grafted activated carbons have basic features that result in the enhancement of adsorption capacity of the carbon dioxide molecules, which have an acidic feature.

Hierarchically porous, chemically activated carbon materials are readily derived from biomass using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and chemical activation processes. In this study, empty fruit bunches (EFB) were chosen as the carbon source due to their sustainability, high lignin-content, abundance, and low cost. The lignin content in the EFB was condensed and carbonized into a bulk non-porous solid via the HTC process, and then transformed into a hierarchical porous structure consisting of macro- and micropores by chemical activation. As confirmed by various characterization results, the optimum activation temperature for supercapacitor applications was determined to be $700^{\circ}C$. The enhanced capacitive performance is attributed to the textural property of the extremely high specific surface area of $2861.4m^2\;g^{-1}$. The prepared material exhibited hierarchical porosity and surface features with oxygen functionalities, such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, suitable for pseudocapacitance. Finally, the as-optimized nanoporous carbons exhibited remarkable capacitive performance, with a specific capacitance of $402.3F\;g^{-1}$ at $0.5A\;g^{-1}$, a good rate capability of 79.8% at current densities from $0.5A\;g^{-1}$ to $10A\;g^{-1}$, and excellent life cycle behavior of 10,000 cycles with 96.5% capacitance retention at $20A\;g^{-1}$.

$Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method using $Fe(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ and $Ti(SO_4)_2$ as raw materials. Structural and textural features of the mixed oxide samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray. The effects of initial concentration of oxytetracycline (OTC), different competitive ions and organics on the photocatalytic degradation rate of OTC by the $Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were analyzed under UV and visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the optimized initial concentration of OTC was 50 mg/L to achieve the best photocatalytic efficiency. $Cu^{2+}$, $NH_4{^+}$, $C_3H_8O$ and EDTA in the aqueous suspension were found to suppress the degradation rate of OTC, whereas the effect of $NO_3{^-}$ and $H_2C_2O_4$ can be ignored.

본 논문은 윤곽선만을 추출하여 캐리커처를 생성하던 기존의 시스템과 달리 음영을 윤곽선과 합성하여 캐리커처를 생성하는 캐리커처 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 이 방식을 사용할 경우 얼굴의 텍스추어 정보까지 생성시 고려하기 때문에 좀 더 실사형에 근접한 캐리커처를 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 벡터를 기만으로 하기 때문에 사이즈에 제한 없이 자유로운 변형이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 2D 캐릭터에 자유로운 표정을 적용하는 데에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다. 또, 벡터의 특징으로 인해 모바일 상에서도 적은 용량으로 이용 가능하다. 본 논문은 벡터 형태의 캐리커처를 생성하는 방법과 음영을 제작 및 합성하는 방법을 함께 제시한다.
