Image restoration based on the wavelet filter bank

Lee, Jong-soo,Kim, Ju-hun Research Institute for Science & Technology HONG-I 1997 Hongik Journal of Science and Technology Vol.1 No.-

In this paper, we propose a new way to restore a degraded image using the wavelet transform and filter banks. First, we device a degraded image into 4 subband images using UDWT(Undecimated Wavelets Transform), and then use a proper CLS(Constrained Least Square) filter in each subband. Using a proper CLS filter in each subband, we can save the high frequency components constained in the original images. To reduce the computational load, we propose an algorithm which reconstructs an image from the down-sampled subband images using the wavelet transform. This is a good tade-off between the ISNR(Inverse Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and the calculation time because it reduces the calculation loads significantly in contrast to the degradation in ISNR

Multiple gastrointestinal melanoma causing small bowel intussusception

Jian Yang Eng,Salehah Tahkin,Huzairi Yaacob,Nor Hayati Yunus,Ahmad Shan Wani Mohamed Sidek,Michael Pak-Kai Wong 대한대장항문학회 2023 Annals of Coloproctolgy Vol.39 No.1

A 61-year-old gentleman presented with small bowel intussusception from small bowel melanoma intussusceptum. He complains of intermittent abdominal distension but no history of intestinal obstruction. Apart from this, he was also symptomatic anemia which required repeated transfusion for the past few months. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen shows an omental mass with small bowel intussusception. He then underwent an exploratory laparotomy with segmental resection of the affected segment. Histopathological examination confirmed primary gastrointestinal melanoma. Multiple small bowel malignant melanoma is a rare disease. It remains a controversial diagnosis as it may be a primary or metastasis from an unidentified or regressed primary cutaneous melanoma. Prompt surgical intervention enables us to obtain tissue diagnosis, prevent complete intestinal obstruction and strategize the goals of treatment for the patient.

The Acquistion of english Prepositions by L1 Chinese Speakers

Eng, Wong Bee,Yoke, Soo Kum,Chong, Larry 한국영어어문교육학회 2004 영어어문교육 Vol.9 No.2

This study investigates the acquisition of English prepositions of location and direction by Malaysian Chinese ESL learners. It was conducted with the objective of fin- out which of the two types of prepositions was more problematic to the L1 Chinese learners. The study also sought to investigate the effect of age and proficiency levels in English on the acquisition of the English prepositions of location and direction by these learners. Additionally, the study sets out to determine the extent to which the L1 Chinese learners have acquired the English prepositions of location and direction. This study involved three groups of Chinese ESL learners: elementary, intermediate and advanced. They were selected based on their age and their performance on a standardized proficiency test. The instrument used to collect data was a preposition test comprising 85 items. These items on prepositions of location and direction were randomly arranged in the tasks. The test required subjects to respond to multiple choice questions, match given sentences with appropriate prepositions, fill in blanks with the appropriate prepositions, judge given sentences to see if they are grammatical or ungrammatical and correct the ungrammatical sentence by providing the appropriate prepositions. The results indicate that age and proficiency levels of the learners made a difference in the acquisition of English prepositions of location and direction. The older learners with higher proficiency levels seem to fare better than the younger and less proficient learners. The results suggest that the prepositions of location are slightly more problematic than prepositions of directions to the L1 Chinese lesrners. Our data also suggest that certain prepositions of each type are more problematic than others.

A Study of Magnetic Properties in $Fe_{73.9}Cu_{1.0}Nb_{3.5}Si_{14.0}B_{7.6}$ by Magnetic Annelaing

Kim, Eng-Chan,Kim, Jin-Eui,Nam, Hyo-Duk The Korean Institute of Electrical and Electronic 2000 Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Material Vol.1 No.3

The crystallographic and high frequency characteristics of $Fe_{73.9}Cu_{1.0}Nb_{3.5}Si_{14.0}B_{7.6}$ soft magnetic alloys were investigated under magnetic field annealing, The crystallization fraction of annealed samples with longitudinal magnetic fields is higher than that of samples without magnetic field. When the transverse magnetic field is applied, the crystallization fraction does not increases but decreases until $500^{circ}C$. It is found that for samples, the saturation induction are all same with 1.3 T. The coercive field of as-cast samples is 1.03 A/cm, but in annealed samples it decrease from 0.56 to 0.1A/cm with increasing annealing temperature from 400 to $550^{circ}C$. The squareness of annealed samples under transverse magnetic field has a small value than that of both without field and with longitudinal field annealing. It is noted that the magnetic field annealing with transverse direction to amorphous $Fe_{73.9}Cu_{1.0}Nb_{3.5}Si_{14.0}B_{7.6}$ profoundly influenced on the Mossbauer spectra in contrast to that with longitudinal direction and without magnetic field.

무선 신체 영역 네트워크 (WBAN)는 블루투스 활성화 장치 및 PDA와 같은 작고 가벼운 무선 시스템의 출현에 의해 가능하게 되었다. 안테나는 WBAN 시스템의 필수적인 부분입니다 및 기술적 요구 사항과 물리적 제약 여러 가지에, 자신의 디자인 및 배치의 주의 깊은 고려가 필요하다. 의류의 일부는 건강 관리 응용 프로그램에서 추적 및 네비게이션 등의 통신 기능을 제공하기 위해 본 논문은 착용할 수 있는 안테나의 디자인을 제안하고 있다. 착용할 수 있는 안테나의 기판은 착용할 수 있도록 하기 위해서 경량, 낮은 유지 보수, 눈에 거슬리지 않는 작은 크기로 만들도록 섬유 재료로 만든다 본 논문은 안테나 디자인 WBAN 요구 사항을 만족 하는지 확인하기 위해 섬유/기판의 유형을 포함하여 착용할 수 있는 안테나에 대한 다른 매개 변수의 영향을 조사한다. 안테나의특성 및 동작은 무선 표준 기술 및 시스템 요구 사항에 의해 설정된 사양을 준수 할 필요가 있다. 이것은 다양한 유닛의 송신 및 수신 주파수 대역을 적절하게 선택될 필요가 있다는 것을 의미한다. 인체에 노출 될 수 있는 힘의 레벨에 제한이 있기 때문에, 안테나 등의 RF 시스템의 구성 요소는 이러한 제한을 충족하도록 설계 되어야한다. 직접 전력 전송에 영향을 미치는 안테나 이득, 안전 지침 내에 전력 레벨을 보장하는 중요한 매개 변수이고 설계에 가장 중요하다. WBAN 안테나 및 장치와 인체 사이의 전자기 상호 작용은 또한 탐색 할 것이다. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) have been made possible by the emergence of small and lightweight wireless systems such as Bluetooth, enabled devices and PDAs. Antennas are an essential part of any WBAN system and due to various technical requirements and physical constraints, careful consideration of their design and deployment is needed. This paper is proposing on the design of wearable antenna as parts of clothing to serve communications functions, such as tracking and navigation in health care applications. The substrates of the wearable antennas will be made from textile materials and since it is wearable, it should have a small size, be light weight, low maintenance, and unobtrusive. This proposed paper will also investigate the influence of different parameters for wearable antenna including types of textile/substrate to ensure that the antenna design satisfies WBAN requirements. The characteristics and behavior of the antenna need to adhere to specifications set by wireless standards and system technology requirements. This means that the transmitting and receiving frequency bands of the various units need to be chosen accordingly. Since there are restrictions on the level of power to which the human body can be exposed to, the antenna as well as other RF system components must be designed to meet these restrictions. Antenna gain, which directly affects power transmitted, is a critical parameter in ensuring power levels fall within the safety guidelines and so will be of primary importance in the design. The electromagnetic interaction between WBAN antennas and devices and the human body will also be explored.
