This study investigates the relationship between restaurants' environments and customer voluntary performance, and examines how restaurant value, quality and overall satisfaction play a mediating role between restaurants' environments and customer voluntary performance. In addition, this study investigates the structural relationships among restaurant's value, quality and overall satisfaction. For these purposes authors developed a structural model, which consists of several variables. The data were collected from 723 respondents and was analyzed with SPSS!PC+ 12.0 and LISREL 8.5. The findings are as follows. First, the menu characteristics have a significant positive influence on the value and quality of restaurants. Second, the employee service characteristics have a significant positive influence on the quality through mediating role of value variables. Third, the facilities/atmospheres have a significant positive effect on the value and quality of restaurants. Fourth, in-restaurant promotions have a significant positive effect on the value and quality of restaurants. Fifth, the customer value has a significant effect on the restaurant quality and overall satisfaction, and the restaurant quality has a significant effect on the overall satisfaction. Finally, the overall satisfaction has a significant effect on the customer loyalty, participation, and cooperation.

This paper analyzes the effects of national culture on an individual's ethical decision-making in the context of the Internet. An ethical decision-making model which posits that five moral philosophy variables-justice, relativism, egoism, utilitarianism, and deontology-affect ethical judgment; ethical judgment, in turn, affects behavioral intention was proposed and Hofstede's five cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation were used to analyze the effects of national culture on the model. The results showed that power distance, individualism, and masculinity had significant effects on the relationship between the deontology variable and ethical judgment, individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance had significant effects on the relationship between the justice variable and ethical judgment, and individualism and long-term orientation had significant effects on the relationship between ethical judgment and behavioral intention in the Internet context.

This paper describes the minimum cost design of prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) hem with rectangular section. The cost of construction as objective function which includes the costs of concrete, prestressing steel, non prestressing steel, and formwork is minimized. The design constraints include limits on the minimum deflection, flexural and shear strengths, in addition to ductility requirements, and upper-Lower bounds on design variables as stipulated by the specification. The optimization is carried out using the methods based on discretized continuum-type optimality criteria(DCOC). Based on Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions, the optimality criteria are explicitly derived in terms of the design variables - effective depth, eccentricity of prestressing steel and non prestressing steel ratio. The prestressing profile is prescribed by parabolic functions. In this paper the effective depth is considered to be freely-varying and one uniform for the entire multispan beam respectively. Also the maximum eccentricity of prestressing force is considered in every span. In order to show the applicability and efficiency of the derived algorithm, several numerical examples of PRC continuous beams are solved.

This study investigates the effects of Psidium guajava L. leaf (Pg), Lagerstroemia speciosa L. leaf (Ls) and mixture A (Pg, Ls, Morus indica L. leaf extract, Pinus densiflora needles extract, Acanthopanax senticosus M. root extract) on streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetes rats. For four weeks, STZ-diabetes rats were fed crystallized extracts of Pg, Ls, and mixture A. Compared to the diabetic control group, extracts of Pg, Ls, and mixture A decreased glucose levels in rats by 20%, 14% and 24% respectively. These extracts also decreased the level of total cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid, compared to the diabetic control group, while effectively increasing levels of insulin and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. These results showed that mixture A had greater antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and insulin-increasing effects than the Pg and Ls extracts. Mixture A also showed better restoration of damaged beta cell function compared to Pg and Ls extracts. Therefore, it was proved that mixture A provides a beneficial synergistic effect when compared with Pg and Ls extracts used individually.

The purpose of this study is to develop value instruction program which can deal with geographic value problem(GVP) in geographic education. This program is organized into seven stages: identification of GVP(reading of content of GVP, and categorization and description of action which involved in content), analysis of GVP(comparison and analysis of GVP, and ordering of value positions), decision making, justification of decision making and actualization. The processes of decision making and their related activities are emphasized in this program. In experimental classroom, it took effects to providing subjective experiences with students, developing decision making ability, and giving responsibility of decision making. Therefore this study suggests that this program helps students to improve their social participation ability as the democratic citizenship.

Present bonding methods which connect steel pipe and spread footing in pile foundation have been generally used. These methods however showed lots of difficulties in the quality control. A new bonding method, which is called 'Bolted Bonding Method(BBM)' , is developed. This method uses factory-made parts so that it may increase the degree of quality, and workability, and is being adopted in the Held concerned. The method is verified by the structural analysis and laboratory test and then a new design formula is proposed. In addition, a comparison test of the present methods and BBM are conducted to observe the applicability and economy of the latter. As results, it is observed that BBM shows 5 to 10 times faster in Held work and 9% to 50% cheaper in construction cost than the existing methods.

To clone genes related UK-58,852 production, genomic DNA of strain Actinodura roseorufa was used for the construction of genomic library using pOJ446 cosmid vector. The genomic library was screened rising dehydratase PCR product and eryA gene as a DNA hybridization probe. pHD54 was isolated, which contained an approximately 35kb of inserted DNA. BamHI, SmaI and sonicater fragments hybridized to eryA probe. All of pHD54 BgmHI, SmaI and sonicater fragments were subcloned into pGEM7 and some fragments which hybridized to eryA probe were sequenced. The nucleotide sequence was analysed using BLAST program. The sequence identities were observed in KS,AT, KR, ER and PKS loading domains. Also oxidoreductase showed similarity to rifamycin module10, and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6 dehydratase and TDP-D-glucose synthase involved in biosynthesis of sugar showed similarity to Streptomyces argillaceus.

This study aims to uncover sources of environmental learning from a student perspective using the previously unstudied case of South Korea. literature from other countries credits many sources of learning, including: media, school, personal sources, and non-governmental organizations. This analysis is based on focus group and questionnaire data collected during in-country field work. Results from South Korea are then compared with other studies carried out in the Asia-Pacific and the Western developed world. The results show that, similar to other countries including Australia, China, and India; South Korean students learn about the environment mainly through the media and schools. Television, schools, and domestic internet web pages were found to be some of the most-used sources of environmental information in South Korea, while more personal sources, such as community, family, and friends, were found to play an overall lesser instructive role. When compared internationally, South Korean students often exhibited less trust in the reliability of various sources, especially business, community, and foreign sources of information.
