The level and motivational basis of consumer involvement have been recognized as having important effects on purchase behavior. To explore the importance of hedonic aspects of involvement upon consumer purchase behavior, survey data on involvement degree and type concerning 8 product classes from 388 respondents was analyzed. Major findings of this study are summarized as follow. First of all, hedonic factor is evidenced as an important component of consumer involvement. In addition, hedonic dimension of involvement is proved to have significant effects on consumer purchase behavior in general. Secondly, analysis of the difference in behavioral tendencies between purchasing product with hedonic value(coffee) and utilitarian motive(washing machine) shows that consumers have relatively high in degree of brand differentiation, brand commitment, product knowledge in purchasing product with hedonic value. This means that hedonic aspect of product and thus hedonic involvement has not less important in predicting consumer behavior. Finally, several interactive effects, which suppot to and conflict against the previous research findings, between level and type of involvement upon purchase behaviors are detacted. This implies that hedonically induced involvement has moderating roles in the effects of consumer involvement on purchase behavior.

The objective of the study was to analyze difference in cognitive function according to social isolation level in elderly Korean. The author classified the social isolation into the structural isolation and contact isolation. Structural isolation corresponded to the no spouse or no children and the contact isolation corresponded to the absence of contact with children, friends or social association. Author conducted multivariate regression analysis with the elderly people aged 65 years or older from the 5th wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing data. Number of sample was 3,971. It was confirmed that the level of cognitive function was lower according to level of social isolation. It was also confirmed that friends/neighborhood isolation, and social activity isolation showed significant relationships with cognitive functions. Based on the results, author suggested that to protect the elderly from negative effects of social isolation, we needed the policy to promote elderly's the participation in social activity. The study to analyze the factors related to social isolation was also needed.

In this paper, we propose a new dynamic reconfiguration method using application-level checkpointing in a grid computing environment with Cactus and Globus. The existing dynamic reconfiguration methods have been dependent on a specific hardware and operating system. But the proposed method performs a dynamic reconfiguration without supporting specific hardwares and operating systems and, an application is programmed without considering a dynamic reconfiguration. In the proposed method, the job starts with an initial configuration of Computing resources and the job restarts including new resources dynamically found at run-time. The proposed method determines whether to include the newly found idle sites by considering processor performance and available memory of the sites. Our method writes the intermediate results of the job on the disks using system-independent application-level checkpointing for real-time visualization during the job runs. After reconfiguring idle sites and idle processors newly found, the job resumes using checkpointing files. The proposed dynamic reconfiguration method is proved to be valid by decreasing total execution time In K*Grid.

기후변화의 영향으로 전세계적으로 이상 기후 및 자연재해가 증가하면서 재난을 효과적으로 관리하기 위한 법체계 및 제도에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 재난관리의 법과 제도적 측면에 대한 연구는 공학 및 기술적 연구에 비해 충분히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 특히 재난관리에 대해 많은 경험을 축적해온 선진국가의 재난관리체제에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 수준이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 영국의 재난관리체제를 법과 제도를 중심으로 분석하고 한국에 필요한 시사점을 도출한다. 영국의 재난관리 체제는 지방정부가 재난대응에 있어서 주도적인 역할을 수행하고 중앙정부는 대응 가이드라인을 제시하고 지원 및 조정업무를 수행하는 분산적 재난대응체제라 할 수 있다. 중앙정부에는 재해를 전담하는 조직이 별도로 구성되어 있지 않고 지방행정조직이 지역특정에 맞게 위기관리계획을 수립하고 집행한다. 지역별로는 지방정부, 기업, 시민단체로 구성된 민관협력체인 위기관리포럼을 형성하여 재난에 대처한다. 반면 한국의 재난대응체제는 중앙집권적이며 국민안전처가 재해전담조직으로서 역할을 하고 있으나 영국과 같은 민관협력체는 발달하지 않았다는 차이점을 발견할 수 있다. 영국과 한국의 재난관리체제를 비교해 볼 때 다음과 같은 법 제도적 개선방안을 제시할 수 있다. 첫째, 분산되어 있는 재난관리 기본법을 하나로 통폐합할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 지방정부의 재난대응권한을 강화해야 하며 특히 인력과 예산이 재난에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 수준으로 조정되어야 한다. 세째, 지방수준에서 재난대응 관련 기관들간 조정 및 협력을 할 수 있는 체제가 강화되어야 한다. 네째, 민간단체를 재난대응체제에 조직적으로 참여시킬 수 있도록 해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 주민단위의 방재조직이 공공부분과 효과적으로 협조할 수 있도록 할 수 있는 제도적 틀이 필요하다. 다섯째, 재난대응단계 설정에 있어 예방에 앞서 지역의 특성에 따라 예방업무를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있도록 진단하는 평가단계를 추가하는 것을 고려해야 한다.

Domestic maintenance strategies are shifting from safety assessment to performance assessment, and related systems and laws are being restructured to meet those criteria. In order to introduce asset management based on performance evaluation, related evaluation methods such as performance measures and level of service should be made to evaluate performance according to the characteristics of the structure, but these are not well-prepared in Korea. In this study, we present a computerized model and system for implementing asset management that introduces techniques such as performance evaluation, life cycle cost analysis, performance measures, and level of service in conjunction with existing maintenance and safety diagnosis procedures. The features of this system consist of three modules to enable separate operations of existing maintenance, safety management and asset management. The system is designed to be used as a reference for public institutions to introduce asset management in the future.

In order to establish fertilizing technique for the increase of grain yield and its stability, the total absorbed amount of nutrients and nutritional status of rice plants at different growth stages were studied with respect to the nutrient contents and its relation to grain yield and yield components. This experiment was carried at three different level of nitrogen fertilization; two different seeding and transplanting times, and eight cultivars including both Japonica-and Tongil-type. The results of a part of these experiments are summarized as fallows: 1. The culm length tended to Increase with increasing fertilizer amount, but no significant difference between ordinary and heavy fertilization was observed in Tongil-type cultivars. 2. The panicle length was some what longer in ordinary and heavy fertilization than non-fertilization. 3. As the N-fertilizer level increases, the number of panicles per plant increased with higher response in Japonica-type cultivars than in Tongil-type cultivars. 4. The number of grains per panicle increased significantly in ordinary and heavy fertilization, compared to non-fertilization, but the difference in grain number per panicle among fertilizer treatment was smaller in Japonica-type cultivars than Tongil-type. 5. The 1,000 grains weight showed no significant difference among fertilization levels in ordinary transplanting, but indicated gradual decreasing tendency as the transplanting delayed. 6. In percentage of ripeness, there was no significant difference in ordinary transplanting, but hightly significant in late transplanting among N-fertilization levels and cultivars. 7. In yield, highly significant difference was shown among N-fertilizer levels and cultivars In Tongil-type variety, higher yield was obtained in ordinary fertilization than heavy fertilization. 8. The straw weight showed the tendency to increase in higher nitrogen level, but no significant difference between ordinaly and heavy fertilization was observed in Tonsil-type cultivars.

The objective of this research was to determine the effects of harvesting frequency and fertilization levels on botanical composition, dry matter yield, and forage feed compositions of Alpine grassland at 800 m altitude. This research lasted for three years at National Alpine Agricultural Research Institute in Pyeongchang with two harvesting frequency schedules (two and three times annually) and two levels of fertilizer application (conventional level of fertilizer at 280-200-240 kg/ha and a lower level of fertilizer at 200-200-200 kg/ha for N, $P_2O_5$, and $K_2O$). Mixture combinations with seeding rate (kg/ha) were as follows: Orchardgrass 18, Tall fescue 9, Timothy 8, Kentucky bluegrass 3, and Ladino Clover 2. The gramineae ratio ranged from 93.2 to 95.3%. Therefore, gramineae forage was considered as the dominant plant in this experiment. No significant (p>0.05) difference was observed in forage dry matter yield between the two harvesting frequency treatments (two times at 9.8 ton/ha and three times at 8.6 ton/ha). However, forage dry matter yield in the two times of harvesting frequency tended to be greater than that in the three times of harvesting frequency. Significantly (p<0.05) higher forage dry matter yield in the standard fertilization level group than the lower fertilization level group (9.8 ton/ha vs. 8.7 ton/ha) was observed. However, there was no significant (p>0.05) difference in forage crude protein concentration between the two harvesting frequency treatment groups, although the concentration in the group with three times of harvesting frequency tended to be higher. In contrast, crude fiber concentration in the group with two times of harvesting frequency tended to be higher, although the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, and organic matter concentrations were not significantly (p>0.05) different between the two groups with different fertilization levels. Based on these results, it was concluded that the group with two times of harvesting frequency with conventional fertilization level might be proper for obtaining better forage productivity for Alpine grassland at 800 m altitude.
