This paper presents a method for improving the performance of ISF coefficients quantizer through compensating the defect of the split structure vector quantization using the ordering property of ISF coefficients. And design the ISF coefficients quantizer for wideband speech codec using proposed method. The wideband speech codec uses split structure vector quantizer which could not use the correlation between ISF coefficients fully to reduce complexity and the size of codebook. The proposed algorithm uses the ordering property of ISF coefficients to overcome the defect. Using the ordering property, the codebook redundancy could be figured out. The codebook redundancy is replaced by the adaptive-extended codebook to improve the performance of the quantizer through using the ordering property, ISF coefficient prediction and interpolation of existing codebook. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows that the adaptive-extended codebook algorithm could get about 2 bit gains in comparison with the existing split structure ISF quantizer of AMR-WB (G.722.2) in the points of spectral distortion.

This study was carried out to classify vegetation structure of the southern and northern slopes in the Deogyusan National Park using TWINSPAN classification and DCCA ordination analysis. The vegetation on the southern slope was classified into Quercus mongolica community, Q. serrata community, Q. variabillis community, Pinus densiflora community, Carpinus laxiflora community, Cornus controversa community and Fraxinus mandshurica community. The vegetation on the northern slope was classified into Q. mongolica community, Q. serrata community, P. densiflora community, C. laxiflora community, Betula davurica community, C. controversa community, F. mandshurica community, B. costata community, Abies koreana community and Taxus cuspidata community. To find out important value in each slope, we took 103 districts on the southern slope and 137 districts on the northern slope. As the result, Q. mongolica was highest value in the southern and northern slopes, followed by P. densiflora, Q. serrata, Q. variabillis, Styrax obassia, Acer pseudosieboldianum in the southern slope, F. mandshurica, A. pseudosieboldianum, Q. serrata, C. laxiflora, C. controversa, C. cordata, Rhododendron schlippenbachii in the northern slope. Species distribution and ecological features had differences between the southern and northern slopes communities. As the result of DCCA ordination analysis, sea level and water availability had high correlation with community distribution. Besides, T-N, O.M., exchangeable Ca and pH did in the southern slope. And exchangeable Ca, pH also did in the northern slope.

The Gilan-Cheongsong area, which is in contact with Yeongyang and Uiseong Blocks of Gyeongsang Basin, Korea, consists of Precambrian metamorphic rocks, Triassic Cheongsong granite, Cretaceous sedimentary rocks(Iljik, Hupyeongdong, Jeomgok Formations), and Cretaceous igneous rocks(andesite, quartz porphyry, felsite). In this area are developed faults trending in (W)NW, NNW, ENE, NS, (N)NE directions which are representative in the Gyeongsang Basin. We analyzed the geometric and kinematic characteristics of fracture systems to inquire into movement history and sense of these faults in this area. This study suggests that these faults were mainly strike-slip movement. The orientations of fracture sets show ENE, NNW, (W)NW, (N)NE, NS in descending order of frequency. Their prolongation presents (W)NW, NNW, ENE, (N)NE, NS in descending order of predominance, and also agrees with that of faults in this area. The development sequence and movement sense of fracture sets are summarized as follows; (1) (W)NW: dextral shearing $\rightarrow$ (2) (W)NW and NNW: conjugate shearing(the former: dextral, the latter: sinistral) $\rightarrow$ (3) NNW: dextral shearing $\rightarrow$ (4) (W)NW: sinistral shearing $\rightarrow$ (5) ENE: dextral shearing $\rightarrow$ (6) ENE and NS: conjugate shearing(the former: sinistral, the latter: dextral) $\rightarrow$ (7) (N)NE: sinistral shearing, and this result is closely associated with the development sequence and movement sense of faults developed in this area.

As the marketing value of Facebook advertisements increases, companies seek to create successful Facebook advertisements in order to promote their brands or products. This research aims to identify Facebook advertising factors that influence users' eye movements and attention, and thereby to investigate effective visual elements of Facebook advertising contents. Firstly, we identified two contributing factors influencing users' responses to Facebook advertisements: the formats of advertising contents(Text, Text in Image, and Movie) and the product properties(Involvement, Think/Feel). Based on theoretical reviews, eye tracking tests and surveys were conducted in order to examine how these two factors affect users' responses on Facebook, i.e. visual perception and users' purchasing responses. It was found that there were distinctive patterns of users' visual perceptions and purchasing behavioral responses according to the formats of the advertised contents. Meanwhile, the advertised products' properties influenced only the users' purchasing responses. Finally, the key findings of this research offer helpful guidelines for providers and developers to create effective SNS advertisements.

The purpose of this research is to perform reading based on their levels of reading readiness for different groups of readers, to develop the Book Talk Show program which was dependent on the philosophies and emotions on reconstructed topics of the concerned books by Talk, Music, and Video Shows, enabled communal sharing of the effects of reading, to provide an evaluation tool of such applications in real readings, and to evaluate the validity and usefulness of the devised program scheme. At first, the concept of "Book Talk Shows" was established on the base of the definition of Talk, Music, and Video Shows, then the program was applied to the readers across 4 different Book Talk Shows, and examined its problems and any possible revisions. At the same time, the survey was conducted on 39 experts and professional in the field of Book Talk Show management[31 people(79.5%) provided answers to the survey) on the validity and usefulness of the devised program scheme. The Results of survey showed that 27 people(87.1% of the people who provided answers to the survey) said that these suggestions were "very valuable and useful" and 24 people from this group(88.9%) said that they would like to "apply" such program designs to their own programs. However, the vast majority of the recipients said that they would face problems of 'budget' and 'readiness' when applying such program design, and emphasized the importance of budget assurance in developing and applying future models in Book Talks Show programs.

The purpose of this study was to examine how college students use Facebook and the ways in which they feel of commitment while using Facebook. The Big Five Personality Model has been considerably used in the psychology fields, and the researchers have started to explore the role of characteristic factors in influencing an individual's use of social media, such as Facebook which has become one of the most popular social networking site in the world. Therefore, the current study aims to specify the links between The Big Five Personality Model and usage patterns as well as commitment of Facebook. Two hundreds thirty five college students participated in a survey and the results are as follows: First, participants who were high in extraversion and agreeableness were more likely to do information sharing activities such as sharing posts to their friends, writing comments on the other's posts. In addition, participants who were high in openness to experience, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were more likely to do information producing activities including offering events, group, or public pages to meet people both on and offline. Second, in terms of the relationship between personality traits and commitment to the Facebook, the study found that extraversion and neuroticism were related to users' commitment to Facebook. These findings are consistent with the existing literature regarding extraversion and neuroticism were representative personality factors when it comes to commitment of media. Specifically, the study found that those who were high in neuroticism were more likely to produce information such as posting photos repeatedly or tagging their friends on posts, and also more likely to feel commitment on Facebook. These findings confirm that personality is a highly relevant factor in determining individual's behavior and the degree of commitment on Facebook. Based on these findings implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

Social media which includes Facebook enable users to construct relationships and networks as well as sharing of information. By enlisting Facebook users as proxy, this paper attempted to analyze the different emotional states experienced by social media users, specifically to gauge what effect their usage motivation and usage pattern had on the ambivalence level of the users. The quantitative survey result revealed that usage duration or the time of day when Facebook was accessed had no relevant impact on one's ambivalence level. However, there was a direct correlation between frequency of Facebook usage and the ambivalence level. The more the user logged onto Facebook the more suppressed his or her expression became due to fear of giving negative impressions to others and also receiving their negative feedbacks, which then subsequently added to the user's ambivalence. People's main reasons for using Facebook were identified as "chatting," "communicating," "maintaining relationships," "relationship building," "networking," and "finding information about friends," but only "maintaining relationships," "communicating," and "networking" had observable effect on ambivalence. There were no noticeable differences among genders with regards to ambivalence and usage levels, but there was a marked difference based on the user's age. For example, people in their forties showed higher levels of ambivalence than those in their twenties. This may be attributed to anxiety they face as they use Facebook primarily to expand their networks and to maintain relationships. As such, it is surmised that their fatigue level from using social media will only increase. Meanwhile, Korean Facebook user's emotional manifestation tended to skew toward relation-involved ambivalence rather than the self-defensive type. This relation-involved ambivalence might be something that can actually help prevent damage to relationships by limiting excessive emotional expressions. In other words, such ambivalence by Facebook users may be a positive element in a user's social media interaction.
