This paper illuminates the patterns of growth and declines in sizes of union membership in metal, chemical, financial, and auto transport sectors in three distinct periods during the last four decades from 1963 to 2003. This paper also calculates union densities in auto assembly, auto supply, and shipbuilding industries of the metal sector, cement, petroleum refining, and pharmaceutical industries of the chemical sector, private banking industry of the financial sector, and city bus industry of the auto transport sector. Such diversities in both sizes of union membership and union densities among sectors and industries turned out to be associated with attitudes and choices of employers and unions in interaction with sector- and industry-specific economic (growth stage and path), institutional (degrees of government intervention), and social (demographic features of employees and prevailing sizes of firms) environment. Such finding shows that theoretical reasonings on sizes of union membership and union densities across sectors and industries in advanced nations are also relevantly useful to analyze the Korean case.

Several bacterial strains utilizing crude oil as their sole carbon and energy source were isolated from marine environment polluted by crude oil. Among them, the selected strain 4A3 showed strong degradation activity for crude oil. This strain was identified as a Provindencia rettgeri 4A3 based on the morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics. The optimum cultural conditions was as follows; 26$^{\circ}C$ for temperature and 7.0 for initial pH. Additionally, the optimal concentration of sodium chloride was 2.0%, indicating that this strain was derived from sea water. The emulsifying activity of 4A3 was the highest after 3 days of cultivation under the condition of 2.0% sodium chloride, pH 7.0 and 26$^{\circ}C$. This strain had one cryptic plasmid in 7.0kb size.

PbTe thin films of high quality were deposited on HF-treated Si(100) substrates at various substrate temperature by pulsed laser deposition technique. XRD patterns showed that PbTe layers were well-crystallized to a cubic phase with (h00) preferred orientation with the substrate temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$. PbTe films could not form at substrate temperature above $400^{\circ}C$ because of reevaporation of the Pb. According to AFM image, the surface of films was composed of small granular crystals and flat matrix. According to the increase of substrate temperature, the grain size at film surface becomes larger. By Hall-effect measurement, the carrier concentration and Hall mobility of n-type PbTe films grown by $T_{sub}=300^{\circ}C$ were $3.68{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ and $148\;cm^2/Vs$, respectively.

As indicators of life quality have recently shown great improvement, early stage medical examination and health care patterns are usually preformed before diseases occur. Thus, hand acupuncture, as an alternative medicine to reflect these movements of preventative work and health care, is widely used these days. Therefore, in this paper, we measured the change of voice signals elements associated with heart by stimulating the heart A16 acupuncture point, and then we investigated possible improvements of cardiac function through analysis of cross-comparisons between measurements of cardiac changes. With this in mind, we collected voice samples associated with heart before and after stimulating the corresponding A16 acupuncture point, and we performed an experiment by applying the second formant bandwidth and Jitter. As result, stimulating the A16 acupuncture point results to lowering the second formant bandwidth and Jitter. The result has proven that using voice signal processing technology can help improvement of heart function.

All the urban planning process require land use informations, which should be obtained after through intensive investigation and accurate analysis about the past and current situations and conditions of a city. Until now, the generation of land use informations from remotely sensed imagery has had many limitation because of its spatial resolution. It is now expected that the availability of high resolution satellite imagery whose spatial resolution less than 10m will reduce these limitations. For the purpose of urban growth monitoring we must first establish a urban land use classification nomenclature. In this study, we would like to establish a land use nomenclature for land use classification using remotely sensed data, especially using KOMPSAT EOC imagery.

Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is the field of study that analyzes people's opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language Opinion mining and sentiment analysis(OMSA) as a research discipline has emerged during last 15 years and provides a methodology to computationally process the unstructured data mainly to extract opinions and identify their sentiments. The relatively new but fast growing research discipline has changed a lot during these years. This paper presents a scientometric analysis of research work done on OMSA during 2007-2016. For the literature analysis, research publications indexed in Web of Science (WoS) database are used as input data. The publication data is analyzed computationally to identify year-wise publication pattern, rate of growth of publications, research areas. More detailed manual analysis of the data is also performed to identify popular approaches (machine learning and lexcon-based) used in these publications, levels (documents, sentences or aspect-level) of sentiment analysis work done and major application areass of OMSA.

The robot imitates humans and recognizes the external environment and judges the situation. The robot is a machine that operates autonomously. Robots are divided into manufacturing robots and service robots. Service robots are classified as professional service robots and personal service robots. Because of the intensified competition of productivity in manufacturing industries, rising safety issues, low birth rate and aging, the robots industry is emerging. Recently, the robot industry is a complex of advanced technology fields, and it is attracting attention as a new industry where innovation potential and growth potential are promising. IT, BT, and NT related elements are fused and implemented, and the ripple effect is very large. Due to changes in social structure and life patterns, social interest in life extension and health is increasing. There is much interest in the medical field. Now the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is growing rapidly. It is necessary to secure global competitiveness through strengthening cooperation between large and small companies. We must combine R&D investment capability and marketing capability, which are advantages of large corporations, and robotic technology. We need to establish a cooperative model and secure global competitiveness through M&A.

Due to new social environment, expenditure on eating out has increased over the last few year, thereafter the food-tech industries have steadily grown as well. We have studied what variable would affect customer's choices when they plan to eat out or order in. There are two variables are taken into account to prove it. Firstly, it is climate changes, such as an amount of rainfall, snowfall and clouds. Secondly, it is days, such as seasons and holidays. Based on this, we looked up the SikSin user's behaviors patterns, then did analysis of the daily data provided by the Meteorological office. By the end of the study, it turned out that two variables, climate changes and days, both have a strong influence on customer's choices. It is considered that this research outcome will make contributions to small businesses founders who want to take the initiative, marketing managers and people who are engaged in the food-tech industry.

In proposing the concept of flow which focuses on experiencing the sites visited by Korean wave tourists as induced by drama or movies, this paper investigated role of involvement variables for Korean wave tourists in influencing flow construct of film sites. The involvement of Korean wave was found to operate as a mechanism by which challenge, skills, focused attention on site might be more organized or more actively experienced. This recognizes that there is clearly a need for making the FIT sites exposed much by any mix of various media. This study showed that challenges and skills influence enjoyment as output factor of flow film site visitors are assumed to participate the roles of film characters, experiencing the places and atmosphere. The degree of visitors' reflections in the film optimizes awareness of flow experiences on the site. Therefore, it is necessary to provide more detailed experiential program on the film sites with the wide variety of flow-related contents in the film.
