The purpose of this study was to identify the Kolb's learning style and preference for instructional methods of undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected from 174 students at a university in D city using a structured questionnaire from October 19 to October 21 2015. Learning style ratio of nursing students was accommodator 34.5%, converger 33.9%, assimilator 16.1%, diverger 15.5% and preference scores for instructional methods were discussion 7.27, direct instruction 7.26, peer teaching 7.22, independent study 6.54, project 6.25, instruction through technology 5.77, game 5.45, simulation 4.23. A significant difference was found in experience of flipped learning between four learning styles groups of nursing students. However, there was no significant difference in the preference of instructional methods between the four learning styles groups. Most of the students were in the middle range of the learning styles. The assessment of nursing students' learning styles is expected to help educator to plan teaching strategies.

This paper is concerned with an important aspect of regional income convergence, ${\beta}$-convergence, which refers to the negative relationship between initial income levels and income growth rates of regions over a period of time. The common research framework on ${\beta}$-convergence which is based on OLS regression models has two drawbacks. First, it ignores spatially autocorrelated residuals. Second, it does not provide any way of exploring spatial heterogeneity across regions in terms of ${\beta}$-convergence. Given that empirical studies on ${\beta}$-convergence need to be edified by spatial data analysis, this paper aims to: (1) provide a critical review of empirical studies on ${\beta}$-convergence from a spatial perspective; (2) investigate spatio-temporal income dynamics across the U.S. labor market areas for the last 30 years (1969-1999) by fitting spatial regression models and applying bivariate ESDA techniques. The major findings are as follows. First, the hypothesis of ${\beta}$-convergence was only partially evidenced, and the trend substantively varied across sub-periods. Second, a SAR model indicated that ${\beta}$-coefficient for the entire period was not significant at the 99％ confidence level, which may lead to a conclusion that there is no statistical evidence of regional income convergence in the US over the last three decades. Third, the results from bivariate ESDA techniques and a GWR model report that there was a substantive level of spatial heterogeneity in the catch-up process, and suggested possible spatial regimes. It was also observed that the sub-periods showed a substantial level of spatio-temporal heterogeneity in ${\beta}$-convergence: the catch-up scenario in a spatial sense was least pronounced during the 1980s.

In this paper, the method of processing a blurred noisy signal has been researched. The conventional method of processing signal has faults which are slow-convergence speed and long time-consuming process at the singular point and in the ill condition. There is the process, the Gauss-Seidel's method to remove these faults, but it takes too much time because it processes signal repeatedly. For overcoming the faults, this paper shows a signal process method which takes shorter than the Tikhnov-Miller's by comparing the Tikhnov-Miller's with proposed algorithm and accelerating convergence speed at the singular point in the ill condition. In this paper, the conventional process method and proposed optimal algorithm were used to get a standard image (256 ＊ 256 ＊ 8bits),and then the results are simulated and compared each other in order to examine the variance of MSE ( Mean-Square Error ) by the acceleration parameter in the proposed two dimensional signal procedures. The result of the signal process and the processing time was measured at all change of acceleration parameter in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A GPS measurement solution, in general, is obtained as a least squares solution since the measurement includes errors such as clock errors, ionospheric and tropospheric delays, multipath effect etc. Because of the nonlinearity of the measurement equation, we utilize the nonlinear Newton algorithm to obtain a least squares solution, or mostly, use its linearized algorithm which is more convenient and effective. In this study we developed a fixed point algorithm and proved its availability to replace the nonlinear Newton algorithm and the linearized algorithm. A nonlinear Newton algorithm and a linearized algorithm have the advantage of fast convergence, while their initial values have to be near the unknown solution. On the contrary, the fixed point algorithm provides more reliable but slower convergence even if the initial values are quite far from the solution. Therefore, two types of algorithms may be combined to achieve better performance.

An 8192-point pipelined FFT/IFFT processor core is designed, which can be used in multi-carrier modulation systems such as DUf-based VDSL modem and OFDM-based DVB system. In order to improve the signal-to-quantization-noise ratio (SQNR) of FFT/IFFT results, two-step convergent block floating-point (TS_CBFP) scaling is employed. Since the proposed TS_CBFP scaling does not require additional buffer memory, it reduces memory as much as about 80% when compared with conventional CBFP methods, resulting in area-and power-efficient implementation. The SQNR of about 60-㏈ is achieved with 10-bit input, 14-bit internal data and twiddle factors, and 16-bit output. The core synthesized using 0.25-$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS library has about 76,300 gates, 390K bits RAM, and twiddle factor ROM of 39K bits. Simulation results show that it can safely operate up to 50-㎒ clock frequency at 2.5-V supply, resulting that a 8192-point FFT/IFFT can be computed every 164-${\mu}\textrm{s}$. It was verified by Xilinx FPGA implementation.

신뢰할 만한 이동 에이전트 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 이동 에이전트의 결함 내성 기능이 중요하다. 지금까지 여러 결함 내성 기법이 제안되었는데, 그 중의 하나가 검사점 기법이다. 에이전트의 중간 상태를 저장하는 검사점 기법은 에이전트 복제 기법에 비해 훨씬 적은 비용을 보장하는 반면, 검사점이 저장된 사이트의 결함 발생 시 에이전트 실행이 일시 또는 영구히 중지되는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 k-결함 허용 검사점 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법에서는 에이전트 이동 경로에 저장된 검사점을 관리하는 관찰자들을 두어, 에이전트 실행 사이트의 결함 발생 시 관찰자간의 여론 수렴 과정을 통해 결함에 영향을 받지 않은 최근 검사점으로부터 에이전트의 실행을 재개시킨다.

1,200.deg.C에서의 단조철은 점소성을 나타내며 인발과 압출시 변형영역이 구형수렴형태가 됨을 실험을 통하여 나타난다. 이 변형역 모델로부터 평형방정식을 사용하여 평균 압출 및 인발응력과 정수압을 계산해 낸다. 평균 압출 및 임발응력은 상계 해석 방법에 의한 결과와 비교하여 본 연구의 해석방법의 유효성을 타진하고 정수압은 다른 연구자들의 결과와 비교 검토되며 특히 냉간가공의 경우와 비교 검토 된다. 그 외에 마찰계수, 급형각도와 단면감소율의 영향에 대해서도 논의 된다.

뉴런의 입력단에 연결된 저항은 하드웨어 구현 시 필요하다고 알려져 있으나 어떤 영향을 미치는 가에 대한 것은 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 다만, 회로망의 안정성과 수렴하는 속도에 부분적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 논문에서는 입력단에 연결된 저항이 신경회로망의 평형점 위치 및 평형점 특성에 미치는 영향 등을 분석하였다.

지난 2004년 10월 13일$\~$14일 이틀동안 상해에서 '파렛트 표준화 세미나'가 열렸다. 이번 세미나의 주요 사항은 빠른 시간내에 중국에서 파렛트 풀 시스템이 설립되어야 한다는 중국 내 물류 전문가들의 공통된 의견이 수렴되었다는 점이다. 이에 한국과 일본의 대표자들은 파렛트풀의 설립을 우해서는 파렛트 표준화가 선결되어야 한다는 것과, ISO 6780 규격에 새롭게 표준 파렛트 자격을 얻은 1,100mmx1,100mm 파렛트가 아시아에서 선두 주자인 한국과 일본의 표준 규격이므로 중국도 이러한 점을 주지하면서 파렛트 표준화 작업을 하여야 할 것을 역설하였고 중국의 대표자들 또한 이에 동의를 표시하게 된 의미있는 세미나 였다.
