Previous studies of music, user interface, and human-computer interaction have used sounds which include musical structure rather than real music. This study investigated whether real music affects objective and perceived usability. Silence, sound, and music conditions were compared in experiment 1 (kimchi refrigerator) and 2 (remote controller for air conditioner). Participants' performances of reaction time and accuracy, and the degree of subjective satisfaction were analyzed. The results showed that main effects on task performances were not different significantly; however, perceived usability of music condition was better than sound condition, which was better than silence condition. It means that musical user interface improves perceived usability while not interfering task performance. This study provides a basis of emotional and aesthetic effects of music in home appliances design, and can be applied to studies for the blind. More specific guideline for the musical user interface can be drafted if further studies consider more various tasks, context, musical structure and types for the appliances.

Landscape around a settlement is not only a natural object, but also a matters of the man in the co-relation with his environment. Man perceives the landscape rational or sensible. Then it changes into the substance for him and influences him: as we see often in the folklore, that is of importance in the mind. Man reacts against his surroundings deceidedly, selfassurd or commonly, and uses sometimes the landscape to the elements for realization, physical or symbolical. Out of one character of korean villages, adaption to the circumstances, we can notice also its inner image, the reflection of the mind. Seeing and perceiving the environment emotional or reasonable and, reflecting and descreibing the inner self on the space. Here, the landscape and the nature are matter of the man, a scale for his ethical estimation or a mailer of the realization his mind. It is difficult, but important, such a immanent picture in(or of) the landscape to find. This is a preliminary study in such a way.

Microalgae has been seen all over the seawater and several species are used for human food. Specially, Nannochloropsis oculata, a photosynthetic microalgae, has been focused for a vast array of valuable nutritious compounds. In order to find high mass Nannochloropsis oculata culture conditions, some of important growth factors of pH, temperature, culture media, and $CO_2$ effect were tested. The optimal growth condition was found to be as follows : 3% artificial seawater, initial pH 8.5, and temperature $25^{\circ}C$. The alga mass and chlorophyll content were dramatically increased by applying 5% flue $CO_2$ gas (1.50 g/L algae in a continuous $CO_2$ flue; 0.76 g/L alga without $CO_2$). It was shown that the chlorophyll biosynthesis was also closely associated with alga growth.

The purpose of this study is to examine the problems of the regulations regarding the modification of subcontact price. It also suggests several measures to improve the regulations related to the subcontact price adjustment which help to reduce unnecessary claims and commercial disputes. The literature research, structure and context analysis on the subcontract regulation and survey are adopted as basic research methods. The primary findings of this study are summarized as the following: (1) A provision outlining necessary procedures that an owner and a contractor should notify a subcontract or the adjustment of contact price needs to be made. (2) A provision allowing procedures that subcontactor could make the alteration of subcontract agreement and adjustment of subcontact price needs to be made. (3) The terminology like a unit cost and the rate of contact price needs to be clearly defined in order to improve the criterions of the subcontact price adjustment. (4) The criterions and additional expenses that the contractors ate responsible far need to be defined.

This study emphasizes syntaxonomy and syndynamics of intermediate (Zwischen) moor (area: 14,000 $m^2$) at Mt. Shinbul in Yangsan, southeastern Korean Peninsula. A total of 105 vascular plant species including 26 monitor-species were recorded. Analysis by the $Z\"{u}rich$-Montpellier School's method distinguished eight vegetation units: Eleocharitis-Blyxetum echinospermae ass. nov., Eriocaulon sikokianum-Utricularia racemosa community, Eleocharis wichurai-Molinia japonica community, Platanthero-Molinietum japonicas, Miscanthus sinensis for. purpurascens community, Tripterygium regelii community, Symplocos chinensis-Quercus mongolica community, Symplocos chinensis-Quercus dentata community. PCoA (Principal Coordinates Analysis) shows that vegetation changes and distributional aspects are associated with both moisture condition and sunlight on the ground layer and soil nutrient level (mesotrophic to oligotrophic). Most important to Molinietea japonicas being representative intermediate moor vegetation at the southeasternmost fringe of the Korean Peninsula is the local cooling effect by mountainous cloud and mist zone resulting in shorter and wetter growing season. The Yangsan moor vegetation was compared with earlier descriptions of related Mujechi moor from anthropogenic and natural moor vegetations.

This study focused on accomplishment of successful life development after discharge a child-care facility even though they had a variety of diversity in hard environment on their own past. Furthermore the research analyzed expression progress and detail information of resilience effect on twenty healthy members of society, who lived theirselves for more than 10 years at out of chid-care centers, based on grounded theory methodology participants. As written in the result section of the study, using the paradigm model analysis showed that it was caused by 'Practical planning for the future', 'Organization of positive meaning' and 'Understanding in another's shoe'. The contextual condition appeared as 'Self examination, 'Seeking anchor as ontology' and 'Natural intimacy among family members'. The centralization phenomenon came in 'Living philosophy of internal stabilities'. The intervention condition appeared as 'Rise up through the world' and 'faith all the world'. The action-interaction showed up as 'Strict self-discipline' and 'Growing up own family'. The consequence appeared as 'Making social family' and 'Being a someone's social mentor'. This research shows discussion in depth based on above analyzed result.

토지이용 및 토지피복 변화는 인간의 활동에 따른 결과를 반영하며 자연환경의 변화와도 밀접한 관련이 있다. 수문환경의 변화는 수로 건설이나 하천정비, 사진개간, 도시화 등과 같은 인위적인 변화와 지구온난화에 따라 변화하는 기후 패턴에도 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 안성천 공도수위관측소 상류유역을 대상으로 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment) 모형을 이용하여 현재의 유역 수문환경조건을 보다 현실적으로 분석하기 위해 연구를 실시하였다. 유역의 수문환경 조건을 정량적으로 파악하기 위하여 CLUE-s 모형을 이용한 토지이용변화가 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 수문학적 거동(지표유출, 증발산량, 총유출량, 수질거동)에 미치는 영향을 SWAT모형을 이용하여 파악하고자 하였다. 안성천의 공도 수위관측소($366.5km^2$)을 대상으로 유역 내 3지점의 기상관측소(이천, 수원, 천안)를 대상으로 40년(1976~2015)동안의 일 기상자료를 수집하여 SWAT 모형을 구축하였다. 평년 및 가뭄년을 포함하는 선별된 기간에 대하여 다양한 목적함수($R^2$, NSE, RMSE)를 활용하여 일반적인 전체기간 검보정 방법이 아닌 각각의 조합된 기간의 극단적 유출특성에 초점을 맞추어 검보정을 수행하였다. 이와 같이, 앞서 실시한 연구로 모형의 매개변수들을 해당 유역에 가뭄과 같은 극단적 유출상황에 따라 선행보정 실시하였으며, 이는 이번 연구에서의 모형의 신뢰성 있는 수문 및 수질 거동 분석을 할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 선행 연구 자료를 이용하여 토지이용변화를 고려한 본 연구를 통해 미래의 유역 수문환경조건 변화에 따라 수자원을 정량적으로 파악하는 데에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Due to pandemic situations, the development of home robots that can make the house an optimized space for various activities is active. This study aims to confirm the effectiveness of approach or avoidance behavior for feedback positioning on the user experience, depending on the context in which the robot performs the task. Based on two types of the task contexts(Reactive vs. Proactive) and three types of robot feedback positioning(No move vs. Avoidance vs. Approach), six different scenarios were designed for experimental study. Likeability, perceived intelligence, rapport, negative attitude and predictability of behavior are measured for each conditions. The result showed the main effects of perceived intelligence, rapport, predictability in the context of tasks, and of likability, perceived intelligence, rapport in robot feedback positioning. The interaction effects were shown in likeability and perceived intelligence. In conclusion, approach-avoidance experiences can also be applied to robot behaviors as well, and the negative effects of avoidance have been significantly confirmed.

It is reported that genome-wide RNA-seq profiles has potential as biomarkers of aging. A number of researches achieved promising prediction performance based on gene expression profiles. We develop an age prediction method based on the transcriptome of human dermal fibroblasts by selecting a proper age interval. The proposed method executes multiple rules in a sequential manner and a rule utilizes a classifier and a regression model to determine whether a given test sample belongs to the target age interval of the rule. If a given test sample satisfies the selection condition of a rule, age is predicted from the associated target age interval. Our method predicts age to a mean absolute error of 5.7 years. Our method outperforms prior best performance of mean absolute error of 7.7 years achieved by an ensemble based prediction method. We observe that it is possible to predict age based on genome-wide RNA-seq profiles but prediction performance is not stable but varying with age.
