The present study was designed to examine fathers' awareness and practice of picture book reading with toddlers. The subjects were 221 fathers who have toddlers, and the data collected by questionnaires were analysed by mean and standard deviation, and frequency analysis. As a result, approximately 59% of fathers stated that it is essential to read to their children who are 12 month old or less, and 36% of fathers answered that they read books as much as their children wanted. The majority considered the emotional aspect of picture book reading as being significant. Also, nearly half (46%) of the fathers read books to their children 1-2 times per week, and 37% of them spent 6-10 minutes at a time reading books. While reading books, 60% of the fathers explained text and pictures to their children and a fourth of the fathers answered their children's questions. Also, while reading books, fathers tried to accept their toddlers' responses positively. However, they did not have much time to read books to their children and had little knowledge on how to read books to infants. Further research and education programs on picture book reading for fathers are needed.

This study aimed to investigate the semantic preview effect in the parafoveal processing of words that are presented in advance in the parafoveal area ahead of the fixation point, benefiting word processing in the fovea. Using the boundary technique in eye-tracking experiments, 25 Chinese-Korean bilinguals, whose native language is Chinese, were presented with 96 sentences that contained a mix of Chinese and Korean, where Korean words were associated with Chinese characters semantically. The study aimed to determine whether a semantic preview effect could be extracted in reading. The experimental sentences were divided into four conditions: the same Korean native word condition (e.g., "나라" meaning "country"), the same Korean word with semantic equivalent in Chinese condition (e.g., "국가" meaning "country"), the same Chinese condition with semantic equivalent in Korean (e.g., "国家" meaning "country"), and the unrelated Chinese condition to the target word (e.g., "围裙" meaning "apron"). The results showed a preview effect in both the Korean word and Chinese word conditions, with a larger preview effect observed in the Chinese word condition compared to the Korean word condition.

In this paper, a local DL (Data Line) sensing method with smaller parasitic capacitance replacing the previous distributed DB sensing method with large parasitic capacitance is proposed to reduce the time to transfer BL (Bit Line) voltage to DL in the read mode. A new BL switching circuit turning on NMOS switches faster is also proposed. Furthermore, the access time is reduced to 35.63ns from 40ns in the read mode and thus meets the requirement since BL node voltage is clamped at 0.6V by a DL clamping circuit instead of precharging the node to VDD-VT and a differential amplifier are used. The layout size of the designed 512Kb EEPROM memory IP based on a $0.13{\mu}m$ BCD is $923.4{\mu}m{\times}1150.96{\mu}m$ ($=1.063mm^2$).

최근 4세대(4G) 통신망으로의 전환의 가속화와 스마트 모바일 기기의 확산으로 인하여 무선 통신망에서 데이터 트래픽이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 급증하는 데이터 트래픽을 분산시키기 위하여 2개의 주파수 밴드를 사용하는 멀티 캐리어 기술이 선보이고 있다. 방송 디스크는 서버가 데이터베이스에 저장된 모든 데이터를 연속적으로 다수의 모바일 클라이언트에게 방송하고, 클라이언트는 방송 채널을 감시하여 원하는 데이터가 방송될 경우 방송 채널로부터 데이터를 수신하는 통신 구조이다. 이런 관점에서 방송 채널은 클라이언트가 데이터를 액세스할 수 있는 디스크의 역할을 담당한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 통신망이 멀티 캐리어를 지원할 경우, 클라이언트에서 실행되는 읽기 전용 트랜잭션의 정확성을 보장하기 위한 동시성 제어 기법(Dual-Channel based Concurrency Control: DCC)을 제안한다. 기존에 동시성 제어 기법들은 단일 방송채널에서 트랜잭션의 철회률을 줄이기 위하여 추가적인 제어 정보들을 방송하거나 방송 데이터의 타임스탬프 필드를 이용하고 있다. 클라이언트에서 실행되는 트랜잭션은 단일 방송 사이클이 아니라 여러 방송 사이클에 걸쳐서 실행된다. 이러한 방송 디스크 환경의 특징은 클라이언트 트랜잭션이 디스크에서 방송 인덱스를 판독하여 방송 프로그램 상에서 트랜잭션에 필요한 데이터가 방송 될 때까지 기다리게 된다. 이와는 달리 DCC는 주력 망과 보조 망에서 방송되는 방송 프로그램의 순서를 서로 다르게 하여 데이터 판독에 필요한 대기 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 보조망의 방송 프로그램의 순서는 주력망의 방송 프로그램 순서의 역순서로 방송함으로써 보조 망 또는 주력 망에서 실행되고 있는 트랜잭션이 다른 방송 채널의 방송 인덱스를 판독하지 않아도 방송 프로그램 순서를 예측할 수가 있다. 그 결과, DCC는 방송 디스크의 데이터 판독에 요구되는 대기시간을 줄여 읽기 전용 트랜잭션의 철회률을 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다.

The present study investigated the perceptual span(or the span of effective vision) of junior-high school students during reading Korean, using the material and the moving-window display change technique used in Choi & Koh(2009). The 8 different window sizes were used in the experiment. They were 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 characters in size and the whole line. Reading rate, number of fixation, saccadic distance, fixation duration were compared between each window-size condition and the whole line condition. Considering the pattern of eye-movement measures above, the size of the perceptual span of junior-high school students in Korean reading may be estimated to be 9 characters, that is 4 characters to the right and 1 characters to the left of the fixation.

This study investigated effects of elementary school students' use of smartphone upon not only reading but also self-regulated reading. The subject was 6th year students of elementary school. The study investigated the students by smartphone addict self-diagnosis, reading conditions and self-regulated reading test. The findings were: The students' ownership of smartphone and addiction had influence upon reading quantity, reading time and self-regulated reading, and had no influence upon time of use of smartphone. To help elementary school students make use of smartphone correctly and prevent smartphone addiction, the students should be educated at school and home, and also, proper way to teach students how to read books should be researched in the era of smartphone.

OneNAND flash is a high-performance hybrid flash memory that combines the advantages of both NAND flash and NOR flash. OneNAND flash has not only all virtues of NAND flash but also greatly enhanced read performance which is considered as a downside of NAND flash. As a result, it is widely used in mobile applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, PMP, and portable game players. However, most of the general purpose operating systems, such as Linux, can not exploit the read performance of OneNAND flash because of the restrictions imposed by their virtual memory system and block I/O architecture. In order to solve that problem, we suggest a new approach called virtual I/O segment. By using virtual I/O segment, the superior read performance of OneNAND flash can be exploited without modifying the existing block I/O architecture and MTD subsystem. Experiments by implementations show that this approach can reduce read latency of OneNAND flash as much as 54%.

In large distributed systems, replications of data and service are needed to decrease communication cost, increase availability, and avoid single server bottleneck. Tree Quorum protocol is a representative replication protocol, which exploits a logical structure. Tree quorum protocol is one of the replication protocols allowing low read cost only in the best case, while the number of replicas exponentially increases as the level grows. In this paper, thus, we propose a new replication protocol, called symmetric tree protocol which efficiently solves the problem. The proposed symmetric tree protocol also requires much smaller read cost than previous protocols. We conduct cost and availability analysis of the protocols, and the proposed protocol displays comparable read availability to the tree protocol using much smaller number of nodes. Also, the symmetric tree protocol has much smaller response time than the logarithmic protocol.

This study analyzed experimental studies of intervention programs provided to improve reading comprehension of elementary school students using a systematic review research method. Cochrane's handbook was applied, and key questions were formulated according to the PICOTS-SD. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to 1,610 papers searched in KCI, and the final 18 cases were selected for analysis. The risk of bias was evaluated using the 'RevMan5' tool provided by Cochrane. As a result of the evaluation, the risk of bias was low in most areas. And for the qualitative analysis of these papers, a data summary table was prepared. As a result, the types of intervention programs were diverse, and in many cases, upper grade students were applied. The size of the experimental group ranged from 6 to 29, and there were more QED-based studies than RCT-based studies. The most mediation time was 40 minutes, and the number of mediation sessions was 8 to 24. And in all studies, the intervention programs were found to be effective in improving reading comprehension.

This paper emphasizes the effect of using poetry in the University General English education and suggests the teaching method of English education with a Frost's poem, "Out, Out- ." These days, learner-centered English education and integrative study of four linguistic functions, reading, listening, speaking and writing are considered important in the University General English class. Poetry is very effective text for the education purposes. Poetry techniques like a visual image, rhythm, rhyme, or repetition are actually mnemonics and strongly connected to the enhancement of memory and oral linguistic function. This paper suggests the specific education methods in the poetry selection, pre-reading step, reading step and after- reading step with concrete examples of "Out, Out-." These education methods through the 'oral text' can be a good and sustainable model for learner-centered education.
