As the government strengthens its policy of separating and discharging packaging materials, consumers are increasingly dissatisfied. In order to increase consumer participation in separate discharge policy of packaging materials, it is necessary to increase the willingness to participate by reducing potential consumer problems such as removal of packaging labels. This study conducted a survey of 300 consumers aged 14 and over who recycle and discharge directly from their homes. Ninety-nine percent of consumers said PET bottles are released separately. However, only 65% of consumers removed labels (attachment labels, shrink labels) and other materials (caps, vinyl coatings, tapes, handles, bases, etc.) during separate discharge process. Nearly 52% of consumers cited 'difficulty of separation' as the main reason for not removing labels and other materials. One-way ANOVA analysis showed that 'strong adhesion', 'removal initiation problem' and 'material strength' had high mean regardless of age, which are major factors impedes label removal. Using shrink labels with perforated lines rather than adhesive labels would be more beneficial to encouraging participation in separate discharge. However, if the shrink labels do not have perforated lines or are difficult to remove, adhesive labels are often easier to remove than shrink labels because of the strong cohesiveness of shrink labels. As a result, how easy it is for consumers to remove the label is more important than technological differences. In order to increase consumer participation in packaging material and label separations, improvements in structural design are needed along with the selection of materials that are easy to separate. This study is meaningful in examining consumer perceptions, deriving problems and suggesting directions for policy improvement.

As Internet and IT have been developed, people have been exposed to large amounts of information. So, many online information providers recommend relevant information to users to relieve an information overload. However, information recommendation which is based on the taste and preference of a user can lead to a problem of unbalanced information consumption. Prior research about online information has not investigated the side-effect of a recommendation function. This research suggests IT solutions for alleviating unbalanced information consumption behavior. Based on adaptation level theory and expectancy theory, we proposed self-reference point diagnosticity interface and social-reference point diagnosticity interface to help people to consume information following their own information consuming goal. We hypothesized positive impacts of these two interfaces on the self-awareness about information consuming pattern. And we predicted that self-awareness has a positive impact on the motivation and actual behavior to conform the ideal information consuming pattern which the user sets. Laboratory experiment was executed as a research method. As a result, the self-reference diagnosticity interface leaded to higher self-awareness and mitigated the unbalanced information consumption. But, the social-reference diagnosticity interface and the motivation to improve the information consuming behavior had no significant results. Academic and practical implications are discussed.

We analyze changes of consumption behavior for bundle services for the latest three years focusing on comparing the detailed service types and service providers to understand competition structure in the market. Our major findings and implications are as follows. First, the mobile telecommunication service is certainly deemed to be a major selection criteria for bundling service provider, therefore the leading company in the mobile telecommunication has become more significant market power. Second, IPTV has an important influence for slection of bundling service provider, lately in some cases, rather than broadband Internet. Third, the individual services affecting the selection of bundling service providers clearly showed differentiation among three operators as a mobile telecommunication service of SK Group, a broadband Internet of KT, and an IPTV of LGU+. In addition, the importance of individual services in securing subscribers has been increased as the preference factors to switch a service provider were synchronized with the decision of major bundling service provider. Finally, although it is difficult to find customers' lock-In due to the latest change of their intentions to switch a provider, we find it is continuously necessary to monitor customers' lock-in as there are more long-term customers with re-contracts. Our results provide the policy implications based on the change of competition structure and usage behavior in the bundle market which is not evaluated the competiton situation.

This study aims to establish a simulation method for CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) sight area. The simulation incorporates variables for computing CCTV sight area including CCTV specifications and installation. Currently CCTV is used for traffic, crime prevention and fire prevention by local governments. However, new locations are selected by administrator decision rather than analysis of the optimal location. In order to determine optimum location, a method to CCTV compute range is needed, which incorporates specifications according to CCTV purpose. For this purpose, limitations of previous research methods must be recognized and the simulation method must supplement these limitations. Here in this study, we derived CCTV sight area variables for realistic analysis to complement the limitations of previous studies. A total of eight elements were derived from image device sensors and installation: wide angle, height, angle, setting height, setting angle, and others. This research implemented a 3D simulation technique that can be applied to the derived factors and automate them using ArcObject and Visual C#. This simulation method can calculate sight range in accordance with CCTV specifications. Furthermore, when installing additional CCTVs, it can derive optimal allocation position. The results of this study will provide rational choices for specification selection and CCTV location by interagency collaborative projects.

This study was carried out to propose the criteria for the prediction of landslide occurrence through analysis the influence of each factor by using the quantification theory. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows. From a stepwise regression analysis between the landslide area($m^2$) and environmental factors, the factors strongly affecting the landslide sediment($m^2$) were the Parents rock (igneous), cross slope(complex), coniferous forests (forest type) and slope gradient ($21{\sim}30^{\circ}$). According to the range, it was shown in order of Cross slope (0.2922), Parents rock (0.2691), Forest type (0.2631) and Slope gradient (0.2312). The range of prediction score of landslide occurrence has been distributed between score 0 and score 1.0556, the median value was score 0.5278. The prediction for class I was over 0.7818, for class II was 0.5279 to 0.7917, for class III 0.2694 to 0.5278 and for class IV was below 0.2693. The prediction on landslide occurrence appeared relatively high accuracy rate as 72% for class I and II. Therefore, this score table for landslide will be very useful for judgement of dangerous slope.

This paper is study on the pressure monitoring system(PMS) for ship's engine performance analysis( SEPA) based on web, with high speed and accuracy. This system is composed of pressure sensor, monitoring module with multi channel A/D converter, TCP/IP and satellite internet communication system. Existing domestic products measure cylinder pressure when piston of first explosive cylinder reached TDC(the top dead center) point and then measure next cylinder pressure manually each angle divided by a constant rotating interval. But presented system monitors in the local and web computer, using pressure information transmitted from pressure sensor installed on each engine. In this system, it is possible to increase the accuracy of the engine performance analysis because not only each TDC points but cylinder pressures synchronized with the TDC points could be measured in real time, accurately. And therefore, it may be used in a various diagnosis of main engines, such as deviations of each cylinder maximum pressures(Pmax) and the TDC firing positions and combustion conditions.

In the movie <12 Angry Men>, the prejudiced gaze of each jury with the title of "reasonable discussion" or "positive critical rationality" based on the theory of public opinion of Habermas constantly appears. Prejudice is a concept that cannot be judged right or wrong in itself, but as a current social and historical atmosphere, it is judged to be a hindrance to communication in the process of communication and public opinion and often causes social problems. Therefore, in this paper, the concept of prejudice is ultimately investigated by projecting Habermas' theory of public sphere in the movie, looking into the prejudices, and examining the prejudice through the discussion of the jury, that is, the process of resolving the conflict. We are going to draw realistic implications through the mediator of film about how to solve problem of 'prejudice' in the real world. As a result of the study, Habermas' ideal public opinion on the 'consensus for the community' and 'universal rationality' according to the theory of public sphere in Habermas appeared in the film, but partially from the complete prejudice by the 'wall of reality' in the film. It has been found that freedom from prejudice is difficult and that prejudice is a necessary evil in terms of mutual understanding and publicity.

Yuso is the term for decorative tassels of a braided string which hangs a scroll painting. This study, drawing on extant research concerning the yuso made for Joseon period portrait scrolls of kings and meritorious retainers, focuses on the yuso created to hang literati portraits. Concretely, It examines yuso of seven portraits in the collection of the National Museum of Korea in order to characterize their appearance and determine their material composition. The study found that most of the yuso are sixteen-strand strings braided into a rounded cross-section(dongdahoe). The seven yuso, of which six are red and one indigo-blue, reflect the popular style associated with Joseon period literati portraits. The yuso for the portrait of Yun Geup(duksu 3503) is made from gilded paper. Analysis showed Fe particles present in a red pigment underlying the gold layer, suggesting the presence of red ochre(seokganju), an iron oxide mineral. The yuso of the portrait of Shin Im(duksu 4846) is used a paper which contains gold as well as traces of Pb, Hg and Ag. The paper in the yuso for the portrait of Yi Seongwon(bongwan 10122) mainly consisted of Ag, indicating silver paper having been used in its fabrication. The inner paper in the yuso of the portrait of Yi Seogu(sinsu 1065) is a leather combined with Ag, Fe, and Br, according to chemical analysis. The FTIR of the leather sample reveals that the spectrum in the fingerprint region is nearly identical to that of sheepskin, indicating the yuso was made from gold-coated sheepskin.

This paper examines the regional economic development policies of the Welsh Development Agency for attracting companies from the perspective of industrial location theory. The Welsh Development Agency has succeeded in attracting domestic or international capital, as a core actor for the regional economic development, and responded to the changing business environment and to the specific and various needs of the investors. The analysis of the Welsh case provides an important theoretical and practical implications. First, the Welsh case shows the importance of the role of the public sectors for the regional economic development. As the behavioral approach and the industrial location theory argue, the attraction of domestic or international capital led to the regional economic development. Second, the effective activities for attracting capital played an important role in the development. The quality and quantity of the information, in the industrial location theory, and the capacity of the business groups, in the behavioral approach, are significant factors of the development. Third, incentives by the Agency are also important. This finding not only supports the classical location model based on the cost and profits, but also the behavioral approach. Finally, the Welsh case could not succeeded in gaining regional economic competitiveness, even though attracting companies, by disregarding the industrial specialization strategy at the local level. This implies that we need to build industrial clusters. In sum, the behavioral approach has significant implications to the understanding of the public policies for attracting companies.

This study was performed to estimate the high-speed direct tensile strength(DTS1), low-speed direct tensile strength(DTS2) , indirect tensile strength(ITS) resilient modulus(MR) and stiffness index(SI) of sand asphalt mixture based on the absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity, penetration, softening point and PG grade of binder. DTS2 showed higher correlation with the physical properties than other properties of mixture, and the next was DTS1, ITS, SI and MR in order. Among binder properties, PG grade showed the highest relation with DTS2. Therefore. it was found that the high DTS mixture could be made when the binder with a high PG grade was used. However, since the individual physical property showed a relatively low correlation, various properties were used together in regression analysis. The estimation models of DTS and ITS were over 0.99, respectively. R2 of MR and SI estimation models were over 0.91 and 0.93, respectively. It was concluded that mechanical properties could be estimated with a high coefficient of determination from those physical properties.
