  • 본 연구는 데스크탑 PC 환경에서 사용될 수 있는 다양한 적응형 메뉴 인터페이스의 사용성을 평가한다. 선택 빈도에 따라 자동으로 변화하는 2가지 방식의 Adaptive menu와 사용자가 메뉴 내에서 원하는 항목의 위치를 직접 변경하는 Adaptable menu의 사용성을 일반적으로 많이 이용되는 Traditional menu와 비교하기 위해 사용자를 동원한 평가 실험을 수행하였다. Adaptive menu에는 선택 빈도가 높은 메뉴 항목이 메뉴의 상단으로 이동하는 Adaptive split menu와 자주 선택되는 항목이 굵은 글씨로 표현되는 Adaptive style menu가 포함된다. 각 방식의 적응형 메뉴가 자주 선택되는 메뉴 항목의 변화에 따라 얼마나 민감하게 영향을 받는지 비교하기 위해, 두 개의 각기 다른 선택 빈도 분포가 이용되었다. 각 실험 조건 별로 사용자가 메뉴 항목을 선택하는 데 걸린 시간과 오류 회수를 측정하였으며, 피실험자로 하여금 시인성, 효율성, 전반적 선호도 등의 주관적인 만족도를 평가하도록 하였다. 각각의 종속 변수들은 분산 분석(ANOVA), Chi-square test, Friedman test 등의 기법을 이용해 분석되었다. 분석 결과, Adaptable menu가 다른 방식의 메뉴들에 비해 수행도와 만족도 모두 높은 것으로 나타났으며, Adaptive split menu는 상대적으로 현실적인 조건 하에서 큰 효용을 갖지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. Adaptive style menu는 수행도 측면에서는 일반적인 메뉴와 큰 차이가 없었지만, 자주 선택되는 항목을 쉽게 파악할 수 있게 해 주고, 선택 빈도의 변화에도 민감하지 않기 때문에 사용자들에게 선호되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 데스크탑 PC의 적응형 메뉴 설계에 대한 이용될 수 있으며, 추후 휴대용 정보기기의 적응형 메뉴에 대한 사용성 연구의 기초 자료로도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • A moving picture in online game is one of major ways to advertise online games, which gives a lot of help in playing game. In this case, a moving picture is compressed to variable bit rate for efficient storage use and network resource efficiency. Adaptable bandwidth allocation technique builds a transmission plan of a game moving picture. And, then some frames are discarded when transmission rate by the transmission plan is larger than available transmission rate, until transmission rate satisfies available transmission rate. Thus, performance evaluation factors in adaptable bandwidth allocation technique may be dependent on discarding order of a frame which transmission rate is much influenced. In this paper, in order to show the performance, a CBA algorithm, an MCBA algorithm, an MVBA algorithm, [6] and [7] algorithm were applied to a transmission plan in the adaptable band width allocation technique using various frame discard methods and performance evaluation factors were compared in among smoothing algorithms.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop protective clothing that could alleviate fall impacts. Fall impact protection pants for elderly women were designed, and motion adaptable hip pads and knee pads printed by 3D printing were integrated into the pants and evaluated. First, the design of the fall impact protection pants with variable motion was semi-loose fitting pants that could be worn and detached from the protective pad. A pad pocket was made in the lining inside the pants so that the protective pad could be fixed to the protective area. Second, in the evaluation of the appearance of the fall impact protection pants, the wearer group had a good score of 4.60 or higher for all questions on color, material, ease, and fit. In the evaluation of the insertion method of the protective pad, the flexibility of the pad, and the weight of the pad, the subjects' scores were 4.30~4.80. The fit of the fall impact protection pants was excellent in the texture and elasticity of the outside and inside of the pants. There was no discomfort due to the pad(4.60), and no difficulty in movement during wearing activities was reported. During squatting, it was evaluated as 4.80, indicating that the motion adaptable hip joint and knee pads were highly effective during operation.

  • The elderly population is rapidly increasing worldwide, but many face challenges in using digital tools like the Internet due to health and incapacity issues. Existing online search user interfaces (UIs) often overlook the specific usability needs of the elderly. This study proposes an adaptable web search UI model for the elderly, based on their perspectives, to enhance search performance and usability. The proposed UI model is evaluated through comparative usability testing with 20 participants, comparing it to the Google search UI. Effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction are measured using task completion time, error rate, and subjective preferences. The results show significant differences (p > 0.05) between the proposed web search UI model and the Google search UI. The proposed UI model achieves higher subjective satisfaction levels, indicating better alignment with the needs and preferences of elderly users. It also reduces task completion time, indicating improved efficiency, and decreases the error rate, suggesting enhanced effectiveness. These findings emphasize the importance of considering the unique usability needs of the elderly when designing search UIs. The proposed adaptable web search UI model offers a promising approach to enhance the digital experiences of elderly users. This study lays the groundwork for further development and refinement of adaptable web search UI models that cater to the specific needs of elderly users, enabling designers to create more inclusive and user-friendly search interfaces for the growing elderly population.

  • The reusability problems in the existing object-oriented development method and component development method is the problem that should be also resolved in the mobile development. Changing the function in mobile applications need to upgrade the entire mobile application, which can cause problems in mobile application in conjunction with other applications within the device. Thus, the changable functions in mobile application should be developed by considering their reusability. In this paper, we propose the customization technique that can be improved reusability for a variety of requirements of mobile application. We propose the self-adaptable customization technique that can change dynamically for the function to require changes by applying the data variability among variabilities.

  • Winter mushroom, Flammulina velutipes, needs low temperature during its cultivation. To save on farm costs, especially during summer, a strain adaptable to a higher or elevated-temperature must be developed. At the start of breeding program, parental strains which could endure high temperature were obtained. Seuenty four dikaryotic strains were collected and divided into four groups according to the nature of temperature. They also had different fruiting temperature. Finally we selected three brown strains ASI 4048, 4057 and 4072, and collected their spores. These selected strains can germinate even at a high temperature of $32^{\circ}C$, which were dramatically higher than the other strains. Based on these results, the new white strain adapted to mid-temperature by backcross mating was developed. Molecular markers were applied to select white fruitbody producing strains without cultivation. They showed a specific band which co-segregated with brown fruitbody forming strains in $BC_1F_1$ progenies. Selected white strains were tested under several elevated temperature conditions.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze how the human body having more muscles than its degree-of-freedom modulates an effective stiffness using redundant actuation, and to apply this concept to the design and control of advanced machines which requires adaptable spring. To investigate the adaptable stiffness phenomenon due to redundant actuation in the human body, this paper derives a general stiffness model of the Human body. In particular, for a planar 1 DOF human arm model, a planar 2 DOF human arm model, a spherical 3 DOF shoulder model, a 4 DOF human arm model, and a 7 DOF human arm model, the required nonlinear geometry ad the number of required actuator for successful modulation of the effective stiffness are analyzed along with a load distribution method for modulation of the required stiffness of such systems. Secondly, the concept of motion frequency modulation is introduced to show the usefulness of adaptive stiffness modulation. The motion frequency modulation represents a control of stiffness and / or inertia properties of systems. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, simulations are performed for 2 DOF anthropomorphic robot.

  • This paper presents a new dynamically adaptable polling scheme for efficient support of real-time traffic over an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN network. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF. However, the current version of the polling list management scheme proposed in the IEEE802.11 standard is inefficient when a variable number of mobile stations have variable packets to transmit. If Point Coordinator(PC) has an exact information on the station status, it is possible to efficiently perform polling. In this thesis. we suggest an adaptable polling scheme to meet requirements of the stations. In our scheme, each station transmits packets including a piggyback information to inform that it wants to receive a poll in the next polling duration. Simulation results indicate that our scheme may reduces the packet discard ratio and real-time packet transfer delay.
