  • Recently researches have been made on the client-side Web GIS, which can lessen the load of a server and provide users with intheractive geographic information. Howwever, the initial delay is the main drawback because of a high volume of geographic data and becausr the server does not associate spatial features with the map scale. Even when a complex spatial object is too small to be distinguished from a point by the naked eyes, it's complete data will be transmitted. This paper proposes a new effcient schema to reduce the response time and increase transmission effciency. Briefly speaking, "Transmit what can be seen" is the main idea. By exploiting the generalization algorithm, the proposed method allows the server to extract readable features from objects according to the display scale. Meanwhile, increasingly detailed map will be cached on the client. Therefore this method will contribute to the transmission efficiency of Web GISs.

  • Atomically-thin graphene is the ideal model system for studying nanoscale friction due to its intrinsic two-dimensional anisotropy. Here, we report the reduced nanoscale friction of epitaxial graphene on SiC, investigated with conductive-probe atomic force microscopy/friction force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum. The measured friction on a buffer layer was found to be 1/8 of that on a monolayer of epitaxial graphene. Conductive probe atomic force microscopy revealed a lower conductance on the buffer layer, compared to monolayer graphene. We associate this difference in friction with the difference in total lateral stiffness. Because bending stiffness is associated with flexural phonons in two-dimensional systems, nanoscale frictional energy should primarily dissipate through damping with the softest phonons. We investigated the influence of hydrogen intercalation on the nanoscale friction. We found that the friction decreased significantly after hydrogen intercalation, which is related to loose contact between the graphene and the substrate that results in a lower bending stiffness.

  • This paper is propose for some guidelines in making curriculum for the training of archivists for Koran records. This paper pays special attention to the revival of the culture of record-keeping tradition of our owns. Without it's revival, a blind introduction of archival sciences based on Western civilizations can be ended up another version of cultural and academic imperialism as such in the field of the record-management of Korean records. Rapidly growing information and computer technology of our owns must be incorporated in the making of archivist training programs. It proposes that the opening of archival science major as a department at the graduate school level is in the long run essential, yet that of an associate master degree program can be in real an alternative. A training of archivists is not just to produce of a technician but a crafts(wo)man who would be in the vanguard of the renaissance of the record-keeping culture in Korea.

  • This paper presents a new approach to the AFR (Air-to-Fuel Ratio) control problem, which is based on the wide-band oxygen sensor output. The dedicated nonlinear controller is based on the feedback lineaization technique. It is well known that the feedback linearizing control technique requires an exact model of the plant for the cancellation of plant nonlinearities. A sliding mode control scheme is applied which can effectively compensate the modeling uncertainties. The measurement time delay of an oxygen sensor limits the gain of the feedback controller. Hence, time delay compensation procedure is necessary for the improvement of control performance. The Smith predictor is adopted to compensate the effects of time delay. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controllers can effectively reduce the transient peaks of AFR in spite of fast tip-in and tip-out maneuvers of the throttle.

  • Purpose : The purpose of the study were to describe outcomes of CHP activities, and to evaluate the economic validity of CHP through a cost-benefit analysis. Method : The sample size was 272. Data were collected using a researcher developed questionnaire from November 1999 to March, 2000. Result : The mean age of CHPs was 39.6 (SD-36). In regard to marital status, 90.8% of the respondents were married. 72% of the CHPs had associate degree. Among CHP activities, providing medical services was 50%, followed by home care visits 20% and health promotion services 20%, preventive services 10%. Total costs per month incurred to CHP activities was \3,053,437($2,442.7). Total benefits per month was \6,711,525($5,369.2). Hence, net benefit was calculated as \3,658,089($2,926). Conclusion : Cost-benefit ratio was 2.20, which provides the evidence of the economic viability of CHP program. The result of cost-benefit analysis, however, would more strongly support the economic value of CHP if intangible benefits of CHP activities such as decreases in pain and suffering and increased quality of life, could be counted.

  • This paper addresses the issue of estimating regression function with errors in variables using wavelets. We adopt a nonparametric approach in assuming that the regression function has no specific parametric form, To account for errors in covariates deconvolution is involved in the construction of a new class of linear wavelet estimators. using the wavelet characterization of Besov spaces the question of regression estimation with Besov constraint can be reduced to a problem in a space of sequences. Rates of convergence are studied over Besov function classes $B_{spq}$ using $L_2$ error measure. It is shown that the rates of convergence depend on the smoothness s of the regression function and the decay rate of characteristic function of the contaminating error.

  • Little research on sensory study has been conducted from a marketing perspective and most of sensory studies have been done from a science perspective. Thus, this study examined wine sensory perceptions in the consumers' minds, which is how wine consumers associate grape variety Shiraz/ Syrah by the three different region of origins with specific sensory images. Total 234 questionnaires were collected from online wine community members at restaurants in Korea. The main results show that the most two shared sensory images of Shiraz/ Syrah were 'Dry' and 'Fruity' across the three region of origins. For Barossa Shiraz, the unique images were mainly found in Aroma image category such as 'Chocolate', 'Prune', whereas for Rhone Syrah, the unique images were mainly revealed in Overall image category e.g. 'Deep', 'Fascinating'. Additionally, this study confirmed that Maipo Valley is not recognizable region of origin of Shiraz/ Syrah. This study employed a free choice, Pick Any and conducted correspondence analysis to find out the degree of associations of sensory images and each region of origin.

  • Effective hydraulic conductivity of a statistically anisotropic heterogeneous medium is obtained for steady two-dimensional flows employing stochastic analysis. Flow equations are solved up to second order and the effective conductivity is obtained in a semi-analytic form depending only on the spatial correlation function and the anisotropy ratio of the hydraulic conductivity field, hence becoming a true intrinsic property independent of the flow field. Results are obtained using a statistically anisotropic Gaussian correlation function where the anisotropy is defined as the ratio of integral scales normal and parallel to the mean flow direction. Second order results indicate that the effective conductivity of an anisotropic medium is greater than that of an isotropic one when the anisotropy ratio is less than one and vice versa. It is also found that the effective conductivity has upper and lower bounds of the arithmetic and the harmonic mean conductivities.

  • Pathological conditions of Pacific oysters were surveyed in some coastal areas of Korea. Samples of 30 to 45 oysters were collected in Kamakman, Masan and in Gosung Bay. Protozoan includes gregarine-like organism, Marteilioides chungmuensis, Haplosporidium; ciliates Ancitrocoma and Metazoa (termatode, nematode, copepod) were observed in samples from most of the sampling areas. Marteilioides chungmuensis was found in all sampling sites. Protozoan, Halosporidium sp. and Ancistrocoma sp. occurred in oysters from Gosung Bay (year 2000) with very low prevalence. Trematode Gymnophalloides was frequently found in oysters from all studied areas. Inflammation was frequently observed in oysters infected with M. chungmuensis and Pseudomyicola. The damaged structures were found in digestive tubes of oysters infected by Halosporidium sp. and Pseudomyicola sp. Some of the parasites and pathological status could associate with the conditions of oysters and the environment.
