  • Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate users' intuitive stereotypes on non-touch gestures and establish the gesture dictionary that can be applied to gesture-based interaction designs. Background: Recently, the interaction based on non-touch gestures is emerging as an alternative for natural interactions between human and systems. However, in order for non-touch gestures to become a universe interaction method, the studies on what kinds of gestures are intuitive and effective should be prerequisite. Method: In this study, as applicable domains of non-touch gestures, four devices(i.e. TV, Audio, Computer, Car Navigation) and sixteen basic operations(i.e. power on/off, previous/next page, volume up/down, list up/down, zoom in/out, play, cancel, delete, search, mute, save) were drawn from both focus group interview and survey. Then, a user participatory design was performed. The participants were requested to design three gestures suitable to each operation in the devices, and they evaluated intuitiveness, memorability, convenience, and satisfaction of their derived gestures. Through the participatory design, agreement scores, frequencies and planning times of each distinguished gesture were measured. Results: The derived gestures were not different in terms of four devices. However, diverse but common gestures were derived in terms of kinds of operations. In special, manipulative gestures were suitable for all kinds of operations. On the contrary, semantic or descriptive gestures were proper to one-shot operations like power on/off, play, cancel or search. Conclusion: The touchless gesture dictionary was established by mapping intuitive and valuable gestures onto each operation. Application: The dictionary can be applied to interaction designs based on non-touch gestures. Moreover, it will be used as a basic reference for standardizing non-touch gestures.

  • DNN error is small compared to the conventional speech recognition system, DNN is difficult to parallel training, often the amount of calculations, and requires a large amount of data obtained. In this paper, we generate a phoneme unit to estimate the GMM parameters with each phoneme model parameters from the GMM to solve the problem efficiently. And it suggests ways to improve performance through clustering for a specific vocabulary to effectively apply them. To this end, using three types of word speech database was to have a DB build vocabulary model, the noise processing to extract feature with Warner filters were used in the speech recognition experiments. Results using the proposed method showed a 97.9% recognition rate in speech recognition. In this paper, additional studies are needed to improve the problems of improved over fitting.

  • Topoisomerase I (Topo I) participates in the DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Binding of Topo I inhibitor to the Topo I-DNA cleavage complex forms stabilized ternary complex which blocks DNA religation and ultimately causes cell death. Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives have been among the most effective anticancer drugs by inhibition of topo I. However, efforts to synthesize non-CPT drugs have been actively going on because the CPT derivatives have several limitations such as poor solubility, short half-life, and side effects. As an indenoisoquinoline, NSC314622 is not as potent as CPT, but its chemical stability and slower reversibility of the cleavage complex made it a good lead compound. Recently, a series of indenoisoquinoline analogues were synthesized with substituted dimethoxy or methylenedioxy on the aromatic ring and alkylamino on the lactam nitrogen. Some of them showed quite good Topo I inhibitory activity. Using the computer docking program, Surflex-Dock, indenoisoquinoline analogues were docked into the human Topo I-DNA cleavable complex. The docking results showed that the compounds with activity better than NSC314622 intercalated between the -1 and +1 base pairs at the cleavage site, but those with little or no activities did not appear to intercalate. These results could be useful to design new Topo I inhibitors improved than CPT.

  • Recently, the market size of hypermarkets in the domestic retail market accounts for a high percentage. The domestic retail market after the opening of the market for the past 1996 and grow to the spread of hypermarkets. However, events such as tasting events were increased due to intense competition among business condition as to attract more customers beyond price competition. Under these circumstances, it is important to examine the relationship of the factors associated with tasting events on consumer buying behavior. The impact on consumer buying behavior in order to verify factors tasting event by setting product standards study the relationship between variables was set up as a model. As result, only one came out significantly to pay the hypothesis of various products depending on the origin of the factors that increase the amount available. This is seen as a supermarket tasting event at the origin of products, and transparency, but also for recently imported foods for consumers who have negative thoughts, mainly domestic product tasting events Mart's sales continue to increase to attract more customers shall be deemed to be one way.

  • Handling precise timing in high-speed transceivers has always been a primary design target to achieve better performance. Many different approaches have been tried, and one of those is utilizing the beneficial nature of injection locking. Though the phenomenon was not intended for building integrated circuits at first, its coupling effect between neighboring oscillators has been utilized deliberately. Consequently, the dynamics of the injection-locked oscillator (ILO) have been explored, starting from R. Adler. As many aspects of the ILO were revealed, further studies followed to utilize the technique in practice, suggesting alternatives to the conventional frequency syntheses, which tend to be complicated and expensive. In this review, the historical analysis techniques from R. Adler are studied for better comprehension with proper notation of the variables, resulting in numerical results. In addition, how the timing jitter or phase noise in the ILO is attenuated from noise sources is presented in contrast to the clock generators based on the phase-locked loop (PLL). Although the ILO is very promising with higher cost effectiveness and better noise immunity than other schemes, unless correctly controlled or tuned, the promises above might not be realized. In order to present the favorable conditions, several strategies have been explored in diverse applications like frequency multiplication, data recovery, frequency division, clock distribution, etc. This paper reviews those research results for clock multiplication and data recovery in detail with their advantages and disadvantages they are referring to. Through this review, the readers will hopefully grasp the overall insight of the ILO, as well as its practical issues, in order to incorporate it on silicon successfully.

  • Internet shopping has been getting more rousing due to extension of supply with PC(personal computer) and a rapid rise of use of internet. Some companies have been continually researching in how to serve individuals with each ordered information, which aimed at getting ordinary customers to induce to be loyal customers. For that, there is progress of a service of a web-recommendation which considers individual attribution. This study is suggested a method which is a service of the web-recommendation by access to sensibility ergonomics approach. Previous studies established that service had a weak point. It did not manage to realize new needs of customers. Proposed service of the web-recommendation has been designed, which preferentially propose goods included customer's sensibility to the customer who wants it. This study is expected that it will encourage a rise of products' purchasing power of customers, make an increase in a profit of both sellers and people who operate electric commercial and satisfaction of customers will go up in the same. Also, products accord with sensibility of customers will be recommended customers by the suggested service of the web-recommendation. In addition, there will be a decline of time-consuming about making a choice among some products.

  • For designing the database more efficiently, normailzation can be enforced to minimize the degree of unnecessary data redundancy and contribute to enhance data integrity. However, deep normalization tends to provoke multiple way of schema join, which could then induces response time degradation. To mitigate this sort of side effect that the normalization could brought, a number of field studies we observed adopted the idea of denormalization. To measure whether denormalization contributes to response time improvement, we in this paper developed two different data models about customer service system, one with perfect normalization and the other with denormalization, and evaluated their query response time behaviors. Performance results show that normalization case consistently outperforms denormalization case in terms of response time. This study show that the idea of denormalization, quite rarely contributes to that sort of improvement due ironically to the unnecessary data redundancy.
