People observe lots of events around the environment and we can easily recognize the nature of an event from the resulting optic flow. The questions are how do people recognize events and what is the information in the optic flow that enables observers to recognize events. Motor theorists claim that human observers exhibit special sensitivity when perceiving events like speech or biological motion, because we both produce and perceive those events. However, direct perception theorists suggested that speech or biological motion is not special from the perception of all other kinds of event. The purpose of this review article is to address this controversy to critique the motor theory and to describe a direct realist approach to event perception. It is important to understand the fundamental information of how human perceive event perception for the convergence on robotics.

In this paper, we introduce a model of the teaching and learning method for multidisciplinary convergence capstone design at Kongju National University's Engineering Department. At Kongju national University, various capstone design works are designed and proceeded by multidisciplinary students at the summer session. The multidisciplinary approach described in this paper includes the involvement of five department's student who have not collaborated in capstone design experience. This study focuses on multidisciplinary capstone design education by using the micro controller board called Arduino Uno that consists of an assortment of sensors and actuators. The result of self-satisfaction survey was shown the meaningful teaching process for the engineering department students who could have more creative and industrial experiences. As a result, we are able to get the result of the possible directions for future technology education in the area of convergence multidisciplinary capstone design.

Big Data is now seen as a major asset in the company's competitiveness, its influence in the future is expected to grow. Companies that recognize the importance are already actively engaged with Big Data in product development and marketing, which are increasingly applied across sectors of society, including politics, sports. However, lack of knowledge of the system implementation and high costs are still a big obstacles to the introduction of Big Data and systems. It is an objective in this study to build a Big Data system, which is based on open source Hadoop and Hive among Big Data systems, utilizing POS sales data of small and medium-sized offline markets. This approach of convergence is expected to improve existing sales systems that have been simply focusing on profit and loss analysis. It will also be able to use it as the basis for the decisions of the executive to enable prediction of the consumption patterns of customer preference and demand in advance.

From the perspective of the artist who produces modern ornaments, I wanted to see the future of modern ornaments in the hyperconnected era. I would like to find a practical way of converging information communication technology, which is one of them, and applying nfc tag among them. For the practical approach, after looking at the actual examples of commercial ring products using nfc tag technology, I tried to find a practical method that can be applied to modern ornaments produced in the workshop. As a result, two realistic alternatives were drawn: the investment method, which is free to converge, but has limited technical utilization, and an assembly method that requires high convergence from the design planning stage. After then, to know investment methods, have been produced that may have problems with real applications. I made a real sample, not a concept, to explain the technical factors and precautions necessary for applying nfc technology.

The convergence social app manufacturing platform for both demander and developer in worldwide provides a collective collaborative development approach. This platform can bring enhanced productivity with exchange of views among participants. If the assessment is not fair that many participants will leave the collective collaborative project. The previous studies verified the reliability of the evaluation based on statistical techniques. Because the previous studies did not consider the task performance of participants, do not reflect the feature of project tasks. So, the contribution scores of the participants can be distorted. In this study, we suggest the method for evaluating the development contributions value. This is considered the task performance of participants and involved the method of equitable and consistency peer assessment.

Traditionally we consider the food and the medicine have common roots, that is, energies from them share the same source, and it brought us an unique food culture of our own, and nurtured an unique academic area of oriental medicated dietary therapy. Thus we devise chocolate based on oriental theory and western food and convergence prevention nutritional approach. The study analyzed and examined the nutritional composition, physical properties and analysis DPPH radical scvenging, total polyphenolic compound contents, total flavonoids contents of chocolate added with 5% tangerine peel powder(TPC). Total polyphenolic compound content of TPC was 394.1 mg GAE/100g and DPPH radical scvenging activity was 68.66% and total flavonoid content was 148.88 mg QE/100g. Antioxidative activity of TPC was significantly higher than that of come into the market milk chocolate(p<0.05). In sensory evaluation, significantly difference(p<0.05)of TPC were surface color, flavor, overall acceptance.

This study identified the important categories and items about evaluation criteria of e-learning quality assurance by comparing evaluation criteria between Korea and France case. For deriving the conclusion, this research analyzed the Korea quality assurance case which is consist of success or failure for evaluation of quality assurance, and built the generic quality model of e-learning evaluation criteria. A generic model about evaluation criteria, categories, and item of e-learning quality assurance, which should be reflected on French quality criteria, were developed based on statistical approach. This research suggests a evaluation criteria which can be applied to African and Asian countries, that are related to AUF, as well as Korea. The result of this study can be applied to all organizations around the world which prepare for e-learning quality assurance, and at the same time it will be a valuable resource for companies or institutions which want to be evaluated e-learning quality assurance.

This study was to identify the level of perception and practice of hospital infection control among nurses at geriatric hospitals for the convergent approach. Data were collected from October 29 to November 3, 2012, using hospital Infection control questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using a t-test, ANOVA and Correlation. The mean values of hospital infection control practice were lower than that of perception, the differences were statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences in the perception on age, education, existence of guidelines for infection control, and in the practice according to the existence of guidelines. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between perceptions of hospital infection control and practice. Therefore, it is necessary to provide continual opportunities for systematic, professional, and practical education, as well as to develop relevant programs aimed at improving the capacity of hospital infection control.

High-volume web sites often use clusters of servers with load balancing as a way to increase the performance, scalability, and availability of the sites. Load balancing, usually performed by load balancer in front of such clusters, is a technique to spread workload between several computers or resources, in order to get optimal resource utilization or response time. In this paper we examine the performance for several configurations of cluster-based web servers using a simulation approach. We investigate two types of buffering scheme (common and local) for web clusters and three load balancing policies (uniformly random, round robin, and least queue first), using response time as a performance measure. We also examine two basic approaches of scaling web clusters: adding more servers of same type or upgrading the capacity of the servers in the clusters.
