Recommender systems help users find their interesting items more easily or provide users with meaningful items based on their preferences. Collaborative filtering(CF) recommender systems, the most successful recommender system, use opinions of users to recommend for an active user who needs recommendation. That is, ratings which users have voted on items to indicate preference on them are the source for making recommendation. Although CF systems are designed only to use users' preferences as the source of recommendation, use of some available information is believed to increase both the performance and the accuracy of CF systems. In this paper, we propose a CF recommender system which utilizes both degree of match and demographic information(e.g., occupation, gender, age) to increase the performance and the accuracy. Since more and more information is accumulated in CF systems, it is important to reduce the data volume while maintaining the same or the higher level of accuracy. We used both degree of match and demographic information as criteria for reducing the data volume, thereby naturally enhancing the performance. It is shown that using degree of match improves the prediction accuracy too in CF systems and also that using some demographic information also results in better accuracy.

For the accurate generation of DEMs, the determination of match quality in adaptive least square matching algorithm is significantly important. Traditionally, only the degree of convergence of a solution matrix in least squares estimation has been considered for the determination of match quality. It is, however, not enough to determine the true match quality. This paper reports two approaches of match quality determination based on adaptive least square correlation : the conventional if-then logic approaches with scene geometry and correlation as additional quality measures; and, the fuzzy logic approaches. Through these, accurate decision of match quality will minimize the number of blunder and maximize the number of exact match. The proposed methods have been tested on JERS and SPOT images and the results show good performance.

This paper proposes penalty factor equations that take into consideration the weld strength over-match given in the classified form similar to the revised equations presented in the Code Case N-779 via cyclic elastic-plastic finite element analysis. It was found that the $K_e$ analysis data reflecting elastic follow-up can be consolidated by normalizing the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity ranges excluding the nonlinear thermal stress intensity component, $S_n$ to over-match degree of yield strength, $M_F$. For the effect of over-match on $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$, dispersion of the $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$ analysis data can be sharply reduced by dividing total stress intensity range, excluding local thermal stresses, $S_{p-lt}$ by $M_F$. Finally, the proposed equations were applied to the weld between the safe end and the piping of a pressurizer surge nozzle in pressurized water reactors in order to calculate a cumulative usage factor. The cumulative usage factor was then compared with those derived by the previous $K_e$ factor equations. The result shows that application of the proposed equations can significantly reduce conservatism of fatigue assessment using the previous $K_e$ factor equations.

The purpose of this study is to discuss how to introduce micro degree for innovation in convergence education in our university. To this end, the background of the introduction of micro and nano degrees and domestic and foreign applications were reviewed. The reason why the rate of students completing the multi-degree was low was that the credits required for graduation were higher than that of other domestic universities, and the difficulty of the courses offered in the convergence major did not match the students. In order to reduce the burden of students learning convergence subjects while acquiring new knowledge and skills, the introduction of a micro degree is considered to be an alternative to the current convergence education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect that completing long-term on-site training with varying grades of success had on the job satisfaction of former university students after obtaining employment. Although the grades themselves achieved during long-term on-site training did not directly affect job satisfaction, positive effects on job satisfaction were shown due to the mediating effects of job match and organizational commitment. The results of this study are as follows: First, it was found that employees who participated in long-term on-site training showed different results in belonging and attachment to their organizations according to their achievement. The higher the grades during long-term on-site training, the higher the degree of reported job match and organizational commitment, suggesting a positive correlation with job satisfaction. Therefore, long-term on-site training should not be operated as simply a program for temporary experiential learning, but instead should be optimized by companies and schools to motivate their students to achieve high grades for the purpose of their future job satisfaction.

Match cut is the montage technique that is widely used in the image media. This technique is versatile to generate the receivers a variety of meanings. In this article, the match cut shorts applied in the movie, Bram Stoker's Dracula, were analyzed based on the meanings occurred between the shorts. In addition, the analysis methods were based on the philosophical issues of Gilles Deleuze which had been analyzed focusing on the generation competency. Also, Francis Bacon's paintings, 'painting' (1946) and 'self-portrait' (1969) demonstrating similar meanings were compared to assist understanding. Upon the analyses of these two media, the meanings of 'becoming' that had the feature of nomadism between the shorts and occurred in the process of combined generation were analyzed. Therefore, match cut occurred in the image media was found to function to the receivers in a variety of ways and the degree of its utilization was not limited upon this analysis.

본 논문에서는 퍼지 트리플을 사용하는 내용 기반 이미지 검색 방법을 제안한다. 이미지 내 객체들 사이의 공간 관계는 내용 기반 이미지 검색을 위해 사용되는 주요한 속성들 중의 하나이다. 그러나, 기존의 트리플을 이용한 이미지 검색 시스템들은 개념 기반 검색 방법을 지원하지 못하고, 방향들 사이의 근사 정합을 처리하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 개념 기반 정합과 근사 정합을 지원하는 퍼지 트리플을 이용한 이미지 검색 방법을 제안한다. 개념 기반 정합을 위해서는 퍼지 소속성 집합으로 이루어진 시소러스가 사용되며, 근사 정합을 위해서는 방향들 사이의 관계를 정량화 하기 위한 k-weight 함수가 각각 이용된다. 이 두 가지 정합은 퍼지 트리플 간의 퍼지 정합을 통하여 균일하게 지원될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 또한, 개념 기반 정합과 근사 정합에 대한 검색 효과를 정량적으로 평가하는 작업을 수행한다. Abstract This paper proposes an inexact and a concept-based image match technique based on fuzzy triples. The most general method adopted to index and retrieve images based on this spatial structure may be triple framework. However, there are two significant drawbacks in this framework; one is that it can not support a concept-based image retrieval and the other is that it fails to deal with an inexact match among directions. To compensate these problems, we develope an image retrieval technique based on fuzzy triples to make the inexact and concept-based match possible. For the concept-based match, we employ a set of fuzzy membership functions structured like a thesaurus, whereas for the inexact match, we introduce k-weight functions to quantify the similarity between directions. In fuzzy triples, the two facilities are uniformly supported by fuzzy matching. In addition, we analyze the retrieval effectiveness of our framework regarding the degree of the conceptual matching and the inexact matching.

Objectives: We evaluated the learning objectives of dental hygiene courses based on Bloom's learning objectives, and analyze the degree of match with the dental hygienist's job for each detailed subject. Methods: The 5th edition of 'Dental hygiene and learning objectives' was analyzed by subject based on Bloom's cognitive domain classification from March 10 to April. In addition, the degree of match between the contents of the secondary job analysis of the dental hygienist and the learning objectives for each detailed subject were analyzed. Results: The total number of dental hygiene learning objectives was 2,975 (2,762 theory, 52 practice). Among the cognitive domains, the comprehension domain was the most common (79.8%), and the skill domain was very low (4.9%). In the job for each detailed subject of dental hygiene, the most frequently performed was 'dental prophylaxis and practice' with 103 subjects. Conclusions: Overall, dental hygiene learning objectives are mostly theory-oriented, so it is necessary to expand and improve in the direction related to the jobs that clinical dental hygienists perform in the field. In addition, it is necessary to continuously develop timely learning goals, and prepare active strategies for developing high-quality items.

In this paper, we apply the complementation principle of five prime substances to reduce the phase interference. The transmitter and receiver match the concepts of co-operative and conflict to the direct and indirect signals. The result shows we investigate the proposed network topology such as 5 prime substances (5 user networks). The key observation is that optimal symmetric degree of freedom (DoF) can be achieved for 5 user network with different channel coherence times by adaptively selecting the interference alignment scheme via controlling the alignment feasibility of the transmitted signals. Theoretical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed 5 user networks are well matched to the wireless mobile channel environment to achieve the symmetric DoF for different channel coherence times which ensures that the proposed networks are applicable for dense wireless network applications. Modulo 3 functionality in 5 user network topology makes it easier for the transmitter cooperation to achieve the DoF of 2/3 with the help of the interference alignment schemes.

For a sophisticated humanoid that explores and learns its environment and interacts with humans, anthropomorphic physical behavior is much desired. The human vision system orients each eye with three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) in the directions of horizontal, vertical and torsional axes. Thus, in order to accurately replicate human vision system, it is imperative to have a simulator with 3-DOF end-effector. We present a 3-DOF anthropomorphic oculomotor system that reproduces realistic human eye movements for human-sized humanoid applications. The parallel link architecture of the oculomotor system is sized and designed to match the performance capabilities of the human vision. In this paper, a biologically-inspired mechanical design and the structural kinematics of the prototype are described in detail. The motility of the prototype in each axis of rotation was replicated through computer simulation, while performance tests comparable to human eye movements were recorded.
