The study tested a hybrid model with constructs drawn from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory in order to examine the moderating effect of productivity and relative advantage (RA) on perceived usefulness (PU) vis-à-vis electronic information resources (EIR) adoption in private university libraries in Ogun and Osun States of Nigeria. The descriptive research design was adopted in the study. The population consisted of 61 (55.0%) librarians and 50 (45.0%) library officers (totaling 116—100%) in Babcock University, Bells University, Covenant University, Bowen University, Oduduwa University, and Redeemer's University. Purposive sampling procedure was adopted after which total enumeration was used since the total population is small. The questionnaire was used for data collection. Of the 116 copies of the questionnaire administered, 111 (95.7%) were found usable. The instrument was structured based on a 4-point Likert agreement scale of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics like tables of frequency counts and percentage. The findings revealed that productivity and relative advantage are significant moderators of perceived usefulness of EIR adoption in private university libraries in Ogun and Osun States, Nigeria.

This research is centered on the adoption and evolution of Building Information Modeling Execution Plans (BEPs) and Employer's Information Requirements (EIRs) within the Japanese construction sector. Presently, these pivotal documents have not been comprehensively integrated into the Japanese industry, lacking a uniform standard. Addressing this gap, our study investigates the development of an automated system designed to generate optimal BEPs and EIRs, informed by project summaries and survey data. The system's development leverages insights from successful international BEP and EIR models, adapting these to align with the specific requirements of Japanese construction projects. It is tailored to facilitate key processes, including the assessment of BIM-capable personnel and the elucidation of BIM objectives within these projects. The objective of this research is to formulate actionable guidelines and tools that advance the implementation and effectiveness of BIM in Japan. By streamlining the generation of BEPs and EIRs, the system is expected to enrich BIM comprehension and application in the national construction landscape. This initiative not only serves the immediate needs of the local industry but also harmonizes global BIM methodologies with Japanese practices. In sum, this study contributes significantly to the refinement of BIM practices in Japan, promoting a more knowledgeable and efficient approach to construction project management.

The amplification method using evanescent wave coupling has a long history and has been widely used as a new lasing method, especially, in the waveguide optics$^{(1)}$ . In particular, it has been observed experimentally that when the light wave propagating in a dielectric medium is totally reflected at the planar interface between the dielectric and a pumped active medium, the reflectance may be greater than unity, i.e., amplification is possible$^{(2)}$ . There were several attempts by other authors to explain this enhanced internal reflection (EIR) classically$^{(3)}$ . They commonly introduced a complex refractive index for the active medium with its imaginary part being negative, and this scheme was also used to describe an amplification process in a waveguide having active-cladding region$^{(4)}$ . However these theories are phenomenological, using macroscopic constants, and therefore a microscopic theory is needed to understand EIR in a fundamental level. (omitted)

Purpose: Spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis (SIR) has been increasing in recent years and accounts for a large proportion of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis (EIR). The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical features between SIR and non-spinning exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis (NSIR), and to analyze each of these clinical features. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients treated due to EIR from January 2006 to March 2018. Patients were divided into the SIR and NSIR groups, and their clinical factors, outcome, and blood chemistries were compared and analyzed. Results: Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study, with 23 (37.1%) and 39 (62.9%) patients categorized in the SIR and NSIR groups, respectively. The SIR group were mostly women (78.3% vs. 38.5%, p=0.002), more frequent EIR occurrence in the first exercise class (60.9% vs. 15.4%, p=0.001), and had most complaints of thigh pain (91.3% vs. 43.6%, p=0.001). The SIR group had a higher incidence rate despite its shorter exercise duration (90.5% vs. 62.9%, p=0.024), longer hospital stay (6.0 [4.5-7.0] vs. 5.0 [3.5-6.0] days, p=0.080), and higher rate of peak CPK (15,000 U/L or higher) (91.3% vs. 74.4%, p=0.182) compared to the NSIR group. Conclusions: SIR occurs at a higher rate during the first exercise class in women compared to NSIR, and the incidence rate is higher in SIR than in NSIR despite its shorter exercise duration (less than 60 minutes). It is necessary to recognize these risks during spinning exercises and to perform these exercises sequentially and systematically.

The fire accident cases of several countries such as Korea, Japan, United States, etc., were collected and compared statistically. The trends of fire accidents in several countries will help us establish detailed plans for fire protection and reduce the possible fire accidents in the future. For construction of data base system, the program FADS was developed, which is operable in Windows environment.

This study analyzed whether the ontology-based information-searching model affected the ability of students to effectively search for meaningful information to carry out their projects. The experiment results illustrated that the amount of relevant information sought by the ontology-based information retrieval (OIR) method was significantly greater than that of the existing information retrieval (EIR) method. In addition, the relevance rate of the bookmarked documents sought by the OIR method was significantly greater than that of the EIR method. Interviews showed that the OIR model was helpful for students to effectively find information and thus, it helped them to complete the project more easily. Furthermore, the OIR model was beneficial for them to understand the subordinate concepts and their relationships for an important learning concept. The results of this study indicate that the OIR model could be used as a supplementary learning tool for project-based learning.

We propose a current-mode analog programmable finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter with variable tap circuits. From the circuit simulation, the operation of the 7- tap FIR filter is confirmed. We design and fabricate the 0.0625-step tap circuit using 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. The proposed FIR filter has a variable length of taps and variable coefficients, so it has a potential for being used to software defined radio (SDR) terminals.

FR과 ATM은 서로 다른 트래픽 파라메타를 사용하기 때문에 연동하기 위해서는 트래픽 파라메타를 서로 변환하는 기능이 필요하다. 변환식 FR과 ATM을 경유하면서 종단 단말간의 서비스 품질이 보장되고 또한 망 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있어야 한다. 변환식에는 여러 조합이 고려된다. 즉 FR/ATM 연동 방식에서는 망 연동과 서비스 연동으로 구분되고, 망 연동에서 다중화 방식에 따라 1-새-1과 N-to-1 방식이 가능하다. 또 FR 트래픽은 ATM에서 CBR, VBR, GFR 등의 ATC로 대응시킬 수 있고, 각 ATC는 CLP에 따른 대역의 조합 구성이 가능하다. ATM 대역 계산에서도 FR 연결의 최대 대역을 AR 또는 CIR+EIR로 사용할 수 있다. 기존 ITU-T 방식은 서비스 연동만으로 제한하였고, ATM Forum 방식은 가능한 방법을 나열함으로써 연동 시스템 간의 기능 차이에 의한 선택이 어렵다. 또한 변환식을 실제로 적용하기 위해서는 기존 방식에서 고찰되지 않은 많은 문제점들이 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 기존 방식을 고찰하고, 최근의 연구 및 기술 동향을 반영한 변환 방식을 제안하고, 가상 AR 적용과 운용시의 변환식 선택 및 고려할 점 등에 대하여 기술한다.

설비고장의 불확실성을 고려하여 송전계통의 공급신뢰도 특성을 명확하게 나타낼 수 있는 곡선을 제안하였다. 송전계통의 공급신뢰도 특성곡선은 송전계통에서 $T_{Total}$ 기간동안 발생한 공급지장 유발고장의 수나 각각의 경우에 대한 공급지장전력, 고장지속시간 등 설비고장의 불확실성에 상관없이 공급지장전력, 고장지속시간, 공급지장에너지간의 관계를 $y=ax^{-1}$ 형태의 곡선으로 나타낸 것이다. 송전계통의 공급신뢰도 특성곡선은 계통규모(년도별, 국가별)에 상관없이 동일한 모양을 가지게 되는데, Energy Impact of Reliability(EIR) 등을 확률론적 공급신뢰도 기준으로 사용함으로써 동등한 조건에서 계통규모 및 신뢰도 수준을 절대적으로 비교할 수 있는 신뢰도 지표로 활용할 수 있다.
