  • Energy efficiency and safe mobility are the two key constituents of the future automobile. The technologies that enable these features are now heavily dependent upon information and communication technology rather than traditional auto-mechanical technology. This paper presents an exploratory project 'Smart&Green Vehicle Project' at Western Michigan University which is to improve the geographical location accuracy of vehicles and to study various applications of making such location data available. Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Navigation System (INS), Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) technology, and data fusion among these technologies are investigated. Testing and evaluation is done on systems which will gather vehicular positioning data during GPS signal loss. Vehicles in urban settings do not acquire accurate positioning data from GPS alone; therefore there is a need for exploration into technology that can assist GPS in urban settings. The goal of this project is to improve the accuracy of positioning data during a loss of GPS signal. Controlled experiments are performed to gather data which aided in assessing the feasibility of these technologies for use in vehicular platforms.

  • Purpose - As the well-known Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm implies, risk structure of a corporation may affect its risk management activity and the activity may in turn determine its performance. Depending on its goal, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can shape its risk structure, risk management and its performance. Under this assumption, we investigate the relationship between the goals of FDI and risk management for the first time in academics. Design/methodology - This empirical research uses a survey of 279 current Korean enterprises' FDIs in China with the recently developed business risk quadrant model. Companies are classified into either a market- or an efficiency-seeking group, to identify how each group perceives and manages risks, and values the performance of risk management. Also, we apply integrated risk management method that multinational corporations have introduced in China, then verify the mediating effect between risk factors and performance. Findings - Our research shows the FDIs can expose themselves to differing risk structure although risk management activities simply represent the level of empowerment given to local management by headquarter due to limit of sample size despite diversity of risk and risk management tools. To sum, market seekers are found to have more strategic risk (revenue related risk) than efficiency seekers with financial risk (cost related risk). The market seekers can manage their risk by empowering their local organisation while the efficiency does the opposite ways. The risk management appears to be successful in general. Originality/value - Previous studies on small and medium enterprises' FDIs to China have concentrated on the analysis of entry determinants, withdrawal factors and individual risk management. Meanwhile, this research establishes enterprise-wide risk factors faced by the companies that advance into China, according to the method of the classification by ERM and verifies if they could synthetically improve performance through risk corresponding measures.

  • The interplay between hedonic and utilitarian attributes has assumed special significance in recent years; it has been proposed that consumption offerings should be viewed as experiences that stimulate both cognitions and feelings rather than as mere products or services. This research builds on previous work on hedonic versus utilitarian benefits, regulatory focus theory, customer satisfaction to address two question: (1) Is the shopping goal at the point of purchase different from the shopping value? and (2) Is the customer loyalty after the use different from the shopping value and shopping goal? We surveyed 345 peoples those who have bought the electronic-goods within 6 months. This research dealt with the shopping value which is consisted of 2 types, hedonic and utilitarian. Those who pursue the hedonic shopping value may prefer the pleasure of purchasing experience to the product itself. They tend to prefer atmosphere, arousal of the shopping experience. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "hedonic" to refer to their aesthetic, experiential and enjoyment-related value. On the contrary, Those who pursue the utilitarian shopping value may prefer the reasonable buying. It may be more functional. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "utilitarian" to refer to the functional, instrumental, and practical value of consumption offerings. Holbrook(1999) notes that consumer value is an experience that results from the consumption of such benefits. In the context of cell phones for example, the phone's battery life and sound volume are utilitarian benefits, whereas aesthetic appeal from its shape and color are hedonic benefits. Likewise, in the case of a car, fuel economics and safety are utilitarian benefits whereas the sunroof and the luxurious interior are hedonic benefits. The shopping goals are consisted of the promotion focus goal and the prevention focus goal, based on the self-regulatory focus theory. The promotion focus is characterized into focusing ideal self because they are oriented to wishes and vision. The promotion focused individuals are tend to be more risk taking. They are more sensitive to hope and achievement. On the contrary, the prevention focused individuals are characterized into focusing the responsibilities because they are oriented to safety. The prevention focused individuals are tend to be more risk avoiding. We wanted to test the relation among the shopping value, shopping goal and customer loyalty. Customers show the positive or negative feelings comparing with the expectation level which customers have at the point of the purchase. If the result were bigger than the expectation, customers may feel positive feeling such as delight or satisfaction and they would want to share their feelings with other people. And they want to buy those products again in the future time. There is converging evidence that the types of goals consumers expect to be fulfilled by the utilitarian dimension of a product are different from those they seek from the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004). Specifically, whereas consumers expect the fulfillment of product prevention goals on the utilitarian dimension, they expect the fulfillment of promotion goals on the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan, and Majahan 2007; Higgins 1997, 2001) According to the regulatory focus theory, prevention goals are those that ought to be met. Fulfillment of prevention goals in the context of product consumption eliminates or significantly reduces the probability of a painful experience, thus making consumers experience emotions that result from fulfillment of prevention goals such as confidence and securities. On the contrary, fulfillment of promotion goals are those that a person aspires to meet, such as "looking cool" or "being sophisticated." Fulfillment of promotion goals in the context of product consumption significantly increases the probability of a pleasurable experience, thus enabling consumers to experience emotions that result from the fulfillment of promotion goals. The proposed conceptual framework captures that the relationships among hedonic versus utilitarian shopping values and promotion versus prevention shopping goals respectively. An analysis of the consequence of the fulfillment and frustration of utilitarian and hedonic value is theoretically worthwhile. It is also substantively relevant because it helps predict post-consumption behavior such as the promotion versus prevention shopping goals orientation. Because our primary goal is to understand how the post consumption feelings influence the variable customer loyalty: word of mouth (Jacoby and Chestnut 1978). This research result is that the utilitarian shopping value gives the positive influence to both of the promotion and prevention goal. However the influence to the prevention goal is stronger. On the contrary, hedonic shopping value gives influence to the promotion focus goal only. Additionally, both of the promotion and prevention goal show the positive relation with customer loyalty. However, the positive relation with promotion goal and customer loyalty is much stronger. The promotion focus goal gives the influence to the customer loyalty. On the contrary, the prevention focus goal relates at the low level of relation with customer loyalty than that of the promotion goal. It could be explained that it is apt to get framed the compliment of people into 'gain-non gain' situation. As the result, for those who have the promotion focus are motivated to deliver their own feeling to other people eagerly. Conversely the prevention focused individual are more sensitive to the 'loss-non loss' situation. The research result is consistent with pre-existent researches. There is a conceptual parallel between necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits and luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha 2007; Higginns 1997; Kivetz and Simonson 2002b). In addition, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the precedence principle contends luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits higher than necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits. Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha (2007) show that consumers are focused more on the utilitarian benefits than on the hedonic benefits of a product until their minimum expectation of fulfilling prevention goals are met. Furthermore, a utilitarian benefit is a promise of a certain level of functionality by the manufacturer or the retailer. When the promise is not fulfilled, customers blame the retailer and/or the manufacturer. When negative feelings are attributable to an entity, customers feel angry. However in the case of hedonic benefit, the customer, not the manufacturer, determines at the time of purchase whether the product is stylish and attractive. Under such circumstances, customers are more likely to blame themselves than the manufacturer if their friends do not find the product stylish and attractive. Therefore, not meeting minimum utilitarian expectations of functionality generates a much more intense negative feelings, such as anger than a less intense feeling such as disappointment or dissatisfactions. The additional multi group analysis of this research shows the same result. Those who are unsatisfactory customers who have the prevention focused goal shows higher relation with WOM, comparing with satisfactory customers. The research findings in this article could have significant implication for the personal selling fields to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the sales such that they can develop the sales presentation strategy for the customers. For those who are the hedonic customers may be apt to show more interest to the promotion goal. Therefore it may work to strengthen the design, style or new technology of the products to the hedonic customers. On the contrary for the utilitarian customers, it may work to strengthen the price competitiveness. On the basis of the result from our studies, we demonstrated a correspondence among hedonic versus utilitarian and promotion versus prevention goal, WOM. Similarly, we also found evidence of the moderator effects of satisfaction after use, between the prevention goal and WOM. Even though the prevention goal has the low level of relation to WOM, those who are not satisfied show higher relation to WOM. The relation between the prevention goal and WOM is significantly different according to the satisfaction versus unsatisfaction. In addition, improving the promotion emotions of cheerfulness and excitement and the prevention emotion of confidence and security will further improve customer loyalty. A related potential further research could be to examine whether hedonic versus utilitarian, promotion versus prevention goals improve customer loyalty for services as well. Under the budget and time constraints, designers and managers are often compelling to choose among various attributes. If there is no budget or time constraints, perhaps the best solution is to maximize both hedonic and utilitarian dimension of benefits. However, they have to make trad-off process between various attributes. For the designers and managers have to keep in mind that without hedonic benefit satisfaction of the product it may hard to lead the customers to the customer loyalty.

  • HEVC RExt(High Efficiency Video Coding Range Extension)는 RGB/YUV 4:2:2 4:4:4 색 샘플링 영상과 10비트 심도 이상의 영상 지원을 목표로 한다. RGB 영상은 YUV 4:2:0 색 샘플링 영상과는 달리 색평면 간 높은 상관도를 갖고 있으며, 이를 이용하여 화소값을 예측하는 기법들이 JCT-VC 표준화 회의에서 기고되었다. 하지만 일반적으로 RGB 영상의 고주파수 성분은 색평면 간 낮은 상관도를 갖고 있으며, 이는 색평면 간 예측 시 부호화 효율 저하의 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 색평면 간 예측 시 고주파수 성분을 저역통과필터를 통해 적응적으로 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. HEVC RExt의 RGB 영상을 통한 실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 기존 색평면 간 예측 기법에 비해 큰 복잡도의 증가 없이 평균 0.6%의 BD(Bjontegaard Distortion)-율 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • 녹색 화학은 오염 물질의 배출을 피하면서도 동시에 공정 효율을 향상시키고자 하는 목적 하에 화학 공정의 설계, 운영에 대해 연구하는 새로운 과학 분야이다. 1991년에 처음으로 싹트기 시작한 녹색 화학은 오염물질을 청소하는데 집중했던 기존의 미국 환경 보호청의 정책에서 선회한 행보를 보였다. 이러한 녹색 화학의 형성 과정에 대해 연구한 선행 연구자들은 녹색 화학의 정치, 경제적인 동기에 대해서는 집중하지 않았다. 이 논문은 정부의 환경 정책, 산업계의 참여, 그리고 새로 출현한 녹색 화학자들의 학술 활동 사이의 관계를 보였으며, 이를 통해 녹색 화학의 형성 과정이 보여주는 함의를 알아내고자 하였다. 학계, 산업, 정부는 지속 가능한 발전이라는 폭넓은 정책 목표 아래에서, 녹색 화학을 형성했다. 녹색 화학자는 합성연구의 전통 안에서 합성효율을 높이는 반응 경로를 연구함으로써 오염물질 배출을 회피할 수 있는 지식을 만들어 내었고, 화학 산업계는 생산 효율성 증가를 통해 경제적인 이득을 얻고자 이것을 적극적으로 도입하였다. 이러한 새로운 형태의 동맹은 오염 회피, 자발적 규제 등의 방향을 선호하였던 미국 정부의 새로운 환경 정책의 흐름 안에서 지원받고, 유지될 수 있었다.

  • 코드 리팩토링은 소프트웨어의 수명을 연장하기 위한 목적을 가지고, 유지보수성을 증진하는데 초점이 있다. 그러나 최근 소프트웨어의 유용성이 높아지고 활용 범위가 방대해지면서, 성능 및 신뢰성 등의 다양한 품질 속성을 코드 리팩토링을 통해 향상시키고자 하는 노력이 있었다. 최근 스마트 폰과 같은 모바일 기기에서 저전력 소프트웨어의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라, 전력 효율성을 보장하는 코드 리팩토링 기법들도 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 코드 리팩토링이 소모 전력의 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 즉 기존에 제시되었던 코드 리팩토링 기법들이 소모 전력에 대한 충분한 고려가 이루어지지 못했기 때문에 코드의 유지보수성은 향상시키지만, 전력 효율성이 감소하는 결과를 초래할 수 있다는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 M. Fowler가 개발한 코드 리팩토링 기법들을 대상으로 전력 효율성을 분석한다. 제시된 연구 결과를 통해 개발자들은 어떠한 리팩토링 기법이 전력 효율성을 제공하는지 판단할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 유지보수성이 높은 전력 효율적인 소프트웨어를 개발할 수 있을 것이다.
