The Purpose of this study is to determine how Korean and United Sates families manage resourcese. Further, socioeconomic and social psychological determinants of frequency of family resoures management will be investigated for each country. Comparision of results well be made to find similarities and differences between Korea and the U.S. Most studies of family resource management have used urban samples, so this study adds to understanding of another segment of the populations. Family resource management variables, as dependent variables, were measured by asking respondents how often they used a variety of wasys to handle finances and time. Independent variables were : (a) total household income, (b) respondents education, (c) respondents ages, (d) householder size, (e) family adaptability, (f) family cohesion, and (g) interpersonal communications. Data for the Korean sample were collected in rural areas of South Korea during summer 1989, U.S. data were collected in two counties of Illinois. The data used in this study include 473 Korean samples and 301 U.S. families. In both samples, the respondent was the financial manager, the person who usually handled the finances and paid the bills. The data were analyzed by frequencys, t-test, and multiple regression analysis methods. As a results, U.S. respondents tended to engage in family resource management more frequently than Korean respondents. This could be attributed to a longer history of consumer education and financial management education taught in the public schools and through the Cooperative Extension Service in the U.S. Social-psycological variables were significant predictors of frequency of family financial management in both samples. the differences in both samples are that, in Korea, frequency of family financial management increased as household size and educational years increased, however, in the United States, the relationships of these variables were not significant. Some similarities and differences were found in Korea and the U.S. families, and this results represents that interpersonal communications are important determinants, even in different cultures. One hadn, the difference of socio-cultural factors result as the difference of some statisical differences. Findings from this study have important implications for research and education, and can be applicated to study of family resource management in other rural areas.

Managing GML data in traditional database systems is not efficient since It has not only characteristics of spatial data but also features of (semi) structured n documents. XML enabled database systems can manage U data efficiently, however they cannot handle spatial data. Spatial database systems are good at spatial data handling but those are inefficient for XML data. This paper proposes a storage method of GML data for spatial database systems in order to solve the problems. The proposed method generates spatial database schemas from GML application schemas and store GML data into SDBMS through the generated schemas. A prototype of the storage method has been implemented on the Postgre SQ/SPE system to show the proposed method is appropriate for storing GML data. As a result, the implemented system was able to store various GML data which had diverse XML structures and different size. Stored data size was smaller than GML files. Furthermore, spatial, non-spatial, and mixed content queries could be performed over the stored GML data as quickly.

It is very dongerous for ship‘s fire which occurs from navigating because of it will not be able to expect fire fighting from land so that handle with the oneself to control. Additionally, in the case of passenger ship is more serious for the reason of not only the property damage but also large life accident can be occurred continuously. When the fire occurs, the many smoke to occur simultaneously as well as the heat from combustion process and the poisonous smoke is brought the life damage as the death from suffocation The purpose of this study is to examine the smoke movement characteristics in the ship's indoor spaces with fire size and location An experimental study was carried out with two sized of fires and three typed of fire source locations. As the results, the smoke and heat diffusion characteristics Ms been showed the most quick rise curve in the case of comer type fire.

This paper proposes a filter-based algorithm to adaptively adjust the contention window in IEEE 802.11 DCF. The proposed mechanism is focused on the general and realistic environments that have various conditions regarding to noise, media types and network load. For this flexible adaptation, Filter-based DCF(FDCF) takes a more realistic policy such as median filter concept in the image processing technologies. We can handle these various environments by adjusting the contention window size according to the result of filtering based on history-buffer. We can ignore temporarily and randomly occurred transmission failures due to noise errors and collisions in noisy environments. In addition, by changing the reference number and history-buffer size, FDCF can be extended as a general solution including previous proposed mechanism. We have confirmed that the proposed mechanism can achieve the better performance than those of previous researches in aspects of the throughput and the delay in the realistic environments.

Recently, volume of data has been growing dramatically along with the growth of social media and digital devices. However, the existing disk-based distributed file systems have limits to their performance of data processing or data access, due to I/O processing costs and bottlenecks. To solve this problem, the caching technique is being used to manage data in the memory. In this paper, we propose a cache management scheme to handle load balancing in a distributed memory environment. The proposed scheme distributes the data according to the memory size, n distributed environments with different memory sizes. If overloaded nodes occur, it redistributes the the access time of the caching data. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with an existing distributed cache management scheme through performance evaluation.

The hologram data is having a dependence on the pixel pitch of the SLM (spatial light modulator) and the wavelength of light, and the quality of the digital hologram is proportional to the unit pixel pitch and the total resolution. In addition, since each pixel has a complex value, the amount of data in the digital hologram also increases exponentially, and the size is bound to be very large. Therefore, in order to efficiently handle digital hologram files, it is essential to reduce the file size through a codec and store it. Recently, research on enhancing image quality damaged by the codec is actively underway. In this paper, the hologram image of JPEG Pleno, which is the standard hologram data, was used, and the image quality damage that occurs whenthe holographic image is encoded and decoded through the JPEG2000, AVC, and HEVC codec is enhanced with a deep learning network to find out whether the image quality can be improved. we also compare and quantitatively find out the degree of improvement in image quality.

This paper presents a novel design approach that could generate structural design alternatives having different topologies and then, select the optimum structure from them with simulataneously determining its optimum design variables related to geometry and the member size subjected to the multiple objective design environments. For this purpose, a specialized genetic algorithm, called StrGA_DeAl + MOGA, which can handle the design alternatives and multi-criteria problems very effectively, is developed for the optimal structural design. To validate the developed method, method, plain truss design problems are considered as illustrative example. To begin with, some possible topological of the truss structure are suggested based on the stability criterion that should be satisfied under the given loading condition. Then, with the consideration of the given multi-criteria, several different topology forms are selected as design alternatives for the second step of the conceptual design process. Based on the chosen topolgy of truss structures, the sizing or shaping optimization process starts to determine the optimum design parameters. Ten-bar truss problems are given in the paper to confirm the above concept and methodology.

Designers often hesitate to decide the shape, size, and layout of a product. Though ergonomic principles and data are absolutely needed in this process, they don't have enough guidelines to refer. For the refrigerator designers, they also are not convinced of their decision: the vertical position of the freezing and refrigerating rooms, the height of shelves, the shape of door-handle, and etc. To support the refrigerator design, we applied several ergonomic methods to the evaluation of a refrigerator. EMG measurement was used to evaluate the load of user's lumbar muscle. Based upon the experimental EMG data, we developed a model to predict the relative load according to the height of refrigerator shelves. Two different layouts of a refrigerator, R/F and F/R style, were compared with the model. A three-dimenaional motion analysis method was used to evaluate the user's motion of using a refrigerator. Ten door-handles with the different shapes and positions were evaluated by tracking the rotations of the user's arm. Video protocol analysis was used to evaluate the user interface of a control panel in a refrigerator. Finally, we made several ergonomic design guidelines based on the facts found in this research and the anthropometric data of the Korean adults. The results of this study can be applied to the ergonomic design of a refrigerator.

This study investigates the characteristics of local arbitration committees in China based on arbitration institution evaluation model. Most of the literature on Chinese arbitration committees only focuses on CIETAC. However, the promulgation of 1994 Chinese arbitration act allows local arbitration committees to deal the arbitration cases related with foreign element. Before 1994, only CIETAC and CMAC handle the arbitration cases related with foreign element. For the evaluation of the local arbitration committees, this study establishes the arbitration institution evaluation model. This model has seven evaluation criteria: accessability, independence, neutrality, rapidity, economy, professionality, and extent of enforcement. Our findings are as follows. First, Chinese local arbitration committees have the strengths in the fields of accessability, economy and rapidity. However, they are deficient in the area of neutrality, professionality, and independence. Second, the spatial distribution of Chinese local arbitration committees is not equal in China. The number of local arbitration committees is big in the high growth region such as Shandong province. On the other hand, the number of local arbitration committees is small in the economically stagnant area. Third, the size and activity of local arbitration committees are various. Some of them are very active in dispute resolution through arbitration in China. For example, Beijing Arbitration Committee(BAC), Wuhan, Quangzou Arbitration Committee play the important role in dispute resolution through arbitration. However, the large part of local arbitration committees is financially weak and depend on the local government's financial support.
