The purpose of this study was to analyse the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of paper-pencil tests for exploring its appropriateness as a selection tool of the gifted in science. For this purpose, we developed two (internal and external) item analysis frameworks, and applied these frameworks to analyse qualitative characteristics. Also, we analysed the relationship between two characteristics. The results of analysing qualitative characteristics revealed that the portion of items with acceleration context exceeding middle school curriculum level was relatively large, which caused low content validity. Furthermore, there was considerable deviation in content and context by subject matter and year, which caused test unstability. Items measuring knowledge domain was the most prevalent, and too much weight on data interpretation & analysis domain in inquiry process skills. In case of creativity test, the portion of items measuring convergent thinking was much larger than that of divergent or associative thinking. Most of these items were represented by using pictures and tables rather than using graphs. Item types of multiple-choice and short answers were superior to essay types. Discrimination index, on the whole, was appropriate (above 0.3), but item difficulty showed a vast deviation ($0.01{\sim}0.90$). Correlation coefficients among subject matters and test tools were very low, and test reliabilities were also low. Low item difficulty & high discrimination index item types were distinguishable. Items with acceleration context were more discriminating than enrichment context. Implications of developing quality paper-pencil test items in the selection of gifted students are discussed.

The purpose of this study looks for the directions to improve the performance evaluation of cook by examining the perceptions for performance of cook by supervisors in hotel restaurant. In order for this purpose, this study focuss on two areas: (1) the significant differences of each hotel type on the perceptions of each performance evaluation item, (2) the significant differences of each kitchen type on the perceptions of each performance evaluation item in terms of two different types of hotel. To examine (1) and (2), this study uses Student t test and anova analysis. The findings from this study have both theoretical and practical implications. Implications of these findings are discussed.

This paper deals with performance measures for recoverable item control where the demand process is time-dependent. The performance measure is essential for modelling a multi-echelon inventory problem for repairable items. Most repairable items are expensive and have a great influence on the performance of equipments. Thus the information on these items is very useful to the decision maker. The purpose of this paper is to derive the system performance measure and the part(component) performance measure considering a cannibalization policy under the dynamic environment.

MPEG-21 환경에서의 DI(Digital Item)은 MPEG-21 프레임워크 내에서 표준화된 표현 형식, 식별 체계, 서술 형식을 따르는 구조화된 디지털 객체이며, 유통, 처리의 최소 단위이다 따라서. 이러한 DI가 MPEG-21 멀티미디어 프레임워크 환경에서 사용자 터미널에 전달되었을 때 어떻게 처리되어야 될 것인지를 규정하는 것은 매우 중요한 과제이며. 이와 관련한 기술이 DIP(Digital Item Processing)이다. 본 논문에서는 DIP의 한 응용 예로서 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 계층적으로 기술하는 Video Summary의 응용 방안에 대한 연구 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

The rapid increase of E-commerce market requires a solution to assist the buyer to find his or her interested items. The intelligent agent model is one of the approaches to help the buyers in purchasing items in outline market. In this paper, the user query processing model in the item recommendation agent is proposed. In the proposed model, the retrieval result is affected by the automatically generated queries from user preference information as well as the queries explicitly given by user. Therefore, the proposed model can provide the customized search results to each user.

As internet commerce grows, many company has begun to use a CF (Collaborative Filtering) as a Recommender System. To achieve an accuracy of CF, we need to obtain sufficient account of voting scores from customers. Moreover, those scores may not be consistent. To overcome this problem, we propose a new recommendation scheme using binary user-item matrix, which represents whether a user purchases a product instead of using the voting scores. Through the experiment regarding this new scheme, a better accuracy is demonstrated.

The problem of selecting optimal target values for the mean of the quality characteristic of interest for a production process in which an item is sold in one of two market with different profit / cost structures or reworked. Two profit models are constructed which involve four profit / cost components: profit, production, inspection, and rework costs. Assumed that the quality characteristic of interest is normally distributed, methods of finding the most profitable process mean are presented and a numerical example is given.

A multidimensionality detecting procedure DETECT, based on conditional covariances between items, is extended and refined to deal with polytomous item data as well as binary one. A large body of simulation study shows extraordinary performance of DETECT in both enumerating degrees of multidimensionality in a test and discovering dimensionally distinctive item clusters. Real data study also provides very meaningful results, making DETECT a strong dimensionality assessment tool for the test data analysis.

This paper addresses the problem of determining the proper level of concurrent spare parts(CSP) for a system consisting of multi-item parts under an available budget constraint. Initial provisioning of spare parts plays a major role in the acquisition of a new equipment system. Therefore, the proper level of spare parts should be on hand to maintain the availability of the system. This paper proposes a new CSP model and solution procedure that determines the proper level of spare parts satisfying the item priority and simultaneously available budget constraint.

We consider the problem of determining the spare inventory level for a multiechelon repairable-item inventory system. Our model extends the previous results to the system which has an inventory at the central depot as well as bases. We develop an optimal algorithm to find spare inventory leveis, which minimize the total expected cost and simultaneously satisfy a specified minimum service rate. The algorithm is tested using problems of various sizes to verify the efficiency and accuracy.
