This study investigates the adoption of technology in smart tourist destinations, with a focus on the Baby Boomer generation. The objective is to analyze the perceived utility, intention to use, and risk perception of this generation regarding Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the context of smart tourist destinations. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to elderly groups belonging to the Baby Boomer generation in two Brazilian cities. Data analysis was conducted using statistical tools such as SPSS and Microsoft Excel, with an emphasis on regression analysis with moderation. The results indicate that when Baby Boomer tourists feel insecure about technology, they tend to not perceive its utility, impacting its acceptance. On the other hand, lower risk perceptions lead to an increase in perceived utility and, consequently, a greater intention to use technology in travel planning. The moderating role of risk perception in the relationship between perceived utility and intention to use is emphasized. The findings highlight the need for managers of smart destinations to consider the risks perceived by tourists, focus on diverse age groups, and implement strategies that address digital exclusion.

The inflow of digital technology into the art, especially in the Fashion Illustration since 1990, makes the new aesthetics of the beginning of the 21 century which the Software aesthetics can be called. The meeting of technology and the art make us recall a great scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci in the Renaissance that the notion of the art and skill was unified, same as the ancient history. This study is purposed to expand the concept of the art for the broad exchange of the digital technology and art and for the extensive expression method of the modern fashion illustration. Having views on science theory of the beginning of the 20 century, Theory of Relativity which had given a lot of influence in the philosophy, the litterature and the art, as well as all the science, it makes a connection with the history of art in the beginning of the 20 century and the story of the digital art in the beginning of the 21 century. Firstly, the Fauvism and 2D is based on the expression of the glowing and bright color by the Principle of constancy of light velocity. Secondly, the Cubism and 3D is associated with the Special theory of relativity in the cyberspace which the space and the time are totally accorded. Thirdly, the Futurism and 4D is compared with the General theory of relativity which contains the material and the gravity. They are gradually evolved into the Interactive art and the Kinetic art by the digital technology in the profound cyberspace.

Purpose - We live in a world of constant change and competition. Many airports have specific competitiveness goals and strategies for achieving and maintaining them. The global economic recession, financial crises, and rising oil prices have resulted in an increasingly important role for facility investment and renewal and the implementation of appropriate policies in ensuring the competitive advantage for airports. It is thus important to analyze the factors that enhance efficiency and productivity for an airport. This study aims to determine the efficiency levels of 20 major airports in East Asia, Europe, and North America. Further, this study also suggests suitable policies and strategies for their development. Research design, data, and methodology - This paper employs the DEA-CCR, DEA-BCC, and DEA-Malmquist production index analysis models to determine airport efficiency. The study uses data on the efficiency and productivity of the world's leading airports between 2006 and 2010. The input variables include the airport size, the number of runways, the size of passenger terminals, and the size of cargo terminals. The output variables include the annual number of passengers and the annual cargo volume. The study uses basic data from the 2010 World Airport Traffic Report (ACI). The world's top 20 airports (as rated by the ACI report) are investigated. The study uses the expanded DEA Model and the Super Efficiency Model to identify the most effective airports among the top 20. The Malmquist productivity index analysis is used to measure airport effectiveness. Results - This study analyzes longitudinal and cross-sectional data on the world's top 20 airports covering 2006 to 2010. A CCR analysis shows that the most efficient airports in 2010 were Gatwick Airport (LGW), Zurich Airport (ZRH), Vienna Airport (VIE), Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport (FCO), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA), San Francisco Airport (SFO), HongKong Airport (HKG), Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), and Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG). We find that changes in airport productivity are affected more by technical factors than by airport efficiency. Conclusions - Based on the study results, we offer four airport development proposals. First, a benchmark airport needs to be identified. Second, inefficiency must be reduced and high-cost factors need to be managed. Third, airport operations should be enhanced through technical innovation. Finally, scientific demand forecasting and facility preparation must become the focus of attention. This paper has some limitations. Because the Malmquist productivity index is based on the hypothesis of the, the identified production change could be over- or under-estimated. Further, as DEA estimates the relative efficiency. It also cannot generalize to include all airport conditions because the variables are limited. To measure airport productivity more accurately, other input variables and environmental variables such as financial and policy factors should be included.

표면은 서로 접촉하고 있는 두 개의 사물의 공통의 경계여야 한다; 그러므로 물의 표면은 물의 부분도 아니고 공기의 부분도 아니며, 또 이들 사이에 끼워진 그 어떤 물체도 아니다. 그렇다면 공기와 물을 갈라놓은 것은 무엇인가? 공기도 물도 아니며 실체가 없는 공동의 경계가 있어야만 한다는 것은 필연적이다. 왜냐하면 양자 사이에 끼워진 물체는 이들의 접촉을 막을 것이고, 물과 공기의 경우 이런 일은 일어나지 알고 있으며 그 어떤 매개체의 삽입 없이 접촉하고 있기 때문이다.

“소리의 비 가시성(非 可視性)”은 소음을 제어하고자 하는 공학자에게 주어진 근원적인 어려움 중의 하나이다. 따라서 이러한 비 가시성을 완화할 수 있는. 다시 말하면 소음을 볼 수 있는 방법에 대한 탐구는 많은 관심과 시도가 있어왔다. 이들 방법 중 대표적인 것으로 이론적 또는 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 소음을 가시화 하려는 많은 시도를 들 수 있다. 수치적인 방법의 경우에는 난류 유동의 가시화 분야에서 괄목할 만한 성과를 이루어왔으나 난류 소음의 가시화에는 부족한 상태이다 실험적인 방법의 경우는 마이크로폰 제작 기술의 발달로 인한 가격 인하로 많은 수의 마이크로본을 손쉽게 확보할 수 있게 되었고 매우 빠른 신호처리 기술의 발달이 확보됨으로써 많은 진전이 이루어졌으나, 가시화된 음장 정보의 정확한 해석 등이 여전히 어려운 분야로 남아있다. 또한 음장 가시화 결과에는 항상 유한한 측정 자료로 인한 오차가 포함되어 있으며, 이로 인하여 논문의 제목에서 강조한 바와 같이 소음인의 탐지 및 소음원의 공간적인 분포를 결정하는 데 어려움이 있다. 이 논문은 음장 가시화와 관련된 간략한 역사를 레오나르도 다빈치의 유명한 와류 유동 그림에서 출발하여 현대적 개념의 선형 혹은 평면형 마이크로폰 배열에 의해 수행되는 음향 홀로그래피 분야를 전반부에 설명하고, 음향 홀로그래피 구현에 있어서 발생하는 어려운 문제와 최근의 연구 동향을 후반부에 소개하는 방식으로 구성되어 있다. 최근의 문제 중에서는 자동차나 기차와 같이 이동하는 소음원을 가시화하기 위한 이동 후레임(moving frame)을 이용한 홀로그램 구성 방법과 닫힌 공간에서의 소음원 탐지를 위해 필요한 소리의 반사 효과 제거에 대하여도 기술하고 있다. 또한, 최근에 연구되는 또 다른 중요한 분야로서 “우리는 두 마리의 새가 지저귀는 것인지 아니면 한 마리의 새가 두 개의 목소리를 가지고 지저귀는 것인지 알 수 있을까?" 라는 질문으로 표현할 수 있는 공간상에 분포하는 소음원의 상호 의존관계를 구분하는 분야에 대한 문제 제기와 현실적인 접근 방법을 논하고 있다.
