The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between institutional pressures and IT investment decision making of management. To analyze the proposed model, we distribute survey questionnaires to mid-size IT firms and collect data from them. Furthermore, the proposed model was tested by PLS(Partial Least Squares) technique. We found that coercive pressure and normative pressure have an effect on mimetic pressure. However, these two pressures do not influence the IT investment decision making. The mimetic pressure has an effect on the IT investment decision making. The conclusions and implications are discussed.

Apolipoprotein B-100 (Apo-B100) is a major protein component for low density lipoproteins (LDL). A number of mimetic peptides of Apo-B100 were screened from the phase-displayed random peptide library by utilizing monoclonal antibody (B9). Mimetic peptide for B9 epitope against apo B-100 was CRNVPPIFNDVYWIAF (pB1). From the BLAST search, the mimetic peptide pB1 had 40% homology with apo B-100. As a result of the structural determination of this mimotope using homo/hetero nuclear 2D-NMR techniques and NMR-based distance geometry (DG)/molecular dynamic (MD) computations, DG structure had low penalty value of 0.3-0.6 ${\AA}^2$ and the total RMSD was 0.5-1.5 ${\AA}. Moreover, pB1 structure included a weak $3_{10}$-helix from $Ile^7$,/TEX> to $Trp^{13}$.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of the mimetic reconstruction of artistic space through works of Hwang, Jai Hyoun. His work shows a new world that is not reduced to his life and experiences. But his work has drawn the world with an unpredictable way. This world I call artistic space, and try to interpret the processes that space is created by mimesis. To this end, I first suggest a way to communicate with his work at the intersection of light and darkness(2). I also look at the inside and outside of his art space restructured with mimetic reactions(3). Then I finally critically discuss the artistic space that has time(4), and then get out of the way(5).

Grasping and manipulation by hands can be considered as one of inevitable functions to achieve the performances desired in humanoid operations. When a humanoid robot manipulates an object by his hands, each finger should be well-controlled to accomplish a precise manipulation of the object grasped. So, the trajectory of each joint required for a precise finger motion is fundamentally necessary to be planned stably. In this sense, this paper proposes an effective joint motion planning method for humanoid fingers. The proposed method newly employs a bio-mimetic concept for joint motion planning. A suitable model that describes an interphalangeal coordination in a human finger is suggested and incorporated into the proposed joint motion planning method. The feature of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation results. As a result, the proposed method is useful for a facilitative finger motion. It can be applied to improve the control performance of humanoid fingers or prosthetic fingers.

This paper presents a novel bio-mimetic quadruped walking robot with a waist joint, which connects the front and the rear parts of the body. The new robot, called ELIRO-1(Eating LIzard RObot version 1), can bend its body while the legs is transferred, thereby increasing the stride and speed of the robot. The waist-jointed walking robot can move easily from side to side, which is an important feature to guarantee a larger gait stability margin than that of a conventional single rigid-body walking robot. We design the mechanical structure of the robot, which is small and light to have high movability and high degree of human friendship. In this paper, we describe characteristics of the waist joint and leg mechanism as well as the analysis using ADAMS to select appropriate actuators. In addition, a hardware and software of the controller of ELIRO-1 are described.

A number of mimetic peptides of apolipoprotein A-I, a major component for high density lipoproteins (HDL), were screened from the phase-displayed random peptide library by utilizing monoclonal antibodies (A12). A mimetic peptide for A12 epitope against apolipoprotein A-I was selected as FVLVRDTFPSSVCCP(pA2) exhibiting 45% homology with Apo A-I in the BLAST search. Solution structure determination of this mimotope was made by using 2D-NMR data and NMR-based distance geometry (DG)/molecular dynamic calculations. The resulting DG structures had low penalty value of 0.4-0.6 ${\AA}^2$ and the total RMSD of 0.7-1.7 ${\AA}$. The mimotope pA2 exhibited a characteristic ${\beta}$-turn conformation from Val[2] to Phe[8] near Pro[9] residue.

Liposomes have been widely employed as biomembrane-mimetic system and drug-delivery system. In these applications, the low stability of liposomes has been the most serious problem. They have relatively short half-lives and easily lysed through interactions with biological components. This study was performed to investigate the effects of godulbaegi extracts on the fludity of phospholipid liposomes. We used dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine(DPPC) liposomes which make most stable liposomes among the other phosphatidylcholines. The thermograms of the DPPC liposomal bilayers incorporated with the hexane extract of godulbaegi(Ixeris sonchifolia H.) were obtained, and the enthalpy changes and the sizes of cooperative unit of the transition were calculated. The incorporation of the Ixeris sonchifolia H. into the liposomal bilayers effectively reduced the transition temperature at which the transition from gel state to liquid-crystalline state occurs, broadened the thermogram peaks, and reduced the ratio of van't Hoff to calorimetric enthalpies. These results indicate indicate that the godulbaegi extracts (Ixeris sonchifolia H.) have significant effects on the fluidity of biological membrance.

The present paper studies a robot manipulator's contact tasks on the uncertain flexible objects. The flexible object's distributed parameter model is approximated into a lumped "position state-varying" model. By using the well-known nonlinear feedback compensation, the robot's control space is decomposed into the position control subspace and the object's torque control subspace. The optimal state feedback is designed for the position loop, and the robot's contact force is controlled through controlling the resultant torque on the object using model-reference simple adaptive control. Experiments of a PUMA robot interacting with an aluminum plate show the effectiveness of this control approach. approach.
