The purpose of this study was to find whether national identity, value orientation, cultural sensitivity influence Multi cultural competence of secondary school students. The significant result out of this research was that Multi cultural competence were different by its concerned variables. The results of hierarchical regression analysis reveal that changes to each of the models were checked by introducing a new group of variables in each stage. Then the influences of the concerned variables including national identity, value orientation, and cultural sensitivity on multi cultural competence were tested through the influence and significance of the variables and the changing explanatory power of the entire models.

In this paper, we propose a new phantom protection method for multi-dimensional index structures. The proposed method uses a hybrid approach of predicate locking and granular locking mechanisms. The proposed mechanism is independent of the types of multi-dimensional index structures, i.e., it can be applied to all types of index structures such as tree-based, file-based and hash-based index structures. Also, it achieves low development cost and high concurrency with low lock overhead. It is shown through various experiments that the proposed method outperforms existing phantom protection methods for multi-dimensional index structures.

In this paper, we introduce smart multi-sensor and environment monitoring system for managing growth and development of the agricultural produces. This system is able to help to collect the sensor information about the growing environment and to monitor in wired and wireless environments. Existing systems installed each kinds of sensor to gather information. In this case, installation cost was incurred about each sensor and the position of sensor set up manually. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented smart multi-sensor that simplify sensors in order to minimize the cost for installing each sensor. In addition, this system is able to monitor position and data information of smart multi-sensor using RFID communication

One of the major problems in electric power quality is the harmonic contents. There are several methods of indicating the quantity of harmonic contents. The most widely used measure is the total harmonic distortion (THD). Various switching techniques have been used in static converters to reduce the output harmonic content. This paper presents and compares the two harmonic optimization techniques, known as optimal minimization of the total harmonic distortion (OMTHD) technique and optimized harmonic stepped-waveform (OHSW) technique used in multi-level inverters with unequal dc sources. Both techniques are very effective and efficient for improving the quality of the inverter output voltage. First, we describe briefly the cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter structure. Then, we present the switching algorithm for the inverter based on OHSW and OMTHD techniques. Finally, the results obtained for the two techniques are analyzed and compared. The results verify the effectiveness of the both techniques in multi-level voltage-source inverter with non-equal dc sources, clarifying the advantages of each technique.

In order to display various art works such as media art in a multi-display environment, it is necessary to consider contents arrangement. The advantage of having a 1: N or N: N layout instead of a 1: 1 or N: 1 layout between display and content, but a more complex scheme of how to do spatial and temporal layout in multi-display Is required. In order to distribute contents, existing media server solution or programming-based multimedia production software is used. However, it takes much time to rearrange or modify the contents, and it is not easy to modify the contents. Therefore, It is difficult to place content in the environment. In order to solve this problem, various approaches are needed from research on content placement method to development of content placement software that improves the existing method. However, analysis on systematic content placement type supporting it, or interface There is also no access to. In this study, we have summarized the requirements for designing the interface for each type with the aim of making it possible to utilize previously analyzed content layout types in various display activities such as media art in multi - display environment. The requirements of each type of interface were derived based on spatial arrangement and temporal layout type which are most distinguished when content is placed. The contents of the interface requirements are summarized as follows: We expect to be a cornerstone for system development.

Previous multi-cultural education on elementary school students has focused on improving negative perceptions on multi-culture rather than enhancing morality among student, thus the outcomes seem to be not successful as intended. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between multi-cultural acceptance and pro-social behavior and to investigate the role of empathy as mediator in the relationships between these two variables. A convenience sample of 457 elementary school students in I city of Kyeonggi-do was employed. Results showed that multi-cultural acceptance was significantly associated with pro-social behavior and empathy had partially mediated the relationship between multi-cultural acceptance and pro-social behavior controlling for gender, grade, multi-cultural education. Findings suggest that multi-cultural education need to be incorporated into moral education course for improving pro-social behavior and empathy of students.

Because the embedded watermark of luminance component guarantees the extraction of ownership information when the color image is converted to gray scale image, the information of ownership right as to the luminance component is embedded in the luminance-chrominance color space such as YCbCr. Therefore, this paper proposes watermark embedding, extraction and authentication algorithm of color image. which considers the device and performance of multimedia contents service by focusing on the robustness and invisibility of watermark. The color image is converted from RGB color space to YCbCr color space, and then the properties of each component of Y(Luminance), Cb(Color Differences) and Cr(Color Differences) are considered in order to embed, extract and certify multi-level watermark in the frequency domain based on the wavelet. As a result, it can guaranteed the robustness for the JPEG compression and invisibility of watermark for multi-level.

Virtual reality is a technology for enabling users to interact with a computer generated environment which can be similar to the real world. A multi-channel display is one of the virtual reality platform for creating a high resolution image. In this paper, we develop a multi-channel display system which allows users to immersively understand the 3D educating contents and furthermore, we construct 3D educating contents for describing a semiconductor concept and process.

An important application domain for online services is an interactive, multi-player game. In recent, many increase of users that use on-line services through networks have caused a heavy load to the server. In this paper, we propose a MMORPG(Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game) distributed game server using flayer-Cell. Our method provides efficient solution of a MMORPG distributed game server for large numbers of users. It is shown through the experiments that our method outperforms existing methods in terms of memory utilization rate and processing speed.

"Hahoe Village" in Andong region is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It should be protected against various disasters such as fire, flooding, earthquake, etc. Among these disasters, flooding has drastic impact on the lives and properties in a wide area. Since "Hahoe Village" is adjacent to Nakdong River, it is important to monitor the water level near the village. In this paper, we developed a hydrological modelling using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to predict the water level of Nakdong River near "Hahoe Village". To develop the prediction model, error back-propagation (EBP) algorithm was used to train the MLP with water level data near the village and rainfall data at the upper reaches of the village. After training with data in 2012 and 2013, we verified the prediction performance of MLP with untrained data in 2014.
