The purpose of this study is to understand consumer needs through emotion on character T-shirts. Study results suggest the basis for planning effective designs of character T-shirts. The results were summarized as follows: Emotion factors such as complex and arousal occupied 64.0% of the total. The types of the character T-shirts were clustered as four groups. The four types showed significant differences in all emotion factors. Complex emotion indicated its highest and lowest scores in types 4 and 2, respectively; and arousal emotion in types 2 and 3, respectively. As for the relation of consumption sensibility to emotions, three consumption sensibilities were related to all eight emotional adjectives. In the demographical aspect of emotions and consumption sensibilities, significant differences were found in age, gender, job and education. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as criteria improving emotions and consumption sensibility of character T-shirts. Especially, enhanced comsumption sensibility can be expected by the elimination of texts and the use of preferred character actions and vivid warm colors.

In this paper, the design of a VLSI-based multilayer neural network is presented, which can be used as a dedicated hardware for character-type segmentation and character-element recogniti on consuming large processing time in conventional software-based Hangul printed-character recognition systems. Also the architecture and its design of a neural coprocessor interfacing the neural network with a host computcr and controlling thc neural network are presented. The architecture, behavior, and performance of the proposed neural coprocessor are justified using VHDL modeling and simulation. Experimental results show the successful rates of character-type segmentation and character-element recognition is competitive to those of software-based Hangul printed-character recognition systems with retaining high-speed.

Since Manchu characters are written vertically and are connected without spaces within a word, a preprocessing process is required to separate the character area and the units that make up the characters before recognizing the characters. In this paper, we describe a preprocessing method that extracts the character area and cuts off the unit of the character. Unlike existing research that presupposes a method of recognizing each word or character unit, or recognizing the remaining part after removing the stem of a continuous character, this method cuts the character into each recognizable unit. It can be applied to the method of recognizing letters by combining the units. Through an experiment, the effectiveness of this method was verified.

The Effects of the Story Character Phonics on Preschoolers' Early Reading Abilities and Affective Domains The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the story character phonics on preschoolers' early reading abilities (phonemic awareness and phonics abilities) and their affective domains. 24 participants in the present study were seven years old, and they were divided into two different groups at S kindergarten in Chungnam. There were 12 preschoolers in the experimental group with the story character phonics, and 12 preschoolers in the control group learned English by the story phonics focusing on phonemic awareness and vocabulary for 6 weeks. The results were as follows: First, the story character phonics was more effective in improving the preschoolers' early reading abilities than using the story phonics. Secondly, the story character phonics had some positive effects on the preschoolers' affective domains. This study proved that practicing with the story character phonics is more effective for preschoolers to develop their early reading abilities of English and their affective domains.

The character industry is a high value-added industry, and is one of the strategic industries to be fostered. However, the character industry is struggling due to the lack of national consensus on the importance and value of the character industry. Therefore, in order to resolve this issue, the study used the character Input-Output Table of year 2009 of korea to analyze how much the character industry(Toys and games, Models and decorations) contributes to the national economy by measuring economic spreading effects of character industry on national economy. The results shows that character industry shows that production inducement coefficient is column 1.602, row 1.007, index of the sensitivity of dispersion is 0.543, Index of the power of dispersion is 0.864, value-added coefficient is 0.620, income inducement coefficient is 0.334, tax inducement coefficient is 0.066, employment inducement coefficient is 0.008.

The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers' recognition on field practice and effectiveness of creativity and character education. This study used post tests to examine the effects of teacher training for creativity and character education on 451 teachers. The results were as follows. Firstly, the average in satisfaction of teacher training for creativity and character education was 4.65 for elementary teachers and 4.35 for secondary teachers in summer, and 4.55 for elementary teachers and 4.42 for secondary teachers in winter. Secondly, effectiveness of teacher training on creativity and character education was showed highly as more than 4.0 and was higher in winter than in summer. Thirdly, in the case of field practice and effectiveness of teacher training for creativity and character education, the average of elementary teachers(3,66) was higher in respect of educational environment than that of secondary teachers(3.20) and the averages of elementary teachers and secondary teachers were 3.85 and 3.42 in respect of subject activity, respectively. In practising creativity and character education, it was analyzed that both elementary(ave. 3.89) and secondary(ave. 3.84) teachers went through some difficulties for curriculum reconstruction, development of instructional model, program development, and human and physical supports.

As a computational approach to literary criticism, the method of character network analysis has attracted attention. The character network is composed of nodes as characters and links as relationship between characters, and has been used to analyze literary works systematically. However, there were limitations in that relationships between characters were so superficial that they could not reflect intimate relationships and quantitative data from the network were not interpreted in depth regarding meaning of literary works. In this study, we propose an improved method of character network analysis through a case study on the play . First, we segmented the character network into a dialogue network focused on speaker-to-listener relationship and an opinion network focused on subject-to-object relationship. We analyzed these networks in various ways and discussed how analysis results could reflect structure and meaning of the work. Through these studies, we strived to find a way of organic and meaningful connection between literary criticism in humanities and network analysis in computer science.

Character recognition is a technology required in various platforms, such as smart parking and text to speech, and many studies are being conducted to improve its performance through new attempts. However, with low-quality image used for character recognition, a difference in resolution of the training image and test image for character recognition occurs, resulting in poor accuracy. To solve this problem, this paper designed an end-to-end learning neural network that combines image super-resolution and character recognition so that the character recognition model performance is robust against various quality data, and implemented an alternative whole learning algorithm to learn the whole neural network. An alternative end-to-end learning and recognition performance test was conducted using the license plate image among various text images, and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified with the performance test.

This study was to explore the factors that mathematics teachers actually need to improve their students' creativity and character to pursue education in the direction of the revised curriculum. We first temporarily extracted the elements to reinforce mathematics teachers' professionalism for creativity and character education through literature review, and then conducted the modified delphi technique and interview by targeting secondary school mathematics teachers. Based on the discussion of previous studies, we divided into five areas for mathematics teachers' professional development of creativity and character education: 1. understanding of creativity and character education, 2. creating an environment, 3. understanding curriculum for creativity and character education, 4. instructional design and apply for creativity and character education, 5. evaluating for creativity and character education. Actually content elements highly required by mathematics teachers were reset 17 items. The results of this study are expected to be used as the basis for teachers' professional development of creativity and character education in mathematics education.
