This study examines the characteristics of consumers on the ambivalent clothing consuming behavior and the relationship of relevant variables. The data were obtained from 400 females over 20 years old who lived in the cities of Daejeon or Seoul in October in 2009. The values consist of four dimensions: success-oriented value, social value, family-oriented value, and individual value. Value-conscious consumption consists of two dimensions: emotional value-conscious consumption and functional value-conscious consumption. The aforementioned four dimensions of value have positive effects on ambivalent clothing consuming behavior. In addition, emotional value-conscious consumption has a significant relationship on all 5 types in ambivalent clothing consuming behavior. The findings of this study are expected to be used to find niche markets and establish advanced advertising strategies.

The purpose of this research is to develop strategic alternatives for the high-tech products development by comparatively studying characteristics of the industry and R&D structures in Korea and the US. Some of the environmental, strategic, organizational and project teams' characteristics are studied. Data were collected from Korea and US high-tech companies through interviews and questionnaires and event analysis method was used to analyze them. The findings are as follows: First, when the level of market concentration is high, cycle time tends to be longer. Therefore, if there are many competitors in the market, new products development should be swift due to competitive pressures. Second, the developmental strategy should be directed toward the existing customers to speed up new products development. That is, a defensive strategy would result in a shorter cycle time and response time compared to a strategy directed to a niche market. Third, when the level of formalization is high, cycle time tends to be shorter. This means that formal procedures for new products idea development or new products development policies shorten new products development time.

Competitive species have the same spatial distribution (habitat) and foraging behavior (niche), while non-competitive species have either different feeding behavior or spatial distribution. Therefore, ecological segregation among species of fish results rfom differences in foraging behavior and spatial distribution (Allen, 1984; Zhang 1988). To explore these ecological strategies among major small fish pelagics in Korean waters, distribution of CPUE in the Korean large purse seine fishery were examined. (omitted)

The tidal flat of Korea is one of the most dynamic areas in terms of sediment erosion and deposition. Tidal flats provide important food resources, ecological niche for diverse organisms and have functional role of bioremediation by mineralizing organic matters. Generally, microbes are essential constituent for biochemical transformations, such as mineralization of organic matters and biodegradation of pollutants. Understanding microbes in tidal flat sediment is necessary to understand these processes. In order to understand role of microbes in tidal flat, this study investigated prokaryotic communities by several methods such as clone library, DGGE, and pyrosequencing. In addition, quantification of microorganisms and isolation biodegrading bacteria were investigated in tidal flats of Western Coast.

The genomes of leptospiral field isolates from Korea belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (21 strains) and serogroup Canicola (1 strain) were analysed and compared by restriction enzyme analysis with EcoRI and HindIII as digesting enzymes. One isolate belonging to serogroup Canicola showed the same pattern as serovar portlandvere. All 21 isolates belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae showed almost same patterns as Leptospira serovar lai from China, But with very slight differences 21 isolates could be classified into 8 subtypes and these grouping seems to reflect the differences in epidemiological niche. And also the geographical data consisted with the grouping into 8 subtypes. According to our results, we concluded that the restriction endonuclease analysis of chromosomal DNA will be an accurate and reliable method to compare and classify pathogenic leptospires.

Thermoelectric is a key technology for energy harvesting and solid-state cooling by direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion (or vice versa); however, the relatively low efficiency has limited thermoelectric systems to niche applications such as space power generation and small-scale or high-density cooling. To expand into larger scale power generation and cooling applications such as ATEG (automotive thermoelectric generators) and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), high-performance bulk thermoelectric materials and their low-cost processing are essential prerequisites. Recently, the performance of commercial thermoelectric materials including $Bi_2Te_3$-, PbTe-, skutterudite-, and half-Heusler-based compounds has been significantly improved through non-equilibrium processing technologies for defect engineering. This review summarizes material design approaches for the formation of multi-dimensional and multi-scale defect structures that can be used to manipulate both the electronic and thermal transport properties, and our recent progress in the synthesis of conventional thermoelectric materials with defect structures is described.

HCPV(High Concentrated PV) systems have well known for CPV market all over the world. Low concentration type silicon based modules have been introduced in the market. But low cost of standard flat silicon modules made them useless nowadays. High cost of compound semiconductor solar cell reduced cost effective cpv module production than that of recently silicon solar cell. In order to overcome increasing cost of CPV module, we study middle concentration type fresnel lens simulation using concentrated type silicon based solar cell. Linear type fresnel lens made production of CPV module without secondary optics such as light pipe or light tunnel. This type of fresnel lens design makes more cost effective solution for cpv niche market.

내장산국립공원에 자생하고 있는 굴거리나무 개체군의 분포와 식생구조를 분석하였다. 굴거리나무 개체군은 내장사지구의 금선계곡과 원적계곡, 백양사지구의 운문암 주변에서 분포하고 있으며, 그 면적은 각각 1.8km2, 0.6km2 이었다. 굴거리나무 개체군의 밀도는 금선계곡 전망대 주변이 가장 높았고, 금선계곡과 운문암 주변에서 비교적 높았다. 굴거리나무는 경사가 급한 전석지대에서 생육하고 있으며, 대팻집나무, 산딸나무, 작살나무와 생태적 적소가 유사한 것으로 생각된다. 식생구조분석 결과 내장산국립공원 산림의 아교목층과 관목층에서 굴거리나무의 우점도가 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

본 연구는 치악산국립공원에 위치하는 성황림의 산림군집구조를 분석하기 위해 20개의 조사구를 성황림의 평지림과 사면림에 설정하고 조사하였다. 성황림의 산림군집은 졸참나무 - 복자기나무군집과 고로쇠나무 - 층층나무군집으로 분리되었다. 평지림의 졸참나무군집으로 분리되었다. 평지림의 졸참나무 - 복자기나무군집으로 복자기나무 - 졸참나무군집으로 천이가 진행될 것이라 판단되며, 사면림의 고로쇠나무 - 층층나무군집으로 그대로 유지될 것으로 예측된다. 수종간의 상관관계에서는 느릅나무와 으름덩굴.복자기나무.줄딸기, 복자기나무와 으름덩굴, 회잎나무와 졸참나무, 참회나무와 국수나무 등의 수종들 간에는 아주 높은 정의 상관관계를 보여 동질적인 지위(niche)를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 산뽕나무와 쪽동백나무, 복자기나무와 쪽동백나무.당단풍 등의 수종들 간에는 비교적 높은 부의 상관관계를 보여 이질적인 지위를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 조사지의 종다양도는 1.2303~1.2741로 높은 종다양성을 보였다.

전기기기의 구조 및 형상 최적화에 있어서 다양한 제한 사항과 설계방법들을 이용하기 위하여 전역 최대점과 함께 국소 최대점까지 고려할 수 있는 최적화 기법이 요구되고 있다. 다양한 제한사항들을 모두 목적 함수에 포함시킬 경우에 발생하는 여러 가지 문제점들을 해결하고 설계자의 주관적 평가도 활용할 수 있는 새로운 기법을 필요로 한다. 이처럼 다양한 해의 생성과 보존을 필요로 하는 분야에 니체(niche) 개념이 이용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 니체 개념을 포함하는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 토크의 선형성을 보장하는 토크 모터의 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 최적 설계 결과를 전역 최대점만을 찾는 최적화 기법과 비교하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다.
