The purpose of this study was identifying the essential concept of home of middle class and aged housewives by using a critical incident methodology. All 30 subjects participated in structured interviews designed to elicit statements describing the attributes of home and non-home environment. The qualities of comfort, place-attachment, self-expression, fundamental values and personal identity, social relationships, economic value, and a suitable physical structure were associated with home environments, and were absent in residences which were not regarded as homes.

This paper proposes an image processing algorithm for detecting obstacles on road using DLI(disparity of lane-related information) that is generated by stereo images acquired from dual cameras mounted on a moving vehicle. The DLI is a disparity that is acquired using a single lane information from road lane detection. For the purpose to reduce processing time, we use small block of edge-histogram based blocking logic. This algorithm detects moving objects such as preceding vehicles and obstacles. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in a personal computer with the road image data of a typical highway. We successfully performed experiments under a wide variety of road conditions without changing parameter values or adding human intervention. Experimental results also showed that the proposed DLI is quite successful.

This study examined the work - family relationship of married women in the digital age centered on avoidance of childbirth. Married women 's age, education level, family members living together, work - family affects the avoidance of childbirth. Also, it is analyzed that similar childbirth avoidance phenomenon occurs in the result of the number of future children. Based on the results of the research, it can be suggested that the support of the family living together, the stable employment of married women, and the family-friendly incentive system will have a positive effect on childbirth.

Background: The moderated neutron calibration fields using $^{241}Am$-Be sources and a graphite moderator have been constructed at the Facility of Radiation Standard (FRS) in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Materials and Methods: The neutron spectra of the fields were evaluated by the Monte-Carlo calculations and measurements using the Bonner Multi-sphere Spectrometer. Results and Discussion: The fields have continuous neutron spectra from several MeV to thermal neutron energy, with fluence-averaged energies of 0.84 MeV and 0.60 MeV. Reference values of fluence rates and ambient/personal dose equivalent rates were determined from neutron spectra by measurements. Conclusion: Currently, the fields are available for calibration or performance test of neutron measuring instruments.

The purpose of this paper is on employees as internal customers and the critical role this group plays in the delivery of quality results. The set up of research model for verification was as follows. The research model was drawn as internal service quality level $\Rightarrow$ internal customer satisfaction $\Rightarrow$ enterprise outcome. Then, two hypotheses were established to the research model. Through the factor analysis and multiple regression analysis, the results are as follows. First, internal service quality level turned out to be affected indirectly through internal customers' satisfaction rather than a direct factor to affect the enterprise outcome. Second, internal customers' satisfaction was proved to be the most important factor for the enterprise outcome as ti was the intimate factor precedent to the enterprise outcome. However, there could be a variation of response according to the personal circumstances of respondents since the respondents were from different enterprises and consisted various job positions and age group. Namely it included a limitation of rather unaccurate resulting values because the transverse methods were performed for convenience though it needed a longitudinal research to accomplish the general purpose of this study.

This paper applicate to the large flowers management house, personal office or home, which breed flowers for the profit or hobby. We suggest flower water supply assistant, which supply water anytime to prevent die from water shortage. Our system applicate to the flowerpot less than two at first. We measure humidity by use humidity sensor and control water supply valve automatically. The water supply valve will be opened when the humidity drop to the less than critical values.

The learning, which is an extended concept from the concept of continuos improvement and replace it, has become a very important core concept in Malcom Baldridge National Quality Award these days. The most potent core value among 11 core values is 'organizational and personal learning' Embedded learning in the organization is also a critical part to get a high score in approach scoring criteria for 6 categories except results category. But the concept of learning is often overlooked for the people who have interests in MB award or TQM. This paper review and analyze the concept of learning which has appeared In MB criteria since it's first appearance.

The learning, which is a view extended from and replaces the concept of continuous improvement, has become the very core concept in Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The most potent one among 11 core values in MBNQA Model is 'organizational and personal learning'. Learning also plays a critical role to get the good scores for 6 categories except results category among 7 categories of MBNQA Model. But the concept of learning often has been overlooked by the people who are interested in the MB award or TQM. This paper reviews and analyzes the concept of learning in the MB criteria since it first appears in 1993 to enlighten the importance of learning.

This study examines the personal characteristics, organizational attitudes, technical performances, and reward preferences of R&D professionals with Ph.D. degree in large private companies in Korea. Based on survey data from 887 professionals in nine different R&D organizations, the following results are found; 1) R&D professionals with Ph.D. degree exhibit higher autonomy preference, need for achievement, self-efficacy, technical career orientation, and performance proficiency than other R&D professionals; 2) As their organizational tenure increases, performance proficiency and transfer career orientation increases but their socialized level of organizational goals and values does not change; 3) They produce more technical publications and exhibit more positive organizational attitude than other R&D professionals; 4) They are more likely to prefer job content, professional, and job security rewards. These empirical findings suggest several theoretical and practical implications for the management of R&D professionals with Ph.D. degree in the large Korean firms.

This paper desfcribes the formulation for the analysis of the free vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic supports by the transfer influence coefficient method. This method was developed on the base of the concept of the successive transmission of dynamic influence coefficients. The analysis algorithm for circular cylindrical shell elastically restrained by springs, which plays an important role in many industrial fields, is discussed. The supporting springs have the axial, circumferential, radial and rotational spring constants uniformly distributed along the circumference of the shell. The simple computational results on a personal computer demonstrate the validity of the present method, that is, the numerical high accuracy, the high speed analysis method and the flexibility for programming, compared with results of the transfer matrixmethod and reference. We also confirmed that the present algorithm could obtain the solutions of high accuracy for system with a number of intermediate rigid supports. And we could easily treat the intermediate support and all boundary conditions by adequately varying the values of spring constants.
