The purposes of this study is to investigate the attitudes and value of fashion product description and consumer replies used in online shopping malls, and to examine the differences in the perceived reliability(objectivity, expertise, trustworthiness) preference and purchase intention toward the product as determined by the appeal type (evaluation-sentimental vs. factual-information) of the product description, the direction(negative vs. positive) and type(factual vs. evaluative) of consumer replies for the product in online shopping malls. Data was collected from female college students with fashion products purchase experience at online shopping malls by questionnaire survey (N=424) and analyzed by using frequency analysis, t-test and ANOVA. Results showed that consumers respondents tended to read product description and other consumer replies before purchasing, when shopping for fashion products through an on-line shopping mall. They thought that sellers' product description and the consumers' replies were helpful in making their decision; but, they were also skeptical about product description. Respondents showed higher perceived reliability, preference and purchase intention to the factual-information type product description than the evaluation-sentimental type. Positive consumer replies were more effective in yielding higher preferences and purchase intentions. Factual replies tend to yield higher reliability than evaluative replies.

Recently, board level solder joint reliability performance of IC packages during drop impact becomes a great concern to semiconductor and electronic product manufacturers. The handheld electronic products are prone to being dropped during their useful service life because of their size and weight. The IC packages are susceptible to solder joint failures, induced by a combination of printed circuit board (PCB) bending and mechanical shock during impact. The board level drop testing is an effective method to characterize the solder joint reliability performance of miniature handheld products. In this paper, applying the JEDEC (JESD22-B111) standard present a finite element modeling of the FBGA. The simulation results revealed that maximum stress was located at the outermost solder ball in the PCB or IC package side, which consisted well with the location of crack initiation observed in the failure analysis after drop reliability tests.

A certain number of products are sold each month and some of them are returned for repair. In this study both return rate and cumulative return rate are shown on the graph to show the general trend of how many products are returned as time goes by. Next this type of summary data can be considered as a conglomeration of both left and right censored data. So reliability analysis is attempted for this type of summary data. Lastly, left censored data can be traced to find the exact time period during which the product has been claimed. In that case the left censored data can be taken as failure data. So similar type of reliability analysis is attempted for the resulting right censored data.

For engineering, there are two major challenges in reliability analysis. First, to ensure the accuracy of simulation results, mechanical products are usually defined implicitly by complex numerical models that require time-consuming. Second, the mechanical products are fortunately designed with a large safety margin, which leads to a low failure probability. This paper proposes an efficient and high-precision adaptive active learning algorithm based on the Kriging surrogate model to deal with the problems with low failure probability and time-consuming numerical models. In order to solve the problem with multiple failure regions, the adaptive kernel-density estimation is introduced and improved. Meanwhile, a new criterion for selecting points based on the current Kriging model is proposed to improve the computational efficiency. The criterion for choosing the best sampling points considers not only the probability of misjudging the sign of the response value at a point by the Kriging model but also the distribution information at that point. In order to prevent the distance between the selected training points from too close, the correlation between training points is limited to avoid information redundancy and improve the computation efficiency of the algorithm. Finally, the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are verified compared with other algorithms through two academic examples and one engineering application.

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products and remanufacturing is an industrial process in which worn-out products are restored to like-new condition. Recycling and remanufacturing industry is environmentally and economically important industry and provides significant benefits to prevent waste of potentially useful materials and reduce energy usage. The purpose of this research is to investigate the trend of recycling and remanufacturing industry in Korea and other countries like Germany, Japan and America. The yield information is generally quite valuable to promote green growth industry as an important alternative in the 21st century.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual conditions of consumers' usage of functional golfwear which is widely used in the current sportswear market. The study was carried out on 225 golfers in Busan and KyungNam area based on the demographics such as gender, age, occupation, and income. The collected data was processed with SPSS 14.0 program using frequency analysis, reliability analysis, t-test, and ANOVA. In the results of the analysis, golfers did not show high reliability and satisfaction on the functional golfwear. In the results of the most function-required golfwear items, there were shirts, pants, footwear, gloves, windbreaker, innerwear etc. in order. Most of golfers answered that the function of golfwear was required for pleasant and comfort golf activity. Therefore, it is necessary for golfwear makers to develop consumer-oriented golfwear products which are reliable and satisfiable to golf consumers.

This study is to develop a web-based integrated system for flow of agricultural products based on recent researches with engineering approach. The system stands on the basis of web for accessibility and usability. Three parts of the system consist of analysis of regional shipping characteristics using tank model, estimation of pallet load efficiency with Monte Carlo Simulation, a long term prediction of market price with reliability analysis. Besides a decision support module for selecting optimal shipping market is added through synthesizing techniques and spatial analysis using GIS and applied to Chinese cabbage of Pyeongchang in 2004.

The issue is all about the study of warranty data collection and the analysis method to get a reasonable information of the products and improve reliability. In this paper, we consider the classification of warranty data analyses into a parametric and non-parametric analysis and method to get a reasonable information of the products. Also, it is considered the research trend by grouping the relationship among the studies. This study would be used to find the effective application and the condition of warranty data analysis.

PV system is consisted with PV module, inverter and BOS(balance of system). To have robustic operation more than 20 years, the expected and guaranteed durability and reliability of products should be met. Almost components of PV system are qualified through IEC standards at test laboratory. But the qualification certificate of product does not ensure long-term nondefective operation. PV module's expected life time is nowadays more than 20 years and annual maximum power degradation ratio would be less than -1%. But the power degradation ratio is basically based on real data more than several years' record. Developing test method for ensuring annual maximum power degradation ratio is very need because there are many new products every month with new materials. In this paper, we have suggested new test method under continuous artificial light irradiation test condition for analyze expected maximum power drop ratio.
