Most web-based learning is furnishing single side and consistent training resource to learner. Research was gone to apply item analysis method or to introduce web-based learning system using studying pattern. But, we need complicated algorithm or parameter setting etc, for apply these method. Therefore, in this research, we design and implement an item selection system in consideration of learner's incorrectness rate and problem frequency selection rate about question of item selection attribute. Also, as that embody business logic about item selection by EJB, efficient system development is available and we improved maintenance and reusability.

The performance of a novel medical question-answering engine called CliniCluster and existing search engines, such as CQA-1.0, Google, and Google Scholar, was evaluated using known-item searching. Known-item searching is a document that has been critically appraised to be highly relevant to a therapy question. Results show that, using CliniCluster, known-items were retrieved on average at rank 2 ($MRR@10{\approx}0.50$), and most of the known-items could be identified from the top-10 document lists. In response to ill-defined questions, the known-items were ranked lower by CliniCluster and CQA-1.0, whereas for Google and Google Scholar, significant difference in ranking was not found between well- and ill-defined questions. Less than 40% of the known-items could be identified from the top-10 documents retrieved by CQA-1.0, Google, and Google Scholar. An analysis of the top-ranked documents by strength of evidence revealed that CliniCluster outperformed other search engines by providing a higher number of recent publications with the highest study design. In conclusion, the overall results support the use of CliniCluster in answering therapy questions by ranking highly relevant documents in the top positions of the search results.

There have been many attempts to educationally utilize a computer. As a result, a number of learning programs and testing programs have been developed. Testing programs developed so far are rather focusing on giving learners questions without interactivity. Question givers also have to feed question data into a computer. Therefore, this thesis, firstly, explains how learners themselves feed question data into a computer. Secondly, this thesis explains how to develop such a system that can produce new questions based on the question data fed by learners. This paper also introduces the system environment, which features the test item generation system, and explains the system environment by exemplifying internal modules, a test item bank. Besides, we also describe how to apply this system to educational programs and identify whether it is possible to apply it to a Chinese subject and others.

Applications such as study guides and adaptive tutoring must rely on a fine grained student model to tailor their interaction with the user. They are useful for Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT), for example, where the test items can be administered in order to maximize the information. I study how to design learner tailoring question process for recommendation. And this process can be applied the CAT and I use the formal language such as CSP in each process development for efficient process design. I use the item difficulty of item response theory for question recommendation process and learner can choice the difficulty step for learning change to control the difficulty of question in next learning. Finally, this method displayed the structural difference to compare between existent and this process.

In this research, we proposed a learner tailoring question recommendation system for web based learning evaluation system. For teaming evaluation process, this system used the item difficulty Each question was stored and managed to the question bank. Item difficulty was recalculated during teaming process and feedback in next course. For learner tailoring question recommendation, learner could choice the teaming part and set the learning difficulty. In application result of proposal method, almost learner could improve learning score by controling teaming difficulty.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry announced promoting the project, 'Regional Agricultural Clusters,' in Feb. 2004 through 「The Comprehensive Plan for the Agriculture and Agricultural Communities」 and initiated a model project from 2005. The purpose of 'Regional Agricultural Clusters' is to develop regional agriculture by concentrating the resources and capacities of the region and maximizing the effect of integrating related projects. 31 towns in Geonggi and 2 towns (Ganghwa and Ongjin) in Incheon were chosen for the study based on the crop areas of 36 agricultural products from the Agricultural Census in 2000. For those 33 towns, factors such as the top 20 agricultural products, main producing districts and surveys on each towns were considered and we have concluded that these items are good subjects for 'Regional Agricultural Clusters' : We have decided on 18 items for what we call, 'Mini-Clusters,' a cluster in which the item's main producing district is in only one area of the town in question (in 30 projects out of 21 towns). Secondly, we have decided on 11 items for what we call, 'Base-Clusters,' a cluster in which the item's main producing district can be associated by name with the item, the production is sizeable, and can be found in several locations of the town in question (in 13 projects out of 11 towns). Finally, we have decided on 12 items for what we call, 'Broad-Based-Clusters, a cluster which the item's main producing district expands the past the vicinity of the town in question (in 19 projects out of 19 towns).

We are concerned with the question of servicing warranties for repairable items. During the warranty period, each time an item fails the manufacturer has the obligation to restore the item to operational condition either by repairing the item or by replacing it by a new item. In this paper, we consider the repair-replacement strategies based on the condition of the failed item. For products with phase-type lifetime distributions where the phases represent the condition of the item, we develop algorithms to determine the expected cost of servicing a warranty and use it in making the repair-replacement decision. Illustrative numerical examples are presented. We also propose a dynamic strategy by taking the expected remaining warranty cost into consideration.

We consider the question of warranties for repairable items. During the warranty period, each time an item fails the manufacturer has the obligation to restore the item to operational condition either by repairing the item or by replacing it by a new item. In this paper, we consider a warranty policy for making this decision based on the condition of the failed item. For products with phase-type lifetime distributions where the phases represent the condition of the item, we develop algorithms to determine the expected cost of servicing a warranty and use it in making the repair/replacement decision. illustrative numerical examples are presented.

This study examined the difference in the item characteristics in multiple-choice aptitude tests focusing on the response position, response length and question types. A university aptitude test consisting of 80 questions was used for this study. The subjects were 3120 senior high school students from 80 schools nation-wide (liberal arts-1650, natural sciences-1467 patients). The results suggest that item prediction is higher for numbers 2 and 3 (located in the middle) than numbers 1 and 4. The item discrimination was higher for pick-the-'wrong'-items than pick-the-'right'-items. In addition, longer choices are preferred. The suggestions for future research are provided based on these findings.
