  • Assessing response to therapy allows for prospective end point evaluation in clinical trials and serves as a guide to clinicians for making decisions. Recent prospective and randomized trials suggest the development of imaging techniques and introduction of new anti-cancer drugs. However, the revision of methods, or proposal of new methods to evaluate chemotherapeutic response, is not enough. This paper discusses the characteristics of the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1 suggested in 2009 and used widely by experts. It also contains information about possible dilemmas arising from the application of response assessment by the latest version of the response evaluation method, or recently introduced chemotherapeutic agents. Further data reveals the problems and limitations caused by applying the existing RECIST criteria to anti-cancer immune therapy, and the application of a new technique, immune related response criteria, for the response assessment of immune therapy. Lastly, the paper includes a newly developing response evaluation method and suggests its developmental direction.

  • A real-time path planning of mobile robots is a broad topic, covering a large spectrum of different technologies and applications. Briefly a path planning is designated moving technique from current pose to desired pose. It is remarkably easy to handle for human, not for robot. It is difficult that a robot recognizes surround to get a current pose and to avoid an obstacles. In this paper covers kinematics, path planning for efficient movements of a mobile robot. Kinematics of mobile robot which is suggested in this paper is exploited to create reliable and suitable motions. In addition, Gradient method is a algorithm which can guarantee for real-time path planning.

  • Real-time supply chain environments based on RFID will be an important topic in future society; Nevertheless, adopting RFID in real industry SCM is still in its infancy. The aim of this paper is to develop the physical framework of a fully adopting RFID system from manufacturing to recycle phase and measure the effect. So, we built a simulation station with fully appling RFID and analyzed benefits with mathematic model. Then, specifying the advantages and improvement scheme for real industry limitations were suggested. This work concluded that fully appling RFID in SCM gives improvement of quality and service to both production and consumer.

  • The number of studies on social media has increased rapidly worldwide. There has been, however, little effort to assess the achievements and limitations of social media studies up to present. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematical viewpoint on social media research published by scholarly business-related journals. Our analysis focus on research topic, functionality, targeted media types, methodology, and characteristics. User research receives the most attention, followed by effect research in terms of developmental models of media research agenda. The major methodological trend is online survey. Facebook and twitter are the two most popular mediums studied in literature, and social media is mainly characterized as information sharing as well as relationship building. Two recommendations are suggested in ways to strengthen social media research: more various topics and application areas, and the rigor and diversity of research methods.

  • The purpose of this study is to find the structural relationships among major satisfaction, career search efficacy, and career exploration behavior with marine science high school students. For investigating this topic, 524 students were surveyed from the marine science high schools. In order to find out the structural relationships among major satisfaction, career search efficacy, and career exploration behavior, structural equation modeling was used. Followings were the results of the research: (a) Major satisfaction effected significantly on the career search efficacy. (b) Career search efficacy effected significantly on the career exploration behavior. (C) There was not significant direct cause and effects from major satisfaction to career exploration behavior, but indirect effect was significant. Some recommendations were suggested for increasing career exploration behavior of marine science high school students.

  • Since the coupling of cavitation modeling with turbulent flow is the difficulty topic, a numerical simulation for two phase flow remains as one of the challenging issues in the society. This research focuses on the development of numerical code to deal with incompressible two phase flow around conical body combined with cavitation model suggested by Kunz et al. with k-e turbulent model. The simulation results are compared to experimental data to verify the validity of the developed code. The calculation results show very good agreement with experimental observations. Also, the calculation of cavitation in cryogenic fluid is being done by implementing the temperature sensitivity in government equations and it is still in the progress. This code have been being further extended to 3D compressible two phase flow for the study on the fluid dynamics around inducers and impellers in turbo pump system.

  • Information literacy has been defined as "the ability to access, evaluate, and use information from a variety of sources." Recently, information literacy has become a hot topic in Korean education circles and school library fields, but few publications describe how to assess information literacy skills. This study is the first stage to develop a measurable assessment tool of the information literacy skills of korean high school students. In this paper, related projects, curricular models, and rubrics are reviewed and an assessment tool is suggested. This tool will be field-tested and revised on the results in the near future.

  • The pure navigation system using Inertial Navigation Unit(INU) which has very accurate short term stabilities but not long term gives rise to position errors propotional to time. On the contrary, Global Positioning System(GPS) which is bounded its errors to some fixed ranges shows higher accuracy in the long term, and lower accuracy in the short term than that of INS. Recently the integration of these two systems is one of the main topic in the field of navigation system. In this thesis, the implementation of kalman filter on the real time navigation computer and step jump error compensation method is suggested.

  • In injection molding, location of gates have great influence on the quality of plastic parts. Usually, they are located by releated trial and errors of experienced mold designers. In this topic we will present the numerical algorithm for finding the optimal gate locations. Optimization algorithm is devided into two stages. In the first stage, candidated optimal gate locations can be found by geometry of part only; whereas in the next step, more acculate gate locations are selected byiterative computation with optimization part and analysis part. So from the following study, we suggested the modified flow-volume method, which will define the optimal gate locations in injection mold design.

  • Connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system is an important topic in redundancy design of the complex system reliability and it's maintenance policy. Previous studies applied Monte Carlo simulation and genetic, simulated annealing algorithms to tackle the difficulty of maintenance policy problem. These algorithms suggested most suitable maintenance cycle to optimize maintenance pattern of connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system. However, genetic algorithm is required long execution time relatively and simulated annealing has improved computational time but rather poor solutions. In this paper, we propose the ant colony optimization approach for connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system that determines maintenance cycle and minimum unit cost. Computational results prove that ant colony optimization algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and tabu search in both execution time and quality of solution.
