  • In this study, two representative measures in the job-focused approach and the employee-focused approach of emotional labor are explored to examine dimensionality and the predictability of each emotional labor measure on key consequences that include job stress, customer orientation, and job satisfaction. Data obtained from 193 department store apparel saleswomen were submitted for analysis. The results show that the emotional dissonance and emotional effort of the Kruml and Geddes measure are good predictors for job stress, customer orientation, and job satisfaction. In a test of the Davies measure, job stress is predicted by emotional dissonance and frequency while customer orientation is predicted by duration, variety, and the frequency of emotional expression in jobs. Duration is also a key predictor for job satisfaction. The result confirm the dimensionality and predictability of two emotional labor measures as well as suggests the need for the careful selection and refinement of appropriate measures according to consequences.

  • Although the theory of stellar structure and evolution is considered one of the most successful developments in astrophysics, there still remains a significant mismatch between theoretical stellar models and the observed main sequence of the best studied nearby open clusters. To ease the tension, empirical corrections to the color-temperature transformations are used as a simple, but practical way of overcoming the difficulty than directly examining stellar atmosphere models that have large theoretical complexities and uncertainties. I will describe our continuing effort to calibrate stellar isochrones using cool main-sequence stars in Praesepe, complementing our previous work based on the Hyades and the Pleiades, and provide an extensive test of our models using photometry of cool and metal-rich main-sequence stars in NGC 6791. Finally, I will discuss the implication of our results on the mass loss in NGC 6791.

  • This paper used OPNET to simulate video streaming service a test IP network and MPLS network with the traffic shaping that have with CQ_ LLQ algorithm, LSP of fixed bandwidth, policy of limitation users and measures parameters such as delay, throughput, packet loss. To verify the performance of video streaming service in IP network and MPLS network, two scenario that have same topology and traffic source. One is the simulation for best-effort service in pure IP network. The other is the simulation for QoS-enabled service in MPLS Network. Based on simulation result, the MPLS network with CQ_ LLQ algorithm and fixed LSP show advantage of the video streaming service QoS, specially delay and packet loss

  • Orthostatic stress in human cardiovascular system following spaceflight remains a critical problem in the current lifercience space program. The study presented in this paper is part of an ongoing effort to use mathematical models to investigate the effects of gravitational stresses on the cardiovascular system of normals and microgravity adapted individuals. We employ a twelve compartment lumped parameter representation of the hemodynamic system coupled to set-point models of the arterial baroreflex and the cardiopulmonary reflex to investigate the transient response of heart rate to orthostatic stress. We simulate current hypotheses concerning the mechanisms underlying postspaceflight orthostatic intolerance over a range of physiologically reasonable values and compare the simulations to astronaut stand-test data pre-and postflight.

  • Purpose: This study was to identify factors explaining health empowerment of older adults with high-risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 148 older adults residing in two areas who have one or more of the following diseases; hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Health empowerment had a positive correlation with health literacy and social support. Perceived health status and social activity participation showed significant contribution in explaining health empowerment. Conclusion: This study showed that enhancing perceived health status and social activity participation are vital in an effort to improve health empowerment of the population. Main findings of this study can contribute to developing health empowerment interventions to improve health behavior practices of the older adults.

  • The purpose of this study is to suggest and verify high-strength concrete mix design model applying neural network theory, in order to minimize effort and time wasted by using trial and error method utill now. There are 7 input and 2 output to predict mix design. 40 data of mix design were learned with back-propagation algorithm. Then they are repeatedly learned back-propagation in neural network theory. Also, to verify predicted model, we analyzed and compared value predicted from 60MPa mix design with value measured by actual compressive strength test.

  • This study focused on the development of a conceptual model of the turnover intention of part-time sales associates in apparel retailing. A convenience sample of 294 college students who were part-time apparel workers was used to test the model. In this proposed model, organizational support and growth opportunity indirectly influenced turnover intention through work engagement, which in turn positively affected work effort, job performance, and job satisfaction. The results also revealed a direct relationship between work/role stress and burnout, which influenced turnover intention. These findings make a unique contribution to the extant literature and enable development of relevant strategies by apparel retailers.

  • Accurate prediction of a supersonic missile base drag continues to defy even well-rounded CFD codes. In an effort to address the accuracy and predictability of the base drags, the influence of grid system and competitive turbulence models on the base drag is analyzed. Characteristics of some turbulence models is reviewed through incompressible turbulent flow over a flat plate, and performance for the base drag prediction of several turbulence models such as Baldwin-Loman(B-L), Spalart-Allmaras(S-A), k-$\varepsilon$, k-$\omega$ model is assessed. When compressibility correction is injected into the S-A model, prediction accuracy of the base drag is enhanced. The NSWC wind tunnel test data are utilized for comparison of CFD and semi-empirical codes on the accuracy of base drag predictability: they are about equal, but CFD tends to perform better. It is also found that, as angle of attack of a missile with control fins increases, even the best CFD analysis tool we have lacks the accuracy needed for the base drag prediction.

  • The purpose of this research is to analyze the educational experiences of competent engineering students and finding the reason why they invest their time and efforts engaging in school activities. Five students with high GPA, high K-CESA scores and successful employment or entrance test scores, participated in the survey and the interview. In checking their responses, their activities' records were gathered from school DB. According to the modified framework based on the personal investment theory, the interviews, survey and DB records were analyzed on the sense of self, the social cultural environment, and pattern of behaviors in schools. The competent engineering students are able to manage themselves, in maintaining a good relationship with the collegiate, and in having high self-efficiency. They also tend to put effort into their studies and participate in inbound and outbound school activities. At the last part, freshmen foundation, relationship within college, students' activity related future career, economic stability during studies are suggested for supporting students in universities.

  • The objective of this study is to test whether human embryonic stem cells expressing Nurr1 (Nurr1-transfected hES cells) could be expressed TH according to neuronal differentiation. As an effort to direct differentiation of hES (MB03 registered in NIH) cells to dopamine-producing neuronal cells, Nurr1 was transfected using conventional transfection protocol into MB03 cell and examined the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after differentiation induced by retinoic acid (RA) and ascorbic acid (AA).
