Existing researches on movie genre have been focusing on the relationship between a specific genre and performance of a movie. However, most of films cross into multiple genres and new approach is needed for analyzing a genre network. In this study social network analysis was used to analyze the genre centrality and its relationship with movie performance by developing a genre network, i.e. network among multiple genres constructed via genre co-occurrence pattern in a specific movie. Three index of genre centrality, eigenvector centrality, degree centrality, and bonacich power centrality, were tested for the valued genre network. Results showed that the relationship between genre centrality and movie performance appeared to be inverted U-shaped. This empirical finding is in line with the theory of ambidexterity which emphasizes the balance of exploration and exploitation. In addition, this study can provide practical implications for movie producers, distributors, and theaters that need to develop genre strategies.

A context-aware service in ubiquitous computing environments aims to supply services according to users' situation information that is dynamically occurring. The existing context-aware workflow systems, such as FollowMe and uFlow, provide context-aware services based on a workflow, which uses users' situation information as transition conditions of a service. But they can't apply users' new service demands, which may dynamically occur even when a workflow is on going, to a workflow scenario. In this paper we propose a context-aware workflow system, which can reapply users' new service demands into an initial workflow without interrupting or deleting the workflow. The proposed system can provide context-aware services without interrupting of service by recognizing exactly a place holder that has to be changed in a workflow scenario and by reconstructing only the changed parts through an incremental parsing method. Therefore, a user can immediately apply his new service demands to an on-going workflow scenario, and he can be guaranteed continuous executions of context-aware services according to a workflow scenario, which includes new service demands.

Naval vessels are not regulated by the class rules, but by the special regulations. This study introduces the concept and characteristics of the regulations of U.S. Navy which has been the most reliable standards in design of naval vessels in Korea, and intends to help designers to comprehend the effect of each regulation on design results. Also, an optimum structural design method combined with the structural analysis theory is proposed for naval vessels following the regulations of U.S. Navy and is applied to the design of a naval vessel. After application of the optimum design method, its validity is shown and an optimum design of midship section is obtained. In addition, the optimum spaces or longitudinals and transverse web frames are found and the effect of main design variables can be investigated.

Lately, the improtance of smooth blasting is increasing on every construction fields, suchas underground caves, tunnels, and roadconstruction, etc. The main purpose of smooth blasting is to prevent unnecessary cracks from the base rockwhich preserved permanently and is to gain the smooth fracture plane. So, in smooth blashing, explosives with low detonating velocity are generally used. But it is difficult to discuss general theory on the smooth blashing because the mechanical properties of pertienent rocks are difficult regionally. Accordingly basic reserches on the smooth blasting are demended. In this paper, the mechanisms of the smooth blasting on the rocks containing discontinuities were discussd. Firstly, the writer predicted the formation of fracture plane and unevenness using mathematical methodology, the next the model blast tests were conducted in order to simulate the crack propagation modes from the blast holes. Through the research, the following conclusions were obtained l)The blast test results were in reasonally good agreement with the theoretical prediction. 2)The degree of discontinuity has an influence on the fracture morphology.

In this paper, we try to generalize ultraproducts in the category of locally convex spaces. To do so, we introduce D-ultracolimits. It is known [7] that the topology on a non-trivial ultraproduct in the category T $V^{ec}$ of topological vector spaces and continuous linear maps is trivial. To generalize the category Ba $n_{1}$ of Banach spaces and linear contractions, we introduce the category L $C_{1}$ of vector spaces endowed with families of semi-norms closed underfinite joints and linear contractions (see Definition 1.1) and its subcategory, L $C_{2}$ determined by Hausdorff objects of L $C_{1}$. It is shown that L $C_{1}$ contains the category LC of locally convex spaces and continuous linear maps as a coreflective subcategory and that L $C_{2}$ contains the category Nor $m_{1}$ of normed linear spaces and linear contractions as a coreflective subcategory. Thus L $C_{1}$ is a suitable category for the study of locally convex spaces. In L $C_{2}$, we introduce $l_{\infty}$(I. $E_{i}$ ) for a family ( $E_{i}$ )$_{i.mem.I}$ of objects in L $C_{2}$ and then for an ultrafilter u on I. we have a closed subspace $N_{u}$ . Using this, we construct ultraproducts in L $C_{2}$. Using the relationship between Nor $m_{1}$ and L $C_{2}$ and that between Nor $m_{1}$ and Ba $n_{1}$, we show thatour ultraproducts in Nor $m_{1}$ and Ba $n_{1}$ are exactly those in the literatures. For the terminology, we refer to [6] for the category theory and to [8] for ultraproducts in Ba $n_{1}$..

In order to seek the molecular basis of higher insecticidal activity of the carbamates with two methyl groups, m-xylyl-N-methylcarbamate(MXNMC) than the corresponding unsubstituted phenyl N-methylcarbamate(PNMC), these two derivatives have been studied by molecular orbital(MO) theoretically using extended $H\ddot{u}ckel$ theory(EHT), and analysis of regression and linear free energy relationship(LFER). The most stable stereo structure(Z, Z) shows that the phenyl group occupies vertical(${\theta}=90^{\circ}$) position on the plane of the N-methylcarbamyl group. Regression analysis shows that especially good correlation exists between the $pI_{50}$ values and the calculated MO quantities when the hydrogen atomic charge of metaposition and of m-methyl groups, and LUMO energy are taken as variables. The LFER analysis on the carbamylation indicates that field(F) effect(60%) is slightly larger than resonance(R) effect(40%) in PNMC(E>R), whereas, in case of MXNMC, R effect(98.6%) is much larger than F effect(1.4%)($R{\gg}F$). From the basis on the findings, the enhancement of insecticidal activity of MXNMC may be the result of hyperconjugation by m-methyl groups.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimal tax rate for gasoline in Korea, by utilizing both the parameters for the estimation of the optimal fuel taxes and the theoretical model considering externalities proposed by Parry and Small (2005). The result of simulation shows that the optimum fuel taxes in Korea is calculated in 382 korean won per liter, which is lower than fuel tax rate(529 korean won per liter) currently being imposed. The fuel tax is composed of two types of tax. First is Pigouvian tax caused by negative externality such as traffic congestion and accidents etc. And second is Ramsey tax for optimal commodity sales taxes. We find that Pigouvian tax in Korea is higher than one of U.S. and U.K and Ramsey tax is very small due to the inelastic labor supply comparing to consumption elasticity of fuel. When adjusting the elasticity of labor supply to the UK level, the optimal fuel tax in Korea is very close to the current level of 480 korean won per liter. This paper contributes to suggest the reasonable estimation and discussion in the social optimum fuel tax rates by utilizing the theory and simulation and improve the possibility of the derivation of optimum fuel taxes through both securing the exact parameters and modifying the theoretical model suitable for Korea.

The degree of cognitive conflict, conceptual change, and the retention of conception in studying 'the cause of rising water at burning a candle in a bottle' with anomalous data were compared by age and gender. According to 'change of belief in initial theory', 7 types of responses to anomalous data were ordered by 4 levels. In comparing the results by age, producing cognitive conflict by anomalous data, conceptual change, and the retention of conception were found to be more effective for older students than younger students. However, the degree of cognitive conflict was not significantly correlated with the conception and retention tests scores. The results of Mann-Whitney U test revealed that there were no significant differences by gender in the degree of cognitive conflict, conceptual change, and the retention of conception.

A probabilistic approach to identify the effects of uncertainties of soil strength parameters on searching a critical slip surface with the lowest reliability is introduced. In general construction field, it is impossible for the engineer to always gather a variety of statistical information of soil strength parameters for which lots of laboratory and in-situ soil testing are required and to use it with enough statistical knowledge. Thus, in order that the engineer may easily understand the probabilistic concept for the slope stability analysis, this study proposes a combined procedure to incorporate the engineering probabilistic tools into the existing deterministic slope stability analysis methods. Using UTEXAS 3, a slope stability analysis computer program developed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (U.S. COE), this study provides the results of this probabilistic slope stability analysis in terms of probability of failure or reliability index. This probabilistic method f3r slope stability analysis appears to yield more comprehensive results of slope reliability than does existing deterministic methods with safety factors alone.

Polysaccharides of marine algae exhibit different structural characteristics and interesting biological functions. In this study, crude polysaccharides (CP) of eleven Sri Lankan marine algae obtained through hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation were investigated for DPPH, alkyl, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry and for intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging activity in the Chang liver cell line. Characterization of CPs was done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and by analysis of the monosaccharide composition. Time-dependent density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations at the RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level for constructed dimeric units of the corresponding polysaccharides were used to resolve the FTIR spectra. CPs from Chnoospora minima showed the highest DPPH and alkyl radical scavenging activities and higher intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging effects for both AAPH and $H_2O_2$ induced ROS production in "Chang" cells. The major polysaccharide constituent in C. minima CP was identified as fucoidan and it displayed a higher sulfate content. The degree of sulfation of these polysaccharides suggests a positive correlation with the observed antioxidant properties.
