This paper presents a method of detecting motion isometry from the motions of two objects in a three-dimensional space. We define the motion isometry based on the group theory and a newly defined coordinate system. Motion isometry can be detected using the coordinate system which we call Motion Specific Coordinate System(MSCS). In addition, we present an algorithm if two motions are isometric using the coordinate system. The algorithm can detect the difference in the motions of objects irrespective of their positions or the directions of their motions in a space. The algorithm can also detect the motion difference in the case of segmented objects which have several joints. The motion quantity is represented by translation values or rotation angles about some axes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the quantitative research literature on measuring caring in order to identify overall trends in measuring caring. Methods: Fifty three papers were selected from four databases including RISS4U, DBpia, KISS, and Korea Med. Results: The number of measuring caring papers has increased since 2000. Approximately 60 % of the total papers were descriptive and correlative design researches with convenience sampling. Jean Waston's theory was the most popular conceptual framework, but much of the research tended to be conducted without any conceptual framework. In that kind of research, 'caring' terms were used without definition. The most frequently used term for the concept of caring was nurses' caring behaviors. Also, 'nurses' was one of the most popular subjects. Thirty six measuring caring instruments were used. Twenty were developed in foreign countries and translated into Korean. The others were developed originally in Korean. Interpersonal Caring Technique - Communication Skills Scale, based on the interpersonal process model, was the most frequently used tool. Among the translated instruments, Coates' Caring Efficacy Scale was the most popular. Some instruments were used without validation. Conclusion: These results provide basic data on measuring caring and indicate directions for further research. In particular, validation studies of measuring caring instruments are needed.

In this paper, a new discrete Symbol Timing Recovery (STR) algorithm, is proposed. This algorithm is derived from the optimum estimation theory. The algorithm combines the advantages of Mueller and $M\"{u}ller$ algorithm and Gardner algorithm, and avoids some of their shortcomings. The implementation of the new timing detector is simple and the combined operations of Carrier Recovery (CR) -STR is possible because the operation of the new STR is independent of the carrier phase. On the other hand, the behavior of nonlinear characteristics in the new algorithm is analyzed and explained. The performance evaluation is accomplished in detail by numerical calculations and Monte-Carlo simulations. In these respects, this algorithm is similar to Gardner's algorithm, but in tracking performance due to pattern jitter at small rolloff, the proposed algorithm is superior to Gardner's algorithm.

본 논문에서는 효율적인 이동성 관리를 위한 이동성 예측 기법을 소개한다. 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자가 지리적 위치의 제약없이 언제, 어디서나 다른 네트워크 시스템과 메시지를 주고 받을수 있다. 그러나, 통신자원의 부족, 잦은 접속단절 , 사용자의 움직임 등과같은 이동 컴퓨팅 시스템의 특징 때문에, 지능적이고 효율적인 이동성관리가 요구된다. 이동 컴퓨팅 시스템이 지능적이고 효율적인 이동성관리를 통하여 높은 질의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 이동 사용자의 움직임 패턴들을 능동적으로 고려하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 이동 사용자의 과거수일, 수개월동안의 움직임 패턴 즉, 이동사용자의 위치연혁으로부터 미래 위치를 예측하는 지능적 이동성 예측기법(intelligent mobility prediction scheme)을 제안한다. 모델링 방법으로서 뉴로-퍼지 추론시스템(neuro-fuzzy inference system)을 이용한다. 뉴로-퍼지 추론 시스템이 이동 사용자가 움직이게 되는 미래 위치를 예측하기 때문에 , 본 논문에서의 이동성 예측 기법은 통신채널의 사전 배당, 부족한 자원의 사전 할당등을 위해서 사용될 수 있다. 게다가, 본 논문의 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 기법이 다양한 이동 환경에 대해서 높은 예측 정확도를 갖음을 보여준다.

In this paper, a structural damage identification method (SDIM) is developed to identify the line crack-like directional damages generated within a cylindrical shell. First, the equations of motion fur a damaged cylindrical shell are derived. Based on a theory of continuum damage mechanics, a small material volume containing a directional damage is represented by the effective orthotropic elastic stiffness, which is dependent of the size and the orientation of the damage with respect to the global coordinates. The present SDIM is then derived from the frequency response function (FRF) directly solved from the dynamic equations of the damaged cylindrical shell. In contrast with most existing SDIMs which require the modal parameters measured in both intact and damaged states, the present SDIM requires only the FRF-data measured in damaged state. By virtue of utilizing FRF-data, one may choose as many sets of excitation frequency and FRF measurement point as needed to acquire a sufficient number of equations fer damage identification analysis. The numerically simulated damage identification tests are conducted to study the feasibility of the present SDIM.

It is by the mad scientists that the ontological and epistemological turn was made in that scientific era. They achieved a scientific revolution although they were regarded as eccentric, comic, unsound, and evil ones in the dark and dismal labs. Likewise, a scientist who would like to create an anomaly, something novel and abnormal, tended to be considered mad and treated as such either because of his scientific theory which differed from those of other scientists or because his obstinate methodology was often blamed for its immorality and profaneness. Despite the fanciful purpose and the anomalous way in which the mad scientists did their experiments, these were attempts to explore new scientific terrain and find something new or unexpected, which often raised controversies between the old paradigm and the new one. As Thomas Kuhn manifests, subsequently, "an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one" and then, "there must be a conflict between the paradigm that discloses anomaly and the one that later renders the anomaly lawlike." In that sense, Frankenstein's, Jekyll's, and Moreau's eerie challenges can be interpreted as efforts to achieve the ambitious goal of solving the scientific mysteries of the world in such unfavorable environmental conditions as specified in the three novels.

The recent revival of phenomenology and aesthetics is deeply connected to the development of neuroscience which studies the nervous system and the brain with particular regard to cognition and memory. How are those fields gathered into building up the basis for the communication not only between human beings but also between humanity and its environment? This paper examines the human mind considered unseparable from the body, with reference to Merleau-Ponty's two major works: Phenomenology of Perception (1962) and The Visible and the Invisible (1968). While reading these texts, I investigate the way he overturns the Cartesian cogito and establishes the body as the ground of perception. According to him, human perception is chiefly obtained through the body rather than consciousness. Influenced by William James, who produced the unique concept of cognition and memory through his experiments with the brain, Merleau-Ponty extends Heideggerian Desein to the field of the embodied mind. James also anticipates Bergson, who regards memory as the product of interaction between consciousness and matter (or the body). The intervention of the body which stores the past experiences makes it impossible for us to capture the present moment in itself. This failure, however, is viewed as positive by Merleau-Ponty because the human body is not only a medium of social interaction, but also that of ecological communion.

The purpose of the research to evaluate the efficiency and productivity growth rate of some Vietnamese commercial banks in the period 2008-2020. Using input and output selection theory, the author selected 2 models, estimating the efficiency for model 1 and estimating the yield change for both the models. We have built a model to estimate the efficiency and calculate as well as decompose the productivity growth of Vietnamese commercial banks during the period of active mergers and acquisitions activities in the banking system. Based on the results of the efficiency estimation, TFP shows during mergers and acquisitions, efficiency fluctuates but in an inverted U-shape (increasing from 2008-2011 but decreasing from 2013 to 2020). The estimated results of the impact assessment model show that FDI reduces the efficiency of banks. Productivity analysis shows that 6 out of 23 banks in the study period had positive TFP growth (tfpch > 1) due to technical progress and management efficiency. The findings of this study suggest that Vietnam's commercial banking system has many opportunities to improve operational efficiency in many aspects. In which, there are opportunities to increase credit, improve governance as well as improve the technology level of each bank. In addition, along with traditional products such as deposits and loans, diversification with a wide range of products and services is an important factor to enhance customer experience and demand in commercial banks.

For a long period, vowel reduction has been accepted as one of the most common pronunciation rules in Russian phonology. However, since the rules have been modified in many ways after the influx of loanwords, [a, e, i, o, u, ${\star}$]-including [e, o]-can now be pronounced in unstressed position, obeying the rule of vowel reduction. Especially in Modern Russian, along with the destruction of the consonant pronunciation norm due to some relatively complex changes it underwent palatalization, consonant pronunciation has been simplified, and as a response to such a phenomenon, the specialization of vowel pronunciation rule is now occurring. In other words, in the interrelation between consonants and vowels, as the pronunciation rules for consonants are simplified and thus the contrast between consonants is weakened, the degree of dependence on pronunciation of segment in the vowel pronunciation rule has been elevated. Therefore, the analysis says that the degree of vowel reduction depends on a vowel's distance from a stressed syllable is not enough; the influence of surrounding phonemes-including consonants-or the formative characteristics of words themselves should also be considered. The introduction of Max-noncorner/UnderLex, a/an Licence constraint that is related to non-declension nouns, and that of IdentC[back] and ShareCV[back], which are faithfulness constraint and share constraint respectively that are related to the nature of consonants stresses that vowel pronunciation rules should not be simply viewed as rules for vowels; The rules should be analyzed with emphasis on their correlation with surrounding phonemes.
