A 6-Gb/s differential voltage mode driver is presented whose output impedance and pre-emphasis level can be controlled independently. The voltage mode driver consists of five binary-weighted slices each of which has four sub-drivers. The output impedance is controlled by the number of enabled slices while the pre-emphasis level is determined by how many sub-drivers in the enabled slices are driven by post-cursor input. A prototype transmitter with a voltage-mode driver implemented in a 65-nm CMOS logic process consumes 34.8-mW from a 1.2-V power supply and its pre-emphasized output signal shows 165-mVpp,diff and 0.56-UI eye opening at the end of a cable with 10-dB loss at 3-GHz.

The strength of cement mortar is one of the most important factors in design and construction. Strength can vary widely depending on factors such as water cement ratio, aggregate and materials and curing. In the study, it was found that the standardized method of making the cement mrtar was different from the standard method of preparing the cement mortar by the different process of the cement mortar. I wanted to know the difference. Experiments were carried out to investigate the differences in strength, physical properies and performance depending on the points when the sample were made long in vertical form.

As the areas of computer application are expanded, real-time application environments that must process as many transactions as possible within their deadlines, such as a stock transaction systems, ATM switching systems etc, have been increased recently. The reason why the conventional database systems can't process soft real-time applications is the lack of prediction and poor performance on processing transaction's deadline. If transactions want to access data stored at the secondary storage, they can not satisfy requirements of real-time applications because of the disk delay time. This paper designs a main-memory database prototype systems to be suitable to real-time applications and then this system can produce rapid results without disk i/o as all of the information are loaded in main memory database. In thesis proposed the improved techniques with respect to logging, checkpointing, and recovering in our environment. In order to improve the performance of the system, a) the frequency of log analysis and redo processing is reduced by the proposed redo technique at system failure, b) database consistency is maintained by improved fuzzy checkpointing. The performance model is proposed which consists of two parts. The first part evaluates log processing time for recovery and compares with other research activities. The second part examines checkpointing behavior.

Purpose - The objective of the paper is to describe the relationship between consumer perceptions and attitudes of complaints against the behavior of their complaint. Research design, data, methodology - The study explore the process of complain intention which mediated by perceptual process and attitudinal behavior. Structural equation modeling used in this study is aim to describe the relationship simultaneously. The two samples failure (high vs. low level services) will be compared using analysis of variance. Results - The study found that the higher the alienation, the lower the perceived value of consumer complaint and the higher likelihood of successful perceived consumer complaint. The study also found the more positive the prior complaint experience, the more positive attitude toward complaining, the higher the perceived value of complaint and the higher the likelihood of successful perceived complaint. Furthermore, the perceived value of customer's complaint affect positive intention and perceived consumer likelihood of successful complaint increases intention complaint. Conclusions - The findings of this study show that the effect of a number of personal antecedents such as alienation; prior complaint experience and controllability will vary toward the complaint intention. Furthermore, the attitudinal and perceptual factors play a partial mediation role for that relationship.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of employee competence on the relationship between the utilization of non-regular workers and firm performance. Design/methodology/approach - This study utilized 427 firm level data from HCCP. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the multiple regression analysis were conducted to verify the hypotheses. Findings - We found that the utilization of non-regular workers is not significantly related to firm performance. However, the utilization of non-regular workers had a negative relationship with employee competence, and that employee competence mediated the relationship between the utilization of non-regular workers and firm performance. Research implications or Originality - As environmental uncertainty and competition between firms intensify, more and more firms are utilizing non-regular workers. Research on the relationship between the utilization of non-regular workers and firm performance is continuously conducted, but research on the process of explaining the specific relationship between them is still insufficient. Our study contributes the related research area by identifying the mediating role of employee competence on the utilization of non-regular workers and firm performance relationship.

One of the most important parts of the user experience in mobile device interaction is navigation design. Navigation design plays a key role in enabling users to perform their desired functions and to access the information and content they need by mobile applications. In this process, differences in cultural characteristics and backgrounds of users may affect the navigation design, and thus the user experience may represent a significant difference. This study compared the navigation design of popular mobile shopping applications in China and the United States to examine the differences and analyzed the reasons. Based on this comparison, we proposed that the Chinese preferred rich information, colorful images and various menu styles, while Americans preferred simple designs, layouts and limited types of menu. In addition, two types of mobile shopping application navigation design schemes reflecting cultural characteristics were evaluated to examine the difference of Chinese and American users' preference, and the validity of our study was verified based on the results.

A nonlinear dynamic response structural optimization process is proposed for the television (TV) packing system that protects the damage from a drop situation using the equivalent static loads (ESLs). Topology optimization using ESLs is carried out for conceptual design, and shape optimization using stress ESLs for a virtual model is performed for detailed design. Stress ESLs are static loads that generate the same displacement as well as the stress fields of linear static analysis as those of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Thus, the response of nonlinear dynamic analysis can be utilized as a constraint in the linear static structural optimization. An actual example is solved to validate the process. The drop test of a television packaging system is analyzed by LS-DYNA, and NASTRAN is used for optimization.

This study aimed to propose effective ways to integrate CLO into educational settings by conducting a comparative analysis of pattern functions in YUKA and CLO, specifically focusing on skirt prototypes and variations. CLO, being a 3D virtual sample CAD tool, is mainly used in education to facilitate the creation of 3D virtual clothing. In order to explore the applicability of CLO's pattern functions in pattern education, CAD education experts were asked to produce two types of skirt prototypes and two skirt variations. Subsequently, in-depth interviews were conducted. In addition, the skirt pattern creation process was recorded on video and used for comparative analysis of YUKA and CLO pattern functions. The comparison revealed that CLO provides the pattern tools necessary for drafting skirt prototypes. The learning curve for acquiring the skills necessary for drafting and transforming skirt prototypes was found to be relatively shorter for CLO compared to YUKA. In addition, due to CLO's surface-based pattern drawing method, it is difficult to move or copy only specific parts of the outline, and there are some limitations in drawing right angle lines. In the pattern transformation process, CLO's preview function proved to be advantageous, and it was highly rated on user convenience due to the intuitive UI. Thus, CLO shows promise for pattern drafting education and is deemed to have high scalability as it is directly linked to 3D virtual clothing.
