A model-to-model comparison is attempted between Princeton Ocean Model (POM) and Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) as a first step to extend our knowledge of models' performances in studying the East Sea circulation. The two models have fundamentally different numerical schemes and boundary conditions imposed on these models are not exactly the same each other. This study indicates that MICOM has a critical weak point in that it does not reproduce the shallow surface currents properly while it handles the thermohaline processes and associated movements of intermediate and deep waters efficiently. It is suggested that the mixed layer scheme needs to be modified so that it can match with inflow boundary conditions in order to reproduce the surface currents properly in MICOM. POM reproduces the surface current pattern better than MICOM, although the surface currents in POM appear to undergo the unrealistic seasonal variation and have exaggeratedly large vertical scale. These defects seem to arise during the process of adapting POM to the East Sea, and removing these defects is left as a future task.

This paper is a brief description on the task of the basic investigation of the water resource development of the principal river basins in this country for all- weather farming. In order to show how the people in the nation can best be benefited by further development of the water resources of the basins, this paper includes a description of the in individual basin's resource, its needs and problems, and its present and future development of the water resources within the natural drainage basin of the rivers are listed and their over-all results are summarised in the investigation report and separately filled. It is hoped that the government should continue and expand its detailed investigations of potential projects within the each principal river basin to obtain adequate information by which the Union of Land improvement Association can formulate a comprehensive plan for use of all the water resources of the basin's and select and recommend projects for successive stages of development.

This paper describes new tactile feedback patterns and the effect of their input performance for a button GUI activated by a tap gesture on mobile touch devices. Based on an analysis of touch interaction and informal user tests, several tactile feedback patterns were designed. Using these patterns, three user experiments were performed to investigate appropriate tactile feedback patterns and their input performance during interaction with a touch button. The results showed that a tactile pattern responding to each touch and release gesture with a rapid response time and short falling time provides the feeling of physically clicking a button. The suggested tactile feedback pattern has a significantly positive effect on the number of typing errors and typing task completion time compared to the performance when no feedback is provided.

In today's firms, there is an increasing awareness amongst managers and executives on the importance of secretary's role. This is a study on the profile of the corporate executive secretary's job responsibilities with emphasis on communication skills, interpersonal and foreign language fluency, which I deem relevant to their position. As a result, I believe that an executive secretary must obtain at least a two-year secretarial degree, Furthermore, I propose that their education must include and stress emphasis in foreign languages. Nevertheless, I feel that in today's global economy, it is important that executive secretaries are fluent in at least two(2) foreign languages that would enable him/her to write his/her boss' speeches, editing dictated materials and creating corresspondences. This study is believed to contribute to the education of the future executive secretaries and the managers etc.

This study is about the number expressed and the number not expressed in terms of the sum of consecutive natural numbers with a difference of 2k. Since it is difficult to generalize in cases of onsecutive positive integers with a difference of 2k, the table of cases of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 was examined to find the normality and to prove the hypothesis through the results. Generalized guesswork through tables was made to establish and prove the hypothesis of the number of possible and impossible numbers that are to all consecutive natural numbers with a difference of 2k. Finally, it was possible to verify the possibility and impossibility of the sum of consecutive cases of 124 and 2010. It is expected to be investigated the sum of consecutive natural numbers with a difference of 2k + 1, as a future research task.

Shannon and Weaver's semantic communication has been actively studied in recent years as a new communication method to provide intelligent mobile services without requiring more capacity, infrastructure, and energy, even with limited radio resources. Considered a breakthrough beyond the Shannon paradigm, semantic communication aims at successfully transmitting semantic information conveyed by a source rather than accurately receiving each symbol or bit, regardless of meaning. Thus, semantic communication can lead to knowledgeable systems that significantly reduce data traffic because the transmitter only transmits the necessary information related to a specific task. This study describes essential differences between existing and semantic communication, research trends related to semantic communication principles and theory, performance metrics of semantic communication, semantic communication system framework, and future research and development issues.

Objectives : This is a study for technological forecasting, aiming to find out the promising future technologies in KM(Korean Medicine) and deduce implications for the research and development of KM. Methods : The first pool of 145 technological tasks related to KM were composed by reviewing the existing data related to technological forecasting. The steering committee for the research set 99 final technological tasks. With the deduced technological tasks, mini-Delphi(2-round) method was conducted and 6 research items were used-the importance, realization time, urgency, technological competitiveness, the main agent that will push forward the task, and obstacles. Results : As a result on the time when the technology will be realized, 58 out of 99 technologies(59%) were predicted to be realized in the same year domestically and globally. The average of the importance of the 99 technological tasks was 72.9. Among them. As for the main agent to push forward the research and development of future technologies, 'industry-academic cooperation' took the highest portion at 58.7%, and regarding the obstacles to realize technological tasks, the lack of infrastructure(research funds) was the highest at 33.6%. Conclusions : This study shows that the development of basic technologies in the technologies of Korean medicine is insufficient and it is believed that the development of basic technologies is urgent to promote the development of application technologies.

According to separation policy between rail infrastructure and operation, the National Railroad Administration was converted to Korea Railroad Cooperation on Jan, 2005. That makes railway service assessment regarded as essential. About this matter, Section 15 of the Framework Act on Rail Industry Development and section 26 of the Rail Business Act shows that the railway service assessment should be conducted every 2 years. The government can officially announce the result and give orders operation company to improve service level. In the first railway service assessment in 2006, the principal railroad lines and stations were investigated. Rail supply service index and customer satisfaction index are introduced. It includes service items of supply, reliability, convenience, safety and customer satisfaction. This study presents the contents of 2006 rail service assessment. Some points of assessment which should be improved are analyzed as well.

This paper illustrates the process of developing and configuring the prototype Computer Analysis System for Controlling Occupational WORKload (CAS-COWORK). The software interface between the database and expert system was attempted. The database is used for storing and retrieving series of data entered by general users and the expert system is used for identifying and solving occupational problem areas. Two theories were applied in developing the algorithm base of CAS-COWORK that were used to calculate overall workload stress level. The fuzzy set theory was introduced to capture the subject‘s workload stress perception. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was introduced to estimate the importance of the task and workplace variables. The purpose of the system development is for future prediction and problem solving which would be highly valuable to the industrial engineer.
