A methodology for collection and analysis of automotive field reliability data is presented. Automotive warranty system usually covers a pre-determined period of time and/or mileage accumulation. Therefore mileage information for the vehicles that have not experienced any failure or problems during the warranty period is not available. In this paper, a reliability analysis method using the estimated mileage distribution from an additional survey for vehicles that have not any record during the warranty period is proposed. Methods of reliability analysis using the warranty information collected under the EU and US warranty policies are also provided.

In data collection using a mobile sink, the time that sensor nodes are included in its communication radius is not uniform. The data collection schedule in non-uniform time is needed between a mobile sink and sensor nodes for efficient data collection. The existing data collection schemes using a mobile sink considered staying time in its communication range and data collected by the mobile sink. However, they did not consider the characteristics of data collected in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a TDMA based schedule scheme that consists of the data collection period by each sensor nodes and the data collection period between a mobile sink and sensor nodes. Moreover, we propose a data collection scheme considering the variability of data in sensor networks. The proposed data collection scheme collects only data that changed larger than the threshold set by the user. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with DWEDF that aims to collect data uniformly. As a result, our experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces about 23% energy consumption and the data collection failure of sensor nodes over the DWEDF.

The national highway traffic counts system consists of short duration counts and continuous counts. Unlike continuous counts, short duration counts are performed by collection of a few days period and thus, the magnitude of deviation of collected data from AADT varies depending upon when data collection takes place. Therefore, this study was done to find out the best months and days of data collection of each highway classification in order to enhance the accuracy of AADT estimation. Continuous counts, another type of the national traffic counts system, are performed by collection of 365-day period using a permanent traffic counter. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the number of days for which the counter malfunctions to a minimum in order to enhance the accuracy of data. However, from time to time the permanent traffic counter malfunctions due to various causes and thus, cannot collect data. Therefore, this study was done to find out whether the age of counter, the ratio of heavy vehicle volume to total traffic volume, etc. could be the direct causes of counter's malfunction based on the number of maintenance for a certain time period.

In this paper, we propose a simplified tag collection algorithm to improve the performances of ISO/IEC 18000-7, which is a standard for an active RFID system. The proposed algorithm modifies the collection command that enables to start a tag collection round. The modified collection command includes the results of the listen period response for the previous collection round. Tags that receive the collection command check the collision status for their responses. If there is no collision, tags transmit their additional data and go into the sleep mode without the point-to-point read command and sleep command. A collection round for the standard consists of a collection command and response, a read command and response, and sleep command. On the other hand, in the proposed algorithm, a collection round consists of a collection command and response. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm can improve the identification delay about 16% compared with the standard when the number of tags are 300.

Endogenous zinc is important for maintaining zinc homeostasis because the size of endogenous zinc pool is almost 3-4 times bigger than that of dietary zinc. The purpose of this study was to examine the phytate effect on the reabsorption of endogenous zinc and the additional Ca effect on the phytate effect. Rats were fed a casein-based diet with added sodium phytate containing either high(1.6%) or low(0.8%) Ca concentrations for 4 weeks to reduce the body zinc pool. After the depletion period, $^{65}$ Zn was given by intraperitoneal injection to label the endogenous zinc pool. Rats were then assigned into phytate or non-phytate group within the same Ca group. feces were collected for 2 weeks of the initial collection period and 1 week after dietary crossover. The ratios of excreted fecal $^{65}$ Zn radioactivity of phytate group non-phytate group were determined as a measure of the phytate effect on the endogenous zinc. Mean fecal $^{65}$ Zn radioactivity was higher in the phytate group than in the non-phytate group during the entire 3 weeks of the collection period in the low Ca group, and during the initial collection period in the high Ca group(p <0.0001). This study showed an adverse phytate effect on endogenous zinc at both high and low dietary Ca levels. Elevated dietary Ca levels showed a synergistic effect on the phytate effect on endogenous zinc(p <0.05). These results imply greater phytate effect on zinc homeostasis rather than on zinc bioavailability through complexing with the endogenous zinc which is larger portion than the dietary zinc on zinc homeostasis.

This study aims to collect Big Data related to DIY clothing, analyze the results on a year-by-year basis, understand consumers' perceptions, the status, and reality of DIY clothing. The reference period for the evaluation of DIY clothing trends was set from 2012 to 2022. The data in this study was collected and analyzed using Textom, a Big Data solution program certified as a Good Software by the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA). For the analysis of fabric-related DIY products, the keyword was set to "DIY clothing", and for data cleansing following collection, the "Espresso K" module was employed. Also, via data collection on a year-by-year basis, a total of 11 lists were generated and the collected data was analyzed by period. The following are the findings of this study's data collection on DIY clothing. The total number of keywords collected over a period of ten years on search engines "Naver" and "Google" between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2022 was 16,315, and data trends by period indicate a continuous upward trend. In addition, a keyword analysis was conducted to analyze TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency), a statistical measure that reflects the importance of a word within data, and the relationship with N-gram, an analysis of the correlation concerning the relationship between words. Using these results, it was possible to evaluate the popularity and growing tendency of DIY clothing products in conjunction with the evolving social environment, as well as the desire to explore DIY trends among consumers. Therefore, this study is valuable in that it provides preliminary data for DIY clothing research by analyzing the status and reality of DIY products, and furthermore, contributes to the development and production of DIY clothing.

This study analyzes the online issues of design innovation by a fashion creative director. The study selected fashion house Gucci as the main subject and analyzed social media posts. As for study methods, a social matrix program Textom 2.0 collected 13,014 nouns and adjectives using 'Gucci Collection' as a search keyword from Naver Blogs from March to August 2014 and from March to August 2016. Design related issues were derived through semantic network analysis using Ucinet6 and the NetDraw program. The results of the keyword frequency analysis showed that social media user interest for the Gucci collection increased based on the rapid increase in the number of posts from 1,064 to 2,126 after changing the fashion creative director. The results of visualization of semantic network analysis and content analysis also showed that the main issues related to the Gucci collection design changed after the replacement of the fashion creative director. The study found that issues formed around the product information worn by celebrities for promotion purposes during the 2014 period; however, during the 2016 period, issues were formed around 'vintage' and 'retro' runway concepts with design styles related to Alessandro Michele, the new creative director.

A Collection Policy provides a direction to an archive, but also provides a foundation for developing practical measures of planning and collecting process. In terms of a Collection Policy, it enables detail collection as regulations or codes cannot be as defined as the level of collection, thus, it allows systematic and strategic approaches in collecting former presidents' records. In the case of United States, where the same presidential system exists as South Korea, although the individual Presidential Libraries and Museums have different periods of collections, the Collection Policy was implement a half century ago that is used as a foundation data for record collection. However, the Presidential Archives in South Korea do not have a Collection Policy implemented that the collection is based on 'collection regulations' and 'collection plans.' In the comparison of the Collection Policy at the Presidential Libraries and Museums in the United States and the "collection regulation" and "collection plan" at the Presidential Archives in South Korea, it shows that while the Presidential Libraries and Museums' Collection Policy applies the characteristics of individual presidents that the collection comprises the records from more than the appointed period that it includes various personal records of relating figures, events, regions, and even personal interest; the records are written in detail to the detailed scale and procedure. On the other hand, the Presidential Archives in South Korea, the records collected based on 'collection regulations' and 'collection plans' do not sufficiently apply the individual features of the former presidents that the collections remain as general and unclear. This is due to the absence of a Collection Policy that systemizes and sustains professionalism and consistency of collection plans and procedures. Hence, this study is conducted to propose collection policy implementation measures by analyzing the Collection Policy of the Presidential Libraries and Museums in the United States and identifying implications for applying individual president characteristics.
