This study examines underwear purchase behaviors and the attitude of male consumers based on the degree of interest in appearance. Data research was conducted on 296 males in their 20s and 30s located in Seoul & Gyeonggi province. The SPSS 17.0 software program was used to conduct data analyses such as descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and $\chi^2$-test. The results of this study are as follows: The degree of interest in appearance was identified with four factors; outfit management, confidence of figure, interest in clothing, weight control, and disinterest in appearance. Customers were segmented into two subdivisions: high and low interest in appearance. The factors derived from the factor analysis of underwear purchase motive included aesthetic, impulsiveness, and practicality. The purchase behavior of the group with high interest in appearance was highly motivated by aesthetics and impulsiveness. The factors derived from the factor analysis of underwear attitude included fashionability, comfortableness, and quality. Customers were segmented into the following three subdivisions: pursuit of comfortableness, pursuit of diversity, and normal. The type of high interest in appearance regarded fashionability and quality highly. Finally, the degree of interest in appearance showed significant relevance in purchase motive and underwear attitude for underwear.

Ten anther-derived doubled haploid (ADH) and 10 maternally-derived doubled haploid fines (MDH) from NC 2326 were evaluated in the field to compare their performance. Both anther-derived doubled haploid and maternally-derived doubled haploid lines were agronomically inferior to selfed parental variety for many parameters, but the degree of inferiority of the MDH lines were not significantly different from the selfed parental variety for any character investigated. The inferiority of the ADH lines were, however, significantly different from the selfed parental variety for yield, leaf length and width , and days to flower.

Many mechanical and electrocal systems use the number of motors to make multi degree of freedom motion. One method to reduce the number of motors is suggested by using the 3 D.O.F. motor. The 3 D.O.F. motor has advantages such as downsize, weight reduction, and simplification of the existing 3 D.O.F. systems. In this study, a mathematical model for the 3 D.O.F. motor is suggested and the dynamic equation is derived to analyze the 3 D.O.F. motion. Generallinear control methods are very hard to get the good performance because of the nonlinear terms of each degree of each degree of freedom. To control the motion properly, the nonlinear terms are decoupled using a feedback control law. Nonlinear feedback control law which can arrage the poles arbitrarily is derived. The effects of the gains are examined through computer simulations.

The degree of green naturality (DGN) has played a key role for maintaining the environmental quality from inappropriate developments, although the quality and effectiveness of the mapping of DGN has been under debate. In this study, spatial distribution of degree of green naturality was initially estimated from forest stand maps that were produced from the aerial photo interpretation and extensive field survey. Once the boundary of initial classes of DGN were defined, it were overlaid with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data that were derived from the recently obtained Landsat Thematic Mapper data. NDVI was calculated for each pixel from the radiometrically corrected satellite image. There were no significant differences in mean values of vegetation index among the initial DGN classes. However, the satellite derived vegetation index was very effective to delineate the developed and damaged forest lands and to adjust the initial value of DGN according to the distribution of NDVI within each class.

In this paper, we consider multi-degree reduction of $B{\acute{e}}zier$ curves with continuity of any (r, s) order with respect to $L_2$ norm. With help of matrix theory about generalized inverses we can use Lagrange multipliers to obtain the degree reduction matrix in a very simple form as well as the degree reduced control points. Also error analysis comparing with the least squares degree reduction without constraints is given. The advantage of our method is that the relationship between the optimal multi-degree reductions with and without constraints of continuity can be derived explicitly.

This paper proposes an experimental method for measuring the quality of experience to measure the influence of the participants' immersion, satisfaction, and presence according to the application of sensory effects to 360-degree video. Participants of the experiment watch 360-degree videos using HMD and receive sensory effects using scent diffusing devices and wind devices. Subsequently, a questionnaire was conducted on the degree of immersion, satisfaction, and present feelings for the video you watched. By analyzing the correlation of the survey results, we found that the provision of sensory effects satisfies the 360-degree video viewing, and the experimental method was appropriate. In addition, using the P.910 method, a result was derived that was not suitable for measuring the quality of the immersion and presence of 360-degree video according to the provision of sensory effects.

Ribs and fans are interesting geometric entities that are derived from an ordinary $B\'{e}zier$ curve or surface. A rib itself is a $B\'{e}zier$ curve or surface with a lower degree than the given curve or surface. A fan is a vector field whose degree is also lower than its origin. First, we present methods to transform the control points of a $B\'{e}zier$ curve or surface into the control points and vectors of its ribs and fans. Then, we show that a $B\'{e}zier$ curve of degree n is decomposed into a rib of degree (n-1), a fan of degree (n-2), and a scalar function of degree 2. We also show that a $B\'{e}zier$ surface of degree (m, n) is decomposed into a rib of degree (m-1, n-1) and three fans of degrees (m-1, n-2), (m-2, n-1), and (m-2, n-2), respectively. In addition, the lengths of the fans are further controlled by scalar functions of degree 2 and (2, 2). We present relevant notations and definitions, introduce theories, and present some of design examples.

Fuzzy c-means method is typical soft clustering, and requires a degree of membership that indicates the degree of belonging to each cluster at the time of clustering. Parameter values greater than 1 and less than 2 have been used by convention. According to the proposed data-generation scheme and the simulation results, some behaviors in the degree of "fuzziness" was derived.

Weathering indexes of the typical pedons derived from different parent materials of the soils of Korea were calculated by Kronberg and Nesbitt (1981) to understand weathering degree of the soils which might give a clue of soil formation and characterizing a soil pedon. The weathering index W1 was chemical change index, and the weathering index W2 was silicate dominant index. The chemical compositions of the 49 typic pedons were extracted from the Taxonomical Classification of Korean Soils (NIAST, 1999). The weathering indexes of Kimhae series, derived from fluvio marine material, were the highest among the analyzed soils. Within parent materials, the weathering indexes of the soils derived from limestones parent materials were high, and those derived from phorphyry materials were low. The relationship between W1 and W2 showed unique pattern which implied certain sequence within the same parent materials.

The interactions between monocytes and extracellular matrix proteins have been implicated in atherosclerosis pathophysiology. In the present study we evaluated monocyte attachment and migration through oxidized and non-oxidized collagen IV. Monocyte attachment was tested on microwells coated with either native or oxidized collagen IV. Monocyte migration through collagen IV was examined on transwells. Monocytes derived from patients with diabetes mellitus showed an increased ability to attach and migrate through collagen IV as compared to those derived from healthy volunteers. Moreover, control monocytes attached to oxidized collagen at a higher degree, while they migrated through oxidized collagen at a lower degree, as compared to the native protein. Our results also showed the involvement of the alpha2 integrin subunit in the above phenomena suggesting a modified interaction between monocytes and collagen IV in diabetes mellitus.
