The IMO approved e-navigation strategy implementation plan made e-navigation adoption visible. In addition, the schedule for the modernization of GMDSS by the ITU was confirmed at the 4th NCSR meeting. Accordingly, we will complement the existing communication system and provide the requirements for the new communication system to be introduced in the future, reflecting all the requirements for the communication system capable of supporting the e-navigation service. Although the communication method for supporting e-navigation service should be capable of providing IP-based data communication basically, it is impossible to provide internet service because of the narrow-band characteristic in the MF/HF frequency bands. In addition, as the existing GMDSS satellite communication service organization expands and new services are introduced, IP based data communication service will be possible, but service restriction resulting from expensive communication cost can be solved by introducing VSAT service.

Search engines that rely on morphological matching of user query and web document content do not support individual interests. This research proposes a personalized web search scheme that returns the results that reflect the users' query intent and personal preferences. The performance of the personalized search depends on using an effective user profiling strategy to accurately capture the users' personal interests. In this study, the user profiles are the databases of topic words and customized weights based on the recent user queries and the frequency of topic words in click history. To determine the precise meaning of ambiguous queries and topic words, this strategy uses WordNet to calculate the semantic relatedness to words in the user profile. The experiments were conducted by installing a query expansion and re-ranking modules on the general web search systems. The results showed that this method has 92% precision and 82% recall in the top 10 search results, proving the enhanced performance.

Background & Object : The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of electrogastrography in the diagnosis field of traditional medicine through a study of the relationship between gastric motility and health condition based on oriental medicine diagnostic theory in functional dyspepsia. Method : 86 patients (male 27, female 59) with functional dyspepsia and 10 healthy control subjects (male 5, female 5) were involved in the investigation. The disease information of functional dyspepsia (based on Rome criteria II) was used for dyspeptic index and scores were obtained from the comprehensive diagnosis of Qui, Xue, Shui was applied as index for health condition, those were all investigated by questionnaire. Gastric motility were recorded and analyzed using electrogastrography in fasting and postprandial period. Results : The total score of comprehensive diagnosis of Qui Xue Shui was influenced by the number of functional dyspepsia symptoms (p=0.026). In terms of electrogastrographical parameters, both postpranial normal slow waves regularity(p=0.003) and power ratio (p=0.001) in the patients had the statistical significance and they showed an incremental inverse correlation with the number of symptoms. Dominant frequency and fasting normal slow waves regularity ratio had no statistical significance. Conclusion : Results suggest that electrogastrography is useful in evaluating the health condition of patient by comprehensive diagnosis of Qui Xue Sui.

In this paper, we propose a preamble structure and synchronization/channel estimation methods for OFDM-based multiple antenna WLAN systems that have 200Mbps transmit rate. With the proposed preamble structure, multiple antenna WLAN systems are backward-compatible with IEEE 802.11a systems which use the same 5㎓ band and synchronization performance is better than that of single antenna OFDM systems. For channel estimation, the preamble overhead is small and performance degradation by timing synchronization error that causes the critical problem of conventional comb-type multiple antenna channel estimation method also can be minimized by frequency domain phase recovery. Synchronizer and channel estimator for proposed preamble structure are implemented and verified using Verilog HDL. For the system with 4 transmit antennas and 4 receive antennas, about 150K gates are needed for synchronizer and 12K gates for channel estimator.

A treatment for improving the characteristics of a surface is very important in increasing the life of machine parts. Many studies have been carried out on the surface characteristics after such treatments. For enhanced eco-technology, an alternative to a conventional chemical surface treatment process is essential. Ultrasonic nano-crystal surface modification (UNSM) technology is a physical environmentally friendly surface treatment method. This technology was developed in domestic and currently being used. As the mechanism of UNSM technology, a ball tip attached to an ultrasonic vibration device strikes the metal surface at nearly 20,000 times per second. The resulting modified surface layer improves the surface characteristics. This paper describes a self-developed fast tool servo system applied to the UNSM process as a vibration module within a high-frequency bandwidth. After describing the surface modification process based on the material and process changes, the surface characteristics are compared.

This study investigated the sensory characteristics of adlay tea favorably consumed by Korean consumers and analyzed the drivers behind for liking or disliking adlay tea. Six adlay tea products showing the highest market share in South Korea were selected. Sensory properties of the six products were analyzed using generic descriptive analysis. Among these, four products were further selected for consumer taste acceptance test. Sensory lexicons of adlay tea were developed by trained panelists, and the sensory characteristics of each adlay tea product were measured based on the perceived intensities of these attributes elicited from the samples. In the consumer taste acceptance test, frequent tea and coffee drinkers participated. Consumers rated the acceptance of each tea product on a 9-point hedonic scale and evaluated the reasons for liking or disliking each product based on the check-all-that-apply method. Analysis of Variance, principal component analysis, frequency analysis, and correspondence analysis were utilized for statistical analysis. Twenty sensory attributes were developed in order to characterize the six adlay tea products. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that attributes such as viscosity, black soybean flavor, goso flavor, peanut flavor, seaweed flavor, green, and presence of chunks were key factors differentiating the adlay tea products. In the consumer taste test, roasted flavor, goso flavor, peanut flavor, and presence of chunks were positive drivers for liking the adlay tea products, whereas seaweed and green flavors were negative attributes that drove consumers away.

This research is intended to inquire any discrepancy depending on the variables such as types, geography and size of hospitals of Korea in order to develop differentiated marketing strategy and to investigate how the aforementioned variables affect the management performance such as the increase in the number of foreign patients, their willingness to re-visit, the increase in profit and etc. The survey for this research was conducted for five weeks from July 10th 2014 to August 30th 2014 with 251 participants in charge of foreign patient attraction for 161 domestic hospitals. As the method of the research, a hypothesis was first established based on previous studies, followed by the incorporation of self-administered questionnaire to confirm the formulated hypothesis. Frequency analysis and ANOVA analysis were used to analyze the result of the survey. The outcome of the research and the implications are as follows. First, according to the demography of the persons-in-charge of foreign patient attraction, the proportion of female was superbly high by 76.5%. As for the age, those in their 30s were highest in proportion. Finally, for the education level, college graduates took up the largest portion by 46.5%. Second, in respect to the hypothesis assuming the difference in performance depending on the types of hospitals, national university-affiliated hospitals showed the highest level of the increase in foreign patients by the average of 3.25. Third, in respect to the hypothesis assuming the difference in performance based on geographical position, it was confirmed that hospitals in Ulsan City experienced the largest growth in the number in foreign patients. Fourth, in respect to the sizes of hospitals, those with 201 to 300 sickbeds showed the highest increase by the average of 3.45. The implication of the above research outcome indicates that while the number of foreign patients visiting Korea for medical purposes is on the rise, the number of professionals in place with necessary knowledge and capacity is insufficient and requires improvement.

The purpose of this study was to analyze information about food and nutrition topics presented throughout the television broadcast media, thereby suggest the optimal communication method to give right information to the general public. To perform this study, total sixteen monitoring people were recruited and trained through monitoring practice before and during the study . Five domestic TV channels were selected to be monitored, for six months. For the best efficiency, all the monitoring people were divided into 8 teams based on the regional consideration. The statistical analysis of data was completed using SAS program. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the total reporting cases of information about foods and nutrition were 237 , among which about 30% was classified as appropriate and 70% as inappropriate based on the trained monitors' evaluation. Second, the analysis of contents about incorrect informations showed that the insufficient descriptions of terminology and contents were the highest. And insufficient scientific evidences, incorrect contents excessively entertainment-oriented, no provision of alternatives , improper selection of expert advisors were followed. These results suggest that systematical monitoring should be continued to reduce the frequency of incorrect communication thereby give the right information in food and nutrition area to the general public. And there should be a closely cooperated system to provide the professional information to broadcasting production team by establishing the strategic program. In order to do that, most importantly the advisory team should be organized to professionally connect mass media to corresponding specialists. In addition, more educational programs about food and nutrition should be developed to provide right information to the general public.
