The evaluation of risk level or possibility of traffic accidents is a fundamental task in reducing the dangers associated with current transportation system. However, due to the lack of data and basic researches for identifying such factors, evaluations so far have been undertaken by only the experts who can use their judgements well in this regard. Here comes the motivation this thesis to evaluate such risk level more or less in an automatic manner. The purpose of this thesis is to test the fuzzy-logic theory in evaluating the risk level of traffic accidents. In modeling the process of expert's logical inference of risk level determination, only the geometric features have been considered for the simplicity of the modeling. They are the visibility of road surface, horizontal alignment, vertical grade, diverging point, and the location of pedestrain crossing. At the same time, among some inference methods, fuzzy composition inference method has been employed as a back-bone inference mechanism. In calibration, the proposed model used four sites' data. After that, using calibrated model, six sites' risk levels have been identified. The results of the six sites' outcomes were quite similar to those of real world other than some errors caused by the enforcement of the model's output. But it seems that this kind of errors can be overcome in the future if some other factors such as driver characteristics, traffic environment, and traffic control conditions have been considered. Futhermore, the application of site's specific time series data would produce better results.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES), applied over the antagonist or the agonist, would alter the H reflex. Attention was focused on the roles of stimulus location. We used normal eight subjects without neuromuscular disease which were divided into 3 groups; the subjects were diveded into group of antagonist, agonist, antagonist-agonist. All groups were meted of eight subjects. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation was administered for 15 minutes. All subjects were subjected to three tests, including a pre-test, post-test and post-20 minute test. The data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA and paired t-test. The results were as follows; 1. H latencies were significantly increased in agonist and antagonist-agonist group (p<.01). 2. H/M intervals were significantly increased in agonist and antagonist-agonist group (p<.01). 3. H amplitudes were significantly increased in agonist (p<.001) and antagonist-agonist group (p<.01). 4. H/M ratios were significantly decreased in agonist and antagonist-agonist group (p<.01). In agonist group. H-reflex amplitudes and H/M ratios were more significantly decreased than antagonist group. Future studies will need to determine what influence NMES may have on the excitability of spinal motor neurons in people having UMN syndrome.

In this study, we calculated the redistribution of vacancy concentration in metal specimens induced by stress-induced diffusion at a high temperature. To deduce the governing equation, we associated the unit volume change equation of strains with a differential equation of vacancy concentration as a function of stress using the stress-strain relationship. In this governing equation, we considered stress as the only chemical potential parameter to stay in the scope of this study, which provided the vacancy concentration equation as of stress gradient in metals. The equation was then mathematically delineated to derive a analytical solution for a transient, one-dimensional diffusion case. With the help of Korhonen's approximation and the boundary conditions, we successfully deduced a general solution from the governing equation. To visualize the feasibility of our solutions, we applied the solution to two different stress-induced cases - a rod with fixed concentrated stresses at both ends and a rod with varying concentrated stresses at both ends. Although it is necessary to legitimatized the model in the future for improvement, our results showed that the model can be used to interpret the location of structural defects, the formation of vacancy, and furthermore the high temperature behavior of metals.

Historical-cultural contents are digitized documents of records or evidences about changes of human society. The changes or evolvements are results of the interaction between society and environment. So the different feafures are appears by spatio-temporal observing locations Historical-cultural contents need to be designed so that the preservation and exchange of information, adaptation to changes of the future are easy. So historical-cultural contents have structured to support the intelligent services based on context. This study propose context-based ontology-design method based on events, and we implemented web services of Bible contents by proposed method.

Today's firms are experiencing severe competition and lots of change under uncertainty of the future. In order to survive in rapidly changing environment, companies have steadily adopted information technology(IT) environment. The advancement of information technology allows people to access information and knowledge resources without the limitation of time and location through internet. Many organizations have developed their own information systems not only for internal efficiency but also for effectiveness of external customer services. This study is intended to provide a theoretical framework of information and knowledge and their relationship, that the infusion of powerful information networks into business environments is beginning to have a profound a significant difference of the nature between information satisfaction and accounting information system(AIS) in the business activity. This paper is to maximize the efficiency of university libraries human resources management by determining the followings the relationship between the level of information technology implement and the job satisfaction of the librarian, the main factors that affect job satisfaction. Questionnaire was sent to 120 companies from 20 corporations chosen by random sampling and the methods of ANOVA, T-test, and correlation analysis were used. The results of the analysis are as follows; 1) There is a unsignificant difference in the level of information satisfaction by accounting information system and the motivation factor according to the level of implementation of IT. 2) There is a relatively high in a significant difference in information satisfaction by the level of net income. 3) There is high a significant difference is shown in the accounting years while implementing the IT and information satisfaction.

In spite of her abundant natural resources for tourist industry, Kangreung and Sokcho area became lagged in economic development during the national industrialization. The major purpose of this study is to exactly purpose of this study is to exactly measure the impacts of tourist industry on regional development. Through the regional input-output analysis, we found some critical facts: (1) Input coefficients are relatively high in those industries as fish products, food and drink products, and printing and publishing. (2) Input coefficients are high in fiber and apparel products, and other manufac-turing. (3) Induced production effects are high in chemical and coal products, fish products, food and fish products, printing and publishing, and public administration for Sokcho. (4) As for the induced employment effect, food and lodging, other services, wholesale and retail show high coefficients. (5) As for the location quotients, food and lodging, fish products, transportation and ware housing are identified as basic industries. Through the questionnaire survey, we also found some important facts: (1) Residents tend to evaluate employment effects higher than the income effects from resort-related development. (2) Pollution, forest demolition, general price increase, and traffic congestions are more serious than ever reported. (3) Willingness to participate in resort development is high, but is discouraged by the lack of regional capital. Based on these findings, we suggest some future directions of tourist industry: (1) blocking the leakage of income produced in tourist and tourist industry, (2) connection between fishery and tourist industry, (3) development of tourist route, and (4) administrative reshuffling that helps joint development between private and public sectors.

Selecting an investment location is one of the most crucial decisions of investors as it has a great influence on the operation and development of the business in the future. At the same time, the attraction of localities will bring advantages for socio-economic development for the localities invested. Investors are interested in localities that have the potential to invest. The study focused on analyzing and testing the influence of place brand equity on the choice of investment locations of domestic investors through a regression analysis using 425 survey samples of investors in Phu Tho province, one of the northern industrial zones in Vietnam. Research results showed that 56.5% of investment decisions depended on factors from place brands. In addition, in the decision-making process for choosing investment locations, brand awareness factor had the greatest impact on investor's decisions, followed by brand image and brand personality, and finally brand confidence had the smallest impact. Therefore, in the coming time, in order to retain and attract domestic investors to choose Phu Tho as an investment and business destination, it is necessary to increase the value of place brand equity and implement solutions to promote place brands to investors.

Organic light emitting diode(OLED) is one of the most promising type of future flat panel display. A linear source is used to deposite organic vapor to a large size OLED substrate. An electric heater which is attached on the side of linear source heats the organic powder for the sublimation. The nozzle of heater, which is attached at the top of the linear source has an optimal temperature. An numerical analysis has been performed to find optimal heater position for the optimal nozzle temperature. A commercial CFD program, FLUENT, is used on the analysis. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis have been performed. The analysis showed that the heater should be attached at the outer side of crucible wall rather than inner side of housing, which was original design. Eighteen milimeter from the top of the linear source was suggested as the optimal position of heater. Improving thermal performance of linear source not only helps the uniformity of organic vapor deposition on the substrate but also increase productibity of vapor deposition process.
