  • Although several theories and models have been proposed to explain the effects of cultural differences in team decision making, many aspects of team decision-making in multi-cultural contexts such as team performance, team communication, and team cognition still remain unclear. In particular, little attention has paid to the empirical studies on team processes multi-cultural team members use to interact with each other to accomplish the task in different task environments. To investigate the effects of culture and task characteristics on team decision making behavior in multi-cultural contexts, this study compared culturally homogenous and heterogeneous groups in the context of logistics decision making. Results of the study showed that cultural difference and task complexity may affect team performance as well as team interaction process to varying degree.

  • In this paper, free vibration analyses of a parallel placed twin pipe system simulated by simply supported-simply supported and fixed-fixed Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on Winkler elastic soil are presented. The motion of the system is described by a homogenous set of two partial differential equations, which is solved by a simulation method called the Differential Transform Method (DTM). Free vibrations of an elastically connected twin pipe system are realized by synchronous and asynchronous deflections. The results of the presented theoretical analyses for simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beams are compared with existing ones in open literature and very good agreement is demonstrated.

  • The purpose of the present paper is to introduce two novel subclasses $\mathcal{T}_{\mu}(n,{\lambda},{\alpha})$ and $\mathcal{H}_{\mu}(n,{\lambda},{\alpha};{\kappa})$ of analytic and univalent functions with negative coefficients, involving Ruscheweyh derivative operator. The various results investigated in this paper include coefficient estimates, distortion inequalities, radii of close-to-convexity, starlikenes, and convexity for the functions belonging to the class $\mathcal{T}_{\mu}(n,{\lambda},{\alpha})$. These results are then appropriately applied to derive similar geometrical properties for the other class $\mathcal{H}_{\mu}(n,{\lambda},{\alpha};{\kappa})$ of analytic and univalent functions. Relevant connections of these results with those in several earlier investigations are briefly indicated.

  • The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of Co-Cr-Mo alloy and 316L stainless steel by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of each alloy with average particle size of 20 and $75\;{\mu}m$, respectively. To produce sound specimens, the proper 3DP processing parameters were determined. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by dilatometric analysis and by batch sintering in argon atmosphere at $1280^{\circ}$ for 2h. The 3DP process has successfully produced complex-shaped biomedical parts with total porosity of 12-25% and homogenous pore structure, which could be suitable for tissue growth into the pores.

  • RBF 네트워크의 중간층은 클러스터링하는 층이다. 즉, 이 충의 목적은 주어진 자료 집합을 유사한 클러스터들(homogenous cluster)로 분류하는 것이다. 여기서 유사하다는 것은 입력 데이터들에 대한 특징 벡터 공간사이에서 한 클러스터내의 벡터들 간에 거리를 측정하여 정해진 반경 내에 존재하면 같은 클러스터로 분류하고 정해진 반경 내에 존재하지 않으면 다른 클러스터로 분류한다. 그러나 정해진 반경 내에서 클러스터링하는 것은 잘못된 클러스터를 선택하는 단점을 가지게 된다. 그러므로 중간층을 결정하는 .것은 RBF 네트워크의 전반적인 효율성에 큰 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 중간층을 결정하기 위한 방법으로 퍼지 C-Means 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용한 퍼지 RBF 네트워크를 제안한다. 제안된 퍼지 RBF 네트워크의 학습은 크게 두 단계로 구분된다. 첫 번째 단계는 입력층과 중간층 사이에 퍼지 C-Means 알고리즘이 수행되고, 두 번째 단계는 중간층과 출력층 사이에 지도학습이 수행된다. 제안된 방법의 학습 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실제 주민등록증에서 추출한 숫자패턴에 적용한 결과, 기존의 RBF네트워크 보다 학습 성능이 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

  • In the structures of automobiles and ships which have engines for works, the vibration energies generated by the engines are transferred to dissipation parts through the structures which is welded and bolted with beams and plates. The vibration energies generated by resonance frequencies are the reasons of the resonance phenomena. To solve these problems, up to the present, we have studied to avoid the resonance, and add the higher damping characteristics. However, we need to understand the structural energy flows, to design the structures clearly which have the characteristic of welding. The object of this study is to make differences clear in the characteristics of structures which have some welded part on an homogenous flat plate. In this investigation, we study the flows of structural vibration energy experimently, and then, some knowledge for dynamic structural design is obtained.

  • The lipomatous of the mediastinum are fairly uncommon tumors. Since 1971, two patients with proven mediastinal lipoma and one primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum have been treated at the Seoul National University Hospital. This report reviews our experience with the review of literature. Case 1.: A 3 year old body revealed a huge round homogenous mass density in the posterior mediastinum in routine chest X-ray. The tumor mass, lipoma, was successfully removed and postoperative course was uneventful. Cases 2.: An asymptomatic 24 year old male was operated on with the preoperative diagnosis of mediastinal lipoma. His preoperative chest X-ray and CT films showed a huge anterior to middle mediastinal tumor, right, with fat density. There is no postoperative problem after successful removal of the tumor mass. Case 3. : A 24 year old female was hospitalized with the complaints of cough and chest pain. A mediastinal mass was removed, which proved to be a liposarcoma on pathologic examination. About one year later, she was found to have recurrent liposarcoma in the right chest area at the OPD follow-up. She was lost to follow-up since then.

  • Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is rare congenital lung disease characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply though aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration postoperatively confirmed. The patient was 48-year-old female whose complaints were cough and left chest pain. Chest film showed large homogenous opacity in left lower lung field. By operation, adult fist sized mass at the lower lobe were noted. An aberrant artery, measuring 1.0 cm. in diameter and 2.0 cm. in length, arose from the descending thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm. The anomalous systemic artery was ligatures and resection, and associated with left middle, lower bilobectomy was done. The postoperative course was uneventful, and 10 days later discharged.

  • A prerequisite for the development of graphene-based field effect transistors (FETs) is reliable control of the type and concentration of carriers in graphene. These parameters can be manipulated via the deposition of atoms, molecules, and polymers onto graphene as a result of charge transfer that takes place between the graphene and adsorbates. In this work, we demonstrate a unique and facile methodology for the homogenous and stable p-type doping of graphene by hybridization with ZnO thin films fabricated by MeV electron beam irradiation (MEBI) under ambient conditions. The formation of the ZnO/graphene hybrid nanostructure was attributed to MEBI-stimulated dissociation of zinc acetate dihydrate and a subsequent oxidation process. A ZnO thin film with an ultra-flat surface and uniform thickness was formed on graphene. We found that homogeneous and stable p-type doping was achieved by charge transfer from the graphene to the ZnO film.

  • 60 cases of swine and bovine ovaries were investigated for detecting the homosiderin pigment by means of Perl's prussian blue reaction. The results abtained were as follows; 1. Among the 30 cases of normal adult swine ovaries, 20 cases (66.6%) were presented as positive. 2. The hemosiderin pigment was detected in corpus albicans, connective tissue of corpus luteum, theca externa of follicles and interstitial tissue of ovary in swine. 3. The morphological characteristics of the hemosiderin pigment of swine ovaries were fine and coarse granules or amorphous and homogenous pigment. 4. In 30 cases of bovine ovaries, the hemosiderin pigment was not detected.
