The two dimnesional echocardiography is widely used to evaluate regional wall motion abnormaility, because of its abilities to depict left ventricluar wall motion. A new method, color kinesis is a technology or echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular wall motion. In this paper, we proposed a algorithm or color kinesis which is based on acoustic quantification and automatically detects endocardial motion during systole on a frame-by-frame basis. The echocardiograms were obtained in the short-axis views in normal subjects. Automated edge detection and endocardial contour tracing algorithm was applied to each frames, quantitative analysis based on segmentation was performed, and pre-defined color overlays superimposed on the gray scale images. Segmental analysis of color kinesis provided automated, quantitative diagnosis of regional wall motion abnormality.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the Aristotle's conception of change(kinesis). Aristotle defines the change as a process which actualize a potentiality. From Aristotle's definition of the change, a number of consequences flow directly about how to conceptualize it. First, the change is fundamentally directional. Second, if we do not know what the change is directed toward, we do not understand what the change is. Third, everything that changes is caused to change by a distinct cause of change, a changer. Fourth, there is a single actualization of cause and subject of the change. All change, for Aristotle, is the change of an enduring subject. And all change occur in the infinite(to apeiron) which is time, space, matter. It would be absurd to equate the whole and the infinite, for that would be to say that the unlimited had a limit. The infinite does not contain, but in so far as it is infinite, is contained. And due at least in part to its potentiality, the infinite is unknowable. Because it lacks a form. The infinite traditionally derived its dignity from being thought of as a whole in which everything is contained. But Aristotle removes the infinite from its position of majesty. Aristotle's this idea was a revolution in philosophical perspective.

On the one hand Aristotle seems to insist that practical acts are intrinsically good. On the other hand his doctrine of certain connected concepts is such that as a consequence practical acts must be considered good due to their being means to eudaimonia. This Aristotelian dilemma challenged by commenters. Cooper bases his attack on a consideration of Aristotle's account of deliberations. Deliberation is not just concerned with means in a strictly causal sense, but with things that contribute to the end. And these may also be constituent parts of complex ends or particular things that a given end may be seen to consist in. The difference between energeia and kinesis implies the distinction between praxis and poiesis. In kinesis such as 'building a house' and 'trying to save a child from drowning' we cannot sever, logically, 'the act' from the intended act-result, since no act will be left once that logical operation has been performed. The definition of poiesis relies on the possibility of such severance. But the fact that an act is kinesis has no implications whatever for the question whether it is a praxis or poiesis.

Today, our digital media environments are shifting from a new biological paradigm that can be characterized by "personalization", "interaction", and "kinesis." According to this paradigm shift, the change of media skin is needed, which plays an important role on our urban environments. Thus, this research aims to propose a new media skin that supports user participation based on a new digital media paradigm. For this study, we begin by extracting the essential factors from the characteristics with personalization, interaction, and kinesis through exploring the theories related to the new digital media paradigm. Based on the extracted factors, we investigated the limitation of emerging media skins and proposed a new media skin in order to overcome it. The module-based media skin proposed in this study enables users to quickly and easily design and arrange their own form that they want and display diverse contents through intelligent interaction between modules. This research contributes to providing the framework for guiding designers when they design their media skins.

Until now, most of the attention related information and knowledge transmission is on the verbal message provided by educators. But recently, many researchers are emphasizing importance of nonverbal communication behavior in the evaluation of communicator include educators. When nonverbal messages reinforce verbal messages, meaning is conveyed quickly and easily and with increased comprehension. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of professor nonverbal communication on students' academic achievement. In this study, nonverbal communication was divided into the three dimensions of kinesis, proxemics, paralanguage, and physical appearance. It was studied to examine the direct or indirect effects of nonverbal communication on attitude toward the professor and academic achievement. Additionally, it examined the moderating effect of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between attitude toward the professor and academic achievement. The data were collected from 214 college students using an online survey. The results showed that the kinesis, proxemics, and physical appearance, except paralanguage, have significantly positive influence on attitude toward the professor. And the moderating effect of academic self-efficacy has also been founded.

The two dimensional echocardiography is widely used to evaluate regional wall motion abnormality, because of its abilities to depict left ventricular wall motion. A number of researches have been processed for evaluation and quantitative analysis of left ventricular wall motion functions. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm which detects automatically and analyze quantitatively endocardial wall motion during systole. The echocardiograms were obtained in the short-axis views in normal subjects. Automated edge detection and endocardial contour tracking algorithm was applied to each frames, quantitative analysis based on segmentation was performed, pre-defined color overlays superimposed on the gray scale images, and the images was animated. The proposed algorithm provided automated, quantitative diagnosis of regional wall motion abnormality.

The aim of this study is to understand the effect of structure on the dispersion of both CNT and GNF in the phase of synthesized polyurethanes matrix. Various CNT/PU and GNF/PU composite films were prepared. Polyurethane having a different hard segment was blended with both CNT and GNF. PU having HDI as hard segment showed good dispersion with both CNT and GNF because of their linear structural character and molecular kinesis while PU having aromatic ring showed poor dispersion with those due to their structural complexity. Structural effect also induced the increase of its electro conductivity. The PU/CNT composite showed a bad dispersion (because of phase separation between PU matrix and CNT) but good electro conductivity at its surface (because CNT was collected on the surface of composite film due to low density of CNT). PU/CNT and PU/GNF composite films have quite low normalized sheet resistance value compared with silver/PU nanocomposite film because the fiber type filler could have much more contact points than that of sphere shaped silver particles have.
