  • Previous research assessed media reporting on nuclear accidents and risks, whilst studies about the Fukushima accident focused on the impact of the Internet on coverage of the incident. However, little research has addressed news framing or comparisons of the perceptions of journalists in relation to reporting nuclear accidents. The aim of this study is to apply framing analysis to news content in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today about the Fukushima accident. It explores the question of how journalists view reporting on complex events. Content analysis of these three newspapers shows that conflict, responsibility, and economic consequences were the most frequently used frames. According to the journalists interviewed, the biggest problem was the inability to assess information due to contrary positions held by experts. It is argued that the Fukushima accident was framed as a conflict of experts and officials' opinions, utility and government officials' responsibility, and economic consequences for the United States. Adherence to professional norms of objectivity and impartiality was signified as the best approaches to risk reporting.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify cosemetics purchasing behavior of male college students by clothing involvement. A questionnaire was administered to 246 male collage students living in Taegu and Seoul during September of 1999. Data were analyzed by using frequency, cross tabulation, t-test, χ²-test and factor analysis. The results of this study were as follows : First, the consumers are classified into two categories by clothing involvement ; 65.5% of the highly involved consumers and 34.5% of the lowly involved consumers. Second, the factors of selecting cosmetics were fragrance, quality and price. Third, the major information sources of cosmetics are TV, magazines, outdoor advertisements, newspapers, subway, radio and internet in order of importance. Fourth, high clothing involved group was more fashion oriented and showed more impulsive purchasing attribute.

  • Electrophoretic display has recently stimulated tremendous interest due to potential commercialization in the filed of information displays including e-books, e-newspapers, and other low-power portable displays. A new transparent soft mold press (TSMP) process developed in this study was found to give a good electrophoretic display panel with prepatterned micropools for the filling of charged particle slurry. It was also found that charged $TiO_2$ particles with 74.09 mV of zeta potential and 3.11 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ $cm^2$/Vs of mobility were successfully prepared.

  • The objective of this paper was the development of boards made from waste newspapers. The boards were produced from particle ONP(old newspaper) to reduce energy consumption in the board production process. ONP boards bonded with polyurethan adhesives(PU) were produced on a laboratory scale, and their physical and mechanical properties were examined. The average density of the ONP was $0.48g/cm^3$, and the densities of the boards were $0.50-0.90g/cm^3$. Therefore, th compaction ratios of the boards were in the range of 1.04-1.88. The results obtained were as follows: 1) An increase in board density results in a corresponding improvement in bending properties. 2) An increase in board density results in increased thermal conductivity. 3) In this research, ONP board can be used only for interior applications. To gain exrerior applications, the dimensional stability properties(thickness swelling and water absorption) need to be improved.
