User-friendly software was developed to determine the shelf-life of perishable Korean seasoned side dishes in real time based on growth models of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. In the program algorithm, the primary spoilage and fastest-growing pathogenic organisms are selected according to the product characteristics, and their growth is simulated based on the previously monitored or recorded temperature history. To predict the growth of spoilage organisms with confidence limits, kinetic models for aerobic bacteria or molds/yeasts from published works are used. Growth models of pathogenic bacteria were obtained from the literature or derived with regression of their growth rate data estimated from established software packages. These models are also used to check whether the risk of pathogenic bacterial growth exceeds that of food spoilage organisms. Many example simulations showed that the shelf-lives of the examined foods are predominantly limited by the growth of spoilage organism rather than by pathogenic bacterial growth.

The purpose of this study was to suggest that the history of science be introduced to students in the secondary school to help understand the developmental process of the scientific concepts, especially the concept 'heat'. Reviewing the national and international researches related to students' concept 'heat' revealed that many students tend to grasp the wrong concept of heat based on the caloric theory. Studies on definitions and explanations of the concept 'heat' and related concepts in secondary school science textbooks indicated that the way 'heat' was described could not help students to correct their misconceptions. In conclusion we need to include the historical and developmental process of scientific concepts such as heat in textbooks.

The human chromosomes 2, 7, 12 and 17 show genomic homology around Hox gene clusters, is taken as evidence that these paralogous gene families might have arisen from a ancestral chromosomal segment through genome duplication events. We have examined protein data from vertebrate and invertebrate genomes to analyze the phylogenetic history of multi-gene families with three or more of their representatives linked to human Hox clusters. Topology comparison based upon statistical significance and information of chromosome location for these genes examined have revealed many of linked genes coduplicated with Hox gene clusters. Most linked genes to Hox clusters share the same evolutionary history and are duplicated in concert with each other. We conclude that gene families linked to Hox clusters may be suggestion of ancient genome duplications.

Virtual communities are studied to analyze their characteristic features, types, and tole to modern society. The article is aimed at creating a classification of virtual communities according to specific characteristics, which can be used to model the interaction, and necessity of components that are important for the community. The classification of virtual communities will contribute to their better performance and satisfy the users' needs in information. The study reveals the value structure of virtual communities, educational and communicative influence, and the possible threats these communities may bring to society and security.

The aim of this study is to acquire a better understanding of how natural history(NH) and natural history museums(NHM) are perceived among students, teachers and parents by administering a questionnaire. A total of over 2500 people participated in this survey. We developed the questionnaire which was categorized by three specific areas: 1) people's overall perceptions of natural history and natural history museums; 2)the way of people's getting such perceptions and knowledge; 3) people's possessing interests in NH and NHM. The summary of survey results included; firstly people had paid attention to nature and natural environments; secondly NH and NHM were not familiar to people, but they expressed their eagerness to learn about them; thirdly the first image occurred to people was dinosaur, when they recalled NH and NHM with describing them to be mysterious and education.; on the fourth, NH and NHM were informed through TV programs; lastly, most people responded that they never learned about NH and NHM in schools but they wanted to learn them.

Most student misconceptions about evolution are similar to misconceptions and disputes which early scientists had in science history. The aim of this study was to analyze student evolution conceptions based on science history, there by revealing for effectively teaching strategies on evolution. A test was developed according to Lee's three dimensional framework (2004) on evolution concept changes. Lee's framework had been constructed according to 4 stages of evolution concept changes in history in three-dimensional aspects such as mechanism, time, and subject: before Lamarck (stage 1), Lamarck (stage 2), Darwin (stage 3), and after Darwin (stage 4). Major results were as follows. First, the evolution conceptions of students appeared fixed to stage 2 regardless of grade. Moreover, students usually possessed Lamarckian thought and did not show consistency in evolution concepts among the three dimensional aspects of mechanism, time, and subject. Therefore, students were found to apply different conceptions of evolution to each different situation.

Objectives : The acupoint-meridian relationship of an acupoint is one of important features of the acupoint. It has also shown evolutionary development over the history of medicine. This study analyzed the prototype kind of information on acupoint-meridian relationships in the A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion(the Classic) of 2c BCE. Methods : The acupoint-meridian relationship of all the acupoints listed in the Classic was counted and reviewed in comparison with the information in the contemporary standard texts. Results : In comparison with the contemporary standard of 361 meridian points, the Classic listed 349(97%) acupoints. Of contemporary standard 361 points, 287(81%) acupoints still maintain the same acupoint-meridian relationship as in the Classic. Conclusions : Acupoint-meridian relationship in the Classic has largely been maintained throughout the history and still comprises a major proportion of the contemporary body of knowledge on acupoint-meridian relationship.

This article includes an introduction, a history of Pick's theorem on lattice polyhedron and its proof, Reeve's theorem on 3-dimensional lattice polyhedrons extended from the Pick's theorem and Ehrhart polynomial generalized as an n-dimensional lattice polyhedron, and then shows the relationship between the volume of 3-dimensional polyhedron and the number of its lattice points by means of Reeve's theorem. It is aimed to apply the relationship to the visualization of sums in sequences.

Informational urbanism is a new research area in information science. In this study, art history joins informational urbanism: Are digital artworks in public urban spaces recognized as essential assets of a smart city? We employed case study research, working with the example of the huge digital media façade of the Arthouse Graz as an artwork in a public space. In a mixed-methods approach, we asked passers-by and interviewed experts on Graz as a smart city and on the Arthouse's role concerning the image of Graz as a smart city. The research found strong hints that indeed digital artworks with large screens or media façades at public spaces are parts of a city's weak location factors as well as of the city's urban structure and may symbolize the city's smartness. A practical implication of this finding is that artists, computer and information scientists, city planners, and architects should include interactive contemporary digital art into city spaces in order to demonstrate the city's way towards knowledge society.

다중 도메인 목적 지향 대화에서 기존 딥 러닝을 이용한 대화 상태 추적(Dialog state tracking)은 여러 턴 동안 누적된 사용자와 시스템 간 대화를 입력 받아 슬롯 밸류(Slot value)를 추출하는 모델들이 연구되었다. 하지만 이 모델들은 대화가 길어질수록 연산량이 증가한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다중 도메인 대화에서 누적된 대화의 history 없이 슬롯 밸류를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 하지만, 단순하게 history를 제거하고 현재 턴의 발화만 입력 받는 방법은 문맥 정보의 손실로 이어진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 도메인 상태(Domain state)를 도입하여 매 턴 마다 대화 상태와 함께 추적하는 모델을 제안한다. 도메인 상태를 같이 추적함으로써 현재 어떠한 도메인에 대하여 대화가 진행되고 있는지를 파악한다. 또한, 함축된 문맥 정보를 담고 있는 이전 턴의 대화 상태와 도메인 상태를 현재 턴의 발화와 같이 입력 받아 정보의 손실을 줄였다. 대표적인 데이터 셋인 MultiWOZ 2.0과 MultiWOZ 2.1에서 실험한 결과, 대화의 history를 사용하지 않고도 대화 상태 추적에 있어 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 시스템 응답과 과거 발화에 대한 의존성을 제거하여 end-to-end 대화 시스템으로의 확장이 좀 더 용이할 것으로 기대된다.
