The purposes of this study were first to construct statistical and econometric models based on Amemiya\`s Type I Tobit mainly addressing the issue of statistical efficiency; second to explore income, price, and curvilinear age effects on the explained variable in order to illustrates its statistical marginal effects related to econometric issues; finally to provide invaluable insight for graphical simulations as a new interpretation approach using Tobit analysis. Results indicated that interpretation for the mean marginal effects of three possible cases of dependent variable was more likely to be evident to understand Tobit results compared to conventional analysis only using latent variable, beta. Results also revealed that prediction value of dependent variable can be possibly and easily projected by the independent variable changed whereas only beta value can not illustrate its projection as independent variables'changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of the sensoryscape (sport fans' stadium experiences via the five senses) on connectedness and elation that sport fans have about their teams. Research design, data, and methodology: To achieve this purpose, structural equation modeling was conducted with a total of 417 KBO baseball fans. Results: The results of the research are as follows. First, stadium experiences via sport fans' sight, sound, and touch had positive effects on connectedness that consists of passion, nostalgia, supportive, and connected. Second, stadium experiences via sport fans' sight, sound, and taste had positive effects on elation that consists of happy, excited, pleased, proud, optimistic, and entertained. Conclusions: This research provides the first empirical evidence of the effects of sport fans' sensory experiences on emotions associated with sport teams. In order to maximize connectedness and elation that sport fans have about their teams, sport marketers need to develop specific sensory strategies that affect stadium experiences. Further implications were discussed.

We investigate spin transfer torque (STT) in magnetic multilayer structures using micromagnetic simulations. We implement the STT contribution for magnetic multilayer structures in addition to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) micromagnetic simulators. In addition to the Sloncewski STT term, the zero, first, and second order field-like terms are also considered as well as the effects of the Oersted field due to the running current are addressed. We determine the switching current densities of the free layer with the exchange biased synthetic ferrimagnetic reference layers for various cases.

A method to numerically evaluate the behaviour of single span beams, prestressed with external tendons and symmetrically loaded is presented. This algorithm, based on the Finite Difference Method, includes second order effects and large displacements in an attempt to more fully understand the behaviour of the beam up to collapse. The numerical technique discussed is particularly appropriate for the analysis of R.C. and P.C. beams rehabilitated or strengthened by means of external prestressing but it is reliable for the analysis of new beams as well.

This paper proposes a high-performance VLSl architecture using distributed arithmetic for higher-order FIR filters with complex coefficients. For the purpose of realizing high sampling rate with small latency in high-order filters, we apply distributed arithmetic[1］. Moreover, in order to decrease drastically the power dissipation, the structure applying not ROM's but optimum function circuits which we have previously proposed, is utilized［2]［3］. However, this structure increases in the number of adders as compared to the conventional structure applying ROM's. In order to realize a more effective method for further higher-order filter, we propose newly an implementation applying two methods which have large effects on the unit using the adders. First , we propose an implementation applying SFAs(Serial Full Adders) and SFSs(Serial Full Subtractors). Second, we propose a structure applying proposed 4-2 adders. Finally, it is shown that the proposed architecture is an effective way to realize low power dissipation and small latency while the sampling rate is kept constant for further higher-order filters with complex coefficients.

The switching frequency of a power device is a very important parameter in the design of a parallel active power filter (PAPF), but so far, very little discussion has been conducted on it in a quantitative manner in previous publications. In this paper, an extensive analysis on the effects of the switching frequency on the performance of a PAPF is made, and a specification of the switching frequency values with different compensation results is presented. A first-order inertia element and a second-order oscillation element are considered as approximate models of a PAPF, respectively. The compensation characteristic for each order of harmonic current is obtained at different switching frequencies. Then, the THDs of each model for the system loads of a rectifier with resistance and inductance loads are proposed. The compensation results of a PAPF controlled as a first-order inertia element are better than those of a PAPF controlled as a second-order oscillation element. With two types of system loads which are rectifier with resistance and inductance loads and rectifier with resistance, inductance and capacitance loads, the THDs of the source current after compensation are presented with different switching frequencies. The compensation characteristics for the most widely used digital control system are investigated. The situation with an analog control is the theoretical characteristic and it is the best situation. The compensation characteristic of the digital control is worse than the compensation characteristic of the theoretical characteristic. Based on these analyses, the specifications of compensation characteristics with different switching frequencies are quite straightforward. Finally, a practical design example is studied to verify the application.

This study conducted frequency analysis to explain demographic characteristics using SPSS 18.0 in order to examine the effects of emotional labor of open kitchen employees working for hotels or food service companies. In addition, factor analyses and reliability analyses were performed to test validity and reliability of measured items, and this study also conducted regression analyses in order to test proposed hypotheses in this study. Results are as follows: First, for the effects of the emotional labor of open kitchen employees on job satisfaction, it was found that deep acting has positive effects on job satisfaction, whereas surface acting has negative effects on it. Second, the result shows that job satisfaction has a positive (+) effect on customer orientation. Third, it was found that deep acting has positive effects on customer orientation, while surface acting does not have any significant effects on it. It is considered that supervisors and colleagues' support and assistance are required as a way of reducing emotional labor of employees who work in the open kitchen.

The nonlinear aerodynamic instability of a tensioned plane orthotropic membrane structure is theoretically investigated in this paper. The interaction governing equation of wind-structure coupling is established by the Von $K\acute{a}rm\acute{a}n's$ large amplitude theory and the D'Alembert's principle. The aerodynamic force is determined by the potential flow theory of fluid mechanics and the thin airfoil theory of aerodynamics. Then the interaction governing equation is transformed into a second order nonlinear differential equation with constant coefficients by the Bubnov-Galerkin method. The critical wind velocity is obtained by judging the stability of the second order nonlinear differential equation. From the analysis of examples, we can conclude that it's of great significance to consider the orthotropy and geometrical nonlinearity to prevent the aerodynamic instability of plane membrane structures; we should comprehensively consider the effects of various factors on the design of plane membrane structures; and the formula of critical wind velocity obtained in this paper provides a more accurate theoretical solution for the aerodynamic stability of the plane membrane structures than the previous studies.

This paper describes the buckling phenomenon of a tubular truss with unsupported length through a full-scale test and presents a practical computational method for the design of the trusses allowing for the contribution of torsional stiffness against buckling, of which the effect has never been considered previously by others. The current practice for the design of a planar truss has largely been based on the linear elastic approach which cannot allow for the contribution of torsional stiffness and tension members in a structural system against buckling. The over-simplified analytical technique is unable to provide a realistic and an economical design to a structure. In this paper the stability theory is applied to the second-order analysis and design of the structural form, with detailed allowance for the instability and second-order effects in compliance with design code requirements. Finally, the paper demonstrates the application of the proposed method to the stability design of a commonly adopted truss system used in support of glass panels in which lateral bracing members are highly undesirable for economical and aesthetic reasons.

Aging ships can suffer structural damage due to corrosion, fatigue crack etc., and possibility of catastrophic failure of seriously damaged ships is very high. To reduce the risk of loss of ships due to hull collapse, it is essential to evaluate ultimate hull strength of aging ships taking into account various uncertainties associated with structural damages. In this paper, ultimate strength-based reliability analysis of ship structures considering wear of structural members due to corrosion is described. A corrosion rate estimate model for structural members is introduced. An ultimate limit state function of a ship hull is formulated taking into account corrosion effects. The model is applied to an existing oil tanker, and reliability index associated with hull collapse is calculated by using the second-order reliability method (SORM). Discussions on structure safety of corroded ships are made.
