Recently, several nonlinear shape normalization methods have been proposed in order to compensate for the shape distortions in handwritten characters. In this paper, we review these nonlinear shape normalization methods from the two points of view : feature projection and feature density equalization. The former makes feature projection histogram by projecting a certain feature at each point of input image into horizontal-or vertical-axis and the latter equalizes the feature densities of input image by re-sampling the feature projection histogram. A systematic comparison of these methods has been made based on the following criteria: recognition rate, processing speed, computational complexity and measure of variation. Then, we present the result of quantitative evaluation of each method based on these criteria for a large variety of handwritten Hangul syllables.

The purpose of this study is to identify important selection attributes for customers dining at family restaurants in Seoul, and the determinant and predicting factors in customers' intentions to return. A closed-ended questionnaire was used, and a systematic sampling approach was employed to survey a sample of customers in family restaurants. The data were analyzed using factor and multiple regression analysis. A four-dimensional structure was established from 14 selection attributes. The results of the study indicated four dimensions that were significantly related to the likelihood of customers returning to the same restaurants, as follows: Food and Environment, Service and Courtesy, Price and value, and Location and promotion. The findings from this study have both theoretical and practical implications. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Due to the vast increase in the elderly population and the changes in traditional filial duties, the importance of the elderly living arrangement is being greatly emphasized. The purpose of this study was to analyse the determinant factor of intention to move into senior congregate housing. The survey was conducted among middle-aged people in their fifties, who lived in Seoul, using the systematic random sampling method. The final sample included 498 respondents. The results were as follows. 1) It was revealed that many respondents thought positively about senior congregate housing. Both of having children and income were proved as an important variables which had an impact factor to move into senior congregate housing. 2) It was found that residential environment was the more important factor than housing level itself or personal social environment.

This study quantified the carbon storage and uptake by street trees in Seoul and explored suitable planting and management strategies. A systematic sampling model was used to select 50 plots to survey the structures of street trees. The average density and cover of street trees were approximately 5.8 trees/$100m^2$ and 12.1%, respectively. Trees with a dbh of less than 30 cm accounted for about 66.3% of the total number of trees surveyed. The total carbon storage and uptake by the street trees were approximately 103,641 t and 10,992 t/yr, respectively. The total carbon uptake equaled the amount of annual carbon emissions from driving of about 11,000 cars. Street tree planting and management strategies were proposed to enhance carbon uptake. They included multi-layered and multi-aged planting, securing ground and space for plant growth, and avoiding excessive tree pruning.

The purpose of this study was investigate teachers’demands for home economics guidebooks of senior high school. Home economics teachers of the 379 schools were systematic all selected in nationwide random sampling, and over half of them responded to the mailed questionnaire. These data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, t-test, crosstab ulations, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations. The findings of this study were as follows: 1) Three kinds of guidbooks and textbooks were mainly used, and over 50% of teachers were using more than one guidebooks to prepare lectures, specially, housing unit. But the satisfaction with the guidebooks was about average. 2) Teachers had different opinions on the information in the housing unit of the guidebook. 3) The most respondents updated statistics, pictures, and practical materials.

The purposes of this study were 1)to examine the present and the preferred design characteristics of major interior furnishings in the Gamsil apartment area of Gangdong-Ku and to investigate the relationship between those characteristics and residents' socioeconomic and their physical housing characteristics, 2) to determine the past and the future factor structures for attributes of the major furnishing, and , 3) to examine the change between the degree of the past and the future consideration on each of the attributes. The data for the study were collected using self-administered questionnaire. Households in Gamsil apartment area of Gangdong-Ku were the population. A proportional stratified systematic random sampling was employed. 480 questionnaires were distributed and 258 were collected. Among them, SAS package. The staticstics used were frequency, percentage, χ\sup 2\-test, factor analysis, and paired t-test.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the direct relationship between doctors and number of patients to be treated by applying many kinds of I E's techniques. Generally, doctors in this research work both at OPD & IPD. Under the hospital manegement system that they are applying in, doctor's daily working schedules are instable because the numbers of OPD patients very daily. Therefore, the amount of time they spend for inward Patients are variable too. So the numbers of Patients have great influence to the whole hospital system management. In the first place, the author researched and analyzed a QC of administrative system. Tn the second place, the author carried out Work Sampling with a view for understanding quantity of a doctor's operation. The author suppose this research and analysis is one approach for improving systematic lay-out planning at outpatient waiting room where has many problems to be solved and suggest several process for improvement.

We suggest a summary of sample design for the statistical survey of E-commerce to estimate the general trend as well as the market size and investment scale of e-commerce based on the Census on Basic Characteristic of Establishments(CBCE). The sample design of this survey is composed of systematic sampling and modified cut-off method.

In a short history, RNA-seq data have established a revolutionary tool to directly decode various scenarios occurring on whole genome-wide expression profiles in regards with differential expression at gene, transcript, isoform, and exon specific quantification, genetic and genomic mutations, and etc. RNA-seq technique has been rapidly replacing arrays with seq-based platform experimental settings by revealing a couple of advantages such as identification of alternative splicing and allelic specific expression. The remarkable characteristics of high-throughput large-scale expression profile in RNA-seq are lied on expression levels of read counts, structure of correlated samples and genes, larger number of genes compared to sample size, different sampling rates, inevitable systematic RNA-seq biases, and etc. In this study, we will comprehensively review how robust Bayesian and non-parametric methods have a better performance than classical statistical approaches by explicitly incorporating such intrinsic RNA-seq specific features with flexible and more appropriate assumptions and distributions in practice.
