The values of the AIT (autoignition temperature) for fire and explosion protection are normally the lowest reported. The MAITB (Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior) of flammable liquid mixture is exhibited when the AITs of mixture is below the AIT of the individual components. The MAITB is an interesting experimental features, which can be significant from the perspective of industrial fire safety. In this study, the AITs of toluene + iso-propanol(IPA) and p-xylene + n-butanol systems were measured using ASTM E659-78 apparatus. The AITs of toluene, iso-propanol (IPA), pxylene and n-butanol which constituted two binary systems were $547^{\circ}C,\;463^{\circ}C,\;557^{\circ}C$ and $340^{\circ}C$ respectively. The toluene + iso-propanol(IPA) system is exhibited MAITB at 0.3 mole fraction of toluene, and its minimum autoignition temperature was $460^{\circ}C$.

This study is a study on the service quality attributes of serving robots, which have recently been introduced in the restaurant industry, and was verified using revised IPA analysis. An online survey was conducted on consumers who used serving robot services, and 300 respondents were analyzed by difference analysis and IPA analysis, excluding 13 who responded insincerely. The verification results showed that there was no significant difference in the service quality attributes of serving robots by age, but there was a significant difference by age. Those in their 50s and 60s showed higher interest than those in their 20s and 30s. The difference analysis results of importance and satisfaction showed that there was a partial significant difference. The results of revised IPA analysis showed that interest in serving robots was high, but the service was not yet satisfactory. These results suggest the current level of consumer awareness of the service quality attributes of serving robots and provide academic implications for follow-up research and practical implications for a restaurant management expert.

Daycare center is an important space for children's mental, physical and social development. Each space of daycare center should be designed and constructed considering interests of end-users such as children and teachers. However, insufficient related guidelines and standardized design and construction of daycare center to moderate potential risks of each space. This arises from the difference in perception of each space between end-users (head and sub teachers) and construction experts (designers and contractors). Therefore, research framework was developed for analyzing the factors of perception differences of each space in daycare center between these groups applied traditional and modified Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). By comparing risk perception between end-users and experts in two methods, it can be support as construction guide for daycare center in the future and will help minimize conflicts in construction among stakeholders. Moreover, it was found that traditional IPA is comfortable to catch prior project perception of participants, and revised IPA is considered to judge outputs by identifying participant's importance based on the satisfaction of the project performance. Therefore, if IPAs are applied according to the characteristics of the circumstances, it is possible to analyze the perception difference between end-users and construction experts based on the context before and after the construction of the daycare center.

This study was intended to investigate differences in the recognition of the importance and performance of clinical nutrition management by using IPA. For the study, 100 clinical nutritionists working at medical institutions were analyzed. In all 17 categories of nutritional management, significant differences were observed in awareness of performance and importance. The categories with the greatest difference in importance and performance awareness were the nutritionist's participation in clinical nutrition education and related job development activities(1.38), and the lowest categories were the provision of therapeutic meals(0.69). Since IPA analysis results showed that participation in clinical nutrition education and related task development were both low in importance and performance, it should be improved first. A way to improve is for nutritionists to receive internal and external education. Above all things, for effective treatment, policies to include clinical nutritionist in the category of medical personnel, and cooperation between the medical sector and nutrition service management are necessary.
