Owing to the development of mobile communication technology during the last a few years, the number of users of mobile devices such as the smartphone and the tablet PC has increased rapidly. As a result, the range of applications of the mobile devices has also been greatly expanded from an application for the convenience of daily life to an application for assisting the operations of industrial fields. Especially, portability of mobile devices can provide great help in collecting and using information on the production site. In shipbuilding production processes, it is difficult to collect changes of circumstance in the field and reflect the changes to schedule due to the low production automation rate and frequent changes in schedule. In this study, we propose a system to solve the problems of shipbuilding production processes such as the ones described above by using mobile devices. First of all, we organize the production information and production processes of the panel line through the analysis of shipyard panel line operations. Next, we have developed a system that can support the production execution plan of the panel line and monitor the production processes in the field. The system was developed utilizing application virtualization to allow access to the system from various platforms of mobile devices and PC's. The system was implemented using ooCBD methodology considering the future expansion of the system and ease of maintenance.

Recently, Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has promise to revolutionize human daily life. The need for multiple sensors and constant monitoring lead these systems to be energy hungry and expensive with short operating lifetimes. In this paper, we offer a review of existing work of WBAN and focus on energy-aware management in it. We emphasize that nodes computation, wireless communication, topology deployment and energy scavenging are main domains for making a long-lived WBAN. We study the popular power management technique Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) and identify the impact of slack time in Dynamic Power Management (DPM), and finally propose an enhanced dynamic power management method to schedule scaled jobs at slack time with the goal of saving energy and keeping system reliability. Theoretical and experimental evaluations exhibit the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Probabilistic distribution functions based data generation method is very effective. Probabilistic distribution functions are defined under the assumption that daily routine contexts are mainly depended on a time-based schedule. However, daily life contexts are frequently determined by previous contexts because contexts have consistency and/or sequential flows. In order to refect previous contexts effect, a situation propagation network is proposed in this paper. As proposed situation propagation network make parameters of related probabilistic distribution functions update, generated contexts can be more realistic and natural. Through the simulation study, proposed context-data generation model generated general outworker's data about 11 daily contexts at home. Generated data are evaluated with respect to reduction of ambiguity and confliction using newly defined indexes of ambiguity and confliction of sequential contexts. In conclusion, in case of combining situation propagation network with probabilistic distribution functions, ambiguity and confliction of data can be reduced 6.45% and 4.60% respectively.

In modern society, there is a tendency to emphasize efficiency and lead to detailed planning of team projects and individual tasks within organizations. In a 24-hour routine, the ability to use time effectively is considered an indicator of conscientiousness, and people try to imitate planned and organized people and utilize various systems to manage their daily lives. The reason why you want to perform a given task efficiently is because it affects the success or failure of the project by completing the task within a set period of time. Neglecting the project schedule is considered a major risk that threatens a successful outcome. This applies not only to large-scale organizational projects but also to individual life, and utilizes a variety of schedule management tools that emphasize time-based efficient management. In project management, it is necessary to carefully understand the detailed work progress rather than simply based on Today. In this paper, we propose an Android application that can manage schedules by accessing the user's project in units of tasks rather than dates, and introduce its implementation. The application we implemented in this paper can manage the project's goals and schedule by registering the project to which the user belongs. In addition, it provides the ability to approach work efficiently by visualizing the progress of the entire project or individual goals. As a result, users can use the application we propose in this paper to focus on their projects and manage schedules by task, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the project.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of a stair-stepped feed intake pattern on growth, feed efficiency, and meat quality of Hanwoo steers. Twenty-seven 11-month-old Hanwoo steers were randomly divided into three groups. The control group was fed according to the Korean steer feeding program, and the other two groups were fed according to an alternated feeding schedule of 3-2-4-2 months. During the first three months of the experiment, treatment group 1 (T1) and treatment group 2 (T2) were fed 20% and 30% less than the control group, respectively. For the following two months, the T1 group was fed 20% more than the control group while the T2 group was fed 20% less than the control group. In the third step, T1 and T2 groups were fed 20% and 10% less, respectively, than the control group for four months. In the last two months, T1 and T2 groups were fed 20% more than the control group. After the stair-step feeding trial, steers were fed concentrated feed ad libitum for five months. The altered feed intake pattern did not affect daily body weight gain. However, daily feed intake tended to decrease and growth efficiency tended to increase in the two treatment groups compared to the control group. Altered feed intake also affected blood metabolite levels. The serum glucose and BUN level of the T1 group increased in the first re-fed period compared to the T2 and control groups. The serum cholesterol level of the T2 group decreased in the first restricted-re-fed growth period compared to the T1 and control groups. The serum NEFA levels of the two treatment groups increased from the first restricted period compared to the controls. The serum insulin level of the T2 group increased in the last period compared to the T1 and control groups. Regarding meat yield index, the control group was significantly higher than the T2 group (p<0.05). Regarding meat yield grade, the carcass back fat thickness of the T2 group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). In marbling score, the T1 group was the highest (4.9), followed by the control group (4.1) and the T2 group (4.0). These results indicate that using a stair-stepped growth pattern (T1) can contribute to improvements in growth efficiency and muscle marbling.

This research aims to gain a better understanding of college students' thoughts on what factors make them happy and contribute to enhancing their happiness. We focused on the relationship between their self-assessed happiness and various factors affecting happiness, such as their socio-economic status, relationships with others, future orientation, and daily activities. Survey data were collected from October, 2014 to December, 2014 at a South Korean University. The final total number of respondents was 474 from 500 distributed questionnaires, after excluding 26 responses with missing values and unanswered items. The response was comprised of 247 male students, and 227 female students, and of 268 freshmen, 145 sophomores, 35 juniors, and 26 senior students. Factors that were statistically significant were gender, year, average cost of leisure, appearance satisfaction, conversation hour with parents, having girlfriend/boyfriend, sexual experience, number of friends, satisfaction with major, Grade Point Average (GPA), studying hours, time for self-improvement, reading hours, use of smart phone hours, number of daily meals, exercise hour, schedule management and future goal setting. This research was conducted utilizing only data from one university and so it may not be appropriate to generalize the results. Moreover, some of the variables are not in line with previous studies on happiness. Some other mediating variables may exist. Therefore, following research should be conducted.

BEMS(Building Energy Management Systems) have been applied to office buildings and collect relevant building energy data, e.g. temperatures, mass flow rates and energy consumptions of building mechanical systems and indoor spaces. The aforementioned measured data can be beneficially utilized for developing data-driven machine learning models which can be then used as part of MPC(Model Predictive Control) and/or optimal control strategies. In this study, the authors developed ANN(Artificial Neural Network) models of an AHU (Air Handling Unit) and a chiller for a real-life office building using BEMS data. Based on the ANN models, the authors developed optimal control strategies, e.g. daily operation schedule with regard to optimal start and stop of the AHU and the chiller (500 RT). It was found that due to the optimal start and stop of the AHU and the chiller, 4.5% and 16.4% of operation hours of the AHU and the chiller could be saved, compared to an existing operation.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of auditory stimulus using music on unilateral neglect in patients with stroke. Methods : This study used a single subject (ABA) design. The subject who showed unilateral neglect caused by stroke received auditory stimulus using music for 60 minutes per sessions. A total of 20 sessions were conducted. The unilateral neglect was measured by the Star cancellation test and Line bisection test during each session, and Catherine Bergego Scale was used to evaluate the degree of unilateral neglect in daily life pre-and post-test. Also, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule was used to test subject's emotional status. Results : During the intervention period, the results of the Star cancellation test and Line bisection test showed the trend of reduction of unilateral neglect symptom and the effects of intervention were maintained after intervention. After intervention, the results of CBS indicated decreased unilateral neglect symptom in activities of daily living and the results of PANAS indicated increased positive affect. Conclusions : The result of this study indicate that auditory stimulus has a positive effect on the unilateral neglect, and may be considered as alternative choice in clinical occupational therapy for reducing unilateral neglect.
