We compare a coding space which has an ultra metric with the unit interval which has an associated generalized dyadic expansion. The two spaces are not homeomorphic but dimensionally equivalent in the sense that the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the corresponding distribution sets in the two spaces coincide.

The concept of empathy was examined In the professional caregiving relationship and its application was extended to the context of informal caregiving. Using the Lazarus and Folkman model, the influence of empathy on the caregiver's experience in the caregiving relationship was illustrated. The effects of the caregiver's empathy on his/her own caregiving outcomes were investigated by examining the relationship between empathy and burnout experience and life satisfaction. Empathy increased emotional exhaustion while increased personal accomplishment and personalization, indicating conflicting relationship between empathy and burnout. This conflict relationship between empathy and burnout can be explained by suggesting the distinct roles of two dimensions of empathy emotional and cognitive. The needs for more research to support the critical roles of empathy in informal caregiving context and to examine the definite roles of two dimensions of empathy were suggested.

Information systems outsourcing takes diverse forms for various reasons. In order to analyze the diverse types of outsourcing relationships between outsourcing vendors and clients, two dimensions of outsourcing decisions proposed by Nam et. al. (1996), "the extent of substitution by vendors" and "the strategic impact of outsourced IS applications", are utilized as a framework. Four cells depicting types of outsourcing relationships are described based on the two dimensions. This paper studies the outsourcing experiences of four representative firms selected from 15 case study firms located in the U.S. within the framework of the proposed four types of outsourcing relationships. The movement of four firms in terms of its outsourcing decision within and across the cells is examined in order to derive the managerial guidelines over time.

The purpose of this study was to understand the consumer non-ethical behavior and the interaction with salespersons and their relationships. For this purpose, adults in Chunlabuk-do were surveyed and 675 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS statistical program. The results of the analysis were as follows: 1. Three dimensions of the consumer non-ethical behaviors were the unconscience, the illegality, and the deception. Two dimensions of the interaction with salespersons were the passive and the assertive interactions. 2. There were two clusters respectively; ethical and non-ethical groups for the consumer non-ethical behavior/ passive and assertive groups for the interaction with salespersons. 3. Generally, the more educated and the older persons were, the less they tended to be ethical and the more passively they tended to interact with the salespersons. 4. There were significant differences between the clusters of consumer non-ethical behavior and those of interaction. The non-assertive interaction group were found more in the non-ethical group and the assertive interaction group more in the ethical groups.

This paper is concerned with global existence of weak solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Klein-Gordon system. The energy of this system is conserved, but the interaction term ${\int}_{{\mathbb{R}}^n}\;{\rho}{\varphi}dx$ in it need not be positive. So far existence of global weak solutions has been established only for small initial data [9, 14]. In two dimensions, this paper shows that the interaction term can be estimated by the kinetic energy to the power of ${\frac{4q-4}{3q-2}}$ for 1 < q < 2. As a consequence, global existence of weak solutions for general initial data is obtained.

For more than a decade, trust and commitment have received much attention in marketing channels literature. This study investigates the effects of these two core relational dimensions on the performance of EDI-supported marketing channels. A survey of the 92 suppliers of large department stores in Korea indicates that commitment to EDI increases significantly the organizational and economic performance of EDI-supported marketing channels. Trust was found to increase EDI performance indirectly by enhancing commitment to EDI. Based on the Social Information Processing(SIP) theory the present study also explored the effects of time on trust and commitment to EDI and their impacts on EDI performance. Analyses supported the hypothesized time effects that trust and commitment to EDI develop positively as EDI moves from initial stage to application stage. However, the impacts of these two dimensions on EDI performance did not change significantly over time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the components of newness and product innovativeness of smart clothing, and to examine the evaluation of newness and innovativeness of smart clothing according to the consumer innovativeness. The survey was conducted on male and female subjects aged from 17 to 50. A total of 338 valid responses were used for the analysis. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the evaluation of smart clothing newness consisted of five items: 'novel', 'modern', 'original', 'fresh' and 'up-to-date'. The evaluation of smart clothing innovativeness consisted of two dimensions. One is the evaluation of innovativeness as clothing and the other is the evaluation of innovativenss as electronic devices. The validity of two dimensions were verified by confirmatory factor analysis. The results of ANOVA and Duncan test indicated that there were differences in the evaluation of newness and smart clothing innovativenss according to consumer innovativeness.

The area of discourse analysis has long neglected the value of images as a semiotic resource in communication. This paper suggests that like language, images are rich in meaning potential and are governed by visual grammar structures which can be utilized to decode the meanings of images. Employing a theoretical framework in visual communication, two digital images are examined for their representational and interactive dimensions and the dimensions' relation to the magazine advertisement genre. The results show that the framework identified narrative and conceptual processes, relations between participants and viewers, and symbolic attributes of the images, which all contribute to the sociological interpretations of the images. The identities and relationships between viewers and participants suggested in the images signify desirable qualities that may be associated to the product of the advertiser. The findings support the theory of visual grammar and highlight the potential of images to convey multi-layered meanings.

The branch and bound techniques based on cut tree and eigenvector have been Introduced in the literature [1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12]. These techniques are used as a basis to allocate departments to floors and then to fit departments with unchangeable dimensions into floors. Grouping algorithms to allocate departments to each floor are developed and branch and bound forms the basis of optimizing using the criteria of rectilinear distance. The proposed branch and bound technique, in theory, will provide the optimal solution on two dimensional layout. If the runs are time and/or node limited, the proposed method is a strong heuristic The technique is made further practical by the fact that the solution is constrained such that the rectangular shape dimensions length and width are fixed and a perfect fit is generated if a fit is possible. Computational results obtained by cut tree-based algorithm and eigenvector-based algorithm are shown when the number of floors are two or three and there is an elevator.

In this paper, I investigate the acoustic correlates of a vowel's coarticulatory dynamics manifested in preceding and following consonants along two dimensions of the vocal tract: place of articulation and degree of constriction. Two dimensional coarticulation is not necessarily executed either concomitantly or proportionally, and the modification induced by coarticulation with a vowel in CVC structures is merely restricted to the CV portion; that is, the prevocalic consonant is modified solely in its constriction location. This is consistent with the observation that C-to-V place assimilation does not accompany consonant lenition in phonology, which suggests that phonetic nature is effectively reflected in phonological patterns.
