A hereditary base-b representation, used in the celebrated Goodstein's theorem, can easily be converted into a labeled rooted tree. In this way it is possible to give a more elementary geometric proof of the aforementioned theorem and to establish a more general version, geometrically proved. This view is very useful for better understanding the underlying logical problems and the need to use transfinite induction in the proof. Similar problems will then be considered, such as the so-called "hydra game".

IoT technology application has been part of modern people's everyday life. This technology makes people to depend on smart devices. 'Smartphone' is the most typical example. Despite the advantages given by this device, the bad side effects are also notable. This paper presents interactive content on the dependence of smartphone device. The research objective is to make individuals to reduce the use of smartphones by realizing their own problems of smartphone dependency. Research was progressed by analyzing aspects obtained from users participating in the self-developed interactive game contents. As a result of the analysis, approximately 68% of people were aware of the problem through this content. This indicates the potential of using convergence research in interactive contents with other fields furthermore.

The increase in the use of video games is resulting in the perception of some variables for video gamers. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the drivers for video games and their effects on the users to lead the growth strategies for the video gaming business. In this study, the drivers of video game play are creativities and enjoyment which are based on previous studies. And an empirical analysis was performed to determine the effect of these variables on intention to reuse. First, the results showed that artistic, scientific, and general creativity affect perceived enjoyment. Second, perceived enjoyment appeared to be a significant factor of intention to reuse. Specially, the author confirmed that artistic creativity has a very significant effect on enjoyment of video games.

In this paper, we implement a crossword game, which operate by speech. The CAA (Cross Array Algorithm) produces the crossword array randomly and automatically using an domain-dictionary. For producing the crossword array, we construct seven domain-dictionaries. The crossword game is operated by a mouse and a keyboard and is also operated by speech. For the user interface by speech, we use a speech recognizer and a speech synthesizer and this provide more comfortable interface to the user. The efficiency evaluation of CAA is performed by estimating the processing times of producing the crossword array and the generation ratio of the crossword array. As the results of the CAA's efficiency evaluation, the processing times is about 10ms and the generation ratio of the crossword array is about 50%. Also, the recognition rates were 95.5%, 97.6% and 96.2% for the window sizes of "$7{\times}7$", "$9{\times}9$," and "$11{\times}11$" respectively.}11$" respectively.vely.

Convergence in technology and media makes it possible to augment nurturing by making blended infrastructures with new digital resources available in learning environments at schools. A game-based provision of educationally-valuable content within a collective, virtual environment combined with an analysis of events in the game after it has been played (blended nurture environment) may help to better communicate human values especially where old-fashioned discussion methods fail or do not fulfill the promise of effective, educational institution-based methods of bringing up. In this paper we discuss the use of behavioural metaphors in game-based blended-nurture scenarios for computer games and pedagogical-psychological tests. Upbringing demands an active intervention in the process of children growing up and the courage to place higher expectations on ourselves and our own lifestyles. Decisions and the behaviour of the younger generation are often irrational and the resulting effects can have destructive consequences. Nowadays, games take on the role of modern storytellers. With the help of complex analogies in games, a variety of situations can be depicted in an eye-catching way and later discussed.

With the growing market for the internet advertisement, the user perceptions of the importance of the Internet advertisement have been also changed. It is quite certain that the use of Internet banner advertising, which is much more cost-effective than other types of advertisement, is the most attractive to advertisers. At the same time, the interactivity of the internet banner advertisement has been recognized as an attractive portion of advertisement, which can make the users keep their attention toward the banner advertisement. The internet banner advertisement utilizes its characteristics, such as the additions of both visualized transformations and synesthetic concepts, to increase users' curiosity and interest. Hence, the present study analyzed the cases by exploring potential seven display factors of game-like internet banner advertisement based on previous literature with regard to the analysis of characteristics of the internet banner advertisement, components of design structures, and components of games.

Games are usually composed with several units such as monsters, weapons etc.. There are often intransitive relationships between units, like the one among rock, scissors and paper. Intransitive relationships guarantee the variation of strategy choices while playing. But AIs in many games have been ignored intransitive relationships because decision making with those relationships is complex to model. This paper suggests how to use intransitive relationships to modify influence map. With the modified influence map game AI can make a different decision to win the game. With path-finding technique, this paper shows that the modified influence map makes AI's behaviors better.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between short sleep, obesity, and screen time. Methods: Data were obtained from a survey using a sample of 1,166 academic, and 597 vocational high school students. A structured questionnaire was used to assess demographics, hours spent in sleep, TV viewing, internet usage, and game playing. Obesity was determined using the body mass index. Descriptive statistics, Cochran Mantel Haenszel Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression with dummy variables were performed. Results: Short sleep (<8 hours/day) was significantly related to obesity, not in academic school students, but in vocational school students. Academic high school students who had enough sleep (${\geq}8$ hours/day), had more time spent on TV viewing, internet usage, and game playing. Similar results were found in vocational high school students except for internet use. Interestingly, students with better school performance spent significantly less time in TV viewing, internet usage, and game playing, and therefore had a lower risk of obesity in academic school students. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between short sleep and obesity that was found only in vocational high school students. The relationship between short sleep and screen time was not significant in Korean high school students.

A new compressed image format is proposed to use a large size of image in mobile games without the constraints of hardware specifications such as memory amount, processing power, which encodes each block of a large size image in scan line order. Using the experiments, we show the effectiveness of proposed method compared with a general PNG in terms of compression ratios and required memory in decoding processes. Also, the loading delay can be reduced by decoding only the displaying area of a large image in run-time.

When the game is used in mathematics loaming, students take pleasure of game in themselves and communicate through interaction with other students naturally. It is important because the game is activity for intellectual growth and social development. Also students have had affirmative attitude about mathematics by Emu. The communication in mathematics loaming helps that linking informal and intuitive thinking of students with abstract and basic mathematical language and that it also helps changing from the dependent situation to teacher to the self-directive teaming of students. The purpose of this thesis is to effect on extension of mathematical communication ability to the second grade of elementary school students by applying of computational-strategy games. It has conclusion as follows. Application of computational-strategy games had effected on extension of mathematical communication ability importantly. When students have mathematical communication through computational-strategy games, at the beginning, the words which students used was long, incorrect, and unnecessary words. But at the later, students became to use clear, correct concise words as they connect their routine language with mathematical symbol. Therefore we can make sure that mathematical communication ability of the second grade students' is extended by applying of computational-strategy games.
