Recent advances in medical science have made people live longer, which has affected many aspects of life, such as caregiver burden, increasing cost of healthcare, increasing number of disabled and depressive disorder persons, and so on. Researchers are now focused on elderly living assistance services in smart home environments. In recent years, assisted living technologies have rapidly grown due to a faster growing aging society. Many smart devices are now interconnected within the home network environment and such a home setup supports collaborations between those devices based on the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the major challenges in providing elderly living assistance services is to consider each individual's requirements of different needs. In order to solve this, the virtualization of physical things, as well as the collaboration and composition of services provided by these physical things should be considered. In order to meet these challenges, Web of Objects (WoO) focuses on the implementation aspects of IoT to bring the assorted real world objects with the web applications. We proposed a semantic modelling technique for manual and semi-automated service composition. The aim of this work is to propose a framework to enable RESTful web services composition using semantic ontology for elderly living assistance services creation in WoO based smart home environment.

The appearance of SOA affects business and IT environment and many studies on SOA is progressed in academics and industries. Service will increase extremely and make business opportunity by composing service. In addition, It will support it. However, studies on selection of a service composition target are insufficient. In this study, we propose a framework that select a service composition target so we use Analytic Hierarchy Process methodology. As a result of this study, we enabled service selection to apply functional/non-functional attributes of services, various stakeholder's view and some selection criteria with service composition.

High strength 7xxx series Al-Zn-Mg alloy have been investigated for using light weight automotive parts especially for bump back beam. The composition of commercial 7xxx aluminum has the Zn/Mg ratio about 3 and Cu over 2 wt%, but this composition isn't adequate for appling to automotive bump back beam due to its high resistance to extrusion and bad weldability. In this study the Zn/Mg ratio was increased for better extrusion and Cu content was reduced for better welding. With this new composition we investigated the effect of composition on the resistivity against stress corrosion cracking. As the Zn/Mg ratio is increased fracture energy obtained by slow strain rate test was decreased, which means degradation of SCC resistance. While the fracture energy was increased with Cu contents although it is below 1%, which means improvement of SCC resistance. These effects of composition change on the SCC resistivity were identified by observing the fracture surface and crack propagation.

Self-organized nanostructures of dots, holes or ripples produced by energetic ion bombardment have been reported in a wide variety of substrates. Ion bombardment on an alloy or compound also draws much attention because it can induce a surface composition modulation with a topographical surface structure evolution. V. B. Shenoy et al. further suggested that, in the case of alloy surfaces, the differences in the sputtering yields and surface diffusivities of the alloy components will lead to a lateral surface composition modulation [1]. In the present work, the classical molecular dynamics simulation of Ar bombardment on metallic alloys at room temperature revealed that this bombardment induces a surface composition modulation in layer-by-layer mode. In both the $Co_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}$ alloy and the CoAl B2 phase, the element of higher-sputtering yield is accumulated on the top surface layer, whereas it is depleted in lower layers. A kinetic model considering both the rearrangement and the sputtering of the substrate atoms agrees with the puzzling simulation results, which revealed that the rearrangement of the substrate atoms plays a significant role in the observed composition modulation.

Effects of chitosan coating on respiration rate and internal gas composition of 'Fuji' apple and 'Satsuma' mandarin were investigated and compared to wax emulsions and two commercial coating materials. Chitosan coating reduced respiration rate significantly (p<0.05) in 'Fuji' apple and 'Satsuma' mandarin compared to uncoated and other coating materials. Chitosan coating on 'Fuji' apple showed the highest $CO_2$ and the lowest $O_2$ concentration in the internal gas composition at $5^{\circ}C$ but showed no differences compared to other coating materials at $20^{\circ}C$. 'Satsuma' mandarin showed significantly high $CO_2$ concentration in chitosan coating at $20^{\circ}C$ but there were not significant differences among coating materials in $CO_2$ and $O_2$ composition at $5^{\circ}C$.

This experiment was carried out to study the effect of pure nitrogen fertilization on botanical composition of grassland in 1987~ 1988 under practical conditions at the " Federal Institute for Agriculture in the Alps" in Austria. The application rates were 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120kg/ha/cut, the cutting regimes 3-, 4 , 5- and 6-cuts/year. The results were as follows: 1. Only PK fertilization resulted in higher botanical composition of Trifolium repens among legumes in grassland, which was increased by cutting frequency .2. Nitrogen fertilization on three-cut areas resulted in higher existence of generally valuable tall grasses such as Arrhenotherum elatius Trisetum flavescens and Dactylis glomerata . On the other hand, nitrogen fertilization on four-, five- and six-cut areas showed mainly Doctylis glomerato and Poa pratensis appearance. 3.For some cases, appearance of less valuable grasses, herbs and weeds such as Agropyron repens, Poa trivialis, Poa annua, Setoria viridis, Aegopodium podagra rio, Men landrium rubrum, Taraxacum officlnale, Achillea millefolium, Rorippa sylvestris and Polygonum ocleulare was *Bundesanstalt fur alpenlandische Landwirtschaft Gumpenstein(A-8952 Irdning, 6sterreich) increased on medium and high rates of N fertilized areas. 4.Reduction of sward density may also diminish the advantages of nitrogen fertilization and may be threatened by mainly high dressings of nitrogen combined with too late utilization of the sward. 5.Location altered the efficiency of nitrogen fertilization on botanical composition.mposition.

This article explores the relationship between the gender composition of scientific research teams and scientists' individual performance. The gender composition of research teams is an important feature of workplace settings and influences the way people interact and communicate; however, previous research has not directly examined its relationship with scientists' individual performance. Drawing on data collected on university faculties in China in 2016, this article tests several hypotheses about individual's performance in teams with different gender compositions. The results show that team gender composition has a clear gendered effect on scientists' individual performance. The effects of tokenism for women in men-majority teams is proven, but men in women-majority teams appear to be unaffected by tokenism. Moreover, the theories claiming that homogenous teams are more conducive to better individual performance than mixed teams are supported for men but not for women. The findings of this research suggest that recruiting more women into the scientific workforce may improve their performance and thereby help diminish the gender gap in performance. It also indicates that the Chinese preferential policies towards women in science formulated in recent years have had positive impacts. However, considering that more than half of the researchers in the survey are working in men-majority teams, the task of narrowing the gender gap in performance remains a challenge. Further work is needed to explore the tensions and benefits of working with the opposite gender.

Biodegradable poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone-co-L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PCLA-b-PEG) copolymers were synthesized via solution polymerization by varying the feed composition of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone ($\varepsilon$-CL) and L-lactide (LLA) ($\varepsilon$-CL: LLA= 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0: 10). The feed ratio based on weight is in accordance with the copolymer composition except for the case of $\varepsilon$-CL: LLA=3:7 (C3L7), which was verified by $^1H$-NMR. Two different approaches were used for the exceptional case, which is an extension of the reaction time or the sequential introduction of the monomer. A copolymer composition of $\varepsilon$-CL: LLA=3:7 could be obtained in either case. The chemical microstructure of PCLA-b-PEG was determined using the $^{13}C$-NMR spectra and the effect of the sequential structure on the thermal properties and crystallinity were examined. Despite the same composition ratio of the copolymer, the microstructure can differ according to the reaction conditions.
