As users environments change, users primary needs for homepages also change more complicatedly. Today, users do not only want usability for homepages, but also to feel appropriate emotional experiences. Despite users needs, users do not always experience appropriate emotions that are conveyed by designers through homepage. I In this research paper, we analyzed the related factors with the emotional quality, which means the degree that users feel target emotions intended by designers. For analyzing factors related with the emotional quality, three hypotheses were verified; the factor of an emotion, the factor of users and the factor of designers. As the factor of emotions, the first hypothesis is that unclear emotional dimensions in users minds are related with the emotional quality. The second hypothesis, as the factor of users, is that the diversity of users experiences by same homepage is related with the emotional quality. The third hypothesis, as the factor of designers, is that the appropriate selection of design elements is related with the emotional quality. In the previous research, we selected the basic 13 emotional dimensions and 30 representative emotional words based on the statistical results and evaluations by professional designers. For this research, we conducted an experiment and user survey. In the experiment, we asked 30 designers to design homepages focusing on the typical emotion that was presented by a researcher. Based on the designing process and user evaluation, we performed statistical analyses: ANOVA with Tukey post hoc method and Factor Analysis. We found the discrepancy between the emotions that designers intend and the actual emotions that users experienced from homepages. From the result of analysis, we know that the factor of users and the factor of designers related with the emotional qualities, but the factor of emotions did not. The definiteness of emotions did not relate with the emotional quality. However, the diversity of emotions that users feel seeing the same homepages and design elements that designers chose for conveying target emotion related with the emotional quality.

This paper describes a seismic analysis of chemical pump using automated mesh generation system. The use of an automated analysis system, involving FE codes together with CAD systems and FE pre- and post-processors, has provided an important step towards shortening the design process and structural optimization. The FE model, which is a FE mesh accompanied with the analysis condition, is automatically converted from the analysis model. The FE models are then automatically analyzed using the FE analysis code. This integrated FE simulation system is applied to an analysis of three-dimensional complex solid structures such as a chemical pump.

Collective intelligence is related to several areas such as sociology, business administration, political science, and computer science. This paper can be classified as a product of social engineering of the era of liberal arts and science convergence, fusion, consilience. Members today have higher need for self-actualization and contribution. As the business is changing fast and getting more complicated, a mechanism of natural science is necessary in social organization. The mechanisms of collective intelligence are composed of divergence process and convergence process. And the seven steps were designed that the first letter of each steps leads to 'PROCESS'. When implemented by applying the procedures that reflect the opinions of members throughout this paper, there are members who participated in the decision-making process will contribute to actively participate in the decision when to run, and specific tools and techniques in online communities are for future studies.

유역 내 수문학적 조건은 변화하게 되고 이러한 변화에 대처해야만 하는 유역관리자는 적절한 수자원의 운용에 어려움을 느끼게 된다. 이러한 수문학적 조건 변화는 갑작스런 인구증가, 산업발전 등에 의해서도 발생될 수 있으며, 이 경우 용수공급, 수력발전, 그리고 환경용수 등 서로 상충되는 이해관계를 조정하여 물이용의 효율성 극대화하는 범 유역 단위의 수자원 평가 및 배분이 고려되어야 한다. 더불어 정치적, 경제적, 그리고 환경목적에 부합된 새로운 수자원 개발을 위해서도 지속적인 수자원 통합관리를 위한 의사결정지원시스템은 매우 중요하다. 복잡하고 다양한 요구를 만족하기 위해서는 유역관리 대상을 통합 관리할 수 있는 효과적인 운영 도구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 장기 수자원계획시 댐군의 연계운영을 위한 물수지분석 모형으로 KModSim 모형을 선정하고, 이에 대한 댐군의 연계운영 효과를 비교 및 평가를 수행하고자 한다. KModSim 모형은 수자원배분에 관련된 물리적, 수문학적, 제도적, 그리고 행정적인 요구들을 동시에 만족하도록 디자인된 범용 우선순위 목적 선형최적화 모형으로, 조절점 및 저수지조작에 대한 우선순위를 지정할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 reservoir balancing 방법을 통하여 저수지별로 용수공급 분담률을 지정할 수 있어 보다 현실에 가까운 연계운영이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 의사결정 지원 모형들 중 네트워크 알고리즘을 이용하는 KModSim 모형을 이용하여 낙동강권역에 대한 수자원평가시 댐간 연계운영을 하였을 경우와 하지 않았을 경우를 모두 수행하여 비교 분석함으로써 급속히 변화하고 있는 수자원 이용환경에서 보다 합리적인 댐군의 연계운영 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study examined the differences in a searcher's mental states of a complex information search and retrieval task during information search process between the two groups: participants who were exposed to mental demand manipulation and those not exposed. Data from the experiments and questionnaires were analyzed. Based on qualitative approach and quantitative analyses, the results indicated that the participants exposed to mental demand required more thoughts; addressed negative emotions more often; reduced a searcher's efforts; and interrupted search performance than those not exposed. These results suggest that mental demand contributed to a searcher's perceived thought, emotion, effort, and performance, although these mental states differed in relative contribution of information search process. Significant differences were found between the two groups with respect to the component of mental demand, performance, and frustration of the NASA-TLX subjective cognitive load. These results have implications for search user interface design and information search systems among others.

This paper presents a real-time hand gesture recognition approach for controlling a computer. We define hand gestures as continuous hand postures and their movements for easy expression of various gestures and propose a Two-layered Bayesian Network (TBN) to recognize those gestures. The proposed method can compensate an incorrectly recognized hand posture and its location via the preceding and following information. In order to vertify the usefulness of the proposed method, we implemented a Virtual Mouse interface, the gesture-based interface of a physical mouse device. In experiments, the proposed method showed a recognition rate of 94.8% and 88.1% for a simple and cluttered background, respectively. This outperforms the previous HMM-based method, which had results of 92.4% and 83.3%, respectively, under the same conditions.

신축성 디바이스는 다양한 디자인을 적용할 수 있고 형태에 대한 제약을 최소화 할 수 있어 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 신축성 디바이스의 핵심인 신축 전극에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 물결무늬나 코일 형태의 금속 전극, 탄소 소재를 사용한 전극, 하이드로젤 전극 등이 연구되었다. 하지만 이러한 방법들은 공정과정이 복잡하거나, 변형시 전기적 저항 변화가 크다. 또한 단일 소재를 활용한 신축성 전극은 물질적인 한계로 인하여 신축성을 향상시키는 데 한계가 있다. 신축 전극에 많이 사용되는 은 나노와이어는 용액에 분산되어 있어 공정이 쉽고, 좋은 전기적 특성을 가지는 소재이다. 은 나노와이어는 네트워크 형태로 얽혀있어 신축성 있는 배선의 재료로써 좋은 역할을 할 것으로 기대하지만, 은 나노 와이어만 사용하여 제작한 배선은 늘렸을 때 나노와이어들 간의 접촉 불량으로 저항이 증가한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 배선을 형성하고 있는 금속 나노소재 간 전기적 접촉을 향상시키기 위해 은 나노와이어와 은 나노입자를 섞어 하이브리드 잉크를 제작하여 전극을 형성했다. 하이브리드 잉크로 제작한 전극을 신축성 있는 고분자에 함입하여 신축률에 따른 저항을 평가했다. $175^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 전극을 5% 늘렸을 때, 단일 소재인 은 나노와이어나 은 나노입자만을 사용한 경우는 전극이 끊어지거나 저항이 175%나 증가했지만, 하이브리드 잉크를 사용했을 때는 16.5% 증가했다.

The application of Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool to rehabilitative surgery of the hand is a new field of endeavor. It is considered that there are currently no existing systems designed to assist the orthopedic surgeon in planning complex procedures such as tendon transfer operations. Most tendon transfer operations are performed by surgeons on the basis of knowledge and experience gained through years of practice. However, with the help of this computer graphics-based CAD tool for planning tendon paths, the planning and the evaluation for the best operation on patients' hands also may be possible. The purpose of this study was to model kinematically the structure of the hand and design a prototype tendon path planning tool with a standard computer graphics library, in order for surgeons to perform tendon transfer surgery more objectively and quantitatively.

Every year, traffic accidents and traffic congestion have been rapidly increasing, Although the roadway design and signal system have been improved to relieve traffic accidents, traffic casualties and property damage do not decrease. This paper develops a real-time traffic accident detection and analysis system (RTADAS): In the proposed system, we aim to precisely detect traffic accidents at different design and flow of intersections, However, because the data collected from intersections have uncertainty and complicated causal dependency between them, we construct probability-based networks for correct accident detection.
