In this paper, authors focused on the difference between successful and unsuccessful items in terms of the innovation and imitation parameters of Bass diffusion model. Each item was scraped by members directly from the minihompies they visit. Top 50 items in terms of total number of adoption are classified as successful items and the 50 items whose total number of adoption was just below the average are classified as unsuccessful items. In particular, authors are interested in investigating the role of influentials in the diffusion process. Influentials are defined as those people whose network centrality (Indegree, Outdegree, and Betweeness centrality) was larger than the mean centrality in their social network. Figure 1 shows the plots of number of scraping, cumulative scraping, indegree, outdegree and betweenness of the people who scraped the most popular item among 100 items.

아동의 언어습득 과정에서의 모방은 흔히 볼 수 있는 현상이지만 한편 인간의 독특하고 신기한 일면이기도 하다. 이 모방에 관하여 그동안 많은 연구들이 되어왔으나 그 중요성이나 역할에 대한 연구들의 결론이 모두 일치하는 것은 아니다. 본 논문에서는 이 모방현상에 대한 그 동안의 연구들을 이론별로 분류해 보고 각 이론들이 모방의 역할을 밝히기 위하여 사용해 온 연구방법, 절차들을 분석해 보았다. 행동주의와 사회학습이론에서는 언어습득에서의 모방의 역할을 특히 강조하고 있으며 이 모방의 효과를 입증하기 위하여 다른 어떤 이론보다도 훨씬 조직적인 실험연구를 해 왔다. 이와는 대조적으로, 언어 심리학적 접근에서는 언어습득에서의 생득성과 창의성을 강조하므로 모방의 역할은 중시하지 않으며, 모방의 정의를 엄격하게 규정하고 자연적인 관찰 중심의 연구를 주로 하여 언어습득에서의 모방의 역할이 미비하다는 결론을 내리고 있다. Piaget 중심의 인지발달적 접근에서는 모방을 인간의 전체 발달의 한 측면으로 보아 모방은 인지발달과 함께 점진적으로 발달되는 것으로 설명하고 있다. 특히 언어발달에서의 지연모방의 중요성을 강조하고 있으며, 대부분의 연구는 자연적인 관찰연구를 통하여 모방의 발달과정을 밝히고 있다. 언어발달에서의 모방의 역할에 대한 지금까지의 일치하지 않는 연구 결과들은 각각의 이론들이 나름대로 달리 모방을 정의하고, 언어의 다른 측면들을 다루어 왔기 때문으로 밝혀 졌다. 앞으로 언어발달이 아동의 발달 전체의 맥락 속에서 연구되어지고, 언어습득과정에서 보이는 아동들의 개인차까지도 고려되어지는 포괄적인 연구가 이루어지면 모방의 역할도 좀더 명백하고 일관성 있게 밝혀지리라 본다.

자연계에서 존재하는 다양한 생명체는 자신들의 생존과 종의 번성을 위해 효율적인 행동 규칙을 만들어 진화해 왔다. 이러한 생명체의 다양한 생존원리로부터 착안을 하여 자연계가 아닌 다른 환경에서 적용이 가능하도록 알고리즘을 만들어 적용시키는 것을 생체모방 알고리즘이라 한다. 자연계의 환경자체가 불확실한 변화가 다양하게 포함되고 있으며, 제한된 자원 환경을 어떻게 효율적으로 활용하는가의 문제가 걸려 있음으로 인하여 이러한 생체모방 알고리즘은 적용환경의 변환에 빠른 적응력을 제공할 수 있고, 자원 제약형 환경에서 안정적으로 확장성과 적응성을 제공할 수 있어서 상호 운용성 측면에서 많은 이득을 줄 수 있다. 이와 같은 생체모방 알고리즘을 네트워크의 관점에서 적용시켜 보면, 전자의 경우에는 자율적인 네트워크 구성을 용이하게 제공할 수 있음을 나타내고, 후자의 경우에는 IoT 환경과 같은 자원 제약형 환경에서의 상호 운용성을 제공할 수 있다. 이렇듯이 생체모방 알고리즘을 네트워크에 접목시켜 연구하는 것은 최근의 네트워크 분야의 연구 이슈와 상호 보완적으로 작용하여 시너지 효과를 제공할 수 있다. 자연계의 군집 현상 및 동기화 현상을 네트워크 환경에서 적용하여 사용할 수 있는 생체모방 알고리즘 기술은 다양하게 존재하고 있으며 이를 활용하는 연구를 통해 SDN(Software Defined Networking)에서의 자율제어 네트워크 구성에 접목하거나 IoT 환경과 같은 자원 제약형 환경에서의 보다 효율적인 상호 연결성을 제공하는 방향으로 발전할 수 있다. 이러한 생체모방 자율제어 네트워크 환경 구현을 위해 기존의 OpenFlow 환경과 새로이 부각되는 P4: Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors 기술에 대해서 정리하여 향후 생체모방 자율제어 네트워크 구현 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the degree of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction. In addition the present study aims to investigate the moderating role of the self esteem and public self in the relationship between mimetic purchase and product satisfaction. Taken together, hypothesis 1 is as in the following. H1 : As the degree of mimetic purchase increases, product satisfaction will increase. To reveal the moderating role of the self esteem and public self in this path, 2 research hypotheses are derived as follows: H2 : The effect of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction is moderated by self esteem. H3 : The effect of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction is moderated by public self. Results from an empirical study showed that as the degree of mimetic purchase increases, product satisfaction increase. Thus, H1 is fully supported. And the results showed that the first interaction effect(H2) between the mimetic purchase and the self esteem is significant. Thus, H2 is also supported. But the second interaction effect(H3) has been shown to be not significant.

Previous studies indicate that information and communication technology (ICT) adoption is affected by innovation influence such as usefulness, ease of use and self-efficacy. Most of these studies, how-ever, bypassed imitation influence such as subjective norms, word-of-mouth, and advertising, specifically, interactive innovation having critical mass in technology acceptance research. Thus, this study focuses to investigate imitation influence in individual adoption of mobile communication technology. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the causal relationships between initial acceptance and the intention to use in terms of a holistic approach. The results of this study show that there is an imitation influence including word-of-mouth and subjective norms, from the prior adopters to potential adopters, and mass advertising through TV or news-paper commercials in the ICT diffusion process. In addition, this imitation influence also stimulates innovation influence such as perceived usefulness. Finally, this study provides a set of guidelines to mobile communication equipment manufacturers and ICT vendors in developing effective strategies for technology diffusion.

The effect of aspect ratio (AR) on the aerodynamic characteristics of a flapping wing was examined to analyze the design parameters of an insect-based MAV. The experimental model constructed with 4-bar linkages was operated in a water tank with the condition of a low Reynolds number. A water-proof micro-force load cell was fabricated and installed at the root of the wing which is made of a plexiglas. The wing shapes were based on the planform of a fruit fly wing. The ARs selected were 1.87, 3.74 and 7.48 and the Reynolds number was fixed at $10^4$. For AR=1.87 and 3.74, distinct lift peaks which indicate unsteady effects such as 'wake-capture' were observed at the moment of the start of the wing-stroke. However, for AR=7.48, no unsteady effects were observed. These phenomena were also observed in the delayed rotation case. The results indicate that a larger AR provides better aerodynamic performance for the insect-based flapping wing which can be applied in MAV designs.

Mobile telecom markets have dramatically increased in the last decade due to a remarkable subscriber base growth. The diffusion patterns of the services are a major concern for mobile carriers preparing those new services. We assume that the diffusion patterns of those services will be similar to those of previous mobile services, and discovering the diffusion patterns of those services is an essential task of mobile carriers for preparing the next mobile services. This study attempts to classify some groups which show similar diffusion patterns of mobile services. Using a traditional diffusion model, this study estimates diffusion patterns of twenty five western European countries. The estimation is based on the monthly penetration ratio of those countries from 1993 to 2004. Based on the estimation, the cluster analysis discovers that there are two different countries groups in terms of mobile diffusion pattern: high imitation countries and low imitation countries. The critical point for classifying the two groups in terms of imitation effect was 0.90. The results provide the basis for developing a causal relationship model which explains the different diffusion pattern of mobile services and planning new networks for the advanced mobile services.

This paper has studied the lotus effect of the biomimetic engineering that is inspired from the nature. The biomimetic engineering has been improved with the nanotechnology. This paper has observed the hydrophobic property of the surface of the lotus leaf by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The nano-scale of the hydrophobic lotus leaves are maximized the surface tension of water. The general grass leaf has been compared with the lotus leaf through the SEM and AFM - in the viewpoint of the 2D and 3D morphology. Also, The pre-existing of the hydrophobic theory was investigated and compared with the experimental observations for the lotus leaf.
