This paper proposed an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based biomimetic communication method using a dolphin whistle which covertly transmits communication signals to allies. The proposed method divides the dolphin whistle into several time slots corresponding to a number of OFDM symbols, and modulates the communication signal by mapping differential phase shift keying (DPSK) symbols into subcarriers that have the frequency bands of the dolphin whistle in each slot. The advantages of the proposed method are as follows: In the conventional Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) and Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) based biomimetic communication methods, the discontinuity of the frequency contour is large, but the proposed method can reduce the discontinuity. Even if the modulation order is increased, the degradation of the mimicking performance is small. The computer simulations demonstrate that the Bit Error Rate (BER) and mimicking performance of the proposed method are better performance than those of the conventional CSS and FSK.

남의 상품 모방의 마술사인 일본은 자원이라곤 물과 태양 그리고 국민의 두뇌 뿐이면서도 지난해 무역흑자 7백70억 달라를 기록했고 선진국의 기초연구 성과를 재빨리 그리고 교묘하게 응용해서 상품화하여 달러박스화 했다. 일본의 도요레욘은 나일론 기술도입으로 소니는 트랜지스터 라디오로, 세이코는 쿼츠손목시계로 세계시장을 주름잡았다. 우리도 기술시대를 맞아 새로운 상품개발로 IMF난국을 하루속히 극복해야겠다.

누에는 4천8백년이나 거슬러 올라간 옛날부터 뽕나무잎의 셀룰로오스를 소화하여 가느다란 명주실을 토해냈다. 유럽의 과학자들은 금세기 초 실크를 모방한 인조견사를 얻어냈고 현대에 이르러서는 석탄ㆍ물과 공기로부터 나일론을 얻었다. 섬유의 발달은 자연모방으로부터 이루어져 최근에는 색깔이 때때로 변하는 카멜레온 섬유가 등장하여 패션소재로 인기를 끌고 있다.

Feature Selection is one of methods to improve the classification accuracy of data in the field of machine learning. Many feature selection algorithms have been proposed and discussed for years. However, the problem of finding the optimal feature subset from full data still remains to be a difficult problem. Bio-inspired algorithms are well-known evolutionary algorithms based on the principles of behavior of organisms, and very useful methods to find the optimal solution in optimization problems. Bio-inspired algorithms are also used in the field of feature selection problems. So in this paper we proposed new improved bio-inspired algorithms for feature selection. We used well-known bio-inspired algorithms, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), to find the optimal subset of features that shows the best performance in classification accuracy. In addition, we modified the bio-inspired algorithms considering the prior importance (prior relevance) of each feature. We chose the mRMR method, which can measure the goodness of single feature, to set the prior importance of each feature. We modified the evolution operators of GA and PSO by using the prior importance of each feature. We verified the performance of the proposed methods by experiment with datasets. Feature selection methods using GA and PSO produced better performances in terms of the classification accuracy. The modified method with the prior importance demonstrated improved performances in terms of the evolution speed and the classification accuracy.

Maritime transportation circumstance is changing rapidly in accordance with the increase of cargo volume between countries and increase of marine leisure activities by improvement of quality of life. And the circumstance for ship operation is also changing due to aging of seafarers and increasing of foreign seafarers. To cope with such changes in maritime environment well, it requires higher safety management skills from shipping companies, the main subject in charge of the safety matter. In this paper, we analyzed domestic and foreign similar system, and then applied imitation strategies for introduction of an unific evaluation and management system that was consist of marine accidents, port state control, ISM Code and so on from shipping companies. We defined that the imitation industry and system are converted accident ration of construction industry and traffic safety excellence company of road transportation, and then extracted relevant law, evaluation index, incentive system as a imitation subject. We also proposed scheme that introduction of basis law, and evaluation tool with marine accidents ratio, port state control & ism code result, and incentives such as immunity of safety inspection or reduction of commission for introduction of company's safety management level evaluation system. Finally, we proposed the imitation timing and plan in stages for system's sustainable development through the prompt introduction and continuous enforcement.

The discovery of the mirror neuron system (MNS) is one of the most important neuroscientific achievements in the 20th century. Some researchers had reported that MNS dysfunction was discovered in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Finally, the 'broken mirror' theory of ASD was announced in the mid 2000's. According to this theory, ASD cannot simulate the mind and behavior of others due to MNS dysfunction; therefore, they cannot imitate the behaviors and empathized with the mind of others. However, ASD does not always show imitation problems. The researchers who have criticized the 'broken mirror' theory proposed the 'social top-down response modulation (STORM)' theory. On STORM theory, the medial prefrontal cortex or temporo-parietal junction, brain areas related with mentalising, might modulate MNS according to social context. We compared the strengths and weaknesses of each theory.

Many users actively create and share digital contents in a variety of social media platforms. Social media users have become accustomed to posting or uploading their daily routines, and generating their contents by imitating others' contents or by creating their own unique contents on the basis of their creativity. Thus, this paper explores the relationship between individual creativity, imitation and creative behavior in using social media. In addition, the study demonstrates the moderating effect of individual characteristics such as age and educational level on the relationship between creativity and imitation. We conducted a three-month survey of 564 individuals using social media services and the results were used for hypotheses testing. The study results are summarized as follows. Firstly, creativity has a significant and positive impact on imitation, but not a direct impact on creative behavior. Secondly, the moderating effect of individual characteristics between creativity and imitation is not statistically significant. Based on these findings, this study presents practical and academic implications of the research.
