Despite dynamical retinal image changes caused by pursuit eye movements, we usually perceive the stable spatial properties of the environment suite successfully Helmholtz and his followers have suggested that the visual system coordinates the retinal and extraretinal eye position information to represent the spatial properties of the environment. However. there have been a significant amount of researches showing that this kind of mechanism may not operate perfectly, and the pursuit eye movement employed in those researches were limited to conjugate eye movements. When an observer tracks an object moving away from the observer with his/her eyes. the two eyes rotate in opposite direction. and this kind of disjunctive eye movement may produce undesirable binocular disparities for the objects in the background. The present study examined whether the visual system compensated for the undesirable binocular disparities caused by disjunctive eye movements with extraretinal eye position information. Although the target object was presented frontoparellely to the subjects. the subjects reported that the object was slanted toward (or alway from) them in consistent with the undesirable binocular disparities produced by the disjunctive eye movements. These results imply that the visual system may not perfectly compensate for the undesirable binocular disparities with extraretinal eye position information.

By prosperous condition of construction economy in the early 90s in korea, we needed a lot of the qualified professional engineers(PE) to manage the construction site. In order to meet the high demand of P.E., government has established the admitted engineer system(AES) which is given to admitted engineer who do not take the written exam but have equivalent working experience in 1995. However, since 2000, while professional engineer's shortage has been resolved, the opposite situation has occurred that is serious over-supply of construction engineers. Thus, government announced that will abolish the admitted engineer systems as recognized existent admitted engineers. However, Professional Engineers institution is insisting that must not recognize existent admitted engineer. From this point of view, it is critical to make the supply-demand forecast systems as a derivative approach of system dynamics also, that is useful in comparing the argument between government and Professional Engineers institution. This paper describes about qualified engineer's supply change by admitted engineer system abrogation and suggests the idea to regulate the supply and demand with the improvement of the regal system.

This study investigates differential impacts of the positive and negative content and the interaction with pacing, as a structural feature, on information processing while watching televised video clips with moderately intensive emotional tone. College participants watched six positive messages and six negative video clips lasting approximately 60 seconds. Heart rate was used to index attention and skin conductance was used to measure arousal. After all of the stimuli were shown, the participants performed the free recall questionnaire. The result demonstrates, first, positivity superiority on attention in which participants' heart rates were slower during positive content compared to during negative content. Secondly, negativity superiority was shown on free recall memory as participants remembered positive content better than did negative content. The result also manifests the interaction of emotional valence and pacing as the effects of pacing were less for the negatively emotional content compared to those for the positively emotional content. It is suggested that future studies should examine further about the differential and independent functions of positive and negative contents on information processing and the potential interaction with formal features.

자발형성법으로 InP (001) 기판에 성장한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점(QDs: quantum dots)의 광학적 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)와 TRPL (time-resolved PL)을 이용하여 분석하였다. InAs QDs 시료는 single layer InAs QDs (QD1)과 7-stacked InAs QDs (QD2)를 사용하였다. 두 시료 모두 저온 (10 K)에서 1,320 nm에서 PL 피크가 나타나고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 PL 피크는 적색편이 (red-shift)를 보였다. 양자점의 온도를 10 K에서 300 K까지 증가하였을 때 QD1은 178 nm 적색편이 하였으며, PL 스펙트럼 폭은 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 QD2는 264 nm 적색편이를 보였으며 PL 스펙트럼의 폭은 QD1 시료와 반대로 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. QD2의 아주 넓은 PL 스펙트럼 폭과 매우 큰 적색편이는 InAs 양자점 크기의 변화가 QD1에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문이다. QD2의 경우 InAs 층수(layer number)가 증가함에 따라 InAs QD의 크기가 점차 증가하므로 QD 크기의 변화가 single layer인 QD1 시료보다 훨씬 크다. QD1의 PL 소멸은 파장이 증가함에 따라 점차 느려지다가 PL 피크 근처에서 가장 느린 소멸 곡선을 보이고, 파장이 더 증가하였을 때 PL 소멸은 점차 빠르게 소멸하였다. 그러나 QD2의 PL 소멸곡선은 파장이 증가함에 따라 점차 빠르게 소멸하였다. 이것은 QD2는 양자점 크기의 변화가 매우 크기 때문에 (lateral size=18~29 nm, height=2.8~5.9 nm) 방출파장이 증가함에 따라 양자점 사이의 파동함수의 겹침이 증가하여 캐리어의 이완이 증가하기 때문으로 설명된다. 온도에 따른 TRPL 결과는 두 시료 모두 10 K에서 150 K 까지는 소멸시간이 증가하였고, 150 K 이후부터는 소멸시간이 감소하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 소멸시간이 증가하는 것은 양자점에서 장벽과 WL (wetting layer)로 운반자(carrier)의 이동, 양자점들 사이에 열에 의해 유도된 운반자의 재분배 등으로 인한 발광 재결합으로 설명할 수 있다. 150 K 이상에서 소멸시간이 감소하는 것은 열적효과에 의한 비발광 재결합 과정에 의한 운반자의 소멸이 증가하기 때문이다. 온도에 따른 TRPL 결과는 두 시료 모두 150 K까지는 발광재결합이 우세하고, 150 K 이상에서 비발광재겹합이 우세하게 나타났다.

This study examines the performance of the successful small and medium size firms in their early stage. No sign of widespread chasm or the death valley among the sample firm is identified. More than half the sample firms had made reasonable forecast on the uncertainty of their future business before they were incorporated. Overall results of empirical studies carried out in this article allow us to assert that the difficulties experienced in the early stage are mostly manageable within the organization. This implies that the Government support for start-ups in early stage should be discouraged. Empirical investigation across different periods reveals, however, that the Government may have significant roles to play when it comes down to controlling the macroeconomic shocks.

In this study, we evaluated and analyzed the properties of polymeric transparent films used in military vehicle covers according to weathering test. Two types of polymer films (Film A and Film B) that are mostly used for military vehicle covers were selected. The weathering treatment condition and tester are described in KS K 0706, and the following weathering times were tested: 0hour, 40hours, 160hours and 320 hours. The tensile strength, elongation and thermal decomposition behavior and optical characteristics were analyzed. The tensile strength tended to decrease - increase - decrease with increasing weathering treatment time in both transparent films. The thermal decomposition temperature gradually decreased. Regarding the optical property, the light transmittance decreased and the haze tended to increase. However, film A showed almost similar optical characteristics after 160-hour weathering treatment.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the control of an agent according to a driver's social status affects user experience factors in a multi-user environment of self-driving vehicles. We conducted a user study where participants viewed four scenarios (route changing/parking x accepting/declining a fellow passenger's command) and answered a survey, followed by a post-hoc interview. Results showed that either the routing scenario or accepting a passenger's command scenario had higher usefulness (convenience, effectiveness, efficiency) than their counterparts. Regardless of the car owner's social status, participants rated AI agents more positively when they met their goals effectively. They also stressed that vehicle owners should always be in control of their agents. This study can provide guidelines for designing future autonomous driving scenarios where an agent interacts with a driver, and passengers.

Currently, as construction projects in Korea are becoming larger and more complex, the hazard rate of the construction industry is steadily increasing, contrary to other industries. This can be seen as an indication that the safety technology and safety consciousness of construction workers are insufficient compared to the improved construction technology. In addition, due to the characteristics of the construction industry based on manpower, most accidents appear in conventional forms such as fall and trip due to human errors. Therefore, analyzing the relationship between the characteristics of human resources and accidents and establishing detailed safety plans is an essential part of reducing construction accidents. In this study, a correlation analysis was conducted using 62,805 cases of construction accident cases over 3 years to derive the characteristics of accident occurrence focusing on the age of workers. As a result of the analysis, the relationship between the age of workers and the frequency and severity of accidents for each accident type was derived, focusing on the top 10 accident types.

The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of cyber community participants on reconciliation of divorced couple and find reasons for pros and cons concerning reconciliation after divorce. The data were collected through searching for website or Internet cafe related to 'reconciliation after divorce' on Internet. The contents of 7 cases for asking for advice on reuniting and opinions of cyber community participants on them were analyzed. Cyber community participants expressed their approval of divorced couple's reuniting for following reasons: 'strong motive for reunion', 'sexual relation with ex-partner', 'parental responsibility', 'regarding reconciliation as a better choice than remarriage', 'regarding as a good choice for child' etc. But cyber community members were opposed to divorced couple's reuniting for following reasons: 'doubt about real intention to reuniting', 'no self-reflection on previous marriage and ex-spouse', 'concern for recurrence of former marital conflict', 'reuniting only for child not for couple', 'no prior settlement of former marital conflict', 'no forgiveness and tolerance for ex-spouse', 'no reflection and change', 'no effort on ex-spouse's side' etc. Though these results were restrictive, this study identified issues surrounding reconciliation after divorce through asking and giving advices by anonymous members on cyberspace. These findings implied that we should take more interest in reconciliation as an realistic alternative marriage pattern after divorce and consider what is important to successful reuniting after divorce.

In this study, the influence of the CEOs' characteristics on the technology innovation performances of IT venture companies was analyzed. The relation between business performance and the characteristics of CEOs has been dealt with in earlier studies, but most paid attention to financial perspective, and few of these focused on the influence of managers on technology innovation. On the other hand, most of the studies related to the role of managers in technology innovation mainly focused on R&D investment and research infrastructure but did not delve on the characteristics of them in an in-depth way. In this study, the characteristics of CEOs and their technology innovation performances were empirically analyzed based on the results of a recently conducted survey on the IT venture companies. In the analytical aspect, a negative binominal model was applied to solve the over-dispersion problem that often appears in the count variable analysis. As a result, it was found that major, work type, and work experience, among managers' characteristics, have significant influences on managers' technology innovation performances, along with the company's innovation capacity, technological competitiveness, market competition, and support from the government.
