With the development of informational machinery and tools in the modern industrial society, the image is expressed diversely as tools of informational transmission and artistic communication. This image is revival equipment and transmissional media in which sound and light are comprehensively formed. The image's intuitive and sensational expressivity can revive subjects and express a fiction, a reality, a nonfiction, and a virtual reality as a communication tool that has synchronicity and the medium of meaning. Because of this, the domain of the image will be gradually extended in the future, and the world of cognizance that can be detected across our living space will absorb the image diversely and react. In this context, the investigator examined what influence image media and equipments have in space as spatial equipments, based on the recognition of cerrelation among the image, space, and mankind, namely, the environmental meaning the mage and the space contain. Therefore, this study was conducted from the aspects of relationship establishment between image equipments that are ever expansive to a variety of domains and the space that accommodates the equipments. As study findings, the influences the image equipments have on space and their expressional features are presented in three aspects: 'the expressional medium of mutual synergy','metaphysical ultra-epithelial space constituent',' and 'object'. This study seems to be meaningful in that we can expect the spatial approach method by purposes and spatial layout of image structures, with this study, through analyzing the meaning of relationship between image equipments and space.

To provide sufficient sound to the hearing-impaired person(HIP) who have many difficulty in communication with others using general telephone, big amplification is needed. But big amplification can occur howling as a side effect. In this study we developed the new technique of big amplification without howling, manufactured and estimated the new hearing aid telephone. Telephone speech is divided to three frequency band, amplified respectively and fitted to HIP's hearing ability. The telephone speech frequency is monitored by counter in time domain. The counter transfers the sinusoidal sound to rectangular wave using comparator and counts the number of rectangular wave in a certain time period, that is frequency, to monitor the howling. Telephone have microphone and speaker, which are fitted in a rigid structure and frequency band of telephone sound is limited, so howling occurs in the limited frequency band. If the counter notices that howling conditions happen, microprocessor decreases quickly the gain of the related frequency band. The result of test of our new hearing aid telephone showed that we can amplifiy the sound as much as 40dB, which is meaningful level to many HIP, and make HIP increase their perception ability from 20% to 60.8% in 1 syllable test and from 28.9% to 78% in 2 syllable test.

Immersion is the key factor in determining success or failure for fictional narrative animations. It does matter to not only for the socio-economic achievements like box-office success but to the asthetical achievement, immersion is very important prerequisite character that are raised in terms of research needs. Fictional narrative animation shares the audience's immersive method with the narrative content and Virtual Reality, since animation has the character which narrates itself with the visual image format (including sound) and added the fact that 3D format which emphasizes realism compared with the recent 2D animation has been ubiquitous phenomenon. In other words, the artistic for called 'animation' is located between the view point that text has the immersive point intrinsic and oppositely, specific function of the certain media which stays extrinsic of the text enforce the participants into the immersion. In any case, the subject who experience immersion is the audience, so the most useful theory to research the phenomenon 'immersion' is Constructivism cognitive narrotologic approach which lies the peader-spectator as the centric notion and is more useful than text analysis or research on the visual effects. In this study, research and review about the studies on the audience's immersive experience would be preceded particularly aroud the constructivism theories, and examine the uniqueness and naures of the animation which makes the audience immersive.

As of April 2006, Korea had successfully invited twelve global IT R&D centers to help implement the u-IT839 strategy, but there have also been some worries about their research and collaboration performance in Korea. Although it is too early to judge the invitation outcome only after two years or less of their working, the Korean government is being advised to employ a more customized invitation strategy. In this paper, an analytic framework for the attraction of global R&D centers is developed based on the attractiveness-competitiveness matrix, and is applied empirically to the IT industry. Fourteen major IT technology categories and their sub-technological areas are classified into four strategic groups (priority group, wish group, consideration group, and hold group) along the framework via expert surveys and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. This study is expected to help the government to implement the 'select and focus' strategy in inviting global R&D centers and creating synergy effects between them by providing basic data on global R&D partnership priorities. The implications and limitations of the research and future research directions are discussed at the final section.

도로소음은 다양한 소음원에 의해 발생하며, 도로를 이용하는 사람과 도로 주변사람에게 큰 불편을 초래한다. 보다 쾌적한 환경을 원하는 현대인에게 있어 도로 소음의 경감은 중요한 환경 공해로 작용한다. 도로 소음을 줄이기 위해서는 여러 가지 방법이 있을 수 있으며, 이 중 도로 포장의 개선을 통해 도로 소음을 경감할 수 있으며, 이와 같은 포장을 저소음 포장이라고 한다. 저소음 포장은 주행하는 차량의 타이어와 노면이 마찰하면서 발생하는 소음을 최소화하기 위한 것으로 소음 발생의 메커니즘을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 저소음 포장중 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방법은 공극을 늘리는 것이다. 약 20%의 공극은 타이어와 노면 사이의 에어펌핑음을 최소화 하며, 소리를 흡수하는 역할로 약 3dB의 소음 가소 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 소음을 감소시키는 또 하나의 방법은 노면의 표면 조직을 매끈하게 하여 타이어와 노면의 충격음을 줄이는 방법이다. 노면의 평탄성을 개선하기 위해 포장에 사용되는 골재의 최대크기를 줄이는 소입경 포장을 소음 가소의 목적으로 유럽 등지에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 저소음 기능을 위해 공극률을 크게 하고 소입경 골재를 사용하는 소입경 저소음 포장의 현장 적용을 위한 배합 설계를 수행하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 최대 골재 크기는 현장 적용성과 경제성을 고려하여 10mm 골재를 사용하였으며, 수도권에서 입수한 4곳의 산지 골재를 분석하여 골재 합성 입도를 산정하였다. 10mm 저소음 포장의 골재 입도 범위는 공극률 15~18%를 목표로 하며, 이를 만족하기 위하여 배합 설계를 수행한 결과 5mm 통과 중량 백분율이 약 30%로 하는 개립도가 적당한 것으로 나타났다. 공극이 증가함에 따라 포장의 내구성 향상을 위해 사용된 고점도 바인더는 아스팔트 혼합물의 생산 및 시공온도를 증가시키게 된다. 또한 굵은골재의 비율이 높은 개립도 아스팔트 혼합물의 경우 운반과정과 포설 과정에서 온도가 빨리 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 중온 첨가제의 사용을 통해 생산 및 다짐온도를 낮추고자 하였다. 소입경 저소음 포장의 배합설계 과정은 배수성 포장의 배합설계 과정과 유사하나, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름실험의 변곡점을 기준으로 할 경우, 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률이 매우 작아 변곡점을 판단하기 어렵기 때문에 칸타브로 손실률과 흐름 손실률의 기준 만족 여부로 판별하고, 최적 아스팔트 함량은 공극률을 기준으로 산정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 중온 첨가제를 사용할 경우는 중온 첨가제로 인한 점도의 변화를 감안하여 혼합 및 다짐 온도를 결정하고 배합 설계를 수행하며, 중온 첨가제의 특성과 양에 따라 최적 아스팔트 함량이 변화하게 된다.

To investigate phytotoxic substances in Artemisia argyi, the donor plant, and their biological activities, seed germination and seedling growth of receptor plants such as Arundinella hirta, Echinochloa crus-galli, Rumex crispus and Lactuca sativa were examined at different concentrations of aqueous extracts of the donor plant. Germination of four receptor species was inhibited by the extracts, while seedling growth was decreased to a lesser degree than in the germintion test. Germination, seedling growth and dry weight growth of Achyranthes japonica grown in pot were proportionally inhibited by the extracts. Volatile substances emitted from A, argi plant caused slight inhibition in the germination and seedling growth of the receptor species. Essential oil of the plant extracted by Karlsruker's apparatus inhibited growth of microorganisms and callus growth of Pinellia ternata and Oryza sativa. The GC /MS method was employed for analysis and identification of allelochemicals from A. argyi leaves. Sixty-one chemical substances such as a-pinene, camphene, 1. 8-cineol, etc. were identified from essential oil of A. argyi. The results of this experiment on seed germination, seedling growth, microorganism culture and tissue culture indicated that naturally occurring chemical substances from A. argyi would be responsible for the growth inhibition of plants studied.

It is widely acknowledged that the human auditory system is organized tonotopically and people generally listen to sounds as a function of frequency distribution through the auditory system. However, it is still unclear how acoustic features of speech sounds are indicated to the human brain in terms of speech perception. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether two sounds with similar high-frequency characteristics in the acoustic analysis show similar results at the level of auditory brainstem. Thirty three young adults with normal hearing participated in the study. As stimuli, two Korean monosyllables (i.e., /ja/ and /cha/) and four frequencies of toneburst (i.e., 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz) were used to elicit the auditory brainstem response (ABR). Measures of monosyllable and toneburst were highly replicable and the wave V of waveform was detectable in all subjects. In the results of Pearson correlation analysis, the /ja/ syllable had a high correlation with 4000 Hz of toneburst which means that its acoustic characteristics (i.e., 3671~5384 Hz) showed the same results in the brainstem. However, the /cha/ syllable had a high correlation with 1000 and 2000 Hz of toneburst although it has acoustical distribution of 3362~5412 Hz. We concluded that there was disagreement between acoustic features and physiology outcomes at the auditory brainstem level. This finding suggests that an acoustical-perceptual mapping study is needed to scrutinize human speech perception.
