In this study we examined the context effects in reading Hangul (Korean alphabets) in normal and low vision, using the two different reading techniques, self-paced reading (Experiment 1) and rapid serial visual presentation (Experiment 2). We compared the reading speed of participants with normal or low vision in sentences vs. randomly ordered words. The results from both experiments showed that the reading speed of participants with low vision slowed significantly relative to those with normal vision. However, the patterns in the size of context effects were different in the two experiments. The context effects were larger in low vision than in normal vision in self-paced reading, but they were smaller in low vision than in normal vision in RSVP. This result indicates that context may make a greater contribution for readers with low vision than for readers with normal vision when sufficient time is allowed to read; in contrary, its contribution is smaller for readers with low vision than for readers with normal vision when there is time limitation for reading.

CALS체계에서는 한 제품의 주문으로부터 생산과 사후 관리에 이르는 전수명주기를 통합관리해야하므로 화상과 음성을 포함한 멀티미디어 정보를 교환할 수 있어야 한다. 더욱이 기존의 산업사회에서는 순차적 공정에 따른 생산방식을 적용해 왔으나, 향후 미래사회에서는 민첩한 지능형 가상기업만이 생산경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는 생산형태의 변화가 예상되어 경쟁력있는 기업모형의 변화가 뒤따를 것이며, 기업경쟁력의 우선순위는 한 품목의 생산에 소요되는 시간과 비용, 그리고 소비자의 성향에 맞는 우수한 품질이 고려된 동시공정 체제를 갖추는 것이 매우 중요한 과제로 대두될 것이다. 이러한 CALS의 성공적인 구현을 위한 기본적인 주요 요소기술은 기업업무처리 변화에 다른 업무공정의 표준화, 통합데이타베이스를 이용한 동시공정의 설계, 그리고 기업내.외의 모든 거래를 디지털 방식으로 송.수신하는 전자상거래로 대별할 수 있으며, 그중 동시공정은 기술적으로 매우 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 기업내의 부서 상호간은 물론 원자재의 수급에 참여하거나 생산에 공동으로 참여하는 모든 기업들 간에 상호 정보교환이 동시에 발생할 수 있어야 하며, 이러한 다양한 정보공유자로부터 얻어지는 모든 자료를 통합관리하여 의사결정자가 신속하고 정확한 판단을 할수 있도록 지원체계를 만들어야한다. 본 연구는 이러한 CALS체계에서 동시공정 작업이 신속하게 성공적으로 수행될 수 있도록 분산된 정보들에 대한 신속한 의사결정을 지원하는 관리자에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The present study examined the effect of stimulus contrast and color on detection of a target embedded in streams of letters. In Experiment 1, each trial displayed four rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) streams of letters (i.e., multi-RSVP), and each stream occupied one of four different locations. Each frame in the RSVP stream had four white distractors at the locations except one frame where a dim grey target was displayed at a location with three white distractors at the remaining locations. In the low-visibility target condition, the target's grey color was slightly darker than the background grey whereas much dimmer in the high-visibility condition. Participants were asked to report presence of a predesignated target as quickly and accurately as possible upon its detection in each trial, and their target detection turned out more accurate and quicker in the high-visibility than the low-visibility condition. In Experiment 2, the same RSVP displays and task as Experiment were used, but the grey target letters in the high-visibility condition were replaced with those of distinct chromatic colors. Participants detected target presence more accurately in the high-visibility condition, but the reaction time did not differ between the visibility conditions. The results indicate that higher stimulus contrast as well as distinct color can improve perception of a target stimulus displayed among visually-demanding background, but also suggest that stimulus contrast may play a more substantial role for such perceptual improvement.

The aims of this study were to consist of the eccentric viewing training software based on Korean and to examine the effects on reading speed. The program was used the Korean stimuli by rapid serial visual presentation. Single-subject A-B-A' research design for 2 normally-sighted young adults was used to examine the effect. The reading speed data on short-sentence of participants showed a statistically significant result, as both data from the intervention period and post-training baseline period deviated more than 2 standard deviations from the pre-training baseline period. Through this study, we suggested that eccentric viewing training software based on Korean characters stimulation would allow clinician in Korea to improve reading skills of low vision individuals with central scotomas.

A potential advantage of computer-based education is individualized instruction. In this regard, issues regarding how to evaluate individual learners fast and accurately in order to implement customized instruction program and to open education are raised. In this study, we suggest through a simulation study a way to reach an optimal decision by complementing the insufficient point of the way of the decision of the existing SPRT(Sequential Probability Ratio Testing) in which the number of questions in a test decreases while decision on pass or fail is relatively exact. For the purpose, the data of the examinees obtained from actual tests were used in this study and we present that simulation to verify the accuracy of decision and Multilevel SPRT decision standard for initial set point for optimal SPRT decision and evaluate the ground of the same through simulation.

Objectives : Trauma patients have attentional bias which enforces traumatic memories and causes cognitive errors. Understanding of such selective attention may explain many aspects of the posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) symptoms. Methods : We used the rapid serial visual presentation(RSVP) method to verify attentional blink in burn patients with PTSD. International affective picture system(IAPS) was used as stimuli and distracters. In the 'neutral test', patients have been presented series of pictures with human face picture as target stimuli. Each picture had 100ms interval. However the distance between target facial pictures was randomized and recognition of second facial picture accuracy was measured. In the 'stress test', the first target was stress picture which arouses patient emotions instead of the facial picture. Neutral and Stress tests were done with seven PTSD patients and 20 controls. In '85ms test' the interval was reduced to 85ms. The accuracy of recognition of second target facial picture was rated in all three tests. Eighty-five ms study was done with eighteen PTSD patients. Results : Attentional blinks were observed in 100-400ms of RSVP. PTSD patients showed increased recognition rate in the 'stress test' compared with the 'neutral test'. When presentation interval was decreased to 85 ms, PTSD patient showed decrease of attentional blink effect when target facial picture interval was 170ms. Conclusion : We found attentional blink effect could be affected by stress stimulus in burn patients. And attentional blink may be affected by stimulus interval and the character of stimulus. There may be some other specific mechanism related with selective attention in attentional blink especially with facial picture processing.

Attentional blink (AB) refers to the phenomena where conscious report for a target (T2) subsequent to the first target (T1) in a stream of items under rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) becomes difficult if the T2 follows no later than 500ms after the T1. The present study examined the effect of T1 visibility on T2 AB strength according to the bottleneck account proposing that the amount of allocated resources for T1 memory consolidation determines the strength of AB against T2. In the low-visibility condition, the T1 had a gray color for a low stimulus contrast against the black background whereas had a bright and saturated color in the high-visibility condition. In both visibility conditions, the T1 was also highly distinct from the remaining distractors. A multi-RSVP method was also used for increasing location uncertainty of the targets supposedly consuming on average attentional resources for the targets. Two experiments revealed that AB strength was more intense in the low-visibility than high-visibility condition, and the pattern of difference went more pronounced if T2 visibility was improved. The results indicate that T1 visibility can affect more strongly when attentional resources are relatively lacking for resolving the T1 bottleneck, and support for the bottleneck account proposing that the level of T1's visibility can determine the intensity of the T1 bottleneck.

In this paper, we propose an effective method to convert and construct the MEDLINE, the world's largest biomedical bibliographic database, into linked data. To do this, we first derive the appropriate RDF schema by analyzing the MEDLINE record structure in detail, and convert each record into a valid RDF file in the derived schema. We apply the dual batch registration method to streamline the subject URI duplication checking procedure when merging all RDF files in the converted record unit and storing it in a single RDF triple storage. By applying this method, the number of RDF triple storage accesses for the subject URI duplication is reduced from 26,597,850 to 2,400, compared with the sequential configuration of linked data in units of RDF files. Therefore, it is expected that the result of this study will provide an important opportunity to eliminate the inefficiency in converting large volume bibliographic record sets into linked data, and to secure promptness and timeliness.

In order to minimize the casualties and damages from natural disasters, local terrain and weather phenomena need to be constantly monitored. Various weather monitoring systems are designed to collect and monitor the weather information for disaster prevention. Nowadays, wireless sensor networks have been widely used to transmit the weather information and collected by the base station at a regular interval. In this paper, disaster prevention monitoring system for efficient data transfer of weather information such as temperature, humidity and illumination are designed. Weather information is able to burst the data transmission based on storage of flash memory. Telosb sensor node are used in the research; programmed by nesC language used by TinyOS.
