Language has a social function to communicate information. Linguists have gradually paid their attention to the function of language since the nineteen sixties, especially to the relationship of form, meaning and the function. The relationship could be more clearly grasped through disciyrse-based analysis than through sentence-based analysis. Many researches were centered on the discourse functional notion of topic. In the early 1970's the subject was defined as the grammatiocalized topic the topic as a discrete single constituent of the clause. In the late 1970's several lingusts including Givon suggerted that the topic was not an atomic, disctete entity, and that the clause could have more than one topic. The purpose of the present study is, following Givon, to study grammatical coding devices of topic and to measure the relative topic continuity/discontinuity of participant argu, ents in Korean narratives. By so doing, I would like to shed some light on effective ways of communicating information. The grammatical coding devices analyzed are the following eight structures: zero-anaphora, personal pronous, demonstrative pronouns, names, noun phrases following demonstratives, noun phrases following possessives, definite noun phrases and indefinite referentials. The narrative studied for the count was taken from the KoreanCIA chief's Testiomny:Revolution and Idol by Hyung Wook Kim. It was chosen because it was assumed that Kim's purpose in the novel was to tell a true story, which would not distort the natural use of language for literary effect. The measures taken in the analysis wre those of 'lookback', 'persistence', ambiguity'. The first of these, 'lookback', is a measure of the size of gap between the previous occurrence of a referent and its current occurence in the clause. The meausure of persistence, which is a measure of the speaker's topocal intent, reflects the topic's importance in the discourse. The third measure is a measure of ambiguity. This is necessary for assessing the disruptive effects that other topics within five previous clauses may have on topic identification. The more other topics are present within five previous clauses, the more difficult is the task of correct identification of a topic. The results of the present study show that the humanness of entities is the most powerful factior in topic continutiy in narrative discourse. The semantic roles of human arguments in narrative discourse tend to be agents or experiences. Since agents and experiences have high topicality in discourse, human entities clearly become clausal or discoursal topics. The results also show that the grammatical devices signal varying degrees of topic continuity discontinuity in continuous discourse. The more continuous a topic argument is, the less it is coded. For example, personal pronouns have the most continutiy and indefinite referentials have the least continutiy. The study strongly shows that topic continuity discontinutiy is controlled not only by grammatical devices available in the language but by socio-cultural factors and writer's intentions.

The illustrations of picture book for children transmit not only one image but also the summary and contents of the picture book by connecting images harmoniously. The images of picture book give children a variety of emotion and impression depending upon the location of image at various factors such as blank and form, texture and colors, and space feeling, etc. Therefore, the picture book for children has the continuity transmitting the flow of images by not only the contents of natural story but also uniform and rhythmical factors. The continuity of images can transmit images by visual ideas that are produced depending upon the connections of pictures between writings and picture, between images, and inside images. In such a way, children can understand the contents of story. The paper examines the continuity of the images of the picture book for children and describes correct expressions on harmonious connections of the images made based on children's individuality and ingenuity.

실시간 랜더링은 가상 공간과 사용자가 상호작용이 가능함을 말한다. 이런 실시간 랜더링 기법 중에서 옥트리는 보이지 않는 면을 검출함(Back Face Culling)에 있어서 매우 유용하다. 그러나 지형처럼 데이터가 끊임없이 이어져서 연속적이라면 사용자의 시점이 가상 공간을 벗어나 새로운 영역을 참조하려고 할 때에 옥트리는 새로운 공관을 표현함에 있어서 실시간을 지원하지 못한다. 이러한 옥트리의 공간 분할 작업을 미리 계산해서 저장하고 실시간 랜더링시에는 창조하도록 하되 전처리된 옥트리가 하나의 셀이 되어 다수의 옥트리 셀을 묶어 쿼드트리를 구성하고 카메라에 보이는 옥트리들을 결정하기 위해서 삼각형의 포함 알고리즘을 적용하여 연속적인 공간 데이터의 실시간 랜더링을 구현하였다.

The traditional Korean society has been classified as an Eastern collectivist culture, but in the flow of globalization and digitalization along with the post-Cold War era of the 1970s, Western individualistic culture and values quickly permeated the Korean younger generation. Since rapid changes occurred within a short period of time, there may be differences in cultural self-construal between generations living in the same era. Due to this, psychological problems related to emotional expression and suppression may appear differently depending on generations. Therefore, in the current study, 1,000 Korean adult men and women from their 20s to 60s were investigated for their level of independent and interdependent self-construal, alexithymia, ambivalence over emotional expression(AEE) and emotional suppression(ES). Then the relationship between the variables(self-construal and alexithymia,) and the mediating process of AEE and ES were examined. The generation of participants were divided into the industrialization cohort (birth year < 1970) and the digitalization cohort (birth year starting from 1970). Using the PROCESS macro(Hayes, 2022), we tested a serial mediation model of AEE and ES between the relative independent self-construal(RIS) and alexithymia. The results indicate that the level of alexithymia increases by the serial increase of AEE and ES when RIS decreases. Next, we examined a moderation effect of generatione on the mediation process of AEE and ES, and found that generation moderates the relationship between ES and alexithymia. That is, the effect of ES on alexithymia is significant for the digitalization cohort, while it is not significant for the industrialization cohort. The current results imply that emotion regulation strategies of Koreans have been differently developed according to prevailing cultural values in each generation, and that the negative influence of emotion suppression could be different according to the cultural background of each generation.

The differential evolution algorithm is one of the meta-heuristic techniques developed to solve the real optimization problem, which is a continuous problem space. In this study, in order to use the differential evolution algorithm to solve the traveling salesman problem, which is a discontinuous problem space, a random key representation method is applied to the differential evolution algorithm. The differential evolution algorithm searches for a real space and uses the order of the indexes of the solutions sorted in ascending order as the order of city visits to find the fitness. As a result of experimentation by applying it to the benchmark traveling salesman problems which are provided in TSPLIB, it was confirmed that the proposed differential evolution algorithm based on the random key representation method has the potential to solve the traveling salesman problems.

음함수 표면을 이용한 모델링 방법은 부드러운 곡면을 나타내기에 적합하며 날카로운 부분을 표현하기 위해서는 CSG 연산을 적용한다. 기존의 방식을 이용해서 얻은 매쉬에서는 흔히 음함수의 표면과 상당한 오차를 가지는 매쉬 첨점(vertex)을 얻거나 겹쳐지는 삼각형 또는 날카로운 부분의 표현이 안 되는 점 등의 문제가 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 타원체의 특성을 이용해서 타원체 기반 음함수 표면을 정확하게 샘플링하고 동시에 날카로운 부분을 효과적으로 표현할 수 있는 매쉬를 얻기 위한 폴리곤화 방법을 제안한다. 이러한 목표를 위해 타원체의 투사 특성과 표면 법선 벡터의 연속 특성을 이용해서 음함수 표면 위에 정확하게 위치하는 첨점(vertex)의 위치를 찾고 날카로운 부분을 효과적으로 표현하기 위해 점진적인 방법으로 정확한 첨점(vertex) 위치를 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 지금까지 약점으로 지적되어 왔던 음함수 표면 모델링의 시각화 절차를 이 방법을 통해 개선함으로써 음함수 표면 모델링 기법이 제공하는 다른 장점들을 적극 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Most of works have been performed on representation of spatiotemporal objects from various points of view. Most of them represent spatiotemporal objects using approaches from GIS, temporal databases, object-oriented databases or data type. Spatiotemporal objects can be classified as objects whose position and shape changes discretely over time, objects whose position changes continuously and objects whose shape changes continuously as well as position. Previous works on spatiotemporal model have focused on only one of them. In this paper, we propose a spatiotemporal model that can represent three types of objects in Euclidean plan. For this purpose, we represent both discrete and continuous moving objects by defining temporal model extended from valid time and by defining relationship between two consecutive versions of objects. The proposed spatiotemporal object model is based on open GIS specification so that it has compatibility with existing spatial data model.

The phase-type, PH, distribution is defined as the time to absorption into a terminal state in a continuous-time Markov chain. As the PH distribution includes family of exponential distributions, it has been widely used in stochastic models. Since the PH distribution is represented and generated by an initial probability vector and a generator matrix which is called the Markovian representation, we need to find a vector and a matrix that are consistent with given set of moments if we want simulate a PH distribution. In this paper, we propose an approach to simulate a PH distribution based on distribution function which can be obtained directly from moments. For the simulation of PH distribution of order 2, closed-form formula and streamlined procedures are given based on the Jordan decomposition and the minimal Laplace transform which is computationally more efficient than the moment matching methods for the Markovian representation. Our approach can be used more effectively than the Markovian representation in generating higher order PH distribution in queueing network simulation.

In school mathematics, the concept of continuous functions has been intuitively taught. Many researches reported that many students identified the continuity of function with the connectedness of the graphs. Several researchers proposed some ideas which are enhancing the formal aspects of the definition as alternative. We analysed the historical developments of the concept of continuous functions and drew pedagogical implications for the intuitive teaching of continuous functions from the result of analysis.
