This dissertation is aimed to investigate the reason why a contextualization is needed to help the meaningful teaching-learning concerning multiplications and divisions of fractions, the way to make the contextualization possible, and the methods which enable us to use it effectively. For this reason, this study intends to examine the differences of situations multiplying or dividing of fractions comparing to that of natural numbers, to recognize the changes in units by contextualization of multiplication of fractions, the context is set which helps to understand the role of operator that is a multiplier. As for the contextualization of division of fractions, the measurement division would have the left quantity if the quotient is discrete quantity, while the quotient of the measurement division should be presented as fractions if it is continuous quantity. The context of partitive division is connected with partitive division of natural number and 3 effective learning steps of formalization from division of natural number to division of fraction are presented. This research is expected to help teachers and students to acquire meaningful algorithm in the process of teaching and learning.

HMM-based Text-to-Speech systems generally utilize context dependent tri-phone units from a large corpus speech DB to enhance the synthetic speech. To downsize a large corpus speech DB, acoustically similar tri-phone units are clustered based on the decision tree using context dependent information. Context dependent information includes phoneme sequence as well as prosodic information because the naturalness of synthetic speech highly depends on the prosody such as pause, intonation pattern, and segmental duration. However, if the prosodic information was complicated, many context dependent phonemes would have no examples in the training data, and clustering would provide a smoothed feature which will generate unnatural synthetic speech. In this paper, instead of complicate prosodic information we propose a simple three prosodic boundary types and decision tree questions that use rising tone, falling tone, and monotonic tone to improve naturalness. Experimental results show that our proposed method can improve naturalness of a HMM-based Korean TTS and get high MOS in the perception test.

This study examines the diversity of garden culture in the Joseon Dynasty focusing on genre painting. Genre painting gives us insight into the various ways of enjoying the garden. The intimate activities portrayed in the painting show us about the vivid scenes of Korean garden at that time. Among the various meanings of gardens, sensual pleasure is focused on here. The garden has always been a place of pleasure for seeing, smelling, touching, meeting people and erotic flirting. Here, the oriental aesthetic idea of Pungryu is adopted to reformulate pleasure based on the traditional way of thought. Most Korean gardens in the Joseon Dynasty were understood as the place for Pungryu. Sensuality in the Korean garden associated with a high level of spiritual pleasure. In order to look closely into garden activities, genre paintings were selected and analyzed. Several characteristics were elicited. First, the garden was understood as the medium of communication through reconciling man with nature. Mediating man with nature often calls for uplifting the sense of community within groups of people. Second, the garden was featured as the place of cultural creation. Many scholars utilized the garden as a place for poetic imagination. Therefore, the garden was the locus of intellectual discourse. Third, personal retreat was one of important functions in the Korean garden. the humble attitude toward landscape such as solitude and mediation might be understood as one way of enjoying the nature. Fourth, taste, power and social relations were embedded in garden culture. Therefore, the garden was regarded as a space of distinction. Garden making was understood as one of the high class leisure activity. It was quite natural that the garden was used as a place of showing up their taste and culture. Finally, we need to reinvigorate the rich meanings of garden in contemporary practices. In-depth analysis of garden culture through the lens of genre painting gives us quite useful information in Korean garden culture.

In our present elementary mathematics curriculum, natural numbers are taught by using the a method of one-to-one correspondence or counting operation which are not related to measurement, and fractional numbers are taught by using a method which is partially related to measurement. The most serious limitation of these teaching methods is that natural numbers and fractional numbers are separated. To overcome this limitation, Dewey and Davydov insisted that the natural number and the fractional number should be taught by measurement of quantity. In this article, we suggested a method of teaching the natural number and the fractional number by measurement of quantity based on the claims of Dewey and Davydov, and compare it with our current method. In conclusion, we drew some educational implications of teaching the natural number and the fractional number by measurement of quantity as follows. First, the concepts of the natural number and the fractional number evolve from measurement of quantity. Second, the process of transition from the natural number to the fractional number became to continuous. Third, the natural number, the fractional number, and their lower categories are closely related.

최대 엔트로피 모델(maximum entropy model)은 여러 가지 자연언어 문제를 학습하는데 성공적으로 적용되어 왔지만, 두 가지의 주요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그 첫번째 문제는 해당 언어에 대한 많은 사전 지식(prior knowledge)이 필요하다는 것이고, 두번째 문제는 계산량이 너무 많다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트 단위화(text chunking)에 최대 엔트로피 모델을 적용하는 데 나타나는 이 문제점들을 해소하기 위해 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 사전 지식으로, 간단한 언어 모델로부터 쉽게 생성된 결정트리(decision tree)에서 자동적으로 만들어진 규칙을 사용한다. 따라서, 제시된 방법에서의 최대 엔트로피 모델은 결정트리를 보강하는 방법으로 간주될 수 있다. 계산론적 복잡도를 줄이기 위해서, 최대 엔트로피 모델을 학습할 때 일종의 능동 학습(active learning) 방법을 사용한다. 전체 학습 데이터가 아닌 일부분만을 사용함으로써 계산 비용은 크게 줄어 들 수 있다. 실험 결과, 제시된 방법으로 결정트리의 오류의 수가 반으로 줄었다. 대부분의 자연언어 데이터가 매우 불균형을 이루므로, 학습된 모델을 부스팅(boosting)으로 강화할 수 있다. 부스팅을 한 후 제시된 방법은 전문가에 의해 선택된 자질로 학습된 최대 엔트로피 모델보다 졸은 성능을 보이며 지금까지 보고된 기계 학습 알고리즘 중 가장 성능이 좋은 방법과 비슷한 성능을 보인다 텍스트 단위화가 일반적으로 전체 구문분석의 전 단계이고 이 단계에서의 오류가 다음 단계에서 복구될 수 없으므로 이 성능은 텍스트 단위화에서 매우 의미가 길다.

가뭄·홍수 등 수재해 대응대책 수립 측면에서 유역의 자연유출량 산정은 가장 핵심적인 사항이라 할 수 있다. 우리나라는 전국적으로 수위-유량관측소를 설치하여 실시간 유출량 모니터링을 통해 수문정보를 수집하며, 주요지점을 제외한 유역에서는 주기적으로 강우-유출모형의 매개변수 최적화를 통해 산정된 장기유출량 결과를 자연유출으로 가정하여 수자원 계획 수립시 활용하고 있다. 그러나 강우-유출모형의 최적 매개변수 추정을 위해 활용되는 관측 수문자료는 상대적으로 자료의 연한이 짧고, 계절·공간적인 특성으로 인해 매우 제한적이며, 유역의 특성을 충분히 고려하지 못해 미계측유역의 매개변수 추정시 모형의 자료에서 기인한 불확실성이 크게 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 관측자료에 대한 신뢰성이 유의하며, 공간적으로 고르게 분포된 12개 댐 유역을 대상으로 매개변수 지역화 연구를 수행하였다. SCEM-UA기법을 통해 GR4J 강우-유출모형의 매개변수를 최적화 하였으며, 매개변수와의 상관관계 및 선형회귀분석을 통해 유역특성인자를 선별하여 Copula 함수를 통해 지역화된 매개변수를 추정하였다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 제시된 방법론에 대한 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 매개변수 최적화가 수행된 유역을 미계측 유역으로 가정하여 교차검증 관점에서 적합성을 검토하였으며, 통계적으로 유의한 결과가 도출되는 것을 확인하였다.

Effects of acetylation on conformational changes of glycinin was studied using solvent perturbation, second derivative spectroscopy, near uv circular dichroism spectra and viscosity. Glycinin with purity of more than 93% was used for the experiment. Modification was carried out with acetic anhydride and glycinin with lysine residue modification of 0%, 28%, 65%, 85%, and 95% were used for the experiment. The result of solvent perturbation using some selected perturbants, such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, and dimethyl sulfoxide revealed that acetylation has caused increase In solvent accessibility of tyrosine residues from less than 40% in native protein to more than 70% for 95% acetylated glycinin. This was confirmed by second derivative spectroscopy. Near ultraviolet circular dichroism revealed that the spectra of native and acetylated glycinin were almost identical differing only in intensity and no other useful information could be derived from it. However, in the case of 95% acetylated glycinin the influence of tryptophan on the spectrum was more pronounced Specific viscosity of glycinin also increased by modification, the extent of which depended upon the degree of acetylation. These results supported that acetylation had caused globular conformation of glycinin to be expanded and denatured.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine Putnam's recent conception of ethics, and show that it gives rise to an ineluctable incoherence with his rationalism. This suggests that Putnam's philosophy has to be far more naturalized to make his new position cogent. Putnam recently has shown some explicit turn toward pragmatism a la James and Dewey under the name of "pragmatic pluralism." Putnam says that traditional ethics has presupposed some form of ontology in one way or another, which he sees is based on an unnecessary pursuit of a misleading conception of objectivity. Putnam tries to get rid of any notion of ontology in ethics, whereby we can talk about a third view which runs between traditional objectivism and nihilistic relativism. In this sense, he defines pragmatism as "fallibilism cum antiskepticism." Putnam's suggestion makes a good sense as far as it goes. However, his continuous transition toward pragmatism is critically impeded by his own adhesion to the normative conception of "reason." In this light, Putnam himself is wobbling between Kant and Dewey, just as he describes ethics is. Dewey's pragmatism does not have recourse to the very notion of reason to secure objectivity necessary to make sense of moral experience. Putnam needs to be far more naturalized to reach cogently where he espouses, and this can be done only by renouncing the normative conception of reason.

We propose a hierarchical disparity estimation algorithm with edge-preserving energy-based regularization. Initial disparity vectors are obtained from downsampled stereo images using a feature-based region-dividing disparity estimation technique. Dense disparities are estimated from these initial vectors with shape-adaptive windows in full resolution images. Finally, the vector fields are regularized with the minimization of the energy functional which considers both fidelity and smoothness of the fields. The first two steps provide highly reliable disparity vectors, so that local minimum problem can be avoided in regularization step. The proposed algorithm generates accurate disparity map which is smooth inside objects while preserving its discontinuities in boundaries. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed disparity estimation technique.

The purpose of this study was to develop evaluation indices for forest landscape classification. The indices were chosen to enable forest managers to establish effective landscape management strategies through three times of focus group interviews and email survey with experts. The 13 landscape evaluation indices were finally divided into four categories. They were ecological health (degree of green naturality, degree of ecological naturality, disease and insect damage, crown vitality), aesthetic visual quality (naturalness, harmony, diversity, traditionality, aesthetic appreciation, rarity), and sensitivity (level of tourism/recreational use), interruptions (damaged land, artificial structures). The five-level was suggested for the forest landscape classification system.
