The emergence of open source software(OSS) with its most prominent advantages creates a vast interest among practitioners. A study on Linux, the most well-known OSS, estimated that it would cost as 5.4 billion Euros taking over 73,000 person-years if it had been developed by conventional means. However, Linux has achieved only 0.65 percent of the operating system market for individual users while Microsoft windows family counts for nearly 90 percent of the market. Much of the effort being spent in the development of OSS is going to waste and potential value that OSS can bring to users is not being realized. Adoption of OSS is often accompanied by the discontinuance of existing software that is already in place. If users resist changing, they may not adopt OSS. Using the case of Linux, this study examines user resistance to change from the commercial operating software to the free operating system. This study identifies six sub-types of switching costs (uncertainty, emotional, setup, learning, lost benefit, and sunk costs) and tests their effects on user resistance to change based on a survey of 201 users. The results show that user resistance to change has a negative impact on the adoption of OSS. Further, this study shows that uncertainty and emotional costs have significant effects on user resistance to change. Beyond previous research on technology adoption, this research contributes towards an understanding of the switching costs leading to user resistance to change and offers suggestions to OSS practitioners for developing strategies to improve the adoption of OSS.

In order to identify a load transfer mechanism of ground anchors, the behavior of multi load transfer ground anchor systems was investigated and compared with those of compression type anchors and tension type anchors. Large scale model tests were performed and stress-strain relationships were obtained. The load transfer mechanism of ground anchors was also investigated in the field tests. Finally, numerical analyses to predict the load-displacement relationships of anchors were conducted. It is concluded that the load transfer characteristics of MLT anchors are mechanically much more superior in the pull-out resistance effect than those of existing compression and tension type anchors. From the results of research work, we could suggest that the max pull-out capacity of anchor capacity to each the soil condition. Also, the MLT anchors can be used to achieve both structural enhancement and economic construction in earth retaining or supporting structures.

Applying the concept and components of human nature to the conversational agent in the smart home context, this study investigated the effects of the level of anthropomorphism and interaction type on the emotional user experiences and future use intention. The results of experiment study showed that the high-low condition of anthropomorphism and the voice-chatting interaction type have impacts on the perceived closeness, likability, and future use intention. That is, people evaluate the conversational agent as more close, likable, and useful when they perceive more human nature components and when in the voice interaction mode. Psychological resistance was lower in the voice than in the chatting mode regardless of the level of anthropomorphism. The results also demonstrated an interaction effect of anthropomorphism and interaction type on the future use intention: the effect of anthropomorphism existed only in the voice interaction mode. It leads to the conclusion that a conversational agent with the voice recognition interface should be designed with the higher level of human nature components for the continuous use.

We simulated the current limiting characteristics of resistive and inductive SFCLs with 100 ${\omega}$ of impedances for a single and double line-to-ground faults in the 154 kV grid between two substations nearby Seoul. The transient current at the faults includes not. only high AC current up to 44 kA but also significant DC component as high as 4 kA. The DC current is greater and lasts longer for the double line-to-ground fault than for the single line-to-ground fault. The inductive SFCL limited the fault current more effectively than the resistive one. The DC component, however, was greater and diminishes slower for the inductive SFCL than for the resistive one.

Load and resistance factor design is an efficient design approach that provides a system of consistent design solutions. This study aims to determine the load and resistance factors needed for the design of breakwater foundations within a probabilistic framework. In the study, four typical types of Korean breakwaters, namely, rubble mound breakwaters, vertical composite caisson breakwaters, perforated caisson breakwaters, and horizontal composite breakwaters, are investigated. The bearing capacity of breakwater foundations under wave loading conditions is thoroughly examined. Two levels of the target reliability index (RI) of 2.5 and 3.0 are selected to implement the load and resistance factors calibration using Monte Carlo simulations with 100,000 cycles. The normalized resistance factors are found to be lower for the higher target RI as expected. Their ranges are from 0.668 to 0.687 for the target RI of 2.5 and from 0.576 to 0.634 for the target RI of 3.0.

Specific survey objectives often cannot be met using only one geophysical method, as each method's results are influenced by the specific physical properties of subsurface materials. In particular, areas susceptible to geological hazards require investigation using more than one method in order to reduce risks to life and property. Instead of analyzing the results from each method separately, this work develops a four-quadrant criterion for classifying areas of levees as safe or weak. The assessment is based on statistically determined thresholds of seismic velocity (P-wave velocity from seismic refraction and S-wave velocity from multichannel analysis of surface waves) and electrical resistivity. Thresholds are determined by subtracting the standard deviation from the mean during performance testing of this correlation technique applied to model data of four horizontal and inclined fracture zones. Compared with results from the crossplot of resistivity and P-wave velocity, crossplot analysis using resistivity and S-wave velocity data provides more reliable information on the soil type, ground stiffness, and lithological characteristics of the levee system. A loose and sandy zone (represented by low S-wave velocity and high resistivity) falling within the second quadrant is interpreted to be a weak zone. This interpretation is well supported by the N values from standard penetrating test for the central core.

국내의 전력계통은 송전거리가 짧고, 전력공급의 신뢰도 및 안정도 향상을 위해서 망상구조로 되어있다. 이러한 구조는 사고시 임피던스 저하로 인해 사고전류의 크기가 차단기 차단내력을 초과하게 된다. 또한 전력수요 증가로 인해 사고전류의 크기는 계속 증가하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 배전계통의 장비 및 대용량 보호 기기로의 교체나 모선 분리 등의 방법을 실시하고 있지만 평사시 계통에 미치는 영향과 손실 발생에 따른 효율저하, 대용량 차단기로의 교체에 따른 경제적인 문제를 수반하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 효과적으로 해결하기 위해 초전도 한류기가 고안되었다. 본 연구에서는 변압기와 초전도 소자를 이용한 자속 결합형 초전도 한류기의 3상 사고전류제한 실험을 수행하였다. 자속 결합형 초전도 한류기는 평상시 정상 상태에서는 초전도 소자가 저항을 발생시키지 않고, 1, 2차 리액터에서 발생하는 자속은 서로 상쇄되어 전압이 유기되지 않음으로써 아무런 손실 없이 동작한다. 하지만 계통에서 사고가 발생하여 초전도 소자 임계 전류값 이상의 사고전류가 유입되면 초전도 소자가 ��치되어 저항을 발생하게 된다. 또한 병렬로 연결된 2차측 리액터에 사고 전류가 bypass되어 1, 2차 리액터에서 전압이 유기되고 이에 따라 안정적으로 사고전류를 제한하게 된다.

The purpose of the study was to identify the latent classes of meta-awareness of gender discrimination among Korean young adults using Latent Profile Analysis based on 'perceived ambivalence toward men among women', 'perceived ambivalent sexism among men', 'perceived gender(reverse-) discrimination in Korea'. After identifying the latent classes, the difference between gender role conflict, sense of distance from the opposite sex, and support for gender discrimination issues were explored among the classified groups. As a result, 3 latent classes among women and 2 latent classes among men were identified. Latent classes among women were named 'women with low sensitivity of sexism', 'women with high sensitivity of sexism' and 'women against sexism' and latent classes among men were named 'men with perception of gender equality', 'men with perception of reverse discrimination'. Types with higher levels of meta-awareness of gender discrimination were related with higher gender role conflict and higher sense of distance from the opposite sex. Among women, types with higher levels of meta-awareness of gender discrimination perceived higher levels of gender discrimination and showed more support for gender discrimination issues while among men, types with higher levels of meta-perception of gender discrimination only perceived higher levels of reverse discrimination. Based on the present findings, implications about the severe gender conflict among Korean young adults are further discussed in the article.

The purposes of the study were to analyze the effects of determinants and persuasive messages on the willingness-to-pay cultural & heritage assets' admission fees. Recently visitors have responded to a nationwide boycott of the fees within national parks due to feelings of disapproval and resentment. Data were collected through onsite surveys of 302 visitors in the Mt. Gyeryong National Park. Regression analysis and two-way ANOVA were employed to obtain the results. The results indicate that credit card payment was the most prominent predictor of willingness-to-pay at the .05 level. The second highest coefficient was obtained in the condition levying of admission fees and parking fees at the same time, providing temple interpretive services, followed by free days for everyone on special days each month. In addition, the most persuasive message was the descriptive content, which stated that fees were profoundly committed to the protection of the cultural heritage for future generations. As a result, it is effective to continually persuade visitors to use posters or reminders that stress the preservation of cultural assets at the entrance gate.
