Recently, e-learning platforms are rapidly growing by innovating the education industry by applying various IT technologies. Because student participation in the online environment is considered a prerequisite for learning, low participation rates are considered one of the most important issues determining the performance of e-learning platforms. Gamification has grown rapidly over the past decades and is highly valued for its applicability in education because it is expected to enhance learning motivation. However, despite the interest of researchers, previous studies have reported conflicting results on the effect of gamification on participation rates in the context of e-learning platforms, and have mainly studied structural gamification, but have not sufficiently addressed the effects of content gamification. In this context, this study aims to analyze the effect of content gamification on e-learning platform engagement and to explore the boundary conditions moderating this effect. For empirical analysis, 5,017 data registered from February 11, 2022 to May 31, 2022 were analyzed for the education platform entry (https://playentry.org). The propensity score matching method and Poisson multilevel regression model were applied as analysis methods. As a result of the analysis, content gamification had a statistically significant effect on engagement, and the interaction effects of interaction and content difficulty were statistically significant.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

Essential oil from herb is known to exert pharmacological effects on the human body. In this study we investigated the antibacterial activity of 4 essential oils (teetree, rosemary, melisa, and lavender), as well as the blended mixture oil of teetree, rosemary, and melisa (TRM) on three bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibacterial analysis was performed using the standard disk diffusion method, and minimum inhibition concentration was determined by the broth microdilution method with different concentrations of essential oils (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg/mL). After incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 h, the antibacterial activity was assessed by measuring the zone of growth inhibition surrounding the disks. Herb oil with the inhibition zones showed varied values ranging from6 to 25 mm. However, the components of herb oil of TRM are as highly active as the teetree oil against pathogens, generating large inhibition zones for both gram negative and positive bacteria (13~22 mm and 8 mm inhibition zones). In the analysis for MIC, TRM showed growth-inhibitory effects at 0.0625% for S. aureus and E. coli, and 1.25% for P. aeruginosa. This result demonstrated that the anti-microbial activity of TRM was greater than a single herb oil, including oxacillin, rosemary, and teetrea. As a single herb oil, both rosemary and teetrea also had an anti-microbial effect by itself, and we can expect that the blended oil mixture may exert a synergistic effect against multidrug resistant bacteria, suggesting its future application in natural preservative agents for health food and cosmetics.

The domestic used car market continues to grow along with the used car online platform service. The used car online platform service discloses vehicle specifications, accident history, inspection history, and detailed options to service consumers. Most of the preceding studies were predictions of used car prices using vehicle specifications and some options for vehicles. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that there was a nonlinear relationship between used car prices and some specification variables. Accordingly, the researchers tried to solve the nonlinear problem by executing a Machine Learning model. In common, the Regression based Machine Learning model had the advantage of knowing the actual influence and direction of variables, but there was a disadvantage of low Cost Function figures compared to the Decision Tree based Machine Learning model. This study attempted to predict used car prices of six domestic brands by utilizing both vehicle specifications and vehicle options. Through this, we tried to collect the advantages of the two types of Machine Learning models. To this end, we sequentially conducted a regression based Machine Learning model and a decision tree based Machine Learning model. As a result of the analysis, the practical influence and direction of each brand variable, and the best tree based Machine Learning model were selected. The implications of this study are as follows. It will help buyers and sellers who use used car online platform services to predict approximate used car prices. And it is hoped that it will help solve the problem caused by information inequality among users of the used car online platform service.

The growth of water trees was measured using CNRS Laboratory Models in laboratory polyethylene specimens. The effect of deaerating the specimens, and annealing them under different gaseous atmospheres was investigated. These factors were found to be secondary in the growth of water trees. The gas in contact with the material during the growth of water trees is considered not to influence the intiation stage but the propagation stage.

전기적, 기계적으로 우수한 성능을 지닌 절연재료인 폴리에틸렌은 장기간 운전 중 열화에 의해 절연성능이 저하되고 시간이 지나면서 케이블의 사고 원인을 제공하게 된다. 본 논문에서 전력용 케이블의 절연체로 널리 사용되고 있는 가교폴리에틸렌(XLPE)를 대신하여 최근 주목을 받고있는 친환경 특성을 부여하기 위한 비가교 폴리에틸렌 재료에 대한 기초적 물성(워터트리성장특성, AC 절연파괴특성, 전도전류 특성)을 실험적으로 비교분석하였다.

High speed real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry was employed in order to characterize the growth of chromium thin film. This instrument can collect 512 points of {$\Delta$(hv), $\Psi$(hv)} spectra from 1.3 to 4.5 eV with acquisition and repetition rates of 20 msec or less. When this instrument was integrated into the chromium thin film growth, we could obtain not only the information on film properties but also the details of the processes. We deduced the growth rates and the evolution of the optical properties of chromium thin films under several preparation conditions. We also demonstrated the contamination process of chromium thin films caused by air exposure.

Inception and propagation of electrical tree and properties of partial discharge(PD) pulses accompanying with tree in low density polyethylene were discussed. We observed the characteristics of process of electrical tree by using optical microscope and investigated the statistical characteristics of the PD pulses by analyzing PD quantities and distribution patterns. The PD pulses were analyzed by q-n, $\phi$-n and $\phi$-q distribution. The statistical operators used were skewness(s), kurtosis(k) and average phase angle. The skewness and average discharge phase angle of PD pulses increased as the Propagation of tree. The kurtosis was about 1.8 at the Inception of tree, but It increased as the propagation of tree.

인터넷 환경의 급속한 성장과 더불어 기존의 텍스트 정보들이 다양한 형태의 멀티미디어 정보(소리, 이미지, 동영상 등)로 대체되었다. 이로 인해 멀티미디어 정보검색의 필요성이 대두되기 시작했다. 멀티미디어 정보검색 중 이미지검색은 크게 주석기반과 특징기반 (color, shape, texture 등) 검색으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 고는 이미지 검색 중 전처리에 해당하는 색상어 질의처리의 한 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 사용자에게 익숙한 자연어 질의로부터 이미지의 특징에 해당하는 색상 정보와 주석에 해당하는 키워드 정보를 중심어 후위원칙기반으로 파싱트리를 구성한 후, 후위순회방식에 의해 불리언 검색을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다.

A bacterium, capable of the degradation of trimethylamine(TMA), dimethylamine, and methylamine, was isolated from an enrichment culture on TMA basal mineral medium. The isolate was identified as Methylobacterium some carbon-carbon bonds compounds like malate, succinate, betaine. When the strain was immobilized to earthworm cast, the biofilter could remove the gaseous TMA of SV $30h^{-1}$, concentration of 120ppm, continuously.
