This paper is a theoretical inquiry of the changing roles of digital technologies in the representation of risk. Critically examining existing perspectives on risk society and risk communication, this paper argues that digital technologies and images in risk communication have been relatively understudied. Having said that, this paper suggests that Actor-network Theory provide useful theoretical tools for current studies on how digital technologies affect contemporary risk communication practices. Furthermore, this paper examines varied recent studies investigating how digital technologies of visualization are at play in risk communication practices. In doing so, this paper demonstrates how digital images and technologies interrupt the processes that scientific evidence is presented and facts are constructed in varied contemporary scientific reasoning. It will focus on the emerging mode of seeing and visual regime made possible by the increased usage of digital image and technologies, which are characterized by networked connection, sensor, computerized algorithm, and increased storage space. Finally this paper will discuss on the implications on future studies on the roles of digital images and technologies in risk communication practices in Korean context.

A nonlinear cumulative damage theory, which can model the effects of the magnitude and sequence of variable amplitude fatigue loadings, is proposed. The concrete beam specimens are prepared and tested in four-point flexural loading conditions. The variable-amplitude fatigue loadings in two and three stages are considered. The present experimental study indicates that the fatigue failure of concrete is greatly influenced by the magnitude and sequence of applied, variable-amplitude fatigue loadings. It is seen that the linear damage theory proposed by Palmgren and Miner is not directly applicable to the concrete under such loading cases. The sum of the cumulative damage is found to be greater than 1 when the magnitude of fatigue loading is gradually increased and less than 1 when the magnitude of fatigue loading is gradually decreased. The proposed nonlinear damage theory, which includes the effects of the magnitude and sequence of applied fatigue loadings, allows more realistic fatigue analysis of concrete structures.

The purpose of this study is to review the advanced researches of the library tour, to extract the educational properties of library tour, and to propose the pedagogical meanings of library tour by reinterpreting the library tour based on pedagogical theories and foundations. As the result of this study, the extracted educational properties of library tour are like these: experience, media, explanation, interpretation, interaction. The educational properties are extracted through the related theories and researches. The pedagogical foundations based on the educational properties of library tour are like these: 1) John Dewey's experience theory. 2) Dale & Dwyer's teaching & learning media theories. 3) Bruner's educational theory. It's expected that this study will help the education librarians to plan, develop, and implement the face to face or virtual library tour program based on the pedagogical foundations for the effective library education.

The low-lying resolved resonance structure of U-233 is investigated in terms of the Adler-Adler multilevel formalism. The resonance capture and fission cross sections of U-233 below 60 eV are calculated using Adlers' effective resonance parameters. The infinite dilution resonance integrals of U-233 are computed with the use of the Alders' parameters adjusted to fit the cross section data. It is found that the agreement of calculations with experiments is generally good over most of the energy region covered. A transformation of the Adlers' multilevel parameters into an equivalent set of the single level pseudoparameters is made for the use of the existing computer codes which are useful in the reactor calculations but do not have capability to use the multilevel parameters. The results of this transformation are presented in the form of a table.

What the structure of knowledge management capability (KMC) to improve the organizational performance is an important issue for researchers and practitioners with growing interest in recent years. In this paper, we begin with a deep thinking about the resource-based view and knowledge-based view of the firm applying to knowledge management issues. By exploring the two underlying theories of knowledge management, together with an intensive review and interpretation of existing literatures, we obtain six major dimensions of KMC. We then propose an integrated conceptual model of KMC and its relationship with organizational performance. A PLS analysis of the gathered data from organizations in Korea which already have enterprise-wide knowledge management systems is conducted to validate the proposed model. We discuss several meaningful implications and draw several insightful conclusions surrounding the KMC.

Soot particles generated by fossil fuel combustion normally have fractal morphology with aggregates consisting of small spherical particles. Thus, Rayleigh or Mie elastic light scattering theory is not feasible for determining the fractal properties of soot aggregates. This paper describes a detailed process for applying Rayleigh-Debye Gans (RDG) scattering theory to effectively extract the morphological properties of any nano-scale particles. The fractal geometry of soot aggregates produced from an isooctane diffusion flame was observed using ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after thermophoretic sampling. RDG scattering theory was then used to analyze their fractal morphology, and various properties were calculated, such as the diameter of individual soot particles, number density, and volume fraction. The results show indiscernible changes during the soot growth process, but a distinct decreasing trend was observed in the soot oxidation process. The fractal dimension of the soot aggregates was determined to be around 1.82, which is in good agreement with that produced for other types of fuel. Thus, it can be concluded that the value of the fractal dimension is independent of the fuel type.

This study aims to prove the relationship between a TPB(theory of planned behavior) variables (subjective norms, attitudes, and self-efficacy), need to belong and personal growth initiatives to explain the reasons for users' shared behavior. 959 participants who had shared online video were collected as a sample through an online survey and the collected data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The study found that need to belong affected attitudes to online video sharing and subjective norms, and that personal growth initiative also affected attitudes to online video sharing and self-efficacy. In addition, all three variables of TPB were affect the intend of online video sharing, and attitudes to online video sharing were affecting subjective norms and self-efficacy. This study is meaningful in that it demonstrated the user's intention to share online video through variables of TPB along with their need to belong and personal growth initiatives.

This study was conducted for the purpose of comparing the advertising effect of Korean companies and Vietnamese domestic companies by applying the balance theory to Vietnamese consumers emerging as a new market for Korean companies. An experiment was conducted on female university students, and cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to advertisements in the two countries were investigated. The results showed that there was no difference in the cognitive dimension of Vietnamese consumers' evaluation of advertisements in Korea and Vietnam, but there is a difference in the emotional dimension and the behavioral dimension. This study contributed theoretically to the possibility of applying the balance theory to the study of international advertising effects, and the implications of international advertising of Korean companies in the underdeveloped markets were discussed.
