  • This paper examines the birth of civil engineers in the United States. Unlike the advanced some European countries such as Great Britain or France, as a new nation America had to import high-tech technologies from them.

  • One of the most important characteristics in Hollywood movies is that Hollywood movies have created heroes. But, the meaning of heroes in Hollywood movies is different from proto- typical heroes. America has such a short history, so it doesn't have the mythology. It is also consist of multi-race, culture. Thus, America people, especially governor need something that tie up governed people spiritually. Hollywood film industry has responded about this expectation since 1920's. Hollywood film producers have created mythology and hero like the western genre and Rambo. Now days, America, as only super power, wants to spread it's mythology and heroes over the world. That is cultural Imperialism.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine Korean students' production and perception of word-final stop voicing in light of their overseas experience. Subjects were English native speakers, Korean university students with residence experience in America, Korean university students without residence experience in America, and Korean elementary school students. They participated in both production and perception tests. Results showed that the students' production and perception with residence experience in America appeared quite similar to those of the English native speakers. In the production tests, we noticed somewhat different results in temporal and frequency features. The one-year residence in America had some influence on their frequency features, but not the temporal features in the word final stop production. That difference could be seen in the perception tests, too. We could not find any difference in the identification test of the final release environment between the Korean university students who had studied abroad and those who didn't. Rather the difference could be found in the cue influence test in both the final release and non-release environments.

  • 최근 CPS(Cyber-Physical Systems)는 IoT(Internet of Things), 빅데이터 기술과 함께 미래 전력산업의 핵심 키워드로 등장하고 있다. CPS는 산업의 중심이 하드웨어에서 소프트웨어로 빠르게 전환하고 있는 현시점에서 기존의 물리시스템 혹은 물리프로세스를 효율적이고 안전하며 지능적으로 만들고 운영하기 위한 기술이다. 지난 2007년 미국을 중심으로 기술개발이 시작된 이래 다시금 새로운 전환기를 맞이하고 있다. 미국은 지난 2013년 제 2기 PIF(Presidential Innovation Fellow)의 주도로 SmartAmerica Challenge라는 이름으로 새로운 가치와 일자리 창출을 위한 국민생활 밀착형 대규모 CPS 융합 프로그램을 추진 중이다. 이를 통해 미국은 학술적이고 이론적인 CPS R&D 전략으로부터 보다 현실적으로 국부를 창출할 수 있는 개방형 R&BD형의 CPS 기술발전을 모색하고 있다. 본고에서는 CPS의 태동 배경으로부터 최근 SmartAmerica Challenge에 이르는 전반적인 CPS 기술동향을 조망하고 향후 우리의 나아갈 바를 제언하는 것으로 글을 맺고자 한다.

  • This paper addresses the zero-sum of soft power against the backdrop of the rise of China and the relative "decline" of America. It attempts to find out that whether the "decline" of America's soft power is caused by the rise of China's soft power, and whether China's rise could guarantee with certainty the growth of soft power. In light of the particularity of South Korea, that is, its economy relies on China and its security relies on the US, this paper chooses South Korea as the entry point for the study. Based on the Pew data from a South Korean opinion poll, this paper conducts bivariate correlation and binary logistic regression respectively, to explore the existence of zero-sum "competitions" between China's and America's soft power.

  • The United States of America is privileged in that social stratification is not directly linked to the division of powers. Nonetheless, America endured the devastating Civil War only to consolidate her national identity when a nation was not defined. In fact, state governments preexisted as a sovereign long before the federal government came into existence as a national government. As a consequence, intergovernmental relations have persistently been contested long after the Civil War ended. In contrast, the European Union was founded on the political will to establish regional integration such that her member states would never repeat the bloodshed in catastrophic wars. Since the principle of subsidiarity precipitated political endeavor in regional integration, the EU developed into a bifurcated system of transnational and international organizations. In this paper, I evaluate the US and the EU by applying the perspective of federalism in which separation and integration are perennially at tension.
