  • Objective : The Hoarding Rating Scale-Self-Report (HRS-SR) is a five-item scale that simply assesses the hoarding symptoms. We evaluated the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Korean version of the HRS-SR (HRS-SR-K). Methods : A total of 144 individuals completed the self-administered questionnaires including HRS-SR-K, Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised-Korean version (OCI-R-K), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Psychometric properties of the HRS-SR-K were analyzed. Results : The Cronbach's α value for internal consistency of the HRS-SR-K was excellent (Cronbach's α=0.84). The construct validity was analyzed on the basis of principal component analysis and one-factor structure of the original scale was maintained. The HRS-SR-K total score and each item scores were more strongly correlated with the hoarding subscale score in OCI-R-K (convergent validity, r=0.71, p<0.01) than the corresponding scores of nonspecific depression or anxiety measures (discriminant validity). Conclusion : The HRS-SR-K is a simple and reliable self-report scale for examining the severity of hoarding symptoms.

  • The purpose of this study is to present a rational analytical method for predicting the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture for a one-way CFRP grid reinforced concrete slab specimen. A total of four specimens were selected by Zhang et al.(2004) as the main experimental variables for CFRP grid amount, material properties and loading method. Analysis was performed through the Nonlinear Finite Element analysis program(RCAHEST), which applied the newly modified constitutive relational equations by the author. The mean and coefficient of variation for maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.38 and 7 %. The mean and coefficient of variation for displacement corresponding maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.41and 9.8 %. The prediction results for the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture were verified and evaluated. It is judged that additional research is needed to secure various experimental results and to develop a more reliable analytical method.

  • Monoamine oxidases catalyze the oxidative deamination of dietary amines and amine neurotransmitters, and assist in maintaining the homeostasis of the amine neurotransmitters in the brain. Dysfunctions of these enzymes can cause neurological and behavioral disorders including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. To understand their physiological roles, efficient assay methods for monoamine oxidases are essential. Reviewed in this Perspective are the recent progress in the development of fluorescent probes for monoamine oxidases and their applications to enzyme assays in cells and tissues. It is evident that still there is strong need for a fluorescent probe with desirable substrate selectivity and photophysical properties to challenge the much unsolved issues associated with the enzymes and the diseases.

  • The aqueous extract of Hydrilla verticillata (AEHV) was tested for possible pharmacological effects on experimental animals. AEHV significantly potentiated the sleeping time of mice induced by standard hypnotics viz. pentobarbitone sodium, diazepam, and meprobamate in a dose dependent manner. AEHV showed significant analgesic properties as evidenced by the significant reduction in the number of writhes and stretches induced in mice by 1.2% acetic acid solution. It also potentiated analgesia induced by morphine and pethidine in mice. Pretreatment with AEHV caused significant protection against strychnine and leptazol-induced convulsions. The behavioral studies on mice indicate CNS depressant activity of the aqueous extract of H. verticillata.

  • We focus on the slicing off some sub-nets using the transitive matrix. Control flows in the Petri nets is done based on the token flows. One control f]ow explains the independent tokens status and if the token-in divides into several tokens after firing a transition then the control flow divides to several flows, as well. Accordingly, we define that the basic unit of concur-rency (short BUC) is a set of the executed control flows based on the behavioral properties in the net. The BUC is S-invariant which has one control flow. We show the usefulness of transitive matrix to slice off some subnets from the original net based on BUC-through on an example.

  • The Purpose of this paper is to propose performance evaluation schemes of flexible manufacturing cell using a generalized stochastic Petri net. In the competitive and global manufacturing environment, to evaluate the feasibility and manufacturability of a product in the product design stage is highly required. Through this process, all the possible problems which may occur in the manufacturing stage can be fixed in early stage. The scheme of generalized stochastic Petri net utilizing both immediate and exponential distributed transitions are applied to model a manufacturing cell with flexible machines, material handler, transporter and buffers. Performance analyses are performed based on behavioral, structural and quantitative properties. A flexible manufacturing cell is evaluated using a Petri net simulator.

  • The conventional fuzzy set model has been criticized as a retrieval model because the MIN and MAX operators have the properties adverse to effective calculation of document values. Since the first introduction of fuzzy set theory a variety of fuzzy operators have been developed, which can replace the MIN and MAX operators. We analyze their behavioral aspects of generating document values, and propose the enhanced fuzzy set model based on a class of fuzzy operators called positively compensatory operators. We also show through performance experiments that the proposed fuzzy set model provides higher retrieval effectiveness.

  • In order to represent and analyze distributed system design, the model based on an extended form of Petri nets, which enables one to represent both the structure and the behavior of a distributed system, is predented. Behavioral properties of the design representation are verified by translating the extended Petri net into an equivalent ordinary Petri net. The model emphasizes the unified representation of control flows, hierarchical structure, and distributed system state. Modeling technique isemployed for the performance and function analysis of flexible manufacturing system with a set of processors.

  • Before getting to the actual study of the load distribution factor in various excavating methods, this research is preliminarily focused on the comparison of two different excavation methods, CD cut method and Ringcut method. Especially, the purpose of this research is to study the behavioral mechanism of two tunnels which share the same construction environment but different excavating method. Two numerical analysis models with the same tunnel section and material properties are compared in this study, and they are analyzed by 3D Finite Element Analysis. In each model, face stability, crown displacement, ground settlement, and shotcrete-lining stress are computed. Thus, the general behavior of CD cut method and Ringcut method are studied, and it certified what should be considered for the calculation of the load distribution factor.

  • The paper proposes an approach, called OPNets, for modeling and validating manufacturing systems that is based on object-oriented high-level Petri nets. In OPNets, modeling components of Petri net are constructed into hierarchical objects that communicate with each other by passing messages. To enhance the reusability and maintainability, OPNets organizes a system into hierarchical objects that inherit attributes and behavioral properties from the object of super class and object-interaction relations are separated from the internal structure of object. The modeling scheme of OPNets tries to resolve the complexity problems of Petri net. To illustrate the modeling schemes of OPNets, a storage/retrieval example has been proposed.
