  • This research attempts to investigate the geographical approaches on healing, which have been neglected in geography relatively, comprehensively and to examine the meaning of healing in daily life from the viewpoint of the managers of psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s. According to the results of this research, exposed healing spaces such as mental clinics or counselling centers are regarded as cultural stigmatic spaces; besides, psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s decrease psychological distance or resistance and people calling for healing can access these healing spaces easily. Second, healing spaces from a perspective of modern people mean geographical boundaries as refuges for a brief time; accordingly, the users' activities in psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s as instant or unexpected healing spaces in daily life are interpreted as special experiences without any emotional burdens. And these psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s are regarded as the spaces where can experience healing repeatedly and continuously. Third, psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s were changed into general caf$\acute{e}$s as open spaces; therefore, they can penetrate deeper into daily life rather than others.

  • In modern electronic warfare systems, a demand on the more accurate estimation method based on TDOA and FDOA has been increased. TDOA/FDOA localization consists of two-stage procedures; the extraction of information from signals, and the estimation of emitter location. CAF(complex ambiguity function) is known as a basic method in the extraction stage. However, when we extract TDOA and FDOA information from VHF(very high frequency) communication signals, conventional CAF algorithms may not work within a permitted time because of much computation. Therefore, in this paper, an improved sequential estimation algorithm based on CAF is proposed for effective calculation of extracting TDOA and FDOA estimates in terms of computational complexity. The proposed method is compared with the conventional CAF-based algorithms through simulation. In addition, we derive the optimal performance based on the CRLB(Cramer-Lao lower bound) to check the extraction performance of the proposed method.

  • Emerging evidence has suggested that glycolysis is enhanced in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), and miR-186 is downregulated during the CAF formation. However, it is not clear whether miR-186 is involved in the regulation of glycolysis and what the role of miR-186 plays during the CAF formation. In this study, quantitative PCR analysises show miR-186 is downregulated during the CAF formation. Moreover, miR-186 targets the 3' UTR of Glut1, and its overexpression results in the degradation of Glut1 mRNA, which eventually reduces the level of Glut1 protein. On the other hand, knockdown of miR-186 increased the expression of Glut1. Both time course and dose response experiments also demonstrated that the protein and mRNA levels of Glut1 increase during CAF formation, according to Western blot and quantitative PCR analyses, respectively. Most importantly, besides the regulation on cell cycle progression, miR-186 regulates glucose uptake and lactate production which is mediated by Glut1. These observations suggest that miR-186 plays important roles in glycolysis regulation as well as cell cycle checkpoint activation.

  • 'The Third space,' which is the concept that embraces sociological, spatial, and marketing concepts, refers to the place which is other than the home and the workplace and which is a comfortable frequented place where meditation, psychological relaxation, and social needs can be satisfied. 'The Third space' has the characteristics of comfort, openness, interactivity, playfulness, and diversity. In modern times, most of consumption spaces play the role of 'the Third space,' and the typical example is $Caf{\acute{e}}$. $Caf{\acute{e}}$ began from its origin with the characteristics of 'the Third space,' and recently it has become the complex cultural space of urban dwellers. $Caf{\acute{e}}$ as 'the Third space' has the characteristics of a healing space, communication space, personalized space, value-expressive space, culture and consumption space, nomad space. Such characteristics of $Caf{\acute{e}}$ are well represented in the cafes around the regions where 'street culture' has recently been formed. As examined through the examples, $Caf{\acute{e}}$ as 'the Third space' can be more strategically produced by establishing themes through storytelling, giving spatial identity through style creation, diversifying the sequence through complex space organization, and establishing interaction devices through experience elements.

  • This study investigated the correlation between consumer's buying habits and food styling visual elements. Differentiated and original techniques were used to determine whether or not visual elements in tteok menus reflect the aesthetic needs of consumers without altering the nutrition of tteok. The targeted tteok cafes were in Jeonju Hanok Village, which is a tourist attraction in Korea. First, sub-factors of food styling visual elements applied to tteok $caf{\acute{e}}$ menus such as shape, size/volume, color, and texture all had significantly positive effects on customer satisfaction, proving that food styling visual effects applied to tteok $caf{\acute{e}}$ menus have significant effects on customer satisfaction. Second, sub-factors of food styling visual elements applied to tteok $caf{\acute{e}}$ menus all had significantly positive effects on buying habits. Third, customer satisfaction of menus had a significant effect on buying habits, as proven by previous studies. Fourth, the effects of customer satisfaction on the relationship between food styling visual factors applied to tteok $caf{\acute{e}}$ menus and buying habits were investigated.

  • In this paper, we designed a cascade adaptive filter for elimination of the baseline drift and the distortion of the filtered signal. The cascade adaptive filter(CAF) consists of two filters. The first adaptive filter which has the cutoff frequency of 0.3Hz eliminate the noisy signal. The second adaptive filter remove the remnant baseline drift which is not eliminated by the first adaptive filter. Comparing the performance of the CAF with standard filter, recursive notch filter(RNF) and a adaptive impulse correlated filter(AICF), the CAF showed a higher performance in removal of the baseline drift than standard filler, and RNF. Also, considering the distortion of filtered signal, CAF is better than AICF and is comparable to the standard filter.

  • In this study, applicability of compressed air form (CAF) fire water was verified in a bid to use the undersea effluent as fire water. Foam collector was fabricated in accordance with KS B ISO 7203-1 (Specification for low expansion foam concentrates for top application to water-immiscible liquids) and the test was conducted using fresh water as fire water for 19 times and using seawater as fire water 15 times that totaled 34 times. Foam reduction time was 237.73 seconds on average with fresh water and 215.60 seconds with seawater, which proved the applicability of CAF fire water using seawater. Besides, window breaker was fabricated to directly extinguish the fire in train and a full-scale fire test was conducted three times. At the final 3rd test, window glass was broken in 2 seconds to make the hole for fire extinguishing and suppressed the fire in 3 seconds using CAF fire extinguisher.

  • In modern electronic warfare systems, a demand on the more accurate estimation method based on TDOA and FDOA has been increased. TDOA/FDOA localization consists of two-stage procedures: the extraction of information from signals and the estimation of emitter location. Various algorithms based on CAF(complex ambiguity function), which is known as a basic method, has been presented in the area of extractions. When we extract TDOA and FDOA information using a conventional method based on the CAF algorithm from communication signals, considerably long integration time is required for the accurate position estimation of an unknown emitter far from sensors more than 300 km. Such long integration time yields huge amount of transmission data from sensors to a central processing unit, resulting in heavy computiational complexity. Therefore, we theoretically analyze the integration time for TDOA/FDOA information using CRLB and propose a two-stage global optimization algorithm which can minimize the transmission time and a computational complexity. The proposed method is compared with the conventional CAF-based algorithms in terms of a computational complexity and the CRLB to verify the estimation performance.

  • Indoor air quality control has been strengthened within childcare facilities and welfare communities for the elderly and infirm. I have researched the indoor air quality of kids caf$\acute{e}$s. The quality was determined by the measurement of $CO_2$ and HCHO, and the result was used in understanding of the current status of indoor air quality control. The higher level of $CO_2$ and HCHO were found in the playground area where children use compared to the area for guardians in kids caf$\acute{e}$s. And the more people in the caf$\acute{e}$s, the more $CO_2$ and HCHO were generated. It is judged that kids furniture produce harmful substances for children. Hence, the government regulations for kids caf$\acute{e}$s should be improved by reinforcing the indoor air quality control, considering that the main customers are children not adults.
