The purpose of this study was to optimize the mandarin dry chip manufacturing using a response surface methodology. The experiment was designed based on a CCD (Central Composite Design), and the independent variables were the drying temperature ($X_1$, $50-90^{\circ}C$), drying time ($X_2$, 12-36 hours), and microwave pretreat time ($X_3$, 0-4 minutes). The results of appearance ($Y_5$), color ($Y_6$), taste ($Y_8$) and overall acceptance ($Y_{10}$) were fitted to the response surface methodology model ($R^2=0.86$, 0.88, 0.89, and 0.84, respectively). Increasing the drying temperature and microwave treatment time were negatively evaluated for consumer acceptance. On the other hand, a high value of consumer acceptance was evaluated when the drying time was more than 24 hr. Therefore, the optimal conditions of $X_1$, $X_2$, and $X_3$ were $52.989^{\circ}C$, 24 hr, and 1 min, respectively. Under these optimal conditions, the predicted values of $Y_5$, $Y_6$, $Y_8$, and $Y_{10}$ were 5.066, 5.338, 5.063, and 5.339, respectively.

It is very difficult to clearly define the damages caused by blasting-induced noise and vibration, because the damages depend on, besides the level of noise and vibration, the response of the object, environmental conditions, subjective feeling, and mental condition. Especially, it is more difficult when the fish is concerned, because that experimental approach is not easy and that we lack of the reasonable criterion for the acceptance level of noise and vibration. In Korea, the acceptance level for damage due to underwater noise is 140 dB re $1{\mu}Pa$, and the difference from the underwater background sound level is defined as more than 20 dB re $1{\mu}Pa$. It is however, appropriate for continuous noise not for transient sound. The authors compared the relationship between vibration velocity and underwater noise measured from the test blasting around Marphysa sanguinea farm. This paper presents the measurement results and suggestions the acceptance level for damage due to underwater noise from explosive blasting.

Augmented Reality(AR) has been one of the important technologies of the 4th industrial revolution. Consumer acceptance of new technologies is substantial issue for market expansion, but there have been few empirical studies on factors that affect the acceptance or use intention of AR. In this study, we have explored and analyzed the factors influencing technology acceptance based on the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology(UTAUT2) model in the AR business and have discussed it with comparison with existing research based on this analysis. The results of this study suggest that the main variables of the existing UTAUT1 model had significant positive effect on the intention to use, such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation, habits of UTAUT2. In addition, perceived risk introduced in this study had a negative effect on intention to use. Furthermore, the impact between these two factors have been effort expectancy(${\beta}=.294$)>habits(${\beta}=.268$)>hedonic motivation(${\beta}=.266$)>performance expectancy,(${\beta}=.263$)>facilitating conditions(${\beta}=.233$)>perceived risk(${\beta}=-.094$). The impact of social influence did not have a significant effect on intention to use. The intention to use was analyzed to have a significant positive effect on the actual use and recommendation intention. On the other hand, the hypothesis that the age and gender has played a moderating role between independent variables and the intention of use were investigated. Age was found out to play a role as a moderator between social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habits and intention to use. In the same way, gender has been shown to play a moderating role between facilitating conditions, perceived risk and intention to use. Academic and practical implications are suggested based on the results of this study.

This study examined the difference in the usage of internet banking users between Korea and China. This model tests various theoretical research hypotheses relating to internet banking, The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT). The factors influencing on the use intention of Internet banking have been classified as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. The proposed model was empirically tested using data collected from a survey of internet banking users in Korea and China. The model is used by SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 7.0 for analysis on the sample collected from 272 respondents. The result of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, performance expectancy and social influence positively influence use intention of internet banking user both Korea and China. Second, facilitating conditions only positively influence on the usage of internet banking users in Korea. On the other side, effort expectancy do not influence the use intention of internet banking users in both two countries. The results of study will provide practical implications on the internet banking in Korea and China.

In this study, we aimed to optimize the blending conditions of sunflower oil (A), water (B), and oriental sauce (C) for canned smoked oysters Crassostrea gigas in oriental sauce (SOO). Using response surface methodology (RSM), we found that the optimal independent variables [X₁, A/(B+C); X₂, B/C] based on the salinity (Y₁) amino acid nitrogen content (Y₂), and overall acceptance (Y₃) of high-quality SOO were 48.7% (w/w) for sunflower oil, 25.5% (w/w) for water, and 25.8% (w/w) for oriental sauce. Under optimal conditions, the experimental values of Y₁, Y₂, and Y₃ were 1.68±0.4 g/100 g, 155.4±2.4 mg/100 g, 6.2±0.23 score, respectively, which were not significantly different from the predicted values (P<0.05). The SOO prepared under optimal conditions had a higher overall acceptance than commercial canned smoked oysters. These results suggest that developing canned smoked oysters in oriental sauce can be industrialized, and the product is predicted to be competitive in the global market.

Laser cutting is experiencing a rising worldwide acceptance in the industry. Expert systems are necessary for the systematic arrangement and searching of experimental data existing in journal papers, job handbooks, etc.. This paper proposes an expert system for the selection of the appropriate laser cutting variables from the available database. Optimum cutting conditions according to the given cutting velocity were searched and qualitative comments which are difficult to be used as database variables were shown at each velocity using the binary and fuzzy inference. These comments could be informative to unskilled operators of the laser cutting process. Typical cutting conditions of the mild steel and stainless steel were included and the working range and quality variations were displayed graphically. The proposed algorithm was implemented in an IBM compatible personal computer as an expert system for CO$_{2}$ laser cutting to derive the optimum cutting conditions by using the turbo prolog.

To provide required flow rates of cooling or circulating water properly, approach flow conditions of vertical pump systems should be in compliance with state of the art acceptance criteria. The direct inflow should be vortex free, with low pre-rotation and symmetric velocity distribution. Physical model investigations are common practice and the best tool of prediction to evaluate, to optimize and to document flow conditions inside intake structures for vertical pumping systems. Optimization steps should be accomplished with respect to installation costs and complexity on site. The report shows evaluation of various approach flow conditions inside a compact waste water pumping station. The focus is on the occurrence of free surface vortices and the evaluation of air entrainment for various water level and flow rates. The presentation of the results includes the description of the investigated intake structure, occurring flow problems and final recommendations.
