The purpose of this study was to discover a conceptual framework and evaluation process of apparel quality by means-end chain theory. The theoretical study was conducted to find out a conceptual framework and build a hypothetical evaluation process model of apparel quality. Apparel quality was perceived associative network called a means-end chain and was evaluated in several stages. A conceptual framework of apparel quality evaluation was organized into hierarchical relationships among four different dimensions: physical attribute, physical function, instrumental performance, and expressive performance. The means-end structure linked tangible physical attributes and function to more abstract instrumental and expressive performance. A hypothetical evaluation process model linked dimensions of apparel quality to the selected means-end relationship. Different consumers had different means-end chains for the same apparel. Therefore different subjects are likely to have different evaluation paths. From this study we can suggest an evaluation process model of apparel quality.

This paper presents the development of language tutoring systems for nonnative speakers by leveraging advanced end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) and proficiency evaluation. Given the frequent errors in non-native speech, high-performance spontaneous speech recognition must be applied. Our systems accurately evaluate pronunciation and speaking fluency and provide feedback on errors by relying on precise transcriptions. End-to-end ASR is implemented and enhanced by using diverse non-native speaker speech data for model training. For performance enhancement, we combine semisupervised and transfer learning techniques using labeled and unlabeled speech data. Automatic proficiency evaluation is performed by a model trained to maximize the statistical correlation between the fluency score manually determined by a human expert and a calculated fluency score. We developed an English tutoring system for Korean elementary students called EBS AI Peng-Talk and a Korean tutoring system for foreigners called KSI Korean AI Tutor. Both systems were deployed by South Korean government agencies.

국내에 설치되고 있는 가드레일의 단부처리시설(end treatments)은 차량의 관통이나 전복을 유발할 수 있는 형상을 하고 있어 사고 시 탑승자가치명상을 입을 가능성이 매우 높다. 실제로 차량이 가드레일의 단부에 충돌하였을 경우, 가드레일이 차량내부를 관통하여 탑승자에게 직접적인 상해를 입히는 경우가 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국과 유럽의 성능평가기준(performance evaluation criteria)에 근거하여 국내 실정에 적합한 단부처리시설에 관한 성능평가기준(안)을 제시하였다. 또한 외국의 설치사례 및 연구사례를 조사하여 단부처리시설의 mechanism을 파악하고 국내 도로환경 에 적합한 단부처리시설을 제안하였다. LS-DYNA 프로그램을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 단부처 리시설에 대한 성능을 검증한 결과 성능평가기준(안)에 모두 만족한 결과를 보였으며, 개발 단부처리시설에 대한 실물차량 충돌시험을 수행한 결과 성능평가기준(안)의 탑승자 보호성능, 단부처리시설의 거동, 충돌 후 차량의 거동을 모두 만족하였다. 국내 최초로 탑승자의 안전을 고려하여 개발된 단부처리시설이 고속도로나 국도에 설치된다면 단부충돌사고의 심각성을 감소시켜 도로의 안전성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study presents a methodology that efficiently evaluates and interprets the end-user computing capability in a total perspective in a computing environment. The evaluation system has an evaluation tool, evaluation method and process, and an interpretation system. The validity and reliability of the developed tool construct was verified by factor and reliability analysis with the application of SPSS software. The application and utilization of the developed system was confirmed by applying it to evaluating the computing competency of 316 workers in an enterprise and presenting its evaluation results. This will contribute to developing a methodology for totally evaluating and interpreting the end-user computing capability and improving their computing capability in industrial fields.

The purpose of this paper was to develop evaluation procedures for blended instruction, focusing on the courses that are currently offered in the university. This study analyzed current evaluation procedures and instruments and suggested redesign the evaluation process for blended instruction. The evaluation procedures are designed based on the combination of objective-oriented and consumer-oriented evaluation approaches. It includes three stages: front-end (screening), formative evaluation, and summative evaluation. During the front-end evaluation stage, information regarding students' technology skills and attitudes towards online instruction and classroom instruction are suggested to collect and plan the instructional strategies accordingly. The formative evaluation is conducted during the semester to collect students' opinions about the course and instructors modify their instruction based on the evaluation results. At the end of semester, summative evaluation is to be conducted to collect the data to improve the course. Evaluation questions and components for each stage are developed to collect the data such as students' perceptions of the course, the usefulness of online instructional materials, the effectiveness of blended learning strategies, and students' satisfaction with the course.

The Internet banking service, through which customers process their banking-related works, was introduced in July 1997. The service has since spread quickly, and as of the end of June 2000, just one year after its introduction into Korea, its subscribers numbered 1.23 million people. This figure is ten times larger than the 120,000 subscribers recorded over the six months period up to the end of 1999. In addition, since the end of June 2000, subscriptions on average increase by more than 10,000 a day, and by the end of December 2000, it is expected to pass the 3 million mark. There has been no empirical study conducted on the invigorated Internet banking's status and its services. Therefore, this research is designed to conduct a survey on the Internet banking service status, to conduct actual transactions from the viewpoint of customers and then make a empirical evaluation of it. This will indicate directions for improvement and development of the domestic Internet banking service. We have evaluated ten areas of the Internet banking service including financial service, customers service, users'convenience, and system safety. As of the end of June 2000, 18 out of 20 commercial domestic banks are providing an Internet banking service, and we have conducted evaluations of all these banks. The evaluation is divided into ten categories with 100 points as a maximum score. These are then classified into six grades AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB and B. The outcome of this evaluation was featured in the major domestic journals, and the banks, acknowledging the value of the report, declared that they would adopt it as their criteria for evaluation.

확장단부판(extended end-plate) 접합부는 보-기둥 모멘트 접합부의 한 형태로 접합부를 구성하는 단부판(end-plate)의 두께 및 길이, 고장력볼트의 개수 및 직경, 고장력볼트의 게이지 거리, 용접부의 치수 및 길이 등에 따라서 상이한 거동특성과 에너지소산능력을 발현한다. 이러한 확장단부판(extended end-plate)는 미국 및 유럽 등지에서는 다양한 기하학적 형상으로 기둥-보 접합부에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 우리나라에서는 강구조 보-기둥 접합부에 적극적으로 적용되고 있지 못한 상황이다. 이렇게 적용성이 높지 않은 이유로는 기하학적 형상변화에 따른 설계강도식 제안, 에너지소산능력 평가 및 시공지침의 제공이 적절하게 이루어지지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 단부판(end-plate) 두께가 상대적으로 얇은 기하학적 형상을 갖는 비보강 확장단부판(unstiffened extended end-plate) 접합부의 에너지소산능력을 평가하여 에너지소산능력 예측모델을 제안하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 비보강 확장단부판(unstiffened extended end-plate) 접합부에 대한 3차원 비선형 유한요소해석을 단부판(end-plate)의 두께를 변수로 하여 수행하였다.

Supporting QoS over multihop wireless mesh networks is difficult because end-to-end delay increases quickly with the increasing number of hops. This paper introduces a novel multichannel time-division multiple-access media access control (McTMAC) protocol that can help to efficiently reduce delay over multihop networks. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that McTMAC outperforms existing alternative protocols. The max-delay can be reduced by as much as 60% by using McTMAC.

Some bogie frames manufactured in 1999, 2000 year have the fatal problem. Three or four years later, the cracked end beam among them have discovered in 2002, 2003 year. The crack situation of the end beam have a bad effect on brake system. In that case, the cars would be in danger of derailment. To improve the end beam, a research of covering the whole field of welded type bogie frame was started. Main line real tests were performed at Young-Dong line. The stress of main positions for bogie frame was measured. Also up-down direction and left-right direction vibration acceleration of the bogie frame were measured. At this time the tests were performed for the three types bogie. The test result concludes that the crack cause of the end beam is not brake load but vibration at running mainly. It is estimated that the life of the improved car which end beam reinforced is safe within the car permitted life(25 years). The improvement methods of the end beam are presented by construction modification, parts modification. The integrity evaluation is inspected by analysis the real line test results, the improvement methods of the end beam.
