Using data from 132 telephone interviewees, we examined the role of affective-cognitive ambivalence in forming overall attitude and behavior toward toxic chemical and radioactive waste issues in Marion, Ohio in the U.S. In order to compare attitudinal preference, participants were divided into four A-C groups: action-group (Affective+/Cognitive+), detached-group (A-/C+), concerned-group (A+/C-), and inaction-group (A-/C-). Affective and cognitive components interacted, producing redundant influences on overall attitudes and judgments as frequently observed and postulated in previous attitude studies. The results showed that the action-group who were feeling unsafe and believed that environmental accidents had happened or are happening in Marion were less willing to move to the area than other three groups who were feeling safe and/or doubted reports of contamination and its relation with leukemia. Affective and cognitive components were found to have redundant influences on overall attitude. It was also observed that affective-cognitive ambivalence theory has a great potential for explaining the mechanism by which people form attitudes, especially when people have moderate or positive feelings (e.g. sympathy or eagerness for resources) toward the objects and/or when uncertainty is a major feature of environmental issue under consideration (e.g. global climate change).

The heritage value of the mixed wood-masonry 18th century Pombalino buildings of downtown Lisbon is recognized both nationally and internationally. The present paper focuses on the seismic assessment of global response and retrofitting of a typical Pombalino building by nonlinear static analyses, performed by the research software Tremuri, which is able to model 3D configurations. The structure is modelled using nonlinear beams for masonry panels, while in case of the internal walls (frontal walls) an original formulation has been developed in order to take into account their specific seismic behaviour. Floors are modelled as orthotropic membrane finite elements: this feature allows to simulate the presence of both flexible and rigid diaphragms, being the first ones more representative of the original state while the second ones of retrofitted configurations. Seismic assessment has been evaluated by applying nonlinear static procedure and comparing the performance of different configurations (by considering various retrofitting strategies). Finally, assuming a lognormal cumulative distribution, fragility curves are obtained to be representative of Pombalino buildings: the most important application of such curves is for seismic risk and loss estimation analyses.

Abnormal growth of adipocyte characterized by increased cell numbers and differentiation is considered as an major pathological characteristic feature in obesity. Thus, inhibition of mitogenesis of preadipocytes and their differentiation to adipocytes would be beneficial for the prevention and inhibition of obesity. In the present study, we attempted to evaluate anti-adipogenic activity of eggplants (the fruits of Solanum melongena L.) employing preadipocytes cell line, 3T3-L1 as an in vitro assay system. Water extract of eggplants significantly inhibited adipocyte differentiation when treated during adipocyte differentiation process, as assessed by measuring fat accumulation using Oil Red O staining. Eggplant extract, however, showed little effects on fully differentiated adipocytes. Eggplant didn't show significant toxicity up to 500 ${\mu}g$/ml to the 3T3-L1 cells. Further studies with interval treatment demonstrated that eggplant exerted inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation via acting on early stage of adipogenesis. Conclusively, eggplants are suggested to be beneficial for the prevention of obesity.

During a power swing, distance relays may mistakenly spread fault throughout the power grid, causing a great deal of damage. In some cases, such mistakes can cause global outages. For this reason, it is critical to make a distinction between power swings and faults in distance relays. In this paper, a new method is proposed based on RMS measurement to differentiate between faults and power swings. The proposed method was tested on two standard grids, demonstrating its capability in detecting a power swing and simultaneous fault with power swing. This method required no specific configurations, and was independent of grid type and zoning type of distance relays. This feature in practice allows the relay to be installed on any grid with any kind of coordination. In protective relays, the calculations applied to the microprocessor is of great importance. Distance relays are constantly calculating the current RMS values for protection purposes. This mitigates the computations in the microprocessor to detect power swings. The proposed method was able to differentiate between a fault and a power swing. Furthermore, it managed to detect faults occurring simultaneously with power swings.

GPS(Global Positioning System) is widely used for the position estimation of an aerial vehicle. However, GPS may not be available due to hostile jamming or strategic reasons. A vision-based position estimation method can be effective if GPS does not work properly. In mountainous areas without any man-made landmark, a horizon is a good feature for estimating the position of an aerial vehicle. In this paper, we present a new method to estimate the position of the aerial vehicle equipped with a forward-looking infrared camera. It is assumed that INS(Inertial Navigation System) provides the attitudes of an aerial vehicle and a camera. The horizon extracted from an infrared image is compared with horizon models generated from DEM(Digital Elevation Map). Because of a narrow field of view of the camera, two images with a different camera view are utilized to estimate a position. The algorithm is tested using real infrared images acquired on the ground. The experimental results show that the method can be used for estimating the position of an aerial vehicle.

컴퓨터의 발전과 인터넷의 급속한 발전으로 정보의 양이 폭발적으로 증가하게 되었고 이러한 방대한 양의 정보들은 대부분 문서 형태로 관리되기 때문에, 이들을 효과적으로 검색하고 처리하는 방법의 연구가 필요하다. 문서 군집은 문서간의 유사도를 바탕으로 서로 연관된 문서들을 군집화하여 대용량의 문서들을 자동으로 분류하고 검색하고 처리하는데 효율과 정확성을 증대시킨다. 본 논문은 특징 벡터 공간 상의 벡터들로 표현되는 문서들을 K 평균 알고리즘으로 군집화할 때, 주성분 분석을 사용하여 초기 시드점들을 선정함으로써 군집의 효율을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안하는 기법이 기존의 K 평균 알고리즘보다 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

Support vector machine(SVM)은 최근 각광받는 기계학습 방법 중 하나로서, kernel function 이라는 사상(mapping)을 이용하여 입력 공간의 벡터를 classification이 용이한 특징 (feature) 공간의 벡터로 변환하는 것을 근간으로 한다. SVM은 이러한 특징 공간에서 두 클래스를 구분 짓는 hyperplane을 일련의 최적화 방법론을 사용하여 찾아내며, 주어진 문제가 convex problem 인 경우 항상 global optimal solution 을 보장하는 등의 장점을 지닌다. 한편 bioinformatics 연구에서 주로 사용되는 데이터는 측정 오류 등 일련의 오류를 포함하고 있으며, 이러한 오류는 기계학습 방법론이 어떤 decision boundary를 찾아내는가에 영향을 끼치게 된다. 특히 SVM의 경우 이러한 오류는 특징 공간 벡터간의 관계를 나타내는 Gram matrix를 변화로 나타나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 입력 공간에 오류가 발생할 때 그것이 SVM 의 decision boundary를 어떻게 변화시키는가를 대표적인 두 가지 kernel function, 즉 linear kernel과 Gaussian kernel에 대해 분석하였다. Wisconsin대학의 유방암(breast cancer) 데이터에 대해 실험한 결과, 데이터의 오류에 따른 SVM 의 classification 성능 변화 양상을 관찰하여 커널의 종류에 따라 SVM이 어떠한 특성을 보이는가를 밝혀낼 수 있었다. 또 흥미롭게도 어떤 조건 하에서는 오류가 크더라도 오히려 SVM 의 성능이 향상되는 것을 발견했는데, 이것은 바꾸어 생각하면 Gram matrix 의 일부를 변경하여 SVM 의 성능 향상을 꾀할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

As the device feature size is reduced to the deep sub-micron regime, the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology is widely recognized as the most promising method to achieve the global planarization of the multilevel interconnection for ULSI applications. However, cost of ownership (COO) and cost of consumables (COC) were relatively increased because of expensive slurry. In this paper, the effects of different slurry composition on the oxide CMP characteristics were investigated to obtain the higher removal rate and lower non-uniformity. We prepared the various kinds of slurry. In order to save the costs of slurry, the original slurry was diluted by de-ionized water (DIW). And then, alunima abrasives were added in the diluted slurry in order to promote the mechanical force of diluted slurry.

The RTAs with trade facilitation provisions have been expected to generate a larger net trade-creating effect and complement the discriminatory feature of RTAs but have yet to be empirically proven. Recognizing the limitations of existing studies, we conducted a quantitative analysis on the effects of RTAs with and without trade facilitation provisions on both intra- and extra-bloc trade by using a modified gravity equation. We applied the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimation with time varying exporter and importer fixed effect method to panel data consisting of 45,770 country pairs covering 170 countries for 2000-2010. We found that the trade facilitation provisions in existing RTAs are non-discriminatory by generating more intra- and extra-bloc trade in general. In particular, we found that the trade effects of RTAs in the APEC region are much stronger than the general case covering all RTAs in the world. In addition, as we control the trade effect of a country's trade facilitation, which is ranked by the World Bank's logistic performance index, RTAs consisting of trade facilitation provisions are discriminatory for trade in final goods and non-discriminatory for trade in intermediate goods. Overall, we endeavor to "explain," instead of "hypothesizing," why most of the recent RTAs contain trade facilitation provisions, especially in light of the deepening regional interdependence through trade in parts and components under global value chains and support the necessity of multilateralizing RTAs by implementing non-discriminatory trade facilitation provisions.
