In this study three types of aggregation methods such as the Estimate-Talk-Consensus (ETC) process, the Estimate-Talk-Estimate (ETE) process, and as a new approach the Estimate-Talk-Leader's Estimate (ETLE) process are compared to find which one of the three group processes considered is more effective than others. We, also, investigate the effect of group size on the performance of the group processes. Some experiments were conducted. It was shown that both the ETC and the ETLE processes performed better than the ETE process in approaching correct estimates in this judgmental task. As the size group increased, only the ETC and the ETC processes were shown to result in positive effect.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$ in pediatric patient. Methods The study was conducted with 79 children, who were 5 to 18 years old. They were tested using Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$. Their height, weight were measured for body mass index to find out the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the result of Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$ (SI). Results 1. The percentages of the normal weight group (74.68%), overweight group (6.33%), and underweight group (18.99%) were shown respectively. 2. No one was belong to Acute Processes in either groups. 3. In normal weight group, there were Active Processes (16.9%), Unstable Remission (69.5%), Inactive Processes (13.6%), Inactive Process or Development Risk (0.0%). In overweight group, there were Active Processes (20.0%), Unstable Remission (40.0%), Inactive Processes (40.0%), Inactive Process or Development Risk (0.0%). In underweight group, there were Active Processes (6.7%), Unstable Remission (66.7%), Inactive Processes (20.0%), Inactive Process or Development Risk (6.7%). Conclusions There were no significant relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$ in pediatric patient. Considering that the number of subjects involved in this study was not enough to confirm any results, further studies are necessary to confirm this relationship.

This research with 40 hearing impaired children was performed to find out the characteristics of the phonological processes for each age, hearing loss degree and aided threshold degree through the transcriptions. The phonological processes of hearing impaired children are similar to those of normal children with a peculiar type of patterns in phonological processes. The results show that: (1) Between 5 and 6 year old groups the phonological processes were significantly different in palatal backing, glottal replacement and frication; between 6 and 7 year old groups the phonological processes were significantly different in velar fronting, labialization, alveolization and labial assimilation; between 7 and 8 year old groups the phonological processes, labialization, alveolization and alveolar assimilation, however 8 year old group showed more phonological processes than 7 year old group. (2) Between moderately-severe and severe hearing impaired groups, phonological processes were significantly different in the omissions of postvocalic, nasal and velar, stopping and stop assimilation. The differences of severe and profound groups were not found at all. (3) Aided hearing thresholds did not show any significant difference.

Recently, some applications require the multicast service that transmit messages to multiple destinations in computer communication network enviroment. Multicast service is to send messages to the group which consists of a number of processes. A multicast group is a collection of processes which are destinations of the transmitted messages and these processes may run on one or more hosts. Therefore, it is important to manage each member of process groups in order to provide efficient multicast services. In this paper, we design and implement group management system to support multicast services. Group Management System was designed with Process Group Management System(PGMS) and Host Group Management System(HGMS). We have implemented basic primitives of PGMS, HGMS. Also, membership tree management algorithm is designed and implemented. Membership tree provides the relation of the members of multicast groups and routing Informations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a smoking cessation program on processes of change, situational temptation, and decisional balance in male university student smokers. Method: Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, 78 male university students consisted of an experimental group (n=48) and a control group (n=30). A smoking cessation program was applied to the experimental group for a period of 6 months while no program was given to the control group. Study questionnaires were used to measure outcome variables before and after the program. Descriptive analysis, $\chi^2$-test, t-test, and ANCOVA were used with SPSS 18.0 program for data analysis. Results: After treatment with this program, the experimental group showed significantly higher scores for processes of change (experiential and behavioral processes of change) than the control group. The experimental group also showed significantly lower scores for situational temptation (positive social, negative affect, and habit strength). Conclusion: The smoking cessation program may have positive effects on process of change and smoking temptation for male university student smokers.

There have been growing recognition on the needs of coordination of diverse activities across cross-functional business areas necessarily involving group decision-making processes. Although many group decision-making support tools and methods have been introduced to enable the collaborative processes of group decision-making, they often lack features supporting the dynamic complexity issues. This study proposes system dynamics modeling approach based on simulation techniques to deal with the group decision-making tasks having properties of dynamic complexity.

This study developed a software platform using machine learning of artificial intelligence to optimize the distillation column system. The distillation column is representative and core process in the petrochemical industry. Process stabilization is difficult due to various operating conditions and continuous process characteristics, and differences in process efficiency occur depending on operator skill. The process control based on the theoretical simulation was used to overcome this problem, but it has a limitation which it can't apply to complex processes and real-time systems. This study aims to develop an empirical simulation model based on machine learning and to suggest an optimal process operation method. The development of empirical simulations involves collecting big data from the actual process, feature extraction through data mining, and representative algorithm for the chemical process. Finally, the platform for the distillation column was developed with verification through a developed model and field tests. Through the developed platform, it is possible to predict the operating parameters and provided optimal operating conditions to achieve efficient process control. This study is the basic study applying the artificial intelligence machine learning technique for the chemical process. After application on a wide variety of processes and it can be utilized to the cornerstone of the smart factory of the industry 4.0.

This study was performed to evaluate the new surgical technique for debarking. Of the 8 mongrel dogs which underwent devocalization, 4 heads (group 1) received complete surgical removal of the vocal cords and another 4 heads (group 2) received fixation of vocal cords and vocal processes onto the thyroid cartilage. Volume of each dogs' voices was measured by a sound level meter(Function A) over 7 months at intervals of 10 days. All experimental animals'hematological values were measured before operation and postoperative at 2i 5 and 10 days. The changes of volume of dogs'voices and hematological values were analyzed by paired t-test. The volume in the dogs'voices in each group after operation was significantly lower than that before operation. At this results we detected that devocalizing effect was the same in each group. Postoperative volume of dogs'voices in group 1 had a tendency to increaser but group 2 had a tendency to decrease. The number of erythrocytes at 2 days after operation was significantly fewer than those before operation in group 1, but the group 2 did not have significant changes. The number of leukocytes at 2 days after operation significantly increased from those before operation in group 11 but the group 2 did not have significant changes. It was concluded that the new surgical technique, fixation of vocal cords and vocal processes onto the thyroid cartilages could be available for the devocalization of dogs and for the prevention of postoperative inflammation and blood loss.

This study developed the black liquor evaporation process models using the multiple-effect-evaporator according to the number of effects to predict steam consumption. The developed models were divided into the black liquor preheating and evaporation processes, and a virtual reboiler was added to predict steam consumption. In simulation results, the steam consumption in the double-effect-evaporator was decreased by 48.9 %, and as the number of effects increased, the steam consumption was decreased. Finally, the steam consumption in the octuple-effect-evaporator was decreased by 61.2 %. Also, this study suggests a strategy for deriving the optimal number of effects in the process by analyzing the latent heat recovered from the saturated vapor produced in the multiple-effect-evaporator and the amount of saturated vapor produced by each effect.
