Continuous, discrete and semi continuous HMM systems are used for the speech recognition. Discrete systems have the advantage of low run-time computation. However, vector quantization reduces accuracy and this can lead to poor performance. Continuous systems let us get good correctness but they need much calculation so that occasionally they are unable to be used for practice. Although there are semi-continuous systems which apply advantage of continuous and discrete systems, they also require much computation. In this paper, we proposed the way which reduces calculation for continuous systems. The proposed method has the same computational load as discrete systems but can give better recognition accuracy than discrete systems.

This study is to apply a goal-directed model for ethical consumption behavior and to see which factors influence consumers' boycott intention. We identify factors related to a goal-directed model for consumers, level of ethical consumption tendency, and boycott desire; in addition, factors that affect boycott intentions were also analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, consumers' boycott intentions are not high and public intention motivation is relatively low. Second, negative anticipated emotion shows an indirect effect with boycott desire as a mediator. Third, ethical consumption tendency has a significant effect on boycott desire and boycott intention. Therefore, we have to let consumers know that boycott actually shows a consumer's right and that it is also necessary to conduct various ethical consumption education.

The purpose of this study is to determine priorities for designing digital citizenship education based on the key indicators of importance-performance. Survey data were collected from 283 university students in South Korea and analyzed with Importance-Performance Analysis to diagnose the current level of digital citizenship and draw their needs for educational treatment. The results showed that for all the factors except the Technical Skills (TS), the level of importance was significantly higher than that of performance. Another finding indicated that in the Importance-Performance matrix all the factors were located in the first quadrant (i.e. maintaining the current state) and the third quadrant (i.e. low demands for improvement). Specifically, two items located in the second quadrant where urgent treatment is required could have to do with the increasingly active participation in socio-political issues raised in South Korea. This study offered a window into what to focus on when designing digital citizenship education based on the systematic analysis of the needs for digital citizenship education in South Korea.

By analyzing the structure of the currently used Lead Tab tape structure, the outermost layer, low-temperature fusion functionalized olefin, was composed of pp base. To determine whether this could be used as the outermost layer of tab tape, the adhesive strength to metal foils such as copper and aluminum was measured and the adhesive strength was compared with commercially available functionalized olefin. When chlorine was grafted onto PP among the PP used in the composition, the average adhesive strength was similar to that of commercially available LT200T and superior to RE140R and LE320V. The maximum adhesive strength exceeded that of LE200T. When it comes to solvents, xylene has been shown to be better than any other. Physical methods such as substitution of other monomers, switching of additives or let-down hardly changed the adhesion of grafted PP, and the selection of PP is an important factor in preparing functional polymers.

원통 다발형 그레인의 연소시험 결과 저주파 불안정 현상이 나타났다. 그 원인은 원통 그레인 내면의 압력과 외면의 압력차(압력 비평형)가 주원인임을 알 수 있었으며, 그레인 반경방향으로 홀을 뚫어 그레인 내면에 상승된 압력을 외면으로 빠르게 확산되도록 하여 안정된 연소현상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 고온 조건에서도 안정된 연소 현상을 얻기 위하여 직경 3mm 흘 7개를 뚫게 됨에 따라 가스발생량의 증가가 많이 둔화되어 격자를 사용하는 방법을 연구하게 되었다. 격자를 사용함으로써 큰 와류(large vorticity)를 소멸시켜 그레인에 홀을 뚫지 않고도 안정된 연소를 얻을 수 있었으며 가스 발생량도 점진적으로 증가시킬 수 있었다. 가로${\times}$세로 격자는 5${\times}$5, 그레인은 격자에 고정시키지 않을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Biological mechanisms for ionizing radiation effects are different at low doses than at high doses. Radiation hormesis involves low-dose-induced protection and high-dose-induced harm. The protective component is associated with a reduction in the incidence of cancer below the spontaneous frequency, brought about by activation of defensive and repair processes. The Linear No-Threshold (LNT) hypothesis advocated by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the Biological Effects of ionizing Radiation (BEIR) Report VII for cancer risk estimations Ignores hormesis and the presence of a threshold. Cancer incidences significantly less than expected have been found in a large number of epidemiological studies including, airline flight personnel, inhabitants of high radiation backgrounds, shipyard workers, nuclear site workers in scores of locations throughout the world, nuclear power utility workers, plutonium workers, military nuclear test site Participants, Japanese A-bomb survivors, residents contaminated by major nuclear accidents, residents of Taiwan living in $^{60}Co$ contaminated buildings, fluoroscopy and mammography patients, radium dial painters, and those exposed to indoor radon. Significantly increased cancer was not found at doses <200 $mSv^*$. Evidence for radiation hormesis was seen in both sexes for acute or chronic exposures, low or high LET radiations, external whole- or partial body exposures, and for internal radionuclides. The ubiquitous nature of the Healthy Worker Effect (HWE)-like responses in cellular, animal and epidemiological studies negates the HWE as an explanation for radiation hormesis. The LNT hypothesis is wrong and does not represent the true nature of the dose-response relationship, since low doses or dose-rates commonly result in thresholds and reduce cancer incidences below the spontaneous rate. Radiation protection organizations should seriously consider the cost and health implications of radiation hormesis.

In this paper, we describe an implementation of small mobile robot that can be used at research and application of mobile sensor networking. This robot that will constitute the sensor network, as a platform of multi-robot system for each to be used as sensor node, has to satisfy restrictions in many aspects in order to perform sensing, communication protocol, and application algorithms. First, the platform must be designed with a robust structure and low power consumption since its maintenance after deployment is difficult. Second, it must have flexibility and modularity to be used effectively in any structure so that it can be used in various applications. Third, it must support the technique of wireless network for ubiquitous computing environment. At last, to let many nodes be scattered, it must be cost-effective and small. Considering the above restrictions of the mobile platform for sensor network, we designed and implemented robots control the current of actuator by using additional circuit for power efficiency. And we chose MSP430 as MCU, CC2420 as RF transceiver, and etc, that have the strength in the aspect of power. For flexibility and modularity, the platform has expansion ports. The results of experiments are described to show that this robot can act as sensor node by RF communication process with Zigbee standard protocol, execute the navigation process with simple obstacle avoidance and the moving action with RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), operate at low-power, and be made with approx. $100.

저전력 블루투스 통신의 가장 큰 한계점은 데이터 전송이 두 노드 사이의 싱글 홉 통신에서만 이루어질 수 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 스타 토폴로지를 고려하여 설계된 블루투스 통신의 한계를 보완하기 위해, 안정적인 멀티홉 데이터 전송을 보장하는 방법을 제안하였다. 싱글 홉 형태의 통신이 연속적으로 맺고 끊어져야 하는 멀티홉 환경에서의 안정성을 보장하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 GATT 계층에 정보를 저장하고 이를 동적으로 전달하는 방식을 시도하였다. 여러 노드들에 대한 통신 안정성을 보장하기 위해 전체 과정을 4개의 State로 나누어 해당 과정에서 전송 프로세스의 주요과정을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 각 State에 대한 체류 시간 및 이동 루틴을 설정하여 강건한 통신 체제를 설정하였고, 성능을 실제 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 실제 실험 환경을 통해 해당 방법이 3개 이상의 노드로 이루어진 네트워크에서 각각 높은 품질의 패킷 전송률을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate expression of mRNAs in many biological pathways. Liver plays an important role in the feed efficiency of animals and high and low efficient cattle demonstrated different gene expression profiles by microarray. Here we report comprehensive miRNAs profiles by next-gen deep sequencing in Angus cattle divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) and identify miRNAs related to feed efficiency in beef cattle. Two microRNA libraries were constructed from pooled RNA extracted from livers of low and high RFI cattle, and sequenced by Illumina genome analyser. In total, 23,628,103 high quality short sequence reads were obtained and more than half of these reads were matched to the bovine genome (UMD 3.1). We identified 305 known bovine miRNAs. Bta-miR-143, bta-miR-30, bta-miR-122, bta-miR-378, and bta-let-7 were the top five most abundant miRNAs families expressed in liver, representing more than 63% of expressed miRNAs. We also identified 52 homologous miRNAs and 10 novel putative bovine-specific miRNAs, based on precursor sequence and the secondary structure and utilizing the miRBase (v. 21). We compared the miRNAs profile between high and low RFI animals and ranked the most differentially expressed bovine known miRNAs. Bovine miR-143 was the most abundant miRNA in the bovine liver and comprised 20% of total expressed mapped miRNAs. The most highly expressed miRNA in liver of mice and humans, miR-122, was the third most abundant in our cattle liver samples. We also identified 10 putative novel bovine-specific miRNA candidates. Differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI cattle were identified with 18 miRNAs being up-regulated and 7 other miRNAs down-regulated in low RFI cattle. Our study has identified comprehensive miRNAs expressed in bovine liver. Some of the expressed miRNAs are novel in cattle. The differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI give some insights into liver miRNAs regulating physiological pathways underlying variation in this measure of feed efficiency in bovines.
