This paper is to develop a quality measure to evaluate the quality level of child care service in the regional level. By utilizing the biannual intensive child care statistical reports, ten variables are integrated and summarized as a quality measure for child care service in regional level by employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Conclusively, it is possible to get a comprehensive measure and the measure obtained from data between 2003 and 2008 illustrates the difference in child care service quality among regions over years. With the measure developed by this research, each region can also get very good insight into what kinds of factors of child care service should be paid more attention to in order to improve the quality of its child care service. Moreover, the measure obtained in this paper is proven reliable and robust in that it reflects the quality of child care service in each region and gives us statistically uniform quality scores with a different data set.

In this paper, the H1*-H2* measure is introduced and exact procedures for obtaining the H1*-H2* value are fully specified, The H1*-H2* measure (a corrected difference in dB between the first and second harmonics) has been devised to provide an acoustic correlate of the phonation mode of a vowel following a consonant. With this measure, we can investigate the phonation mode of a vowel that is free from the F1 amplitude perturbation effect caused by the preceding consonant, which is especially salient at the voicing onset position of the vowel. For identical research purposes, on the other hand, the H1-H2 measure (the observed difference in dB between the first and second harmonic) has been employed in many previous studies. This paper compares these two measures by illustrating experimental results of exploring post-release phonation modes of vowels following the different manner classes of stop consonants in Korean $\square$i.e., the tense, lenis, and aspirated stops.

The relations of fuzzy entropy, distance measure, and similarity measure are discussed in this paper. For the purpose of reliable signal selection, the fuzzy entropy is proposed by a distance measure. Properness of the proposed entropy is verified by the definition of the entropy measure. Fourier and Wavelet transform are applied to the stator current signal to obtain the fault features of an induction motor. Membership functions for 3-phase currents are obtained by the Bootstrap method and Central Limit Theorem. Finally, the proposed entropy is applied to measure the fault signal of an induction machine, and the fuzzy entropy values of phase currents are illustrated.

Cutler showed some duality results about Hausdorff and packing dimensions of a measure on a compact set in Euclidean space if its s-dimensional Hausdorff measure or packing measure is positive. We show that the similar results in a perturbed Cantor set hold according to its quasi s-dimensional Hausdorff measure or packing measure and we find concrete measures in this case while Cutler showed the existence of such measures. Finally under some strong condition, we give a concrete measure whose Hausdorff and packing dimensions are the same as those of the perturbed Cantor set without the condition that it has positive s-dimensional Hausdorff or packing measures.

Two measures of similarity between contours, the 1 st-order similarity measure and the 2nd-order similarity measure are proposed. They are based on the residual errors of the least squares fit. In particular, the 2nd-order similarity measure has a good reliability with respect to contours of many variations such as imperfection, affine transform or combination of these properties. By taking experiments of aircraft identification and recognition we show that in the matching performance the 2nd -order similarity measure is superior not only to the 1 st-order similarity measure but also to the previous matching techniques.

We define the centered-net covering and the centered-net parking measure and then show that the regular sets induced by the two centered measures are equal for $C{\frac}{\delta}{R}$ almost everywhere.

In this paper, we use the Patterson-Sullivan measure and results of [H] to show that for a nonelementary discrete group of divergence type, the conical limit set .LAMBDA.$_{c}$ has positive Patterson-Sullivan measure. The definition of the Patterson-Sullivan measure for groups of divergence type is reviewed in section 2. The Patterson-Sullivan measure can also be defined for groups of convergence type and the details for that case can be found in [N]. Necessary definitions and results from [H] are given in section 3, and in section 4, we prove our main result.t.

In this paper, we introduce concepts of entropy and similarity measure of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), discuss their relationship between similarity measure and entropy of IVIFSs, show that similarity measure and entropy of IVIFSs can be transformed by each other based on their axiomatic definitions and give some formulas to calculate entropy and similarity measure of IVIFSs.

In this paper, the characterization results related to Chernoff-type inequalities are applied for exponential-type (continuous and discrete) families. Upper variance bound is obtained here with a slightly different technique used in Alharbi and Shanbhag [1] and Mohtashami Borzadaran and Shanbhag [8]. Some results are shown with assuming measures such as non-atomic measure, atomic measure, Lebesgue measure and counting measure as special cases of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure. Characterization results on power series distributions via Chernoff-type inequalities are corollaries to our results.

Bearman's rotation theorem is not only very important in pure mathematics but also plays the key role for various research areas, related to Wiener measure. In 2002, the author and professor Im introduced the concept of analogue of Wiener measure, a kind of generalization of Wiener measure and they presented the several papers associated with it. In this article, we prove a formula on analogue of Wiener measure, similar to the formula in Bearman's rotation theorem.
