In mobile device's user interface, menu organization is very important as well as menu structure because small display of mobile device. Menu items should be organized based on user knowledge structure to design user-centered interface. Traditionally, MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) have been most often used to expose users' perceived organization of menu items. But, information that MDS reveals is just relative spatial location of concepts and not relevant to concepts connection. Unlike MDS, Trajectory Mapping explicitly finds users' cognitive links between perceived concepts. This study proposes a Trajectory Mapping technique for eliciting knowledge structure, especially a set of cognitive pathways linking menu items, from end user. With twelve participants, MDS and Trajectory Mapping were conducted using cellular phone's menu items. And user knowledge structure was analyzed through Visual Concept Map that combination of results of MDS and Trajectory Mapping. After then, menu items were organized according to users' perceived organization. Empirical usability test was also conducted. The results of usability test showed that usability, in terms of task performance time, number of errors, and satisfaction, for newly organized interface was significantly improved compare to original interface. The methodology of this study is expected to be applicable to design a user-centered interface. In other words, Trajectory Mapping technique can be used as a design tool of user interface for imposing user knowledge structure on the interface.

연구는 초등학교 저학년과 고학년, 학부모로 구성된 어린이 도서관 이용자들 200여명이 인지하는 별치 자료간 희망 인지 거리를 다차원척도법(Multi-Dimensional Scaling: MDS)과 K-means 군집분석을 활용해 비교 분석하고 이들의 인지 거리가 실제 어린이 도서관에 어떻게 투영되어 있는지 몇 가지 사례를 통하여 검토해 보았다. 다차원척도법은 분석 대상의 유사성이나 속성 등을 평가하여 공간상에 투영시키는 기법으로 마케팅에서 주로 시장 진단을 위해 활용되지만, 제품이나 시설에 대한 이용자의 인지적 거리를 분석하여 이상적인 물리적 배치 방안을 제시하는 데에도 적용할 수 있다. 분석 결과, 별치 자료간 인지 거리에 있어 초등학교 저학년과 고학년 그리고 학부모 집단간에 각각 차이가 나타났으며, 특히 유 아동자료와 컴퓨터자료 그리고 유아자료와 아동자료간의 인지 거리에 있어 큰 차이가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, Y구의 3개 어린이도서관을 대상으로 분석된 인지 거리 체계가 어떻게 투영되어 있는지 확인해 본 결과, 특정 집단의 인지 체계에 완벽히 부합하는 공간 구조를 지닌 도서관은 존재하지 않았으나, 공통적으로 유 아동자료와 컴퓨터자료, 그리고 유아자료와 아동자료가 분리 배치되어 있다는 점에서 학부모와 초등학생들의 인지 거리가 부분적으로 투영되어 있는 것으로 검토되었다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the types of apparel usage situations percieved by female consumers. Data (N=132) were collected via a questionnaire developed on the focused stoup interviews and previous studies. By multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis, two dimensions of perceptual criteria on apparel usage situations are identified: formality, and normative aspects of apparel style. Results indicate that apparel usage situations perceived by female consumers can be classified into four major types: (1) Formal-Normative Situations, (2) Informal-Normative Situations, (3) Informal-Normless Situations, and (4) Formal-Normless Situations.

The global coordinates generated from Isomap algorithm provide a simple way to analyze and manipulate high dimensional observations in terms of their intrinsic nonlinear degrees of freedom. Thus, Isomap can find globally meaningful coordinates and nonlinear structure of complex data sets, while neither principal component analysis (PCA) nor multidimensional scaling (MDS) are successful in many cases. It is demonstrated that the adapted Isomap algorithm successfully enhances the quality of pattern classification for damage identification in various numerical examples.

The objective of this study was to assess genetic diversity among 6 different wild ginseng populations from New York, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia, and to compare these wild populations to one cultivated population. RAPD markers were used to estimate the genetic difference among samples from the 7 populations. The 64 random primers were screened, and 15 primers were selected which exhibited the 124 highly reproducible polymorphic markers. The ratio of discordant bands to total bands scored was used to estimate the genetic distance within and among populations. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) of the relation matrix showed distinctive separation between wild and cultivated populations. The MDS result was confirmed using pooled chi-square tests for fragment homogeneity. This study suggests that RAPD markers can be used as population-specific markers for American ginseng.

The purposes of this study were to identify the brand positioning of children's wear according to fashion life style and to construct brand positioning maps by using multidimensional scaling (MDS). A total of 222 responses were collected from married women aged 25 to 35 through questionnaire. Cluster analysis on fashion life style factors identified three groups: Fashion Indifference group (34%), Fashion & Individuality Oriented group (27%) and Rationality Oriented group (37%). ANOVA revealed significant differences among the three groups on the six fashion life style factors. MDS analysis showed that three segmented groups evaluated nine children's wear brand for seven attributes(color, design, price, utility, quality, brand name, fashion).

The cluster analysis on the distribution of epiphytic lichens on the north, south, east and west slope of Mt. Hanra was carried out by three methods, sum of square algorithm (SSA), prinicipal component analysis (PCA) and multidimensional scaling method(MDS). Analysis of concentration (AOC) was used for the comparison between the lichen communities of north and south slope. The lichen species was identified 35 species by Hale and Culberson technique. The classification of sites by SSA method was divided into two areas in four slopes, and that of species by SSA, PCA and MDS methods was classified into three clusters in east slope, four clusters in south and west slope, and there clusters in north slope. The comparison between north and south slope of the distribution of lichens indicates that loight elevation of north slope (NH; 1600m~1900m) was similar to that of relative low elevation of south slope (SL; 1000m~1300m). The genus lichen, Anaptychia, Parmelia, Lobaria and peltigera was found as the dominant genus in both slopes.

To estimate the effects of limitation nutrients for phytoplankton growth and its influences on short-term variations of a winter phytoplankton community structure, we investigated the abiotic and biotic factors of surface and bottom waters at 20 stations of inner and offshore areas from 6 to 7 February in Gwangyang Bay, Korea. Also, several algal bio-assay studies were conducted to identify any additional nutrient effects on phytoplankton assemblage using surface water for the assay. The dominant species in the bay was diatom Skeletonema costatum, which occupied more than 70% of total species in most stations (St.1-16) of the inner bay. According to a cluster and multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis based on phytoplankton community data from each station, the bay was divided into three groups. The first group included stations from the south-western parts of Myodo lsland, which can be characterized as a semien-closed eutrophic area with high phytoplankton abundance. The second group included most stations from the north-eastern part of Myodo lsland, influenced indirectly by surface water currents from offshore of the bay. The standing phytoplankton crops were lower than those of the first group. The other cluster was restricted to samples collected from offshore of the bay. In the bay, silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P) were not a major limiting factor for phytoplankton production. However, since the DIN: DIP and DSi: DIN ratios clearly demonstrated that there were potential stoichiometric N limitations, nitrogen (N) was considered as a limiting factor. Based on the algal bio-assay, in vivo fluorescence values in N (+) added experiments were higher compared to control and P added experiments. Our results suggested that nitrogen may act as one of the most important factors in controlling primary production during winter in Gwangyang Bay.
