  • This study was an attempt to present an appropriate way of interpreting L2 learners' linguistic behavior within Universal Grammar (UG) framework. Based on the Korean EFL adult learners' performance on the Subjacency violation sentences, the study suggested that the EFL learners are able to acquire subtle knowledge of target grammar and their linguistic behavior should be interpreted with the most recent version of UG theory, the Minimalist Program (MP) notion. The MP notion seems more plausible to accommodate incomplete L2 grammar while acknowledging UG-constrained interlanguage which the previous version, Principles and Parameters (P&P) approach, could not explain very well. The study observed no age-effects among the Korean EFL learners in their linguistic competence measured by the performance on the UG-constraint violation sentences. Having suggested that the MP notion can be a more reasonable tool to explain the EFL learners' linguistic behavior, the study introduced comprehensive hypotheses such as Constructionist Model (CM) and the Ontogeny Phylogeny Model (OPM).

  • Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with oil palm frond (leaf) (OPF) with and without oil palm meal (OPM) on nutrient intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation and growth performance in goats. Methods: Six female crossbred goats were fed for 28 days of 3 diet treatments; 100% para-grass (T1); 50% para-grass + 50% OPF (T2), and 30% para-grass + 50% OPF + 20% OPM (T3). Body weight, rectal temperature, respiratory rate, and urine volume, food intake, dry matter intake and water intake were measured daily. Nutrient digestibility was determined from five consecutive days of last week in each diet. Ruminal fluid, urine and blood were collected at the end for determination of rumen protozoa and volatile fatty acid contents, urinary allantoin excretion, blood cell count and chemistry profiles. Results: Goats fed T2 and T3 showed higher dry matter and nutrients intakes while protein digestibility was suppressed compared with those for T1. Crude fat digestibility declined in T2 but maintained after adding the OPM (T3). High fat intake by giving OPF and OPM corresponded to a higher ruminal acetate/propionate ratio (C2/C3) and serum cholesterol level. An increased urinary allantoin/creatinine ratio was found in T2 and T3 compared with T1, implying an increased number of ruminal microbes. Conclusion: Increased dry matter intake in T2 and T3 suggested that oil palm by-products are partly useful as a replacement for para-grass in goats. Replacement with the by-products increased plasma cholesterol level, which suggested that these products are a useful energy source. Changes in rumen parameters suggested an increased microbial number and activity suitable for acetate production. However, the limited digestibility of protein implies that addition of high protein feeds may be recommended to increase body weight gain of goats.

  • Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed size is a important yield component and is a primary consideration in the development of cultivars for specialty markets. Our objective was to examine the consistency of QTLs for seed size across generations. A 68-plant F$_{2} segregation population derived from a mating between Marcury (small seed) and PI 467.468 (large seed) was evaluated with RAPD markers. In the F$_{2} plant generation (i.e. F$_{3} seed), three markers, OPL09a, OPM)7a, and OPAC12 were significantly (P<0.01) associated with seed size QTLs. In the F$_{2} ; F$_{3} generation (i.e., F$_{4} seed), four markers, OPA092, OPG19, OPL09b, and OPP11 were significantly (P<0.01) associated with seed size QTLs. Just two markers, OPL09a, and OPL09b were significantly (P<0.05) associated with seed size QTLs in both generations. The consistency of QTLs across generations indicates that marker-assisted selection for seed size is possible in a soybean breeding program.

  • Etching is one of the most important steps in semiconductor manufacturing. In etch process control a critical task is to stop the etch process when the layer to be etched has been removed. If the etch process is allowed to continue beyond this time, the material gets over-etched and the lower layer is partially removed. On the other hand if the etch process is stopped too early, part of the layer to be etched still remains, called under-etched. Endpoint detection (EPD) is used to detect the most accurate time to stop the etch process in order to avoid over or under etch. The goal of this research is to develop a hardware and software system for EPD. The hardware consists of an Optical Plasma Monitor (OPM) sensor which is used to continuously monitor the plasma optical emission intensity during the etch process. The OPM software was developed to acquire and analyze the data to perform EPD. Our EPD algorithm is based on the following theory. As the etch process starts the plasma generated in the vacuum is added with the by-products from the etch reactions on the layer being etched. As the endpoint reaches and the layer gets completely removed the plasma constituents change gradually changing the optical intensity of the plasma. Although the change in optical intensity is not apparent, the difference in the plasma constituents when the endpoint has reached leaves a unique signature in the data gathered. Though not detectable in time domain, this signature could be obscured in the frequency spectrum of the data. By filtering and analysis of the changes in the frequency spectrum before and after the endpoint we could extract this signature. In order to do that, first, the EPD algorithm converts the time series signal into frequency domain. Next the noise in the frequency spectrum is removed to look for the useful frequency constituents of the data. Once these useful frequencies have been selected, they are monitored continuously in time and using a sub-algorithm the endpoint is detected when significant changes are observed in those signals. The experiment consisted of three kinds of etch processes; ashing, SiO2 on Si etch and metal on Si etch to develop and evaluate the EPD system.

  • The major purpose of this study is to evaluate methodologies to predict the injury severity of pedestrian-vehicle collisions. Methodologies to be evaluated and compared in this study include Binary Logistic Regression(BLR), Ordered Probit Model(OPM), Support Vector Machine(SVM) and Decision Tree(DT) method. Valuable insights into applying methodologies to analyze the characteristics of pedestrian injury severity are derived. For the purpose of identifying causal factors affecting the injury severity, statistical approaches such as BLR and OPM are recommended. On the other hand, to achieve better prediction performance, heuristic approaches such as SVM and DT are recommended. It is expected that the outcome of this study would be useful in developing various countermeasures for enhancing pedestrian safety.

  • Warrants are often described as call potions written tv firms on their own stock. However, a call option is a pure side bet; i.e., none of the cash flows associated with the call's sale or exercise involves the firm. Issuing warrants on the other hand, can affect the firm's aggregate level of investment, composition of its capital structure. and the price of the stock on which warrant can be exercised. The problem of the warrant pricing can be solved by using of multivariate data analysis techniques, such as regression analysis or discriminant analysis, instead of OPM. The value of this approach is that we can evlauate the relative importance of each independent variable which affect a price of a warrant. This study empirically examines the Japanese warrant pricing by multiple regression analysis using a sample or 300 observations traded on Tokyo Stock Exchange during the periods between 1995 and 1996.

  • Reproducible the random amplified polymorphic DNAs(RAPDs) patterns were obtained in the two silkworm strains(J111, Galwon) by adjusting concentration optimized of Taq DNA polymerase(one unit), dNTP(200$\mu$M), MgCl2(1.5mM) and template DNA(30ng). In addition, anealing temperature ranging 35$^{\circ}C$ to 42$^{\circ}C$ by the adjusted condition was investigated and fixed at 35$^{\circ}C$ in this study. Variation among individuals and between male and female of Jam 113 strain was not authorized. DNA polymorhpisms among silkworms were authorized by five RAPD markers using OPM04 random primer. Using the primer showing polymorhpims between parents(J111, Galwon) in thirty three individuals, RAPD-PCR for F2 analysis was performed and segregated 3 : 1 in the F2 population. Consequently, RAPDs detected in the parents were obtained as genetic markers, which can be used for construction of genetic map for this industrially particular insect, silkworm Bombyx mori

  • In 1987, Computer Security Act was enacted, requiring computer security awareness and practical training for federal workforce. This is the beginning of US development of federal cybersecurity workforce. It has been strengthening the development of federal cybersecurity workforce policy by establishing OPM regulations and OMB circulation in cases where it is difficult to define by law. Through GISRA 2000 and FISMA 2002, which has been improved, it played a central role for development of federal cybersecurity workforce for more than 10 years. Since then, FISMA 2014 has been enacted as a necessity for supplementing technology and policy. In 2014, the importance of cyber security personnel in US federal agencies has been increased even more, by enacting a single law on cybersecurity workforce twice. We will review the current state of Korea's development of cybersecurity workforce by reviewing and analyzing the development and federal cybersecurity workforce in the United States.

  • This study investigated the antioxidant activity of onion peels extracted from onion byproducts by hot water treatment. Hot water extraction of freeze dried onion peel powder was analyzed for total polyphenol content, 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picryllhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ehtylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities, reducing power, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Total polyphenol content was the highest (233.90 mg/g) in onion peel extract mix with ethanol (OPME-1). The DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$), reducing power, and ORAC obtainbed from onion peel extract mix with ethanol precipitation (OPMPE-1) were the highest at 1.15 mg/mL, 1.69 $A_{700}$, and $318,509{\mu}M\;TE/mL$, respectively. The ABTS radical scavenging activity was the highest at 432.78 mg amino acids (AA) eq/g in the OPM. The results of this study suggest that onion peel extracts have marked antioxidant activity, which can have significant health benefits.
