This study was to analyze important dimensions and its factors of micro level of e-learning determining the quality of e-learning. E-learning dimensions and their factors were identified and developed from the analytical review of related researches. From literature review and survey as well as expert interview, six categories of e-learning identified from this study were: 1) curriculum content, 2) usability, 3) instructional design, 4) evaluation -both process and results, 5) management, and 6) refinement and improvement. A total of thirty-seven factors determining the quality of the e-learning six categories were identified. The rank order and contribution rates for each categories and factors were calculated to explain how importantly they contribute to the quality of e-learning. Also three dimensions such as controlling the e-learning quality, e-learning fundamental dimension e-learning process dimension, and e-learning product dimension, were explained. This study suggests a useful guidance for e-learning quality and evaluation framework for better results.

Cost reduction, time to market, and quality improvement of software product are critical issues to the software companies which try to survive in recent competitive market environments. Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is one of the approaches to address these issues. The goal of software product line is to maximize the software reuse and achieve the best productivity with the minimum cost. In software product line, software components are classified into the common and variable modules for composition work. In this paper, we proposed a dynamic composition process based on aspect-oriented programming methodology in which software requirements are classified into the core-concerns and cross-cutting concerns, and then assembled into the final software product. It enables developers to concentrate on the core logics of given problem, not the side-issues of software product such as transactions and logging. We also proposed useful composition patterns based on aspect oriented programming paradigm. Finally, we implemented a prototype of the proposed process using Java and Aspect to show the proposed approach's feasibility. The scenario of the prototype is based on the embedded analysis software of telecommunication devices.

The purpose of this study was to increase product reliability by improving the durability of the breech block for a 30mm Automatic Gun. The breech block is a key component of a gun that functions as chambering, closing, and extracting. The breech block requires high reliability, which needs to be improved because cracks of a breech block can occur early in operation. Cause analysis confirmed that the crack is caused by repeated impacts. Therefore, the following improvement measures were studied, and the effects were demonstrated using a firing test. The energy of impact absorption was increased by changing the material, and the stress concentration was mitigated by increasing the value of R. In addition, the fatigue life was increased by adding Shot-peening, deleting chromium plating, and changing the forging method. The firing test did not show firing trouble for up to 5,000 rounds. The start timing of the crack was delayed, and the depth was small. Therefore, the improved product was more durable than the existing product. This study can be used as a useful reference when assessing the improvement of the durability of similar products, life study, and criteria for crack acceptance.

Emerging three-dimensional television (3DTV) as a new IT product shows a possibility that television is not for just watching broadcasting, but an attractive tool for applying it to our real life. Three dimensional television is generally more effective and attractive than two-dimensional television (2DTV). But it still needs continuous technological improvement to solve its inherent limitations until many customers decide to purchase 3DTVs without hesitation. Innovative products like 3DTV encounter a quality problem leading purchase decision by customers. Quality is regarded as one of the most important factors affecting customers to adopt and use the product. Furthermore, measuring quality effectively is considerable for the 3DTV research. In this paper, we suggest the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method for evaluating 3DTVs in a view of quality. We describe quality criteria affecting the 3DTV selection through a literature survey and develope an analytical method for measuring quality. We classify the quality of 3DTV into four types and suggest a concept of the quality ratio as a measurement criteria instead of the quality gap. Though a numerical example, we show how priorities of 3DTV with versatile manufacturers is computed.

Even though the woollen-yarn-making process as a whole has received much attention from customers in recent years, but yet there exist many problems to improve quality, productivity, and working environment in a small-medium woollen-yarn manufacture. To achieve the aim for improvement of quality and productivity, we have performed a period of education and training for workers. And thus this paper reports a study carried out them in the company located in near Pusan. Also, this paper describes a study how has a small-medium company introduced the education for the workers by authors. Among the possible outcome of this study is that the company does encounter considerable difficulties in the education and training. But to improve the quality and productivity, we assert that the company has to overcome these courses. We all recognize that the employer has been prepared for education and training to improve the employees' working conditions for a long time.

Purpose - This paper studies the welfare impacts of behavior-based price discrimination (BBPD) when firms are asymmetric in quality improvement costs. Design/methodology/approach - To this end, we consider a differentiated duopoly model with an inherited market share, where firms first make quality decisions and then compete in prices according to the pricing scheme, namely, uniform pricing or BBPD. Findings - We show that BBPD increases social welfare relative to uniform pricing if the firms' cost gap is large enough. This is because BBPD induces more consumers to buy a high-quality product than under uniform pricing, and because a low-cost firm's profit loss from BBPD decreases as the cost difference increases. Research implications or Originality - Our analysis offers policy implications for markets where BBPD raises antitrust concerns, and quality competition prevails.
