In order to design the products that impression or emotional taste influence the purchase, feedback is necessary as useful data for better idea sketches through users emotional evaluation in early stage of design process. On the other hand, it was required to make judgments individually in previous image evaluations for emotional evaluations such as semantic differential method (SD method) that objects have been considered as classified tendency. However those SD methods are not enough to reflect flexible human capability with similarity judgment in object perceptual process. Therefore, this study proposes a classification of stimulus based on intuitive judgment and a hierarchical image evaluation method based on analysis of hierarchical process and fuzzy integration. The evaluation will be conducted through the order of process, intuitive classification of objective stimulus and items, definition of representatives in each class. Evaluation for each image of the stimulus, calculation of prior raking based on fuzzy integration. The evaluation supportive software is developed to conduct this evaluation process under interactive environments.

Recently, the noise of vehicle is the one of the key factors for customers to purchase a vehicle and the most important part which is related to the noise is the exhaust system. Thus, car makers have their own ways to assess this exhaust noise not only to decrease the level of noise but to enhance the feeling of it. Typically, to do these things in the early stage of development, the tuning code of the exhaust system has to be made by CAE tool, which is very reliable but expensive, and the prototype parts of this code would be made for the validation test. Then this process can be iterated to meet the target of the performance. In this study, a new algorithm which adapts the '3 dimensional convective sound wave theory 'and 'Doppler effect' has been developed. With this new algorithm, a brand new system for the calculation of tail pipe noise has been developed and validated by acoustic wind tunnel test. As a result of this study, various comparisons and have been carried out, for example, the comparison with other CAE tool has been performed for the validity and the improvement of the new calculation code could be achieved.

This paper proposes a regeneration inverter system, which can regenerate the excessive power form do bus line to ac source for traction system. The proposed regeneration inverter system for dc traction can reduce harmonics which are included to ac current source. The regeneration inverter is operated as two modes. In the regeneration inverter mode, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating tractions and in the active power filter mode, it can compensate harmonic distortion produced by the rectifier substation. In this paper, the regeneration inverter uses PWM DC/AC inverter algorithm and the active power filter uses p-q theory. From the informative simulation and experimental results, which are performed wiith a prototype rated 3.7[kw], it can expected that the proposed system can be effectively applied in the real traction system rated 100[kw].

Categorization in a vital means for dealing with the multitudes of entities in the world surrounding people. Among others, the perceptual and the evaluative similarities factors strongly affect categorization. The conventional SD-type procedure are insufficient in this regard, since it requires an individual subject to make isolated judgments about each stimulus to identify categorization in terms of a group tendency. It disregards the individual categorization in which the similarities are of great importance. Thus in this study the phased emotional evaluation method is suggested based on the intuitive categorization of stimuli and on the similarity judgement of representative/ non-representative case in each category. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested evaluation method the scanned jewelry images are selected as test stimuli for emotional evaluation experiment. As a result of the evaluation experiment, the conventional SD-type procedure is complemented by the emotional evaluation method in phases of the task of intuitive categorization, the selection of the representative images and the setup of the evaluation score of the representative images to internally supplied anchors of evaluating non-representative images.

An MPI Checkpointer is a tool which provides fault-tolerance through checkpointing The previous researches related to the MPI checkpointer have focused on automatic checkpointing and recovery capabilities, but they haven't considered portability issues. In this paper, we discuss design and implementation issues considered for portability when we developed an MPI checkpointer called STFT. In order to increase portability, firstly STFT supports the abstraction interface for a single process checkpointer. Secondly, STFT uses a user-based checkpointing method, and limits possible checkpointing places a user can make. Thirdly, STFT lets the MPI_Init create network connections to the other MPI processes in a fixed order. With these features, we expect STFT can be easily adaptable to various platforms and MPI implementations, and confirmed STFT is easily adaptable to LAM and MPICH/P4 with the prototype Implementation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological hierarchy structure of science concepts and to determine the effective teaching order by comparing the teaching effects of the psychological hierarchy order with those of teaching order of the current text in order to inquire validating evaluation framework of science curriculum sequence. Key concepts were selected by tasks analysis in the seven units of elementary and secondary school curriculum. Concept formation tests were developed to evaluate each concepts achievement,. The test items were made according to each of the concepts based on 12 prototype tasks developed by Frayer(1969). To identify the students' psychological hierarchy the test items were administrated to elementary and secondary school students. Ordering theory was used to identify the students' psychological hierarchy. Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used in this study as an experimental design. Teaching with psychological hierarchy order was applied tp experimental group and teaching with concept order described in the current text was applied to control group. The major results of this study are as followings: 1. The students' psychological hierarchy structures are different from logical hierarchy structures. 2. The science teachers' psychological hierarchy structures are different from not only logical hierarchy structures but also students' psychological hierarchy structures. 3. The mean score of experimental group applied psychological hierarchy order is significantly higher(p<.05) than the control group in the concept achievement.

Die Arbeit versucht, den Textbegriff aus prototypentheoretischer Sicht neu zu orientieren. Damit wird unter Text immer eine monologisch geschriebene sprachliche $\"{A}u{\ss}erung$ aus mehreren $S\"{a}tzen$ verstanden. Die in de Beaugrande/Dressler(l98l) als wichtig bezeichnete Textmerkmale wird dann in Bezug auf Vater(1992), $L\"{o}tscher(1987)$ und Klein/von Stutterheim (1991) kritisch $gekl\"{a}rt$. Daraus ergibt sich eine merkmalsorientierte Textbestimmung: Ein Text ist eine abgeschlossene themenorientierte kommunikative Einheit in einem konkreten Kontext; er hat eine bestimmte kommunikative Funktion und $erf\"{u}llt\;koh\"{a}rente$ Bedingungen. Meine These ist: Typische Texte sind auf Mustern, $n\"{a}mlich$ auf Prototypen bezogen. Textmuster sind als Prototypen bezeichnet, die in unterschiedlichem $Ma\ss\;Spielraum\;f\"{u}r\;Variationen\;und\;Kreativit\"{a}t$ lassen. Textmuster sind zu beschreiben $\"{u}ber$ das Zusammenspiel von nichtsprachlichem Handlungstyp und sprachlicher Textsorte. Dieses Zusammenspiel yon Handlungsaspekten wird in prototypischer Weise mit bestimmten Textmerkmalen verbalisiert. Mit Textmusterbeschreibungen werden jeweils prototypische Exemplare beschrieben: die beste Exemplare, die klar als solehe erkennbar sind. Die Formulierung 'Es war einmal....'. ist $f\"{u}r\M\"{a}rchen$ zwar prototypische Anfangsform, aber sie wird nur in etwa einem drittel der $F\"{a}lle$ verwendet. Prototypische Textmustermerkmale sind also nicht obligatorisch. Das $hei{\ss}t$, dass die Realiseirungen je nach individueller bzw. kultureller Situation und damit verfolgtem Zweck variabel sind Damit habe ich mich am Beispiel der Textsorte $besch\"{a}ftigt$.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop and to evaluate a internet-based social support program for the mothers of congenitally abnormal children. The theoretical basis of the study is the moderating effect model of social support theory (Cobb, 1976). Methods: In first phase, an internet support program was developed according to the practical web development stages proposed by Boling and Frick (2002). In the second phase, the internet support program was provided and evaluated to 18 mothers who reared congenitally abnormal children from March to May 2008. Results: In the first stage, demands of the program were collected from interviews of eighteen mothers of congenitally abnormal children of ages one to three. At the same time, literature review and validity of the contents were also examined. In the second stage, the correspondence of the program contents to the social support needed was also examined. In the third and fourth stages, prototype of the social program was prepared in documents and that of computer program was prepared. In the final stage, an internet-based web site was constructed. The social support provided by the web site were composed of informational support, emotional support and appraisal support including bulletin board system and chatting service. After program development, pre-tests and post-test were performed to investigate the effect of the program on maternal confidence and mood. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The analysis showed that maternal confidence of post-test was improved than that of pre-test with statistically meaningful figure (Z=-2.54, p<.05). The positive mood of post-test was also improved than that of pre-test and the result was statistically supported (Z=-2.20, p<.05). Conclusion: It is suggestive that the internet based social support programs is accessible and appropriate service to congenitally abnormal children's mother. It is necessary to develop and use the internet based social support programs in public health system.

This Paper presents an efficient hybrid techniques for a standard cell placement. The prototype tool adopts a middle-down methodology in which an n${\times}$m grid is imposed over the layout area and cells are assigned to bins forming a global placement. The optimization technique applied in this phase is based on the Relaxation-Based Local Search (RBLS) framework [12］in which a combinatorial search mechanism is driven by an analytical engine. This enables a more global view of the problem and results in complex modifications of the placement in a single search“move.”Details of this approach including a novel placement legalization procedure are presented. When a global placement converges, a detailed placement is formed and further optimized by the optimal interleaving technique[13］. Experimental results on MCNC benchmarking circuits are presented and compared with the Feng Shui's results in［14］. Solution Qualifies are almost the same as the Feng Shui's results.

Pedestrians perceive differently from the sideway views or the exteriors of the buildings on the way to their destinations. Therefore, the navigation experience can become much different when the path was chosen based on the individual's preference from it is not. By focusing on the effects of the individual pedestrian' path choice on their navigation, this paper presents an algorithm designed for pedestrians to be able to explore their preferred path and proposes a prototype of navigation system based on the algorithm. The navigation support system searches for the best path upon their individual preferences and information of the destination. The system provides the process of retrieving the final path via the pedestrian-support system interaction. The path retrieval is peformed with the combinational matrix of keywords that are formulates Fuzzy theory from the correlations between the terms describing preferences used in the path preference survey. This paper presents the potentials of the path finding method tailored to pedestrians' preferences by a simulation of the proposed path retrieval algorithm.
