  • The Korean wave has become a global phenomenon whose effect has been widely studied in Asia, Europe and the US. However the presumption of cultural distance makes it appear unlikely that the Korean wave could gain traction among African consumers of cultural products. As such, a dearth of evidence exists on the effects of the wave in Africa. This paper examines the effect of the wave in East African countries employing both descriptive and Probit model analyses. The results show that, contrary to conventional beliefs, most Africans surveyed perceive value proximity with Korea through the values conveyed in Korean dramas, movies and music. Confucius values, such as filial piety, family love and respect for the elderly are the most appealing to the East African audience. Importantly, contact with Korean wave contents contributes to the respondents' disposition to form favorable attitude towards Korea. The African consumers of Korea's cultural products are equally likely to purchase other Korean commercial products. These results remotely suggest that Hallyu may be a tool for advancing Korea's soft power towards Africa and could generate positive economic externalities.

  • Suppression of the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of NbN thin films in superconductor/ferromagnet multilayers has been investigated. Both superconducting NbN and ferromagnetic FeN layers were deposited on thermally oxidized Si substrate at room temperature by using reactive magnetron sputtering in an $Ar-N_2$ gas mixture. The thickness of FeN films was fixed at 20 nm, while the thickness of NbN films was varied from 3 nm to 90 nm. $T_c$ suppression was clearly observed in NbN layers up to 70 nm thickness when NbN layer was in proximity with FeN layer. For a given thickness of NbN layer, the magnitude of $T_c$ suppression was increased in the order of Si/FeN/NbN, Si/NbN/FeN, and Si/FeN/NbN/FeN structure. This result can be used to design a spin switch whose operation is based on the proximity effect between superconducting and ferromagnetic layers.

  • We propose optical proximity corrections (OPCs) for digital micromirror device (DMD)-based maskless lithography. A pattern writing scheme is analyzed and a theoretical model for obtaining the dose distribution profile and resulting structure is derived. By using simulation based on this model we were able to reduce the edge placement error (EPE) between the design width and the critical dimension (CD) of a fabricated photoresist, which enables improvement of the CD. Moreover, by experiments carried out with the parameter derived from the writing scheme, we minimized the corner-rounding effect by controlling light transmission to the corners of a feature by modulating a DMD.

  • In this study, we developed textile proximity sensor using conductive textile to develop a Medication adherence management system. The textile proximity sensor utilizes the principle of the capacitor, and the ring type sensor used to reduce the fringe-effect. When take medicines, we made a custom PCB that converts the change of the data measured by the sensor into a digital value so that transmitted the PC. In order to compare the performance of the system, we evaluated the correlation between the data variation according to the quantity of pills in the electronic compact scale and the data in this system. As a result, Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.956(p<0.01), confirmed a good correlation between the scale and our system. Therefore, we concluded that our system evaluated able to whether or not to take medication.

  • The influencing factors on the OPC (optical proximity correction) results are quantitatively analyzed using OPCed L/S patterns. ${\sigma}$ values of proximity variations are measured to be 9.3 nm and 15.2 nm for PR-A and PR-B, respectively. The effect of post exposure bake condition is assessed. 16.2 nm and 13.8 nm of variations are observed. Proximity variations of 11.6 nm and 15.2 nm are measured by changing the illumination condition. In order not to seriously deteriorate the OPC, these factors should be fixed after the OPC rules are extracted. Proximity variations of 11.4, 13.9, and 15.2 nm are observed for the mask mean-to-targets of 0, 2 and 4 nm, respectively. The decrease the OPC grid size from 1 nm to 0.5 nm enhances the correction resolution and the OCV is reduced from 14.6 nm to 11.4 nm. The enhancement amount of proximity variations are 9.2 nm corresponding to 39% improvement. The critical dimension (CD) uniformity improvement for adopting the small grid size is confirmed by measuring the CD uniformity on real SRAM pattern. CD uniformities are measured 9.9 nm and 8.7 nm for grid size of 1 nm and 0.5 nm, respectively. 22% improvement of the CD uniformity is achieved. The decrease of OPC grid size is shown to improve not only the proximity correction, but also the uniformity.

  • 이 연구에서는 과제의 유용가치가 상황적 흥미와 재참여 의지에 미치는 영향이 자기효능감 수준에 따라 다르게 나타나는지 살펴보고자 유용가치를 단기 유용가치(proximal utility)와 장기 유용가치(distal utility)로 각각 구분하여 비교하였다. 연구 1에서는 대학생을 대상으로 연산 과제에 대한 유용가치의 시간적 근접성과 자기효능감의 상호작용이 흥미유발에 미치는 효과를 살펴본 결과, 자기효능감이 높을수록 장기적인 유용가치가 흥미 유발에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 연구 2에서는 대학생과 발달적으로 차이가 있으며 학습 환경에서 수학이 필수적인 요소인 고등학생을 대상으로 교실학습 상황에서 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 대학생과 마찬가지로 자기효능감이 높을수록 장기적인 유용가치가 흥미 유발에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과들은 과제에 대한 상황적 흥미를 증진시키기 위해 유용가치를 제공하는 경우 시간적 근접성과 자기효능감을 함께 고려해야 한다는 점을 시사한다.

  • 본 연구는 손과 가까운 시각 정보의 처리적 특성이 과제전환에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 수행되었다. 최근 연구들은 손과 가깝게 제시된 정보에 대한 인지통제가 향상됨을 보고하고 있다. 이러한 인지통제 향상효과를 손 근접성과 주의의 관계를 통해 규명하고자 두 번의 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 과제전환 수행에서 단서와 목표자극의 감각양상에 따라 손 근접성의 효과가 달라짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 첫 번째 실험에서 손에 근접한 자극에 대한 전환비용의 감소가 관찰되었다. 선행 연구들에서 전환비용의 감소원인으로 지목되었던 특징결합 문제를 제외시켰을 경우에도 동일한 결과가 관찰되었다. 즉, 손 근접성이 전환비용을 감소시켰음을 검증할 수 있었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 손 근접성과 감각양상의 상호작용이 전환비용에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 수행되었다. 과제전환에서 목표자극은 시각으로 단서는 시각 또는 청각으로 제시하였고, 단서의 준비성 효과를 관찰하기 위해 단서-목표자극 간격을 조변하였다. 연구 결과 손에 근접한 시각 단서는 과제 준비 시간을 단축시켜 전환비용을 감소시켰으나, 청각 단서의 경우 손에 근접할 때 오히려 과제 준비 시간이 더 오래 걸렸다. 시각 단서의 결과는 손에 근접한 시각 정보에 대한 신속한 주의정향으로 인한 이득으로 설명될 수 있다. 반면에 청각 단서에서 나타난 손실은 청각 단서와 시각 자극 간의 감각 간 전환이 손 근접성의 주의 범위 고정 효과로 인해 방해된 결과로 해석될 수 있다. 마지막으로 손 근접성의 주의효과로 인해 달라지는 전환비용에 대해 논의하였다.

  • A new full scale testing apparatus generically named the Wall of Wind (WoW) has been built by the researchers at the International Hurricane Research Center (IHRC) at Florida International University (FIU). WoW is capable of testing single story building models subjected up to category 3 hurricane wind speeds. Depending on the relative model and WoW wind field sizes, testing may entail blockage issues. In addition, the proximity of the test building to the wind simulator may also affect the aerodynamic data. This study focuses on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) assessment of the effects on the quality of the aerodynamic data of (i) blockage due to model buildings of various sizes and (ii) wind simulator proximity for various distances between the wind simulator and the test building. The test buildings were assumed to have simple parallelepiped shapes. The computer simulations were performed under both finite WoW wind-field conditions and in an extended Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) wind flow. Mean pressure coefficients for the roof and the windward and leeward walls served as measures of the blockage and wind simulator proximity effects. The study uses the commercial software FLUENT with Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations and a Renormalization Group (RNG) k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The results indicated that for larger size test specimens (i.e. for cases where the height of test specimen is larger than one third of the wind field height) blockage correction may become necessary. The test specimen should also be placed at a distance greater than twice the height of the test specimen from the fans to reduce proximity effect.

  • In this paper, an iterative boundary element method (IBEM) was proposed to solve for a wing-in-ground (WIG) effect. IBEM is a fast and accurate method used in many different fields of engineering and in this work; it is applied to a fluid flow problem assessing a wing in ground proximity. The theory and the developed code are validated first with other methods and the obtained results with the proposed method are found to be encouraging. Then, time consumptions of the direct and iterative methods were contrasted to evaluate the efficiency of IBEM. It is found out that IBEM dominates direct BEM in terms of time consumption in all trials. The iterative method seems very useful for quick assessment of a wing in ground proximity condition. After all, a NACA6409 wing section in ground vicinity is solved with IBEM to evaluate the WIG effect.
