Applying the construct of country image this study examined city image for Daegu in Korea. Study 1 measured the city image for Daegu and Seoul, identified the city image dimensions, and compared the images of the two cities. Study 2 confirmed the city image dimensions and examined the Daegu image by residency and demographic characteristics of respondents in Daegu and Seoul regions. The study extracted 4 dimensions of city image including economy, people, conservatism, and development capability. High conservatism and low economic prosper represented the image of Daegu while the opposite did of Seoul. Regardless of residency, single and Young respondents with high income and education had negative images for Daegu, and residents in Daegu rather than in Seoul had more negative images.

The purpose of this research is to compare residents' movement and activities in SH apartment in Yangcheon-Gu, Seoul (SH apartment) and PHA apartment in St. Paul, Minnesota (PHA apartment) in order to improve the quality of rental housing environment. This study had surveyed 418 residents of SH apartments in Korea and used the secondary data gathered from 1,462 residents of PHA apartments in the United States. The results of this study are as follows: The criteria of Korean residents in SH apartments when choosing their residences are lower rent payment and shorter waiting time. They seemed to have no other options than public rental housing. On the contrary, American residents in PHA apartment had more option to choose from. Therefore, Korea needs to offer more variety types of residents that can be lead to better satisfaction of low income classes. Most of the SH apartments residents has lived for long-term, in the average of more than 6 years, and wanted to live continually at their current dwelling. PHA residents showed similar tendency. However, long term residency may lead to permanent occupation of the public rental apartment by the same family. Hence, a system which can provide equal residency opportunities to all low-income classes need to be developed. Residents of SH apartment were satisfied with the personal activities but were not satisfied with group activities among residents or regarding resident meetings. However, residents of PHA apartments were more satisfied with their management because there is more in-housing-complex activity programs. Therefore, more activity program for a resident should be developed after analysing programs of different apartments and current conditions in Korea. There were some noticeable divergences among residents, based on their age, term of residence and physical, emotional and mental problem, when evaluating in-housing-complex's programs. Thus, these factors are also need to be considered when planning and examining evaluation about the management of rental apartments.

Child sexual abuse is not a rarely encountered problem. Child sexual abuse is a pediatric disease entity with lifelong impact. Child sexual abuse, different from sexual assault, is not always accompanied by violent force and usually repeated over a period of time. Child sexual abuse should be approached by multidisciplinary team experts. Every pediatrician should know the child protection network in his district and be competent in the child sexual abuse medical evaluation and treatment as a primary doctor. In order to accomplish that goal, the Korean Pediatric Society should change the pediatric residency training curriculum and foster child sexual abuse experts. Pediatricians have responsibilities to do their active role in response to children at risk.

This study examines unique manifestations of intergenerational conflict related to the acculturation process of immigrant families. No scale that measured the acculturation aspect of intergenerational conflict exsited. Thus, a new scale was developed to investigate this unique aspect among Korean American adolescents. The study design was cross-sectional, and employed a convenience sampling method. The participants were Korean American adolescents of junior and senior high school age, 14 to18 years old. The study was conducted at eleven Korean churches and one hakwon (private out-of-school studies .institute) in Fairfax County, Virginia. Korean American adolescents expressed that the issues related to education, such as academic pressures and high expectations, caused intergenerational conflict most frequently. Unlike findings from previous studies, the participants indicated that language differences between parents and children rarely caused intergenerational conflict. Contrary to previous findings, none of the characteristics variables, such as age, gender, length of residency and language preference, were significantly correlated with this unique conflict. This study provides a rare opportunity to enhance our understanding on how Korean American adolescents interact with their immigrant parents.

다수의 수련병원이 단일 병원군을 형성하려 전공의를 공동으로 모집선발하고, 또한 공동 책임에 수련시키는 전공의 통합수련프로그램인 "병원군별 전공의 총정원제"에서 인턴 순환근무 수련일정 계획은 순환교육과 임상경험을 위란 인턴의 일년간 수련일정을 수립하는 의사결정문제이다. 전공의의 순환배치와 관련하여 병원간의 갈등 또는 인턴의 불만 등이 발생할 수 있기에 병원군별 전공의 총정원제는 질적으로 우수하면 객관적인 인턴수련일정을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 인턴일정계획의 수리모형을 제시하고, 면실의 데이터를 사용해 산출된 순환일정을 다각도로 분석한 결과를 제시한다. 작성된 수련일정은 9개병원이 참여한 CMC병원군에서 2003년 현재 263명 인턴의 일년수련 순환배지에 사용되고 있다.

화학 박막 증착용(CVD : Chemical Vapor Deposition) 클러스터 장비는 다양한 공정 경로가 가능하며 물류 흐름이 매우 복잡해질 수 있다. 또한, 공정이 종료된 웨이퍼는 제한 시간 내에 챔버에서 꺼내져야만 한다. 클러스터 장비는 두 개의 팔을 가진 로봇이며, 빈 쪽 팔을 이용하여 공정이 종료된 웨이퍼를 꺼낸 후, 다른 쪽 팔을 이용하여 이전 공정에서 가져온 웨이퍼를 해당 공정에 넣어 주는 스왑(SWAP) 방식으로 운영된다. 이러한 스왑 방식에서는 로봇 작업 순서가 결정되어 진다. 그러나, 로봇의 팔 이외에 임시버퍼가 없고, 각 챔버는 엄격한 체제 시간 제약(Residency Time Constraint)을 가지고 있기 때문에 로봇의 작업 시점의 제어가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 Earliest Starting 방식으로 로봇의 작업 시점을 제어한다고 가정했을 때, 스왑 방식을 운용하면서 체제 시간 제약을 만족하는 공정 시간들의 조건을 제시한다. 공정 시간은 엔지니어에 의해 다소 조정이 가능하므로 공정 시간들의 조건은 엔지니어에게 스케줄 가능한 공정 시간을 결정할 수 있도록 지원해 주는 시스템에 활용 가능하다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 FSM(Finite State Machine)을 이용하여 CTC(Cluster Tool Controller) 내부의 실시간 스케줄러 구현 방법을 제안한다.

The purpose of this ethnography is to describe and analyze the wild-goose mother's everyday life, her family relationships, and her social networking. Thirteen mothers from New York, California, and Texas, U.S.A., were interviewed with an unstructured questionnaire. Their residency and everyday schedules are arranged around the children's educational conditions. They have experienced difficult relationships with Korean American immigrants, Korean students, other wild-goose mothers, and Americans. They have failed to develop their social capital effectively due to the language barrier and a cultural capital deficiency. As a kind of family strategy, this separation sometimes strengthens the spousal relationship, preventing divorce, but usually weakens the emotional ties and quality of communication between husband and wife. The acculturation gap between the mother and her children may cause the mother to become alienated and exacerbate the generational conflict.
