The role of conformational entropy of polymer chains in polymer crystallization is investigated by molecular modeling and theory. The entropy of folded loops dominates at experimentally relevant temperatures to dictate short equilibrium lamellar thicknesses, which are much smaller than the extended chain thickness. Also the entropic barriers control the kinetics of polymer crystallization. These results based on chain entropy are different from the classical views of how polymer chains crystallize.

Transport phenomena paly an inmportant role in bulk crystal growth processes. During crystal growth, the control of the growth front and the dopant concentration is crucial to crystal quality. The growth feasibility in thus determined by the heat transfer controlling the interface convexity and by the mass transfer controlling the constitutional supercooling. Through numerical modeling, a thorough understanding of the growth processes is possible, which in turn is a key to process improvenment. In this paper, we will summarize some work dine in my laboratory, both numerical and experimental, to illustrate the importance of understanding the transport phenomena during crystal growth processes.

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationships among price sensitivity, brand sensitivity, and fashion innovativeness. The data used in this study were gathered through surveying university students residing in Seoul metropolitan area using convenience sampling method. One hundred thirty eight questionnaires were used in statistical analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the higher the price sensitivity, the lower the fashion innovativeness and the brand sensitivity.

In the human cognitive activity, experiencing plays a basic role. This is modeled by the idea of experience sequence here, which has been proposed by the author for the incorporation of the factor of experiencing in man-machine communication. Experience sequence is for modeling the human concept formation through experiencing. Knowledge manipulation requires concept understanding as its basis. An experience sequence deals with such a process of concept formation.

The precise prediction of ground displacement plays an important role in planning and constructing tunnels. In this study, an equation for predicting the surface and crown settlement is suggested by examining the theories of ground movement caused by tunnel excavation. From the 3D numerical modeling, the reinforcement effect of UAM (Umbrella Arch Method) is quantitatively analyzed with respect to deformation modulus and overburden. By using a regression technique for the numerical results, an equation for predicting the settlement is suggested.

This study is mainly concerned with providing a basis for children's prosocial behavior development. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting children's prosocial behavior. The Main two factors affecting children's prosocial behavior development are home environmental and social cognitive ability, and concrete variables in these factors are as follows : 1) Home environmental factor; parental warmth, parental restrictiveness and inductive reasoning and prosocial modeling. 2) Social cognitive factor ; children's role taking ability and empathic ability and with these, several situational variables are also concerned with prosocial behavior.

For the design and analysis of 3D object featuring complexity and irregularity in shape, sectional digital images measured by an industrial CT scanner are employed to generate a finite element model with uniform voxels. The voxel model plays a key role in developing an integrated reverse engineering system including geometric modeling, simulation and optimization. Design examples applied to topology optimization show that the proposed approach can provide a remarkable reduction in time cost at the conceptual and detail design stages.

As the level of technology and the standard of living improve, product reliability plays an Increasingly significant role. This study has been performed to build a reliability model of electronic ballasts for the low wattage fluorescent lamp. Telcordia SR-332, one of the most widely used reliability specifications, was selected for the model development. We briefly reviewed the basic concepts of the electronic ballast. We then developed a reliability model for the ballast using SR-332 concepts and the reliability has been examined.

TCTP is presented to have a retinol binding protein (RBP)-like structure by domain search. Human cellular RBP (CRBP) plays a key role in the intercellular transfer of retinol. Modulation of its expression is known to contribute to tumor growth and progression via retinoid-mediated signaling. Changes in the expression of TCTP have also been reported to be associated with carcinogenesis. Therefore, the attempt to establish the interactive relationship between the human TCTP and CRBP with retinol will be helpful in further understanding the cell signaling of TCTP. (omitted)

Despite the increasing recognition of the value of emotions and younger consumers in luxury market segments, little research has focused on the role consumer characteristics and emotions play in younger consumers' commitment to luxury brands. Drawing on the identity-motivation model and the idea of self-construal, this study identifies the contributing factors of younger consumers' commitment to luxury fashion brands. Specifically, this study examines the role of consumer characteristics (i.e., self-construal), the self-expressiveness of brands, and emotional factors (i.e., brand love and brand attachment) in developing consumer-brand relationships. The proposed model was tested with college students in the U.S., which supplied a representative group of younger consumers of luxury fashion brands. The data were collected using web-based surveys and analyzed using structural equation modeling method. The results showed that consumers who were characterized with interdependent self-construal had positive perceptions of self-expressive luxury fashion brands. Furthermore, the perception of self-expressive brands promotes the consumers' brand love of and brand attachmentto luxury fashion brands. Also, while both improved brand commitment, brand attachment had a greater impact on brand commitment than brand love. This study contributes to the literature by identifying driving forces of younger consumers' brand commitment. It also provides managerial implications for luxury fashion brands.
