The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of fashion shopping orientation and mobile shopping characteristics on consumer's perceived value. In addition, mobile purchase experiences of male consumers in their 20s~30s were analyzed. Questionnaires were carried out from November 10, 2015 to November 20, 2015 and 230 useful data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, ANOVA, duncan test, multiple regression using Spss 21. The results of this study were as follows: First, fashion shopping orientation of male consumers was composed of five factors, which were 'brand ostentatious orientation', 'pleasure/trend orientation', 'economic orientation', 'impulse orientation' and 'time-saving orientation'. Second, mobile shopping characteristics were divided into three factors including 'ease of use', 'personalization', and 'security'. Third, fashion shopping orientation factors such as 'pleasure/trend orientation', 'economic orientation', and 'time-saving orientation' had a significant influence on the perceived value, while all the factors of mobile shopping characteristics affected the perceived value significantly. Fourth, there were significant differences among the classsified groups based on the level of purchase frequency and the period of using mobile shopping mall in fashion shopping orientation factors. Fourth, there were significant differences among the group classified by the level of purchase frequency in mobile shopping characteristics factors. These results suggested the differenciated strategies for customer management to make male consumers lead to mobile purchase.

Recently, renewed attention for technological applications within the maritime industry has taken place, particularly regarding unmanned vessels. There has been a lot of interest about the number of projects aiming at testing the operational feasibility of unmanned vessels, particularly in relation to technological, safety and security issues. Nevertheless, no studies have investigated this issue from the point of view of seafarers towards unmanned vessels; this paper aims at filling this gap. Data has been collected through a survey questionnaire. A Pearson correlational coefficient has been used to test the correlation between some of the variables. The results show that more than half of the respondents indicated that unmanned vessels do not contribute to an increase in accidents at sea. In addition, seafarers believe unmanned vessels will not be operational in the near future, with most of the respondents indicating a 10-20 year time frame. Thirdly, most of the respondents(both officers and ratings).

Modern construction technology has been highly systemized, which has simplified the construction methods applied to construction sites. However, on reinforced concrete construction sites, there have recently been many new disasters, and these have been bigger than before due to the heavy dependency on manpower. This study investigates the cause and cases of disasters during reinforced concrete construction. In addition, the study surveyed the psychological condition of construction site personnel in relation to the safety awareness and the causes of disasters, while deriving the basic components related to disasters on construction sites in order to analyze the relationship between each component to suggest an efficient safety management measures checklist. Construction site personnel should utilize the results drawn from this study as a disaster prevention tool to use in a safety education class, and not consider this simply as statistical data, but as a checklist to ensure full awareness of the appropriate priorities for safety categories to utilize in the reinforced concrete construction in order to execute reasonable safety management.

Essential oils (EOs) have gained a renewed interest in many disciplines such as plant disease control and medicine. This review discusses the components of ginger EOs, their mode of action, and their potential nanotechnology applications in controlling tropical plant diseases. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography, and headspace procedures are commonly used to detect and profile their chemical compositions EOs in ginger. The ginger EOs are composed of monoterpenes (transcaryophyllene, camphene, geranial, eucalyptol, and neral) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (α-zingiberene, ar-curcumene, β-bisabolene, and β-sesquiphellandrene). GC-MS analysis of the EOs revealed many compounds but few compounds were revealed using the headspace approach. The EOs have a wide range of activities against many phytopathogens. EOs mode of action affects both the pathogen cell's external envelope and internal structures. The problems associated with solubility and stability of EOs had prompted the use nanotechnology such as nanoemulsions. The use of nanoemulsion to increase efficiency and supply of EOs to control plant diseases control was discussed in this present paper. The findings of this review paper may accelerate the effective use of ginger EOs in controlling tropical plant diseases.

In TETRA(TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) standard, TMO(Trunked Mode Operation) communicates with the UE through the base station and it has a higher priority than DMO(Direct Mode Operation) which communicates with UE directly for channel allocation. As a result, the UE needs an algorithm which restricts the frequency allocation by TMO so that DMO can have a successful communication within the network. However, the TETRA DMO standard does not consider this issue. In this paper, we propose an active DMO channel selection algorithm which allocates a channel based on some additional information such as channel usage state of TMO and channel utilization of DMO. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing DMO channel allocation scheme in terms of the transmission efficiency.

Infrared (IR) imaging is capable of detecting targets that are not visible at night, thus it has been widely used for the security and defense system. However, the quality of the IR image is often degraded by low resolution and noise corruption. This paper addresses target segmentation with the IR image. Multiple regions of interest (ROI) are extracted by the multi-level segmentation and targets are segmented from the individual ROI. Each level of the multi-level segmentation is composed of a k-means clustering algorithm an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and a decision process. The k-means clustering algorithm initializes the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and the EM algorithm iteratively estimates those parameters. Each pixel is assigned to one of clusters during the decision. This paper proposes the selection and the merging of the extracted ROIs. ROI regions are selectively merged in order to include the overlapped ROI windows. In the experiments, the proposed method is tested on an IR image capturing two pedestrians at night. The performance is compared with conventional methods showing that the proposed method outperforms others.

As increasing the use of smart phones, the interest of iOS and Android operating system is growing up. In this paper, a novel steganographic method based on Android platform is proposed. Firstly, we analyze the skia based image format that is supporting 2D graphic libraries in Android operating system. Then, we propose a new data hiding method based on the Android bitmap image format. The proposed method hides the secret data on the four true color areas which include Alpha, Red, Green, Blue. In especial, we increase the embedding capacity of the secret data on the Alpha area with a less image distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a higher embedding capacity and less distortion by changing the size of the secret bits on the Alpha area.
