Since Takeo Toi's discussion in The Anatomy of Dependence (1973), the concept of amae has generated considerable interest in the fields of psychology, anthropology, communication and other fields. However, there have been few agreements on the definition and functions of amae (Behrens, 2004). Furthermore, it has rarely drawn interest from linguists in general and has rarely been discussed in the context of social interaction. This study aims to examine the concept of amae in Japanese and the corresponding phenomena in Korean, and attempts to explore the similarities and differences between them. The prototype of the amae relationship is the mother-infant relationship (Doi,1973). Even an adult can assume the role of a baby, showing his or her need for dependence on others and expecting to be accepted. It turns out that amae-like phenomena frequently occur in everyday life in Korea as well (Lee, 1982). There is no single term for the concept, but it can be translated in many different ways in Korean, for example, aykyo, ayang, ungsek, erikwang, etc. It can have either positive or negative connotations depending on the situation. It seems that the psychological system that causes dependent behaviors such as ungsek in Korea is cheong, one of the key terms characterizing the Korean culture. Cheong, like amae, starts in the mother-infant relationship extending to familial and to other relationships. A corpus-based analysis shows that cheong is conceptualized as gluing people together, growing over time, and also potentially fatal because it assumes illogical, uncalculated, and personal relationships. In conclusion, unlike some Japanese scholars' claim that amae is the Japanese concept that exists only in Japan, it seems that similar phenomena do exist in Korea as well, but that Korean has no single term corresponding to amae in Japanese. It seems that cheong can be posited in Korean as the inner emotional system that makes amae-like behaviors possible, and that there is not single term, but many, designating the behaviors, possibly because the behaviors have a negative connotation and are not encouraged in Korean society.

We give a representation of the component of solutions with characteristic multiplier 1 in a periodic linear inhomogeneous continuous system. It follows from this representation that asymptotic behaviors of the component of solutions to the system and to its associated homogeneous system are quite different, though they are similar in the case where the characteristic multiplier is not 1. Moreover, the representation is applicable to linear discrete systems with constant coefficients.

In order to investigate the impact behaviors of 3-D braided glass/epoxy composites, the energy profiles and damage area were compared to the laminates of similar volume fraction and composition. The energy profiles showed different characteristics from each other which indicates they have distict energy absorption mechanisms. The image analysis on the damage projections visualized the crack propagation paths along the fiber direction.

The transfer behaviors of three Polyarmatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil to non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) were investigated. The three different PAHs were phenanthrene, anthracene, and pyrene. The used NAPLs were silicone oil and paraffine oil. The percentage of the remained PAHs into soil were similar without the relation to kinds of NAPLs. And the transfer of PAHs into NAPLs was fastened until 1 day as the increase of mixing rate but in the case of 450 rpm, the remained PAHs into soil was increased after 1 day because NAPLs was emulsified.

The over-critical current behaviors for bare or insulated Bi-222 tapes with different matrix materials have been examined. The result shows that static resistances of the two bare tapes becomes similar for currents above 150 A but different for currents below. In the insulated A tape the first rapid temperature rise occurred around 180 A and eventually burned out about 190A.

Experimental study in coflow jet flames has been conducted to investigate the effects of adding $N_2$, $CO_2$ and He to coflowing air-side in self-excitations. Differences in the behaviors between buoyancy-driven and diffusive-thermal self-excitations with similar frequency range are explored and discussed in laminar coflow jet flames.

Our examination of the relations of spherically symmetric accretion on a massive point object to viscous drag, neglecting gas pressure and using self-similar transformation, shows the behaviors of the asymptotic solutions? in the regions near to and far from the center. The viscosity reduces the free-fall velocity by the factor $(1\;+\;\zeta) ^{-1}$, and causes flattening in the density distribution. Therefore, the viscosity leads to the reduction of the mass accretion rate.

Vibration-resistant rubbers, whose elastic and shear behaviors are similar to viscoelastic materials, are used to make bracing dampers to reduce the building vibration. Experimental study is carried out to find the vibration characteristics of the dampers installed in the building model. The natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are obtained from the free vibration test and Fourier analysis. Shaking table test is performed to find the response behavior of the building model under earthquake loading. The present experimental study shows that the bracing dampers have the behavior of viscoelastic dampers, which increase the modal damping ratios and viscoelastic characteristics.

Acoustic pressure response and NO formation of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flame let in turbulent flames in combustion chambers. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases linearly with pressure and then decreases, and increases again at high pressures. Thus, flames are classified into three pressure regimes. Such non-monotonic behavior is caused by the change in chemical kinetic behavior as pressure rises. Acoustic pressure response in each regime is investigated based on the Rayleigh criterion. At low pressures, pressure-rise causes the increase in flame temperature and chain branching/recombination reaction rates, resulting in increased heat release. Therefore, amplification in pressure oscillation is predicted. Similar phenomena are predicted at high pressures. At moderate pressures, weak amplification is predicted. Emission index of NO shows similar behaviors as to the peak-temperature variation with pressure.

Interdiffusion process at interfaces of chemically identical polymers (e.g., deuterated-nondeuterated pairs) with different molecular weights or polymers with similar physical properties, is studied here by varying the diffusion time. Considering the vacancy flux ($J_v$) and adopting the Cahn-Hilliard interracial energy in describing this system, we can see that the variation of the interfacial composition profile with time is asymetric and the interface moves towards the polymer with the lower molecular weight as interdiffusion progresses. Furthermore, interface shift $\Delta\chi$, which characterizes the interdiffusion between polymers, agrees well with the behaviors of the existing experimental data. We can also obtain the interface shift factor C, which can be converted into values of $D_s$ (self-diffusion coefficient of the smaller molecules), from the slopes of the linear fits to the data of the interface shift.
