  • This study has been a study on changes seen in rural kitchens and factors affecting the modernization of agrarian kitchen space. The major findings were as follows: 1) The physical changes in kitchen design were carried out rapidly after 1977. This period coincided directly with the period in which kitchen improvement projects were fostered by the Sae Ma-Eul UNDONG 2) The study showed the macro factors contributing to changes in kitchen space to be government policy and industrialization. The study showed the micro factors influening kitchen space changes to be classified along socio-demographic lines and family lifestyle. 3) The factors affecting the degree of satisfaction with kitchens have been divided into socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics. The level of education achieved by the husband was the most significant among socio-demographic characteristics. Most important among lifestyle characteristics were the cooking fuel used during the slack farm season, eating habits, heating fuel and eating space respectively. The results of this study have some implications in terms of government housing policy. Policymakers should be aware of suitable kitchen spaces to rural households in order to meet their housing needs and expectations.

  • An anti-forensic data hiding method in an NTFS index record is a method designed for anti-forensics, which records data as a file name in index entries and thereafter the index entries are made to remain in the intentionally generated slack area in a 4KB-sized index record[7]. In this paper, we propose a maximum data allocation rule for an anti-forensic data hiding method in an NTFS index record; i.e., a computational method for storing optimal data to hide data in an index record of NTFS is developed and the optimal solution is obtained by applying the method. We confirm that the result of analyzing the case where the number of index entries n = 7 is the maximum case, and show the screen captures of index entries as experimental results.

  • Tendon driven method to drive one joint using two actuators is developed and implemented. While the method has advantages over conventional transmissions, it also has several drawbacks like tendon slack, elongation and endurability. In this paper, a compensation method of the intrinsic non-linearities of tendon is proposed to improve the performance of antagonistic tendon driven method. In this method, tendon tension measurement is prerequisite which is measured with strain gauge type tension sensor. The developed method is implemented on one link test bed with colocated and non-colocated position sensor.

  • In this study, an intelligent scheduling with hybrid architecture, which integrates expert system and neural network, is proposed. Neural network is trained with the data acquired from simulation model of FMC to obtain the knowledge about the relationship between the state of the FMC and its best dispatching rule. Expert system controls the scheduling of FMC by integrating the output of neural network, the states of FMS, and user input. By applying the hybrid system to a scheduling problem, the human knowledge on scheduling and the generation of non-logical knowledge by machine teaming, can be processed in one scheduler. The computer simulation shows that comparing with MST(Minimum Slack Time), there is a little increment in tardness, 5% growth in flow time. And at breakdown, tardness is not increased by expert system comparing with EDD(Earliest Due Date).

  • Motorized retractors enhance the safety of passengers by removing the slack of webbing and by holding upright driving position. Reliability of a driving mechanism that includes one-way clutch between the driving motor and webbing is directly linked to the safety of passenger. In this research, conditions for locking one-way clutch, and also conditions for sustaining locking are theoretically investigated. The operation of a motorized retractor under realistic conditions is simulated in order to validate the proposed retractor design.

  • In many conventional analysis of voltage stability the effect of load characteristics is ignored. But in the real system the load is composed of various components. Therefore if the load composition could be modeled then it will plays an important role in the analysis of static voltage stability. And also, if the system loss generally imposed to slack bus in the conventional load flow calculation is redistributed to each generator the accuracy of static voltage stability analysis can be improved. This paper presents the effect of load composition in the analysis of system stability as well the loss redistribution algorithm. And this paper will compare the result of conventional method with that of the proposed method.

  • MicroRNAs control gene expression by inhibiting translation or promoting degradation of their target mRNAs. Since the discovery of the first microRNAs, lin-4 and let-7, in C. elegans, hundreds of microRNAs have been identified as key regulators of cell fate determination, lifespan, and cancer in species ranging from plants to humans. However, while microRNAs have been shown to be particularly abundant in the brain, their role in the development and activity of the nervous system is still largely unknown. In this review, we describe recent advances in our understanding of microRNA function at synapses, the specialized structures required for communication between neurons and their targets. We also propose how these advances might inform the molecular model of memory.

  • A line search algorithm to increase a convergence in Newton's method is developed and applied to nonlinear finite element analysis. The algorithm is based on the slack line search theory which is an efficient algorithm to determine initial acceleration coefficient, variable backtracking algorithm proposed by some researchers, and convergence criterion based on residual norm. Also, it is capable of avoiding exceptional diverging conditions. Developed program is tested in metal forming simulation such as forging and ring rolling. Numerical result shows the validity of the algorithm for a highly nonlinear system .

  • This paper presents a new algorithm to determine accurate bus-wise transmission loss allocation utilizing path-integrals dictated by the transaction strategy. For any transaction strategy, the total sum of the allocated transmission losses of all buses is equal to the actual loss given by the AC power-flow calculation considering the distributed slack. In this paper, the bus-wise allocation of the transmission loss is calculated by integrating the differential loss along a path determined by the transaction strategy. The proposed algorithm is also compared with Galiana's method, which is the well-known transmission loss allocation algorithm based on integration. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by case studies carried out on the WSCC 9-bus, IEEE 14-bus, New England 39-bus, and IEEE 118-bus systems. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is fast and accurate with a large step size.

  • Cotton fabrics were slack-mercerized in sodium hydroxide, ammonia water(min. $28{\%}\;NH_3$), and mixture of ammonia water/sodium hydroxide. The surface of treated cotton fabrics were observed through SEM, and the changes of fine structure were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer. In addition to that shrinkage was compared mutally, and tenacity-elongation compared, too. SEM photographs showed fibrls rearranged strightly toward fibre axis. X-ray diffraction represented increased amorphous fraction, and partial recrystallization into cellulose 2 lattic after treatment with sodium hydroxide and mixture of ammonia water/sodium hydroxide. The mercerization produced increased fibre tenacity-elongation with slark state. Lastly, the best condition of mercerization was $4\%/14\%$, $10^{\circ}C,\;5\~30$ min. in mixture of ammonia/sodium hydroxide.
