  • A current environmental issue, 'Enviromentally Sound and Sustainable Development(ESSD)' is very important in that it is for our common future. Environmental education is essential as a long-term strategy to realize sustainable environments and society. So we developed a new program about ESSD. The purposes of development were as follows. First, introduce ESSD to students, second, make them know ESSD appropriate to our nation, third, make change from economy-centered thoughts to environmental economy-centered thoughts, ultimately make form behaviors related to ESSD. To verify the effects of new developed program, the direct learning was carried out by 212 students in total. Post test scores of experimental groups were significantly higher than those of control groups about four goals, respectively. Therefore this program is effective to achieve four goals of environmental education for ESSD.

  • This study reports on a production experiment designed to investigate how Korean speaking learners of English produce English forms ending in stops. In a repetition experiment, Korean participants listened to English nonce words ending in a stop and repeated what they heard. English speakers were recruited for the same task as a control group. The experimental result indicated that the transcriptions of the Korean productions by English native speakers showed vowel insertion in only 3% of productions although the pronunciation of English final stops showed that noise intervals after the closure of final stops were significantly longer for Korean speakers than for English speakers. This finding is inconsistent with the loanword data where 49% of words showed vowel insertion. It is also not compatible with the perceptual similarity approach, which predicts that because Korean speakers accurately perceive an English final stop as a final consonant, they will insert a vowel to make the English sound more similar to the Korean sound.

  • This research began with the intention to create music using the superposition characteristics of quantum computers. Existing music has characteristics that are limited to those composed by composers. However, music using the overlap of quantum computers has musical characteristics that change when executed within a limited range. Using this, you will be able to create music that changes based on specific chords at run time. In this paper, quantum computers and existing computers are connected to generate sound, And it focuses on creating changing sounds by applying the nature of superposition.

  • The effect of two-fluid fogging system on the control of Bemisia tabaci in tomato cultivation was evaluated in a greenhouse. The number of Bemisia tabaci was decreased by 87% from the fog treatment for 7 days. During the fog treatment, the mean daily temperature was decreased by $2^{\circ}C$ and the mean daily relative humidity was increased by 3~4% as compared to the non-treatment. The reduction of Bemisia tabaci in the treatment might not be resulted from the differences in temperature and humidity in the greenhouse. The sound coming from the two-fluid fogging system did not affect when it was operated without water inside. Therefore it was concluded that water droplets coming out the nozzle reduced the growth and the movement of whiteflies because the suspension of tiny water droplets were attached on the skin of whiteflies.

  • The tinnitus which is the one of the auditory disease is a phenomenon that the patients feel the sound in the ear or the head when there is no sound sources. There have been many therapies for this tinnitus so far, but it is known that the TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) is the most effective therapy. So we designed and developed the controllable white noise generator for TRT. It must be designed as small as possible for user's convenience, such as the ITE (In The Ear) type hearing aids. It used the thermal noise as the white noise source. And filter and tone control circuits are used at the end of the noise generation part to control the white noise characteristics. This link of the controllable circuits is used to change the white noise's characteristic for the various tinnitus patients' characteristic. we can confirm that the designed and implemented controllable white noise generator which is a ITE type operates properly by the experiments of filter and tone control circuit.

  • In this study, it is outlined that heavy weight floor impact noise induced by the vibration of slab can be reduced using multi tuned mass damper(MTMD) effectively. Substructure synthesis is utilized to develope analytical model of the slab coupled with MTMD and acoustic power is introduced to evaluate the performance of noise control for simplicity. Numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of the properties of MTMD on the vibration and noise control of the simply supported slab. Numerical analysis shows that mass ratio of MTMD is critical on the vibration and noise control of the slab and it is also essential to reduce the vibration in higher modes of slab in the light of its great effect on the radiation of sound.

  • This paper studies on an active noise control to reduce noise sound level in a small cavity. Ideally, high gain control solves this problem, but, in practice, there exist nonlinear characteristics and modelling errors of the small cavity, which make the control more complicated. H$_{\infty}$ control can be used in an uncertain system after determining uncertain boundary and solved algebraically or numerically. In this paper, the numerical one, LMI(Linear Matrix Inequality), is used to get controller. Finally, experiment result shows the performance of the controller..

  • With a general trend toward larger and more complex systems with centralized control, an operator's role of supervisory decision making in the control room becomes more important. Identification of potential man-machine interface (MMI) problems with CRT-based process control systems was attempted using a structured questionnaire survey. Based on the survey results, a laboratory experiment was carried out to investigate the performance of alarm detection on a process control CRT display. The user performance was measured in terms of reaction time from the onset of an alarm sound until the completion of predefined response procedures. The results revealed that for a highly complex tasks, mean reaction time ($\bar{RT}$) with a color consistent display was 10.5% faster than that with the original display, and $\bar{RT}$ with a grouped display was reduced by 8.2% in comparison with the color consistent display.

  • We examined the effect of the auditory stimulus on postural control. The auditory stimulus control system composed of 8 speakers ,the audio amplifier, the PPI interface and the sound controller. We measured the sway of head position and COP. Our result showed that the auditory stimulus was effective on postural control. It also indicated that the auditory stimulus system might be applied to clinical use as a new postural control training system.

  • This study focuses on building an effective environmental control system for the ubiquitous housing environment. In order to build an effective environmental control system that will provide a comfortable, pleasant, and convenient environment for residents, information on how people cognize the indoor and outdoor environmental conditions, information on human beings, and information of the space should be studied. Also more studies need to be done in which method would be the best way to integrate these informations that would affect the users in the most positive way. The current environmental control system only carries the information on providing separate information of environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity, heat, and sound. However, it is difficult to understand the energy efficiency of an architectural element through this system. Therefore, this study proposes an energy monitoring system utilizing spatial information.
