  • This study analyzed guidelines and instructions for access points representing works and expressions in RDA. The preferred title for the work is used as the basis for constructing an authorized access point to represent a work or expression. If applicable, the authorized access point is constructed by combining the preferred title for the work to the authorized access point for the identity with principal responsibility for the work. The variant titles for the work are used as the basis for constructing variant access points to represent a work or expression. If the authorized access point is constructed by combining the preferred title for the work to the authorized access point for the identity responsible for the work, the variant access points are constructed by combining the variant titles for the work to the authorized access point, and by using only the preferred title for the work. Besides, RDA provides instructions to construct the controlled access points for special works like musical works, laws, religious works and others, but the general principles for these works are same as the above instructions. The authorized access points for works and expressions in RDA are almost same as the main entry headings in AACR2.

  • Knowledge about career patterns of women In any profession and about factors which influence these career patterns becomes increasingly necessary because of the influx of ever-increasing numbers of women into the labor force, and the need for the development and utilization of the creative productivity of women. This study alms to investigate Korean female librarians' overall career patterns and verify relevant factors which might affect to their career patterns. As an instrument, self-reported questionnaires were sent to 1,251 full-time Korean female librarians throughout the country with regular librarian's certificate, currently engaging in public, college or university, and special libraries. Based on the data gathered, the interrelationship between their career pattern inclination and its influential factors were examined through hypothesis testing. Major findings of the survey are outlined in the following: 1). Female librarians' career patterns were classified into five categories with the group represented as Categories-2 (single; wishes to continue working after marriage; places an emphasis on the sense of occupational accomplishment and social prestige) accounted for the highest proportion$(33.4\%)$. 2). The result of the hypothesis testing revealed that there is no significant relationship statistically between social factors(parents' socio-economic status, etc.) and female librarians' career patterns. So the hypothesis concerning social factors were rejected. 3). In psychological factors(job satisfaction ; self-concept sex role attitude ; role conflict ; and achievement motivation), all except for self-concept were shown to be relevant with female librarians' stable career pattern. So the hypotheses concerning psychological factors were supported. 4). According to the result of multiple discriminant analysis conducted between the above four statistically significant psychological factors and career patterns, the most influential factor for female librarians' career patterns was job satisfaction and sex role. In conclusion, the following recommendations were made: For overall enhancement of Korean female librarianship, earlier career guidance and concrete sex role education for young women is urgent which enable them to establish correct viewpoint for their occupational career female librarians themselves' constant endeavor In maintaining positive attitude toward their job is required.

  • In this paper, we propose an advanced hardware architecture for fast multi-resolution motion estimation of the video coding standard MPEG-1,2 and MPEG-4 AVC. We describe the algorithm and derive hardware architecture emphasizing the importance of area for low cost and fast operation by using the shared memory, the special ram architecture, the motion vector for 4 pixel x 4 pixel, the spiral search and so on. The proposed architecture has been verified by ARM-interfaced emulation board using Excalibur Altera FPGA and also by ASIC synthesis using Samsung 0.18 m CMOS cell library. The ASIC synthesis result shows that the proposed hardware can operate at 140 MHz, processing more than 1,100 QCIF video frames or 70 4CIF video frames per second. The hardware is going to be used as a core module when implementing a complete MPEG-4 AVC video encoder ASIC for real-time multimedia application.

  • The revision of the Korean Cataloging Rules (KCR) is in progress in order to conform IFLA LRM conceptual model and to strengthen its internal stability. Religious works, along with musical works and legal works, have been treated as special and important in cataloging rules. This trend continues in the new cataloging rules that seek a bibliographic model that interconnects related materials. However since KCR2(1966), there are no rules for access points or specific rules on religious works. Under the circumstances, this study analyzed (1) the contents of religious works in the recently revised cataloging rules, (2) the access points and their functions for religious works implemented in online catalogs and authority system, and finally (3) the direction and scope of KCR revision. As a result of the study, this study suggested that it is necessary to prepare detailed rules for preferred title and authorized access points for various religious works in KCR. In conclusion, some issues for further discussion were summarized.

  • Rapid expansion of digital convergence, involving services and technologies from different areas that are combining to create new forms of products or services. Digital convergence itself is changing from technology-based to content-based, to include the convergence of different types of contents as well as contents of the same kind. In line with this trend, vigorous researches are being done to combine various formats and types of academic contents to create new services. In this paper, we examine cases of connection and convergence among different types of academic contents and analyze its characteristics, as well as the pros and cons. We especially focus on CLICK, KISTI's model of connection and convergence among different types of contents, to introduce a special feature of convergence platforms, difficulties involved and their solutions, and researches to be conducted in the future.

  • Background: Hemiplegic patients usually have difficulty maintaining balance. Balance training is a major component of there habilitation program for patients with neurological impairment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of PLS(Posterior Leaf Spring), FES(Functional Electrical stimulation), treadmill training, and neurodevelopmental treatment on the improvement of balance in patients with hemiplegia. Methods: We looked into published studies from Dankook University’s electronic library databases of RISS4U, KMbase, NCBI, and MEDLIS concerning the effectiveness of any form of intervention leading to improvement of balance. All types of studies relevant to the topic that were published in English during the time period of 1986 to 2005 were included. Results: 1. There were significant differences in standing balance, dynamic activity balance, and gait speed between barefoot subjects and subjects who wore SPAFO and HPAFO(p<.05). 2. The changes in ROM and FRT related to sex, age, height, and weight part of the diagnosis, as well as experience relapse, was of meaningless value. Changes in ROM related to the duration of pain and experiences of falling down were also meaningless. However, FRT showed significant static differences(p<.05). 3. The body-weight-support treadmill training scoring of standing balance, step length, and a timed 10m walking test showed definite improvement. 4. The proprioceptive control approach improved dynamic balance in patients with hemiplegia. Conclusion: Consequently, further study is needed to verify methods when physical therapists are researching balance ability in hemiplegic patient.

  • Nowadays as many Grid communities appear, the requirement of singlepoint-to-multipoint data transfer in Grid environment is growing. In a typical LAN or a special purpose network environment, a multicasting technology was used in such a data dissemination transfer case. However, compared with unicasting fouler performance transfer performance the multicating transfer is worse, and the obligation of a special hardware setting makes it difficult to implement in common Grid environment. Therefore, in this paper we propose on effective data dissemination mechanism for Grid environment named DDMG(Data Dissemination Mechanism for Grid), DDMG uses P2P(Peer-to-Peer) mechanism and Globus XIO library to improve the performance in a data dissemination process and to support heterogeneous protocols in Grid environment. We also evaluate the performance of DDMG mechanism in LAN and WAN environment by comparing with unicast transfer.
