Purpose : Primary writing tremor(PWT) can be classified as either type A or type B depending on whether tremor appeared during writing or whilst writing and also on adopting the hand postures normally used for writing. Through the clinical experience author has had an impression that PWT type B may not be purely dependant on specific writing postures. The objective of this study was to clarify whether PWT type B have writing posture-specificity or not. Results : The data indicated that type B PWT is not writing posture-specific. Various pronation and supination postures could evoke tremor as well as writing postures. Furthermore most of other pronation- and supination-related tasks could evoke tremors as well as action of writing. Conclusions : The present data suggest that PWT should be limited only on the pure form of task-spesific PWT type A.

Comprehension monitoring is a process of message evaluation and a very important skill of communication. Comprehension monitoring is a necessary language skill in classroom, as it is important for children to assess their own understanding of task instructions and teaching content. The present study investigated comprehension monitoring skill of children with Specific Language Impairment(SLI) compared to age-matched children and language-matched children. 18 vignettes and 6 displays were constructed. Children were asked to choose one object or 'DK' card from a display after the children listened to the vignettes. The results showed that children with SLI didn't have problem in comprehending unambiguous utterance and using prior statement. However, they had problem in monitoring comprehending ambiguous utterance compared age-matched children. Their performance were similar to language matched younger children. With respect to their performance, several possible explanations were discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the characteristics of metalinguistic awareness of children with specific language impairment. Forty-five children participated in this study; 15 children with specific language impairment (SLI group) whose range of the language age was 4;6-6;6, 15 normal children chronological age matched (CA controls) and 15 normal children language age matched with the SLI group (CA controls). A metalinguistic task involving the identification and revision of syntactic, semantic, and phonologic errors was used. The SLI group performed significantly poorer than CA controls as well as LA controls in identifying and correcting error sentences, especially sentences with syntactic error. These results revealed the relation between language problems of children with SLI and metalinguistic abilities.

In this paper, we present a model-driven approach for RTOS-based embedded software development and an automated tool that produces RTOS-specific code or RTOS-independent code. We define generic RTOS APIs (Application Programming Interface) that are not bound to any specific RTOS but provide most of typical RTOS services. Generic RTOS APIs can be used to describe application's RTOS-related behavior, The proposed API translator translates task code between C-code for specific RTOS and intermediate code using generic API. Also, the result can be extended to other RTOS's modifying XML transformation rule.

In this paper we suggest a context-driven configuration model of virtual businesses to form a business network model consisting of role-based, interaction-centered business partners. The model makes use of the subcontext concept which explicitly represents actors and interactions in virtual business (VB) context. We separate actors who have capacities on tasks in a specific kind of role and actor subcontext which models requirements in specific interaction subcontext. Three kinds of actors are defined in virtual service chains, service user, service provider, and external service supporter. Interaction subcontext models a service exchange process between two actor subcontexts with consideration of context dependencies like task and quality dependencies. Each subcontext may be modeled in the form of a situation network which consists of a finite set of situation nodes and transitions. A specific situation is given in a corresponding context network of actors and interactions. It is illustrated with a simple example.

Given the competition between different tourist destinations to attract domestic and international tourists it is absolutely vital to examine their website efficacy on specific attributes. This study employs one of the recently developed multi-criteria decision-making method the Best-Worst Method to assess the state government official tourism website across four Indian states known for their tourism potential- Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan on specific attributes provided by the widely acknowledged WebQual instrument. Information Fit-to-Task and Trust emerged as the most important criterion. Relative advantage and Innovation the least important. The results of the study are easily interpretable and visual. They offer both an individual and comparative analysis of the perceived website efficacy on specific attributes to facilitate tourism stakeholders and website administrators to strategize and make their digital presence effective and competitive.

Generally, development of a robot capable of fast movements or high payloads is progressed by the analysis of dynamic characteristics, DOF positioning, actuator selection, structure of links, and so on. This paper highlights the design of a robot manipulator handled by a human for man-machine cooperation. The requirements of the proposed system include its having multi-DOF(Degree of Freedom)and the capacity for a high payload in the condition of its maximum reach. The primary investigation factors are motion range, performance within the motion area, and reliabilityduring the handling of heavy materials. Traditionally, the mechanical design of robots has been viewed as a problem of packaging motors and electronics into a reasonable structure. This process usually transpires with heavy reliance of designerexperience. Not surprisingly, the traditional design process contains no formally defined rules for achieving desirable results, as there is little opportunity for quantitative feedback during the formative stages. This work primarily focuses on the selection of proper joint types and link lengths, considering a specific task type and motion requirements of the heavy material handling.

The present paper reviews experimental finding such as kanji stroop effect, kana superiority effect in naming task, kanji superiority effect in lexical devision task, and the different pattern of facilitatory priming effect in repetition priming task. Most of the experimental findings indicate that kana script and kanji script are processed independently and modularly. These indications are also consistent with the basic observations on Japanese dyslexics. A connectionist model named JIA(Japanese Interactive Activation)is proposed which is a revision of interactive activation model proposed by McClelland & Rumelhart(1981). The differences between the two models are as follows. Firstly, JIA has a kana module and kanji module at letter level. Secondly, JIA adopts script-specific interconnections between letter-level nodes and word-level nodes:word nodes receive larger activation from the script consistent letter-level nodes. JIA successfully explains all the experimental findings and many cases of Japanese dyslexia. A computer program which simulates JIA model was written and run.

The purposes of this study were to explore the gender differences in children's social competence, emotional regulation and maternal parenting behaviors, and to investigate differences between boys and girls in the interrelationships between these kinds of variables. The participants were 214 children in 4 to 6 grades and their teachers from one elementary school in Seoul. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regressions. The results were as follows: There were statistically significant gender differences in the children's social competence, emotional regulation and maternal parenting behaviors. Children's negative emotion explained boys' and girls' peer social skills, frustration tolerance, and task orientation. Children's positive emotion regulation explained boys' and girls' peer social skills, assertive social skills, and task orientation. Boys, who perceived less maternal supervision, displayed less assertive social skills and task orientation.
