This paper presents the design and implementation of SVSIM (Sogang VHDL SIMulator), a multi-level VHDL simulator, designed for the construction of an integrated VGDL design environment. The internal model of SVSIM is the hierarchical C/DFG which is extended from C/DFG to include the network hierarchy and local/glabal control informations. Hierarchical network is not flattened for simulation, resulting in the reduction of space complexity. The predufined/user-defined types except for the record type and the predefined/user-defined attributes are supported in SVSIM. Algorithmic-level descriptions can be siumlated by the support of recursive procedure/function calls. Input stimuli can be generated by command script in stimuli file or in VHDL source code. Experimential results show SVSIM can be efficiently used for the simulation of the pure behavioral descriptions, structural descriptions or mixture of these.

Necroptosis is a well-known form of caspase-independent cell death. Necroptosis can be triggered by various extrinsic stimuli, including death ligands in the presence of receptorinteracting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), a key mediator of necroptosis induction. Our recent studies have revealed that C-terminus HSC-70 interacting protein (CHIP), an E3 ligase, can function as an inhibitor of necroptosis. CHIP^−/− mouse embryonic fibroblast showed higher sensitivity to necrotic stimuli than wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. Deleterious effects of CHIP knockout MEFs were retrieved by RIPK3 depletion. We found that CHIP negatively regulated RIPK3 and RIPK1 by ubiquitylation- and lysosome- dependent degradation. In addition, CHIP^−/− mice showed postnatal lethality with intestinal defects that could be rescued by crossing with RIPK3^−/− mice. These results suggest that CHIP is a negative regulator of RIPK1 and RIPK3, thus inhibiting necroptosis.

Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) has various interesting behavioral properties, such as chemotaxis, thermotaxis, and electrotaxis. However, most previous research were only focused on single-stimulus for studying its behavioral properties. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective device for analyzing the behavior of C.elegans with combined stimuli, electric field and temperature. We compared and analyzed wild type worms (N2) and four mutant worms (tax-4, ttx-7, unc-54, unc-6). We analyzed the reaction of worms to certain stimulus and identified that this device is effective to apply a combined stimulus.

본 연구에서는 P300-기반 숨긴정보검사(P300 CIT)에서 검사자극들 간의 물리적 유사성이 P300 진폭과 검사의 효율성에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 사고를 당하여 자신의 이름을 기억하지 못한다고 허위로 주장하는 허위기억상실을 가정한 상황에서, 실험참여자의 이름을 숨긴정보(관련자극)로 사용하여 P300 CIT를 실시하였다. 이 검사에서 실험참여자의 과제는 목표자극과 나머지 자극을 변별하는 것이었다. 한 집단의 실험참여자들은 목표자극과 관련자극, 무관련자극들 간의 물리적 유사성이 낮은 조건(저난도 조건)에서 검사를 받았으며, 다른 한 집단의 실험참여자들은 검사자극들 간의 물리적 유사성이 높은 조건(고난도 조건)에서 검사를 받았다. 기저선-정점 P300 진폭을 측정치로 사용한 경우, 난이도 조건과 자극유형의 상호작용효과가 $\alpha$=.10 수준에서 유의하였다(p=.052). 저난도 조건에서는 관련자극과 무관련자극 간의 P300 진폭차이가 유의하였으며, 고난도 조건에서는 관련자극과 무관련자극 간의 P300 진폭차이가 유의하지 않았다. 정점-정점 P300 진폭을 측정치로 사용한 경우, 난이도 조건과 자극유형의 상호작용효과가 유의하지 않았으며, 저난도 조건과 고난도 조건 모두에서 관련자극과 무관련자극간의 P300 진폭차이가 유의하였다. 기저선-정점 P300 진폭을 이용한 개인별 판단결과, 저난도 조건과 고난도 조건 간의 정확판단율 차이가 유의하지 않았으며, 정점-정점 P300 진폭을 이용한 개인별 판단결과도 저난도 조건과 고난도 조건 간의 정확판단율 차이가 유의하지 않았다. 그러나, 난이도 조건 간의 정확판단율 차이가 기저선-정점 P300 진폭을 이용한 경우보다 정점-정점 P300 진폭을 이용한 경우에 더 작은 경향이 있었다. 이러한 결과는 검사자극들 간의 물리적 유사성이 높을 때에도 P300 CIT의 효율성이 크게 감소하지 않는다는 것을 의미한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of body type(thin, standard, fat), necktie width(narrow, medium, wide), gender(man, woman) on image formation. Sets of stimulus and response scales(7 point semantic) were used as experimental materials. The stimuli were 9 color pictures manipulated with the combination of necktie-width and body type using computer simulation. The subjects were 116 male undergraduates and 99 female undergraduates living in Gyeongsangnam-do. Image factor of the stimulus was composed of 4 different components, young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness, stability, and boldness. In the young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness and stability, body type and necktie-width showed independent effect. In the boldness, body type showed independent effect. Significant interaction effects of body type and necktie-width on young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness and stability were found. For young-activity image, necktie of narrow width were effective. For attractiveness-gracefulness image, body type of standard were effective. For stability image, body type of standard and body type of thin on necktie of narrow and medium width were effective. The male fashion image can be perceived differently according to combination of the clues used in body type and necktie-width. Therefore, when the male fashion to create images that will have to consider the body type and necktie width.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of facing plan on store image and preference of young casual fashion store. The subjects were 545 male and female university students in Chungnam province. The measuring instruments were 7 stimuli manipulated by facing plan, an important VMD element, and self-administrated questionnaire consisted of store image, store preference and subject's demographic characteristics. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test, using SPSS program. The results were as follows. First, facing type significantly affected consumer' store image; folded type had more neat and elegant image than other facing types, and face out type had most comfort image, whereas sleeve out type had discomfort image. Second, arrangement of facing types also affected store image; style arrangement had more sophisticated image than color arrangement in sleeve out type, and vertical and horizontal arrangement had more neat, sophisticated, attractive and comfort image than separate arrangement in folded type. Third, facing type affected store preference; folded type showed higher store preference than sleeve out type. Forth, arrangement of folded type affected store preference; vertical and horizontal arrangement showed higher store preference than separate arrangement. Fifth, store image and preference were different by subject's sex; male subjects perceived style arrangement as more elegant, characteristic and attractive image, and showed higher store preference than female subjects on separate arrangement of folded type.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of VM components(facade color and show window type) on store image and purchasing intention of fashion stores. The subjects were 428 male and female university students in Daejeon and Chungnam province. The measuring instruments were 6 stimuli manipulated by $3{\times}2$ factorial design of facade color and show window type, and a self-administrated questionnaire consisted of store image, purchasing intention, and subjects' demographic characteristics. The results were as follows. First, facade color mainly affected store image and purchasing intention. White color was preferred as more positive images(pleasurable, comfortable, neat, and modern), and showed higher purchasing intention than brown color. Second, show window type affected some store images. Semi-open type was perceived as more pleasurable image than enclosed type, whereas enclosed type was perceived as more luxurious, neat, and attractive image than semi-open type. However, show window type didn't affect purchasing intention. Third, subject' sex affected store image and purchasing intention. Male subjects perceived more positively on store image and had higher purchasing intention than females. This study suggested that facade color and show window type are important VM components affecting store image and purchasing intention.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of a combined stimulus which was composed of chiropractic massage and thermotherapy on the relief of mental and physical stress. Fifteen healthy male subjects were treated with three type of stimuli; control (without any stimulus), a single stimulus (only chiropractic) and a combined stimulus. To evaluate the effects of stimuli, visual analogue scale (VAS), trunk extension, electromyogram (EMG) on erector spinae muscle and electrocardiogram (ECG) were measured and analyzed before and after stimuli. In the control group, there were no significant changes in EMG root mean square (RMS) value and low Frequency/high Frequency (LF/HF) ratio (p > 0.05, p > 0.05). However, both stimulus groups showed significant increases in trunk extension and EMG RMS values (p < 0.05, p < 0.05), but significant decreases in LF/HF ratios (p < 0.05). Particularly the decrement rate in LF/HF ratio was significantly higher in the combined stimulus group than that in the single stimulus group (p < 0.05). Also, a significantly lower VAS was recorded after combined stimulus. Our findings indicate that the combined stimulus might not only improve flexibility and strength of muscle, but also active parasympathetic nerve activity. The combined stimulus may thus contribute to relieve the stress and to enhance the muscle function.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand the internal and external responses that consumers experience when they are exposed to an innovative system in retail stores. This study considered the SST(Self-Service Technology) system in a retail setting as a type of functional environmental stimuli and selected a smart shopping cart as an example of SST system. The influences of functional environmental stimuli on consumers' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses were examined by applying S-O-R model. In addition, this study attempted to extend the traditional S-O-R model by (a) incorporating personal characteristics variables such as time pressure and perceived crowding and (b) considering not only emotional but also cognitive aspects of consumers' internal responses. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: This study used a video-scenario technique. Participants watched a video about grocery shopping situations using a smart shopping cart and responded to their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses. An online survey was conducted using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (N = 185). All participants were US consumers over 20 years old and had been shopping at the grocery store in the last month. Data were analyzed through structural equations modeling with AMOS 20. Results: Test results showed that consumers who perceived higher levels of time pressure and perceived crowding in usual shopping situations were more likely to evaluate the SST system favorably. The results showed that personal characteristics have a significant impact on consumers' evaluation of functional environmental stimuli in retail setting. As consumers evaluated the SST system favorably, they experienced more positive affect and less negative affect during their shopping behaviors. Positive affect led to good service quality inference, which further increased patronize intention. However, negative affect did not show a significant impact on service quality inference, but only on patronize intention. Conclusions: This study attempted to investigate the influence of SST system by extending the traditional S-O-R model. This study classified the SST system as functional environmental stimulus of retail stores and analyzed the effect of stimulus on consumers' internal and external responses. The results of this study showed that the introduction of innovative SST can serve as an effective store differentiation strategy in an increasingly competitive retail environment.

Objectives : The authors sought to examine the differences in the number of P300 detected by subjects in experimental and control groups when exposed to relevant stimuli. In addition, the authors tried to determinethe subjects' reaction time when asked to respond to relevant stimuli. Methods : The subjects were 20 informed female volunteers aged 22-38 years (median age : 24). Relevant stimuli (concealed information) were created by unknowingly exposing the two groups to obscene pictures and semantic questions. The number of P300 detected and the length of reaction time were compared between the two groups. Results : Contrary to theauthors' expectations, there were no significant differences in the number of P300 detected or in the length of reaction time between the two groups. Conclusions : These results indicate that, unlike a polygraph test, concealed information tests adopting P300 and reaction time as major physiological responses ofsubjects exposed to meaningful personal information might not serve as a valid practical tool in the field of criminal psychology. However, further studies involving a greater number of subjects are needed before a final conclusion regarding the validity of this new type of concealed information test can be drawn.
