This study investigated the influences of probabilistic accessibility of the word being produced - as determined by its usage frequency and neighborhood density - on native and high-proficiency L2 speakers' realization of six English monophthong vowels. The native group hyperarticulated the vowels over an expanded acoustic space when the vowel occurred in words with low frequency and high density, supporting the claim that vowel forms are modified in accordance with the probabilistic accessibility of words. However, temporal expansion occurred in words with greater accessibility (i.e., with high frequency and low density) as an effect of low phonotactic probability in low-density words, particularly in attended speech. This suggests that temporal modification in the opposite direction may be part of the phonetic characteristics that are enhanced in communicatively driven focus realization. Conversely, none of these spectral and temporal patterns were found in the L2 group, thereby indicating that even the high-proficiency L2 speakers may not have developed experience-based sensitivity to the modulation of sub-categorical phonetic details indexed with word-level probabilistic information. The results are discussed with respect to how phonological representations are shaped in a word-specific manner for the sake of communicatively driven lexical intelligibility, and what factors may contribute to the lack of native-like sensitivity in L2 speech.

Recently, the area of ubiquitous has gained a great attention both in academics and in business organizations as we are entering an ubiquitous society where people can interact at "anytime" and "anywhere". To preoccupy the leading status for the next generation of IT technology, many countries such as Korea, Japan, and US are concerned the ubiquitous. In this tendency, companies want to identify what factors make people use ubiquitous in order to develop the effective ubiquitous service and to supply the higher quality service. However, prior researches on ubiquitous are focused on technical area such as higher data delivery, efficient compression of images, so they do not have given companies beneficial materials for making fascinating ubiquitous services. To offer the service materials for development, from the viewpoint of the customer, important factors to use ubiquitous services are investigated in this study. Moreover, the study was progressed up to the new area of investigation how much these factors influenced ubiquitous service actual usage. To achieve these goals, Ubiquitous service adopting reflected in ubiquitous service characteristics was suggested in this study. The results of this study are as follows. First, contextual offer, ubiquity, invisibility are positively related to perceived value. Second, perceived value is positively related to usage intention but perceived risk is negatively related to usage intention. Third, usage intention is positively related to usage frequency. Based on these results, managerial implications for ubiquitous service vitalization are discussed. Lastly, the limitation of this research and further research issues are suggested.

This study examines the efficient use of radio frequencies, which become one of the new economic resources, with civil and military cooperation. The current status of radio frequency resource and its future demands are predicted. Some problems and solutions regarding the civil and military usage of frequencies are suggested. Finally, economic, systematic and technical plans are presented for efficient use of frequencies.

A single w& optical fiber strain gauge subjected to the excited PZT-plate is presented which was obtained using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. This paper has been performed the considerations to the experimental situation In which the dynamical behavior of a optical fiber strain gauge is illustrated. A comparison is reported between the dynamic response of a optical fiber strain gauge and the semiconductor strain gauge in the frequency range 5-50Hz. This result is shown in very good usage as the dynamical measurement of the low strain below l.mu..epsilon. by this system.

To identify the kinds and the usage of Korean traditional foods, a survey was conducted for 112 housewives in Hansan-Do area by using a questionnaire. The data were collected from 1994 to 1998. The results showed that the development of traditional foods and their menu for fast foods was the highest, however the frequency to use the developed fast food was the lowest in their perception degree. Traditional foods were evaluated much better than the foreign foods.

웹 로그 기반의 웹 사용 마이닝은 명시적 평가 의존, 확장성 결여, 그리고 다차원 및 희박한 데이터에 성능이 떨어지는 협력적 여과의 문제를 다소 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 k-Means 군집화 방법으로 생성된 군집속 유사 사용자 이동 패턴으로는 클러스터속 사용자 전체의 선호도를 표현할 수 없으므로 사용자 이동 패턴인 트랜잭션들로부터 사용 프로파일을 유도해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 유사 군집 사용자들의 관심과 기호를 표현할 수 있도록 클러스터 내부 데이타로부터 평균 가중치 및 빈발 지지도 임계값을 사용하여 개선된 사용 프로파일을 생성하고 실험 데이터를 통한 예측력과 추천에 대한 성능을 평가한다.

WWW images locate in structural, networking documents, so the importance of a word can be indicated by its location, frequency. There are two patterns for multi-cues ingegration annotation. The multi-cues integration algorithm shows initial promise as an indicator of semantic keyphrases of the web images. The latent semantic automatic keyphrase extraction that causes the improvement with the usage of multi-cues is expected to be preferable.

In this study, four alternatives for the arrangement of Korean alphabets on computer keyboards are developed and analyzed to find the better design than the KS(Korean Standard) keyboard. Among the developed four modified models MOD 1 to MOD4, we suggest MOD3 as the best design which incorporates the keys usage frequencies and the compatibility of present standard.

In this paper, the transmission service for medical image is proposed via IEEE 802.15.4a on WPAN environment. Also, transmission and receiving performance of medical image using TH UWB-IR system is evaluated on indoor multi-path fading environment. On the results, the proposed scheme can solve the problem of interference from the medical equipment in same frequency band, and minimize the loss due to the indoor multi-path fading environment. Therefore, the transmission with low power usage is possible.

A Simplified Finite Element Method(FEM) model has been developed for the Exhaust System. For the verification of the usage of the developed model , Natural Frequencies, Mode Shapes and Frequency Response Function have been compared between numerical analysis and experimental result. It shows that the developed numerical model also can be utilized to prove the Stress distribution of the Exhaust System if it can be adopted for the vibration analysis adequately.
