In this paper a detailed description of collecting Korean audio-video speech data is presented. The main aim of this experiment is to collect some audio-video materials which can be used for later experiments to estimate and model the actions of the visible human articulatory organs such as mouth, lips and jaw. We collect audio-video data from seven directions separately. Twelve markers are used to trace the movements.

The aim of this study is to investigate the parametric characteristics on regenerative system with oxy-fuel combustion by experiment. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is used for evaluating regenerator characteristics according to design parameters such as ball (regenerator medium) size, regenerator weight, and bypass of exhaust gas. The temperature profiles with time are varied by ball size and regenerator weight. The bypass of exhaust gas shows that the heat recovery ratio increases while the regenerating temperature efficiency slightly decreases.

Food Self-sufficiency rate in Korea was 26.4 percent in 1996. It include $89.9{\%}$ for rice, $99.6{\%}$ for root and tuber crops, and $73.5{\%}$ for barley. To make things worse, self-sufficiency for wheat and corn were far less than 1 percent. As food is considered as weapon, every effort should be given to increase the self-sufficiency. In order to cope with expected food crisis, we suggest wheat and barley be grown in winter period, where there is climate fit. The aim of this paper is to survey systematically the status of food supply and demand of wheat and barley and to encourage farmers make double cropping systems with better stability in yield and economic return.

As decision makers do not make optimal decisions in practice despite the existence of optimal solutions in many models, there has been a rising interest in behavioral operations management recently. In this study, we aim for a comparative study to analyze the inventory decisions in Korea, America, and China, by conducting the same newsvendor experiment in Korea and compare the results with those of previous studies. From the comparative analysis, some national characteristics in decision-making processes have been observed but there is lowly significant difference in order quantities among the three groups. Korean students show lower level of understanding in demand distributions and tendencies of anchoring on the mean demand and being risk-averse. The finding that individuals make their own decisions differently based on their different behaviors suggests that we need to consider individual approach in analyzing human decision-making processes rather than adapting aggregate approach.

This study compared the characteristics of an experiment f or determining whether gas occupies space presented in elementary school science textbooks to examine the validity of the experiment, identify and improve problems in its presentation, and verify its effectiveness. This study interviewed third-year elementary school teachers who had experience teaching this experiment to students. Based on teachers' opinions and observations, this study identified issues with the current experiment, developed an improved experiment, and determined its effectiveness. Through this analysis, three key findings emerged. First, the study found that the original experiment on gases was presented in the same or highly similar manner in 5 of 7 textbooks (71.4%). Thus, while various textbooks have been developed with the aim of promoting diversity and creativity in scientific literature, most experiments presented in these books are identical. Second, the existing experiment was not suitable for its target audience (third-year elementary school students) and was difficult to observe directly. The interviewed teachers also deemed the validity of the experiment to be considerably low. Finally, the original experiment was improved; this improved version was determined to be highly valid, showing a statistically significant difference compared with the original experiment. The improved experiment was effective for students as it involved activities suitable for their intellectual level and was directly observable through the senses. Thus, the study analyzed and improved an existing science experiment f or elementary students, providing insights into the 2022 revised science authorized textbooks and implications for future textbook development.

The aim of this study is to analyze and improve the experiment of the acid-base neutralization reaction described in science textbooks. The problems in the neutralization reaction of NaOH-HCl solution were following; 1) the decoloration of phenolphthalein solution, 2) the color change of the titrated solution during condensation for the confirmation of the salt crystals, 3) the difficulty for the confirmation of the salt crystals. These problems are explained by the structure change of phenolphthalein and the improved experiment is proposed.

Recently, rods having irregular sections more complex than a rectangle or ellipse are necessary to produce mechanical parts. The cold shaped drawing process is used to obtain shaped drawn products with high levels of dimensional accuracy and quality. A cross roller guide, considered in this study, is one of the parts produced by shaped drawing process. A cross roller guide has a linear bearing system that rolls along a guide way. A cross roller guide is one of the most important components in terms of equipment because the quality of the product influences the precision linear motion. Therefore, the final dimensional accuracy of the linear rail in the shaped drawing is very important. The objective of this study is to find the optimized die angles to improve the dimensional accuracy and straightness of the final shaped drawn product. In order to achieve the aim of this study, design of experiment, FE-simulation, and the Taguchi method were used. Based on the analytical results, shaped drawing experiment has been performed to verify the result.

The present study aims to discover the effects of Dance sports program upon the hormone reaction of middle aged women. For this aim, 18 women in their 40 s were randomly selected and assigned to the experiment group and control group, evenly. The experiment group underwent a 12-week lesson of Dance sports program. Before training, and 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the onset of the lesson, the effects of hormone reaction of the group were investigated and the outcomes of the analysis could be concluded as follows: Both estrogen and growth hormone in the experiment group 12 weeks later result compared with the control group 0 week that practiced Dance Sports programs increased significantly (p<.001). In conclusion, it may be said that the 12-week session of Dance sports program exercised a positive effect to training seems to suggest the possibility of the dance lesson to have effects on the increase of estrogen and growth hormone. The study indicates a number of further are as into understanding that is worked out in consideration of practice period and proper weight for more efficient results, instead of a program that is just composed of an aerobic exercise only.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of milk as one of the environmental friendly materials that substitute chemical fungicides for control powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca aphanis) of strawberries $(Fragaria{\times}ananassa\;Duch.)$. 'Maehyang' and 'Akihime' varieties planted in greenhouses were evaluated for the control of powdery mildew. Applications of $5\%,\;10\%\;and\;20\%$ milk had much better effects on controlling powdery mildew. In particular, $10\%$ milk showed a higher efficacy than other concentrations applied onto straw­berry in greenhouse experiments. Foliar spray application of $10\%$ milk was effective for powdery mildew, whereas drench application was not. Also, foliar spray of $10\%$ milk was able to accelerate more firmness and calcium contents of strawberry fruits than the non-treated. The $10\%$ milk applied with fertilizer salts $(Ca(H_2PO_4)_2-H_2O\;and KH_2PO_4)$ showed there was a similar efficacy to $10\%$ milk alone in greenhouse experiments. White crystals and cracks on strawberry fruits appeared by $20\%$ milk. This result indicated that $10\%$ milk was a useful substitute for fungicides to control powdery mildew of strawberry.
