  • In this paper, we proposed that a novel method base on a binary image that technique is proposed for data hiding into binary images and halftone image. A binary image is bitmap image and halftone is composed by two-tone value in a limited region in an image. For this reason, it is not easy to hide messages in binary images. PWLC is a new method to hide a message in binary images. However, it yields images of unacceptable quality, unless you should change very few of it. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we used run-length method into binary images. That is, we find a proper region to hide messages. In this paper, we proposed new method to hide messages in binary images. In addition, we proved that our algorithm is better than PWLC through the experiment.

  • The purpose of this study is to compare the cognition of SIDS as the first step for decreasing the SIDS death rate for the infant and for activity of infant-care in Korea. Participants were 409 child care center directors and 146 parents from 500 child care center directors and 200 parents who using child care center facilities for their children in Seoul. For analysis of research questions, frequencies, Cronbach $\alpha$, t-test,One-way ANOVA, Scheffee test were used with SPSSWIN 15.0. Through this study, we find the child care center directors have good cognition for it, but their effort for SIDS prevention is limited, because they don't have any official prevention education from authorized training center. Even though the parents have a low awareness for SIDS prevention than child care center directors, but they have high score in endeavor for SIDS precaution. Both child care center directors and parents want to receive systematic information from government side. Our infant should have a opportunity to grow up health and stability from reducing the risk of SIDS. In western countries such as U.S.A., U.K. and Japan have studied to decrease the SIDS death rate from thirty years ago, they have already government and social organization for preventing the SIDS. Nowadays, as you know well, our country birth-rate is falling by 1.08, therefore, it is important to decrease the infant death rate for keeping with our population. Also, it is relevant to the child-welfare and the child-safety and more better the child-care.

  • In this article, mordant absorption rate by the Change of temperature and fabric, discharge level by water washing, mordant density and method in mordant dye are going to be handled. Besides, how treatment method will have an effect on absorption rate and color, is also going to be covered. An atom extinction photometer was used to measure the amount of mordant absorbed in fabric at each temperature and mordant type. It turned out that absorption rate differs according to the type of mordant and sample or temperature. Also it turned out that the mordant input amount has little influence on absorption rate, that is to say, if though you use more mordants, just tiny amount of mordant is going to be absorbed in cloth. It is true that the higher temperature goes up, the better mordant absorption gets. It is found that the type of mordant and sample, treatment period affects the discharge rate. Normally $15{\~}98\%$ mordant comes off the fabric by water washing, to be specific, $17{\~}47\%$ Iron by water washing and it has better performance on cotton and nylon than silk, $1\%{\~}52\%$ Aluminum by water washing and better absorption on silk, $36{\~}89\%$ Chrome by water washing and better absorption on silk, $50{\~}89\%$ copper by water washing and better absorption on silk, poor on cotton. The examination of the K/S values and colors between before and after soaping has been conducted under the circumstance that the test fabrics had been treated at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes with $0.2\%$ soaping solution. In case of pre-mordanted fabrics, the K/S value nosedived after soaping, meanwhile densely mordanted fabric's K/S value soared but after soaping, it dropped sharply. It turned out that soaping treatment deteriorates absorption much more than water washing. It's considered that $0.1 \%$ (W/V) of mordant density is appropriate.

  • The purpose of this study is to compare the key research-related constructs, research insterest, research self-efficacy, research productivity, and research outcome expectation of the graduate students, who are participating in Global Ph.D Fellowship (GPF) and Brain Korea (BK) 21 projects. The overall results show that the mean scores of GPF students in research interest, research self-efficacy, research productivity, and research outcome expectation are higher than those of BK21. However, the higher mean scores of doctoral students in both GPF and BK21 projects imply that the longer you stay in graduate program, the better researcher you can be. Although GPF program selected higher potential students and they seem to work very hard with high expectation to be competent researchers, compatible outcome also could be possible by BK21 project.

  • Recently many countries have established open government data platforms to disclose government or government controlled entities-owned data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone. Open government data can help you to make better decisions in your own life, or enable you to be more active in society. Open data is also making government more effective and transparent, which ultimately also reduces costs. This paper explains the open data concepts and circumstances in Korea, and also suggests detailed invigorating strategies such as data quality policy, data unification and standardization policy, open data service platform, and integrated support plan of big data and open government data.

  • It was proved that both ethanol extracts from Mori Folium from Kangwon do and silk worm had higher inhibition acitivity on $\alpha$-glucohydrolase than the water extracts. In adding above 8.5 (mg/L) of silkworm extracts, the inhibition rate on $\alpha$-1,4 glucosidase was saturated while the inhibition rate was continuously increased in adding the extracts from Moli Folium. It was also found that the diethyl ether fraction showed much better inhibition activity than water fraction from ethanol extracts, yielding ca. 85% of inhibition rate for the extract of Moli Folium, compared to 91% for a commercially available hypoglycemic drug, Chloropropamide. In separating the diethyl ether fractions by Consecutive Sephadex gel filtration and Thin layer chromatography, three and four active spots were obtained from Moli Folium and silkworm, respectively. It is interesting that the similar Rf spots from both species among several spots in TLC have the highest inhibition acitivity on a target enzyme, which can imply that the active substances from both species are same or similar molecular weight and structure. Glucose-lowering activities of both speciese were also examined in vivo, showing that the fraction from Moli Folium had better activity than that from silkworm, and its activity was similar to that of a commercial drug.

  • Floor impact sounds from two different floor systems were measured. One of the two floor systems is a dry floor system (with 150mm concrete slab) and the other is a standard floor system (210mm concrete slab). Real impact sources such as jumping and running of children were used as well as standard impact sources (bang machine, impact ball and tapping machine) to evaluate sound Isolation of the two floor systems. Subjective evaluations of the floor impact sound isolation performance for the two systems were also conducted by the methods of 3 scales & 9 categories, paired comparison and semantic differentials. Measurement results indicate that floor impact sound isolation performance of the dry floor was better than that of standard floor in both cases of real and standard impact sources. The subjects in auditory experiments also evaluated the dry floor as a better sound isolation system.

  • As of 2020, about 500 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube, a representative online video platform, per minute. As the number of users acquiring information through various uploaded videos is increasing, online video platforms are making efforts to provide better recommendation services. The currently used recommendation service recommends videos to users based on the user's viewing history, which is not a good way to recommend videos that deal with specific purposes and interests, such as educational videos. The recent recommendation system utilizes not only the user's viewing history but also the content features of the item. In this paper, we extract the content features of educational video for educational video recommendation based on YouTube, design a recommendation system using it, and implement it as a web application. By examining the satisfaction of users, recommendataion performance and convenience performance are shown as 85.36% and 87.80%.
