The fiddler crab, Uca lactea, which lives on intertidal mudflats in Korea, exhibits both burrow mating and surface mating. We observed 17 cases of surface mating that occurred on Ganghwa Island, South Korea. Most surface-mating males did not build semidomes, structures that attract searching females for burrow mating. Based on the conclusion of a previous study that semidome building is condition-dependent, we suggest that food availability may influence the mating tactic of this species. In addition, there was a strong correlation between the carapace size of both sexes that surface-mated, which suggests that males use body size of females as a mating cue.

A three-dimensional windshield display (3D-WSD) can present driving information at the same depth as the objects in the outside scene. Herein, a super-multiview 3D-WSD is proposed because the super-multiview display technique provides smooth motion parallax. Motion parallax is the only physiological cue for perceiving the depth of a 3D image displayed at a far distance, which cannot be perceived by vergence and binocular parallax. A prototype system with 36 views was constructed, and the discontinuity of motion parallax and accuracy of depth perception were evaluated.

사람은 일반적으로 깊이를 지각하는데 두 눈으로 들어오는 영상의 시차(binocular disparity)를 이용하며 6-15m 정도의 범위 내에서는 매우 뛰어난 깊이 판별 능력을 보인다. 그러나 사람은 하나의 눈만으로도 깊이를 지각하는데 별 어려움을 느끼지 못한다. 이것은 공간의 깊이 지각 단서로 양안단서안이 아니라 다양한 단안단서(monocular Cue)들이 함께 사용되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 사람이 공간 깊이정보 파악에 사용하는 것으로 알려진 여러 단안 단서들 중 영상의 채도(saturation) 정보와 디포커스(defocus) 정보, 기하학적 깊이(geometric depth) 정보에 기반을 둔 단안 영상에서의 상대적 깊이지도의 생성방법을 제안한다.

Handoff is one of the most important factors that ma? degrade the performance of TCP connections in wireless data networks. In this paper, we present a lossless and duplication free handoff scheme called LPM (Last Packet Marking) for improving Cellular If semisoft handoff. LPM signals the safe handoff cue by sending a specially marked packet to mobile hosts. SPM (Semisoft rePly Message) is the only newly introduced control packet. Our performance study shows that LPM achieves lossless packet delivery without duplication and increases TCP throughput significantly.

This paper presents the development of estimation model and control method based on the new robot vision. This proposed control method is accomplished using the sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of the rigid body in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model with six parameters is developed based on the model that generalizes known 4-axis scara robot kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. Based on the estimated parameters, depending on each camera the joint angle of robot is estimated by the iteration method. The method is experimentally tested in two ways, the estimation model test and a three-dimensional rigid body placement task. Three results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as assembly and welding.

본 논문에서는 영상에서의 시각적 자극의 특징에 의한 돌출과 특정 대상에 관련한 단서들간의 상호작용에 기반하여 얼굴을 검출하는 주의집중모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 얼굴에 대한 하향식 다중 단서로 모양(shape), 피부색(skin color), 밝기(luminance), 거리에 대응하는 크기, 깊이 등을 사용하며 이들 단서들이 상향식 프로세스와의 상호작용을 통해 목표하는 얼굴을 검출하도록 유도하는 상향식/하향식 결합에 기반한다. 제안하는 방법은 크기 및 회전변화를 갖는 다수의 얼굴을 포함한 영상에서 얼굴검출을 수행함으로써 성능을 검증하였다.

This study aimed to identify the differences in pitch perception between tonal and non-tonal language listeners. A total of 60 Korean and Chinese listeners participated in the perception test. A two-syllable nonsense word /paba/ was manipulated in five steps. The pitch height or contour on the second syllable was raised or lowered. Both groups were asked to select which of the two syllables had the higher pitch. The findings showed that the majority of Korean listeners (GK) perceived decreased pitch as each peak of the syllable was lowered and perceived increased pitch as it was raised, which means the pitch height is a primary perceptual cue for GK. However, Chinese listeners (GC) perceived sensitive pitch movements as the pitch contour changed. GC's perception may presumably be affected by the L1's tone sandhi. We found it reasonable to assume that language experience has a significant effect on the cross-linguistic perceptual differences between tone and non-tonal language listeners.

D2D(Device-to-Device) 통신은 이동통신망을 기반으로 동작할 경우 이동통신망의 자원을 재사용함으로써 자원이용의 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 그러나 동일자원을 사용하는 이동통신개체와 D2D 통신 단말(DUE) 사이에 신호 간섭이 발생할 수 있어 이를 고려한 자원할당기법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 D2D 통신이 이동통신망의 상향링크자원을 재사용할 때 DUE로부터 기지국으로의 간섭으로 인한 CUE의 상향링크 전송률 손실 대비 DUE로 얻는 전송률 이득이 극대화하는 DUE에게 자원을 할당함으로써 동일자원을 사용하는 DUE와 이동통신개체 간 간섭을 완화하고 망의 수율 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 자원할당기법을 제안한다.

This study presents experiments which examined the role of amplitude and fundamental frequency (f0) in the phonetic perception of short versus long stop length contrasts in Japanese (e.g., [t] vs. [tt]). Stop length contrasts are normally characterized by differences in the duration of stop closures. However, closure duration can be unreliable as a perceptual cue when one considers variability in the rate at which people speak. Acoustically, the amplitude and f0 of the vowel following stop consonants are known to covary with the length distinction of stops in Japanese. Given this fact, the current study examined amplitude and f0 as potential secondary cues to the distinction. The results indicate that even though both amplitude and f0 are robust correlates, Japanese listeners do not use these cues in categorizing short versus long stops.

Many researches have concluded that product advantage or superiority is the most important factor for the commercial success of new products. However, the specific dimensions of product advantage have not been studied as yet. In order to know what kind of product attributes have been major determinants of commercial success, telecommunications winning products from 1985 to 1997 in the Korean market were examined. As results of the analysis, the determinants are classified into function, aesthetics, economy, safety, usability, reliability, brand image, assurance, distribution channel, advertisement, DEF(design for the environment). This study augmented the data set through questionnaire survey to marketing professor in University. The results will be a cue to future of new product development.
