We give some sufficient conditions for the null and infinite derivatives of the $Riesz-N{\acute{a}}gy-Tak{\acute{a}}cs$ (RNT) singular function. Using these conditions, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of the infinite derivative points of the RNT singular function coincides with its packing dimension which is positive and less than 1 while the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability set of the RNT singular function does not coincide with its packing dimension 1.

For a subset $E{\subseteq}\mathbb{R}^d$ and $x{\in}\mathbb{R}^d$, the local Hausdorff dimension function of E at x and the local packing dimension function of E at x are defined by $$dim_{H,loc}(x,E)=\lim_{r{\searrow}0}dim_H(E{\cap}B(x,r))$$, $$dim_{P,loc}(x,E)=\lim_{r{\searrow}0}dim_P(E{\cap}B(x,r))$$, where $dim_H$ and $dim_P$ denote the Hausdorff dimension and the packing dimension, respectively. In this note we give a short and simple proof showing that for any pair of continuous functions $f,g:\mathbb{R}^d{\rightarrow}[0,d]$ with $f{\leq}g$, it is possible to choose a set E that simultaneously has f as its local Hausdorff dimension function and g as its local packing dimension function.

We give characterizations of the differentiability points and the non-differentiability points of the Riesz-N$\'{a}$gy-Tak$\'{a}$cs(RNT) singulr function using the distribution sets in the unit interval. Using characterizations, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability points of the RNT singular function is greater than 0 and the packing dimension of the infinite derivative points of the RNT singular function is less than 1. Further the RNT singular function is nowhere differentiable in the sense of topological magnitude, which leads to that the packing dimension of the non-differentiability points of the RNT singular function is 1. Finally we show that our characterizations generalize a recent result from the ($\tau$, $\tau$ - 1)-expansion associated with the RNT singular function adding a new result for a sufficient condition for the non-differentiability points.

Little empirical study has been conducted concerning board function effectiveness and organizational performance in nonprofit nongovernmental human service organizations in Korea. Using the evaluations of 107 board members and 17 executive directors in Korean Community Chest and 16 regional community chests, this study attempted to examine the level of board function effectiveness and its relationship with organizational performance in these community chests. This study used board function scale developed by Holland and Jackson (1998) to measure board function effectiveness in the following 6 dimensions: contextual dimension: educational dimension: interpersonal dimension: analytical dimension: political dimension: and strategic dimension. This study showed that using 4 points scale, mean of overall board function effectiveness evaluated by board members is 2.62 and mean of overall board function effectiveness evaluated by executive directors is 2.73. That is, it showed that means of overall board function effectiveness are located in the middle point between negative evaluation and positive evaluation. On the other hand, using parametric correlation analysis method, it was found that in these community chests the association between board function effectiveness and organizational performance measured by fund-raising growth rate in $1999{\sim}2000\;and\;1998{\sim}2000$ is very weak and statistically nonsignificant. This study also revealed that using nonparametric correlation analysis method, the association between consensus level in evaluation by board members and executive directors about board function effectiveness, and organizational performance is still very weak and statistically nonsignificant. Finally, this study discussed the direction of future research in board function effectiveness and its relationship with organizational performance and the areas of board management that requires substantial efforts for promoting effectiveness of nonprofit human service organizations in Korea.

We study the properties of non-diffenrentiable points of a self-similar Cantor function from which we conjecture a generalization of Darst's result that the Hausdorff dimension of the non-diffenrentiable points of the Cantor function is $(\frac{ln\;2}{ln\;3})^2$.

We consider a code function from the unit interval which has a generalized dyadic expansion into a coding space which has an associated ultra metric. The code function is not a bi-Lipschitz map but a dimension-preserving map in the sense that the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of any subset in the unit interval and its image under the code function coincide respectively.

A fractal analysis on fracture surface of aluminium-particulate SiC composites was attempted. As the volume fraction of SiC in composites increases, the fractal dimension tends to increase. However, no correlation between the fractal dimension and the fracture toughness in terms of critical energy release rate was observed. Since the fractal dimension represents the roughness of fracture surface, the fracture toughness would be a function of not only fracture surface roughness but also additional parameters. Thus the applicability of fractal analysis to the estimation of fracture toughness must depend on the proper choice and interpretation of additioal paramerters. In this paper, the size of characteristic strctural unit for fracture was considered as an additional parameter. As a result, the size appeared to be a function of only volume fraction of SiC. Finally, a master curve for fracture toughness of aluminium-particulate SiC composites was proposed as a function of fractal dimension and volume fraction of SiC.

The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater reliability of the Korean translation of the GMFM(Gross Motor Function Measure). Three licensed physical therapists with varying amounts(2 - 6 years) of clinical experience served as raters. Thirty patients with cerebral palsy were subjects for this study. Subjects were 22 boys and 8 girls, aged 1 to 8 years. Reliability of each dimension and each total score of the GMGM were analyzed using ICCs(intraclass correlation coefficients). The reliability of each dimension score ranged from .76 to .98, with the walking, running, and jumping dimension having higher reliability values. The reliability of the total dimension score was .94. We conclude that the GMFM has inter-rater reliability for assessing gross motor function in patients with cerebral palsy.

We study a singular function which we call a generalized cylinder convex(concave) function induced from different generalized dyadic expansion systems on the unit interval. We show that the generalized cylinder convex(concave)function is a singular function and the length of its graph is 2. Using a local dimension set in the unit interval, we give some characterization of the distribution set using its derivative, which leads to that this singular function is nowhere differentiable in the sense of topological magnitude.

We give the characterization of H$\ddot{o}$lder differentiability points and non-differentiability points of the Riesz-N$\acute{a}$gy-Tak$\acute{a}$cs (RNT) singular function ${\Psi}_{a,p}$ satisfying ${\Psi}_{a,p}(a)=p$. It generalizes recent multifractal and metric number theoretical results associated with the RNT function. Besides, we classify the singular functions using the singularity order deduced from the H$\ddot{o}$lder derivative giving the information that a strictly increasing smooth function having a positive derivative Lebesgue almost everywhere has the singularity order 1 and the RNT function ${\Psi}_{a,p}$ has the singularity order $g(a,p)=\frac{a{\log}p+(1-a){\log}(1-p)}{a{\log}a+(1-a){\log}(1-a)}{\geq}1$.
