Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of eHealth literacy on health promoting behaviors, thereby providing basic data for the development of interventions for health promoting behaviors among university students. Methods: Data were collected from 242 university students aged 19 and over in a university located in K province in South Korea. Participants responded to structured questionnaires in September 2018. eHealth literacy and health promoting behaviors were measured by eHealth Litaracy (EHL) and a translated version of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II), respectively. The correlation between eHealth literacy and health promoting behaviors were analyzed using Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis was carried out to examine the influence of eHealth literacy on health promoting behaviors. Results: The participants had a moderate level of eHealth literacy with the greatest score recorded in the sub-domain of functional eHealth literacy and the lowest in the sub-domain of critical eHealth literacy. Female students and students who majored in healthcare had higher levels of eHealth literacy than male students and those with non-healthcare majors. The degree of health promoting behaviors was moderate or lower with the highest score being in the sub-domain of interpersonal support and the lowest in the sub-domain of health responsibility. Health promoting behaviors had significant relationships with eHealth literacy, exercise hours, subjective health status, and health concerns. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the participants engaged more in health promoting behaviors when they had greater eHealth literacy (β=.18, p<.001), interest in their own health (β=.33, p<.001), exercise hours (β=.18~.23, p<.001), and subjective health status (β=.17~.18, p=.007~.031). Conclusion: In order to facilitate health promoting behaviors of university students, interventions for health promoting behaviors need to be developed including strategies to improve competencies relevant to critical eHealth literacy and to increase exercise hours.

The purpose of this study was to be a help with designing science curriculum and developing science programs for the science gifted students by comparing their preferences about science class forms and class environments between science gifted students and normal students. For this study, 2 classes of science gifted students and 5 classes of normal students in 4th, 5th grade joined in this survey and their preferences about science class forms and class environments were checked using questionnaire. As a result, the following findings were obtained. First, in the area of class form, from comparing their preferences about teaching content domain, science gifted students showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as clarification, structuralization, thinking of high level and diversification. In comparing their preferences about teaching process domain, science gifted students also showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as diversification and self directed learning. Second, in the area of class environment, from comparing their preferences about classroom domain, science gifted students showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as teacher's support and rule and organization. In comparing their preferences about mentality domain, science gifted students also showed meaningful higher preferences in all factors such as influence of friends and parents. Third, in science gifted students, from comparing their preferences by gender about science class forms and class environments, female students showed meaningful higher preferences in factors of clarification. And in other factors females showed similar preference tendency with male students. In normal students' comparing, female students showed meaningful higher preferences in factors of teacher's support.

This study was undertaken to determine the influence in the Z-disk domain of titin on the tenderization of meat by the structure change of myofibrillar Z-disks during post-mortem aging. After weakening the structure of Z-disks, the Z-disk region was splitted. As the results, myofibrils were fragmented by mechanical strength. Using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, we show that the Z-disk domain of titin was disappeared from myofibrils in this period. There phenomenon were also shown by treating myofibrils with a solution containing 0.1mM $Ca^{2+}$. We conclude that change in Z-disk domain of titin is directly effected on the tenderization of meat during post-mortem aging and these change is due to manily calcium ions.

Dynamic analyses for a suite of ground of motions were conducted on concrete gravity dam sections to examine the earthquake induced stresses and effective damping. For this purpose, frequency domain methods that rigorously incorporate dam-reservoir-foundation interaction and time domain methods with approximate hydrodynamic foundation interaction effects were employed. The maximum principal tensile stresses and their distribution at the dam base, which are important parameters for concrete dam design, were obtained using the frequency domain approach. Prediction equations were proposed for these stresses and their distribution at the dam base. Comparisons of the stress results obtained using frequency and time domain methods revealed that the dam height and ratio of modulus of elasticity of foundation rock to concrete are significant parameters that may influence earthquake induced stresses. A new effective damping prediction equation was proposed in order to estimate earthquake stresses accurately with the approximate time domain approach.

Recently, among the computational methods of protein-protein interaction prediction, vast amounts of domain based methods originated from domain-domain relation consideration have been developed. However, it is true that multi domains collaboration is avowedly ignored because of computational complexity. In this paper, we implemented a protein interaction prediction system based the Interaction Significance matrix, which quantified an influence of domain combination pair on a protein interaction. Unlike conventional domain combination methods, IS matrix contains weighted domain combinations and domain combination pair power, which mean possibilities of domain collaboration and being the main body on a protein interaction. About 63% of sensitivity and 94% of specificity were measured when we use interaction data from DIP, IntAct and Pfam-A as a domain database. In addition, prediction accuracy gradually increased by growth of learning set size, The prediction software and learning data are currently available on the web site.

A weakly nonlinear seakeeping methodology for predicting motions and loads is presented in this paper. This methodology assumes linear radiation and diffraction forces, calculated in the frequency domain, and fully nonlinear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces, evaluated in the time domain. The particular approach employed here allows to overcome numerical problems connected to the determination of the impulse response functions. The procedure is divided into three consecutive steps: evaluation of dynamic sinkage and trim in calm water that can significantly influence the final results, a linear seakeeping analysis in the frequency domain and a weakly nonlinear simulation. The first two steps are performed employing a three-dimensional Rankine panel method. Nonlinear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces are computed in the time domain by pressure integration on the actual wetted surface at each time step. Although nonlinear forces are evaluated into the time domain, the equations of motion are solved in the frequency domain iteratively passing from the frequency to the time domain until convergence. The containership S175 is employed as a test case for evaluating the capability of this methodology to correctly predict the nonlinear behavior related to wave induced motions and loads in head seas; numerical results are compared with experimental data provided in literature.

Under the recent global business environment and active e-commerce era through digital media, the decision on the exporting companies' brand and web domain development is a very crucial strategic choice. Especially, since web domain development is closely related with company's brand strategy, this study is conducted to research the decisive factors of exporting brand strategy on the basis of the need research results on Korean exporting company's overseas brand and domain development strategy. As presented in statistical results, in case of Korean exporting businesses, the level of OEM brand export was when there was high export competitiveness and the level of OEM brand export was high when there was higher uncertainty about the environment. This supports the hypotheses on the basis of existing research documents. However, the similarities of markets failed to bring out any statistical meaningful influence. As the second result, businesses with high export competitiveness tend to select global brand strategy and businesses with high environment uncertainty tend to choose local brand strategy. However, the similarity of markets failed to show any statistical meaningful influence.

A new seamless multiscale simulation was developed for coupling the continuum model with its molecular dynamics. Kriging-based Finite Element Method (K-FEM) is employed to model the continuum base of the entire domain, while the molecular dynamics (MD) is confined in a localized domain of interest. In the coupling zone, where the MD domain overlaps the continuum model, the overall Hamiltonian is postulated by contributions from the continuum and the molecular overlays, based on a quartic spline scaling parameter. The displacement compatibility in this coupling zone is then enforced by the Lagrange multiplier technique. A multiple-time-step velocity Verlet algorithm is adopted for its time integration. The validation of the present method is reported through numerical tests of one dimensional atomic lattice. The results reveal that at the continuum/MD interface, the commonly reported spurious waves in the literature are effectively eliminated in this study. In addition, the smoothness of the transition from MD to the continuum can be significantly improved by either increasing the size of the coupling zone or expanding the nodal domain of influence associated with K-FEM.

The aim of this paper is to present some results of sensitivity analysis in frequency domain. The sensitivity fonctions in frequency domain is not depend on the external excitation but depend on the frequency of the system's resonance. The sensitivity functions are determined as function of partial derivatives of system transfer functions taken with respect to system design parameters. The logarithmic sensitivity function is the dimensionless sensitivity funciton available, making it useful to compare the influence of various parameters on system variables. Two degree of fredom system is used to illustrate the procedure for sensitivity analysis proposed in this paper.
