In this paper, we extend the Gottlieb groups of a space to the Gottlieb groups of a map and show some properties of those groups. Especially, We show the 2nd Gottlieb group of a map is contained in the center of the homotopy group of the map and show $G_n(F) = \pi_n(f)$ for an H-map f between H-spaces. We also show the Gottlieb subgroups $G_n(A), G_n(X) and G_n(f)$ make a sequence if the map $f : A \to X$ has a right homotopy inverse.

This study intends to provide strategic positioning of brand image analysed from the view point of perceptual dimensions of clothing consumers. Consumers are segmented on the basis of the attributes of brand image, and in each segment, perceptual map is composed according to multidimensional scaling. The results are as follows; 1. According to the Benefit Segmentation, it is statistically significant that the consumers are divided into 'product-factor oriented group 'and' image-factor oriented group'. 2. From the analysis of perceptual map upon the 'similarity of brand image,'image-factor oriented group 'perceives more differently than 'product-factor oriented group' 3. From the analysis of perceptual map with the evaluation of attributes of brand image, price, promotion and design are significant determinants in 'total consumer group'. In addition, store image is significant determinant in' image-factor oriented group' and quality is significant determinant in' product-factor oriented group'. According to the evaluation of consumers on 8 brands with determining attribute-vector, ranks of brands in each segment are similar in the vector of price and promotion but different in the vector of design between segment groups. 4. From the analysis of perceptual map upon the preference of brand image, the distribution of preference and position of ideal point are different between segment groups. 5. With evaluation of purchase habit, statistically significant differences are found between groups segmented in the degree of importance of attributes, purchasing motive, purchasing time, sources of information and expenses for clothes.

Background: We evaluated the changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), and the anesthetic and hemostatic effects, after injection of 2% lidocaine containing various concentrations of epinephrine in rats and mice to determine the appropriate concentration of epinephrine in various anesthetic mixtures. Methods: Rats and mice were randomly allocated to experimental groups: 2% lidocaine without epinephrine (L0), 2% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 (L200), 1:100,000 (L100), and 1:80,000 (L80). Changes in MAP and HR after administration of the anesthetic mixture were evaluated using a physiological recording system in rats. Onset and duration of local anesthesia was evaluated by pricking the hind paw of mice. A spectrophotometric hemoglobin assay was used to quantify the hemostatic effect. Results: MAP increased in response to epinephrine in a dose-dependent manner; it was significantly higher in the L80 group than in the L0 group at 5 min post-administration. The HR was relatively lower in the L0 group than in the L80 group. The time required for onset of action was < 1 min in all evaluation groups. The duration of action and hemostatic effect of the local anesthetic were significantly better in the L200, L100, and L80 groups than in the L0 group. Conclusion: L200 demonstrated relatively stable MAP and HR values with satisfactory efficacy and hemostatic effect. L200 might be a better local anesthetic for dental patients in terms of anesthetic efficacy and safety.

Mind map is a very useful technique for brainstorming. Therefore, it can be effectively used for collaboration as a creative group conception. However, existing mind map software is not possible to collaborate because it is difficult to share mind map or discuss among members. In this study, we developed a mind map system that can support collaborative work as well as individual authoring and editing. This can incorporate individual mind maps of members into mind map of team, share and discuss them, and modify the mind map. This is convenient because it does not require a separate program installation, and verifies usability to support the process of collaborative process through usability evaluation.

In military operations, an accurate localization system is required to navigate soldiers to their destinations, even in non-GPS environments. The global positioning system is a commonly used localization method, but it is difficult to maintain the robustness of GPS-based localization against jamming of signals. In addition, GPS-based localization cannot provide important terrain information such as obstacles. With the widespread use of embedded sensors, sensor-based pedestrian tracking schemes have become an attractive option. However, because of noisy sensor readings, pedestrian tracking systems using motion sensors have a major drawback in that errors in the estimated displacement accumulate over time. We present a group-based standalone system that creates terrain maps automatically while also locating soldiers in mountainous terrain. The system estimates landmarks using inertial sensors and utilizes split group information to improve the robustness of map construction. The evaluation shows that our system successfully corrected and combined the drift error of the system localization without infrastructure.

This paper observes that the induced homomorphisms on cohomology groups by a cyclic map are trivial. For a CW-complex X, we use the fact to obtain some conditions of X so that the n-th Gottlieb group $G_n(X)$ is trivial for an even positive integer n. As corollaries, for any positive integer m, we obtain $G_{2m}(S^{2m})\;=\;0\;and\;G_2(CP^m)\;=\;0$ which are due to D. H. Gottlieb and G. Lang respectively, where $S^{2m}$ is the 2m- dimensional sphere and $CP^m$ is the complex projective m-space. Moreover, we show that $G_4(HP^m)\;=\;0\;and\;G_8(II)\;=\;0,\;where\;HP^m$ is the quaternionic projective m-space for any positive integer m and II is the Cayley projective space.

Image saliency detection is the basis of perceptual image processing, which is significant to subsequent image processing methods. Most saliency detection methods can detect only a single object with a high-contrast background, but they have no effect on the extraction of a salient object from images with complex low-contrast backgrounds. With the prior knowledge, this paper proposes a method for detecting salient objects by combining the boundary contrast map and the geodesics-like maps. This method can highlight the foreground uniformly and extract the salient objects efficiently in images with low-contrast backgrounds. The classical receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, which compares the salient map with the ground truth map, does not reflect the human perception. An ROC curve with distance (distance receiver operating characteristic, DROC) is proposed in this paper, which takes the ROC curve closer to the human subjective perception. Experiments on three benchmark datasets and three low-contrast image datasets, with four evaluation methods including DROC, show that on comparing the eight state-of-the-art approaches, the proposed approach performs well.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is now placing emphasis on the importance of a new and renewable energy resource map service as an essential means of promoting the dissemination and adoption of renewable energy and other related industrial activities. To raise satisfaction with the new and renewable energy resource map service and promote its utilization, a survey was conducted on a sample group with an academic research background, i.e. employees of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) who have a thorough understanding of the technological concepts behind the new and renewable energy resource map. Statistical analysis of the survey results showed a high level of overall satisfaction with the web service for the new and renewable energy resource map. Therefore, it was concluded that the development of practical contents rather than the enhancement of web service convenience is required. A statistically significant trend was also observed whereby, the longer the professional career of the survey respondents, the greater their perception and utilization of, and satisfaction with, the enhanced service, which indicates that their level of understanding and utilization of technological concepts corresponds to their research experience record. In addition, the results obtained from the questionnaires regarding the evaluation of the utilization value of the resource map service indicated that use of the service was equally high in terms of political, business and academic applications. The results confirmed the need to develop multidimensional resource map contents that can be applied to as many fields as possible, rather than focusing on a specific terrain.

In complex industrial world, many companies make every effort to analyze their competition capability through various performance evaluation tools to cope with rapidly changing business environment. Among evaluation tools the balanced scorecard (BSC), put forward by Kaplan and Norton in 1992, is a strategic performance management tool for measuring whether the smaller-scale operational activities of a company are aligned with its larger-scale objectives in terms of vision and strategy. The BSC tool offers a comparative advantage over others to evaluate the objective achievement of a company by linking its strategic objectives with operational KPI. In this paper, we introduce a case that the BSC performance evaluation system was implemented based on product data management and applied it to the business process. Specially, we shows a implementation procedure to derive discipline-specific topics and key performance metrics.
