  • Recently, the severe competition in the internet shopping mall has forced firms to increase the customer satisfaction and to enhance service quality Despite the internet shopping mall's fast and superficial growth and extraordinary potential, study on (actors affecting service quality based on its characteristics is meager. Most researchers have studied on the service quality related with the internal shopping mall by just applying measurement items in internet environment. This paper tries to analyze whether the internet shopping mall can be reorganized by introducing factors of service quality specifically with reference to the internet showing mall. In addition, this study focuses on developing the method to measure the service quality more effectively. For this purpose, this study applies the Taguchi Method using quality loss function (QLF) which can be used to measure quality quantitatively. The proposed method provides the measurement of the internet shopping mall's service quality and offers to the practitioner a measurement tools suitable for service industry.

  • Cooray and Ananda (2005) proposed a composite lognormal-Pareto model to analyze loss payment data in the actuarial and insurance industries. Their model is based on a lognormal density up to an unknown threshold value and a two-parameter Pareto density. In this paper, we implement the minimum density power divergence estimation for the composite lognormal-Pareto density. We compare the performances of the minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE) and the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) by simulations and an example. The minimum density power divergence estimator performs reasonably well against various violations in the distribution. The minimum density power divergence estimator better fits small observations and better resists against extraordinary large observations than the maximum likelihood estimator.

  • An optical novelty filter is implemented using photorefractive materal(BaTiO$_{3}$) as a recording materal and commercial liquid crystal TV as a spatial light polarization modulator. If a signal beam incident at the proper, the loop and the crossing angle inside th e crystal is formed to get maximum diffraction efficiency and BaTiO$_{3}$ as a self-pumped phase conjugation mirror show that phase conjugate reflectivity was 20 times as much as ordinary polarization if signal beam is extraordinary. In this paper, the stoke's theorem which is a reciprocal theorem for which is a reciprocal theorem for beam path is experimentally proved, and good output images were obtained with optical experiment of novelty filter which is formed by use of Michelson interferometer.

  • Merits, attributes and challenges associated with the application of analytical modeling in electronics and photonics materials science are addressed, based mostly on the author's research during his tenure with Bell Labs, University-of-California, Portland State University, and small business innovative research (SBIR) ERS Co., USA. The emphasis is on practically important, yet often paradoxical, i.e., intuitively non-obvious, material behaviors. It is concluded that when material reliability is crucial, ability to effectively quantify it is imperative, and that analytical modeling is the most suitable, although never straightforward, technique to understand, explain and quantify material behaviors, especially in extreme, extraordinary and paradoxical situations.

  • The grinding plays a key role which decide the quality of a product finally. But the grinding process is very irregular, so it is very difficult to analyse the process accurately. Therefore it is very important in the aspect of precision and automation to reduce the idle time and to decide the proper dressing time by visualizing. In this study, we choose the direct method of observation by making use of computer vision, and apply pattern classification technique to the method of measuring the wheel surface. Pattern classification technique is proper to analyse complex surface image. We observe the change of the wheel surface by making use of the gray level run lengths which are representative prince in this technique.

  • Hydrophobins are surface active proteins that are produced by filamentous fungi including mushrooms. Their ability to self-assemble into an amphipathic membrane at any hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface is most intriguing. These small secreted proteins comprise of eight conserved cysteine residues which form four disulfide bridges and an extraordinary hydrophobic patch. Hydrophobins play critical roles in fungal (and/or mushrooms) growth as structural components and in the interaction of fungi and mushrooms with the environment. The biophysical and biochemical properties of the isolated proteins are remarkable, such as strong adhesion, high surface activity and the formation of various self-assembled structures. With the increasing demands of hydrophobins from fungi and mushroom sources, production and purification in large scale is under challenge. Various applications, ranging from food industries, cosmetics, nanotechnology, biosensors and electrodes, to biomaterials and pharmaceuticals are emerging and a bright future is foreseen.

  • The Background and Purpose : Many herb-medicines are frequently used in China but they are not in Korea. It is required to prove them worthy to introduce into Korea and to find substitutes for them. The Objective and Methods : During stay in China as a Professor extraordinary, I investigated applications of Chinese modicines, books and theses. The Results and Conclusions : 1. In China the cheap herb-medicines are chosen preferentially and the classic rules of oriental medicine are truly observed. 2. in China it is impossible to prove virtue of ready made herb-medicines because constituents are not opened. 3. Commonly used herb-medicines are drug of clean away heat(淸熱藥) which are antinflammatories or anti-toxins. 4. Antitumorigenic effects was frequently reported but they don't get complete agreement also in China. 5. Herb-medicines which are frequently used in China but not in Korea have no significant differences from commonly used herb-medicines in Korea.

  • In this paper, we propose to new dispatcher method, which doesn't depend on an operating system of the server, and the direct routing method, by which a server answers a client's request at first hand. And, propose new web clustering scheme based on the contents on the web where web servers composed of cluster, with each different contents, answer client's request. The other purposes are to reduce overhead of the dispatcher through load balance, and to minimize the time to take in responding to a client's request. The performance of new web cluster scheme was improved by about 39% than that of the existing RR method. It was identified that the performance of the proposed web cluster method was extraordinary improved comparing with that of the existing RR method as a whole.

  • Objective : "Qizhumajiufa" is one of the chapters in "Beijijiufa" and is also a name of method in moxibustion. Because it's extraordinary way of form to find moxa-point out, there are several books that commented qizhumajiufa in history. We will try to explain how qizhumajiufa is showed in medical books(especilly in "Beijijiufa"). Method : We try to find qizhumajiufa in medical books and its contents in those books. Result : In 1170, "Weijibaoshu" mentioned qizhumajiufa for the first time. In 1245, "Beijijiufa" also mentioned qizhumajiufa much more in detail with herbal prescriptins for disease related to qizhumajiufa. Besides, several books of moxa and acupuncture mentioned qizhumajiufa include Korean medical books. Conclusion : Qizhumajiufa is expert methods of moxibustion for abscess. In history it was a just methods of moxibustion but later it was mentioned a name of moxa-point.

  • In this paper we provide characterizations for the Gromov hyperbolicity of some particular Denjoy domains and besides some sufficient conditions to guarantee or discard the hyperbolicity of some others. The conditions obtained involve just the lengths of some special simple closed geodesics in the domain. These results, on the one hand, show the extraordinary complexity of determining the hyperbolicity of a domain and, on the other hand, allow us to construct easily a large variety of both hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic domains.
