This study attempts to identify user perceived value as a major predictor of the usage of smartphone-based mobile commerce(m-commerce). More specifically, the study conceptualizes user perceived value of smartphone-based m-commerce along three dimensions, such as temporal, functional, and economic values. Moreover, this study proposes service ubiquity and user control that are uniquely defining characteristics of smartphone-based m-commerce and examines how the two variables are associated with the creation of user perceived value. Using a total of 164 data collected on users of smartphone-based mcommerce, we conducted PLS analysis to test the proposed model and hypotheses. The key findings are as follows : First, it has been found that the usage of smartphone-based m-commerce is determined by the three values, such as temporal, functional, and economic values. Particularly, the results show that temporal value is the most influential variable in predicting m-commerce use. Second, the results demonstrate that service ubiquity has a significant positive effect on temporal value, whereas it has no effect on functional value. Finally, user control is positively associated with temporal and functional values. Overall, the results indicate that service ubiquity and user control considerably increase temporal value, thereby accelerating the use of smartphone-based m-commerce. Discussions and implications of the results are provided.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the capability of production of artificial milk for leaf protein concentrate (LPC). Chloroplastic protein and cytoplasmic protein were extracted from leaves of Dystaenia takeshimana Nakai and LPC was extracted from leaves of Italian ryegrass to increase the functional properties of LPC as a level of milk casein. One gram of chloroplastic protein and cytoplasmic protein and 1g of LPC were succinylated by addition of succinic anhydride 0.1, 0.25, and 1g respectively. Their functional properties were investigated in this experiment. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The non-succinylated LPC showed a higher value in bulk density than the chloroplastic protein, the cytoplasmic protein and LPC succinylated by addition of succinic anhydride 0.1, 0.25, and 1g respectively. Nevertheless, succinylation had an enhancing effect as indicated by the rises as the degrees of succinylation was increased. 2. Although solubility of non-succinylated LPC was lower than that of milk casein, succinylation caused an effective increase in the solubility of the protein and LPC. 3. Water absorption and fat absorption of succinylated LPC were twice to eight times higher than those of milk casein. Fat absorption was not influenced to the extent by succinylation as the water absorption. Excessive succinylation resulted in the decrease of both water absorption and fat absorption. 4. Emulsifying activity and emulsion stability were increased in proportion to the succinylated degree of LPC. More than 10% increase in the amount of succinic anhydride resulted in an apparent increase in emulsifying activity and emulsion stability. Besides, the succinylated LPC showed more excellent functional properties in emulsifying activity and emulsion stability than milk.

Multiple lines of study have shown that Acanthopanax species have anti-oxidant and chemopreventive effect. However, the suitability of Acanthopanax sessilifloru fruit (Ogaza) as a functional food source remains to be investigated. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of Ogaza as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory substance. The phenolic content of Ogaza is 56.1${\pm}$5.2 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per 1 g of Ogaza. The 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging effects of Ogaza extract at 0.25, 0.5, 1, or 2 mg/mL were 34.0, 73.0, 194.3, or 339.7 $\mu g$/mL vitamin C equivalent antioxidnat capacity (VCEAC), respectively. Ogaza extract (1 or 2 mg/mL) inhibited LPS-induced TNF-$\alpha$ production (decrease of 22${\pm}$2% or 19${\pm}$6%, respectively). It also inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 production (decrease of 18${\pm}$2% or 24${\pm}$3%, respectively). In addition, Ogaza extract (0.25, 0.5, 1, or 2 mg/mL) inhibited COX-2 luciferase activity (decrease of 80${\pm}$1%, 83.${\pm}$7%, 96${\pm}$4%, or 98${\pm}$2%, respectively). Overall, these results indicated that Ogaza is promising as a functional food source due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of 8weeks Kettlebell training on the FMS and Balance in Middle school baseball player. Fourteen middle school baseball players were randomly assigned to a kettlebell group (n=8) and a control group (n=6), and kettlebell training was applied twice a week for 60 minutes. And the FMS, Y-balance test and static and dynamic balance test using smart shoes were tested before and after kettlebell training. Repeated two-way ANOVA measures was performed both before and after the exercise to verify the effect of kettlebell training. Also, if there was an interaction between time and group, a paired sample t-test was performed for each group. As a results of the study, FMS score showed a significant difference in IL (Inline Lunge) and TS(Total Score), and there was no significant difference in other variables of FMS. The YBT score showed a significant difference in all YBT variables except for the left AT. And the balance test using smart shoes, there was no significant interaction effect between group and period in all variables. In conclusion, it was found that the application of kettlebell training in middle school baseball players had an effects on the FMS and YBT scores related to functional movement and functional balance, but it did not affect the static/dynamic balance test using smart shoes evaluated by the foot pressure method. It seems that the results of this study can be provided as basic data necessary for planning a training program for middle school baseball players.

This research was carried out to investigated the effect of base paper and latex binder on printability and obtical properties of coated paper. Especially, it examined the effect of th pH of vase paper surface and functional groups of latices on the interactions between coating color components and on the structure of coated layer. It was found that the behavior of coating color containing amphoeric latex depends on the pH in the boundary region between coating color and base paper. Thus, the coating color formulated with amphoteric latex formed bulky coating layer by inducing stronger interaction between paper surface and coating components than the coating color with anionic latex. The coated paper with amphoteric latex showed better optical properties (i.e.gloss and optical) and printability (i.e. ink receptivity, wet ink receptivity, and ink set off) than the conventional anionic latex in the acidic and alkaline paper. However, dry pick strength of the coated paper was less decreased. This result indicated that amphoteric latex could also be applied practically to the alkaline paper.
