This study investigated the interaction between consonants and vowels in Korean syllable perception using a speeded classification task (Garner, 1978). Experiment 1 examined whether listeners analytically perceive the component phonemes in CV monosyllables when classification is based on the component phonemes (a consonant or a vowel) and observed a significant redundancy gain and a Garner interference effect. These results imply that the perception of the component phonemes in a CV syllable is not linear. Experiment 2 examined the further relation between consonants and vowels at a subphonemic level comparing classification times based on glottal features (aspiration and lax), on place of articulation features (labial and coronal), and on vowel features (front and back). Across all feature classifications, there were significant but asymmetric interference effects. Glottal feature.based classification showed the least amount of interference effect, while vowel feature.based classification showed moderate interference, and place of articulation feature-based classification showed the most interference. These results show that glottal features are more independent to vowels, but place features are more dependent to vowels in syllable perception. To examine the three-way interaction among glottal, place of articulation, and vowel features, Experiment 3 featured a modified Garner task. The outcome of this experiment indicated that glottal consonant features are independent to both the place of articulation and vowel features, but the place of articulation features are dependent to glottal and vowel features. These results were interpreted to show that speech perception is not abstract and discrete, but nonlinear, and that the perception of features corresponds to the hierarchical organization of articulatory features which is suggested in nonlinear phonology (Clements, 1991; Browman and Goldstein, 1989).

This study will focus on research and analysis covering the period of time since the creation of the People's Republic of China to current day China, with an emphasis on 20-something year-old women living in Shanghai. In conducting this research, historical evidence of fashion was derived from books, photographs, and Internet resources pertaining to the specific periods of interest. Furthermore, each set of data has been organized in approximately decade-long segments that best reflect the transformation of Chinese fashion from 1949 to 2000. As a result of the countrywide emphasis placed on revitalization of the newly created Chinese state during the period of 1949 to 1965, detail to fashion was largely ignored, in preference to the successful upstart of a working economic foundation. This neglect of fashion is evident by the scarcity of new and daring styles during this period. The following the period of 1966 to 1977 ushered in a cultural revolution that was aptly demonstrated in the changing fashion tastes. When compared with the previous period, the blandness of clothing, authorized by the Chinese government clearly reflected the rules and regulations strictly enforced by a government mandate of conformity and obedience. These orthodox changes were so drastic, that women wearing these clothes could hardly be differentiated from men in the same style wear. After Mao Ze Dong's death in 1976 and the end of the sternest period of the Chinese Revolution, a new era of Chinese culture and fashion was made possible by a more lax and tolerant government. During the later palt of the seventies through the eighties, this new governmental policy fostered more openness and self-expression, both of which led to a newfound interest in expressing one's desires and personality through the clothes he or she chose to wear.

The propagation of coherent time-harmonic elastic L-and SV-waves is studied in a medium with random distribution of cylindrical inclusions. The purpose of the research is to characterize the dynamic elastic moduli and the attenuation properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials. The cylindes representing the fibers are assumed to be distributed in parallel with each other and the direction of incident waves are normal to the cylinder axes. A multiple scattering formula using the single scattering coefficients in conjunction with the Lax's quasicrystalline approximation is derived from which the dispersion relation for such medium is obtained. In order to formulate the multiple scattering interaction between cylinders, the pair correlation functions are generated by the Monte Carlo simulation technique. From the numerically evaluated complex wavenumbers, the propagation speed of the average wave, the coherent attenuation and the effective elastic moduli are presented as functions of frequency and fiber volume fraction.

Sigmoid volvulus may cause acute or subacute colonic obstruction. Excessive length of the sigmoid colon may be a contributing factor. Typically, the patient develops bilious vomiting and marked gaseous abdominal distension. We report a case of sigmoid volvulus in a 9-year-old boy who presented with recurrent, sudden onset abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and vomiting for 1 year, which was diagnosed by simple abdominal X-ray, barium enema, computed tomography, and colonoscopic examination. Colonoscopic reduction failed and a sigmoid colectomy with primary repair was performed. The intra-operative findings showed that the sigmoid colon was noted to be dilated, and redundant with a lax mesentery. Two clear areas of compression (proximal and distal) were present. After sigmoidectomy, the symptoms resolved. After 5 years of follow-up, he had no new symptoms.

This study tried to investigate the differences between auditory preferences for a discrimination study of minimal pairs with the different onset and the same nucleus of a syllable on the basis of articulator-distance in case of Korean infants and toddlers. As a result we found a main effect for articulator-distance and age but not an effect according to the types of phonation especially in terms of tense. Former results are line with the previous studies having reported the order of consonants acquisition based on the places of articulation suggesting that more sensitive responses for the contiguous and different phonemes may lead earlier acquisition for the same place of articulation of the speech sounds. Specifically, bilabial soudns are followed by alveolar and palatal sounds in order. The latter results also showed that tense consonants got a high rate of recognition beside lax consonants according to the age and sex.

The objective of this paper is to describe the result of development of collision avoidance supporting system, based on the electronic chart display and information system(ECDIS). In real ship operations, collision accidents happen frequently due to human errors such as the lax vigilance, misinterpretation of international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (COLREGs). We developed a system which will help to avoid these kind of accidents. This system can automatically recognize the risk of collisions, generate the safe alternative routes that comply with COLREGs, and then deliver the results into auto pilot. A virtual simulation assuming progressive collision situations revealed the usefulness of this system.

While the cruciate ligament has a profuse vascular response following injury, spontaneous repair does not occur. This may result from the fact that synovial fluid dilution of the hematoma following injury prevents the formation of a fibrin clot and thus the initiation of the healing mechanism. Another theory suggests that the dynamic nature of the fascicles of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) through even small ranges of motion prohibits spontaneous union to these fibers. But we experienced two cases of spontaneous healing of partially injured ACL. Initially they showed more than grade II anterior instability. 6 mm difference by stress roentgenographs(pull view) and difference of 8 mm by KT 1000TM arthrometer between the ACL injured knee and normal side knee. Lax, nearly complete tear of ACL and synovial bleeding were noted during arthroscopic examination but the continuity of synovial membrane was seemed to be intact. These cases were treated by conservative management rather than reconstructive procedure. Postoperatively they showed excellent clinical results, no anterior instability and unlimited athletic activity. Based on our clinical experience. we think that cruciate ligament has the spontaneous healing potential in acute stage and middle aged patient. We consider the microfracture technique and initial immobilization for accelleration of healing response of the ACL.

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical condition caused by lax splenic suspensory ligaments. The laxity of ligaments causes torsion of splenic vascular pedicle. CT scan of a 7-year-old girl with abdominal pain showed a non-enhancing lobular mass in lower abdomen. Small bowel loops were located at the right-sided abdomen and colonic loops at the left-sided abdomen. MRI scan showed non-enhancing heterogeneous mass with twisted vascular pedicle. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported about wandering spleen diagnosed on MRI.

Riemann 문제는 천수방정식과 같은 쌍곡선형 방정식과 단일한 도약에 의해 불연속인 어떤 점의 좌 우에서 상수인 자료로 구성되는 초기치 문제로서 그 해법은 Godunov 방법과 같이 정확해에 의하면 정확 Riemann 해법, 근사 기법에 의하면 근사 Riemann 해법으로 불린다. 지금까지 이용되는 근사 Riemann 해법으로는 1981년에 P. L. Roe가 제안한 Roe의 선형화 기법과 1983년에 A. Harten, P. D. Lax, 그리고 B. van Leer가 제안한 HLL 기법의 수정 기법들이다. 최대 및 최소 파속만 고려하는 것으로 알려진 HLL 기법은 1988년에 B. Einfeldt의 제안에 의해 두 파속의 결정에서 Roe의 선형화 기법에 따른 고유치와 비교하는 것으로 수정되었다(HLLE 기법). 또한, 1994년에 E. F. Toro 등은 접촉파를 고려하기 위해 선형화된 지배방정식의 정확해로부터 중앙 파속을 고려하는 기법을 제안하였고, 이를 HLLC 기법으로 불렀다. 2002년에 T. Linde는 중앙 파속을 평가하기 위해 일반화된(수학적) 엔트로피 함수를 도입하였으며, van Leer는 이를 HLLL 기법으로 불렀다. 이 기법에서는 접촉파의 평가를 위해 보존변수에 대한 일반화된 엔트로피 함수로부터 중앙 파속이 유도되며, 이것과 특성 속도의 비교를 통해 최대 및 최소 파속이 결정된다. 따라서 이 기법에서는 모든 파속이 초기치로부터 결정되므로 HLLE 기법과 달리 Roe의 선형화 기법과 완전히 결별되고 HLLC 기법과 달리 정확해에 의존되지 않는 점에서 HLLL 기법은 모태인 HLL 기법의 온전한 계승으로 볼 수 있다. HLLL 기법은 여러 분야에 적용된 바 있으나, 수공학 분야에 적용된 사례는 알려진 바 없다. 이는 천수방정식에 대한 (물리적) 엔트로피 함수가 명확하지 않기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 이 연구에서는 보존변수로부터 정의되는 총 에너지를 일반화된 엔트로피 함수로 간주하여 모형을 구성하고, 정확해가 알려진 1차원 문제에 대해 적용성을 검토하였다. 정확해가 알려진 경우에 대해 모의한 결과, 1차 정도 수치해의 한계에도 불구하고, HLLL 기법의 결과는 대체로 정확해와 잘 일치하였으며 그 외의 HLL-형 기법의 그것에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 물이 빠져 바닥이 드러나는 상태에 대한 접촉 파속의 추정에서 Riemann 불변량을 이용하는 HLLC 기법에 비해 물이 빠지는 전선을 더 정확하게 포착하는 HLLL 기법의 결과는 매우 고무적이었다.

We prepared the PLT(28) thin film by using sol-gel method and investigated the structure and electrical properties of the film. With the XRD and AFM analyses, it is found that PLT(28) thin film annealed at 6sot has a complete perovskite structure and its surface roughness is about 22$\AA$. We prepared PLT(28) thin film on the Pt/TiO$_{x}$SiO$_2$/Si substrate, in which the specimen has a planar capacitor structure, and analyzed the electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film. In result, PLT(28) thin film has a paraelectric phase and its dielectric constant and loss tangent at 10kHz are 761 and 0.024, respectively. Also, the storage charge density and leakage current density of PLT(28) thin film at W are 134fC/$\mu$m2 and 1.01 $\mu$A/cm2, respectively. As a result of this, we concluded that the PLT(28) thin film is a promising material to be used as a capacitor dielectrics for next generation DRAM.M.
