This study tested the validity of the six-factor model of fashion savvy which was modified from the consumer savvy scale developed by Macdonald and Uncles(2007) and explored the relationship between fashion savvy and consumer propensity to observe. Regarding the relationship, it was hypothesized that consumer propensity to observe antecedes fashion savvy. Data were gathered by surveying university students in Seoul metropolitan area, using convenience sampling, and 311 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. In analyzing data, factor analysis and regression were conducted. The findings show the validity of the six factors of fashion savvy, which are fashion sophistication, interpersonal network competency, online network competency, marketing literacy, consumer self-efficacy, and consumer expectations. Tests of the hypothesized relationship show that two factors of consumer propensity to observe influence fashion savvy. More specifically, the 'observing shoppers' factor positively influences all six factors of fashion savvy, whereas the 'following what others buy' factor negatively influences four factors of fashion savvy, fashion sophistication, interpersonal network competency, marketing literacy, and consumer self-efficacy. The implications of these findings and suggestions for future study are also discussed.

In this paper, we consider the aortic sinus baroreceptor, which is the most representative baroreceptor sensing the variance of pressure in the cardiovascular system, and propose heart activity control model to observe the effect of delay time in heart period and stroke volume under the regulation of baroreflex in the aortic sinus. The proposed heart activity baroreflex regulation model contains electric circuit sub-model. We constituted the time delay sub-model to observe sensitivity of heart activity baroreflex regulation model by using the variable value to represent the control signal transmission time from the output of baroreflex regulation model to efferent nerve through central nervous system. The simulation object of this model is to observe variability of the cardiovascular system by variable value in time delay sub-model. As simulation results, we observe three patterns of the cardiovascular system variability by the time delay, First, if the time delay over 2.5 second, aortic pressure and stroke volume and heart rate is observed nonperiodically and observed. Finally, if time delay under 0.1 second, then heart rate and aortic pressure-heart rate trajectory is maintained in stable state.

The proposed scheme is based on the modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm combined with the sliding mode technique. A modified P&O algorithm based sliding mode controller is developed to study the effects of partial shade, temperature, and insolation on the performance of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) used in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under partially shaded conditions and temperature, the energy conversion efficiency of a PV array is very low, leading to significant power losses. Consequently, increasing efficiency by means of MPPT is particularly important. Conventional techniques are easy to implement but produce oscillations at MPP. The proposed method is applied to a model to simulate the performance of the PV system for solar energy usage, which is compared to the conventional methods under non-uniform insolation improving the PV system utilization efficiency and allowing optimization of the system performance. The modified perturb and observe sliding mode controller successfully overcomes the issues presented by non-uniform conditions and tracks the global MPP. Compared to MPPT techniques, the proposed technique is more efficient; it produces less oscillation at MPP in the steady state, and provides more precise tracking.

Purpose. The study was done to develop nursing guidelines to prevent nursing negligence in the clinical setting that would lead to malpractice. Method. A comprehensive review of the literature and focus groups interviews were used to search for malpractice cases related to "observation", one of the most basic nursing activities. The cases were analyzed with respect to nursing practice and a legal expert was consulted on the content. Results. 4 malpractice cases related to observation negligence were selected for this study; 1) a case of failing to observe dyspnea after a thyroidectomy, 2) a case of failing to observe a depressed patient for suicide attempts, 3) a case of failing to observe a VP shunt obstruction, 4) a case of failing to observe a cardiac ischemia after a bronchoscopy. 11 guidelines were developed for clinical nurses and 13 guidelines for nursing managers. Conclusion. These guidelines are useful in preventing malpractice due to nursing negligence. Therefore nurses need to apply them to their practices and continue to make an effort to develop guidelines for other malpractice situations.

It is well known that water treeing is one of the main cause of breakdown in underground power cables, but water tree is not easy to observe. This aging phenomenon was resulted in effect of water and electric field and so on. In this paper, Distilled water was used as water electrode to observe the water treeing in XLPE(cross-linked polyethylene). To observe easily, sample was made of pallet types so water tree was able to show by microscope. As a result, electrical tree appears at niddle electrode tip which was concentrated electric field, but water tree was shown up different types that were appealed in total area of water electrode as well as water electrode tip.

In object tracking based on the particle filter algorithm controlling the proper distribution of the samples is essential to accurately track the target. If the samples are spread too wide compared to the target size, the tracking accuracy may degrade as some samples can be caught by background clutters that is similar to the target. On the other hands if the samples are spread too narrow, the particle filter may fail to track the abrupt motion of the target. To solve this problem we propose an improved particle filter that adopts "re-weighting" technique at the observe step. We estimate the distribution of the weights of the current samples by its mean and variance. Then the samples are re-weighted so that the appropriate distribution of the samples in proportional to the target scale is obtained at the next select step. The proposed tracking method can avoid convergence to local mean and improve the accuracy of the estimated target state.

Purpose: This study was designed to find out the anti-cancer effects of Samultang-Gami which was composed of Rehmanniae Radix(RR), Angelicae Gigantis Radix(AGR), Cnidii Rhizoma(CR), Paeoniae Radix(PR), Cortex Moutan Radicis(CMR), Hedyotis Diffusa(HD) and Caesalpinia Sappan on HeLa, HepG2 and AGS cells. Methods: Various cancer cell lines including HeLa, HepG2 and AGS cells, were used. In vitro anti-cancer effects were measured by MTT assay using cancer cell lines treated with various concentrations of 70% ethanol extract of Samultang-Gami. Expression of cell cycle arrest mediators including Bax, Bcl-2, p53 and DARP-1 proteins were measured by Western blot analysis. Results: 1. Samultang-Gami decreased the viability of HeLa and HepG cells in a dosedependent manner. 2. AGR, CMR, PR and HD decreased the viability of HeLa, HepG2 and AGS cells. 3. We could observe that the decreased Bax and Bcl-2 expression level and the increased PARP-1 expression level by Samultang-Gami extracts treated in HeLa cells. 4. We could observe that the decreased Bcl-2 expression level and the increased Bax, p53 and PARP-1 expression level by RR extracts treated in HeLa cells. and also could observe that the reduction of the protein level of Bcl-2, p53 and PARP-1 and the increase of the protein level of Bax by PR in HeLa cells. 5. We could observe that the increased p53 expression level, the decreased PARP-1's that and the unchanged Bax and Bcl-2's that by Samultang-Gami extracts treated in HepG2 cells. 6. We could observe that the reduced Bcl-2 expression level by each of RR extracts and PR extracts in HepG2 cells. 7. The treatment of Samultang-Gami in AGS cells didn't have any effect on the expression level of Bax, Bcl-2, p53 and PARP-1. 8. We could observe that the increased p53 and PARP-1 expression level by each of CR, RR and PR extracts in AGS cells. Conclusion: Taken together, we suggest that Samultang-Gami exhibits cytotoxic effects on HeLa, HepG2 and AGS cells, causing apoptosis. The results showed that Samultang-Gami may do so by regulating the expression of specific target molecules that promote efficient apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner.
