The purpose of this study is to help preschool children in the interface design of educational game APP at the psychological level. The conceptual model is constructed through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use when children are playing educational game APP. The empirical study was conducted in the form of questionnaires collected after children used game. The research subjects were 3-6 years old children, and the research tool was the game app. Data collection under the guidance of their parents. The research shows that children educational game experience elements can effectively increase preschool children's psychological perception of educational games. Perceived ease of use also increases trust in educational games for children. The results were as follows: 1. Cronbach's Alpha and KMO were 0.969 and 0.955, and the P value was significant, which passed the reliability and validity test. 2. Through confirmatory factor analysis (Model fit index, Composite reliability, discriminant validity), we found that user experience is closely related to perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. 3. The path analysis of the relationship proves that perceived ease of use play a key role in trusting preschool children educational game APP.

The goal of the study was to see how quality management (QMA), strategy (STR), and innovative capability (INC) influence the competitive advantage of a Thai information communication technology (ICT) firm (COA). The researchers collected 431 surveys from Thailand's owners and managers employed in ICT enterprises from the beginning of June 2021 to the end of September 2021using diverse sample strategies. A questionnaire with an index of item-objective congruence (IOC) value of 0.60-1.00 and a reliability value of 0.92-0.96 was used as the research tool. Participants in the survey were requested to fill out a seven-level opinion survey posted on Google Forms. A latent variable structural equation model (SEM) path analysis using LISREL 9.1 was used for the four latent variables, 31 manifest variables, and the five hypotheses testing. The analysis showed that all three causal variables positively affected COA, which had a total effect (TE) R² value = 80% when combined with the other latent variables. Moreover, the values for the latent variables when ranked by total effect (TE) were STR, QMA, and INC with TE values of 0.95, 0.89, and 0.25, respectively. Finally, there were very strong influences from COA to STR (0.95), INC to QMA (0.86), and STR to QMA (0.71).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to empirically test a model of associations linking locations and competition among nursing homes (NHs), mediated by facility grade and registered nurse (RN) turnover, on activities of daily living (ADLs) in Korean NHs. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design to identify causal factors on NH residents' ADLs. Data were collected from June 2017 to August 2017. A disproportionate stratified cluster sampling method of NHs across Korea was used to gain representation. The collected data consisted of location and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), RN turnover rate, facility grade, and NH residents' ADLs. Results: All pathways affecting ADLs were not significant, and the effect on facility grade was significant in RN turnover (β = -.59, p < .001). RN turnover associated negatively with facility grade. In other words, the higher the RN turnover, the worse the facility grade. Conclusion: This study is the first to examine the impact of location and HHIs, mediated by RN turnover rate and facility grade, on NH residents' ADLs. To improve residents' ADLs, subsequent studies are needed to identify the factors affecting ADLs utilizing other variables because this study did not identify factors that affect ADLs.

The most important factor in pre-school children's psychological perception is ease of learning, and the closest measure is "natural" interaction. This study aims to explore the potential of tangible user interfaces (TUI) for AR collaboration for children's cognitive development. The conceptual model is constructed by analyzing physical interaction, spatial perception and social collaboration on the usability of TUI, to explore the role of TUI in pre-school children's cognition. In the empirical study, children aged 3-6 were taken as research objects. The experimental tool is "Plugo" education application. Parents answered questionnaires after observing their children's use. Research shows that physical interaction are the most critical factor in TUI. TUI is beneficial to the cultivation of spatial ability. The results are as follows: 1. Cronbach's Alpha and KMO were 0.921 and 0.965, which were significant and passed the reliability and validity test. 2. Through confirmatory factor analysis (model fit index, combinatorial validity), we found that physical interaction were closely related to usability. 3. The path analysis of the relationship proves that usability has a significant impact on the cultivation of pre-school children's spatial ability.

LiDAR, one of the most important sensing methods used in mobile robots and cars with assistive/autonomous driving functions, is used to locate surrounding obstacles or to build maps. For real-time path generation, the detection of potholes or puddles on the driving surface is crucial. To achieve this, we used the coordinates of the reflection points provided by LiDAR as well as the intensity information to classify water areas, which was achieved by applying a linear regression method to the intensity distribution. The rationale for using the LiDAR index as an input variable for linear regression is presented, and we demonstrated that it is not affected by errors in the distance measurement value. Because of LiDAR vertical scanning, if the reflective surface is not uniform, it is divided into different groups according to the intensity distribution, and a mathematical basis for this is presented. Through experiments in an outdoor driving area, we could distinguish between flat ground, potholes, and puddles, and kinematic analysis was performed to calculate the maximum width that could be crossed for a given vehicle body size and wheel radius.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the cysteine and glutathione on the motility index and morphology of human spermatozoa at the sperm processing in vitro. After treating the sperm with medium containing cysteine and glutathione, we measured the motility index and morphology at 0.5 h and 24 h. 1. Following the sperm culture for 0.5 h after treating the sperm with the medium containing 0, 1, 5, 10 mM cysteine, curvilinear velocity (VCL) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in control than that in all treatments. And straight-line velocity (VSL) was high at 1 mM and average path velocity (VAP) was low at 5 mM and 10 mM. But the motility (MOT) and morphology (NOM) were not different between control and all treatments. Following the sperm culture for 24 h, the MOT was significantly high in treatment groups (58.9, 74.4 and 62.3%), compared with that in control(28.7%) and the VCL was also high in treatment groups (31.4, 37.9, and 34.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s), compared with that in control (21.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s). The VSL (18.4, 21.7, and 18.9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) was significantly higher than control (10.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) and the VAP (20.3, 24.7, and 21.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) in treatments was also compared with that in control (12.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s). The NOM was not difference between control and treatments. 2 Following the sperm culture for 0.5 after treating the sperm with the medium containing 0, 1, 5, 10 mM glutathione, the MOT, VCL, VSL, VAP, and NOM were not different between control and treatments. Following the sperm culture for 24 h, the MOT was higher in treatment groups (82.9, 83.6, 83.4%) than in control (51.1%) and the VCL was higher in treatment groups (50.9, 51.3, and 49.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) than control (34.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s). The VSL was also higher in treatment (17.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) and the VAP was also higher in treatment groups (30.1, 32.5, and 29.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s) than in control (19.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s). The NOM was not different between control and treatments.

When constructing projects such as road embankments, bridge approaches, dikes or buildings on soft, compressible soils, significant settlements may occur due to the consolidation of these soils under the superimposed loads. The compressibility of the soil skeleton of a soft clay is influenced by such factors as structure and fabric, stress path, temperature and loading rate. Although it is possible to determine appropriate relations and the corresponding material parameters in the laboratory, it is well known that sample disturbance due to stress release, temperature change and moisture content change can have a profound effect on the compressibility of a clay. The early research of Tezaghi and Casagrande has had a lasting influence on our interpretation of consolidation data. The 24 hour, incremental load, oedometer test has become, more or less, the standard procedure for determining the one-dimensional, stress-strain behavior of clays. An important notion relates to the interpretation of the data is the ore-consolidation pressure ${\sigma}_p$, which is located approximately at the break in the slope on the curve. From a practical point of view, this pressure is usually viewed as corresponding to the maximum past effective stress supported by the soil. Researchers have shown, however, that the value of ${\sigma}_p$ depends on the test procedure. furthermore, owing to sampling disturbance, the results of the laboratory consolidation test must be corrected to better capture the in-situ compressibility characteristics. The corrections apply, strictly speaking, to soils where the relation between strain and effective stress is time independent. An important assumption in Terzaghi's one-dimensional theory of consolidation is that the soil skeleton behaves elastically. On the other hand, Buisman recognized that creep deformations in settlement analysis can be important. this has led to extensions to Terzaghi's theory by various investigators, including the applicant and coworkers. The main object of this study is to suggestion the modified compression index value to predict settlements by back calculating the $C_c$ from different numerical models, which are giving best prediction settlements for multi layers including very thick soft clay.

상수도 관망 밸브는 평상시 관로의 유향을 변경하는 역할을 하지만, 관로 파손, 수질 문제 등 사고 발생 시 해당 구역을 격리하는데에도 이용된다. 밸브조작에 의한 구역 단수는 주변 지역의 압력 및 물 공급 성능 저하를 유발한다. 최근 안정적인 상수도 관망 물 공급을 위협하는 사고가 다양하고 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 시나리오를 고려하여 밸브 위치 결정을 하는 것이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 밸브의 개수, 구역격리 시 물 부족량, 수리학적 거리 인자(Hydraulic Geodesic Index, HGI)를 통합한 목적함수를 개발하고, 다양한 물 부족 시나리오에 기반한 밸브 최적 위치 결정 방법론을 제안한다. 제안한 방법론은 페스카라 관망에 적용되었으며, 시나리오별로 도출된 최적 밸브 설계안의 차이점을 분석하였다. 최적 밸브 위치 탐색 과정 중 수행된 관망 수리해석은 압력 기반(Pressure Driven Analysis, PDA)으로 수행하였다. 개발된 방법론으로 도출한 최적 밸브 설계안은 기존 설계안 대비 밸브 개수가 최대 19개나 적었고, 세그먼트 격리 시 물 공급 부족량 또한 상대적으로 작았다. 수원 수두가 낮은 시나리오를 고려할수록 더 많은 밸브가 설치되었는데, 밸브 추가 설치에 따른 비용증가는 다양한 시나리오에서 물 공급 성능 향상으로 이어짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 세그먼트 격리 상황 모의를 압력 및 유량 기반 해석으로 수행한 결과를 비교하여, 밸브 최적 위치 설계 수행 시 압력 기반 해석이 필요함을 확인하였다.
