Korean society expects to be changing into aged society more rapidly than any other countries due to low birthrate and increase in life expectancy. Increasing number of elderly and social problems of aging society have provoked increase in research on elderly environment. Elderly housing facilities and living conditions are significantly related to the quality of life for older persons. The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze empirical studies on elderly physical environments in Korea, find out research streaming and understand social backgrounds and to suggest future research problems. For this study, contents analysis was conducted. Articles of four academic peer reviewed journals published from 1986 to 2005 were units of analysis. Using a keyword through library database systems, the articles were systematically selected. As results, trends of research according to 4 periods were defined. Among them as major trends, expansion of the quantity, expansion to interior design features for older persons, more facility types for dependent elderly(assisted living facilities, facilities for elderly with dementia, long term care facilities) have appeared. This result showed some directions and implications on elderly facility planning and development.

A data registry is a physical place to keep characteristics of classes of objects exist in the real world when they are chosen to record as data. It provides a centralized directory to describe the meaning, representation, and identification of data elements and their values. It assists to prevent redundancy and to preserve common understanding about the data described in a metadata set. In this paper, we investigate and classify various components of IBS(Intelligent Building Systems), specially HVAC in Building Automation Systems. We present IBSDR(Intelligent Building Systems Data Registry) model that specifies not only the detailed information on data elements but also the process of documenting data in IBS. It functions as the medium to create the data sharing environment to maintain exact meaning of data for every data elements so that database management designers or related users can create and exchange their DB without major modification. It also serves as a clearinghouse for information about IBS data. So all users can freely retrieve from and register data elements to IBSDR based on ISO/IEC 11179 through World Wide Web.

In this paper, we propose a new video structuring method for reconstructuring a 'structured logical video' which adds logical video information to a conventional structured video. Logical video information is composed of background, object, and situation. The proposed structured video is reconstructed in logical unit like episodes as well as in physical unit like shots. It can support many video functions and may be reusable in many video applications-video browsing, video retrieval, video editing, etc. we also present the video database management system in order to manage the proposed structured video is modeled on object-oriented concept and hierarchical structure. Also, we design and implement a video browsing and retrieval system using the proposed structured video.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to identify the effect of a community based health promotion program for elders in Korea. Methods: The PICO-SD (Participants, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study Design) strategy was established. A search of the electronic bibliographic database of NDSL, RISS, KMbase, and KoreaMed etc. was performed and 28 articles met inclusion criteria. Results: Both exercise and health education were in most programs and were more effective than one of the two. The health education included stress management, mental health, health promotion lifestyle, chronic disease, and medication. Various exercises such as walking, stretching, gymnastics, rhythmic activity, muscle strength, and joint exercise were performed. The programs for elders showed an association with significantly improved muscular strength, flexibility, depression, quality of life, subjective health status, satisfaction with life, self-efficacy, and health promotion behavior. Conclusion: Intervention programs including both exercise and health education are effective in improving health promotion behavior and physical and psychological health status in elders. Therefore, these results could provide useful guidelines for development of effective health intervention programs for the elderly.

This study deals with the aesthetic characteristics in Gareth Pugh's fashion film. As fashion films are becoming a newly emerging communication tool in fashion, the aim of this study will be to build a database on these films. For the specific method in this work, literature reviews were performed along with the empirical study of seven pieces of fashion film. The results of the study showed that Gareth Pugh released the fashion films from 2008 to 2012, and he collaborated with SHOW Studio member and photographer Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben. Common themes in their films were fear, fantasy, dynamics, and going off-limits, and these can be summed up in the following ways. First, a sense of fear was expressed via black colors, bizarre mechanical sounds, decalcomania shape in abstract images, and transformed physical body images. Second, an image of fantasy was presented with diverse expression techniques including colorful light presentations and abstract image setups from repeatedly changed image reproduction. Third, dynamic feature was denoted with a combination of fast development of images and quick reproduced layouts, as well as quick beat sounds, and big and powerful action movements. Fourth, characteristic of going off-limits was reflected, by showing the collections with a communication tool called fashion film instead of existing collection concept.

In this paper, we propose a location-prediction structure that can provide user service in advance. It consists of seven steps and supplies intelligent services which can forecast user's location. Context information collected from physical sensors and a history database is so difficult that it can't present importance of data and abstraction of data because of heterogeneous data type. Hence, we offer the location-prediction that change data type from heterogeneous data to homogeneous data. Extracted data is clustered by SOFM, then it gets user's location information by ARIMA and realizes the services by a reasoning engine. In order to validate the proposed location-prediction, we built a test-bed and test it by the scenario.

In this paper, it is aim to implement a wheelchair monitoring system that provides users with customized medical services easily in everyday life, together with mobility guarantee, which is the most basic requirement of the elderly and disabled persons with physical disabilities. The case-based intelligent wheelchair monitoring system proposed in this study is based on a case-based k-NN algorithm, which implements a system for constructing and inferring examples of various biometric and environmental information of wheelchair users as a knowledge database and a monitoring interface for wheelchair users. In order to confirm the usefulness of the case-based k-NN algorithm, the SVM algorithm showed an average accuracy of 84.2% and the average accuracy of the proposed case-based k-NN algorithm was 86.2% And showed higher performance in terms of accuracy. The system implemented in this paper has the advantage of measuring biometric information and data communication regardless of time and place and it can provide customized service of wheelchair user through user friendly interface.

In order to improve the performance of relational databases, one has to reduce the number of disk accesses necessary to transfer data from disk to main memory. The paper proposes to reduce the number of disk I/O accesses by vertically partitioning relation into fragments and allowing attribute replication to fragments if necessary. When zero-one integer programming model is solved by the branch-and-bound method, it requires much computing time to solve a large sized problem. Therefore, heuristic solutions using genetic algorithm(GA) are presented. GA in this paper adapts a few ideas which are different from traditional genetic algorithms, for examples, a rank-based sharing fitness function, elitism and so on. In order to improve performance of GA, a set of optimal parameter levels is determined by the experiment and makes use of it. As relations are vertically partitioned allowing attribute replications and saved in disk, an attribute replicating vertical partition method by GA can attain less access cost than non-attribute-replication one and require less computing time than the branch-and-bound method in large-sized problems. Also, it can acquire a good solution similar to the optimum solution in small-sized problem.

As the number of websites managed by organizations or organizations increases, so does the number of web application servers and containers. In checking the status of the web service of the web application server and the container, it is very difficult for the person to check the status of the web service after accessing the physical server at the remote site through the terminal or using other accessible software It. Previous research on crawler-related research is hard to find any reference to the processing of data from crawling. Data loss occurs when the crawler accesses the database and stores the data. In this paper, we propose a method to store the inspection data according to crawl - based web application server management without losing data.

In ultra-high-strength concrete, autogenous shrinkage is larger than dry shrinkage due to the consume of a large amount of cement and cementitous material, and this is a factor deteriorating the quality of structures. Thus, we need a new technology for minimizing the shrinkage strain for ultra-high-strength concrete. So, this paper have prepared super-high-strength concrete with specified mixing design strength of over 150MPa and have evaluated a method of reducing autogenous shrinkage by utilizing expander and shrinkage-reducing agent. According to the results of this study, with regard to the change in length by autogenous shrinkage, an expansion effect was observed until the age of seven days. The expansion effect was higher when the contents of the expander material were higher. In addition, ultra-high-strength concrete showed a shrinkage rate that slowed down with time, and the effect of the addition of expander material on compressive strength was insignificant. That is shown that required more database to be accumulated through experimental research for the shrinkage strain of members.
