The purpose of this study was to provide the basic information on the cookies made with garlic and to investigate quality characteristics of them using chemical and sensory evaluation of cookies. Cookie samples were prepared with shredded garlic at varied levels of 0, 3, 6 and 9%. The pH of the dough significantly decreased by the addition of garlic. Dough density of control showed significantly lower values than those of 3% added sample groups. Spreadability of control had significantly higher values than the other samples. Texture measurement showed that the addition of garlic had no significant effect on cookie texture. Sensory evaluation resulted that the properties of crack, garlic aroma, garlic taste and brittleness of cookies tended to increase as the addition levels of garlic were increased. The cookies with 3% and 6% garlic had similar or significantly higher acceptance scores in all of the properties examined than those of control.

Moju is a low-alcoholic beverage made by filtering after boiling a mixture of makgeolli, ginseng, arrowroot, licorice root, cinnamon, jujube, ginger, and raw sugar. It is known to alleviate hangovers. To provide information for use in the development of palatable Moju, this study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory properties of 22 kinds of Moju being sold at different restaurants in Jeonju city. The mean values of obtained in the physicochemical analysis were as follows: water content, 91.28%; alcohol content, 1.09%; pH, 4.25; total acidity, 0.27%; reducing sugar content, 40.68 mg/mL; soluble solid content, 13.75 $^{\circ}Brix$; and viscosity 11.19 cP. The Lactic-, malic-, and citric- acid contents were higher than the contents of other organic acids. The sucrose content was higher than the contents of other free sugars. The mean value of the free amino acids was 175.3 mg%, lower than that of Takju, the main ingredient of Moju. It was considered that the free amino acids in Takju can be used as a substrate for the browning reaction in the process of Moju manufacture. In the sensory evaluation, the Moju with 0.15~0.25% total acidity, 10.6~13.4 $^{\circ}Brix$, and 5.73~9.57 cP was preferred.

Driving aircraft requires extremely complicated and detailed information processing. Pilots perform their tasks by selecting the information relevant to them. In this processing, spatial information presented simultaneously through crossmodal link is advantageous over the one provided in singular sensory mode. In this paper, probability to apply providing visual spatial information along with auditory information to enemy tracking system in aircraft navigation is empirically investigated. The result shows that auditory spatial information, which is virtually created through HRTF is advantageous to visual spatial information alone in attention processing. The findings suggest auditory spatial information along with visual one can be presented through crossmodal link by utilizing stereophonic sound such as HRTF. which is available in the existing simple stereo system.

In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic model based on Bayesian networks (BNs) for inferring human fatigue by integrating information from various visual cues and certain relevant contextual information. Visual parameters, typically characterizing the cognitive states of a person including parameters related to eyelid movement, gaze, head movement, and facial expression, serve as the sensory observations. But, an individual visual cue or contextual Information does not provide enough information to determine human fatigue. Therefore in this paper, a Bayesian network model was developed to fuse as many as possible contextual and visual cue information for monitoring human fatigue. At the experiment results, display the utility of the proposed BNs for predicting and modeling fatigue.

Place awareness is an essential for location-based services that are widely provided to smartphone users. However, traditional GPS-based methods are only valid outdoors where the GPS signal is strong and also require symbolic place information of the physical location. In this paper, environmental sounds and images are used to recognize important aspects of each place. The proposed method extracts feature vectors from visual, auditory and location data recorded by a smartphone with built-in camera, microphone and GPS sensors modules. The heterogeneous feature vectors were then learned by an ensemble learning method that learns each group of feature vectors for each classifier respectively and votes to produce the highest weighted result. The proposed method is evaluated for place recognition using a data group of 3000 samples in six places and the experimental results show a remarkably improved recognition accuracy when using all kinds of sensory data comparing to results using data from a single sensor or audio-visual integrated data only.

The purpose of the present study was to examine if perception of visual coordination pattern is consistent with the prediction of the HKB model (Haken, Kelso, Bunz, 1985). In addition, this study aimed to see if an additional sensory information using a grid background stabilizes perception of coordination pattern. Participants joined one of two experimental groups, Normal background and Grid background, to participate the pattern recognition training session and the pattern judgment test session. Participants observed $0^{\circ}$, $18^{\circ}$, $36^{\circ}$, $54^{\circ}$, $72^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $108^{\circ}$, $126^{\circ}$, $144^{\circ}$, $162^{\circ}$, and $180^{\circ}$ coordination patterns characterized by two oscillating dots. The dots oscillated in 0.25 Hz for the pattern recognition training and in 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, and 2 Hz for the pattern judgment test. Judgment score, absolute judgment error, and judgment stability out of the pattern judgment test were analyzed statistically. The landscape of pattern accuracy and stability data was "inverted-U" shape with slower oscillating frequency conditions. In the faster condition, the accuracy and stability of the judgment decreased with relative phase patterns near $180^{\circ}$. These findings consistent with the prediction of the HKB model. The grid as additional sensory information did not increase accuracy and stability in coordination perception.

This paper presents a novel evolutionary framework for optimizing a bio-inspired fully dynamic neurocontroller for the maneuverable flapping flight of a simulated bird-sized ornithopter robot which takes advantage of the morphological computation and mechansensory feedback to improve flight stability. In order to cope with the difficulty of generating robust flapping flight and its maneuver, the wing of robot is modelled as a series of sub-plates joined by passive torsional springs, which implements the simplified version of feathers attached to the forearm skeleton. The neural controller is designed to have a bilaterally symmetric structure which consists of two fully connected neural network modules receiving mirrored sensory inputs from a series of flight navigation sensors as well as feather mechanosensors to let them participate in pattern generation. The synergy of wing compliance and its sensory reflexes gives a possibility that the robot can feel and exploit aerodynamic forces on its wings to potentially contribute to the agility and stability during flight. The evolved robot exhibited target-following flight maneuver using asymmetric wing movements as well as its tail, showing robustness to external aerodynamic disturbances.

The CTSIB (Clinical Test of Sensory Integration on Balance) using high sensitive pressure sensors is normally used to assess the sense of balance in hospital. It takes an objective measurement of the amount of sway that occurs in the body trunk by observing the change in the center of pressure (CoP) on the foot at the upright posture. In this paper, we would like to propose method to easily measure trunk sway in home. Although the Wii balance board(WBB) is used for games, it can measures the center of pressure, which is highly correlated. The Wii remote controller(WRC) is inexpensive compared to the WBB, but it has problems with estimation of trunk sway because it can't measure pressure directly like WBB. We collected data from 10 normal subjects (5 males, 5 females) from two devices in order to compare the CoP from WBB and the center of mass (CoM) from WRC. The results of WRC and WBB was similar when the data were analyzed by the convex hull and ellipse area.

This study explores an initial framework for online product categorization by examining the relationships among Internet motivations, buying tendencies, and online purchase intentions for product categories. A total of 217 usable questionnaires were obtained from respondents in a southwestern state in the United States. A path model using a correlation matrix with maximum likelihood was estimated using LISREL 8.53. Findings indicated that Internet motivations consisted of four factors: Diversion, Economic, Information, and Social motivations. In addition, online products were classified into three categories based on purchase intentions: Sensory, Cognitive, and Search products. Estimated path model showed that diversion and economic motivations affected impulse buying tendency, whereas economic, information and social motivations influenced planned buying tendency in the online context. Also, the buying tendencies were significantly related to online purchase intentions for the product categories. Purchase intentions for sensory products were more strongly affected by impulse buying tendency, whereas purchase intentions for cognitive and search products were more strongly affected by planned buying tendency. Theoretical and managerial implications were discussed for devising an appropriate e-market strategy for specific product categories.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy as one of the psychiatric nursing intervention tools, with addtional information in relieving anxiety during the procedure. Data were collected through nonequivalent pre-and post tests from July 1, 1998 to September 30 1998 in 90 patients (test group A: 28 patients, test group B: 27 patients, control group: 33 patients) who were hospitalized in DongSan Medical Center in order to have cardiac catheterization. The Subjects were informed by educational videos, which were modified according to the sensory information of the 10 study patients. They were based on the informative booklet by Kim keum-soon (1989). The procedural information was also modified according to the hospital`s customs. Provided the music for patients suitable to their tastes, and measured their blood pressure, heart rate, the degree of anxiety using the Spielberger`s measurement device of anxiety, and behavioral response of Finesilver`s. The statistical significance was analyzed using chi-square test and ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows : Hypothesis 1 : There are significant differences in the degree of anxiety among test group A, Test group A was provided only information, Test group B was provided information and the control group was provided neither. Hypothesis 2 : There are significant differences in systolic blood pressure among test group A, test group B, and control group.: non-significant. Hypothesis 3 : There are significant differences in diastolic blood pressure among test group A, test group B, and control group.: significant(F=1.31, p=.27, interaction; F=3.80, p=.00). Hypothesis 4 : There are significant differences in heart rate among test group A, test group B, and control group.: non-significant. Hypothesis 5 : There are significant differences in behavioral responses among test group A, test group B, and control group.: significant(F=10.05, p=.00). Further validation study is required with other subjects and other settings.
