This paper focuses on a sociologic approach, the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen 1991) and a sociolinguistic field, the language shift (Fishman 1991, Crystal 2000). It describes the theoretical background of language shift and briefly mentions the history of Hungarian language and Romanian language contacts. After presenting language use of the Hungarian minority students and explaining the theory of planned behavior, it turns to apply the theory of planned behavior to the language shift from the view of bilingual speaker(s). This paper wants to propose the application of the theory of planned behavior in language shift and open new perspective in bilingual research.

In this paper, an algorithm to increase the shift speed is suggested by increasing the line pressure for a metal belt CVT. In order to control the shift speed, an algorithm to calculate the target shift speed is presented from the modified CVT shift dynamics. In applying the shift speed control algorithm, a criterion is proposed to prevent the excessive hydraulic loss due to the increased line pressure. Simulations are performed based on the dynamic models of the hydraulic control valves, powertrain and the vehicle. It is found from the simulation results that performance of the engine operation can be improved by the faster shift speed, which results in the improved fuel economy by 2% compared with that of the conventional electronic control CVT in spite of the increased hydraulic loss due to the increased line pressure.

The Mean-Shift is a robustness algorithm that can be used for tracking the object using the similarity of histogram distributions of target model and target candidate. However, Mean-shift using hue information has disadvantage of tracking a wrong target when the target and background has similar hue distributions. We then propose a robust Mean-Shift tracking algorithm using new image that combined upper 4bit-planes in hue and saturation, respectively.

The automated mechanical transmission(AMT) is composed of electronic control management(ECM) and automatic shift gear(ASG). The AMT has advantages which are high efficiency of manual transmissions(MT) and offer operation convenience similar to automatic transmissions(AT). However, it has defects that are the torque gap during gear shift transients and shift time is long. To reduce such defects, it is necessary practically to evaluate error and characteristics as developing simulation model before the control algorithm is applied. In this paper, models are composed of vehicle model and AMT shift control model. Particularly AMT shift control model consists of main clutch management model (MCM) and shift control management model(SCM). The developed models were verified by comparing the simulated and experimental results under the same operational conditions. It can also be used to evaluate shift algorithm.

Threshold voltage shift has been observed from many thin-film transistors (TFTs) and the time evolution of the shift can be modeled as the stretched-exponential and -hyperbola function. These analytic models are derived from the kinetic equation for defect-creation or charge-trapping and the equation consists of only reversible reactions. In reality TFT's a shift is permanent due to an irreversible reaction and, as a result, it is reasonable to consider that both reversible and irreversible reactions exist in a TFT. In this paper the case when both reactions exist in parallel and make a combined threshold voltage shift is modeled and simulated. The results show that a combined threshold voltage shift observed from a TFT may agrees with the analytic models and, thus, the analytic models don't guarantee whether the cause of the shift is defection-creation or charge-trapping.

Statistical simulation approaches are proposed to evaluate the shift feeling for a manual transmission. First, shift force simulator for the manual transmission is developed by considering the dynamic models of the external and internal linkage, synchronizer, and drivetrain. It is found that the shift force by the simulator shows a good correlation with the test results. Using the simulator, two kinds of statistical simulation approaches are proposed and the objective parameters that can be used to evaluate the shift feeling quantitatively are obtained. It is expected that the shift force simulator with the statistical approaches, developed in this study can be used as a useful design tool to evaluate the shift feeling in the initial design stage.

Due to the increasing demands in comfortable drivability, most motor companies are developing their own unique shift controller to suppress the shift shock induced by gear change. For a typical automatic transmission system, the dynamic constraints of friction clutch was clarified for efficient program development and major factors effecting the shift transient was confirmed by simulation study. The MIMO LQG/LTR controller was designed to control the turbine and corresponding gear speed. By establishing the control strategy recalling transient response during shift the speed controller mentioned above was used as an indirect torque controller. Consequently a new concept for a systematic design method of shift controller applicable to wide-varying systems was suggested which is time efficient and cost efficient saving a lot of experimental study.

In this paper, an algorithm to improve the optimal engine operation is suggested by increasing the CVT shift speed. By rearranging the CVT shift dynamic equation, it is found that the CVT shift speed depends on the line pressure as well as the primary pressure. Based on the shift dynamics, an algorithm to accomplish a faster shift speed is presented by increasing the line pressure. In order to apply the algorithm, dynamic models of the line pressure control valve and the ratio control valve are obtained by considering the CVT shift dynamics and model based controllers are designed. It is found from the simulation results that fuel economy can be improved by 2% in spite of the increased hydraulic loss due to the increased line pressure.

This study investigates the working conditions of shift workers according to age group by analyzing the sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey's data. A total of 1,323 shift workers were extracted from the dataset. Three age groups (A: 20s-30s, B: 40s-50s, C: 60s and above) were statistically compared in terms of health problems, emotional hazard exposure, work-life imbalance, and satisfaction with working conditions. Elderly shift workers (those in their 60s and above) had significantly more severe health problems and work-life imbalance, greater exposure to emotional hazards, and lower satisfaction with working conditions than young shift workers (those in their 20s-50s). The study's findings reveal the characteristics of working conditions for elderly shift workers and would be useful for improving shift workers' quality of life, as well as safety and productivity in the workplace.

In this paper, in order to apply the $\pi$/4 shift QPSK to TCM, we propose the $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK modulation technique and the trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK performing signal set expansion and set partition by phase difference. In addition, the Viterbi decoder with branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase difference is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance in differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8 PSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually the same as the sliding multiple de- tection by using the branch metric with first and Lth order phase difference. We investigate the performance of the uncoded .pi. /4 shift QPSK and the trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK with or without the Lth phase difference metric in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channel using the Monte Carlo simulation. The study shows that the $\pi$/4 shift QPSK with the Trellis-code i. e. the trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance. Also, the next proposed algorithm can be used in the TC $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK as well as TC MDPSK.
