A full-scale synchronized data acquisition system was set up on the roof of the experimental building at the Texas Tech University Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory to simultaneously collect approaching wind data, conical vortex images, and roof corner suction pressure data. One-second conditional sampling technique has been applied in the data analysis, which makes it possible to separately evaluate the influencing effects of the horizontal wind angle of attack, ${\theta}$, and the vertical wind angle of attack, ${\varphi}$. Results show a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the incident wind, conical vortices, and the induced roof-corner high-suction pressures. The horizontal wind angle of attack, ${\theta}$, is shown to be the most significant factor in influencing the overall vortex structure and the suction pressures beneath. It is further revealed that the vertical wind angle of attack, ${\varphi}$, plays a critical role in generating the instantaneous peak suction pressures near the roof corner.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship of housewives’sense of ancestral service and behavior and to verify the how housewives’value orientation affects the sense of ancestral service and behavior. The data are collected from 393 housewives in urban. The statistics used for the analysis are Cronbach’$\alpha$, Frequency, Percentage, Mean, SD, and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results are summarized below: First, among the variables, degree of fate-control orientation is the most, on the contrary, material orientation is the lowest. Second, value orientation variables that affect sense and behavior of ancestral service are material orientation and gender equilibrium orientation. Third, the behavior of ancestral service is more traditional than sense of ancestral service. Fourth, cause-and-effect variable which affect behavior of ancestral service are education level, religion(Buddhism, Catholicism), employment status, number of children, health, daughter in -law’s ranking, sense of ancestral service, and value orientation, which affect the direct or direct and indirectly. Especially sense of ancestral service variable is the most important mediation one. We expect further studies on the sense of ancestral service and behavior with precise scale and sampling.

One of the most important methods used in the modern analysis of linear networks and systems is the signal flow graph technique, first introduced by S.J. Mason in 1953. In essence, the signal-flow graph technique is a graphical method of solving a set of simultaneous. It can, therefore, be regarded as an alternative to the substitution method or the conventional matrix method. Since a flow-graph is the pictorial representation of a set of equations, it has an obvious advantage, i.e., it describes the flow of signals from one point of a system to another. Thus it provides cause-and-effect relationship between signals. And it often significantly reduces the work involved, and also yields an easy, systematic manipulation of variables of interest. Mason's formula is very powerful, but it is applicable only when the desired quantity is the transmission gain between the source node and sink node. In this paper, author summarizes the signal-flow graph technique, and stipulates three rules for conversion of an arbitrary nonsource node into a source node. Then heuses the conversion rules to obtain various quantities, i.e., networks gains, functions and parameters, through simple graphical manipulations.

상대적 외적 가치 지향은 내재적 가치(e.g. 사회적 관계, 자기수용 등)에 비해서 외재적 가치(e.g. 부유함, 사회적 인정 등)를 상대적으로 더 중요하게 여기는 경향성이다. 본 연구는 자기회귀교차지연모형을 적용하여 상대적 외적가치 지향과 삶의 만족도의 인과적 관계를 확인하고, 이러한 관계에 성별 차이가 있는지 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 한국아동·청소년패널조사(KCYPS) 중1패널의 3차, 5차, 7차 년도 조사 자료(N = 2,259; 남자 1,140명, 여자 1,119명)를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이전 시점의 상대적 외적 가치 지향과 삶의 만족도는 이후 시점의 상대적 외적가치 지향과 삶의 만족에 유의한 정적 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 이전 시점의 상대적 외적 가치 지향은 다음 시점의 삶의 만족에 유의한 부적 영향을 주었다. 그러나 이전 시점의 삶의 만족은 이후 시점의 상대적 외적 가치 지향을 설명하지 못했다. 끝으로 이러한 관계는 남녀 집단 간에 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 삶에 대한 불만족이 내재적 가치보다 외재적 가치를 지향하게끔 만드는 것이 아니라, 상대적 외적 가치 지향이 높을 때 삶의 만족도가 낮아질 수 있음을 시사한다.

Environmental approach places the focus on a cause-and-effect relationship between the external environments and the internal business conditions. But that approach is an attempt to describe the characteristics of environmental constraints. W.J. Abernathy, K.B. Clark, and A.M. Kantrow attribute the Japanese carmaker's success to superiority in the manufacturing plant, especially in their process systems and work force management. They provide a paradigm for discussions of manufacturing competitiveness comparison. The structure of the paradigm has two main distinctions. The first is the division between analysis and prescription of a macro sort and those of a micro sort, the second is the division between analysis and prescription based on hardware and those based on software.

This paper investigated the causal relationship between IT investment and economic performance with the office, computing and accounting machinery (OCAM) and gross domestic product (GDP) statistics from the United States for the period 1961 to 2001. Due to non-stationary aspects of the series, found by unit root tests, it was deemed applicable to apply growth models using the first difference of the series. The results indicate that IT investment growth at the country level do not only cause economic performance growth, but are also caused by economic performance growth. While IT investment growth affect economic performance growth over shorter time periods, economic performance growth affect IT investment growth over longer time periods. As a result, this study reveals IT investment growth have the preceding effect on economic performance growth, and then economic performance growth impact subsequently on IT investment growth.

The purpose of this study is to develop a system dynamics model for the assessment of the organizational and human factors in a nuclear power plant which contribute to nuclear safety. Previous studies can be classified into two major approaches. One is the engineering approach using tools such as ergonomics and Probability Safety Assessment (PSA). The other is the socio-psychology approach. Both have contributed to find organizational and human factors and to present guidelines to lessen human error in plants. However, since these approaches assume that the relationship among factors is independent they do not explain the interactions among the factors or variables in Nuclear Power Plants. To overcome these restrictions, a system dynamics model, which can show cause and effect relationships among factors and quantify the organizational and human factors, has been developed. Handling variables such as the degree of leadership, the number of employees, and workload in each department, users can simulate various situations in nuclear power plant organization. Through simulation, users can get insights to improve safety in plants and to find managerial tools in both organizational and human factors.

원인과 결과 간의 연결 강도에 관한 추정인 인과 추론에는 다수의 처리기제가 다른 처리 시점에 관여하며 따라서 이들 각각에 민감하게 작용하는 개인차 변인은 상이할 가능성이 크다. 특히, 조건부화와 절감 현상은 하나의 결과에 다수의 잠재원인이 존재할 경우 특정 원인과 결과 간의 인과 강도를 추정할 때 일어나는 주요현상에 해당한다. 본 연구에서는 맥락 민감도와 관련된 개인차 변인인 자기 해석을 조작하여 조건부화와 절감 현상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보았다. 그 결과 독립적 자기 조건과 상호의존적 자기 조건 간에는 조건부화 정도의 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 그러나 상호의존적 자기 조건이 더 높은 절감 현상을 보였으며 이는 조건부화와 절감 현상이 각기 다른 처리 기제임을 시사한다고 볼 수 있다.

Winding is an integral operation in almost every roll-to-roll continuous process and center-winding is suitable and general scheme in the winding system. However, the internal stresses within center-wound rolls can cause damage such as buckling, spoking, cinching, etc. It is therefore necessary to analyze the relationship between taper tension in winding section and internal stress distribution within center-wound roll to prevent the winding failure. In this study, an optimal taper tension control method with parabolic taper tension profile for producing high quality wound roll was developed. The new logic was designed from analyzing the winding mechanism by using the stress model in center-wound rolls. The performance of the proposed taper tension profile was verified experimentally.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of specific hydration reaction on the stiffening process of cement paste. The cement compositions are manipulated to cause specific hydration reactions (secondary gypsum and syngenite formation) responsible for false set, and the relationship between specific hydration reactions and the flow and stiffening behavior of cement paste were investigated using modified ASTM C 403 penetration resistance measurement and oscillatory shear rheology. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) was used for the phase identification associated with premature stiffening of cement paste. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used for verification of syngenite formation. From the results, both secondary gypsum and syngenite formation caused faster stiffening and set. The amount of syngenite produced during 1 hour hydration was approximately 1 % of total mass of the cement paste, but cement paste with syngenite formation showed significantly accelerated stiffening behavior compared to normal cement paste.
