Hair style allows consumers to express their aesthetic sense and individual beauty. However, due to the attributes of hairdressing services and the high expectations of consumers, complaints are increasing rapidly. This study examined the complaint behavior, compensation and hair salon patronage of consumers. Then, a model is presented that explains the complaint behavior for hairstyling, forms of compensation, and hair salon patronage through empirical analysis. This study was conducted by a survey method. A total of 399 questionnaires were used for the analysis. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 statistical software. The dimension of complaint behavior for hair style included verbal complaints, non-verbal complaints in the salon and private complaints outside the salon. The forms of compensation included re-procedure, psychological, and material compensation. Hair salon patronage was one-dimensional. These results were obtained through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Then the conceptual model was empirically analyzed by covariance structure analysis and obtained in final form through model modification. Verbal complaint behavior positively influenced re-procedure compensation. In addition, non-verbal complaint behavior had positive effects on psychological and material compensation. Hair salon patronage was positively affected by re-procedure and psychological compensation. However, private complaint behavior had a negative effect on hair salon patronage. The direct and indirect effects of the paths among variables were verified by analyzing the mediating effects of different forms of compensations. It is possible to establish differentiated marketing strategies with these findings for consumers with complaint behaviors by considering the forms of compensation.
목적: 본 연구는 망막 영상의 혈관 분할을 위한 새로운 심층 인공 학습 시스템을 구축하는데 목적이 있 다. 기존 CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) 아키텍처를 제시하고, CNN 방식을 토대로 성능을 개선한 DirectNet을 고안하는데 있다. 특히, 기존 CNN에 비해 처리 시간을 크게 단축시키는데 있다.
방법: 제안된 DirectNet 아키텍처는 피라미드 형식의 블록(Block)들로 구성되며 각 블록은 컨볼루션레이 어 (Convolution layer) 묶음을 포함한다. 하나의 블록은 학습 결과를 보존(저장)하는 단위이다. 블록들은 순차적으로 하나씩 증가하며 피라미드 형식으로 쌓이게 되고 이를 통해 초기 학습 결과가 소멸되지 않고 최종 분석에 활용될 수 있도록 하였다. DirectNet은 패치(Patch) 추출과 Pooling 과정 없이 이미지를 학습하여 학습 층을 거듭하여도 원본 이미지와 동일하게 유지되는 것이 특징이다. 또한 다양한 커널사이즈를 활용 하되 Depthwise Separable Convolution(DSC)을 활용하여 색을 구성하는 RGB(Red, Green, Blue)픽셀로 부터 혈관 모양을 인식 및 탐지한다.

결론: 제안 된 심층 학습 아키텍처는 기존의 CNN 방식으로 진행한 학습 시간에 비해 8배, 테스트에서 600배 빠른 속도로 결과를 제공한다. DirectNet은 CNN에 비해 2.11%의 약간 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 다 른 측정 항목에서도 동등하거나 그 이상의 결과를 보여 분석 시간 효율을 크게 높였다.
Lithium-ion batteries have been considered the most important devices to power mobile or small-sized devices due to their high energy density. LixCoO2 has been studied as a cathode material for the Li-ion battery. However, the limitation of its capacity impedes the development of high capacity cathode materials with Ni, Mn, etc. in them. The substitution of Mn and Ni for Co leads to the formation of solid solution phase LiNixMnyCo1-x-yO2 (NMC, both x and y < 1), which shows better battery performance than unsubstituted LiCoO2. However, despite a high discharge capacity in the Ni-rich compound (Ni > 0.8 in the metal site), poor cycle retention capability still remains to be overcome. In this study, aiming to improve the stability of the physical and chemical bonding, we investigate the stabilization effect of Ca in the Ni-rich layered compound Li(Ni0.83Co0.12Mn0.05)O2, and then Ca is added to the modified secondary particles to lower the degree of cationic mixing of the final particles. For the optimization of the final grains added with Ca, the Ca content (x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 at.%) versus Li is analyzed.
Current petrochemical product mainly comes from light olefin, such as ethylene and propylene. these olefins can be obtained as mixture form of olefin/paraffin, which is co-product of naphtha cracking process. However, the mixture of light olefin and paraffin is considerably difficult to separate because they have similar physicochemical properties such as density, boiling point, and molecular weight. Cryogenic distillation is currently utilized, but still suffered from high operating cost. Membrane separation with polyimide-based material is a promising alternative due to its lower energy cost and modular operation. Here, we synthesized composite membrane with metal-organic framework (MOF) based on polyimide exhibiting high permeability and selectivity in propylene/propane separation, as well as simple preparation and high stability.
We synthesized the poly(4-vinylbenzyltributylammonium hexanesulfonate) P[VBTBA][HS] which was obtained via anion exchange with hexanesulfonate after acquiring monomer [VBTBA][Cl] by Menshutkin reaction to investigate its feasibility as draw solute for forward osmosis process. P[VBTBA][HS] shows lower critical solution temperature (LCST) property at about 21℃, while LCST property of [VBTBA][Cl] and P[VBTBA][Cl] was not confirmed. This result suggests that P[VBTBA][HS] can be recovered from solution by heating them to above LCST. In AL-FS mode with solution of 20 wt% P[VBTBA][HS] at 15℃, water flux and reverse solute flux were found to be about 6.43 LMH and 0.59 gMH. This study can provide an understanding of new way of proceeding draw solute and information for the potential design and synthesis of thermo-responsive organic material.
Laminated graphene oxide (GO) membrane has great attention for ultrafast flux membrane with well-defined pore structure. However, laminated structure is sensitive to various factors such as functionalization, fabrication method and especially support morphology due to ultrathin thickness. Herein, we investigated surface roughness effect by controlling systematically wrinkled structure of support with ion beam treatment. Wrinkled surface of support generates free volume at interface, facilitating fast water transport, which confirmed 6.4 times enhancement on permeation of water while maintaining high rejection of all dye molecules. The tunability of nanostructure through support control can provide development for ultrathin GO membrane in water purification.
Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been widely used as representative polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) materials for water electrolysis to generate hydrogen and oxygen gases with a high purity (e.g., 99.999%) simultaneously. PEM should satisfy high selectivity of proton to water and act as gas barrier to hydrogen and oxygen in order to improve current efficiency which is a barometer to determine how effectively the electric energy is used for water electrolysis. In this study, PFSA ionomers with different chemical architectures and equivalent weights were used to make PEM materials for water electrolysis. The structure-property-performance relationship was systematically investigated.

Light weighting is one of techniques considered importantly at designing the mechanical structure using the light weight material. This study deals with aluminum-6061 and aluminum foam which stood in the spotlight of light weight material. And the finite element method for safety evaluation has been carried out in order to prevent from the damage and fatigue fracture due to crack appearing at the mechanical structure with this material. The simulation analysis as MT(middle tension) test was carried out by using the core of aluminum foam and the material laminated with sandwich structure of Al-6061. The mechanical structure is linked together with various parts and designed as the material with hole or crack. So, MT test is one of the test methods to evaluate the fatigue fracture characteristic of material and the strength inside material with the center crack by applying the load to the part connected pin. The real material strength is thought to be evaluated through the study result of MT test analysis.
The improvement in computing systems and sensor technologies devotes to conduct data-driven structural health monitoring algorithms for existing civil infrastructures. Despite of the development of techniques, the uncertainty oriented from the measurement results in the discrepancy to the actual structural parameters and let engineers or decision makers hesitate to adopt such techniques. Many studies have shown that the modal identification results can be affected by the uncertainties due to the applied methods and the types of loading. This paper aims to compare the performance of modal identification methods using Structural Modal Identification Toolsuite (SMIT) which has been developed to facilitate multiple identification methods with a user-friendly designed platform. The data fed into SMIT processes three stages for the comprehensive identification including preprocessing, eigenvalue estimation, and post-processing. The seismic and white noise response for shear frame model was obtained from numerical simulation. The identified modal parameters is compared to the actual modal parameters. In order to improve the quality of coherence in identified modal parameters, several hurdles including modal phase collinearity and extended modal amplitude coherence were introduced. Numerical simulation conducted on the 5 dof shear frame model were used to validate the effectiveness of using these parameters.
Owing to the development in information and communications technologies have improved the technology for high-speed transmission of massive data, which has changed closed-circuit television (CCTV) video transmission technology. In particular, digitization of the CCTV video format and streaming technology has made it possible to minimize transmission loss and integrate video transmission and camera control(pan/tilt). It has also become possible to provide additional services like remote emergency warning broadcasting with just Internet Protocol (IP). However, because of the structural problems of IP, these changes have also brought about the threat of hacking of CCTV monitoring systems. In this study, we propose a methode to optimize network management by examining cases of enhancement of operational efficiency and security by improving the structure of CCTV monitoring network.
