In this study, a smart bench was developed and researched smart benches that can contribute to user convenience and satisfaction by installing them in parks, bus stops, and tourist attractions in line with the rapidly changing construction of smart cities. The smart bench is automatically operated by the control system according to the external temperature and provides additional functions such as charging, lighting, and advertising to improve general bench functions as well as heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it suitable for smart urbanization. The developed smart bench is designed to be strong enough to withstand loads of about 2,500 N. It minimizes the visible parts such as assembled bolts and 220V power supply wires, It can also give aesthetic effects. The development was carried out with the aim of waterproofing and dustproofing of IP44 grade in accordance with the climate of Republic of Korea, which has four seasons, and it is advantageous for long-term use because the paint was selected for the weather ability (discoloration) grade 3 or higher. If smart bench is commercialized, it is believed that various options can be provided to the smart bench market, where buyers had few product options, as the parts were developed in an assembled type so that all functions can be responded in an optional form according to the installation environment and the buyer's budget.

Malaysia is regarded as one of the leaders in the global halal marketplace, which has undergone huge growth in the past few years. The aims of this study were to identify imported food consumers in Malaysia based on Food Related Lifestyle (FRL) attributes and to investigate the demographic characteristics and purchasing behaviors of each segmented groups. Using an online survey, a total of 600 responses were collected in Malaysia. Excluding invalid responses, cluster analysis segmented imported food consumers into four FRL groups: impulsive, high interest, low interest, and traditional consumers. The results of this study were as follows. First, depending on lifestyle, the groups exhibited significant differences in demographic characteristics (age, race, religion, and education level). Second, differences in purchasing behaviors (purchasing frequency, place, and information sources of imported food products) were verified. Especially, purchasing frequency of imported food was higher in the high interest consumer group compared to the other groups. Based on these results, marketing implications of the study findings are discussed.

본 연구에서는 LED 면조명을 이용한 감성조명시스템의 인체 생리학적 반응을 검증하였다. 실험은 시각 질환이 없는 건강한 20대 남성 10명을 대상으로 LED 면조명의 색상에 따른 인체의 반응을 평가하였다. LED 조명은 빨간색, 주황색, 노란색, 초록색, 파란색, 보라색, 무채색(하얀색)을 사용하여 5분간 조명 자극을 주었다. 평가 방 법으로 심리적 상태를 분석하기 위하여 뇌파와 심박변이도를 평가하였고 피부의 온도 변화를 살펴보기 위해 체 열을 평가하였다. 분석 결과 뇌파의 경우 무채색, 빨간색, 주황색 LED 면조명 자극 시 α파 비율이 감소하였다. 또한 무채색, 빨간색, 주황색, 노란색 LED 면조명 자극을 받을 때 부교감신경에 비하여 교감신경이 활성화되고, 체열이 증가하였다. 이에 비해 초록색, 파란색, 보라색 LED 면조명 자극을 받을 때에는 α파 비율의 증가와 교감 신경에 비하여 부교감신경의 활성화가 발생하였고 체열이 감소하였다. 향후 각 색상을 조합하여 상황별 모드를 구성한 실험과 시각적 자극 외에 아로마와 같은 후각 자극, 음악과 자연의 소리를 이용한 청각 자극 등을 이용한 복합한 시너지 효과에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

We used an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis, a novel PCR-based technique, to differentiate Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) of Korean races. The 6 strains of Xoo K1, K2, K3 races were tested with 81 AFLP primer combinations to identify the best selective primers. The primer combinations were selected according to their reproducibility, number of polymorphic bands and polymorphism detected among Xoo strains. 18 strains of Xoo K1, K2 and K3 races were analyzed with the selected combinations of primer set. Some primer combinations (Eco R I +1 / Mse I+1) could differentiate Xoo of Korean races that were not distinguished by other fingerprinting analysis. Thus AFLP fingerprinting permitted very fine discrimination among different races.
