This study aims to validate the feasibility of using LiDAR reflectivity data to quantitatively estimate the retroreflectivity of road lane markings. The goal is to establish the optimal scanning conditions considering the channel position, angle of incidence, and vehicle speed for an accurate and consistent retroreflectivity assessment in mobile environments. Fifteen standard lane marking samples with known retroreflectivity values were scanned using an OS1-128 LiDAR sensor under controlled field conditions. A two-phase experiment was conducted: (1) a speed-based test to assess the influence of vehicle velocity (20-80 km/h) on LiDAR reflectivity measurements, and (2) a channel–angle–distance test using a static testbed to analyze the relationship between retroreflectivity, LiDAR channel position (that is, the angle of incidence), and measurement distance. Ground truth retroreflectivity values were obtained using a high-precision handheld retroreflectometer. Reflectivity measurements showed a strong correlation with standard retroreflectivity values, particularly at scanning angle between 100-115° and distances of 4.9-5.6 m. The coefficient of determination (R2) exceeded 0.97 across optimal conditions. Speedrelated tests confirmed that the LiDAR-based reflectivity remained stable with a minimal RMSE (< 5), even under high-speed driving scenarios. LiDAR sensors provided reliable and contactless estimates of pavement marking retroreflectivity when the channel angle and scanning distance were appropriately selected. The findings demonstrated that channel-specific calibration and incidence angle correction significantly improved the measurement accuracy. This suggests a practical path forward for automated large-scale retroreflectivity monitoring in road asset management systems.

This study focused on optimizing the digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing process for high-precision ceramic components using alumina-based slurries. Key challenges, such as cracking during debinding and precision loss due to slurry sedimentation, were addressed by evaluating the exposure time and the nano-to-micro alumina powder ratios. The optimal conditions—exposure time of 15 seconds and a 1:9 mixing ratio—minimized cracking, improved gas flow during debinding, and increased structural precision. Microchannels with diameters above 1.2 mm were successfully fabricated, but channels below 0.8 mm faced challenges due to slurry accumulation and over-curing. These results establish a reliable process for fabricating complex ceramic components with improved precision and structural stability. The findings have significant potential for applications in high-value industries, including aerospace, energy, and healthcare, by providing a foundation for the efficient and accurate production of advanced ceramic structures.

In order to understand the MR fluid flow in the MR damper core, the annular orifice path was simplified into a square channel and the electromagnetic flow was analyzed. For this purpose, the CFD-ACE+ program was used. The temperature and magnetic field of the MR fluid were based on room temperature and orifice wall data, and 2-D steady incompressible laminar flow was assumed. The inlet and outlet of the orifice channel are at atmospheric pressure, and the inflow velocity of the MR fluid is 0.1 m/s. After analyzing the magnetic field of the core, which is a simple model of the 1 stage MR damper, the electromagnetic flow analysis of the MR fluid flowing through the orifice channel was performed. From this, the magnetic field of the orifice channel and the electromagnetic flow of the MR fluid were observed. As the magnetic flux density increased, the flow distribution and velocity of the MR fluid in the channel core changed significantly.

본 연구는 뇌 DWI에서 딥러닝 적용 시 48채널과 8채널 헤드 코일 간 영상 품질의 차이를 분석하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 3.0T MRI를 사용하여 두 종류의 코일을 비교하였으며, 딥러닝 알고리즘의 효과를 확인하기 위해 SNR(신호 대 잡음비), ADC(겉보기 확산 계수), SSIM(구조적 유사성 지수)을 측정하였습니다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 딥러닝 적용 후 b-value에 따른 두 코일 간의 차이가 나타났다. 특히 b-value 0 및 1000에서는 딥러닝 적용 전후에 두 코일 간 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었지만, b-value 3000에서는 적용 전후 모두에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. SSIM 분석에서도 딥러닝 적용 전후 차이는 없었으나, b-value에 따른 차이가 측정되었습니다. 이러한 차이는 영상 판독에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 이를 개선하기 위해서는 딥러닝 알고리즘이 부위별, 코일별, 펄스 시퀀스별로 최적화 될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 향후 딥러닝 기반 MRI 영상의 정확도와 일관성을 높이기 위한 기초 정보를 제공 하며, 임상적 적용에서 부위별, 수신 코일별, 펄스 시퀀스별로 세분된 딥러닝의 최적화가 필요하다.

In this study, based on previous research on personal broadcasting, we indirectly measured content quality, YouTuber attributes, user satisfaction, and behavioral intention, which are latent variables that cannot be directly measured, as measurement variables, and then measured theoretically between the latent variables. In order to analyze the causal relationship, we used a structural equation model to determine to what extent the content quality of the YouTube mukbang channel and the YouTuber's attributes influence behavioral intentions such as purchase, recommendation, and continued use according to viewers' satisfaction with use. We intend to analyze and verify the relationship between related variables. The research results are as follows. First, the value, relevance, timeliness, completeness, and data quantity of content quality were found to have no significant impact on user satisfaction. Second, the trustworthiness, expertise, attractiveness, and intimacy of YouTuber attributes were found to have a significant impact on user satisfaction, but the similarity of YouTuber attributes did not have a significant impact on usage. Third, user satisfaction was found to have a significant impact on behavioral intentions and purchase intentions. However, user satisfaction was not found to have a direct significant impact on recommendation intentions or continued usage intentions.

Until now, research on consumers’ purchasing behavior has primarily focused on psychological aspects or depended on consumer surveys. However, there may be a gap between consumers’ self-reported perceptions and their observable actions. In response, this study aimed to investigate consumer purchasing behavior utilizing a big data approach. To this end, this study investigated the purchasing patterns of fashion items, both online and in retail stores, from a data-driven perspective. We also investigated whether individual consumers switched between online websites and retail establishments for making purchases. Data on 516,474 purchases were obtained from fashion companies. We used association rule analysis and K-means clustering to identify purchase patterns that were influenced by customer loyalty. Furthermore, sequential pattern analysis was applied to investigate the usage patterns of online and offline channels by consumers. The results showed that high-loyalty consumers mainly purchased infrequently bought items in the brand line, as well as high-priced items, and that these purchase patterns were similar both online and in stores. In contrast, the low-loyalty group showed different purchasing behaviors for online versus in-store purchases. In physical environments, the low-loyalty consumers tended to purchase less popular or more expensive items from the brand line, whereas in online environments, their purchases centered around items with relatively high sales volumes. Finally, we found that both high and low loyalty groups exclusively used a single preferred channel, either online or in-store. The findings help companies better understand consumer purchase patterns and build future marketing strategies around items with high brand centrality.

PURPOSES : The objectives of this study are to evaluate the condition of concrete bridge decks using the multi-channel ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing and compare the value of its dielectric constant value with actual concrete condition. METHODS : The reflection coefficient method was used to measure the dielectric properties of concrete bridge decks. Air-coupled step-frequency GPR testing was used to measure the time taken for reflection from the interfaces between the layers. Specimens of the asphalt mixture and concrete bridge-deck were collected by field coring. GPR testing was conducted on two bridges with different concrete bridge deck conditions on national highways. After the GPR tests, the actual conditions of the concrete bridge deck were investigated using specimen coring. RESULTS : GPR testing indicated that the dielectric constants of concrete bridge decks in good condition ranged from 8 to 10, whereas those corresponding to poor condition ranged from 4 to 6. The results of GPR testing can determine the actual condition and degree of distress of concrete bridge decks determined from the specimen coring data. Therefore, GPR testing is appropriate for nondestructively evaluating the condition of a concrete bridge deck. CONCLUSIONS : The analysis results of the dielectric constants of the concrete bridge deck obtained from multichannel GPR testing were consistent with the actual bridge deck conditions. In the near future, an additional verification process for this approach under different bridge conditions will be required to improve its precision and ensure reliability.

This research not only determined the preference of fashion brand distribution channels of active Korean and Chinese seniors who became major consumers in the fashion industry, but also analyzed the effect on these preferences and choices of distribution channels depending on personal consumption characteristics and differences between the two groups. Data was collected by a professional survey firm. SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used for empirical analysis, and frequency analysis, multiple response analysis, EFA, reliability analysis, CFA, SEM, and multiple-group comparison analysis were performed. As a result of multiple response analysis, the offline channel was revealed as the preferred fashion distribution channel for active Korean and Chinese seniors; the second most popular was the online channel. The results of multiple-group comparison analysis reveal differences between two groups in seeking emotional consumption via the offline channel; the effect was only evident for active Korean seniors. A difference in seeking emotional consumption via preference for online channel also existed, but only for active Chinese seniors. For these reasons, marketers targeting active Korean seniors will be effective to not only offer brand information by fashion display to let seniors understand the fashion brand, but also to have brand events to form positive emotions toward the fashion brand. Moreover, targeting active Chinese seniors will be necessary to transmit brand sensibility by utilizing metaverse marketing comprising various factors, so that consumers can enjoy the fashion brand.

Recently in Korea, YouTube stock channels increased rapidly due to the high social interest in the stock market during the COVID-19 period. Accordingly, the role of new media channels such as YouTube is attracting attention in the process of generating and disseminating market information. Nevertheless, prior studies on the market forecasting power of YouTube stock channels remain insignificant. In this study, the market forecasting power of the information from the YouTube stock channel was examined and compared with traditional news media. To measure information from each YouTube stock channel and news media, positive and negative opinions were extracted. As a result of the analysis, opinion in channels operated by media outlets were found to be leading indicators of KOSPI market returns among YouTube stock channels. The prediction accuracy by using logistic regression model show 74%. On the other hand, Sampro TV, a popular YouTube stock channel, and the traditional news media simply reported the market situation of the day or instead showed a tendency to lag behind the market. This study is differentiated from previous studies in that it verified the market predictive power of the information provided by the YouTube stock channel, which has recently shown a growing trend in Korea. In the future, the results of advanced analysis can be confirmed by expanding the research results for individual stocks.

The purpose of this study is to reveal and compare the differences in the types and characteristics of purchase channel journeys of MZ generation consumers. In this study a survey was conducted on the purchase channel journey of 20 women in the MZ generation using the ethnographic method of in-depth interviews and observations. As a result, three purchase channel journeys were identified: mobile, multi-channel, and offline. These were variously subdivided according to the characteristics of the MZ generations. Gen Z’s journey was categorized into types: fashion platform app, Youtube, multi-channel supplement, multi-channel non-planned store visit, offline loyalty store, and impulsive offline store. Gen M’s journey was categorized as: an online community bond, portal site, online loyalty store, multi-channel brand involvement, multi-channel efficiency, a multi-channel conversion, offline efficiency and offline task. The difference in mobile journey between generations was found in the time and length of the purchase. Gen M recognized both online and offline search processes to be tiring, while Gen Z enjoyed the search process using the online path. In the offline journey Gen Z began with their own intention to purchase, while Gen M sometimes recognized that purchasing fashion products necessary for work was a cumbersome task.
