This paper explores whether the English reading texts of College Scholastic Ability Tests are factually accurate. The tests which were administered over the fifteen-year period since 1996 are investigated with regard to whether the infonnation in the texts which deal with historical events or figures and real life situations is factually accurate. The results show that there are 12 test items which are not factually accurate. Some of the items which use the original texts intact or have a minor modification to them contain information which is not true when their original texts are cross checked with various sources of materials. Others have inaccurate information resulted from the revisions of the original texts such as modifying them in order to lower the difficulty of the items. In conclusion, it is suggested that every effort should be made to confirm whether the information in the reading texts is factually accurate or to sustain the information as it is as much as possible if it is accurate.

In this paper, the author proposed following two methods to improve the accuracy of the recommender system. First, in order to classify the users more accurately, the author used a EMC(Expanded Moving Center) heuristic algorithm which improved clustering accuracy. Second, the author proposed the Neighborhood-oriented preference prediction method that improved the conventional preference prediction methods, so the accuracy of the recommender system is improved. The test result of the recommender system which adapted the above two methods suggested in this paper was improved the accuracy than the conventional recommendation methods.

주소는 현대사회에서 사람들이 위치를 개념화하는 기본적인 수단 중 하나이며, 위치의 정보를 지니는 주소는 개인행태나 특정 사상의 공간적 분포 분석 시 사용되고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 주소체계는 지번주소와 도로명주소가 병행되어 사용되고 있다. 우리나라의 주소표시방법인 지번주소체계는 산업화⋅도시화의 진전으로 도시의 구조가 복잡해지고 거대화됨에 따라 주소의 위치 표시기능에 대해 문제점이 많이 지적되었기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 도로명주소체계는 도로망기반의 지오코딩이 가능해짐에 따라 위치정확도 를 평가하고 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 방안들을 제시하였다. 실험결과 도로세그먼트를 수정하지 않은 상태에서 지오코딩의 위치오차는 평균 6.88m이었으나, 도로세그먼트 수정을 통해 평균 3.94m로 위치정확도가 향상되었다. 이러한 결과는 향후 주소자료의 GIS데이터베이스 구축에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다.

Since the introduction of the 6th National Curriculum, English pronunciation teaching in Korea has geared toward fluency, less focusing on accuracy. Since then the two technical terms, accuracy and fluency, have been widely used in the EFL literature in Korea, but in a rather confusing way. This paper is an endeavor to clarify these two concepts in terms of the viewpoints of Phonetics and English Education. From the phonetic standpoint, I argued that accuracy is more closely related to 'clear speech,' whereas fluency is applicable to either 'clear speech' or 'casual speech'. I also suggested two methods for the evaluation of English speaking fluency: one is the evaluation of weak form pronunciation: the other, sentence stresses. From a viewpoint of English Education, I reviewed some relevant literature and found that (1) accuracy and fluency are related to language usage and language use, respectively; (2) accuracy and fluency have been used as terms applicable to all four language skills in language learning, rather than speaking skill only: (3) a definition of fluency needs to be modified for its flexible use in ESL/EFL classroom setting; (4) a number of recent textbooks on pronunciation teaching include lots of useful fluency enhancing practices. As a conclusion, I summed up afore-mentioned discussions and presented some suggestions for the National Curriculum in the future.

이 논문은 일정체적 캔틸레버 기둥의 정확탄성곡선(elastica)에 관한 연구이다. 기둥의 자유단에 압축하중과 모멘트 하중으로 구성되는 조합하중이 작용하는 캔틸레버 기둥의 정확탄성곡선을 지배하는 비선형 미분방정식과 경계조건을 유도하였다. 미분방정식에는 전단변형효과를 고려하였다. 기둥의 변단면으로는 정다각형 단면을 갖는 선형, 포물선형 및 정현의 변단면을 채택하였다. 기둥의 정확탄성곡선을 해석하기 위하여 유도된 미분방정식을 수치해석하였다. 수치해석의 결과를 이용하여 기둥의 무차원 변수들이 정확탄성곡선에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험실 규모의 실험을 실시하여 이 연구에서 얻어진 수치해석의 결과를 검증하였다.

임상에서 주로 사용되고 있는 서로 다른 각막형태검사기기(corneal topographer)의 신뢰도와 정확도를 비교 분석하였다. 정상안의 양안에 OrbscanIIz Slit-scan system, Oculus topography system, Eyesys corneal analysis system 및 Humphrey Atlas corneal topography system을 이용하여 각막중심부의 곡률반경(apical radius), simulated K-reading과 이심률을 측정하였다. 47명(94안)을 대상으로 동일한 검사자 에 의한 두 번의 독립된 측정과 서로 다른 검사자에 의한 측정으로 신뢰도를 비교하 였고, 수동각막곡률계를 기준으로 동일한 검사자가 19명(38안)을 대상으로 두 번의 독립된 측정을 수행하여 정확도를 구하였다. 각각의 기기에서 동일한 검사자가 반복 측정한 값은 유의한 차이가 없었고, 서로 다른 검사자에 의한 측정값 사이에서도 유 의한 차이가 없었다. 신뢰성계수(COR)가 가장 높은 기기는, apical radius는 Oculus (COR = 0.043), flatter simulated K-reading은 Eyesys(COR = 0.034), steeper simulated K-reading은 Oculus(COR = 0.048), eccentricity는 Eyesys(COR = 0.024)였다. 신뢰성 측정변수에서 Oculus와 Eyesys가 OrbscanIIz와 Humphrey Atlas보다 신뢰도가 좀더 높게 나타났다. 수동각막곡률계를 기준으로 한 flatter K-reading 및 steeper Kreading에 대한 정확성계수는 Orbscan IIz에서 각각0.069과 0.075, Oculus는 0.047과 0.075, Eyesys는 0.047과 0.068 및 Humphrey Atlas는 0.066과 0.078이었다. 4가지 기 기 모두 steeper K-reading보다 flatter K-reading의 정확도가 더 높았다. 4가지 각막 형태검사기기 사이에서 신뢰도와 정확도는 유의한 차이가 없었다.

The sample for this work chosen from data related to manufacturing industries during three years (2002~2004) in Korea. The resulting classification rules have been incorporated into development of a developed database tool to help quantify associated risks and act as an early warning system to individual industrial accident in manufacturing industries.

Immuno-MemBlot is a technique for detecting, analyzing, and identifying proteins, similar to the Western blot technique but differing in that protein samples are not separated electrophoretically but are spotted through circular or slot templates directly onto the membrane. Recently we developed a new Immuno-MemBlot (IMB) method applying immunoreactions and coloring procedures directly in the wells of MemBlot apparatus, which were connected by canals to perform drainage for reagent application and buffer irrigation. This IMB method was designed to get theimmunoblot results more rapidly and clearly than the previous immunoblot ones. This study is aimed to evaluate the analytical accuracy of IMB using different biological assay. In the sensitivity test of IMB the monoclonal antibody can clearly detect the 30 ng (about 12 pM) of Mucocidin peptide (35 mer), and is also available to detect at least 10 ng (about 4 pM) of Mucocidin peptide (35 mer). The IMB was effective in the quantitative analysis of methothrexate (MTX) assay for cellular apoptosis. And more, this IMB is useful to screen large number of specific samples with ease and accuracy in a short time. In the screenings for the presence of Mucocidin in saliva the quantitative comparison is conspicuous among 48 persons depend on the different conditions ofgender, drinking and smoking habits, and oral diseases. Therefore, it is presumed that, even though the target proteins were partly degraded, a specific epitope can be detected if a monoclonal antibody was still reactive. Conclusively, these data suggest that the IMB can be useful in the primary qualitativeand quantitative analysis of proteins in various fluids, i.e., blood, saliva, tear, urine, etc.

In the capacity spectrum method (CSM), the peak response of an inelastic system under a given earthquake load is estimated transforming the system into the equivalent elastic one. This paper presented estimating the peak inelastic response is evaIuated by the CSM. The equivalent period and damping are calculated using the ATC-40, Gülkan, Kowalsky, and Iwan methods, and the performance points are obtained according the procedure B of ATC-40. Analysis results indicate that the ATC-40 method generaIly underestimates the peak response, while the Gülkan and Kowalsky methods overestimate the responses. The Iwan method produces the values between those by the ATC-40 method and the Gülkan and Kowalsky methods, and estimates the reponses relatively closer to the exact ones. Further, it is found that the Kowalsky method gives the negative equivalent damping ratios depending on the hardening ratios, and thereby can not be used to estimate the responses in some cases.

The experimented rangefinder consist of sets of V/A-Code GPS and sets of L1 C/A-code & carrier phase receivers connected by two spread spectrum radio modems in order to measure relative range and bearing between two ship antennas by real time, comparing and analyzing accuracy of both GPS receivers at the fix point on the land by means of executing zero baseline test by C/A code and by carrier phase as well as measuring distance range 5m, 10m, 15m between each other receivers. The results from the measurement of relative range and bearing are as follows as ;1. According to the results from zero baseline test, the average error by C/A-code receiver is less than 0.1m, which proves theories from published books but when each GPS receivers track different satellites, the range accuracy error becomes up to 100m by means of S/A. Because of this sudden wide range error, rangefinder is not appropriate at relative range measurement without additional modification of the algorism of the GPS receiver itself.2. According to relative range measurement by Carrier Phase and zero baseline test at static condition, the range error is less than 3.5cm in case that it passes more than 5 minutes after GPS sets can track simultaneously more than 6 satellites. Its main reason is understood that the phase center of antenna is bigger than geodetic antenna.3. When range measurement of two receivers from 5m, to 10m to 15m, the each range error is 0.340m, 0.190m, 0.011m and each standard variation is 0.0973m, 0.0884m, 0.0790m. The range error and standard variation are in inverse proportion to distance between two receivers. 4. L1 Carrier Phase GPS generally needs 5 minutes to fix and during this ambiguity search, the relative range and bearing angle is shown to be various.
