This study aimed to suggest a suitable collar pattern by visually evaluating the appearance of the amount of collar drape by the starting position of the lapel line of a double-breasted tailored jacket using a 3d virtual fitting program. It created an avatar based on the mean size of women in their 20s (the 8th Size Korea) using clo network (double fastening: 10cm, collar width: 4.5cm, collar stand: 3cm, and lapel width: 8.5cm). The starting of the lapel twist line was waistline level, the 1/2 level of bustline and waistline, or bustline level, and collar laying amount was 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, or 7.5cm. It was evaluated by garment construction experts using 5, 6, and 4 items on the front, sides, and back, respectively. Descriptive statistics, F-test, Duncantest, and reliability analysis were conducted using SPSS 22. When collar laying amount was 6.5cm, it was best rated regardless of the starting point. Under waist line, when collar laying amount was 6.5cm, it was best rated regardless of the starting point. When collar laying amount was large, the collar’s outline length increased, resulting in unnecessary wrinkles from the neckline to the lapel, affecting the overall collar appearance. When collar laying amount was the smallest, the collar was lifted and the width was narrowed, exposing the seam connecting the collar and neckline. The length of the collar’s outline varied depending on collar laying amount, which was important to make the outline sit comfortably on the body.

This study utilized the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) to examine usage intentions associated with virtual fitting services. Six independent variables were examined: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and habit. The study collected responses from 445 participants who had utilized virtual fitting services. Regarding factors related to usage intentions associated with these services, performance expectancy and social influence were found to significantly influence the usage intentions associated with photo-based virtual fitting services. Furthermore, performance expectancy, social influence, and habit significantly influenced the usage intention of avatar-based virtual fitting services. This suggests that higher levels of performance expectancy and social influence positively impact the usage intentions associated with both types of virtual fitting services, while habit influences only avatar-based virtual fitting services. Moreover, the findings confirm that effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation from UTAUT2 do not significantly influence usage intentions associated with virtual fitting services. By analyzing factors influencing potential customers’ virtual fitting service usage intentions, this study can suggest effective strategies to increase usage intentions for companies providing virtual fitting services. Additionally, these findings can be utilized in the formulation of virtual fitting service marketing strategies.

Compared to the prevalence of advertising targeted at teens, our understanding of their vulnerability to advertising has been limited due to the cognitive/developmental view adopted by most previous research. However, cognitive development is not the most significant aspect that differentiates adolescents from adults. Adolescence is when teenagers start to take on more responsibility in defining themselves and become more skilled at using consumption to construct and signal their identity. On one hand, teens have a growing desire to express their unique identity as autonomous and distinctive individuals, separate from their family and differentiated from others. On the other hand, they are nearly obsessed with what others think about them, striving to belong to a group and feeling devastated by signs of disapproval from peers. This conflict between the need for assimilation and the need for differentiation is especially pronounced during adolescence when teenagers increasingly seek the approval of their peers while expressing their uniqueness. As a result, their sense of self is in a constant state of flux. This "shaky" self-identity has been shown in previous research to coincide with low self-esteem, which is associated with a high level of materialism.

This study aims to develop a fitted torso pattern suitable for males in their forties and fifties who are obese—a group that accounts for more than fifty percent of men in this age group—using a 3D virtual fitting program. Size Korea’s 2022 data for obese males in their forties and fifties is utilized for this study. In terms of the research method, a 3D program (CLO 3D) is used to implement the target group’s various body types and to apply fitted torsos that enable verification and evaluation of the pattern’s fit and ease. The characteristics of fitted torso patterns for obese bodies are as follows: the front centerline is a profile line; shoulder darts are added by reflecting waist-abdominal protrusion in the front panel; and shoulder, arm, waist, and center-back darts are constructed for the back panel. For obese bodies, the minimum circumference ease amounts should be approximately 6–7cm for the chest, 6cm for the waist, and 6–7cm for the hips. Based on an evaluation of the virtual fit of the developed fitted torso pattern, the data shows that a pattern (foundation) such as this is well suited for obese body types with an average of 4.67/5 points for reverse triangular obesity, an average of 6.67/7 points for log obesity, and an average of 6.69 points for the ease amount.

Based on the light an exoplanet blocks from its host star as it passes in front of it during a transit, the mid-transit time can be determined. Periodic variations in mid-transit times can indicate another planet’s gravitational influence. We investigate 83 transits of TrES-1 b as observed from 6-inch telescopes in the MicroObservatory robotic telescope network. The EXOTIC data reduction pipeline is used to process these transits, fit transit models to light curves, and calculate transit midpoints. This paper details the methodology for analyzing transit timing variations (TTVs) and using transit measurements to maintain ephemerides. The application of Lomb-Scargle period analysis for studying the plausibility of TTVs is explained. The analysis of the resultant TTVs from 46 transits from MicroObservatory and 47 transits from archival data in the Exoplanet Transit Database indicated the possible existence of other planets affecting the orbit of TrES-1 and improved the precision of the ephemeris by one order of magnitude. We now estimate the ephemeris to be (2 455 489.66026 BJDTDB ± 0.00044 d) + (3.0300689 ± 0.0000007) d×epoch. This analysis also demonstrates the role of small telescopes in making precise midtransit time measurements, which can be used to help maintain ephemerides and perform TTV analysis. The maintenance of ephemerides allows for an increased ability to optimize telescope time on large groundbased telescopes and space telescope missions.

Global fitting functions for Fe-selective chlorination in ilmenite(FeTiO2) and successive chlorination of beneficiated TiO2 are proposed and validated based on a comparison with experimental data collected from the literature. The Fe-selective chlorination reaction is expressed by the unreacted shrinking core model, which covers the diffusion-controlling step of chlorinated Fe gas that escapes through porous materials of beneficiated TiO2 formed by Fe-selective chlorination, and the chemical reaction-controlling step of the surface reaction of unreacted solid ilmenite. The fitting function is applied for both chemical controlling steps of the unreacted shrinking core model. The validation shows that our fitting function is quite effective to fit with experimental data by minimum and maximum values of determination coefficients of R2 as low as 0.9698 and 0.9988, respectively, for operating parameters such as temperature, Cl2 pressure, carbon ratio and particle size that change comprehensively. The global fitting functions proposed in this study are expressed simply as exponential functions of chlorination rate(X) vs. time(t), and each of them are validated by a single equation for various reaction conditions. There is therefore a certain practical merit for the optimal process design and performance analysis for field engineers of chlorination reactions of ilmenite and TiO2.

목적 : 실리콘 하이드로겔렌즈의 베이스커브가 피팅상태와 착용감에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법 : 안질환이 없고 콘택트렌즈 착용에 문제가 없는 성인 30명(60안, 평균 나이: 21.9±1.5세)를 대상으로 하였다. 두 종류의 베이스커브(8.5 mm와 9.0 mm)를 가진 실리콘 하이드로겔렌즈를 사용하여 경험적 피팅법은 각막의 약주경선의 곡률반경이 7.8 mm보다 스티프하면 8.5 mm 베이스커브로, 7.8 mm보다 플랫하면 9.0 mm 베이스커브로 결정하였고, 시험렌즈 피팅법은 두 개 베이스커브의 콘택트렌즈를 이중맹검법으로 모두 착용 시킨 후 평가하였다. 콘택트렌즈 착용 후 피팅상태는 렌즈의 중심잡기, 순목 시 렌즈움직임, 래그(lag), 푸쉬업검사(push-up test), 케라토미터 마이어상 관찰 결과로 평가하였고, 자각적 착용감은 Likert 5점 척도 설문 조사를 통해 평가하였다. 결과 : 경험적 피팅법의 경우 전체 대상안의 91.67%에서 적합한 피팅상태를 보였으나, 시험렌즈 피팅법을 통해 두 가지 베이스커브의 피팅상태를 비교하면 스티프한 각막에 9.0 mm 베이스커브가 이상적인 경우가 33.33%, 플랫 한 각막에 8.5 mm 베이스커브가 이상적인 경우도 25%로 나타나, 경험적 피팅법을 통해 이상적인 성공률은 71.67% 을 나타냈고, 시험렌즈 피팅법은 100%의 성공률을 보였다. 베이스커브 별 착용감은 대상자의 63.33%가 베이스커 브에 따라 착용감에 차이를 느끼지 않았지만 8.5 mm에서 3.53점, 9.0 mm에서 2.75점으로 8.5 mm 베이스커브 에 대한 만족도가 유의하게 높았고(t=4.528, p<0.001), 플랫 각막군의 27.78%가 8.5 mm 베이스커브에 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 실리콘 하이드로겔렌즈의 베이스커브 선택에 있어서 각막의 곡률반경만을 고려한 경험적 피팅을 하거나 착용자 착용감에만 의존할 경우 부적합한 상태가 나타날 수 있으므로 시험렌즈 피팅을 통한 피팅상태 평가가 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

목적: 소프트 콘택트렌즈 착용자를 대상으로 착용실태 및 구입현황, 피팅 상태 확인 유무에 따른 자각적 증상, 그리고 베이스커브에 대한 소비자 인식도를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2018년 6월부터 8월까지 소프트 콘택트렌즈를 구매하기 위하여 서울소재의 안경원 및 렌즈샵에 방문한 사람들을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 총 98부를 분석에 이용하였다. 카이제곱 검정과 Fisher의 정확 검정을 이용하여 피팅 상태 확인(착용감과 관련된 문진, 푸시업 테스트 등) 유무에 따른 자각적 증상(건조함, 빛 번짐, 착용감 불편, 시력저하)을 비교하였으며, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 오즈비를 구하였다. 결과: 소프트 콘택트렌즈를 구입 시 시력검사를 받고 구입한 경우는 안경원은 86.6%, 렌즈샵은 64.7%이었다. 콘택트렌즈를 구입할 때 피팅 상태의 확인을 받지 않은 경우에는 피팅 상태의 확인을 받은 경우에 비해 건조함(오즈비 4.41, 95% 신뢰구간 1.25-15.62)과 착용감 불편(오즈비 2.68, 95% 신뢰구간 1.08-6.64)을 더 많이 경험하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 콘택트렌즈 착용자의 87.8%가 베이스커브라는 용어를 알지 못하고 있었으며, 콘택트렌즈 구매 시 92.9%가 베이스커브와 관련된 설명을 듣지 못한 것으로 나타났고, 96.9%가 베이스커브 검사를 받은 경험이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 결론: 소프트 콘택트렌즈 처방 시 피팅 상태의 확인을 통한 적절한 베이스커브의 변경을 통해 기존 소비자들의 콘택트렌즈의 착용 시 만족도를 향상시켜야 할 것으로 생각된다.
