A STUDY ON AN AR-BASED CIRCUIT PRACTICE

Recently, the number of AR-based practice cases has been increasing. In this paper, the effect of AR-based circuit practice was examined through an experiment with 60 subjects (control group: 30, experimental group: 30). The report score, completion time, question count, and USE questionnaire were used in the analysis. As a result of the experiment, the report score was significantly increased by 15.48% in the experimental group (△report: +18 points) than in the control group (△report: +7 points). Question count decreased twice as much in the experimental group (△question: -18 times) as in the control group (△question: -9 times). The completion time of the experimental group (△time: -16 min) was reduced by approximately 4 min more than that of the control group (△time: -12 min), however, the difference was not statistically significant. The USE questionnaire received evaluations of 6.0 or higher (on a 7-point scale) in all categories (usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, satisfaction). Therefore, From the experimental results, the proposed AR-based circuit practice is confirmed to be more effective than traditional circuit practice

Penetrating Interiority in Two Prison-Courts in Pamela

According to Ian Watt, eighteenth-century formal realism novels adopt a narrative technique that specifies both characters' individual experience and material surroundings such as time and space in order to represent the reality of human life (33). Richardson's Pamela, one of the well-known formal realism novels, imitates human life substantially, portraying in particular "what is privately experienced" by a realistic protagonist(Kearney 37). Richardson's elaborate description of Pamela's private experience enables readers to feel as if they read real private letters written by a real person, thereby promoting the authenticity of Pamela's story. Most important, Richardson's depiction reflects the fervent interest in privacy that the bourgeoisie in the eighteenth century ceaselessly discussed and craved for

Acceptance of a Socially Responsible Label Model for Apparel Products: Application of the Technology Acceptance Model

With a growing group of environmentally and socially conscious consumers, the range of socially responsible (SR) products available in the market has likewise expanded (Marquardt, 2010); currently over 300 different SR labels are being used (Case, 2009). Because such diverse labels exist, consumers have been struggling with identifying information on the label to make an informed, SR purchase decision (D’Souza, 2004; Horne, 2009). In particular, due to the complicated nature of SR practices in apparel products, consumers feel difficulties in identifying SR apparel products and practices in the marketplace (Chen & Burns, 2006; Goswami, 2008)

Who Read Socially Responsible Apparel Labels

Socially responsible (SR) labeling has been developed to encourage consumers to make SR purchases based on ecological attributes of products and additional SR information listed on labels (D’Souza, 2004). Previous research studied the efficacy of SR labels and revealed that SR labels influenced consumers’ purchasing decisions (Dickson, 2001; D’Souza et al., 2007). Despite the fact that SR issues in the apparel industry are significant considerations, practicing conscientious apparel consumption can be challenging for fashion consumers when surrounded by fast fashion and the desire for the latest fashion styles

Investigation of the Exraction Processes and Performance Properties of Kudzu Fibers

While kudzu was introduced into the Southeastern United states for soil erosion and increase of land fertility, the plant has become unmanageable and is rapidly spreading to Canada. Japanese traditional craftsmen extract long, white fibers by labor intensive practices not feasible for 21st century commercial fiber production. This research investigated extraction by boiling, retting or fermentation, enzymatic combinations, and mild chemical processes. Two types of fibers were resultant- soft fibers and compact woody fibers. These fibers types were assessed for microscopic visual appearance, elemental analysis using EDAX SEM, and tensile strengths for the four extraction processes. In all extraction cases, the resultant amount of woody kudzu fibers was 2-5 times that of soft fibers. Breaking elongation of both soft and woody fibers was very high as compared to that of cotton fibers. Chemical processes improved the strength of soft fibers to a very high degree, averaging 19.89kg/tex

Electrochemical performance of YST infiltrated and fe doped YST infiltrated YSZ anodes for IT-SOFC

Donor doped and donor-acceptor co-doped strontium titanate perovskite are investigated for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) anodes. Y0.08Sr0.88TiO3-delta and Y0.08Sr0.92Ti1-xFexO3-delta (x = 0.2, 0.4) anodes were prepared by infiltration in 65% porous yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) scaffolds. The microstructure and electrical conductivity of Y0.08Sr0.88TiO3-delta and Y0.08Sr0.92Ti1-xFexO3-delta strongly depends on Fe content. The conductivity of Y0.08Sr0.88TiO3-delta andY(0.08)Sr(0.92)Ti(1-x)Fe(x)O(3-delta); decreases with increasing Fe content in humidified H-2. Y0.08Sr0.88TiO3-delta, Y0.08Sr0.92Ti0.8Fe0.2O3-delta, and Y0.08Sr0.92Ti0.6Fe0.4O3-delta, anodes with a Pd/CeO2 catalyst show peak power density of 298, 421, and 321 mW cm(-2), respectively, in wet H-2 at 1073 K.open0

The Implementation of Lean Production and Environmental Sustainability Practices in the Indian Apparel Manufacturing Industry

In response to global environmental issues and stiffer business competition, the last few decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in the awareness of environmental impact and the usage of production management systems such as lean production. A focus on reducing adverse impact on the environment has promoted the use of sustainable business practices. Sustainability, which promotes harmonious coexistence of the human race and nature, allows for development without unintended negative consequences on the environment and natural resources (EPA, 2012)

The Impact of COVID-19 Regional Cash Subsidies on the Sales of Local Businesses in South Korea

This paper examines the impact of the regional cash subsidies which were granted in some districts in addition to the national universal stimulus payment in South Korea related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluate the effects of the cash distribution per resident on aggregate credit and debit card sales and sales by industry using the difference-in-difference method. The increment in card spending due to the cash subsidy is about 1.58%p in total, and this effect is concentrated within a single month. The consumption stimulating effect is prominent among (semi)-durable goods that do not require close interactions between customers and sellers. In contrast, the effect is relatively small in the high-contact face-to-face service sectors and restaurants, areas the COVID-19 pandemic hit directly. On the other hand, some service sectors where customers could wear face masks, such as education and fitness, experienced a substantial sales boost due to the cash subsidy
