Research on the Attractive Factors and Design of Cultural Derivative Commodities Under Cultural Sustainability

Abstract: “Cultural commodity” refers to playing a positive role in the background of cultural sustainability. Nevertheless, cultural commodities have significantly different characteristics from general commodities. It faces multiple challenges regarding design and development. This study attempts to extract attractive factors from cultural commodities that people highly appreciate and analyze their correlations with design attributes. The research design integrates qualitative and quantitative methods. Firstly, derivative commodities of cultural relics that represent the National Palace Museum of China were chosen as research objects. Secondly, attractive factors and commodity attribute features were extracted through the evaluation grid method (EGM) in Miryoku Engineering. Finally, correlations between the “attractive factors” and “design attributes” were analyzed through the “Quantitative Theory I.” This study concluded an “evaluation grid diagram of cultural commodity” and the “design rule” of cultural commodities.

A Study for Visual Realism of Designed Pictures on Computer Screens by Investigation and Brain-Wave Analyses.

Abstract: In this article, the visual realism of designed pictures on computer screens is studied by investigation and brain-wave analyses. The practical electroencephalogram (EEG) measurement is always time-varying and fluctuating so that conventional statistical techniques are not adequate for analyses. This study proposes a new scheme based on “fingerprinting” to analyze the EEG. Fingerprinting is a technique of probabilistic pattern recognition used in electrical engineering, very like the identification of human fingerprinting in a criminal investigation. The goal of this study was to assess whether subjective preference for pictures could be manifested physiologically by EEG fingerprinting analyses. The most important advantage of the fingerprinting technique is that it does not require accurate measurement. Instead, it uses probabilistic classification. Participants’ preference for pictures can be assessed using fingerprinting analyses of physiological EEG measurements.

Improved Taylor-Series Expansion for MS Location Estimation

Abstract: The objective of wireless location is to determine the mobile station (MS) location in a wireless cellular communications system Due to the measurement with large errors, location schemes give poorer performance in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments To determine MS location, Taylor-series algorithm (TSA) is commonly used scheme TSA can give a least-square (LS) solution to a set of simultaneous linearized equations The disadvantage of TSA is the need for an initial position guess to start the solution process The iteration process may not converge due to a poor initial estimate of the MS location To improve the location accuracy with less complexity, the initial MS location selection criterion is proposed Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed criterion always provides more accurate positioning

An Investigation on the Relationship Among Employees’ Job Stress, Satisfaction and Performance

Abstract: With rapid economic development, enterprises start to much concern about employees’ stress while working. The higher the job stress, the lower the job performances. The present research investigated the relationship among job stress, satisfaction, and performance by examining the employees’ attitudes through collecting data from the industries of medical care, plastic spare parts, and automobile spare parts. The results indicated that employees’ performance in working places was somehow related to their work stress and the extent of job satisfaction. Based on the results, suggestions were provided for managers for better employees’ management.

Methodology for Predicting Water Content in Supercritical Gas Vapor and Gas Solubility in Aqueous Phase for Natural Gas Process

Abstract: A methodology is proposed to accurately predict the water content in the supercritical gas vapor from the cubic equation of state (CEoS) without the need to calculate the liquid fugacity for the supercritical gas. The van der Waals (vdW) one-fluid mixing rule and our latest development of the advanced CEoS/AE mixing rule are incorporated in Twu−Sim−Tassone (TST) CEoS to investigate their ability in representing simultaneously both the water content in the gas vapor and the gas solubility in the aqueous phase over the application range of temperature and pressure encountered in the natural gas industry.
