New information technology is a core factor enabling innovation in knowledge management (KM). The purpose of this study is to analyze the limitations of current KM systems and to propose an approach for applying the Semantic Web to KM. We analyzed the factors that affect KM system user dissatisfaction through a survey. We found that inconvenience, search and integration were statistically signi...

while the application of optical and photonic technologies in the communications, computing, medicine and industrial manufacturing has been growing rapidly, the miniaturization of these technologies has been slow due to the limitation on the diffraction. however, the developments of nanoscale components and guiding methods are continuing with a rapid pace. since waveguiding is a fundamental iss...

Insect herbivores play a pivotal role in regulating plant production and community composition, and their role in terrestrial ecosystems is partly determined by their feeding behavior and performance among plants of differing nutritional quality. Historically, nitrogen (N) has been considered the primary limiting nutrient of herbivorous insects, but N is only one of many potential nutrients imp...

In this exploratory study, we compared current and former pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans on a number of variables including the motivations for their food choices. Participants were recruited via online message boards as well as through snowball sampling. Of the 247 participants, 196 were currently limiting animal products and 51 were former animal product limiters. Current limiters were ...

Various types of Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) have been proposed and proven to offer numerous advantages with respect to transmission losses, voltage quality, and power system stability. However, FCL research has largely focused on only the FCL system, including optimization of components, efficiency improvement, and cost reduction. Conventional solutions to fault current problems, such as spl...
