Conventional cell characterization does not consider Multiple Input Switching(MIS). Since the impact of MIS on gate delay variation is large, it is not possible to predict the accurate gate delay with the conventional cell characterization. We observed the maximum 46% difference in gate delay due tn MIS. In this paper, we propose a gate delay model considering the delay variation caused by the temporal proximity of MIS. The proposed model calculates the delay variation using the Radial Basis Function. The experimental results show that the proposed method can more accurately predict the gate delay when MIS occurs.

Two studies were conducted to investigate the interactive effect between temporal proximity of utility value and self-efficacy on situational interest and reengagement motivation. In study 1, university students were provided with either proximal or distal values of mental calculation task. Hierarchical regression analyses showed a significant interaction effect between distal utility value and high self-efficacy, indicating that distal utility value was more effective to induce situational interest and reengagement motivation for students with higher level of self-efficacy. In study 2, we replicated study 1 with high school students to investigate developmental differences and found the same results. These findings suggest that it is important to consider the level of self-efficacy and proximity of utility value in designing value intervention program.

Purpose - This study aims to find ways to have CSR efforts lead to a purchase decision. For this purpose, this research examines the influence of the perceived CSR proximity on the purchase intention and studies the moderating role of psychological distance. Research design, data, and methodology - A total of 185 undergraduate students from a university in Korea were recruited and were randomly assigned to the conditions of a 2 (CSR proximity: close vs. far) × 2 (temporal distance: near vs. distant) × 2 (information type: concrete vs. abstract) between-subjects design. ANOVA was conducted to test the hypotheses. Results - When consumers construe a purchase decision at a high level via the far psychological distance, a firm's CSR efforts are considered important for the purchase decision. Conversely, when consumers construe a purchase decision at a low level via the near psychological distance, a firm's CSR efforts are not considered for the purchase decision. Conclusions - This research demonstrates that people have a greater intention to purchase products from a firm whose CSR proximity is perceived as being close rather than far. Furthermore, this study shows that the psychological distance moderates the effect of CSR proximity on the purchase intention.

Spatiotemporal data mining represents the confluence of several fields including spatiotemporal databases, machine loaming, statistics, geographic visualization, and information theory. Exploration of spatial data mining and temporal data mining has received much attention independently in knowledge discovery in databases and data mining research community. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm Max_MOP for discovering moving sequences in mobile environment. Max_MOP mines only maximal frequent moving patterns. We exploit the characteristic of the problem domain, which is the spatiotemporal proximity between activities, to partition the spatiotemporal space. The task of finding moving sequences is to consider all temporally ordered combination of associations, which requires an intensive computation. However, exploiting the spatiotemporal proximity characteristic makes this task more cornputationally feasible. Our proposed technique is applicable to location-based services such as traffic service, tourist service, and location-aware advertising service.

컴퓨터와 무선 통신 기술의 발달로 인하여 LBS(Location based Service)와 같은 새로운 이동체 관련 서비스가 생겨나고 있다. 이와 같은 서비스들은 이동체들이 일정 주기를 가지고 자신의 정보를 서버로 전송하는데 이는 많은 디스크 입출력을 요구하게 된다. 그러므로 이동체 데이터에 대하여 다중 디스크를 이용한 병렬 입출력이 요구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 디클러스터링 방법은 시간 도메인을 고려하지 않거나 공간 관련성만을 고려하여 디클러스터링을 하므로, 하나의 디스크에 특정 이동체의 궤적이 집중 되는 문제점이 있다. 이 문제점은 디스크의 병목현상으로 인한 느린 응답시간과 낮은 처리율의 결과를 발생시킨다. 그러므로 이동 객체의 빠른 질의 처리를 위한 새로운 디클러스터링 기법이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 다중 디스크 기반의 시스템에서 이동 객체에 대한 영역질의시 빠른 응답시간과 높은 처리율물 얻기 위하여 새로운 디클러스터링 기법을 제시한다. 이동체 데이터의 궤적 MBB중 공간 좌표로부터 Predefined Disk를 생성하고 PDT-Proximity를 이용하여 시간 도메인을 고려하는 방법이다. 위와 같이 이동 객체의 특성을 고려한 새로운 디클러스터링 방법으로 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Participants in real-time online sessions, be it (business) meetings, virtual school lessons, or social live streams, all engage in cyber social interactions. Unlike parasocial interactions, cyber social interactions are characterized by reciprocity and temporal proximity. In contrast to social interactions, they lack spatial proximity and bodily contact. This is a fairly new concept in information science that rose from technological advances and unprecedented circumstances (e.g., the rise of digital economy and knowledge workers being able to work remotely or, more recently, global lockdowns and contact restrictions). As a result, the past ways of working and socializing were transformed by making them, in some cases predominantly, virtual. Regarding the example of social live streaming we exhibit the importance of cyber social interactions for information behavior research. This conceptual article is a plea for information science to engage more in human-human online relations and interactions.

Bony ankylosis is an intraarticular condition where there is fusion of the bony surfaces of the joint : The condyle and the glenoid fossa. It occurs in both children and adults, unfortunately more frequently in the former, in whom early recognition and correction is particularly critical. Trauma is well proven to be the predominant cause of TMJ ankylosis. Infection, rheumatoid arthritis and neoplasm are another, significant cases of TMJ ankylosis. The necessity for using an interpositional material to prevent TMJ reankylosis has been widely discussed and many interpositional materials have been used, including temporal muscle and fascia, dermis, auricular cartilage, fascia lata, fat, Lyo-dura, Silastic and various metals. The temporal muscle and fascia have been widely used pedicled flap for head and neck reconstruction. The use of a temporal muscle and fascia for reconstruction of the TMJ, particularly in cases of ankylosis is a very reasonable option. Its principle advantages are its autogenous nature, resilience, and proximity to the joint, allowing for a pedicled transfer of vascularized tissue into the joint area. However, the viability of temporal muscle and fascia is a critical question. We treated 2 cases of TMJ ankylosis with temporal muscle and fascia transfer and one case with temporal fascia. We obtained satisfactory results as to functional aspects.

This paper proposes the recursive algorithm for passive proximity detection system based on signal strength. The system is designed to be used in the smart medicine chest in order to provide location-based service for the senior personnel. Due to the system profile, single receiver and uni-direction communication are applied over the signal attenuation model for the determination of user existence within certain proximity. The performance of conventional methods is subjective to the sight between the transmitter and receiver unless the direction of target is known. To appreciate the temporal and spatial locality of human subjects, the authors present exponential moving average (EMA) to compensate the unexpected position error from the direction and/or environment. By using optimal parameter, the experiments with EMA algorithm demonstrates 32.26% (maximum 40.80%) reduction in average of the error probability with 50% of consecutive sight in time.

The goal-gradient hypothesis states that the tendency to approach a goal increases with the increasing proximity of the goal (Hull 1932). It was initially supported with an evidence of animal experiments and since then, several papers have investigated the goal-gradient hypothesis in humans. Although there are some evidences related to the goal-gradient hypothesis in human behaviors, none of previous studies can properly explain its underlying mechanism, and what's more, they were not able to suggest useful managerial applications in human behaviors. From these perspectives, this work points out that there are some theoretical weaknesses to apply the goal-gradient hypothesis into the complicated human decision-making behaviors and proposes an alternative theoretical mechanismthat underlies the goal-gradient hypothesis in human. Finally, it offers insights into managerial implications of the goal-gradient hypothesis in the marketing field. This study focuses on the changes in motivations for achieving goals, in terms of how approaches to goals vary according to temporal distance from those goals. Specifically, the temporal construal theory (Liberman and Trope 1998) is considered as the underlying mechanism of the goal-gradient in that the temporal construal theory argues how the temporal distance from a goal makes people change their associated values regarding to that goal. According to the temporal construal theory, the value of distant future outcomes (near future outcomes) is construed on the basis of abstract and central features (concrete and peripheral features), and it argues that distant future situations are construed on a higher level than near future situations. This means that the value associated with the high-level construal is enhanced over delay, whereas the value associated with the low-level construal is discounted over delay. Our propositions suggest that the goal-gradient behavior in human can be motivated by the different aspects or characteristics of the goal as time changes based on the temporal construal theory. Thus, the following propositions are proposed. P 1-1: If the goal is far away, consumers put more value on the central features that are more associated with the desirability of the goal. P 1-2: If the goal is far away, consumers put more effort into accomplishing the goal that has more central features, regardless of its peripheral features. P 2-1: If a goal is near, consumers put more value on the peripheral features that are more associated with the feasibility of the goal. P 2-2: If a goal is near, consumers put more effort into accomplishing the goal that has more peripheral features, regardless of its central features. We hope to provide sufficient managerial implications for the companies as our research aims to show how consumers react differently as they progress toward the goal. Proposed propositions may provide guidance for companies developing a loyalty program, enabling them to understand what kinds of benefits or services they should provide or emphasize to consumers in loyalty programs on the basis of the time-dependent changes in outcome values (such as gifts, reward coupons). The effects of temporal distance from a goal should inform companies' marketing activities and help themto determine where emphasis should be placed in designing the benefits of their loyalty program.

One of the most challenging and encouraging applications of state-of-the-art technology is the field of traffic control systems. It combines techniques from the areas of telecommunications and computer science to establish traffic information and various assistance services. The support of the system requires a moving objects database system (MODB) that stores moving objects efficiently and performs spatial or temporal queries with time conditions. In this paper, we propose schemes to distribute an index nodes of trajectory based on spatio-temporal proximity and the characteristics of moving objects. The scheme predicts the extendible MBB of nodes of index through the prediction of moving object, and creates a parallel trajectory index. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed schemes give us the performance improvement by 15%. This result makes an improvement of performance by 50% per one disk.
