Introduction

The recent surge in Korea in the entertainment industry has triggered tremendous interest from abroad (Marinescu, 2014). South Korea is coming up as a major exporter of popular culture, rivaling many Western countries like United States of America and Britain. Due to the growing acceptance and popularity of Korean pop culture as a valid form of entertainment, the government of South Korea has begun using this tool for soft power, as well as facilitating its entertainment sector. Hallyu is used to describe Korean drama, and it specifically refers to the dramas that have gained success in the Asian Overseas ...

Abstract

Studies in mechanics have evolved to be the most fundamental tool in the innovation of new materials and advanced technology. Specifically, studies in Continuum Mechanics, has been very influential in producing materials that exhibit various desirable characteristics at the expense of size and weight. Nanotubes are a perfect example of how this study has impacted the evolution in material technology. It has been used as the basis for the explanation of these complex materials as well as provisions for their behavioral effects during machining. The wide use of nanotubes in fragile fields like technical textile supplements, truly depict the stretchy ...

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

1.1 Overview
Quantum mechanics is a branch of Physics that deals with the behaviors of energy and matter in the smallest perspective such as the nuclear, atomic, and microscopic levels. Quantum, meaning “how much”, refers to the quantifiable units to energy and matter as observed and predicted through physics. This branch of studies stated with mathematical reasoning of certain experiments that are non-explainable through the classical mathematical methods. Physics revolutionized during the early 20th century (Coolman, 2014). Various models has been developed by scientists since them to help them in their experiments in studying particular behaviors of reaction mechanisms ...

Literature Review

Several methods exist that are used to identify and characterize fractures (Burnett, 2011). Seismic method is the most effective method of identifying aligned fracture sets. Aligned fracture sets render a rock seismically anisotropic; this implies that the velocities of seismic waves moving through the rock will depend on their direction of propagation (Verdon & Kendall, 2010). The way through which seismic anisotropy manifests itself includes azimuthal variation in reflection amplitudes (Hall & Kendall, 2000). Fromme (2011) investigated the scattering directivity of the A0 Lamb wave mode at through-thickness defects in aluminum plate from FE simulations (Zhou, Li, Mao, Mevel & Ou, 2013). There ...

INTRODUCTION

The evolution of motion sensors dates back to the evolution of man. It is said to have used by man to calculate the movement of stars to determine the best crop-growing season. Motion sensors gained their popularity during the World War II. The significant increase in demand for detection and monitoring during the World War II generated technological advancements in motion sensing. Radar, which was invented several decades earlier, was being fully developed during the war, to detect the motion of aircrafts. Although the development of radar systems was a great leap forward, it was limited only to military use. ...

Hallyu is the Korean Wave andit is referred to the increasing South Korean popularity and their culture. This began to happen during the '90s of the 20th century and is still a relevant issue. It was related to dramas and music on television in Asia, but the wave went global with the help of YouTube. Western societies became interested in the Korean culture and that is why it became so popular. Today, South Korea exports its culture and its influence can be compared to the influence of Western and American culture. Therefore, hallyu is used as a power of ...

Innovative Enterprise

Investment in innovation has always been thought of as an organizational process that aims at utilizing resources that are productive enough in order to create economic growth of an enterprise. According to Lazonick, investment in these productive resources usually establish a suitable foundation for economic growth (Lazonick, 2). Schumpeter, in his theory of Economic Development, noted that there is a purpose and need for every enterprise to invest in ‘superior’ productive resources that can create new set of goods using different processes of production (Schumpeter, 7). These, as he noted, must be investments geared towards innovation.
Enterprise innovation is indeed ...

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

Introduction

Matcha Green Tea which is also known as maccha is a fine powder of green tea.1 It’s origin is in Japan though it has come to be spread in most parts of the world, notably in Asia. It is gradually creeping into the rest of the world, including America.4 Though it is mainly used as a beverage; matcha is also used in various ways such as flavoring as well as dying of foods which include green tea ice cream, noodles, soba and mocha noodles.1 It is also widely used for the making of Japanese confectionary also known as the wagashi. ...

Introduction

Many a times parents do not realize that their attitudes towards their children is affecting them seriously, which results in impulsive and irrational behavior leading to dangerous consequences. The difference in adolescent behavior can be observed but without the knowledge of the reasons as to why such behaviors are escalating, both parents and teachers are unable to solve them. Hence it is important to study the reasons of such behaviors so that we understand how these individual differences affect children and be able to manage such erupting behavior problems.
Moreover, it is important to identify children and parents who ...

The American Dream lured wave after wave of immigration, primarily from Europe, in the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. This dream taught that if you came to America and worked hard enough, you would succeed. There was enough room, enough of a market, enough hope, and enough freedom for everyone who came to the United States to do well. This dream enticed so many people to come to the country from overseas that the government decided to put quotas in place to limit the number of immigrants from each country in the years before World ...
