Effects of near-fault loading and lateral bracing on the behavior of RBS moment connections
Qi-Song “Kent” Yu,Chia-Ming Uang 국제구조공학회 2001 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.1 No.1
An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of loading sequence and lateral bracing on the behavior of reduced beam section (RBS) steel moment frame connections. Four full-scale moment connections were cyclically tested-two with a standard loading history and the other two with a near-fault loading history. All specimens reached at least 0.03 radian of plastic rotation without brittle fracture of the beam flange groove welds. Two specimens tested with the nearfault loading protocol reached at least 0.05 radian of plastic rotation, and both experienced smaller buckling amplitudes at comparable drift levels. Energy dissipation capacities were insensitive to the types of loading protocol used. Adding a lateral bracing near the RBS region produced a higher plastic rotation; the strength degradation and buckling amplitude were reduced. A non-linear finite element analysis of a one-and-a-half-bay beam-column subassembly was also conducted to study the system restraint effect. The study showed that the axial restraint of the beam could significantly reduce the strength degradation and buckling amplitude at higher deformation levels.
Why linguists like the colloquial marker ‘like’
Kent Lee 한국언어과학회 2020 한국언어과학회 학술대회 Vol.2020 No.10
The colloquial discourse particle ‘like’ has attracted some attention in the pragmatics and semantics literature. This particle is of interest to linguists because of its varied usage and properties. Past analyses have treated it as a hedge, approximator, and focus particle. Good empirical evidence and analysis exists for its hedging functions, but the proposals related to focus have not been so well developed. If it indeed has focus marking properties, it is not clear what kind of focus is involved, or how that can be reconciled with its hedging functions. For this presentation, two small sets of conversational data are examined, showing that it shows both hedging and focusing functions. This talk will sketch out a possible hypothesis that could explain its focusing functions, and how that might be reconcilable with its hedging functions. Such a hypothesis indicates that it has interesting pragmatic properties that deserve further research.
Analysis of a Korea-based Language Teacher Organization Public Social Networking Service
Kent, David The Korea Contents Association 2016 International Journal of Contents Vol.12 No.2
In recent years, studies have emerged highlighting the role of social networking services in the English as a foreign language context of Korea, particularly for teaching and learning, but none examine the role of Facebook in enhancing communities of practice. Therefore, this study undertakes such an endeavor on a Korea-based language teacher organization Facebook group. Social networking analysis came to reveal a group consisting of largely non-engaged members, with several key users successfully bridging the network and promoting engagement and interaction via commenting. Although the most viral posts were disproportionately organizational, professional development clearly emerges as the largest concern for active members. Ultimately, it will be critical for increasing success of the group as a social networking service to establish a means of further engaging all members, including those on the network periphery. To fully meet organizational goals, it will be imperative for key actors to be used increasingly proactively.
Regionalism, Alliance, and Domestic Politics: The Benelux Model and Northeast Asian Cooperation
Kent E. Calder 통일연구원 2006 International journal of korean unification studie Vol.15 No.1
Most of the literature in International Relations stresses the central role of large states in international affairs. Yet smaller states too can at times play a role more than commensurate with their economic and geo.political scale. This paper explores the potentially important role of smaller states in regional economic integration, explicating the historical role of Benelux in European integration, and extrapolating implications for Northeast Asia. Particular attention is given to the prospectively important role of Korea, and of what the Benelux precedent suggests about what that Korean role in Northeast Asian regional integration processes might prospectively be. The comparative analysis devotes special attention to the incentive structure of key sub.national interests, and to how their aggregation through democratic political processes in turn affects broader regional integration prospects.

Faculty Coaching and Faculty Needs in Korean Universities
Kent Alan Lee,Hikyoung Lee 범태평양 응용언어학회 2023 범태평양응용언어학회지 Vol.27 No.2
This study examines the various needs of new professors at a Korean university, focusing on professional development issues and English language challenges for those required to teach in English due to Englishmedium instruction (EMI) policies. Through a qualitative analysis of coaching reports, we explored the specific needs of professors in various academic fields, such as pedagogical methods, course management, and the demands of teaching and research. This investigation highlights the distinctive challenges faced by new professors due to EMI policies. These demands not only add another set of language related challenges, but may compound the other typical professional challenges of new professors. These results can inform those involved in university faculty coaching. The results also show limitations of typical coaching programs at Korean universities, difficulties with EMI policies, and a need for further professional development programs for professors, especially for those in EMI contexts.
