Urban development and densification have led to the Urban Heat Island Effect, in which the temperature of urban space is higher than the surrounding areas, and the intensity is increasing with climate change. In addition, when the city's air temperature rises in summer, low-income, elderly population, and socially vulnerable people who have health problems lack the ability to cope with the elevated heat environment. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the urban heat island area of Seoul through Hotspot analysis, which is a spatial statistics technique, and explored physical environments, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of urban heat island effect areas using logistic regression models. This study performed urban heat island hotspot analysis using the average air temperatures of the 423 administrative dongs in Seoul. Analysis results identified that the urban heat islands were concentrated in Jung-gu, Jongno-gu, Yongsan-gu, and Yeongdeungpo-gu. Logistic regression analysis results indicated that urban heat island areas of Seoul were affected by residential floor area ratio, commercial facility floor area ratio, overall floor area ratio, impervious surface ratio, and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI). In addition, as a result of analyzing the vulnerable area of thermal environment considering the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the heat island area, urban heat island areas of Seoul were significantly associated with the proportion of low-income elderly living alone. The result of this study provided useful insights for urban thermal environmental design and policy development that could improve the thermal environment for the socially disadvantaged urban population.

교육인적자원부는 2007년 6월 26일 '고등교육의 전략적 발전방안'을 발표하고, 그 일환으로 2009학년도부터 '기회균등할당제'의 도입을 발표하였다. 기회균등할당제는 '사회적 통합을 촉진하는 대학입학제도'로서 소외계층 자녀들에게 사회적 신분상승을 위한 고등교육의 기회를 실질적으로 제공하여 '학력의 대물림', '가난의 대물림' 악순환을 해소하기 위한 것으로 미국 하버드대학을 비롯한 선진국에서는 이미 실시되고 있다. 그러나 사회적 소외계층을 배려하는 대학입시제도의 개선이라는 정책추진방향의 정당성에도 불구하고 대학현장, 특히 지방대학에서는 동 제도의 도입에 따른 부작용에 대한 우려의 목소리가 높다. 이에 따라 "대학교육"에서는 교육부에서 발표한 '기회균등할당제' 도입방안에 대한 지방사립대의 입장과 향후 정책추진시에 고려해야 할 점에 대하여 논의해 보고자 한다.

This paper describes a model suitable for real-time languages, which explicitly defines a set of resource objects. The resource objects are constituted in a specialization hierarchy which allows programmers to perform resource handling at any desired level of detail, as well as providing a uniform interface. This object-oriented model is used to extend the applicability of the imprecise computation approach to deal with shortfalls of any computational resource, and enable to build real-time systems which can handle dynamic situations.

본 연구에서는 속성중심 귀납법에서 사용하는 개념 계층의 상승 기법, 결정트리에 의한 귀납법에서 사용하는 정보 획득량의 측정 기법, 그리고 라프셋에 의한 지식감축 방법을 복합하여 저수준의 데이터를 고수준 정보로 일반화하고, 불필요한 속성들을 감축하여 간략화된 결정규칙을 도출하는 통합방법의 지식 발견 시스템을 시험적으로 구현했다. 여기서 추출한 최소화 결정 규칙은 대규모 데이터베이스에서 추출할수 있는 유용한 지식으로 의사결정에 사용하는 정보가 된다. 생성된 규칙지식은 각기 방법들보다 간결하다. 그리고 개념 일반화에 의해 유도된 지식이 고수준의 추상으로 표현된다.

본 논문은 전력수요와 내구재의 구매를 결정하는 과정을 모형화하고 소득효과를 추정해 보기 위한 것이다. 효용극대화 원리에 기초하여 개인의 의사결정과 관련된 동시성을 규명하고, 이를 논리적으로 설명할 수 있는 모형을 설정함으로써 전력소비와 관련된 보다 정밀한 정보를 얻을 수 있음을 보이고 있다. 소득효과를 추정하는데 있어서 소득이 소비에 주는 영향을 단기와 장기로 나누어 추정한다. 단기의 경우에는 내구재 보유수준이 정해져 있기 때문에 이용율만 상승한다. 그러나 어느 정도 시간이 지나면 효용을 극대화하기 위하여 내구재 보유수준을 높이고 이에 따라 소비수준이 더 늘어나게 된다는 가설을 미시자료(micro data)를 통해 실증적으로 분석한다. 소득효과는 계절별로, 그리고 소득계층별로 보이는 다양한 분포를 추정한다.

This paper attempts to find out the economic roots of the increasing tendency not to choose the science and engineering (S&E) fields in the colleges. The analysis shows that the relative economic position of the S&E graduates measured in terms of employment quality is not significantly different from that of the non-S&E graduates. But the S&E graduates earn relatively low wage and self-employment income. Furthermore, the relative income of the top 5% bracket of the S&E graduates has been declining in the recent five years. The paper concludes that low relative income of the average S&E graduates as well as the increasingly lower relative income of the most able S&E personnel, coupled with the increasing compensating differential required for the S&E jobs, is the main reason for the 'avoidance' phenomenon of the S&E fields.

It is very important to detect land cover/land use change from the past and to use it for future urban plan. This paper investigated the application of Landsat satellite imagery for detecting urban growth and assessing its impact on surface temperature in the region. Land cover/land use change detection was carried out by using 30m resolution Landsat satellite images and hierarchial approach was introduced to detect more detail change on the changing area through high resolution aerial photos. Also, surface temperature according to land cover/land use was calculated from Landsat TM thermal infrared data and compared with real temperature to analyze the relationship between urban expansion and surface temperature. As a result, the urban expansion has raised surface radiant temperature in the urbanized area. The method using remote sensing data based on GIS was found to be effective in monitoring and analysing urban growth and in evaluating urbanization impact on surface temperature.

This paper proposes a fast intra prediction algorithm for the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). HEVC has 35 modes, such as DC mode, Planar mode, and 33 angular modes for the intra-prediction. To reduce the complexity and to support fast decision for intra prediction, this paper proposes a hierarchical mode decision method (HMD). The proposed HMD mainly focuses on how to reduce the number of prediction modes. The experimental results show that the proposed HMD can reduce the encoding time about 39.17% with little BDBR loss. On average, the proposed HMD can achieve the encoding time saving e about 14.13 ~ 19.37% compared to that of the existing algorithms with slightly increasing 0.01 ~ 0.42% BDBR.

The competition between ship management companies is fierce as a result of global trend towards increased specialization. In order for ship management companies to remain competitive, it is necessary to understand the local and global factors and the changing circumstances that impact shipping markets and trade patterns. To better understand these factors, a study and analysis of drawing priority of the competitiveness-evaluation factors of ship management companies was conducted using Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) as a method dealing with dicision-making problem. As a consequence of this analysis, it was determined that human resources, both shipboard and land management, were a primary factor in ship management company's competitiveness. Thus, the acquisition and retention of capable staff was a key aspect of assuring a ship management company's competitiveness.

Southern Louisiana has one of the largest Vitnamese refrgee neighborhoods after the mid-1970s. It is impressive that one of their adaptive strategies comes from their religious lives which are centered on either Catholicism or Buddhism. The Buddhism community, especially, exhibits an exotic symbolic system of value and attitude, and thus contributes to cultural diversity in the adopted country. The landscape of the Buddhist temple is a visible symbol to them that the host socirty accepts their maintenance of their own cultural identity and that they are also an integral part of American society. Their making-place and being-in-place procedures, although their culture is being transformed in the original shape, put an emphasis on interaction with the host xociety. These procedures have been facilitated by consolidating their identity as a minority group as well as by interacting with the host society. The on-going influx of foreign immigrant groups seems not to drive them to assimilate into the melting-pot society, but to contribute to contribute to the increase in the cultural diversity of the United States.
