We propose a constant inversion black box model of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) for exact performance predictions for EDFAs operated in the gain-flattened condition. The validity of the newly proposed model was experimentally verified by predicting the performance of EDFAs for the L band, within 1.9% required pump power discrepancy. The role of ion pairing effects on the power conversion efficiency is also discussed. ussed.

우리나라는 하상계수가 큰 하천의 특성 때문에 콘크리트 구조의 고정보를 설치하여 하천수위를 유지하고, 취수용으로 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 고정보는 유수방해, 토사퇴적으로 인한 홍수위 상승 등의 다양한 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 이에 따라 4대강에는 다양한 형상과 운영방식이 적용된 가동보가 설치되었으며, 소하천과 중규모 하천 역시 하천기능의 복원을 위한 정비사업이 진행되고 있다. 하천관리의 목표는 하천의 이수, 치수 및 생태환경 기능의 종합적이며, 유기적인 관계를 조화롭게 유지하면서 각 기능을 극대화시키는 것이다. 우선, 토사의 퇴적을 사전에 예방하고, 퇴적된 토사는 유수에 따라 배출될 수 있도록 하단방류 형식으로 개선되어야 한다. 또한 홍수기에는 통수가 원활하도록 보의 기능을 해제할 수 있어야 하는 한편, 하류구간이 범람하지 않도록 상류구간에서의 완충기능을 가져야 한다. 이러한 요구조건을 충족하기 위해서 다단형태의 하단방류형 가동보 수문 시스템을 고려할 수 있다. 다단형태의 하단방류형 가동보 수문시스템은 경사 하천에 가동보에 의해 물을 저수하고, 저수된 물을 보 상류에서 유입되는 유입수량 만큼만을 수문 하단 개도부를 통하여 방류하도록 하여, 일정량이 항상 저류되면서 퇴적토사가 배출되도록 하여 수질을 개선하는 방식이다. 본 연구에서는 금강의 지류인 치성천 9Km 구간을 대상으로 HEC-RAS 4.1 모형을 적용하여 하단방류형 가동보를 하류부터 상류구간까지 다단형태로 설치하였을 경우, 하천의 저류와 분배기능 회복에 따른 홍수위 저감 효과를 고정보 설치의 경우와 비교 분석하였다. 홍수소통 능력을 검토하기 위해서 연구대상 구간을 200년 빈도의 확률홍수량 별로 10개 구간으로 나누어 검토한 결과, 고정보 설치의 경우에는 여유고 기준을 초과하는 부분이 나타났으나, 다단식 하단방류형 가동보를 설치하고, 수문개도를 조작하여 운영할 경우에는 여유고 기준을 초과하는 부분이 없어, 홍수위 저감 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것으로 나타났을 뿐만 아니라, 홍수기이후에도 하천유지용수 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 설치 및 유지관리의 비용측면과 용수확보 및 홍수피해 절감의 편익측면에서도 50년 운영주기의 비용편익성은 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 생태환경보전과 친수공간 확보측면의 편익성을 추가로 고려할 경우, 경제성은 충분히 확보될 것으로 판단되었다.

School absenteeism is considered one of the early predictors of school drop-out and serious delinquency or criminal behavior. The primary goal of the current study was to explore the protective and risk factors related to changing school absenteeism over time based on the ecological-systemic perspective. The data was derived from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) using the 2011 and 2012 survey waves collected from 2,378 elementary school students. Using this data, Panel Fixed Effects Analysis was conducted. Major findings indicated that daily computer usage, parental abuse, school activity attendance, and school grades had an effect on students missing school days over time. Specifically, high levels of computer usage and parental abuse were related to increased school absenteeism, while high levels of school activity attendance and school grades were associated with decreased school absenteeism. These findings emphasized the importance of predictive intervention for children and suggested the need to construct a school absenteeism monitoring system in South Korea.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of foreign direct investment on environmental performance for 27 OECD countries using endogenous environmental policy model. The empirical test shows that with 1% increase in the ratio of inflow stock of foreign direct investment over domestic capital stock, emission on NOx and $CO_2$ will increase by 0.0071%(NOx) and 0.0165%($CO_2$) and 1% increase in the ratio of foreign capital stock induces 0.044%(fixed effect) and 0.047%(random effect) of economic growth. 1% increase of per labor total output increases 2.038%(fixed effect) or 1.890%(random effect) in reinforcement of environmental regulation. However, we could not confirm the Porter's hypothesis that the more strong environmental regulation leads technical innovation. The scale effects (0.0119, 0.0172) are estimated higher than the technical effects (-0.0048, -0.0007) in two pollutants (NOx, $CO_2$). It implies that each country needs to increase pollution abatement and control expenditure more aggressively to protect environment.

Purpose: To develop a whole body frame for the purpose of reducing patient motion and minimizing setup error for extra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy, and to evaluate the repositioning setup error of a patient in the frame. Materials and Methods: The developed whole body frame is composed of a base plate, immobilizer, vacuum cushion, ruler and belts. The dimension of the base plate is 130 cm in length, 50 cm in width and 1 cm in thickness. The material used in the base plate of the frame was bakelite and the immobilizer was made of acetal. In addition, Radiopaque angio-catheter wires were engraved on the base plate for a coordinate system to determine the target localization. The measurement for radiation transmission and target localization is peformed in order to test the utilization of the frame. Also, a Matlab program analyzed the patients setup error by using the patient's setup images obtained from a CCTV camera and digital record recorder (DVR). Results: A frame that is useful for CT simulation and radiation treatment was fabricated. The frame structure was designed to minimize collisions from the changes in the rotation angle of the gantry and to maximize the transmission rate of the Incident radiation at the lateral or posterior oblique direction. The lightening belts may be used for the further reduction of the patient motion, and the belts can be adjusted so that they are not in the way of beam direction. The radiation transmission rates of this frame were measured as 95% and 96% at 10 and 21 MV, respectively. The position of a test target on the skin of a volunteer is accurately determined by CT simulation using the coordinate system in the frame. The estimated setup errors by Matlab program are shown 3.69$\pm$1.60, 2.14$\pm$0.78 mm at the lateral and central chest, and 7.11 $\pm$2.10, 6.54$\pm$2.22 mm at lateral and central abdomen, respectively. The setup error due to the lateral motion of breast is shown as 6.33$\pm$ 1.55 mm. Conclusion: The development and test of a whole body frame has proven very useful and practical in the radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers. It may be used in determining target localization, and it can be used as a patient immobilization tool. More experimental data should be obtained in order to improve and confirm the results of the patient setup error.

In this paper, we attempted to theorize the synergy effect between the value creating attributes for digital convergence model in the service industry. Our investigation is based upon contingency fit theory to understand the strategic fit for the two inherent value attributes of fixed and mobile value, as well as resolving fundamental limitations of service processes. Empirical validation of the derived research model is analyzed using hierarchical regression method. The results indicate that the relative advantage of each value creating attributes are strongly associated with the characteristics of domain service industries, and compatibility is critical to user adoption of convergent service model. Moreover, the less significant statistical impact of the synergy between mobile and fixed value attributes and others implies that each value attribute uniquely contributes to particular IT convergence model, which thereby offers critical insight that focusing the convergent value in conjunction with specific application domain is the most appealing managerial focus. The findings provide useful insight for the further research in IT based industry convergent business model areas.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of environments (farms born, testing groups, age at the tests, date at slaughter, ages at slaughter) on body weights at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of ages, body type measurements at 18 months of age and carcass characteristics in Hanwoo steer populations that were collected from commercial farms and reared in a progeny testing station. Performances of a total of 1,838 steer calves set for tests from 2004 to 2008 were recorded. Carcass characteristics were the carcass grading results evaluated and data collected slaughter scores at 24 months of age. For growth traits of all age classes and body type traits measured at 18 months of age, farms born, test group and linear covariate of age at test were fit in the models. For carcass traits, date at slaughter and linear covariate of ages at slaughter were fit in the models. Effect of farm at birth was not significant for body weight at 24 months of age. Carcass weight, eye muscle area, yield score and back fat thickness were affected by dates at slaughter but not by the ages at slaughter. Marbling score, however, was affected by these two effects. Farms at birth did not seem to affect body type measures greatly. This study will be utilized for Hanwoo Steers genetic evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the bestseller ranks on the book circulations in public libraries. To achieve this goal, the weekly data sets of 179 books' library circulation and bestseller list from January 1, 2018 to December 29, 2019 were constructed based on the data collected from BigData MarketC and YES24. Three methods for analyzing panel data including linear regression, fixed-effect, and random effect models were compared, and it turned out that fixed-effect model was better than other methods. The results show that the average ranks of bestsellers were associated with their public library circulations visually. Also, the analysis of fixed-effect model showed that the single rank decline of a book on the bestseller list decreases its average circulation of 0.108 while the size of effect varied depending on subject of books. The study empirically demonstrated the impact of a bestseller list on people's book circulation behavior, suggesting that public libraries need to reference sociocultural context as well as bestseller book lists to predict library user needs and to formulate collection development policy.

Most previous works to study for the depression of the disabilities in Korea have analyzed the repeated measured data of each individual under the mutually independent assumption. In this study, Korea Welfare Panel data of the disabilities surveyed additionally every three years are analyzed to detect the significant exploratory variables by the linear mixed models. A suitable correlation matrix is considered for the dependency of repeated measurement of each individual. The random effect to reflect the characteristics of the individuals as well as the fixed effect is included in the fitted linear mixed model. By the residual plot of the fixed effect model, the problem that the averages of residuals of each individual do not seem to be around zero is described. Further, the residual plot and the Q-Q plot coming from the selected final model are shown that the problem is modified well.

This study aims to examine the extent to which youth householder's assets influence life satisfaction and whether depression mediates the relationship between assets and life satisfaction among youth householders. Using the 7th~11th panel data from the KOWEPS, this study employed fixed-effect model and Sobel-test to test the mediating effects. Key findings are as follows: First, this study found positive impacts of youth householder's assets on life satisfaction. Second, the effects of assets on life satisfaction were found to be mediated by depression of youth householders. These findings suggest that asset-based policies targeting youth should be expanded in Korea. This study concludes with several policy implications for development of more inclusive asset-based policies for youth.
