This paper estimates the union effect on the wages using Korean Labor and Income Panel Study by using fixed-effect estimation. While the cross-sectional estimates show the size of 4.6% increase in the wages of workers in the union compared 10 the observationally identical workers in the non-union jobs, the union wage effect is estimated as 2.1% increase in the panel study. This shows that there exits an substantial upward-bias in the cross-sectional estimation of union wage effect.

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.

This research was conducted to analyze the effects of raising farm on the heritability and breeding values of Hanwoo cows for their carcass traits, including cold carcass weight (CWT), back-fat thickness (BFT), eye-muscle area (EMA) and marbling score (MAR). The carcass data and pedigree data were collected from steers raised on Hanwoo farms in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea. Three analytical models were applied for the estimation of heritabilities and breeding values. The first model (model 1) included slaughter house-year-month combination as fixed effects and age at slaughter was fitted as linear and quadratic covariates. The second model (model 2) was similar to model 1, but raising farm was additionally included as random effect. The third model (model 3) was similar to model 1 but farm effects were additionally included as fixed effect. The comparisons between the model 1 and the models including farm effect (model 2 and model 3) revealed that heritability estimates from model 2 or model 3 were smaller to those from model 1 for all carcass traits. Especially, obvious decrease of heritability was observed in CWT where heritability was 0.23 from model 1, 0.15 from model 2 and 0.18 from model 3. The maximum log likelihood of the model 2 and 3 were higher than those of model 1 for all traits. In model 2 that raising farm was included as a random effect, the ratio of farm variance to the total phenotypic variance were ranged from 4% (EMA) to 18% (CWT). Top 10% and bottom 10% of female cows were selected based on the breeding values from model 1, and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficients among models were estimated for each trait within selected group. The correlation coefficients were ranged from 0.57 to 0.95 in top 10% group and from 0.68 to 0.95 in bottom 10% group. These results show that the discrepancies in the rankings of breeding values can be based on the models applied. In conclusion, the results obtained in this study suggest that the herd effect or farm effect should be included in the analytical model when breeding values are estimated with the purpose of improvement of carcass traits of Hanwoo breeding cows.

본 연구에서는 환자의 골다공증 유무에 따른 내고정 장치 시술 직후 및 융합 후의 안정성을 평가하기 위해 다양한 하중 모드에서 C5-C6 운동분절의 생체역학적 거동을 분석하였다. 이러한 목적으로 먼저, C5-C6 경추부의 유한요소 모델을 구현하여 검증하였다. 모델의 결과는 기존 실험치와 유사하여 신뢰성이 부여되었다. 검증된 모델은 Smith-Robinson 방식으로 골이식물을 삽입한 후 전방 내고정 장치를 적용한 시술 상황을 재현하기 위해 수정되었다. 수정된 모델은 두 종류로 구현되었다. (1) 첫 번째 모델에서는, 시술 직후의 상황을 재현하기 위해 골이식물과 종판의 경계면에 접촉요소를 사용하였다. (2)두 번째 모델에서는 완전히 융합된 상황을 나타내기 위해 골이식물을 종판에 고정하였다. 골다공증의 효과를 예측하기 위하여 두 모델의 해면골에 대한 탄성계수를 변화시켰다(정상: 100MPa, 골다공증: 40MPa). 각 모델의 C5 주체의 상위면에 73.6N의 압축 하중을 가한 후에 108Nm의 굴곡/신전, 굽힘, 비틀림 하중을 가하였으며, C6 추체의 하단면은 모든 방향에 대하여 구속하였다. 전체적인 결과에 있어서 상대적 회전운동, 미끄럼운동, 골이식물 내에서의 von Mises 응력의 경우 정상 모델에 비해 골다공증 모델에서 증가함을 보였으며, 특히 시술 직후의 모델에서 비틀림 하중이 가해진 경우, 상대적 회전운동 및 미끄럼 운동이 가장 높게 예측되었다. 이는 골다공증환자에게 전방 내고정 장치를 시술한 경우 골이식물의 파단 및 유합의 실패가 비틀림 하중에서 발생할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 해면골의 von Mises 응력은 시술 직후에 골다공증 모델의 모든 하중 모드에서, 유합 후에는 굽힘 하중 외의 모든 하중에서 ultimate strength를 초과하는 것으로 나타나 골다공증 환자에게 screw의 해리가 발생할 가능성이 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 따라서 골다공증 환자에게 과도한 운동이 발생하지 않도록 하기 위해서 시술 후 세심한 주의와 halo 같은 견고한 정형술이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study examined the moonlighting behavior in Korea, to which relatively less attention has been paid. Based on the wage earners of 25 to 65 year old married, the results show that about 1.4% of the sample have dual jobs, working very long hours, on average 60 hours for a week combining both the primary job and the secondary job. The results of the fixed effects logit model on the moonlighting participation indicate that the wage rate and the hours of work in the primary job have a negative effect on moonlighting participation while the insecurity of the primary job appears to lead to a higher probability of taking a secondary job. The results of the moonlighting hours analysis suggest that hours worked in the primary job have a negative effect on moonlight hours while the wage of the primary job does not appear to have any significant effect on moonlighting hours. Interestingly enough, the wage of the secondary job appears to have a negative impact on moonlighting hours, which might be very plausible considering the long working hours moonlighters are engaged in.

동등한 영상의 풀질을 유지하면서 기존의 비디오 압축 표준보다 30퍼센트 이상의 비트 절감효과를 내는 H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC(Advanced Video Coding) 표준이 최근 확정되었다. AVC는 국내 지상파 DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 멀티미디어 서비스의 비디오 표준으로도 채택되어 많은 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC 부호기를 위한 고정 비트 율 제어 알고리듬을 구현하고 이를 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 비디오 부호화 과정에서 각 픽처마다 발생하는 비트 량이 같지는 않지만 부호기 출력 비트 율은 일정하게 한 수 있으며 이를 고정 비트 율 제어라 한다 부호기는 입력 영상의 복잡도를 예측하고 실제 버퍼 점유도에 대한 피프백 정보를 이용하여 발생 비트 수글 조절한다. 특히 전송 대역폭 제한사항이 있는 고정 비트 율 채널 환경에서 비디오 부호기의 고정 비트 율 제어는 반드시 필요하다. JVT에서 제공하는 참조 소프트웨어인 JM(Joint Model) 소프트웨어가 아직까지 고정 비트 율 제어 기능을 지원하지 않으므로, MPEG-2 Part 2 Video 표준과 MPEG-4 Part 2 Visual 표준에서 고정 비트 율 제어에 이용되었던 TM5 고정 비트 율 제어 모델을 적용하여 H.264/AVC 부호기의 고정 비트 율 제어를 구현하였다.

Statement of the problem: Under anatomical limitations on maxillary posterior region, a poor crown-to root ratio acting on dental implants can result in undesirable stress in surrounding bone, which in turn can cause bone defects and eventual failure of implants. Purpose: The purpose is to compare stress distribution due to different crown-root ratio and effect of splinting between natural teeth and implants in maxillary molar area under different loads. Material and methods: Analysis of stress arising supporting bone of the natural teeth and the implant was made with 3-dimensional finite element method. The model simulated naturel teeth was made with 2nd premolar and 1st molar in the maxillary molar region (Model T). The model simulated implants placed on same positions with two parallel implants of Straumann Dental Implant cemented abutment (Model I). Each model was designed in different crown-root ratio (0.7:1, 1:1, 1.25:1) and set cement type gold crown to make it non-splinted or splinted. After that, 300 N force was loaded to each model in five ways (Load 1: middle of occlusal table, Load 2: middle of buccal cusp, Load 3: middle of lingual cusp, Load 4: horizontal load to buccal cusp of anterior abutment only, Load 5: horizontal load to middle of buccal cusp of each abutment), and stress distribution was analyzed. Results and conclusion: On all occasions, stress was concentrated at the cervical region of the implant. Under load 1, 2 and 3, stress was not increased even when crown-root ratio increases, but under load 4 and 5, when crown-root ratio increases, stress also increased. There was difference in stress values between natural teeth and implants when crown-root ratio gradually increases; In case of natural teeth, splinting decreased stress under vertical and horizontal loads. In case of implants, splinting decreased stress under vertical loads 1,2 and 3, but increased maximal stress under loads 2 and 3. Under horizontal loads, splinting decreased stress, however the effect of splinting decreased under load 5 than load 4. Furthermore, the stress was increased, when crown-root ratio is 1.25:1. Clinical implications: This limited finite element study suggests that the stress on supporting bone may be increased under non-axial loads and poor crown-root ratio. Under poor crown-root ratio, excessive stress was generated at the cervical region of the implant, and decreased splinting effect for stress distribution, which can be related to clinical failure.

The turbulent flow in the rotor-stator mixer is based on shear characteristics generated by the interaction of the stator with the rotor rotating at high speed. In this study, the flow characteristics analysis of the unsteady state generated by the interaction of the rotor and the stator in the prototype model of the emulsion-fuel related mixer development was performed with the MRF and SMM by applying the ANSYS FLUENT $k-{\varepsilon}$ (RKE) turbulence model. The behavior and shear characteristics of the flow particles generated at the interface between the designed rotor and stator, and trends such as velocity distribution and turbulence eddy dissipation, were predicted and verified using the CFD analysis.

A smiling face usually has a positive effect on interpersonal relationships by delivering a warm impression. However, the stereotype content model and compensation effect between warmth and competence suggested that warmth perceptions caused by a smiling face could influence competence perceptions negatively. This study examined the negative impact of the advertising endorser's smile on purchase intention in an expensive product category by adopting the self-construal level. The study results showed that consumers with independent-self construal (vs. interdependent self-construal) showed a lower purchase intention when exposed to an ad containing an endorser's smile. In comparison, consumers with interdependent-self construal (vs. independent self-construal) showed a lower purchase intention when exposed to an ad without an endorser's smile. Thus, this study demonstrated a moderating role of self-construal in the relationship between advertising endorser's smile and purchase intention. These findings provide valuable theoretical and practical implications for effective advertising strategies in the expensive product category.

A method for improving prediction accuracy through processing time series data has been studied in this research. We have designed techniques to model multiple similar time series data and avoided the shortcomings of single prediction model. We predicted the future changes by effective rules derived from these models. The methods for testing prediction accuracy consists of three types: fixed interval, sliding, and cumulative method. Among the three, cumulative method produced the highest accuracy.
