버퍼의 효율적인 관리는 시스템의 성능과 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 최근까지 다양한 버퍼 관리 기법들이 제안되었다. 그러나, 지금까지 알려진 기법들의 대부분은 시간 근접성만을 고려하고 있다. 그러나, 공간 데이터베이스와 같은 환경에서는 시간 근접성뿐 만 아니라, 유사한 위치에 있는 공간 객체들은 서로 같이 접근 될 가능성이 높다는 공간 근접성도 존재한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 공간 데이터베이스 환경에서 시간 근접성과 공간 근접성 같이 효과적으로 고려하는 버퍼 관리 기법을 제안하다. 또한, 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 효율성을 보인다.

Since tags do not have location informations, the identifiers of tags which are symbolic data are used as the location informations. Therefore, it is difficult to define the proxmity between two trajectories of tags and inefficient to process the user queries for tags. In this paper, we define the perceptual space to model the location of a tag and propose the proximity of the perceptual spaces. The proximity of the perceptual spaces is composed of the static proximity and dynamic proximity. Using the proximity of the perceptual spaces, it is possible to measure the proximity between two trajectories of tags and build the efficient indexes for tag trajectories. We evaluated the performance of the proposed proximity function for tag trajectories on the IR-tree and the $R^*$-tree.

This paper investigates the properties and relative importance of Apparel Textile industry of Busan in terms of both the number of employees and the value-added, and then analyzes the relative technical efficiencies from the perspectives of space closeness such as consumption market, suppliers, living standards and clustering environments using the DEA model. The main outcomes are as follows. The Apparel Textile industry is still a key industry in Busan with relatively high intensity and high LQ (greater than one) in spite of the recent decrease between 2000 and 2005 both in the number of employees and the value-added. Those firms with consumption market showed higher efficiency in all kinds of efficiencies than the firms without the market, and further relatively higher efficiency than the firms with suppliers. In addition, the firms located in the higher living standards also showed higher values of efficiency compared with the firms in lower living standards. The policy implication from the results is that the strategic and selective investment should be made according to the relative efficiency and thus the traditional industry should be transformed to the high value added one with additional investment to utilize the scale efficiency.

Efficient buffer management is closely related to system performance. Thus, much research has been performed on various buffer management techniques. However, many of the proposed techniques utilize the temporal locality of access patterns. In spatial database environments, there exists not only the temporal locality but also spatial locality, where the objects in the recently accessed regions will be accessed again in the near future. Thus, in this paper, we present a buffer management technique, called BEAT, which utilizes both the temporal locality and spatial locality in spatial database environments. The experimental results with real-life and synthetic data demonstrate the efficiency of BEAT.

데이터베이스 관리시스템에서 데이터를 디스크에서 읽어오는 작업은 많은 비용을 필요로 한다. 따라서 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 I/O의 횟수를 최소화는 것이 가장 중요한 문제이다. 특히 공간데이터베이스 환경에서는 클라이언트 버퍼의 크기가 데이터베이스의 크기에 비해 매우 작기 때문에 버퍼를 효율적으로 사용하여 I/O 회수를 줄이는 문제는 더욱 중요하게 고려하여야 한다. 지금까지 디스크 I/O 횟수를 줄이기 위해서 많은 버퍼관리 기법들이 제안되었지만, 그 기법들은 시간적 근접성만을 고려해왔기 때문에 공간적 근접성도 존재하는 공간데이터베이스 환경에서는 최적의 성능을 보여주지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 공간 데이터베이스의 시간적 근접성과 공간적 근접성을 동시에 고려하는 새로운 버퍼관리기법인 SLM-tree Buffer Management Strategy를 제안한다. 제안한 버퍼관리기법은 공간 데이터베이스 환경에서 디스크 I/O의 횟수를 현저하게 줄임으로서 기존의 방법들에 비해 월등한 성능을 보여준다.

This study delves into a question as to how the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is internalized across corporations. CSR internalization refers to the process where a corporation incorporates CSR practices into its business practices. Drawn from the institutionalization process of knowledge adoption under environmental pressure, we pay attention to the roles of proximity, defined as the distance between environmental characteristics and organizational characteristics of corporations. And we argue that the extent to which a given firm is situated in the environment knowledgeable will make the firm likely to adopt CSR practices. To test this idea, we figure out when and how corporations participate in the B-Corporation Movement in the U.S., through the lens of proximity. Specifically, we subdivide proximity into geographical proximity, organizational proximity, and overlapped proximity and examine whether proximity can increase the likelihood of adopting CSR practices. With a sample of 536 start-ups which had participated in the B-Corporation Movement between 2007 and 2017, we find that the three types of proximity consistently increase the likelihood of becoming a certified B-Corp. This suggests that a corporation is highly likely to accept the concept of CSR under external pressures, along with its intrinsic motivation, which provide theoretical and practical implications on CSR internalization.

The current study attempts to empirically identify a theoretical background that effectively explains Korean pop-culture consumption in the Asian Pacific region; particularly, in China. Specifically, this study investigates how globalism, proximity, and modernity, which have been suggested in literature as key theoretical backgrounds for the Korean wave, influence China's motivation to consume the Korean wave and its subsequent consumption of Korean TV programs (e.g., dramas, variety shows, etc.). The findings suggest that the motivation to consume the Korean wave is positively related to globalism and proximity. Modernity, however, is found to have a negative influence on the motivation to consume the Korean wave. That is, the more one holds international values, the more one perceives Korea as similar to China, and the more one holds traditional values, the more motivation one shows to consume the Korean wave. The study also finds that the motivation to consume the Korean wave has a significant impact on the consumption of Korean TV programs. In the revised model, the study suggests that proximity, followed by globalism, has the strongest positive relationship with motivation. Such a finding suggests that a proximity approach could serve as a better theoretical perspective to explain the phenomenon of the Korean wave in China. Regarding the relationships of the demographic/socio-economic variables and the motivation to consume the Korean wave, females, rather than males, the higher the family income one gains, and the lower education level one has had, the more motivation one will show to consume the Korean wave.

One of the major issues of DBMS is the buffer management. Because fetching data from the database disk is costly, the number of disk I/O's must be minimized in order to improve the DBMS performance. Although there have been many buffer management strategies to minimize the disk I/O, those strategies usually focused on just the temporal locality. Since there are the spatial locality as well as the temporal locality in the spatial database, strategies using only the temporal locality cannot achieve the optimal performance in the spatial database. In this paper, we propose a new buffer management strategy, the Spatial Locality Area Measure(SLAM) strategy, that considers not only the temporal locality but also the spatial locality. The SLAM buffer management strategy consists of two core structures, the SLM-tree and the M-LRU. We show the efficiency of the proposed strategy through experiments over various buffer sizes and reference frequencies.

The present study examined how processing features of visual information near the hand would affect task switching. Recent studies reported enhanced cognitive control of visual information presented the near hands. To investigate the enhancement of cognitive control based on the relationship between hand proximity and attention, we implemented 2 experiments. In the task switching performance experiment, the hand proximity effect depended on modality of cue and target. The first experiment showed that stimuli near the hand received greater cognitive control than stimuli far from the hand, resulting in smaller switch cost. The result could rule out the feature-binding problem, which identifies reduced switch cost as the cause instead of hand proximity. Our results show that hand proximity actually reduced switch cost. In the second experiment, we examined the effects of hand nearness, modality, and their interaction on switch cost. In task switching, the target was always visual, and the cue was presented either visually or auditorily. In addition, we manipulated the cue-target interval to observe the preparation effect of cue. The results showed that a visual cue near the hand reduced switch cost by shortening task preparation time. Also, modality switching between an auditory cue and visual target was remarkable in a hand-near condition. The results for the visual cue could be interpreted as a benefit of rapid visual attention orienting. On the other hand, the results for the auditory cue could be interpreted as the cost of interference of modality switching by slower attentional disengagement of stimuli near the hands. Finally, modulation of switch cost by attention induced by hand nearness was discussed.
