The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine whether there are significant relations among rankings of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation. For this purpose, the study uses the KWAH-4 method developed by the Web Accessibility Laboratory in Korea, website evaluation method developed by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), and the cross-efficiency model for 13 Asian container seaports including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese main ports in 3 years (2009, 2010, and 2013) using data for two cases: three inputs (depth, total area, and number of crane) and one output (TEU) in the first case and three inputs and two outputs (TEU and BDC overall score) in the second case. The main empirical results are as follows. First, the ranking orders of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation overall scores are not significantly correlated with each other. Second, if the BDC overall score is included in the output element, the correlation results are improved. However, the correlation coefficient is still low. The container port policy planners should introduce and consider the web accessibility and website evaluation scores when evaluating an efficiency-increasing plan for Korea's main container ports.

Drug Development is very important for promoting public health and pharmaceutical industry. There has been many studies on the efficiency of drug development, but there are few studies on the drug development R&D performed by government. Since CCR model assumes unidirectional influence of input and output, it is not appropriate to analyze the efficiency of R&D due to the time-lag and spill-over effect. Also, BBC model which assumes variable returns to scale has difficulty in deriving priorities between decision making units. Recently, Range Adjusted Measure (RAM) model has been suggested in R&D efficiency analysis. RAM model measures the efficincy by eliminating inefficiencies under variable returns to scale assumption, and its strong monotonicity enables to provide clear priorities between decision making units. In this study, we analyzed the efficiency of national R&D programs for drug development using the two-step approach, including RAM model and Tobit regression analysis, and discussed major policy implications.

Since the usual conventional edge detectors employ the local differential derivatives, the detected edges are not uniform in their widths or some edges are missed out of the detection on magnified images. We employ a mapping from the exactly monotonic intensity distributions of ramp edges to the simple step functions of intensity, which is referred to as perfect sharpening map of ramp edges. This map is based on the non-local feature of intensity distribution and used to introduce a modified differentiation, in terms of which we can construct an efficient edge detector adaptive to the variation of edge width. By adopting the operator MADD in this paper, we developed an edge detector that works stably against the magnification of image or the variation of edge width. It is shown by comparing to the conventional algorithms that the proposed one is very excellent.

Dynamic voltage scaling(DVS), which adjusts the clock speed and supply voltage dynamically, is an effective technique in reducing the energy consumption of embedded real-time systems. The energy efficiency of a DVS algorithm largely depends on the performance of the slack estimation method used in it. In this paper, we propose novel DVS algorithms for periodic hard real-time tasks based on an improved slack estimation algorithm. Unlike the existing techniques, the proposed method can be applied to most priority-driven scheduling policies. Especially, we apply the proposed slack estimation method to EDF and RM scheduling policies. The experimental results show that the DVS algorithms using the proposed slack estimation method reduce the energy consumption by 20∼40 % over the existing DVS algorithms.

In this paper, two white light emitting diodes(LEDs) were manufactured by using two kinds of yellow phosphor, YAG:Ce and $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO_4:Eu$, and their spectroscopic properties were compared and analyzed. We found that the asymmetric double sigmoidal function can be applied to both white LEDs to obtain the center wavelength, the half width, and the skewness parameters. According to this analysis, the half width of the emitting spectrum of silicate phosphor was smaller than that of YAG phosphor, indicating smaller color rendering index. However, the silicate phosphor exhibited better color stability depending on the driving current than the YAG phosphor. The current dependence of the luminous efficacy of both white LEDs was investigated, which showed that efficacy decreased monotonically with current. The efficacy of the silicate-based white LED was lower than that of the YAG-based LED by about 10~12 lm/W.

This paper deals with the subsequence searching problem under time-warping in sequence databases. Our work is motivated by the observation that subsequence searches slow down quadratically as the average length of data sequences increases. To resolve this problem, the Segment-Based Approach for Subsequence Searches (SBSS) is proposed. The SBASS divides data and query sequences into a series of segments, and retrieves all data subsequences that satisfy the two conditions: (1) the number of segments is the same as the number of segments in a query sequence, and (2) the distance of every segment pair is less than or equal to a tolerance. Our segmentation scheme allows segments to have different lengths; thus we employ the time warping distance as a similarity measure for each segment pair. For efficient retrieval of similar subsequences, we extract feature vectors from all data segments exploiting their monotonically changing properties, and build a spatial index using feature vectors. Using this index, queries are processed with the four steps: (1) R-tree filtering, (2) feature filtering, (3) successor filtering, and (4) post-processing. The effectiveness of our approach is verified through extensive experiments.

Software reliability in the software development process is an important issue. Infinite failure NHPP software reliability models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, reliability software cost model considering logarithmic and exponential fault detection rate based on observations from the process of software product testing was studied. Adding new fault probability using the Goel-Okumoto model that is widely used in the field of reliability problems presented. When correcting or modifying the software, finite failure non-homogeneous Poisson process model. For analysis of software reliability model considering the time-dependent fault detection rate, the parameters estimation using maximum likelihood estimation of inter-failure time data was made. The logarithmic and exponential fault detection model is also efficient in terms of reliability because it (the coefficient of determination is 80% or more) in the field of the conventional model can be used as an alternative could be confirmed. From this paper, the software developers have to consider life distribution by prior knowledge of the software to identify failure modes which can be able to help.

제지 공정의 효율적인 운영을 위한 수단으로 보류 및 탈수성의 분석은 매우 중요한 작 업 이 다. 보류 및 탈수 특성 을 평 가하기 위 하여 SR(Shopper-Riegler), CSF(Canadian S Standard Freeness tester) 그리고 원형 수초지기 등의 비난류 상태의 자연탈수 특성 평가 장치와 동적 조건의 감압식 탈수성 분석기 등이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이것들은 제지 공정 에 보다 더 근접한 탈수 및 보류 특성을 평가하기에는 부족한 점이 있다. 특히 wet-end 첨 가제들의 효능을 보다 정확히 분석하는 것이 불가능하다. 이런 이유로 난류 발생과 감압 탈 수 둥을 유도한 탈수 특성 평가 장치 개발의 필요성이 커지고 있다. R RDA - HSF(Retention Drainage Analyzer- Handsheet Former)는 지료조성, 감압탈수 및 습지의 성형이 자동화되어 보류도와 탈수성, 종이지합 및 강도를 종합 평가 할 수 있는 새 로운 실험실용 초지기이다. 보다 현장에 가까운 초지 조건을 구현하기 위해서 지료의 농도 를 높이고 진공 탈수를 실시함에 따라 기존의 탈수성 분석기나 보류도 측정기의 단점을 보 완하게 되 었다. 본 연 구에 서 는 Canadian Standard Freeness test와 Dynamic Drainage Jar test 및 원 형 수초지기를 활용한 기존의 탈수성, 보류도 분석 결과와 RDA-HSF를 비교하여, 자연 탈수를 이용하는 기존의 탈수 및 보류 설비에 비해 현장 공정을 보다 현실적으로 재현할 수 있는 감압 탈수 초지 설비로서 RDA-HSF의 활용 가능성을 분석하였다. RDA-HSF를 활용한 실험실적 분석을 통해 현장의 상황올 유사하게 재현함에 따라 공정 운영 인자의 변화에 따른 제품의 품질 및 생산효율을 예측할 수 있게 된 바, 보다 효율적 인 공정 관리가 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 안료 입자의 경우 피인쇄체의 표면 공극을 채우고, 비히클의 경우 미세한 공극속으로 침투되어 경화됨으로써 피인쇄체가 지니고 있는 공극량을 감소시커 게 될 것이다. 그리고 피인쇄체의 각종 형태의 공극으로 침투된 잉크의 양에 반비례적으로 피인쇄체의 표변에 잉크가 잔류하게 될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여러가지 안료를 사용하여 각각 다른 공극 특성을 지니는 도공지를 제조한 후 이들이 가지는 공극 특성과 잉크의 잔류 거동에 대해 고찰해 보고자 하였다.여 표면 유효층 일부만 오버레이시키며I 주조 및 단조가 불가능한 재료까지도 표면부에 오버레이 시킴으로 서 부품 및 설비의 제조에 있어 재료비의 절감과 제품의 수명이 획기적으로 개선될 수 있다. 그리고 최근에는 도금 빛 용사 둥과 같은 표면처리를 할 경우임의 소재 표면에 도금 및 용 사에 용이한 재료를 오버레이용접시킨 후 표면처리를 함으로써 보다 고품질의 표면층을 얻기위한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 국내, 외의 오버레이 용접기술의 적용현황 및 대표적인 적용사례, 오버레이 용접기술 및 용접재료의 개발현황 둥을 중심으로 살펴봄으로서 아직 국내에서는 널리 알려지지 않은 본 기 술의 활용을 넓이고자 한다. within minimum time from beginning of the shutdown.및 12.36%, $101{\sim}200$일의 경우 12.78% 및 12.44%, 201일 이상의 경우 13.17% 및 11.30%로 201일 이상의 유기의 경우에만 대조구와 삭제 구간에 유의적인(p<0.05) 차이를 나타내었다.는 담수(淡水)에서 10%o의 해수(海水)로 이주된지 14일(日) 이후에 신장(腎臟)에서 수축된 것으로 나타났다. 30%o의 해수(海水)에 적응(適應)된 틸라피아의 평균 신사구체(腎絲球體)의 면적은 담수(淡水)에 적응된 개체의 면적보다 유의성있게 나타났다. 해수(海水)에 적응(適應

Motion estimation plays an important role for the compression of video signals. The proposed method utilizes an adaptive threshold and characteristics of a distribution of SAD (sum of absolute difference). Generally, the more complex the SAD distribution is, the larger SAD value tends to be. This proposed algorithm tries to reduce the search points in a simple distribution but increase them in a complex distribution to avoid local minima. A macro block is divided into 9 areas. One of them chosen using spatio-temporal correlation is called the primary area and the others are called the secondary area that will be searched to avoid local minima. The proposed algorithm decides if just one area (the primary area or the secondary area) will be enough to be searched or both areas should be searched, using adaptive threshold. Compared with famous motion estimation algorithms, the simulation result shows that the searching points per macro block and MSE decreases about 16.4% and 32.83 respectively on the average.
