한정된 네트워크 대역폭을 가진 현재의 인터넷에서 영상의 품질을 향상시키기 위해 영상의 비트율을 높이는 것은 비용 등 여러 가지 문제로 인해 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 비록 충분하지 못한 비트율의 영상을 전송받더라도 전송받은 영상의 화질을 높이는 연구가 다양한 방법으로 진행되고 있다. 영상의 화질을 향상시키는 많은 방법 중 후처리 기법은 이러한 잡음을 효과적으로 제거 할 수 있으면서 동영상 압축 표준 복호기를 수정할 필요가 없기 때문에 좋은 해결책이 된다. 동영상의 압축 과정에서 낮은 비트율로 인해 발생하는 화질 열화 현상 중에 쉽게 완화 할 수 있고, 영상의 질이 비용 대비 높은 효율로 좋아지는 대표적인 현상이 블록화 현상이다. 일반적으로 블록화 현상은 영상의 고주파대역에서 나타나므로 본 논문에서 영상의 고주파 성분과 블록화 현상을 구분하기 위해 Sobel 마스크를 사용한다. 구분된 블록화 현상이 발생한 매크로블록의 양쪽 경계면에 4-tap 저주파 통과 필터를 사용하여 블록화 현상을 효과적으로 완화할 수 있다. 개선된 영상의 화질 평가 기법으로 신호처리 분야에서 많이 사용되는 객관적인 지표인 PSNR에 의한 평가와 함께 실제 인간의 시각을 기준으로 주관적이고 감성적인 관찰에 의한 평가를 함께 수행한다.

Level of service(LOS) is a quantify measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally, in terms of such service measures as speed, travel time, freedom to measures, traffic interruptions, comfort and convenience. The LOS is leveled by highway facilities according to measure of effectiveness(MOE) and then used to evaluate performance capacity. The current evaluation of a urban road is performed by only a aspect of traffic operation without any concepts of safety. Therefore, this paper presents a method for evaluation of risk order for urban road with new MOE, user cost analysis, considering both smooth traffic operation(congestion) and traffic safety(accident). The user coat is included traffic accident cast by traffic safety and traffic congestion cost by traffic operation. First of all, a number of traffic accident and accident rate by highway geometric is inferred from urban road traffic accident prediction model (Poul Greibe(2001)) Secondly, a user cost is inferred as traffic accident cast and traffic congestion cost is putting together. Thirdly, a method for evaluation of a urban road is inferred by user cost analysis. Fourthly a accident rate by segment predict with traffic accidents and data related to the accidents in $1996{\sim}1998$ on 11 urban road segments, Gwang-Ju, predicted accident rate. Traffic accident cost predict using predicted accident rate, and, traffic congestion cost predict using predicted average traffic speed(KHCM). Fifthly, a risk order are presented by predicted user cost at each segment in urban roads. Finally, it si compared and evaluated that LOS of 11 urban road segments, Gwang-Ju, by only a aspect of traffic operation without any concepts of safety and risk order by a method for evaluation of urban road in this paper.

Recently, as economic property it has become necessary to acquire and utilize the framework for water resource measurement and performance management as the property of water resources changes to hold "public property". To date, the evaluation of water technology has been carried out by feasibility study analysis or technology assessment based on net present value (NPV) or benefit-to-cost (B/C) effect, however it is not yet systemized in terms of valuation models to objectively assess an economic value of technology-based business to receive diffusion and feedback of research outcomes. Therefore, K-water (known as a government-supported public company in Korea) company feels the necessity to establish a technology valuation framework suitable for technical characteristics of water resources fields in charge and verify an exemplified case applied to the technology. The K-water evaluation technology applied to this study, as a public interest goods, can be used as a tool to measure the value and achievement contributed to society and to manage them. Therefore, by calculating the value in which the subject technology contributed to the entire society as a public resource, we make use of it as a basis information for the advertising medium of performance on the influence effect of the benefits or the necessity of cost input, and then secure the legitimacy for large-scale R&D cost input in terms of the characteristics of public technology. Hence, K-water company, one of the public corporation in Korea which deals with public goods of 'water resources', will be able to establish a commercialization strategy for business operation and prepare for a basis for the performance calculation of input R&D cost. In this study, K-water has developed a web-based technology valuation model for public interest type water resources based on the technology evaluation system that is suitable for the characteristics of a technology in water resources fields. In particular, by utilizing the evaluation methodology of the Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan to match the expense items to the expense accounts based on the related benefit items, we proposed the so-called 'K-water's proprietary model' which involves the 'cost-benefit' approach and the FCF (Free Cash Flow), and ultimately led to build a pipeline on the K-water research performance management system and then verify the practical case of a technology related to "desalination". We analyze the embedded design logic and evaluation process of web-based valuation system that reflects characteristics of water resources technology, reference information and database(D/B)-associated logic for each model to calculate public interest-based and profit-based technology values in technology integrated management system. We review the hybrid evaluation module that reflects the quantitative index of the qualitative evaluation indices reflecting the unique characteristics of water resources and the visualized user-interface (UI) of the actual web-based evaluation, which both are appended for calculating the business value based on financial data to the existing web-based technology valuation systems in other fields. K-water's technology valuation model is evaluated by distinguishing between public-interest type and profitable-type water technology. First, evaluation modules in profit-type technology valuation model are designed based on 'profitability of technology'. For example, the technology inventory K-water holds has a number of profit-oriented technologies such as water treatment membranes. On the other hand, the public interest-type technology valuation is designed to evaluate the public-interest oriented technology such as the dam, which reflects the characteristics of public benefits and costs. In order to examine the appropriateness of the cost-benefit based public utility valuation model (i.e. K-water specific technology valuation model) presented in this study, we applied to practical cases from calculation of benefit-to-cost analysis on water resource technology with 20 years of lifetime. In future we will additionally conduct verifying the K-water public utility-based valuation model by each business model which reflects various business environmental characteristics.

물류에서는 재화 또는 정보의 흐름이 매우 중요하다. 그 동안 우리나라에서는 물류시스템을 물리적인 시설로 간주 시설의 공급에만 관심을 기울여 왔다. 그 결과 물류활동을 지원할 수 있을 만한 정보시스템의 구축이 충분히 이루어지지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 화물운송을 위주로 한 화물유통체계의 합리화 방안을 모색하기 위하여 교통부분과 밀접한 연계를 갖는 첨단화물운송체계의 도입효과를 논의하고 Life-Cycle Cost의 개념을 이용하여 첨단화물운송체계의 시스템 대안을 평가하였다. 분석결과 노변 통신시스템을 이용한 시스템의 구성이 중장기적으로 유리한 것으로 평가되었다. 이는 통신비의 부담이 시설의 유지보수비의 부담보다 크기 때문이다. 그러나 노변통신시스템시설은 표준화 등의 문제로 아직 적용에 문제점들이 많으며 낙뢰 등 비용산정에 포함되지 못한 유지보수의 추가비용이 발생할 소지가 크다. 그러므로 교통시설의 특징에 따라 두 접근방식을 혼용하는 방안이 검토되어야 한다.

Firms employ one of two stock repurchasing methods, either direct open market repurchase or indirect repurchase through trust contracts. Since these two methods have some regulatory differences, managers of firms may use a repurchasing method as a signal to convey the information to the market. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between stock repurchasing methods and implied cost of equity of firms. The results show that there is a significant and negative relationship between stock repurchase announcement and cost of equity. In addition, the implied cost of equity for firms employing direct open market repurchase is significantly lower than those of firms that use indirect repurchase method. Overall, the market accurately reflects the information conveyed by two stock repurchasing methods into cost of equity of firms.

In this paper, a new method for the bridge maintenance is proposed to overcome the limit of the existing methods and to implement the preventive bridge maintenance system. The proposed method can establish the lifetime optimum maintenance strategy of the deteriorating bridges considering the life-cycle performance as well as the life-cycle cost. The lifetime performance of the deteriorating bridges is evaluated by the safety index based on the structural reliability and the condition index detailing the condition state. The life-cycle cost is estimated by considering not only the direct maintenance cost but also the user and failure cost. The genetic algorithm is applied to generate a set of maintenance scenarios which is the multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem related to the life-cycle cost and performance. The study examined the proposed method by establishing a maintenance strategy for the existing bridge and its advantages. The result shows that the proposed method can be effectively applied to deciding the bridge maintenance strategy.
