This study conducted empirical tests on contemporary finance theories for corporate cash holdings, such as trade-off, pecking order, and agency theory. There is ongoing debate on the possibility of excess cash savings by domestic firms, including chaebols in the Korean capital markets. Thus, it may be worthy to identify any financial characteristics based on each aforementioned theory as an extension of previous studies on similar subjects. Two primary hypotheses were postulated and tested, and the following empirical results were obtained. First, principal component analysis (PCA) provides evidence that nine out of the twenty explanatory variables showed a significant influence on the level of corporate cash holdings, such as cash conversion cycle in trade-off theory and leverage in pecking order theory. Second, the chaebol firms that decreased cash holdings after global financial turmoil may be affected by financial factors that include investment opportunities and foreign ownership according to the PCA. The results may reinforce the outcomes derived from previous research on corporate cash holdings. Based on the robust results, large firms in advanced or emerging capital markets could approach the optimal level of the cash reserves.

Blast resistance of one hundred and thirty-one rice cultivars bred in Korea was tested with thirty Korean isolates and twenty-two Philippines isolates using three screening methods. In the blast nursery conducted in Korea and in the Philippines, average disease index of rice cultivars were 4.6 and 2.2, respectively. Seventy-nine cultivars showed different resistance reaction in Korea and in the Philippines, and 19 cultivars showed the same resistant reaction in two locations. In the seedling test, Korean blast isolates displayed different levels of virulence. 93-093, a Korean isolate, was compatible with 90 cultivars whereas 97-057 showed a compatible reaction with 13 cultivars. Twenty-three cultivars showed high level of resistance against Korean and Philippines isolates but Chucheongbyeo, Heugnambyeo, and Manmibyeo showed susceptible reaction to all blast isolates. Through the sequential planting test in Korea and in the Philippines, Palgongbyeo and Seomjinbyeo displayed durable resistance, and Nagdongbyeo and Gihobyeo showed high level of disease infection over the planting time. These results indicate that blast isolates collected in two countries have different genetic background and number of compatible isolates should be considered in definition the durability of rice cultivar to rice blast.

The actual convergence rate of Newton-Raphson iteration method at each step is studied under the regularity conditions for the limiting distribution: The convergence rate of it is accelerated with good starting values. Hence we can decide a number of iterations according to our purposes.

One of major goals of mathematics education is to cultivate human resources which equip creative problem-solving ability. Thus, the enhancement of creative and converging ideas has been emphasized in the national curriculum since the 2009 revised curriculum. In the current study, we analyzed authorized textbook series to examine how each curriculum material addresses the creativity convergence competency. The foci of the analysis were creativity (originality, fluency, flexibility, elaboration) and convergence (intrinsic connection, extrinsic connection). In addition, we analyzed the national textbook which was based on the 2015 revised curriculum to investigate the transition between the national textbook and the authorized textbooks. We found the tasks that focused on fluency were the most frequent type regarding creativity and the tasks that connected with everyday life situations (extrinsic connection) were prevalent across the three textbook series. We provided suggestions about the development of mathematics textbooks and their implementation.

Even though Likert type data is ordinal scale, many researchers who regard Likert type data as interval scale adapt as parametric methods. In this research, simulations have been used to find out a proper analysis of Likert type data. The locations and response distributions of five point Likert type data samples having diverse distribution have been evaluated. In estimating samples' locations, we considered parametric method and non-parametric method, which are t-test and Mann-Whitney test respectively. In addition, to test response distribution, we employed Chi-squared test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. In this study, we assessed the performance of the four aforementioned methods by comparing Type I error ratio and statistical power.

The non-parametric Mann-Kendall(MK) statistical test has been widely used to assess the significance of trend in hydrologic time series. The test requires sample data should be serially independent. If sample data is serially correlated, the presence of serial correlation in a time series will affect the test ability for trend analysis. So, we would like to use the modified MK test which uses the effective sample size(ESS) to eliminate the effect of serial correlation in a series. This study investigates the ability of ESS to eliminate the influence of serial correlation of MK test by Monte Carlo simulation and by real series. As the results, MK test shows the increase of trend rate as the serial correlation is increased but the modified MK test shows ESS can eliminate the serial correlation for trend analysis. Therefore we confirmed the modified MK test is a very useful tool for trend analysis.

The effects of adding hull powders of black soybean on quality characteristics of tobu were studied. Proximate composition of the black soybean hull powders was crude ash, crude protein, crude fat, and carbohydrate at 2.60, 11.35, 2.18, and 73.97%, respectively. The addition of 5% black soybean hull powder decreased the production of whey and consequently increased the yield of tobu. Texture properties of evaluation hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness were the best in tobu which was made with 5% black soybean hull powders. Sensory evaluation showed texture, firmness were not significantly different among tobu with yellow soybean, black soybean, and added to 0.5% black soybean hull powders. At the beginning of the period of storage, there were not differences of microbial cell count as increasing black soybean hull powders, but observed after passing 5 days. The results of total microbial cell count showed that adding 5% black soybean hull powders in processing tobu extend storage time.

The problem of calculating the sample sizes for comparing two independent binomial proportions is studied, when one of two probabilities or both are smaller than 0.05. The use of Whittemore(1981)'s corrected sample size formula for small response probability, which is derived based oB multiple logistic regression, demonstrates much larger sample sizes compared to those by the asymptotic normal method, which is derived for the comparison of response probabilities belonging to the normal range. Therefore, applied statisticians need to be careful in sample size determination with small response probability to ensure intended power during a planning stage of clinical trials. The results of this study describe that the use of the sample size formula in the textbooks might sometimes be risky.

본 논문의 목적은 1991년부터 1996년까지 부실이 된 상장기업 41개사와 이에 대응하는 118개 건전기업의 표본을 가지고 주요 재무정책변수를 이용하여 로짓분석에 의한 기업부실예측모형을 구축하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존연구와는 달리 이론적으로 타당하고 재무경영자의 관심대상인 투자정책변수, 자본조달정책변수 및 배당정책변수를 가장 잘 반영한다고 판단되는 12개의 재무비율을 사전적으로 선정하였다. 이들 12개의 재무비율에 대해 부실기업과 건전기업을 가장 잘 판별할 수 있는 재무비율을 선정하기 위하여 프로파일 분석과 두 표본 t검정을 하였다. 그 결과 투자정책, 자본조달정책, 그리고 배당정책을 대표하는 변수로 자기자본순이익률, 총자본부채비율 및 배당율이 각각 채택되었다. 그리고 현금흐름변수를 추가하였다. 이 네 변수를 이용하여 로짓분석을 실행하였다. 먼저 부실 1년전부터 부실 5년전까지 각 연도별로 부실예측모형을 추정하였다. 부실 1년전의 추정모형에 의하면 총자본부채비율을 제외한 모든 계수의 부호는 (-)로 모두 기대했던 대로 나타났다. 전체적으로 볼 때 부실 4-5년 전에는 자기자본순이익률과 총자본부채비율이 기업부실에 유의한 영향을 주나 부실전 3년간은 현금흐름과 배당률의 크기가 부실에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 부실예측모형을 기업의 재무정책적인 관점에서 추정하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
