본 논문은 입체 음상 정위 시스템에 있어서 청취자의 머리 크기와 음상 정위를 원하는 위치와의 거리에 따른 머리전달함수 (HRTF; Head Related Transfer Function)의 보정 방법에 관한 것이다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 표준 반경에서 표준 머리 크기의 더미 헤드를 이용해 측정된 표준 머리전달함수 데이터베이스로부터 실제의 왼쪽 또는 오른쪽 귀를 기준으로 한 방위각과 고도각을 산출한다. 이렇게 산출된 방위각과 고도각을 기준으로 머리전달함수 데이터베이스의 인덱스를 보정한다. 음상 정위하고자 하는 3차원 공간상의 위치를 입력받게 되면, 입력받은 위치로부터 청취자의 왼쪽 또는 오른쪽 귀를 기준으로 한 방위각과 고도각을 산출한 후에 보정된 머리전달함수 데이터베이스로부터 머리전달함수를 가져와서 입력 모노 신호를 보정된 머리전달함수와 콘볼루션하여 입체음향을 생성하게 된다.제안된 방법에 의해 청취자의 머리 크기 및 거리에 따라 보정된 머리전달함수를 사용함으로써 청취자에게 보다 실감나는 3차원 음상 정위 효과를 제공할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 벡터 부울함수의 비선형성의 척도인 선형 함수군까지의 거리에 대해 알아본다. 특히 S-Box의 내부 함수로 이용될 수 있는 출력의 균등 분포성을 만족하는 벡터 부울함수의 선형함수군까지의 거리의 하계를 유도한다. 더불어 EDS에서의 S-Box내부함수의 비선형도를 산출하고 보다 비선형도가 높은, 즉 선형 함수군까지으 거리가 더 먼 새로운 S-Box의 존재를 밝힌다.

In this paper we provide a methodology that permits test of feasibility of Porter hypothesis under limited data environment by utilizing two types of output distance function: Shephard distance function and directional distance function. The production technology supported by Porter hypothesis is embodied in the directional distance function. The average annual marginal abatement cost for $SO_2$ obtained by estimating the directional distance function is higher than the one obtained with the Shephard distance function by about 50 percent in the Korean electric power industry over the period 1970~1998. This result implies that feasibility of Porter hypothesis depends upon whether investment in production capital and process can bring more than a 50 percent increase in the average productivity.

도시화물수요예측모형에는 화물기반모형과 트럭통행기반모형이 있는데 화물기반모형은 화물체계가 기본적으로 화물운송과 관계가 있다는 개념에 기초를 두고 있으며, 차량이 아닌 화물의 움직임을 주요 분석대상으로 삼고 있다. 반면에, 트럭통행기반모형은 집합화된 독립변수를 이용하여 각 죤(Zone)에 유·출입하는 트럭의 통행을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 트럭통행기반모형의 O-D 추정시 화물통행과 트럭통행 사이의 관계식을 산출하고 이를 설명할 수 있는 통행거리분포함수(Trip Length Distribution : TLD)를 추정함에 있다. 본 연구의 자료는 교통개발연구원에서 수행한 '서울시 물류조사 및 물류종합계획수립구상(1998)'의 화물 물동량 조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 이를 통해 통행거리분포에 따르는 화물 및 차량의 비율을 함수로서 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 트럭통행기반모형에서 트럭통행거리분포를 이용하여 화물기반모형에서 도출할 수 있는 화물의 통행거리분포를 추정할 수 있었으며, 또한 각각의 통행거리분포는 감마분포를 이용하여 함수식으로 도출하고 상기한 두 가지 분포모형을 하나의 관계식을 통해 재산정할 수 있는 이론적인 틀을 제공하였다는 데 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 트럭통행거리분포, 화물통행거리분포 모두 통계적인 검증을 통해 적합한 것으로 분석되었으며, 전체화물의 통행거리분포와 매개함수를 통해 재산정된 모형의 결과 값 또한 통계적으로 유의하였다. 품목별 적용에서는 잡공업품과 화학공업품은 본 연구의 매개함수식을 통해 화물거리분포 모형이 적합하였으나 금속공업 품과 경공업품은 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

The aim of this paper was to estimate efficiency using a directional distance function to compare performances of bus agencies to determine if they have made efforts to operate efficiently and reduce emissions and accidents since public transportation reforms 2004. Drivers, mechanics, staff, buses, and fuel were used as input data and vehicle-kilometers (a desirable output), accident costs, and emission costs (undesirable outputs) as output data during June 2005. As a result, the efficiency with undesirable outputs was lower than the efficiency without undesirable outputs. However, the number of efficient agencies was more in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. The reason is that the number of agencies whose possibility to reduce undesirable outputs are less than the possibility to reduce inputs was increasing, while the efficiency deviation among agencies was larger in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. Meanwhile, the increase of CNG buses and operating speed and the improvement of mechanical efficiency had positive influence on the efficiency.

This study measured inefficiencies of Korean banks with weighted Russell directional distance function, WRDDM, for the years of 2004-2013. Checking contributions of inputs and outputs to these inefficiencies, we found that non-performing loan as undesirable output was the most influential factor. The annual average of inefficiencies of Korean banks was 0.3912, and it consisted of non-performing loan 0.1883, output factors 0.098 except non-performing loan, input factors 0.098. The annual average inefficiency went sharply up from 0.2995 to 0.4829 mainly due to the sharp increase of inefficiency of non-performing loan from 0.1088 to 0.2678 before and after 2007-2008 Global financial crisis. We empirically showed the non-performing loan needed to be considered since it was the most important factor among the influential factors of technical inefficiency such as manpower, total deposit, securities, and non-performing loan. This study had some limitation since we did not control financial environment factor in WRDDM.

Even though the price of extracted but unprocessed coal has been available in Korea, the use of it as scarcity index would be inappropriate because of price subsidy. Following Halvorsen and Smith(1984), Kim and Lee(2002) derived estimates of the shadow price of unextracted coal by estimating the restricted cost function and differentiating with respect to the quantity of coal extracted. In Korea, however, due to the limited data the capital prices have been computed inconsistently case by case without relying on the robust formula like the Christensen-Jorgenson methodology used in US, which could result in biased estimators of the restricted cost function. In the paper the shadow prices of the resources in situ are obtained by measuring an input distance function defined by Shephard (1970), which requires only the data on the quantities of inputs and output. Empirical results for the Korean coal mining industry show that these shadow prices as a coal scarcity have increased fast by approximately three times in comparisons with those obtained by Kim and Lee.

This paper decomposed energy productivity changes across 14 Korean manufacturing industries into 5 components, technological catch-up(EC), technological progress(TC), and changes in labor-energy ratio(LC), capital-energy ratio(KC) and energy mix(EMC). Then we also figured out the possible relationship between energy productivity change and export growth rate across the industries. It is found that (1) technological progress, changes in capital-energy ratio and energy mix contribute to energy productivity growth in Korea during the sample period, (2) technological progress is the primary driving forces for energy productivity growth, (3) increase in export growth rate had a positive impact on energy productivity growth excepting a part of energy-intensive industries.

On December 11, 2001, China joined the WTO and became one of the member countries and the Chinese financial markets had to be open in 5 years. So, the Chinese government transformed national commercial banks into joint-stock banks. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the validity of this decision by the Chinese government. In order to measure the efficiency of banks, the directional distance function (DDF) methodology is used, which analyzes whether a bad output exists in the outputs. In the empirical analysis, the number of staffs, the fixed assets, and the equity capital are used as inputs, while the loans and the non-performing loans ratio are used as a good output and a bad output, respectively. The non-performing loans ratio is included in output since it could affect the efficiency of banks. If it isn't considered in the analysis, a distortion might occur in analyzing the efficiency of banks. The results show that the efficiency of the major commercial banks was improved, and that the efficiency of joint-stocks banks was higher for 2002-2003 while the efficiency of national commercial banks was higher for 2004-2006. It was due mainly to the foreign exchanges reserve funds injected into national commercial banks by the Chinese Ministry of Finance, and as a result bad assets were eliminated.
