Traditionally, diffusion of telecommunications services has been considerably affected by presence of critical mass and network externalities, and thus shown the so-called late take-off phenomenon. However, as telecommunications network evolves from circuit switching to packet switching, enabling diverse new services such as Internet access, Internet banking and web hosting, it seems this traditional diffusion patterns are changing. By comparing diffusion of the packet-based services with those of circuit-based services and durable goods, we have found the late take-off phenomenon is not involved in diffusion of newly introduced the packet-based services. Moreover, we concluded diffusion of the packet-based services is much faster than that of durable goods, thus showing early take-off phenomenon. Based on this empirical result, we suggest Telcos and ISPs should pay as much attention to the growth state as the introduction stage in order for their packet-based services to be successful in the markets.

What are the international aviation regimes? It is said that they are sets of principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures of international aviation around which aviation actors' (states-actors, intergovernmental aviation organization, international aviation conventions, airlines and their organizations etc.) expectations converge in a given aviation issue-area for the purposes of the human welfare and the operations of the stable civil aviation. In this regards, the purposes of this study are focused on the aviation actors' shifts. Chronologically, international aviation regimes have been developed by some stages as followings; The 1st stage is the period from 1944 Chicago Convention to 1978 US Deregulation Act, when the aviation regulations and rules within the international aviation relations were implemented by Chicago-Bermuda regimes as Christer Jonsson pointed out. In this first stage, the sovereignty for the airspace over their countries is absolute. The second stage is the period from 1978 to '1992 Open Skies Agreement' between US and Netherlands. In this regime, airlines' activities as well as state-actors' have been actuated. The third stage is the period from 1992 to the contemporary. In this stage, airlines' activities for the consumers such as 'Open Skies Agreements', 'e-commerce business', 'airspace open policy within EU area', 'service open policy of WTO', and 'airlines' strategic alliance' are the central focal points in the world aviation relationship. In the conclusion, this phenomenon of the core actors in the international aviation rules has been shifted from the states-actors to the non-states actors especially, operating airlines, or consuming customers. Finally, I' d like to suggest that international aviation regimes should be developed to promote and facilitate the globalized level for the people's movements among the global aviation society. That is the way to proceed to the welfare and peace for all human beings of the World.

진공 시스템의 기저상태를 지배하는 것은 대부분의 경우 용기 내면에 수십 단원자 층 정도로 흡착되어 있는 물이다. 용기 압력이 10-9 mbar 대가 될 때까지는 잔류기체의 90% 이상이 수분이고 압력을 10분의 1로 떨어뜨리려면 10배의 시간이 더 필요하다는 소위 1/t 법칙은 광범위한 흡착에너지를 가지는 물분자의 표면방출 특성으로 잘 설명되어진다. 용기가열 등 적극적인 표면처리를 하지 않고 전형적인 압력변화 양상은 그대로 유지하면서 절대적인 시간을 줄이는 가장 직접적인 방법은 물 배기속도를 가능한 한 높이는 것이지만 대부분의 고진공 펌프들에서 물배기속도만 더 증가하도록 만드는 것은 쉽지 않다. 크라이오 워터펌프(CWP: cryo-water pump)는 바로 이런 고민을 제대로 해결할 수 있는 유일한 실용적인 방안이라고 말할 수 있다. 다른 기체분자들의 배기는 일단 염두에 두지 않고 물배기만을 열심히 해서 배기시간을 단축하고 도달 진공도를 낮추는 것을 목표로 하는 장치가 CWP이다. CWP는 모든 기체에 반응하는 정통적인 크라이오 펌프에 비해 훨씬 간단하고 저렴하게 만들 수 있으면서도 진공 시스템에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있지만 그동안은 물배기의 필요성에 대한 인식이 미흡하고, 또 부수적이고 추가적인 비용이 드는 것으로 생각되어 주목을 받지 못했지만 디스플레이와 반도체 산업을 필두로 물분압을 낮추고 생산수율을 높이는 것에 점점 더 관심이 높아지면서 CWP에 대한 수요도 높아지고 있다. CWP의 물배기는 아주 단순한 응축현상에 의존하므로 물리적으로 이해하고 성능을 예측하는 것이 직관적이지만 사용용도에 따라 물 이외의 기체분자들은 잘 통과시키면서 물배기는 최대화하는 최적설계가 요구되거나 터보분자펌프(TMP)와 같이 이질적인 고진공펌프와 조합하여 사용하는 경우 기체 온도 의존성을 고려해야 하는 등 까다로운 점이 있다. 본 보고에서는 CWP+TMP로 구성된 복합진공배기시스템을 설계하면서 CWP만의 물배기성능과 복합 시스템의 물 및 알곤 배기성능을 예측하고, 두 펌프의 상호관계에 대해 분석하며, 실제 만들어진 복합배기시스템을 사용하여 실험적으로 구한 물 및 알곤 배기속도 측정결과에 대해서도 간단하게 논의하려고 한다.

This study investigates factors that affect the transformation of multiplex tie into one specific type of relationship - competitive relationship. In particular, this study argues that the lower technological distance or gap of technological competency, the higher the chances are for the multiplex tie to become a competitive tie. In addition, technological characteristics of the firms are also found to affect the multiplex tie's transformation into the competitive tie. To study this phenomena, this study uses both quantitative analysis and case study method. This study is an exploratory attempt to find factors relevant to change multiplex ties into competition, contributing to the literature of multiplex ties by identifying technological variables that affect the transformation of such ties. This study also contributes to practices by providing the guidance on what strategies firms should implement in complex situations such as multiplex ties.

As the complexity of business environment increases rapidly the use advanced information technology start to affect not only the business processes of individual companies but also the fundamental nature of business and industrial ecosystem. The changes observed at the level of business and industrial ecosystem encompasses a broad range of transformation. This unit of analysis is not sufficiently dealt with by existing information systems research. This research attempted to analyze the changes in business ecosystem caused by digital transformation using a relatively new approach called ecosystem mapping. We developed and suggested an ecosystem mapping methodology step by step and applied the methodology to film industry. The film industry is chosen because it is an industry very sensitive to the changes in technology and has gone through massive transformation during the last three decade by way of using modem information technology.

The goal of Natural Language Processing(NLP) is to make a computer understand a natural language and to deliver the meanings of natural language to humans. Word sense Disambiguation(WSD is a very important technology to achieve the goal of NLP. In this paper, we describe a technology for automatic homonyms disambiguation using both Mutual Information(MI) and a Sense-Tagged Compound Noun Dictionary. Previous research work using word definitions in dictionary suffered from the problem of data sparseness because of the use of exact word matching. Our work overcomes this problem by using MI which is an association measure between words. To reflect language features, the rate of word-pairs with MI values, sense frequency and site of word definitions are used as weights in our system. We constructed a Sense-Tagged Compound Noun Dictionary for high frequency compound nouns and used it to resolve homonym sense disambiguation. Experimental data for testing and evaluating our system is constructed from QA(Question Answering) test data which consisted of about 200 query sentences and answer paragraphs. We performed 4 types of experiments. In case of being used only MI, the result of experiment showed a precision of 65.06%. When we used the weighted values, we achieved a precision of 85.35% and when we used the Sense-Tagged Compound Noun Dictionary, we achieved a precision of 88.82%, respectively.

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect is known to be the physical origin for various exotic magnetic phenomena in the low-dimensional systems. Recently, SOC also draws lots of attention in the study on magnetically doped thermoelectric alloys to determine their properties as the thermoelectric application as well as the topological insulator via the exact electronic structures determination near the Fermi level. In this research, aiming to investigate the spin-orbit coupling effect on the structural properties such as the lattice constants and the bulk modulus of the most widely investigated thermoelectric host material, $Bi_2Te_3$, we carried out the first-principles electronic structure calculation using the all-electron FLAPW (full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave) method. Employing both the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the structural optimization is achieved by varying the in-plane lattice constant fixing the perpendicular lattice constant and vice versa, to find that the SOC effect increases the equilibrium lattices slightly in both directions while it markedly reduces the bulk modulus value implying the strong orientational dependence, which are attributed to the material's intrinsic structural anisotropy.

This paper proposes a handover scheme using uplink and downlink signals in IEEE 802.16e systems. Exploiting the channel reciprocity in TDD systems, the proposed scheme triggers handover initiation process using uplink signal. In addition, it exploits the uplink and downlink hysteresis to determine the handover direction. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm with joint hysteresis reduces the outage probability by about 10% compared with the mobile assisted handover in IEEE 802.16e.

To study the Cd adsorption in the presence of competing ions in soil-solution interphase, three soil samples from the Bt horizon were taken and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. Adsorption of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether(EGME) and N, were determined to establish the specific surface area of the soils. We attempted to establish a qeneralizing competitive sorption isotherms for soils of entirely different composition of the solid phase, resulting in the routine use as a guidelines for the fate of reactive solute in soil profiles. Many physicochemical factors including competitive adsorption bettween solutes will affect the general adsorption phenomena as shown in a single not only on the soil:solution ratio used, but also on the surface areas of its respective soil samples. This phenomenon was attributed to competition Cd for sorption sites with Mg by different soil constituents. These adsorption isotherms are able to use as examples to demonstrate that this phenomenon can complicate the development of a standardized batch adsorption procedure as well as interpreting fate and adsorption of toxic inorganic compounds.

In the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ ion, the charge transfer (CT) interaction of nonionic surfactants, $nonylphenol-(ethylene oxide)_n\;[NP-(EO)_n; n = 11, 40, 100]$ with iodine in aqueous solution were investigated by UV-visible spectrophotometer. The characteristics of spectra depended on the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ ion and the number of EO unit. Above CMC, the intensity of the CT band by the addition of $Ca^{2+}$ ion for the $NP-(EO)_{11}$ and $NP-(EO)_{40}$ increased and then decreased, while for the $NP-(EO)_{100}$ continuously increased. The increase in the intensity of CT band were attributed to the compactness of micelle in the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ ion. These phenomena may be explained by the fact that the linear ethylene oxide (EO) chain, to be free configuration in aqueous solution, could form a pseudo-crown ether structures capable of forming complexes with $Ca^{2+}$ ion.
