It is well known that compensation satisfaction of employees is closely related to work attitude, job commitment, and employees'intentions to stay on the job. These known facts can also be applied to the professionals engaged in science & technology as well. Many studies have concluded that the Korea's losing competitiveness in the area of science & technology was mainly attributed to the distorted compensation system. In this vein, this paper identifies the potential determinants that affect the compensation satisfaction of S&T professionals, and to empirically examines the determinants influences on job commitment and intention to stay. This was done by acquiring data from S&T professionals currently being employed in firms, universities, and institutions. Consequently, for professionals engaged in science & technology, the compensation satisfaction was demonstrated to be largely influenced by job accomplishment, monetary compensation, and social compensation in order. In conclusion, to improve compensation system for S&T professionals, firstly, it is recommended to enhance job accomplishment by endowing more discretionary authority to conduct research. Secondly, the relatively lower-valued labor forces in S&T area will necessitate more economic support and compensation. Finally, the social compensation should be strengthened by not only ameliorating social status, but also improving labor liquidity and job security.

DSC-HDTV image compression algorithm removes spatial, temporal, and amplitude redundancies of an image by using transform coding, motion-compensated predictive coding, and adaptive quantization, respectively. In this paper, leak processing method which is used to recover image quality quickly from scene change and transmission error and adaptive quantization using perceptual weighting factor obtained by HVS are proposed. Perceptual weighting factor is calculated by contrast sensitivity, spatio-temporal masking and frequency sensitivity. Adaptive quantization uses the perceptual weighting factor and global distortion level from buffer history state. Redundant bits according to adaptation of HVS are used for the next image coding. In the case of scene change, DFD using motion compensated predictive coding has high value, large bit rate and unstabilized buffer states since reconstructed image has large quantization noise. Thus, leak factor is set to 0 for scene change frame and leak factor to 15/16 for next frame, and global distortion level is calculated by using standard deviation. Experimental results show that image quality of the proposed method is recovered after several frames and then buffer status is stabilized.

Main research question of this study is based on situational gap between donation motivation and behaviour in non-profit organization. However, researches investigating the gap were limited. Therefore, this study examined components of psychological variables. Specially, we proposed the variables about consumer's impulsive motivation or behavior on impulse literature in donation toward non-profit organization. This study conducted a scale development to measure consumer's charity donation impulse based on non-conscious viewpoint. For the development of measurement tool for charity donation impulse, we conducted two stages of research process. First, the measurement items of charity donation impulse were developed through FGI and in-depth interview on experts. Secondly, the factor analysis was performed, and then some items were eliminated through this analysis. As a result, we found the final scale with 26 items, which were named as evaluation sensitivity charity impulse, reward sensitivity charity impulse, functional impulse, non-planning charity impulse. These results showed that the measurement items developed in this study were confirmed to be useful tools for measuring charity donation impulse.

M-WiMAX (Mobile-Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) system, which uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique, is known to be proper for mobile high-speed data transmission system. Nevertheless, M-WiMAX is seriously sensitive to IQ imbalance caused by the LO (Local Oscillator) at the receiver. In this paper, we analyze the effect of IQ imbalance on the system, and then propose a joint optimization scheme that can optimize DFE (Digital Front-end) of mobile modem by combining operation duplicated between AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and the estimation and compensation of IQ imbalance. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves the same performance of the conventional scheme while reducing the complexity of the H/W implementation.

A new method is proposed for optimal management of the fabrication and assembly tolerance of optical systems. The practical utility of the method is shown by applying it to a wide-angle anamorphic IR optical system. In this method the wavefront error of an optical system is expressed in terms of Zernike polynomials, and the sensitivity of the expansion coefficients to the variation of design parameters is analyzed. Based on this sensitivity analysis, the optimal tolerances of the fabrication parameters are determined and the best compensators for the assembly process are selected. By using this method, one can accurately predict with good confidence the best possible performance of a completed optical system in practice.

A 440MHz wireless and passive surface acoustic wave (SAW) based chemical sensor was developed on a $41^{\circ}YX\;LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate for simultaneous measurement of $CO_2$ gas and relative humidity (RH) using a reflective delay line pattern as the sensor element. The reflective delay line is composed of an interdigital transducer (IDT) and several shorted grating reflectors. A Teflon AF 2400 and a hydrophilic $SiO_2$ layer were used as $CO_2$ and water vapor sensitive films. The coupling of mode (COM) modeling was conducted to determine optimal device parameters prior to fabrication. According to simulation results, the device was fabricated and then wirelessly measured using the network analyzer. The measured reflective coefficient $S_{11}$ in the time domain showed high signal/noise (S/N) ratio, small signal attenuation, and few spurious peaks. In the $CO_2$ and humidity testing, high sensitivity ($2^{\circ}/ppm$ for $CO_2$ detection and $7.45^{\circ}/%$RH for humidity sensing), good linearity and repeatability were observed in the $CO_2$ concentration ranges of $75{\sim}375ppm$ and humidity levels of $20{\sim}80%$RH. Temperature and humidity compensations were also investigated during the sensitivity evaluation process.

본 논문에서는 DSP를 이용하여 운동하는 물체의 회전량을 측정하는 실린더형 진동 자이로스코프(이하 자이로) 제어기를 개발하였다. 진동 자이로를 구동하기 위해서는 정밀 진동제어와 신호 처리와 같은 고급 제어 기술이 필요하다. 정밀진동제어는 진동 자이로를 구동하기 위해 필요한 핵심기술로써 기존의 PLL(phase-locked loop)방식은 외부환경에 민감하여 구현이 까다로울 뿐만 아니라 자이로 개개의 고유 진동수가 다르기 때문에 대량 생산에 어려움이 있었다. 또한 자이로 출력 신호로부터 회전량을 검출하기 위해서는 진폭과 당향성 검출의 본 회로뿐만 아니라 잡음 제거와 신호 증폭, 온도 보상과 같은 전처리 과정도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DSP를 통해 정밀 진동제어와 잡음 제거, 방향성 검출 등의 기능들을 구현하였으며 증폭과 진폭(회전량) 검출은 아날로그 회로를 이용하였다. 또 한 외부와의 인터페이스를 위해 D/A 회로를 설계하였고 이들을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 교차로의 비용 및 특성을 고려한 도로선형최적화 모형을 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms)을 이용하여 개발하였다. 기존의 도로선형최적화 모형은 교차로 특성을 고려하지 못해서 실제 적용에 심대한 문제점을 내재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정 도로선형에 교차로 건설의 필요가 있을 경우, 민감(Sensitive)하고 지배적인(Dominating) 교차로 비용 항목들 즉, 토공비용, 보상비, 포장비, 사고비용, 지체 및 연료소모비용 등의 산정이 시도되었다. 또한 비교적 우수한 도로선형 대안을 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 탐색과정 중에서 비효율적으로 강제 퇴화시키는 단점 보완을 위한 교차로 국소 최적화 방법(Local Optimization of Intersections)이 개발되어 기존 모형을 보완하였다. 공간상의 도로선형은 매개변수적 묘사(Parametric Representation)를 통하여 구현하였으며 벡터운영(Vector Manipulation)을 통해 교차로비용 산정의 근간인 교차점과 다른 중요점들의 좌표를 찾을 수 있었다. 개발된 교차로 비용산정 모형이 보다 정밀하게 교차로 비용을 산정함이 증명되었으며 궁극적으로는 기존의 최적화 모형의 단점을 보완할 수 있음이 제시되었다. 또한, 새로이 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법이 최적대안 탐색과정의 유연성을 증대하였으며, 결과적으로 효율적인 교차로의 유지에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법은 추후 단일노선이 아닌 도로망 최적화시의 기초를 제시함은 주목할 만 하다. 두개의 예제에서 도출된 최적노선 및 교차로 비용 등의 검토 결과, 도로상의 교차로 건설비용은 도로선형 최적화에 큰 영향을 미치는 실질적이며 민감한 비용 항목임이 검증되었으며 이는 도로선형최적화 모형이 교차로 비용을 반드시 검토 및 평가할 수 있어야 함을 반증한다.

Pilot symbol-based coherent detection is used to increase the link capacity in CDMA systems. In order to detect data efficiently, data signals must be compensated with channel estimation values obtained by using pilot symbols. Many channel estimation schemes were published in previous literatures. However, most of these schemes have performance deterioration in fast fading because of using average vaules of several timeslots. In this paper, we propose an improved channel estimation scheme which is efficient in fast fading and also operates in slow fading satisfactorily. Through computer simulation we show that the proposed scheme has better performance than other schemes in terms of both MSE and BER in fast fading and show robustness for variation in Doppler frequencies.
