In this study, we estimate the effect of ability grouping on mathematics achievement empirically. We use propensity score matching(PSM) method to minimize selection bias and estimate the effect of ability grouping on the mathematics standard score of Scholastic Ability Test with the KELS(Korea Education Longitudinal Study) 6th stage data. The result indicated that relationship between ability grouping and mathematics achievement is positive and Policy efforts is needed to operate ability grouping effectively.

This paper proposes an energy transmission method to maximize energy efficiency of a based station. This method makes use of classification of service type to solve an inefficient use of transmission power, which is from exponential relationship between the legacy data throughput and transmission power. The proposed one is a way to find the most energy-efficiency points with the transmitted optimal amount of data on users in a base station of wireless network environment. For this, we propose EETA (Energy-Efficient Transmission Algorithm) which can control the amount of data and the holding time at the base station. As a result, the proposed method can improve the energy efficiency of about 10% compared to the legacy base station.

In this study we investigate the importance of the subway station using network centrality measures. For centrality measures, we have used betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and degree centrality. A new measure called weighted betweenness centrality is proposed, that combines both traditional betweenness centrality and passenger flow between stations. Through correlation analysis and power-law analysis of passenger flow on the Seoul metropolitan subway network, we have shown that weighted betweenness centrality is a meaningful and practical measure. We have also shown that passenger flow between any two stations follows a highly skewed power-law distribution.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)에 따르면 지난 1세기 반 동안 전 세계 평균 기온은 약 1℃가 상승하였으며, 온실가스 축적에 따라 평균기온은 21세기 중반에서 21세기 말까지 1~3℃가 증가할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 이러한 기온의 상승으로 인한 하천의 수온 변화는 수중에서 온도에 민감한 생화학적 반응의 변화를 유발하여 수질 및 수생태 변화에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 효과적인 수질 및 수생태 관리를 위해서는 기온과 수온 사이의 명확한 관계 정립을 통해 수질변화를 정확하게 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내·외로 널리 활용되고 있는 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool, SWAT) 모형을 통해 기온-수온 회귀식이 하천 수질변화에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 그러나 기존 SWAT 모형에서의 기온-수온 회귀식은 미국 유역의 환경 특성을 바탕으로 도출되었기 때문에 국내 유역에 적용하기에 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국내 유역에서의 실측 기온자료와 수온자료를 사용하여 SWAT 모형 내 기온-수온 회귀식을 재도출하고 적용성을 평가하는 것이다.

The oriented islands of cubic galium nitride are grown on the (0001) surface of hexagonal GaN epitaxial films by halide vapour phase epitaxial process. The mutual orientation of cubic β-GaN and hexagonal α-GaN phase was observed as : [110](111) β-GaN//[1120](0001) α-GaN. Trigonally faced islands of β-GaN occupy the twined positions in relation to (111) plane in parallel to the film surface. The band gap value for β-GaN determuned from photo and local catchodoluminescent measurments is estimated to be 3.18±0.30eV at room temperature.

The tourism industry is well on its way to returning to pre-pandemic levels all over the world. This article aims to investigate the factors that affect tourists' traveling intentions towards Korea. TAM model is used when doing the data analysis and we added some key external variables: trust, information quality, and personal innovativeness, to better fit the real-life scenarios. By using SPSS and AMOS, we analyze with the structural equation modeling method and find out that perceived risk is not significantly related to intention. We find out that perceived risk is not significantly related to purchasing intention, suggesting that consumers might prioritize convenience over perceived risk. And many other factors become potential mediating factors between these two.

Coastal sand dunes are important for ecosystems due to the variety of rare species that can be found in this kind of habitat, and the beautiful landscapes they create. For environmental remediation, a potential strategy is phytoremediation using the symbiotic relationship of plants and microbes in the rhizosphere, which has proven ecologically sound, safe, and cost effective. Ninety-five colonies were isolated from the rhizosphere soil (RS) or rhizoplane (RP) of Rorippa islandica, Rumex crispus, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Lilium sp Stellaria media, and Gramineae. These colonies were then tested for plant growth promoting activities (PGPAs) such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, and siderphores synthesis ability. In addition, salt tolerance was evaluated at 4% and 8% salt concentrations. It was observed that amongst the test subjects about 50% of the strains had a high resistance to salinity. Many of them could produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) IAA (in RS 13.9% and in RP 7.6%), exhibited ACC deaminase activity (55.8% in RS and 36.6% in RP), and could synthesize siderphores (62.7% in RS and 50% in RP). Correlation coefficient analyses were carried out for the three kinds of plant growth promoting abilities (PGPA) and salt tolerance. A positive correlation was found between an ability to synthesize siderphores and ACC deaminase activity (r=0.605, p<0.037). Similarly, positive correlations were noted between salt tolerance and ACC deaminase activity (r=0.762, p<0.004, r=0.771), and salt tolerance and an ability to synthesize siderphores (r=0.771, p<0.003).

In order to understand the population dynamics of red tide dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans, we examined its hydrographical and bio-ecological characteristics at 19 to 20 stations of Gwangyang Bay during all four seasons from 2010 to 2012. During the 3-year period, N. scintillans was seasonally abundant during summer with water temperatures ranging from $15^{\circ}C$ to $22^{\circ}C$ and salinity ranging from 25 psu to 30 psu. On the other hand, N. scintillans population density significantly decreased in spring, fall and winter, although they were present even in lower temperatures (< $4^{\circ}C$). However, high water temperature (> $27^{\circ}C$) and low salinity (< 12 psu) led to the disappearance of N. scintillans population. Chl-a concentration in winter, spring and fall was positively correlated with N. scintillans population density, whereas the N. scintillans population was negatively correlated with Chl-a concentration in summer. This implies that densities of prey population such as diatoms are one of important contributing factor for maintaining abundance of N. scintillans in winter, spring and fall and for increasing abundance of N. scintillans in summer. During summer season, bio-accumulation of N. scintillans population by the wind from southwest is also considered to be a key factor in triggering the formation of large-scale blooms in Gwangyang Bay.

To improve video quality and coding efficiency, H.264/AVC adopted an adaptive rate control. But this method has a problem as it cannot predict an accurate quantization parameter(QP) for the first frame. The first QP is decided among four constant values by using encoder input parameters. It does not consider encoding bits, results in significant fluctuation of the image quality and decreases the average quality of the whole coded sequence. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the first frame QP decision in the H.264/AVC encoder. The QP is decided by the existing algorithm and the first frame is encoded. According to the encoded bits, the new initial QP is decided. We can predict optimal value because there is a linear relationship between encoded bits and the new initial QP. Next, we re-encode the first frame using the new initial QP. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only achieves better quality than the state of the art algorithm, but also adopts a rate control forthe sequence that was impossible with the existing algorithm. By reducing fluctuation, subjective quality also improved.
