In this paper, we present a self-compensating PID controller which consists of a conventional PID controller that controls the linear components and a neural controller that controls the higher order and nonlinear components. This controller is based on the Harris's concept where he explained that the adaptive controller consists of the PID control term and the disturbance compensating term. The resulting controller's architecture is also found to be very similar to that of Wang's controller. This controller adds a self-tuning ability to the existing PID controller without replacing it by compensating the control errors through the neuro-controller. When applied to an actual magnetic levitation system which is known to be very nonlinear, it has also produced an excellent results.

Suspension effect has been studied by using superconductor of BiPbSrCaCuO ceramics containing $Ag_2O$. It has been cleared that $Ag_2O$ acts as pinning center which plays an important role to the suspension effect. Magnetic repulsive force which affects a superconductor located in magnetic flux from toroidal magnet has been investigated. It has been concluded that the suspension effect arises from the interaction between the pinning effect and the diamagnetic effect.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni and metal Ni nanoparticles were synthesized by levitational gas condensation (LGC). Methane ($CH_4$) gas was used to coat the surface of the Ni nanoparticles. The Ni particles had a core diameter of 10 nm, and were covered by 2~3 nm thin carbon layers with multi-shells structure.The low magnetization comparing with the Ni nanoparticles without carbon-shell results in the coexistence of nonmagnetic carbon and a large surface spin percentage with disordered magnetization orientation for the nanoparticles. Biginelli reactions in the presence of L-proline and Ni and carbon encapsulated Ni nanoparticles were carried out to change the ratio between stereoisomers. The obtained S-enantiomers for 3,4-dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) using catalysts of Ni, and Ni@C was an excess of about ${\Delta}{\sim}7.4%$ and ${\Delta}{\sim}19.6%$, respectively. The nanopowders were fully recovered using magnet to reuse as a catalyst. The Ni@C was shown at same yield to formation of 3,4-DHPM, though it was recycled for catalyst in the reaction.

Objective: This study examined the caregiver burden, depressive symptoms, and mental-related quality of life of 226 caregivers of stroke patients, who had been hospitalized in 7 general hospitals located in Cheongju and Daejeon Metropolitan city. Methods: Data were collected from August 5, 2014 to October 5, 2014 and a structured self-administered questionnaire was used. The results were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA for different comparisons of the mental related quality of life in the sociodemographic characteristics, care-related characteristics, health-related behavioral characteristics, caregiver burden, and depressive symptoms. Hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to determine the explanatory power of the independent variables on the dependent variables, with the variables showing significant differences in univariate analysis as independent variables. Results: According to the results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the relevant factors that influenced the mental-related quality of life were the relationship with a patient, burden by 'care', burden by sacrifice of 'personal life', and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: To enhance health-related quality of life, not only is a systematic complement on such factors needed, but the development and implementation of an intervention program to the caregiver burden and depressive symptoms is also urgently required.

We investigate the signaling effect of repurchase preceding new equity issue using Korean data. In a short time span, firms announce stock repurchases and equity offerings. The proximity of two events in Korean firms indicates that those are not independent of each other. In this paper, we test the signaling effect of repurchase on equity offerings on the two measures. One is announcement effect, which is measured as CAR(0, +2). The other is the effectiveness which is measured as CAR(0, +30) because the price movement during this window influences on the price of new issues. Previous studies that stock repurchase convey positive signal to equity offerings-Billet and Xue(2004) and Jung(2004)-construct sample without the limit of time interval between two events. This causes the unclear relation between those because of the long time interval. In this study we consider only samples of being within one year each other to reduce this problem and clarify the signal of repurchase on equity offerings. Korean firms are allowed to repurchase own shares with two different method. One is direct repurchase as same as open market repurchase. The other is stock stabilization fund and stock trust fund which trust company or bank buy and sell their shares on the behalf of firms. Generally, the striking different characteristic between direct repurchase and indirect repurchase is following. Direct repurchase is applied by more strict regulation than indirect repurchase. Therefore, the direct repurchase is more informative signal to the equity offering than the indirect repurchase. We construct two sample firms- firms with direct repurchase preceding-equity offerings and indirect repurchase-preceding equity offering, and one control firms-equity offerings only firms-to investigate the announcement effect and the effectiveness of repurchases. Our findings are as follows. Direct repurchase favorably affect the price of new issues favorably. CAR(0, +2) of firms with direct repurchase is not different from that of equity offerings only firms but CAR(0, +30) is higher than that of equity offerings only firms. For firms with indirect repurchase and equity offerings, Both the announcement effect and the effectiveness does not exist. Jung(2004) suggest the possibilities of how indirect stock repurchase can be regarded as one of unfair trading practices on based on the survey results that financial managers of some of KSE listed firms have been asked of their opinion on the likelihood of the stock repurchase being used in unfair trading. This is not objective empirical evidence but opinion of financial managers. To investigate whether firms announce false signal before equity offerings to boost the price of new issues, we calculate the long-run performance following equity offerings. If firms have announced repurchase to boost the price of new issues intentionally, they would undergo the severe underperformance. The empirical results do not show the severer underperformance of both sample firms than equity offerings only firms. The suggestion of false signaling of repurchase preceding equity offerings is not supported by our evidence.

Despite a growing trend in elder mistreatment, research about the problem and its effects on the victims has been sparse. Notably missing are the perspectives of older adults themselves, whose perceptions and responses to elder mistreatment are greatly affected by social and cultural context. The purpose of this study is to examine factors associated with older persons' perceptions of elder mistreatment and subsequent help-seeking behaviors. Six hypothetical scenarios featuring elders were the basis of interviews with 124 older persons, drawn by a quota sampling strategy. Findings indicated that older persons perceived situations of physical abuse (87.9%), financial abuse (86.3%), and psychological abuse (66.1%) to be elder mistreatment, yet respondents showed less sensitivity to elder mistreatment that took the form of physical mistreatment within a couple (47.6%), neglect (40.3%), and self-neglect (16.9%). Certain scenarios yielded less intention to seek help: namely, physical mistreatment within a couple, neglect, and self-neglect. Older persons' personal characteristics, social factors, and cultural factors exerted significant influence on both perception and help-seeking behavior. Perception was identified as a key factor that significantly influenced help-seeking behavior. Findings point to awareness of cultural and social context for success in elder mistreatment prevention, intervention, and policy design for this population.

Because of the advantages such as the zero electrical resistance effect that disappears in the vicinity of the absolute temperature and the magnetic levitation effect, the superconducting applications are being tried in a variety of fields. But, those have faced many difficulties in the practical use because of the difficulty for the realization of the superconducting critical temperature. Recently, however, because the high-temperature super conductors was discovered newly which show superconductivity more than $30^{\circ}K$, the application researches based on it are being tried in various fields. Therefore, this paper examines the possibilities and issues by surveying the high temperature superconducting applications to electrical power system.

Low-frequency pressure fluctuations in an external-loop airlift reactor were investigated. Low-frequency pressure fluctuations could be measured by shooting videos about liquid levels in the four piezometric tubes which were installed at the lower and upper parts of the riser and downcomer using a cellular phone. The periodic characteristics of pressure fluctuations were proved by the calculation of their auto-correlation function and cross-correlation function. Even if the riser superficial gas velocity was constant, the riser and downcomer gas holdups as well as wall pressures were periodically changed due to the inertia of circulating liquid. In general, the intensity of pressure fluctuations increased with an increase in the gas velocity. When the unaerated liquid height was 0.04 m, the maximum period of pressure fluctuations was found at the specific gas velocity (0.14 ms^-1). It was because the maximum inertia of circulating liquid resulted from a reduction in the increasing rate of the liquid circulation velocity and a decrease in the volume of the effectively circulating liquid with an increase in the gas velocity.

본교(本橋)는 백터자기회귀모형(自己回歸模型)(VAR)에 비하여 작성과정이 까다롭고 복잡하지만 경제구조의 파악이 용이하고 경제체계내에 주어진 충격의 해석이 분명한 연립방정식(聯立聯立方程式) 구조모형(構造模型)을 사용하여 경기순환(景氣循環)의 원인을 밝히고자 하였다. 새로 작성된 경기순환모형(景氣循環模型)은 거시경제(巨視經濟) 분기모형(分期模型)으로서 추정기간은 1972년부터 1992년까지 21년으로 통계청(統計廳) 기준의 제1순환기부터 제5순환기까지 포함하고 있으며, 경기순환(景氣循環)의 원인분석을 위해서 가상적(假想的) 시뮬레이션(counter factual simulation) 기법을 사용하였다. 본고(本稿)는 향후 경기순환(景氣循環)의 안정(安定)을 도모하거 위해서 다음의 몇가지 결론을 내리고 있다. 첫째, 건설투자(建設投資)는 경기변동(景氣變動)의 진복(振福)을 확대(擴大)시켜 온 경향이 있기 때문에 경기부양(景氣浮揚) 및 경기진정(景氣鎭靜)을 위한 정책변수로 바람직하지 않다. 왜냐하면 정부가 경기변동(景氣變動)을 감지(感知)하기까지는 시간이 걸리며, 경기변동(景氣變動)의 체감 직후 건설투자(建設投資)를 통해서 경기부양(景氣浮揚) 혹은 경기진정(景氣鎭靜)을 이루고자 하더라도 정책수립부터 정책효과의 가시화(可視化)에까지 이르는 시차(時差)로 인하여 건설투자(建設投資)가 정부의 의도와는 반대로 경기순행적(景氣順行的)인 역할(役割)을 할 가능성이 있기 때문이다. 둘째, 통화(通貨)가 생산(生産) 및 물가변동(物價變動)에 미치는 영향은 서로 상충관계(相衝關係)(trade-off) 에 있는 것으로 보이기 때문에 정부는 민간신용(民間信用) 등 통화변수(通貨變數)를 경기조절수단(景氣調節手段)으로 사용할 경우에는 사전에 정책효과(政策效果)를 충분히 고려해서 시행해야 할 것이다. 셋째 해외도매물가(海外都賣物價), 원유도입가격(原油導入價格) 및 국제상품가격(國際商品價格) 등 해외물가변수(海外物價變數)의 변동은 GNP는 물론이고 큰 폭의 물가변동(物價變動)을 초래하기 때문에, 해외부문(海外部門)의 충격에 따른 경기변동(景氣變動)을 안정시키기 위해서 정부는 유가자유화(油價自由化)를 통한 유류가격안정(油類價格安定)및 원유비양수준(原油備養水準)의 제고(提高), 해외원자재(海外原資材) 수입선(輸入先)의 다변화 등을 통하여 해외물가충격(海外物價衝擊)이 국내경제에 미치는 영향을 최소화하도록 노력해야 할 것이다.
