Media-related regulations can be classified into two categories; regulations of individual media contents and regulations regarding the entry to and withdrawal from a certain field. In this dissertation, ownership regulations are regarded as legal and political measures so as to prevent the monopoly and oligopoly of public opinion, and to secure its diversity. Every country has its own regulation model according to its particular media environment. Korea too is obliged to actively respond to its environmental changes, at the same time vitalizing the media industry and protecting consumers' rights and interests. Strong political intentions to protect the public interest is necessary when it comes to media regulation policies, especially in the circumstances that public interest is an industrial priority. As the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications is leading to a major shift in the media industry, the regulation of cross-media ownership is an issue involving potential conflicts among media-owners, non-governmental organizations and the authorities concerned, depending on their various viewpoints regarding the media industry. In this paper, an attempt was made to search necessity of redefining 'public interest', which is the logic behind the restriction of cross-media ownership, and to reconceptualize issues on the centralization and diversity of media. First, an examination of the actual conditions of newspaper companies was carried out in order to reinvestigate domestic cross-media ownership issues, which is represented by the cross-ownership issue of newspapers and broadcasting stations. Next, the dilemma of policies stimulated by the fusion of media was discussed based on cross-media ownership restrictions, and the need for efficient conflict control was suggested. Finally, proposals on the independency and public confidence of media-related policy-making authorities, the rationalization of regulation models, an itemized discussion on cross-media ownership regulation issues, the elaboration of measures for a balanced development among media were made. It could be found that a number of foreign countries were still facing challenges to prevent monopoly and oligopoly of the public opinion and the industry. A solution to settle disagreements about the dilemma of the media industry, including the cross-media ownership regulation issues, must be arranged on the grounds of 'mutual respect of public interest and industrial interest', In Korea, an ease on the ownership regulations adapting to the change in the media industry may be considered, however the softening of the cross-media ownership regulations must be approached with the utmost care. Paradoxically Relieving cross-media ownership regulations may be considered the foundation of a richer field of journalism, where there is no need for concern over the monopoly and oligopoly of public opinion.

Alternatives for increasing the competitiveness of locally manufactured agricultural machinery in domestic and foreign markets has been proposed. This was done by analyzing the major agricultural machinery's price and market share as well as their performance and quality. In the Korean domestic market, the market share of Japanese agricultural machinery has been identified to be 14.5% for tractors, 31.1% for combine harvesters, and 35.8% for rice transplanters, and on track for further increase. Japanese manufacturers' domestic patent shares are 58.5% for tractors, 79.9% for combine harvesters, and 69.8% for rice transplanters, showing the dire need for Korean domestic firms to expand their technological rights. To strengthen the industrial competitiveness of agricultural machinery, therefore, researches that develop the fundamental and elemental technology to reduce the frequency of breakdown should be needed in the short term. To achieve this, it is imperative to establish technology roadmap, promote greater cooperation between academia and industry, and systematically increase research funding. In addition, as a long-term solution for enhancing the competitiveness, an establishment of Agricultural Equipment Technology Institute is strongly recommended to systematically support R&D for developing core technologies, particularly high-quality components that guarantee durability and quality.

Budgets of fresh water, salt, DIP and DIN in the Youngsan river estuary were estimated seasonally in order to clarify the characteristics of material cycling and flux of nutrients with a simple box model. Inflow volumes of freshwater into system was approximately $36.481{\times}10^6{\sim}663.634{\times}10^6m^3/month$ and existing water mass of freshwater in system calculated by salt budget was approximately $2.515{\times}10^6{\sim}5.812{\times}10^6m^3$. Mean residence time of freshwater was calculated to be about 0.26~2.03 day. water exchange $1,248{\times}10^6{\sim}9,489{\times}10^6m^3/month$ assumed with salinity between estuary and adjacent ocean. Inflow mass of DIN and DIN were approximately 76.63~1,149.91 ton/month and 2.91~61.22 ton/month, respectively. Residence times of DIP and DIN were calculated to be 0.45~1.10 day and 0.28~1.92 day, respectively. The ratio of water residence time versus DIP, DIN residence time was calculated that freshwater residence time was longer than DIP, DIN residence time except for summer season. Thus, We assume that circulation of Nutrients in the system will happen rapidly except for summer season. Specially DIP in Winter could assume to outer input source existence because of seawater inflow in system and high DIP concentration in open sea.

In this study, an analysis method for the earthquake response of an offshore wind turbine model is developed, considering the effects of the fluid-structure-soil interaction. The turbine is modeled as a tower with a lumped mass at the top of it. The tower is idealized as a tubular cantilever founded on flexible seabed. Substructure and Rayleigh-Ritz methods are used to derive the governing equation of a coupled structure-fluid-soil system incorporating interactions between the tower and sea water and between the foundation and the flexible seabed. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible but non-viscous ideal fluid. The impedance functions of a rigid footing in water-saturated soil strata are obtained from the Thin-Layer Method (TLM) and combined with the superstructure model. The developed method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of an offshore wind turbine model. The method is verified by comparing the results with reference solutions. The effects of several factors, such as the flexibility of the tower, the depth of the sea water, and the stiffness of the soil, are examined and discussed. The relative significance of the fluid-structure interaction over the soil-structure interaction is evaluated and vice versa.

The current healthcare information systems field to meet the growing demand for healthcare for a variety of building systems and operation, and subsequent information on the budget continues to increase, but the current system, although the association link between the various systems made does not, with organizations with information about each of the standardization and real-time network status data do not consist of various materials, such as insufficient to provide real-time issues have been raised. This paper proposes a Integrated information system on Healthcare based on JXTA to solve problems mentioned above. Until now, in a network environment for data storage and management is the most widely used server-intensive structure, while an increase in users and traffic difficulties in data management and communications services to handle the growing number of servers increase faster than information associated with the cost savings, P2P model in terms of efficient data management has emerged as a new solution. Therefore this paper designs a platform for Integrated information system on Healthcare based on JXTA as a method to integrate health information data and services, and then proves that the new information system on healthcare based on JXTA is the suitable model.

수문순환과 수질오염과정의 제반 기작들이 완벽하게 규명되지 않은 상황에서 인위적 또는 자연적 조건에 따른 수질의 평가는 수질모형으로서 추정하는 것이 유일한 대안이며, 다양한 관리대안에 따른 수질환경변화를 예측함으로서 합리적인 관리방안을 도출하는데 유용한 수단이 되고 있다. 현재 시행 중인 수질오염총량관리제에서 또한 수질모형은 핵심적인 역할을 담당하고 있으며, 보다 구체적으로는 단위유역의 목표수질을 결정하는 것에서부터 기본계획 또는 시행계획에 따른 오염부하량 등 환경요인의 변화와 이에 따른 목표수질 설정지점의 수질 변화 등을 모의하는데 이용되고 있다. 그러나 모형에 사용되는 입력 매개변수의 불확실성과 이에 관련된 수질 모형 자체의 불확실성은 수질오염총량관리제와 같이 많은 이해당사자가 관여된 정책의 결정 시에는 공학적으로 많은 부담으로 작용하고 있는 것 또한 현실이다. 실제로 미국의 오염총량관리제의 경우를 살펴보면 모형의 불확실성 분석이 전체 과정의 진행에서 가장 핵심적인 지위를 차지하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 많은 연구들이 수질모형에 있어서의 불확실성을 정량화하기 위하여 수행되어 왔으며, 특히 미국의 오염총량관리계획의 수립 시에는 이러한 불확실성 분석을 토대로 하여 안전율을 산정하도록 되어있다. 그러나 이러한 연구들의 대부분은 수질모형의 매개변수 중 수질기작에 관련된 매개변수들(예를 들어, DO, BOD, N, P 등에 대한 반응계수)에 대한 연구에 집중되어 있다. 하천의 수질을 적절하게 모델링하기 위해서는 이러한 수질에 직접적으로 관련한 매개변수들 이외에 하천의 수리특성에 관한 올바른 이해를 바탕으로 그와 관련된 수리학적 매개변수들에 대한 연구가 뒷받침되어야 한다. 그동안 수행되어온 수질 모델링의 적용 사례를 살펴본 바에 따르면 하천을 모델링하기 위해서는 현장 특성 자료의 중요성, 특히 하천수리특성에 관련된 기초 자료의 가용성 여부가 모형의 성패에 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 이는 유량, 유속 및 폭과 깊이로 대변되는 하천 지형은 물질 이송에 대한 주요 외력 함수이며, 다른 모든 예측치들은 이들에 의존적일 수밖에 없기 때문이다. 따라서 이들의 정확한 표현은 올바른 수질 예측에 있어서 필수적일 수밖에 없다. 많은 모형매개변수들이 유속과 깊이에 의존적이나, 이들에 관한 정보는 종종 현장관측에서 조차 무시되는 경우가 많다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수질모형의 매개변수 중 특히 수리특성에 관련된 매개변수들이 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 적용된 수질모형은 QualKo를 사용하였으며, 대상 하천은 낙동강 본류 경남구간 시점 부근인 회천 합류 전부터 낙동강 본류 경남구간 종점 부근인 밀양강 합류 전까지의 경남 오염총량관리 기본계획 시 구축된 모형 매개변수를 바탕으로 분석을 수행하였다. 일차오차분석을 이용하여 수리매개변수와 수질매개변수의 수질항목별 상대적 기여도를 파악해 본 결과, 수리매개변수는 DO, BOD, 유기질소, 유기인 모든 항목에 일정 정도의 상대적 기여도를 가지고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이로부터 수질 모형의 적용 시 수리 매개변수 또한 수질 매개변수의 추정 시와 같이 보다 세심한 주의를 기울여 추정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

물리적인 조류제어 기술에 해당하는 수류 차단막(이후 차단막)은 유입하천의 수류를 차단 또는 우회시켜 영양염류가 저수지의 유광층으로 공급되는 것을 차단하고 본류 수역으로의 조류 확산을 방지하는 기능이 있어 일본에서는 저수지 녹조제어 대책으로 자주 활용된 바 있다. 그러나 이러한 차단막은 국내 저수지와 같이 홍수시 유입 유속이 크고 수위변동이 심한 환경에서는 설치효과가 검증되지 않아 현장적용에 앞서 수치모의를 통한 효과 검증이 선행되어야 하며, 최적 규모와 위치 선정도 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수위변동이 심한 국내 저수지 특성을 고려하여 차단막이 수위변화에 따라 상하로 이동할 수 있도록 기존 CE-QUAL-W2(이후W2) 모델의 알고리즘을 수정하고, 대청호에서 다양한 수리 수문조건에서 차단막의 기작과 효과를 예측하기 위해 가뭄년(2001년)과 평수년(2004, 2006년)을 대상으로 각각 모델을 적용하였다. 차단막 설치 예정지점은 소옥천 하류(7 m 깊이)와 댐으로부터 각각 14.9 km, 27.4 km 상류에 위치한 회남대교 아래 지점(10 m 깊이)과 대정리(10 m 깊이)로 가정하고, 모의 시나리오는 차단막을 설치하지 않은 경우(S-1), 소옥천 하류에 단독으로 설치한 경우(S-2), 소옥천과 대정리에 설치한 경우(S-3), 모든 지점에 설치한 경우(S-4)를 비교하였다. 차단막 설치에 따른 수문년 및 계절별 수질개선 효과(S-1에 대한 S-4 농도 저감 비)를 비교한 결과, 대청호에서 녹조문제가 가장 심각했던 2001년 6월$^{\sim}$8월 기간 동안 차단막은 봄-여름에 걸쳐 모든 비교 지점(회남, 댐, 추동, 문의수역)에서 Chl-a 농도를 최저(문의수역) 30%에서 최고(회남수역) 70% 정도 저감하는 효과를나타냈다. 평수년인 2004년과 2006년에는 강우사상에 따라 차단막 설치에 따른 Chl-a의 농도 저감 효과가 지점별로 다르게 나타났으며, 큰 강우사상이 6월, 7월, 8월에 걸쳐 골고루 발생한 2004년에 비해 7월 한 달 동안 집중된 2006년에 설치효과가 크게 나타났다. 수역별로 차단막의 설치효과를 비교해 보면, 유입수의 영향을 직접 받는 회남수역과 추동수역이 댐 앞과 문의수역에 비해 차단막 설치에 따른 Chl-a 농도의 저감 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 큰 홍수가 유입할 때 차단막 상류부에 집적된 조류의 일부가 수류의 포획(Entrainment) 기작에 의해 저수지 내부로 유입되는 것으로 확인되어 차단막 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 홍수 전 차단막 상류부에 집적된 조류의 처리대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Computing systems in the modern era are expanding rapidly to include mobile-based businesses that make us of the various convergence distributed business process. This has lead to growing interest in the field of mobile embedded software development methodology, which has in turn lead to the proliferation of the embedded mobility. The use of CBD (Component Based Development) provides reusability, maintainability and portability, all of which are very important and focus issues to the business process. It also comes with the inherent productivity, quality and reliability of CBD. To make efficient use of CBD, though, clarified interface definitions for component integration are necessary. These definitions should be made up of collaborative hierarchical and horizontal architecture layers. Successful definitions should apply an effective framework made up of the architecture and process. In this paper, we describe an interface specification for small grained mobile embedded components(MEC) for the mobile embedded domain to meet maximum user requirements. We build and deploy the reconfigurable design patterns and components (in business domain categories) to make a component hierarchy and business logics for mobile embedded software. Proposed components specification plays a major role in development of the software for handling inconsistency in existing specification. It also includes plenty of specification information, using semantics and modeling based mechanisms to support business processes. We propose a development model of mobile embedded software using CBD for very complex and dynamic mobile business. We can apply it in a plug and play manner to develop the software. We verify that our framework supports very good productivity, quality and maintainability to meet the user's requirements in mobile business.

In Knowledge Q&A services where information is created by unspecified users, document quality is an important factor of user satisfaction with search results. Previous work on quality prediction of Knowledge Q&A documents evaluate the quality of documents by using non-textual information, such as click counts and recommendation counts, and focus on enhancing retrieval performance by incorporating the quality measure into retrieval model. Although the non-textual information used in previous work was proven to be useful by experiments, data sparseness problem may occur when predicting the quality of newly created documents with such information. To solve data sparseness problem of non-textual features, this paper proposes new features for document quality prediction, namely text-confidence features, which indicate how trustworthy the content of a document is. The proposed features, extracted directly from the document content, are stable against data sparseness problem, compared to non-textual features that indirectly require participation of service users in order to be collected. Experiments conducted on real world Knowledge Q&A documents suggests that text-confidence features show performance comparable to the non-textual features. We believe the proposed features can be utilized as effective features for document quality prediction and improve the performance of Knowledge Q&A services in the future.
