This study examines the generalizability of the existing research in an on-line auction situation which suggests that there exist a gap between buyer's willing-to-pay price(WTP) and seller's willing-to-sell price(WTS) about the same product due to the endowment effect and consumers' loss aversion propensity. At the same time, this study also identifies and examines the potential moderating factors for the effect such as product type and consumer's goal orientation based on existing theories about consumers' gain-loss heuristics. The results show that WTS is consistently higher than WTP, and that such gap gets more pronounced when the target product is hedonic vs. utilitarian and when consumers have prevention goals vs. promotion goals. Lastly, limitations and managerial implications of this study is discussed.

This paper propose the method that measure the main system parameters for current control of a.c. motor adopting the vector control technique. The automatical method that tuning PI control gains for current control of servo motors are used frequently through the information of main system parameters, wire resistance and inductance. In this study, the techniques to measure these two system parameters through the control of 3-phase inverter are presented. These control and measuring method are implemented by measuring output phase current obtained as a results of the step current control using simple proportional feedback input. Moreover, this method use freewheeling current of inverter at special switching mode for measuring inductance. This analytic strategy is could measure and calculate the system parameters without the complex measurement algorithm and new additional measuring circuits. That is could measure the total resistance and total inductance including wiring resistance and conduction resistance of switching devices using real driving circuits to control the motors.

Atmospheric environment in Korea is influenced by outside, especially China. The concentrations of air pollutants in China have showed decreasing trends since 2000. However, these concentration levels in China are still higher than other developed countries. The Chinese Government has tried several measures to control the air pollution. In this study, the details of the amendments and smog reduction strategies in China, especially for Beijing are reviewed and the strategies for Korean side to promote cooperation in Northeast Asia are suggested and discussed. The Chinese State Council amended the Environmental Protection Provisions and Clean Air Act and announced The Action Plan for Air Pollution Control (2013-2017), focusing on three key regions, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area (Jing-Jin-Ji), Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD). These policy actions and plan are mainly for the reducing coal usage and emissions from vehicles. It is suggested that, Korea should actively promote multi-national cooperation in the region to take an initiative role in environmental areas.

In this paper, we propose a microstrip slot antenna that works in Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMAX and WLAN frequency bands($2.4{\sim}5.825\;GHz$). To get the wide bandwidth from the microstrip antenna proposed, we insert a pair of parastic strips along the feed line on the FR-4 dielectric substance(${\varepsilon}_r=4.8$). Furthermore, a simple geometrical rotation with quadrilateral slot is designed to maximize the bandwidth and to gain a wider frequency band than the conventional rectangular slot antenna. A additional design of the loop type is added to a cactus-shaped patched for 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. The total measured bandwidth of the antenna is from 2.4 GHz to 6 GHz and the maximum gains of the antenna are 3.82 dBi, 4.48 dBi, 6.41 dBi and 6.65 dBi at the frequencies of 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.25 GHz and 5.77 GHz.

블루투스는 무선 홈 네트워킹을 구성하는 하나의 기술로 자리를 잡았지만, 기존의 홈 네트워킹을 구성하는 IRDA, 무선랜, Home RF, ZigBee 등에 비하여 블루투스 사용으로 인한 큰 이득이 없어 이용되지 않는 것이 현재 블루투스가 직면한 문제이다. 비슷한 통신반경을 지원하는 IRDA와 비교하면 가격과 전력소비에서 블루투스의 이점이 떨어지고, 다중 연결을 지원하는 장점에도 불구하고 10m 내의 전송 반경으로는(저 전력 사용 시) 집안을 전부 커버할 수 없기 때문에 무선랜에 비해 홈 네트워킹에서 이용성이 떨어지는 것이 사실이다. 하지만 이런 블루투스의 AD-HOC 라우팅을(1:1 혹은 1:다) 위한 블루투스 프로토콜 스택에 라우팅 프로토콜 스택을 추가함으로써 블루투스가 장착된 정보 가전기기는 주변으로부터 라우팅 정보를 수집하게 되고 라우팅 테이블을 구성할 수 있게 된다. 그러므로 전송 범위의 이상적인 설계에서 무선랜보다 넓어지게 되므로 홈 네트워킹에서 블루투스 사용의 단점이 보안됨은 물론 집안을 하나의 WEB처럼 구성할 수 있게 된다. 이에 다른 기술에 비한 저렴한 가격, 접속의 용이성, 저 전력 소비 둥과 같은 기존의 장점에 전송 거리의 단점이 보안된 블루투스 라우팅 프로토콜 기술은 IRDA, 무선랜보다 기술적 우위를 가짐으로써 홈 네트워킹에 적용이 많아지리라 예상할 수 있다. 더 나아가 블루투스 기술이 포함되어 있는 모바일 기기가 정점 늘어남에 따라 모바일 기기와의 연동에 의한 홈 네트워킹이 실생활에 적용되리라 예측되며, 집뿐만 아니라 어디에서나 다른 모바일 기기와 연결되어 네트워크를 이루는 유비쿼터스 네트워킹이 실현 될 수 있으리라 본다.-filtered CU)과는 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 결과적으로 제안된 방법은 전통적인 켑스트럴 평균 차감법에 기반하여 효과적인 채널 정규화가 가능하다는 것을 보였다.ttention since the operation of local autonomy in Korea.

In this paper, we have designed TDL(True-time Delay Line) for eliminating beam-squint occurring in active phased array antenna with large electrical size operated in wide bandwidth, and have tested its electrical performance. The proposed TDL device is composed of 4-bit microstrip delay line structure and MMIC amplifier for compensation of the delay-line loss. The measured results of gain and phase versus delay state satisfy the electrical requirements, also P1dB output power and noise figure meet the requirement. To verify the performance of fabricated TDL, we have simulated the beam patterns of wide-band active phased array antenna using the measured results and have certified the beam pattern compensation performance. As a result of simulated beam pattern compensation with respect to the 675.8 mm size antenna which is operated in X-band, 800 MHz bandwidth, we have reduced the beam squint error of ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ with ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}$. So this TDL module is able to be applied to active phase array antenna system.

In this paper, the small loop antenna with a parasitic loop structure for penta-band mobile phone application is proposed. This antenna is composed of a feed monopole, a radiating loop antenna with a parasitic loop structure and an additional radiating element. The antenna is printed on the very thin flexible substrate to mount on the dielectric carrier with a volume of 40 mm$\times$11 mm$\times$3 mm. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 402 MHz(773~1,175 MHz) for low band and 583 MHz(1,622~2,205 MHz) for high band. As a result, the proposed antenna covers the five bands of GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1,900 and WCDMA for a 3:1 VSWR. Moreover, the radiation pattern, gain and efficiency are appropriate for mobile handset. Therefore, this antenna is suitable for small sized multi-band mobile handset applications.

In this study, a simple method to estimate the soil water content variation in a wide area was proposed using hyperspectral near-infrared images. The reflectance data of a sand, granite soils, and a kaolinite were measured by reflecting the soil samples with different wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) regions using hyperspectral cameras. The measured reflectances and parameters were used to build a water content prediction model using the Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) analysis. In the water content prediction model, the Area of Reflectance (Near-infrared, NIR) parameter was the most suitable parameter to determine the water content. The parameter was applicable regardless of the soil type, as the coefficient of determination (R²) exceeded 0.9 for each soil sample. Additionally, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) was less than 15% when compared with the actual water content of the soil. Therefore, the predictability of water content variation for soils with water content lower than 50% was confirmed. Accordingly through this study, the predictability of water content variation in several soil types using the hyperspectral near-infrared images was confirmed. For further development, a model that incorporates soil classification would be required to improve the accuracy of the model and to predict higher range of water contents.

A conventional CBR channel is now capable of delivering several digitally compressed video programs due to recent advances in video compression, such as MPEG-2, and digital transmission technology. This paper presents a joint video coding scheme that is to maintain a constant sum of bit rates for all the programs but to allow the variable bit rate for individual program in the transimission environment mentioned above. Thus advantages of VBR video compression can be obtained. This paper contributes in two aspects. First, a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video is proposed, which enavle us predict the amount of bits and the distortion generated from an encoded picture at a given quantization step size and vice versa. The most attractive features of the proposed rate-distortion estimation method are its accuracy and a computational complexity low enough to be applied to real-time video coding applications. Second, this paper presents an efficient and accurate joint rate control scheme using the rate-distortion estimation results and verifies its performance with experiments. The experimental results show that our coding scheme gives a significant gain even though a small number of video programs are coded jointly. For example, a stable picture quality is maintained among the video programs as well as within a program, and additional extra programs can be transmitted over the same channel bandwidth if the proposed joint video coding scheme is used.
