The purpose of this study is to investigate the applications of Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) into MIS area in recent years. Two methodologies, Lisrel and PLS, are adopted for the method comparison. A research model, based upon TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) is used for the analysis of the data set of a previous study. The research model includes six research variables that are composed of twenty-eight question items. 272 data are used for data analyses through Lisrel v.8.72 and Visual PLS v.1.04. This study shows the statistical results of Lisrel are the same to those of PLS. The contribution of this study can be suggested as the followings; (1) A theoretical comparison of two methodologies is shown, (2) A statistical analysis is done at a real-situated data set, and (3) Several implications are suggested.

In the Pohang Light Source (PLS), a major upgrade (PLS-II) of existing machine had been performed in last 3 years. Big improvements in beam parameters are expected from this major upgrade and various diagnostic instruments were installed to measure them. These include beam position monitor, beam current monitor, tune monitor, scraper, beam loss monitor, photon beam monitor, beam size monitor, streak camera, and so on. In this work, we would like to briefly introduce diagnostic instruments of the PLS-II and present measurement results in the commissioning process of the PLS-II.

PLS-II 저장링 진공시스템은 2011년 6월 설치 완료 후 2011년 7월부터 2012년 초 까지 1차 시운전을 마쳤다. PLS-II 저장링 진공시스템은 누적 전류 50 Ah 운전 후, 3 GeV, 400 mA 전자빔 운전 시 평균 진공도 $2{\times}10^{-9}$ mbar를 유지도록 설계되어 빔-기체 산란 수명을 20 시간 이상 확보하도록 설계하였다. 지금까지의 간략한 운전 이력과 진공시스템의 성능을 보고하고 최근 방사광 가속기에서 중요하게 취급하는 진공용기(특히, 빔전류 측정 진공용기)의 기계적 안정도, 변위 등과 BPM TE mode noise suppression 등을 보고하고자 한다.

우리나라 최초의 거대과학 장치인 포항방사광가속기(PLS)는 지난 16년(1994~2010) 동안 국내외 이용자에게 제3세대 방사광을 제공했다. 최초 2기의 빔라인을 시작으로 꾸준하게 빔라인 증설과 성능개선을 위해 노력해 왔다. 지속해서 늘어나는 방사광 이용자 수와 더욱더 좋은 수준의 방사광 요구에 부응하기 위하여 2009년부터 3년 동안 가속장치의 성능향상사업(PLS-II)을 마쳤다. PLS-II는 PLS 대비에너지와 빔전류는 3 GeV, 400 mA로 늘리는 반면 빔의 크기는 크게 줄이고 빔안정성을 개선한 고품질 X-선 방사광 발생장치이다. 2012년부터 16기의 삽입장치 빔라인을 포함한 30기의 빔라인을 가동하여 이용자 지원을 하고 있으며 초전도케비티 설치를 포함한 목표 성능의 확보에도 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 현재는 6 nm-rad의 빔에 미턴스, 3-GeV전자빔, 약 0.5 ${\mu}m-rms$ 빔안정도를 가진 200 mA Top-up 운전으로 빔을 제공 하고 있으며 2014년 말에는 저장전류 400 mA급의 PLS-II 목표치로 운전할 계획이다. 본 발표에서는 포항가속기의 25년 역사를 돌아보고 가속장치의 건설에 얽힌 이야기, 중요장치 그리고 운전과 빔제공에 관한 내용, 특히 핵심 운전가치인 빔안정성을 개선하고 유지하기 위한 노력을 빔운전 측면과 진공을 포함한 엔지지어링 측면에서 언급하고자 한다. PLS 건설부터 현재 운용 중인 30기의 빔라인에서 수행된 연구 성과의 통계에 대하여 훑어보고 X-선 산란과 광전자분광을 이용한 구조, 성분 및 물성분석, 그리고 이미징 등의 분야에서 나온 탁월한 연구 결과를 살펴본다. 앞으로 건설될 신규 빔라인과 빔라인의 향후 운영 방향을 소개한다. 마지막으로 지금 포항가속기연구소에서 건설 중인 제4세대 가속기(X-선 자유전자레이저) 프로젝트의 개요 및 건설 현황과 함께 앞으로 기대되는 새로운 과학에 대하여도 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in the remodecycling options of idle spaces around the central city through the urban regeneration. Various studies to create new added value through this way are ongoing. This study aims to analyze the impact relationship and structure on the regeneration of idle space by types affecting the quality of residents' life and local economy revitalization. The hypothesis was verified by a suitability test for setting the hypothesis and statistical significance test from the PLS 3.0 package. The results of this study drew 6 hypotheses from a total of 11 on the 'idle space regeneration of economy based type of PLS-SEM' and 4 hypotheses from a total of 11 on the 'idle space regeneration of neighborhood regeneration type PLS-SEM'. The results can be summarized into several parts. First, if cultural aspects should be considered, the regeneration of idle space (economy-based type and neighborhood-regeneration type) could meet 2 parts, such as the quality of residents' life and local economy revitalization at the same time. Second, improving the 'physical aspects' only affects the 'idle space regeneration of the economy-based type of PLS-SEM'. Third, improving the 'social aspects' only affects the 'idle space regeneration of neighborhood regeneration type of PLS-SEM'. This study has significance in that it provides the empirical analysis for the regeneration of idle space and there are differences according to types of PLS structural model.

PLS 2GeV 선형가속기 진공계는 K6 가속단위까지 성공적으로 조립, 설치되어 있다. K3 가속단위까지는 이미 E3712형 클라이스트론에서 공급되는 70MW 극초단파 전력으로 진공계 길들이기 과정을 완료하였다. 약 50MW의 극초단파 전력을 인가한 상태에서, 현재 진공도는 L-형 가속관 중심에서 6.2$\times$10-8torr, 클라이스트론 출력창에서 7.3$\times$10-9torr를 각각 유지하고 있으며, 최종 도달압력은 점차적으로 향상되고 있는 중이다. 본 논문에서는 PLS 2 GeV 선형가속기 진공계에 대한 전기회로적 변환에 의한 모델링과 해석, 그리고 가속기 전반부에 관한 초기 성능 검증결과를 논의하고자 한다.

The root of Paeonia lactiflora has been used in Chinese medicine. We conducted to check the comparative qualities of ethanol solvent extraction (PLE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (PLS) of P. lactiflora root. PLE had higher antioxidant and polyphenol contents than PLS. But, PLS were significantly increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α. In addition, PLS inhibited the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. When treated with the extract at a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway reporter luciferase activity of HEK 293-TOP cells increased approximately by 3-folds compared to that of the untreated control group. These results indicate that P. lactiflora supercritical carbon dioxide extract may serve as a cosmeceutical for improving skin barrier function and the treatment of obesity.

The effects of column length and particle size on the efficiency of separation and characterization of phospholipids (PLs) are investigated using nanoflow liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS-MS). Since PLs are associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis, and signal transduction, it is of increasing interests in lipidomics to establish reliable analytical methods for the qualitative and quantitative profiling of PLs related to biomarker development in adult diseases. Due to the complexity of PLs, the preliminary separation of PLs is necessary prior to MS analysis. In this study, length of capillary column and the particle size of reversed phase ($C_{18}$) packing materials are varied to find a reliable condition for the high speed and high resolution separation using 8 PL standard mixtures. From experiments, it was found that a capillary column of nLC-ESI-MS-MS analysis for PL mixtures can be minimized to a 5 cm long pulled tip column packed with 3 ${\mu}m$ $C_{18}$ particles without losing resolution.

The Pohang Light Source (PLS) - II is a 3 GeV third-generation synchrotron radiation facility. To inject electron beam from LINAC, a kicker modulator system and kicker magnets are installed in the PLS-II storage ring tunnel. The injected beam then falls into the storage ring beam dynamic aperture. This paper describes the design and implementation of the solid-state kicker modulator for PLS-II. The solid-state kicker modulator is consisted of high voltage solid state switch stacks. the technical considerations of the solid-state switch stacking for kicker modulator is discussed. The achieved capability of the solid-state kicker modulator demonstrates that is fulfills the design requirement of providing half-sine pulsed current of 10kA (peak), 6us (Base-width), with jitter < 2ns (Standard deviation). simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the solid-state kicker modulator.

A freight forwarder plays an important role in global trade and logistics by connecting worldwide nodes such as shippers, ports, and airports. Most freight forwarders in Korea are small and do not provide a sophisticated and professional service. This study aims to develop a strategy for Korean freight forwarders to the world-class 3PLs which they have to establish the strategy on how shippers select their freight forwarders. We conducted a higher-order factor analysis using the PLS-SEM techniques on the SmartPLS program to confirm the importance and significance of each factor, while considering relevant previous research. The findings suggested that shippers chose their freight forwarders for international logistics activities primarily by the reliability and forwarder service factors. Therefore, freight forwarders in Korea have to strengthen confidence and widen their service to shippers in order to become leading logistics companies.
