As field of application of AMI, AMR uses the power line as the primary means of communication. PLC has a big merit without installation of the new network for communication in a field using the power line which is the existing equipment. However, there is a serious obstacle in commercialization for the instability by noise and communication environment. Therefore, the technical method for maintaining the communication state which overcome such demerit and was stabilized is required essentially. PLC routing technology is applied with the alternative plan now. The routing technology currently managed by field includes many problems by applying the algorithm of an elementary level. PLC routing path search problem can be modeled with the problem of searching for optimal solution as similar to such as optimal routing problem and TSP(Travelling salesman problem). In this paper, in order to search for a PLC routing path efficiently and to choose the optimal path, GA(Genetic Algorithm) was applied. Although PLC was similar in optimal solution search as compared with typical GA, it also has a difference point by the characteristic of communication, and presented the new methodology over this. Moreover, the validity of application technology was verified by showing the experimental result to which GA is applied and analyzing as compared with the existing algorithm.

The Korean mobile telecommunication service market is faced with a tremendous competitive period, in which the market is entering into the maturity stage with launching of the 3rd generation service and with introduction of mobile number portability. In general, it is more important to sustain the old customers than to attracting new customers, as the life cycle of an industry is entering the maturity stage in which the growth rate of new customers is decreasing gradually or becoming stagnant. Until now, many researches had tested whether the customer satisfaction and loyalty were the core factors of sustaining customers or not. Also service quality and switching cost were given a remarkable attention for their possibility of exogenous factors, which could exercise effects to customer satisfaction and loyalty. In the same context, mobile telecommunication business has to seek a way to maintain the existing customers instead of promoting new customers. So this study investigates whether the service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication could have effects on the customer satisfaction and loyalty, which are recognized as an efficient means to sustain the current customers. In order to test the hypothesis on the effects of service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication to customer satisfaction and loyalty in Korean telecommunication industry, this study collected the questionnaire response data of students including middle and high school students and undergraduates, who are regarded as the major customers in that mobile telecommunication industry.

본 연구에서는 산림수확계획 수립에 있어 벌채지 선정에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있는 수확분배시뮬레이션 모델의 도입을 위한 사례연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 Gustafson과 Crow가 개발한 HARVEST를 산림수확 공간분배 모델로 선정하고 국립산림과학원의 광릉시험림을 대상으로 벌채구획의 면적제한, 벌채지 선정방법, 및 벌채지 연접제한과 같은 기본적인 산림수확 경영방침을 적용하여 모델의 적용성을 검토하였다. 연구결과 벌채 구획의 면적제한 조건의 경우 허용벌채면적이 커질수록 벌채구획의 수는 적어지고 벌채구획간의 거리는 멀어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 임의산개형, 군상형 군상택벌형 및 영급순 등 벌채임분의 선정방법을 달리하여 수확 시뮬레이션에 적용한 경우 군상택벌형을 제외하고 벌채구획의 크기와 개소 수는 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으나 벌채지간 거리에서 차이를 나타내었다. 벌채지의 연접제한은 이미 벌채된 임분 주변에서의 벌채를 제한하므로 벌채구획의 수를 증가시키는 효과를 나타냈다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합한 결과 HARVEST는 산림수확을 수행하는데 있어 다양한 경영목표에 따라 벌채구획의 수와 공간분포의 정도를 조절할 수 있는 효과적인 도구로 평가되었다.

X-ray grid is the most important means to reduce the scattered ray from patients, but alternative way is air gap technique that is another name of Groedel technique. This technique is mainly used in chest radiography. Authors performed an experimental study on the air gap technique for chest radiography and obtained the results as follows; 1. In using the high voltage air technique, scattered ray could be reduced effectively, while the percentage of scattered ray was slightly increased than conventional grid technique. 2. In film contrast, 30cm air gap technique was inferior to 12:1 grid technique and contrast improvement was increased when the object was thicker and higher voltage was used. 3. The patient exposure dose was reduced about $25{\sim}45%$ compared with conventional grid technique by air gap technique used.

본 연구는 다중판별분석(MDA)에서 필요한 변수선택기준을 베이즈접근법으로 제안하였다. 이 베이즈판별변수 선택기준은 여러 정규모집단분포의 평균벡터에 대한 동질성 검정에 필요한 디폴터형태의 베이즈요인을 객관적 베이즈방법으로 유도하여 설정하였다. 디폴트베이즈요인(default Bayes factor)은 Spiegelhalter와 Smith (1982)가 계발한 가상적트레이닝표본법(imaginary training sample method)을 사용하여서 도출하였다. 또한 제안된 베이즈판별변수선택 기준이 지닌 분포의 성질을 이용하여, 추가 판별변수(또는 변수군)가 MDA에 기여하는 부가적인 판별력에 대한 검정법 및 추가판별변수(또는 변수군)의 선택 기준에 대해서도 논하였다. 본 연구에서 새로이 얻은 변수선택기준은 최적부분집합선택법(optimal subset selection method)뿐 아니라 각 단계적방법(stepwise method)의 변수선택기준으로 사용될 수 있으며, 두 그룹 판별분석에도 사용이 가능하다는 점에서 표본이론에 의해 여러 형태로 개발된 기존의 판별변수 선택 기준들을 하나로 통합시킬 수 있는 기능을 지니고 있다. 모의실험을 실시하여 최적 부분집합선택법과 단계적방법하에서 제안된 판별변수선택 기준이 가진 효용성을 평가하였다.

고속도로 이용자의 상당부분이 단거리통행이고 단거리통행은 대부분 도시권역 주변의 통행으로 통행목적이나 대체도로의 유무 등 특성상 장거리통행에 비해 쉽게 대체노선으로 전환될 수 있다. 따라서 현재 고속도로에서는 최저요금제와 장거리할인제 등 수요관리 측면의 요금체계를 적용하여 단거리통행을 억제하고 장거리통행을 장려하고 있다. 그러나 현재 시행중인 수요관리 요금체계는 그 기준거리들이 정책적 판단으로 결정되었기 때문에 수요관리의 효과를 극대화시키지 못하고 있으며, 일부 민원제기에도 효과적으로 대처하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현행 고속도로 수요관리요금체계의 문제점을 검토$.$분석하고 이의 합리적이고 과학적인 개선방안을 수렴시킨 요금체계 결정방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구의 방법은 기 개발된 통행료를 반영한 경로기반 배정모형과 고속도로 수요관리 요금체계 결정방안에 대한 효과분석 및 평가를 서울-대전간 고속도로망과 병행하는 대체도로망에서 수행하고, 최종적으로 고속도로 수요관리 요금정책의 새로운 기준거리를 도출하고자 총 사회적 비용 최소화와 통행료수입 최대화의 관점에서 최저요금 기준거리와 장거리할인 기준거리를 분석한다.

Stiffeners can be utilised to enhance the strength of thin-walled wind turbine towers in engineering practise, thus, structural performance of wind turbine towers by means of different stiffening schemes should be compared to explore the optimal structural enhancement method. In this paper two alternative stiffening methods, employing horizontal or vertical stiffeners, for steel tubular wind turbine towers have been studied. In particular, two groups of three wind turbine towers of 50m, 150m and 250m in height, stiffened by horizontal rings and vertical strips respectively, were analysed by using FEM software of ABAQUS. For each height level tower, the mass of the stiffening rings is equal to that of vertical stiffeners each other. The maximum von Mises stresses and horizontal sways of these towers with vertical stiffeners is compared with the corresponding ring-stiffened towers. A linear buckling analysis is conducted to study the buckling modes and critical buckling loads of the three height levels of tower. The buckling modes and eigenvalues of the 50m, 150m and 250m vertically stiffened towers were also compared with those of the horizontally stiffened towers. The numbers and central angles of the vertical stiffeners are considered as design variables to study the effect of vertical stiffeners on the structural performance of wind turbine towers. Following an extensive parametric study, these strengthening techniques were compared with each other and it is obtained that the use of vertical stiffeners is a more efficient approach to enhance the stability and strength of intermediate and high towers than the use of horizontal rings.

Background and Objectives: Genomic imprinting is an inheritance phenomenon by which a subset of genes are expressed from one allele of two homologous chromosomes in a parent of origin-specific manner. Even though fine-tuned regulation of genomic imprinting process is essential for normal development, no other means are available to study genomic imprinting in human during embryonic development. In relation with this bottleneck, differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into specialized lineages may be considered as an alternative to mimic human development. Methods and Results: In this study, hESCs were differentiated into three lineage cell types to analyze temporal and spatial expression of imprinted genes. Of 19 imprinted genes examined, 15 imprinted genes showed similar transcriptional level among two hESC lines and two human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines. Expressional patterns of most imprinted genes were varied in progenitors and fully differentiated cells which were derived from hESCs. Also, no consistence was observed in the expression pattern of imprinted genes within an imprinting domain during in vitro differentiation of hESCs into three lineage cell types. Conclusions: Transcriptional expression of imprinted genes is regulated in a cell type- specific manner in hESCs during in vitro differentiation.

Textile dyes are some of the pollutants which have received the most attention because of the large volume of wastewater generated by the textile industry. Removal by means of adsorption is one of the most versatile alternatives to treat these effluents. Even though different adsorbents such as activated carbons and mineral materials have been proposed, polymeric adsorbents are a viable alternative. This work reports for the first time the use of polyelectrolyte PTZ and macroelectrolyte MTZ containing tetrazole groups as adsorbents useful in the textile dyes removal present in aqueous solutions and wastewater. Because of the anionic character of the tetrazole group, MTZ exhibits selective adsorption capabilities for cationic dyes of up to $156.25mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$. The kinetic study of the process of adsorption shows that PTZ and MTZ fit a pseudo second-order model. MTZ also shows utility as a flocculant agent in the treatment of wastewater containing dyes Indigo Blue and Reactive Black. The results showed that PTZ and MTZ may be used in the treatment of wastewater in a process of coagulation-flocculation followed by the treatment by adsorption. This two-stage treatment removed up to 95% of the dye present in the wastewater. As well as removing the dyes, the values for COD, suspended solids, pH, and color of the wastewater decreased, thus significantly improving its quality.
