Using Megabalanus rosa a sessile filterfeeder, its scope for growth (SFG) by analysis of energy budget were examined and free amino acids composition of whole body tissue were analyzed under the exposure to different concentrations of Hg Cu and Cd. The $96\;hr-LC_{50}$ of the barnacle after 96 hr exposure to Hg, Cu, and Cd were 0.220, 0.269 and $1.380\;mgL^{-1}$, respectively. Hg and Cu showed stronger toxicity than Cd, while Hg and Cu had similar influence on the survival of the barnacle. SFG of the barnacles exposed to sublethal concentrations of mercury was 18.936 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}$ in control group and as increase of mercury concentration the SFG remarkably reduced to 0.041 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}\;at\;0.1\;mgL^{-1}$ concentration of Hg. In the case of Cu, the SFG was 29.841 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}$ in control group and as increase of concentration, the SFG remarkably reduced to -8.304 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}\;at\;0.1\;mgL^{-1}$ concentration. In Cd the SFG was 15.852 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}$ in control group, and as increasing concentration, the SFG remarkably reduced to -19.490 $Jgdrywt.^{-1}hr^{-1}\;at\;0.1\;mgL^{-1}.$ Content of free amino acid (FAA) of whole body tissue of the barnacle was 45084 $mgkg^{-1}$ in control group, but it was reduced remarkably to 28,130, 37,500 and 37,106 $mgkg^{-1}$ at 0.1 $mgL^{-1}$ concentration of Hg and Cu, and 0.4 $mgL^{-1}$of Cd, respectively. Sum of threonine + serine was 1,334 $mgkg^{-1}$ if control but reduced remarkably to 1,223, 849 and 888 $mgkg^{-1}$ at 0.1 $mgL^{-1}$ of Hg and Cu, and 0.4 $mgL^{-1}$ of Cd, respectively.

Now that fiscal soundness is increasingly important influenced by the euro area fiscal crisis, early budget execution has been under the spotlight as a tool for economy control, other than typical expansionary method, such as supplementary budget. Basically, early budget execution is a fiscal policy instrument that reponses to economic fluctuations through modifying the inter-temporal allocation of fiscal expenditure within budget, without affecting fiscal soundness. This study empirically examines how effective the intert-temporal reallocation of fiscal expenditure is in economy control. Using Korea's Consolidated Fiscal data, the size of inter-temporal reallocation of fiscal expenditure is defined as changes of fiscal expenditure for one year excluding seasonal factors and used to explain real economic growth rate, a dependent variable. The result shows that the macroeconomic effect of the inter-temporal reallocation turns out meaningful in general, though some policy time lag exists. Meanwhile, a simulation using macroeconomic model finds that overall effect on economic growth is not large because increase in fiscal expenditure allocation at a certain point of time is canceled by the opposite direction within the same fiscal year. However, the inter-temporal reallocation is found to reduce volatility of key macroeconomic variables so as to contribute to partially stabilizing macroeconomy. In particular, such effect of economic stabilization seems to be highly apparent at the time of financial crisis, but not very noticeable in normal economic cycle.

The design on the Telemetry Ground System for launch of KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle) in the korean Space center has been conducted in this study. For the optimized system design, first of all, the system deployment plan reflecting the topographic and geographic environments of the space center and launch vehicle characteristics has been developed. The RF link budget analysis for the maximum tracking range, requirement for receiving subsystem including antenna subsystem, requirement for data processing subsystem are also analyzed based on the On-Board Telemetry characteristics and launch vehicle parameters. Based on those analysis, telemetry ground system containing tracking/receiving subsystem, recording subsystem and data processing subsystem, timing subsystem, calibration subsystem and monitoring and control subsystem are designed. Futhermore, the analysis for the maximum permissible data latency and communication protocol between each telemetry station and control center are conducted and the entire system is designed so that the major telemetry parameters selected to the best quality are provided in real time to the control center(RCC, RSC) for the launch mission operation.

Purpose: To identify the effects on tuberculosis mortality of a tuberculosis control program conducted at 108 community health centers in terms of structure and process. Methods: The dependent variable was tuberculosis mortality, and the independent variables were the structure(type of centers, staff, nurses, doctors, budget) and process(chest X-ray checking, immunization, case detection, health education, patients registering & managing) of the tuberculosis control programs at the community health centers. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and stepwise regression analysis. Result: Tuberculosis morality was positively correlated with type of centers(rural area)(p<0.01), but negatively correlated with type of centers(large cities) (p<0.01), (middle cities)(p<0.05), staff FTE(p<0.05), and number of nurses(p<0.05). Regression analysis indicated that type of centers(rural area)($\beta$=0.457) and case detection($\beta$=0.234) had a significant effect on tuberculosis mortality. Conclusion: Ultimately, this study will provide information to improve the effectiveness of tuberculosis control programs in community health centers.

This paper focuses on recovering systematic biases during LIDAR calibration, particularly using natural surfaces as control features. Many previous approaches have utilized all the points overlapping with the control features and often experienced with an inaccurate value converged with a poor rate due to wrong correspondence in pairing a point and the corresponding control features. To overcome these shortcomings, we establish a preventive scheme to select the pairs of high confidence, where the confidence value is based on the error budget associated with the point measurement and the linearity and roughness of the control feature. This approach was then applied to calibraring the LIDAR data simulated with the given systematic biases. The parameters were successfully recovered using the proposed approach with the accuracy and convergence rate superior to those using the previous approaches.

This study presented problems and improvements in the quality control of an air monitoring network, using Gyeongnam as an example. 1) The effective utilization rate of the air monitoring was 95%, which showed good management, but the maximum of 2% was indicated by zero or detection limit among measurement data. 2) In the equivalence evaluation of PM_2.5, the slope and intercept satisfy the evaluation criteria; however, 1% of the PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratios were outliers. 3) All air monitoring stations meet the quality control standards; however, the management status is added to the quality inspection, management system is unified and the related budget is expanded, and systematic commission management is required.

In this paper, an efficient rate control algorithm based on rate prediction is proposed for maintaining a smooth buffer variation and a small buffer size. The proposed method adjusts the quantization scaling factor by using the predicted bit-rate to meet the target bit budget exactly. Experimental result show that the proposed prediction-based rate control scheme can regulate the bit-rate across scene changes more effectively and achieve better PSNR performance than existing rate control mechanisms such as the MPEG-2 Test Model 5 (TM5) and the Adaptive Scene Analysis (ASA).

The budgets of fresh water, salt and nutrients were estimated in order to clarify the characteristics of material cycle in the Gamak Bay in 2006 with Simple Box budget Model. Outflow volume of freshwater into system was approximately $-174.2{\sim}72.5{\times}10^3m^3/day$. Inflow masses of DIP and DIN were approximately 397.0~1158 mole/day and 1750~8328 mole/day, respectively. The Source or sink of DIP was under the control of the variation of fresh water budget in the system. the mass balance and NEM was largely determined by flushing time of material.

The current exploratory study presents the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential decision-making method to obtain the relative weights of alternatives through pairwise comparison in the context of hierarchical structure. The aim of this study was to elicit prior strategy to improve army military foodservice. Content analysis and seven times of in-depth interview from 13 officers of the Ministry of National Defense were conducted to develop the hierarchical structure for AHP analysis. Questionnaires were distributed to 61 foodservice managers and 39 dietitian and military foodservice officers. The highest-ranked strategy for improving military foodservice was the 'renewal of the kitchen facilities' (0.2578), followed by 'enlargement of foodservice operating staffs' (0.2345), 'specialization of sanitation & foodservice management' (0.2222), 'Practical foodservice budget control' (0.1394), and 'menu variety & standardized recipe' (0.1281). 'Enlargement of foodservice facilities' (0.3995), 'increase the no. of kitchen police' (0.3463), 'sanitary & cooking training reinforcement of kitchen police' (0.4445), 'management of foodservice budget by total amount' (0.5043), and 'standardization of mass cooking' (0.3571) were the highest overweight item in each strategy. The study also compared the relative weights of alternatives of foodservice managers with that of dietitians and military foodservice officers. Those two groups revealed some difference in their priority of important strategy regarding army military foodservice. The results of this study would provide the data for making a policy or compilation of the budget regarding army military foodservice.

Lycorma delicatula, known as spotted lanternfly, is a planthopper native to Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, India and South China. This species damages local fruit trees and has spread rapidly in South Korea in recent years. The purpose of this study is to present the methods and estimation results pertaining to the risk of invasive species like Lycorma delicatula. We used a partial budget (PB) method to assess direct income reduction of farm households and a partial equilibrium (PE) model to examine social welfare change from the outbreak of Lycorma delicatula. We also estimated the future economic impacts of Lycorma delicatula under various climate scenarios considering habitat suitability. As climate change progresses, domestic ecosystems are expected to become increasingly vulnerable to pest outbreaks leading to further economic damage. We believe that this study can be a base to evaluate efficiency of the national pest control and quarantine system.
