In order to reduce marine accidents, each contracting Government needs to implement the instruments enacted and amended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The III Code requires each administration of the government to have a system for improvement through periodic review and evaluation and to include performance indicators in its evaluation methods. Thus, each IMO Member State needs to develop its own performance indicators. The purpose of this paper is to develop and present an evaluation model using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in order to quantify and evaluate the level of implementation of the instruments by the administrations. From the perspective of 'III-BSC', which applies the BSC concept to the III code requirements, the Critical Success Factors (CSF) that must be secured to achieve the established vision were drawn up, and candidate KPIs for each evaluation area were developed to measure the derived key success factors and an initial study model was designed composed of four levels. The validity of the KPIs was verified and the study model was finalized using the survey design using the SMART technique. Furthermore, based on the developed study model, an evaluation model for the implementation of the BSC-based IMO instruments was developed by deriving the weights of elements for each level through AHP analysis. The developed evaluation model is expected to contribute toward improving the administrations' level of implementation of the IMO instruments as a tool for quantitatively grasping the level of performance of the implementation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to propose contrast metric which is based on the human visual perception and thus it can be used to improve the quality of digital images in many applications. Methods: Previous literatures are surveyed, and then the proposed method is modeled based on Human Visual System(HVS) such as multiscale property of the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), contrast constancy property (suprathreshold), color channel property. Furthermore, experiments using digital images are shown to prove the effectiveness of the method. Results: The results of this study are as follows; regarding the proposed contrast measure of complex images, it was found by experiments that HVS follows relatively well compared to the previous contrast measurement. Conclusion: This study shows the effectiveness on how to measure the contrast of complex images which follows human perception better than other methods.

The present paper presents a numerical study on multiphase flows induced by wall adhesion. The continuum surface force (CSF) model with the wall adhesion boundary condition model is used for calculating the surface tension force; this model is implemented in an in-house solution code (PowerCFD). The present method (code) employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with a volume capturing method (CICSAM) in a volume of fluid (VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. The effects of wall adhesion are then numerically simulated by using the present method for a shallow pool of water located at the bottom of a cylindrical tank with no external forces such as gravity. Two different cases are computed, one in which the water wets the wall and one in which the water does not wet the wall. It is found that the present method efficiently simulates the surface tension-dominant multiphase flows induced by wall adhesion.

In recent years, Ubiquitous City (u-City), the integrated and convergence of ubiquitous services, infrastructure, technologies and city management of the new future development city, is being initiated by the Korean government and local authorities as their new national growth engine. However, a performance measurement system for evaluating and monitoring the impacts of U-City implementation is yet to be established. This paper aims to develop an integrated performance management system (PMS) and extensively used as a tool for managing performance activities to support the visions and goals of the u-City operations. Based on current reviews on the literature and interviews with experts drew Critical Success Factors (CSF) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) by four different measurement domains including U-City services, infrastructure, technologies, management and developed into an integrated performance measurement system based on the Balanced Scored Card (BSC) perspective. The system also provides number of examples of 'u-City Strategy Map' which illustrates a causal relationship between CSFs to execute u-City visions and goals.

The purpose of this study is to maximize project efficiencies in construction management by analyzing hierarchical factors that effect in project supervision system, and consequently constructing managerial CSF(Critical Success Factors). For this study, the tools for evaluating operating and management abilities of site engineers are built from analyzing status and issues, deducing influence factors and rating cardinal scales of these factors from survey results. These evaluation tools are reflected to the construction supervision decision making process so that can improve project management effectiveness.

Structural MRI(sMRI) imaging is used to extract morphometric features after Grey Matter (GM), White Matter (WM) for several univariate and multivariate method, and Cerebro-spinal Fluid (CSF) segmentation. A new approach is applied for the diagnosis of very mild to mild AD. We propose the classification method of Alzheimer disease patients from normal controls by combining morphometric features and Gaussian Mixture Models parameters along with MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) score. The combined features are fed into Multi-kernel SVM classifier after getting rid of curse of dimensionality using principal component analysis. The experimenral results of the proposed diagnosis method yield up to 96% stratification accuracy with Multi-kernel SVM along with high sensitivity and specificity above 90%.

This study attempted to measure the usefulness and success of technology information management system, by analysing the cases of the enterprises and R&D institutes with respect to information management practices. It also presented an conceptual model for technology information management on the basis of general recognition and views of information managers as well as analysis of Critical Success Factors(CSFs) of technology information management, which may be a guide post for a systematic information management.

본 논문은 human visual system(HVS)에 따른 주파수 민감도와 공간에서 다양한 특성들을 구현하기 위한 신호처리 방법을 개발하였다. 인간의 눈은 주파수 성분에 따라 민감도가 다르며 초점에서 멀수록 인지 가능한 해상도가 떨어진다. 주파수 민감도를 구현하기 위해서 본 논문은 영상 신호의 에너지 스펙트럼 모양이 contrast sensitivity function(CSF)의 모양이 되도록 하여 영상 신호의 에너지를 증가시켰으며 신호 방향에 적응적인 multiband energy scaling 방법을 개발하였다. 기존의 시스템에서 능률만을 향상시키는 기존의 분석 모델과 비교하면 개발한 방법은 HVS에 좀 더 적절하고 선호되게 영상 신호를 처리할 수 있다.
