To regain competitive advantages in the global textile industry the Korean textile firms need to strategically collaborate each other on developing partnership relations. This study, as a first step for developing a futuristic partnership between textile firms, examined the characteristics of current partnership relations among textile firms in Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. Data were obtained from 163 textile firms in the region by a questionnaire survey. More than a half of the textile firms had a partnership experience in product manufacturing and wanted to have one in product development. Partnerships with firms in the same sub-industry showed the highest frequency even though various pairs were observed. Length of partnership was related with the history and size of the firm but not with partnership performance. Partnership itself affected neither the firm's perception of its competitive power nor the perceived intensity of industry competition.

In this paper, we present a novel method to extract face representation based on multi-resolution spatial pyramid. In our method, a face is subdivided into increasingly finer sub-regions (local regions) and represented at multiple levels of histogram representations. To cope with misaligned problem, patch-based local descriptor extraction has been also developed in a novel way. To preserve multiple levels of detail in local characteristics and also encode holistic spatial configuration, histograms from all levels of spatial pyramid are integrated by using dimensionality reduction and feature combination, leading to our spatial-pyramid face feature representation. We incorporate our proposed face features into general face recognition pipeline and achieve state-of-the-art results on challenging face recognition problems.

Background: Cambaroides similis is an endangered candidate species living in the stream of South Korea. Freshwater crayfish is known to decline rapidly not only domestically, but also internationally. Its decline is projected to be further exacerbated due to climate change. Understanding physical characteristics of the habitat is crucial for the conservation of an organism. However, comprehensive data regarding the distribution and physical habitat characteristics of C. similis are currently unavailable in South Korea. Thus, the objective of this study was to ascertain preferred ranges for water depth, current velocity, and streambed substrate of C. similis using Weibull model. Results: In this study, C. similis was found at 59 sites across 12 regions in South Korea. Its optimal water depth preferences ranged from 11.9 cm to 30.1 cm. Its current velocity preferences ranged from 9.8 cm s^-1 to 29.1 cm s^-1. Its substrate preferences ranged from -5.1 𝜱_m to -2.5 𝜱_m. Median values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.4 cm, current velocity of 21.2 cm s^-1, and substrate of -4.1 𝜱_m. Mean values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.8 cm, current velocity of 22.0 cm s^-1, and substrate of -4.4 𝜱_m. Mode values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.7 cm, current velocity of 20.1 cm s^-1, and substrate of -3.7 𝜱_m. Conclusions: Based on habitat suitability analysis, physical microhabitat characteristics of C. similis within a stream were identified as Run section with coarse particle substrate, low water depth, and slow current velocity. Due to high sensitivity of these habitats to environmental changes, prioritized selection and assessment of threats should be carried out as a primary step.

본 연구는 2018년 4월부터 2022년 4월까지 Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2/3의 건조공기 이산화탄소 몰분율(column-averaged carbon dioxide dry-air mole fraction, XCO₂) 자료와 TROPOspheric monitoring instrument의 일산화탄소(carbon monoxide, CO) 및 이산화질소(nitrogen dioxide, NO₂) 연직컬럼농도(본 연구에서 XCO, XNO₂로 명명) 자료를 활용하여 한국과 중국의 도시 및 권역에 대해 CO와 CO₂, CO와 NO₂의 비율을 분석하고, 사회경제적 지표(인구, 차량 등록 대수, 지역내총생산)와 비율의 관계, 한국과 중국에서의 특성 차이를 제시하였다. 먼저 CO₂, CO 그리고 NO₂ 세 기체상 물질의 대기 중 체류시간 차이로 CO₂, CO는 배경값과 추세선을 제거한 ΔXCO₂, ΔXCO로 분석하였다. 지역별로 세 값을 비교한 결과 ΔXCO, ΔXCO₂는 중국 지역이 XNO₂는 한국 지역이 상대적으로 높은 값을 보였으며, 두 값의 비율(ΔXCO/ΔXCO₂, ΔXCO/XNO₂) 모두 한국보다 중국에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. ΔXCO/ΔXCO₂, ΔXCO/XNO₂와 사회경제적 지표는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 이는 도시 규모가 크고 경제활동이 활발할수록 대기오염기체 및 온실기체의 농도가 높다는 점을 시사한다. 한국과 중국의 비율 특성 차이를 분석하기 위해 두 나라의 지역별로 분석한 ΔXCO와 ΔXCO₂ 관계는 한국은 음의 관계성을 중국은 양의 관계성을 나타냈다. ΔXCO와 XNO₂의 상관성을 여름과 겨울에 대해 각각 살펴본 결과, 한국은 계절에 따른 ΔXCO 증감이 크지 않은 것에 비해 중국은 북동부 지역을 중심으로 계절에 따른 ΔXCO와 XNO₂의 증감이 크게 나타나며 관계성의 차이를 보였다. 이는 온실기체와 대기오염기체의 비율을 분석할 때, 계절 변동성 및 국가별 배출 특성을 감안해야 함을 시사한다.

In this paper we have introduced some results of study on stand growth pattern and stand structure of larch forest which are located in selected forest sites of Khangai and Gobi-Altai mountain ranges of Mongolia. Our investigations showed that growth intensity and stand structure in western Mongolia are very specific from the other forest vegetation zones of Mongolia. Studies on the stand structure and growth trend indicate that tree types of stand structure and different types of growth of Larix sibrica are very common in Western Mongolia. These peculiarities of stand structure and growth of larch stands in Western Monolia could be used for inventory work and an improvement of the forest management in Western Mongolian region. The larch tree is the dominant tree species in Western Mogolia. Forest cover of the region is about 15%, which is two times higher than the country's average. In this region forest area is divided into 4 forest sub-regions: the Central Khangai, Western Khangai, North Eastern Khangai and South Easterun Khangai sub-regions including taiga, pseudo taiga, sub taiga, sub-alpine and forest steppe belts. Silviculture practices and forest research management request to study forest growth trends in local and general conditions, which means to indicate a change of taxonomic characteristics of stand from time to time including diameter, height, basal area, growth stock etc. The forest management practice mostly uses tables of forest growth and yield based on the results of long term research on forest growth. Forest yield tables and other relevant forest standards of Russia are used for the forest inventory and forest management. They are not able to determine forest structure and growth peculiatities of Mongolian forests. Studies on forest resource assessment in Mongolia indicate that after logging operations and forest fires the natural regeneration of desired species such as pine and larch often does not succeed. This situation forces to take a different approach of forest management and silviculture practice depending on the stand structure and growth rate of the forest stands. According to our investigation in last years, forest growth pattern of larch forest depends mostly on stand structure, stand age and growth condition including forest soil, climate and location in different slopes. Due to improve environmental function of forest ecosystem in the region, it is needed to conduct very comprehensive study of high mountain forest ecosystem in selected sub-regions.

The growth charateristics and karyotypes of Aster spathulifolius collected from 5 sites including coastal and island region on the Korean peninsula, were analysed. Several morphological characteristics of the plants such as leaf length, leaf width, top internode, medium internode, spike branching, flower diameter, number of petal, leaf color, leaf form, stem and leaf hair, viscosity, and serration of the plants were distinctly different depending on the native region from which they were collected. Karyotypic analysis showed that the chromosome number was all diploid (2n=18), with one pair of submetacentric satellite chromosomes. The chromosome composition included 7 pairs of metacentric chromosomes and 2 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes in all plants. However, chromosome order and the ranges of the chromosome lengths were a little different from plant to plant according to their native growing regions. The plants from Geoje-Do especially showed large differences in the chromosome lengths between the longest and the shortest compared to the plants from other places. This results provide important data to support the classification of the species into several sub-species.

We focus on two Galactic molecular clouds that are located in wholly different environments and both are observed by FIMS instrument onboard STSAT-1. The Draco cloud is known as a translucent molecular cloud at high Galactic latitude. The FUV spectra show important ionic lines of C IV, Si IV+O IV], Si II* and Al II, indicating the existence of hot and warm interstellar gases in the region. The enhanced C IV emission inside the Draco cloud region is attributable to the turbulent mixing of the interacting cold and warm/hot media, which is supported by the detection of the O III] emission line and the $H{\alpha}$ feature in this region. The Si II* emission covers the remainder of the region outside the Draco cloud, in agreement with previous observations of Galactic halos. Additionally, the H2 fluorescent map is consistent with the morphology of the atomic neutral hydrogen and dust emission of the Draco cloud. In the Aquila Rift region near Galactic plane, FIMS observed that the FUV continuum emission from the core of the Aquila Rift suffers heavy dust extinction. The entire field is divided into three sub-regions that are known as the- "halo," "diffuse," and "star-forming" regions. The "diffuse" and "star-forming" regions show various prominent H2 fluorescent emission lines, while the "halo" region indicates the general ubiquitous characteristics of H2. The CLOUD model and the FUV line ratio are included here to investigate the physical conditions of each sub-region. Finally, the development of an infrared imaging system known as the MIRIS instrument onboard STSAT-3 is briefly introduced. It can be used in WIM studies through $Pa{\alpha}$ observations.

$TeO_x$ thin films were deposited at various $O_2$/Ar gas-flow ratios by a reactive RFmagneton sputtering technique from $TeO_2$ and Te targets. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that the $TeO_x$ thin films were amorphous. The structure and chemical composition of the $TeO_x$ thin films were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optical characteristics of the $TeO_x$ thin films were investigated by an Ellipsometer and a UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. According to the $O_2$/Ar gas-flow ratios, the atomic composition ratio of $TeO_x$ thin films was divided into two regions(x=1-2, 2-3). Different optical characteristics were shown in each region. With an increasing $O_2$/Ar gas-flow ratio, the refractive index of the $TeO_x$ thin films decreased and the optical bandgap of the films increased.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlations between the $PM_{10}$ concentration trend and meteorological elements in the Gimhae region and analyze the transportation routes of air pollutants through back-trajectory analysis. Among the air quality measuring stations in the Gimhae regions, the $PM_{10}$ concentration of the Sambangdong station was higher than that of the Dongsangdong station. Also, an examination of the relationships between $PM_{10}$ concentration and meteorological elements showed that the greater the number of yellow dust occurrence days was and the lower the temperature and precipitation were, the higher the $PM_{10}$ concentration appeared. Furthermore, a cluster analysis through the HYSPLIT model showed that there were 4 clusters of trajectories that flowed into the Gimhae region and most of them originated in China. The meteorological characteristics of the four clusters were analyzed and they were similar to those of the air masses that influence South Korea. These analyses found that meteorological conditions affect the $PM_{10}$ concentration.

The effect of process parameters on $H_2$ production from water vapor excited by HF ICP has been qualitatively examined for the first time. With the increase of ICP power, characteristics of $H_2$ production from $H_2O$ dissociation in plasma was divided into 3 regions according to both reaction mechanism and energy efficiency. At the edge of region (II) in the range of middle ICP power, energy effective hydrogen production from $H_2O$ plasma can be achieved. Furthermore, within the region (II) power condition, heating of substrate up to $500^{\circ}C$ shows additional increase of 70~80% in $H_2$ production compared to $H_2O$ plasma without substrate heating. This study have shown that combination of optimal plasma power (region II) and wall heating (around $500^{\circ}C$) is one of effective ways for $H_2$ production from $H_2O$.
