This paper presents an efficient algorithm for converting the boundary representation of a polyhedron to its corresponding octree representation which is convenient for detecting intersection between objects. In order to determine the states of octants efficiently and quickly, our algorithm consists of three basic processes which use the bounding box, the infinite plane and the projection. In our conversion algorithm, the states of octants are determined by performing one of these three processes according to the intersecting pattern of an octant with a polyhedron, instead of by performing only a face-to-face intersection test repeatedly. In particular, states of 8 suboctants are determined completely by performing the process using only the infinite plane, when the given octant is intersected with only a patch of the polyhedron. Finally, by using a 3D display method and a volume ratio method, it is confirmed that the octree converted by out algorithm is accurate. It is also confirmed that the conversion time is reduced in our algorithm.

In this paper, the circuit models of optical to electrical(O/E) characteristics of waveguide photodiode(WGPD) submodule are examined. Test structures of WGPD and WGPD submodule were fabricated and S21 parameter was measured to characterize the O/E conversion property. Valid circuit models were derived by RF circuit simulation and O/E characteristics were modeled to analyze the effects of model parameters on the WGPD submodule performances. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the suggested WGPD submodule model can explain the characteristics of the O/E conversion of WGPD submodule, where the parasitic components originated from ribbon bonding block crucially influence on the performance of WGPD submodule, are able to show more efficient property by making compact bonding structure. We propose an effective WGPD submodule bonding structure and it can ensure the 40Gbps operation of WGPD.

In this paper, we propose query restructure method which realizes not only to present the result from database in Web page but also to adapt user's browsing environments. Recently, wireless PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and portable phone and terminals equipped with Web browser become very popular. Various browsers would be required to create the HTML which adapt to the user's browsing environment. We propose an adaptive data presentation system which is an extension of SQL which creates HTML pages dynamically adapting to the size of screen. In our proposed method, the three basic rules for the layout conversion are provided and applying these rules, an efficient layout conversion technique optimized to user environment is proposed. Moreover, we propose a standard for converting layouts and a layout optimization for adaptive conversion of layouts.

Cross-linked polystyrene supported aluminium triflate (Ps-Al(OTf)$_3$) was found to be an efficient and chemoselective heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst for the direct conversion of arenes to sulfones using sulfonic acids as sulfonylating agents. The solid acid catalyst is stable (as a bench top catalyst) and can be easily recovered and reused without appreciable change in its efficiency.

Using good properties of an optimal normal basis of type I in a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$, we present a design of a bit serial multiplier of Berlekamp type, which is very effective in computing $xy^2$. It is shown that our multiplier does not need a basis conversion process and a squaring operation is a simple permutation in our basis. Therefore our multiplier provides a fast and an efficient hardware architecture for a bit serial multiplication of two elements in ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$.

When physical distribution cost can be correctly measured, its management can also be efficient. Thus the primary objective of the study is to develop systems for measuring correctly physical distribution cost. The systems have two aspects : the One is the consumption of the resourses(materials, labor service, the other services), the other is the creation of physical distribution services(transportation, storage, cargo, packing, distribution conversion, management). By measuring the cost through the systems, the commoditization of the physical distribution services is possible and measurement of the cost and revenue can also be reasonable ,which makes its management efficient.

Due to the advance of technology, the technology of various media is rapidly converged into digital technology. However, the conversion into digital radio is not achieved in korea yet. This paper is to suggest the best method of digital conversion of radio in korea by examining some conversion examples in foreign countries. In addition, the survey results on radio audience attitude is analysed by 2,000 audience samples in Korea based on the literature analysis. Radio is the unique media which have the strengths such as mobility, individuality, presence, broad coverage and instant. Most of all, radio cannot help keeping continuously the public broadcasting service in the future. So, the conversion into digital radio is crucial to sustain the competitiveness in digital media environment. This paper suggested that the digital conversion of radio broadcasting needs DRM transmission and should pursuit the policy which is distinguished between a AM and a standard FM, and between domestic broadcast and an international broadcast. Additionally, this paper proposed that we need to develop the multiple device for receiving of signal and the setting of standard technology.

Recently, in the mobile device, the increase of the need for encoding and decoding of high-resolution images requires an efficient implementation of the image codec. This paper proposes a time-optimized color conversion method for the JPEG decoder, which reduces the number of calculations in the color conversion by the rearrangement of arithmetic operations being possible due to the linearity of the IDCT and the color conversion matrices and brings down the time complexity of the color conversion itself by the integer mapping replacing floating-point operations to the optimal fixed-point shift and addition operations, eventually reducing the time complexity of the JPEG decoder. And the proposed method compensates a decline of image quality incurred by the quantification error of the operation arrangement and the integer mapping by using the multi-mode chrominance reconstruction. The performance evaluation performed on the development platform of embedded systems showed that, compared to previous color conversion methods, the proposed method greatly reduces the image decoding time, minimizing the distortion of decoded images.

Purpose: This paper analyzed alternative methods of calculating the conversion factor for nurse-midwife's delivery services in the national health insurance and estimated the optimal reimbursement level for the services. Methods: A cost accounting model and Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) model were developed to estimate the conversion factor of Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) for nurse-midwife's services, depending on the scope of revenue considered in financial analysis. The data and sources from the government and the financial statements from nurse-midwife clinics were used in analysis. Results: The cost accounting model and SGR model showed a 17.6-37.9% increase and 19.0-23.6% increase, respectively, in nurse-midwife fee for delivery services in the national health insurance. The SGR model measured an overall trend of medical expenditures rather than an individual financial status of nurse-midwife clinics, and the cost analysis properly estimated the level of reimbursement for nurse-midwife's services. Conclusion: Normal vaginal delivery in nurse-midwife clinics is considered cost-effective in terms of insurance financing. Upon a declining share of health expenditures on midwife clinics, designing a reimbursement strategy for midwife's services could be an opportunity as well as a challenge when it comes to efficient resource allocation.
