  • With the advances in information technologies and the wide acceptance of IT outsourcing practices, subscription-based information & telecommunications services(ITS) become more available. Convergence and intensified industry competition have made it an imperative for the ITS providers to keep their current customers and acquire new customers at the same time. In this study, we developed a framework for effective customer management based on the factors influencing the post-purchase customer choice: stay with the present provider or switch to another one. Specifically, we classified the factors into four categories: Holding factors, Defect factors, Inducement factors, and Hurdle factors depending on the characteristics of the influence and direction of the influence. Based on the classification, we developed a post-purchase customer choice model for the subscription-based ITS providers. Then, we illustrated a possible application of the model in the context of the broadband Internet access service. The model could be used to increase the competitive advantage of service providers through the effective customer management in the subscription-based ITS market.

  • Foodborne diseases occur frequently and have various being related to the intake of contaminated foods. Seafood products are susceptible to contamination due to higher water content and microorganisms, which combine to give them a short shelf-life. Various approaches have been applied to overcome this problem. Edible coatings that are also biodegradable and biocompatible have been discussed as one of the applicable solutions. These coatings can actually help to maintain seafood quality by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and delaying the loss of moisture. This paper presents the effects of various natural bio-polymers, antimicrobial substances and physical sterilization techniques such as gamma irradiation, ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, and light-emitting diode (LED) sterilization on seafood coatings.

  • Recently, consumer demand for safe but minimally processed food has rapidly increased. For this reason, many food processing industries are applying hurdle technology to enhance food safety, extend shelf life, and make foods appear minimally processed. Meanwhile, studies have shown that a treatment (stress) meant to inactivate foodborne pathogens may trigger adaptation mechanisms and could even offer cross protection against subsequent treatments. Also, certain routine farm practices such as antibiotic and herbicide use could result in the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Such bacteria may be tolerant to food processing-associated stress and be more likely to remain viable in processed foods. In this review, we discuss the correlation between food processing-associated stress and antibiotic resistance. We also discuss molecular mechanisms such as the use of sigma factors, SOS response pathways and efflux pumps as means of cross protection against antimicrobial compounds and other food processing-associated stresses.

  • We optimized braising time to improve the storage quality of braised kidney beans. The beans were prepared with different heating times between 25 and 50 min. and then stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 20 day. Physical, chemical, microbiological, and organoleptic quality indices were monitored throughout storage. Longer braising times yielded products with lower concentrated brine coverage. Bis resulted in higher soluble contents and slightly lower water activities. Excessive heating time exposed the kidney beans to air and caused rapid microbial growth on the surfaces of the beans, which negatively affected product quality. The longest heating time of 50 min. also resulted in a large increase in product hardness. A braising time of 30 min. was best for preservation, as good sensory quality was mainatained.

  • Microbial disinfection is essential to increase the preservation and safety of food. In general, thermal sterilization technology is most frequently used, but it often causes nutrient denaturation, and deterioration of food quality. Accordingly, non-thermal sterilization using a novel technology is emerging as an alternative technology. Among them, ultrasonic technology produces a disinfection effect by promoting the destruction of microorganisms by cavitation. Ultrasound technology alone has a low effect, so research is being actively conducted to develop an effective technology by applying as a hurdle technology with various other technologies. Ultrasound can be treated with various processes including traditional sterilization methods such as heating, high pressure, and chemical treatment, as well as novel technologies such as ultraviolet irradiation. Ultrasound assisted sterilization technology still remains at the laboratory level, requiring additional research such as the development of equipment for industrial application and establishment of an optimal process.

  • With the advent of the Free Trade Agreement between Korea and the U.S. and an increase in trade volume between the two countries, the possibility of commercial disputes has escalated among international merchants. It has been well-known that arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution is an efficient way to resolve international commercial disputes. When arbitral awards are enforced in the judicial system, the court will inevitably have to be involved with the enforcement procedures. The court is a typical legal entity to confirm arbitral awards. Through a confirmation process, the winning party obtains the same legal status of final judgment rendered by the court. However, a winning party in arbitration will have to overcome a legal hurdle in the enforcement process of arbitral awards. This article aims to investigate how the courts control the arbitration practices and what the basic legal issues in the enforcement of arbitral awards are. The US Federal Arbitration Act is investigated, while relevant cases are reviewed and updated for legal analysis.

  • Purpose - The study is primarily aimed at framing "Position Descriptions" for some key positions in the executive cadre of the testing department of CESC Limited. Research design, data, and methodology - The questionnaire, interview, and observation methods have been used for the purpose of data collection. The position descriptions are validated by superiors belonging to the respective departments. Results - It has been found that there is overlapping of job duties and job responsibilities in the department. This overlapping is quite alarming for the organization and may even become a hurdle in the path of its progress. It can be seen as a classic case of de-layering. Conclusions - The study concludes that good communication along with interpersonal and negotiation skills are absolutely essential to facilitate the performance of the day-to-day duties of a job, including handling the union, solving IR related issues, development of the subordinates, job setting, distribution and allocation, etc. Position descriptions will help in the alignment of the employee direction, and can be a useful tool to aid the communication between management and employees.

  • Recently, it is required to design higher stage pressure ratio compressor while maintaining equal adiabatic efficiency. To increase the stage pressure ratio, blade rotational speed or diffusion factor should be increased. In the case of increasing rotational speed, relative speed of flow at blade leading edge is well supersonic. In supersonic blade, total pressure loss is mainly due to shock wave and blade leading edge thickness should be very thin to minimize the shock wave loss. As a result, the blade is like to be week in terms of mechanical strength and the manufacturing cost is very high because NC machining is necessary. It is also one of big hurdle to overcome to make small compressor. In this paper, the effects of blade leading edge to the performance of supersonic blade In terms of total pressure loss. The efficiency of already known method to make thin blade leading edge from the casted blade with rather thick leading edge thickness is also assessed.

  • Purpose: In this study, we research the hurdle rate method to suggest the robust control chart for a contaminated process less vulnerable to fault values than existing control charts. Methods: We produce the results of p, ARL values to compare the performance of two control charts, $\bar{x}-s$ that has been used typically and TM-TS that is suggested by this paper. We implement the simulation focusing on three cases, change of deviation, mean and both of them. Results: We draw a conclusion that the TM-TS control chart has better efficiency than $\bar{x}-s$ control chart over the three cases. Conclusion: We insist that applying TM-TS control chart for a polluted process is more effective than $\bar{x}-s$ control chart.
