The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between IR(investor Relations) activities and relationship marketing toward shareholders. This study constructed a research model delineating relationships between IR activities and relationship marketing variables based upon literature review and extensive interviews with IR experts. LISREL analysis upon empirical data was conducted. IR activities were found to be key determinants of Trust and Commitment of investors. Trust and Commitment were found to be positively related to firms' performance. Thus, IR activities had positive effects on a company's relationship marketing and performance.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been recognized as major contributor to air pollution. Catalytic oxidation in VOCs can give high efficiency at low temperature. In this study, monometallic Pt, Ir and bimetallic Pt-Ir were supported to $TiO_2$. Xylene, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) were used as reactants. The monometallic or bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the excess wetness impregnation method and characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM analysis. Result reveal that Pt catalyst has higher conversion than Ir catalyst and Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts. The existence of multipoint actives in, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts gives improved performance for the Pt metalstate. Bimetallic catalysts have higher conversion for VOCs than monometallic ones. The addition, VOCs oxidation follows first order kinetics. The addition of small amount of Ir to Pt promotes oxidation conversion of VOCs.

N-Heteroaryl carbazoles were synthesized with thermal heating in the presence of Cu(I) catalyst and used as main ligands for the preparation of heteroleptic Ir(III) complexes. In these Ir(III) complexes, 6-membered ring structures of Ir-ligand chelation were found by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The blue shift of photoluminescence for Ir(III) complexes was observed in the case of the strong bond formation between Ir and ancillary ligands. It also has been clearly shown that the higher electron density of heteroaryl aromatic ring influenced shorter maximum photoluminescence wavelength (λmax) of Ir(III) complexes. Since the new Ir(III) complexes showed good phosphorescent emission, they could be potentially used as OLED materials in the emission Layer.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between dietary variables and the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) in middle-aged Korean adults using data from the 2007-2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Because IR is closely linked with metabolic syndrome, subjects were divided into three groups according to symptoms of metabolic syndrome: the 'Normal group' without any symptoms, the 'Risk group' with one or two symptoms, and the Metabolic syndrome (MetS) group' with three or more symptoms. Subjects between the ages of 30 and 65 years with no prior diagnosis or treatment for diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia were selected. The number of subjects per group was as follows: 2,085 adults in the Normal group, 3,699 adults in the Risk group, and 1,160 adults in the MetS group. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to Adult Treatment Panel III criteria with modified waist circumference cutoff values (men ${\geq}$ 90 cm, women ${\geq}$ 85 cm). Subjects with HOMA-IR > 2.0 were classified as IR. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using the following formula: (fasting plasma glucose ${\times}$ fasting plasma insulin)/22.5. Nutrients and food groups intake were obtained from a single 24-hour recall. Subjects with IR in the Normal group were more obese and less physically active than non-IR subjects. In the MetS group, subjects with IR were more obese and had a lower prevalence of smoking and drinking, compared with non-IR subjects. Men with IR in the Normal group had a tendency to consume more oils and sugars than non-IR men, while women with IR in the same group had higher intake of carbohydrate, dietary glycemic index, and dietary glycemic load than non-IR women. Women with IR in the Risk group had lower energy intake but higher intake of oils and sugars than non-IR women. In the MetS group, consumption of fruits was higher in subjects with IR than in non-IR subjects. In conclusion, findings of this study suggest that dietary carbohydrate intake, including glycemic index, may be associated with IR in healthy women. Further research in prospective cohort studies in order to examine the effects of dietary carbohydrate on IR incidence will be necessary.

Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool for gem identification and research. Therefore, this study was focused to a method of the identification of amethyst, citrine, rock quartz and jadeite by the FT-IR. The FT-IR measurement was very effective in judgement of amethyst, citrine and rock quartz whether they are natural and synthetic. And FT-IR was very useful for the distinguishment of the natural jadeite (A-Jade) from wax/polymer-impregnated jadeite (B-Jade). Such technique will be helpful to identify new challenges present by treatments and synthetics.

본 논문에서는 단수의 IR 센서를 이용한 거리계측시스템보다 빠른 다수 개의 IR 센서를 이용한 거리정보계측시스템 및 환경지도를 구축방법을 제안하였다. 다수 개의 IR 센서를 이용하여 환경정보 또는 환경지도를 구축하기 위해서는 좌표계 간의 일치에 필요한 공정과 필터링 등이 필요하다. 다중 IRS로부터 거리데이터 획득 시, 기구 상의 각도오차 또는 IR 센서간의 방향각의 차이로 인해 실제의 환경과 차이를 가지게 되며, 다수개의 IR 센서를 이용하여 데이터를 획득하기 때문에 각각의 데이터에서 노이즈를 제거하고 필요한 데이터만 추출할 수 있는 공정이 요구된다. 이를 위해 데이터에서 모퉁이 또는 모서리를 추출할 수 있는 에지 검출법을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서는 제안된 거리계측시스템을 이용하여 실제 환경을 측정하였고 에지 검출법을 적용하였다.

UV-IR diagnostic technology is being used for predictive maintenance of high voltage equipment together with IR-thermography and ultrasonic devices. In this paper, the UV-IR camera design, fabrication, and perform a simple test to be take advantage of the diagnostic equipment. UV-IR camera developed a $6.4^{\circ}{\times}4.8^{\circ}$ of the field of view as a conventional camera to diagnose a wide range of slightly enlarged, and power equipment to measure the distance between the camera and the distance meter has been attached. In a distance of 5m with the UV-IR it is possible to detect partial discharge with a PD level of 2.5 pC and a RIV(Radio Influence Voltage) level of $3.6dB{\mu}V$.

Exchange anisotropy between IrMn antiferromagnetic layer and NiFe ferromagnetic layer has been studied in IrxMn(100-x)/NiFe/Buffr/Si(100) films deposited by D. C. magnetron sputtering method. Among Zr, Ta, and Cu used as buffer layer, Zr and Ta enhanced the fcc(111) texture of NiFe and IeMn layer, but Cu did not affect microstructure of those layer. Strong fcc(111) texture of IrMn layer was confirmed to be the origin of exchange anisotropy of IrMn. Ir composition control in IrMn layer showed that {{{{ gamma -phase}}}} IrMn is stabilized between 10 and 30 at % Ir, an 21 at. % Ir in IrMn layer was optimum composition that showed maximum exchange anisotropy field. above 200 ${\AA}$ thickness of IrMn, antiferromagnetic property is stabilzed to show saturated exchange anisotropy field. Based pressure was confirmed to be critical requisite in IrMn-based spin-valve GMR system.

The microstructure and thermal properties of the Mn-IriNi-Fe exchange biased multi-layers with various buffer layers and stacking structures have been investigated. The H$_{e{\chi}}$ and the T$_{b}$ depend on the Mn-Ir grain size at the interface between the Mn-Ir layer and the Ni-Fe layer, The (111) preferred orientation of Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on the Ta buffer layer may promote the values of J$_{k}$ and H$_{e{\chi}}$. The samples which produce the Hex have the epitaxial relationship at the interface between the Mn-Ir layer and the Ni-Fe layer due to the generation of misfit dislocation.

In this research, the Ir supported $TiO_2$ (P25) catalyst was prepared by precipitation method for oxygen evolution reaction. The $Ir/TiO_2$ catalyst was synthesised by reduction reaction using reducing agent. Physiochemical characterizations of synthesized $Ir/TiO_2$ catalyst was studied by means of SEM, EDS mapping, TEM and XRD. The Electrochemical characterizations were tested by using the technique of CV and LSV by RDE and Potentiostat. Physicochemical properties were characterized with XRD where Iridium metal morphology and Ir(111) and Ir(222) peaks were founded. $Ir0.2Ru0.8O_2$ exhibited higher OER activity than $Ir0.5Ru0.5O_2$ followed by $Ir/TiO_2$ and $IrO_2$.
