An experimental study was made to examine the effects of the uncertainty of objectives-presentation using two-handle and joystick on the predictive, precognitive and preview manual tracking systems (pursuit tracking system). The task had two factors of difficulty, a locational and a temporal uncertainty, chosen to be perceptibly more difficult having a high presentation rate. Six male subjects were required to perform the experiments. It was obtained from the results of the experiments that the preview manual tracking system is better than the other systems and the performance decrement doesn't appear.

The deregulation problem has recently attracted attentions in a competitive electric power market, where the cost must be earmarked fairly and precisely for the customers and the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) as well. Transmission loss is an one of several important factors that determines power transmission cost. Because the cost caused by transmission losses is about $3{\sim}5%$, it is important to allocate transmission losses into each bus in a power system. This paper presents the new algorithm to allocate transmission losses based on an integration method using the loss sensitivity. It provides the buswise incremental transmission losses through the calculation of load ratios considering the transaction strategy of an overall system. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the case studies carried out on the WSCC 9-bus and IEEE 14-bus systems.

This study investigates the effectiveness of Jeju's public Wi-Fi policy for which the key factors of public Wi-Fi use and location characteristics are analyzed. Spatial regression analysis was conducted within a 100 m radius of public Wi-Fi access points. In the analysis, the dependent variable was public Wi-Fi usage time while independent variables included demographic factors, location factors, and other factors. The findings reveal that demographic factors such as the number of residents, the number of workers, and the number of visitors had a close correlation with the use of public Wi-Fi. In addition, the number of bus stops and land prices of each parcel, land use mix, and AP installation period had a positive correlation with the use of public Wi-Fi. On the contrary, the number of buildings by use, the total floor area of buildings, and the number of tourist attractions had negative correlations with public Wi-Fi usage time. These findings provide policy implications that more active publicity on Jeju's public Wi-Fi is needed and the convenience for access needs to be improved.

This study examines the relationship between the usage of public bike and physical environment factors around the public bike stations using the public bike rental history data from 2016 to 2017 in Seoul, Korea. Focusing on the different influences of determinant factors by distance to public bike station, this study identifies influential factors that affect the usage of public bike. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, both the land use and physical environmental variables of bike station areas show strong associations with the usage of public bike. Second, the usage of public bike is also associated with neighborhood living facilities, business facilities, land use mix, the distance to subway station, public facilities and universities. This finding indicates that public bike has played a role as a transportation mode for the short-distance travel and commuting purposes in everyday life. Third, this study shows that the usage of public bike is strongly associated with the average slope, traffic volume around public bike stations, distance to streams or rivers, and the types of bike lane. This finding also indicates that surrounding environmental factors play an important role in the usage of public bike. Finally, this study identifies the different influences of determinant factors on the usage of public bike by distance to public bike station. This study suggests policy implications for the potential locations of public bike stations in the future.

A biological assessments of fish community structure were carried out in the lower reach of Seomjin River from May 2009 to November 2010. The collected fish from the six surveyed sites were 63 species belonging to 24 families, and 10 orders. Although species was different depending on sites, the numbers of individuals were not shown significance on sites. Locational dominant species were different. For example, the dominant species on May were Zacco platypus at W-1, Zacco temminckii at W-2, Acanthogobius flavimanus at W-3 and W-4, and Leiognathus nuchalis at W-5 and W-6. There is no seasonal differences in species. Species diversity was the best up to 2.64 on May at W-1 from 1.33 on November at W-6. As a result of an analysis about environmental factors for the numbers of fish species and individuals in each surveyed sites, the most effective groups were DO, BOD, and COD. The proportional difference was high on May than November between transient and asymptotic projections for population size and population growth rate for simulations starting at the current or theoretical stage distribution.

The purpose of this study were to examine the spatial distribution and locational characteristics of the Internet movie industry, to seize the value chains of the Internet movie industry and distribution structure of the internet movies, and to analyze the vertical-horizontal linkages of the Internet movie firms and their spatial clustering. Recently, the Internet movie industry has developed rapidly due to the development of techniques related to movie contents, the broadband Internet and a wide expansion of the high speed communication network and the increase of demands on movie contents. It has been found that 74$\%$ of the Internet movie industry was concentrated in Seoul. Especially this industry was quite agglomerated in several dongs of Gangnam-gu such as Yoeksam, Nonhyeon, Daechi and Samseung. The proximity of the same or similar business firms was the primary locational factors that influenced on the Internet movie industry, followed by other factors such as convenience of transportation, the reputation of the place, and proximity of technically supporting firms. The Internet movie industry had the valve chain composed of 'contents suppliers $\rightarrow$ contents distributors $\rightarrow$ service providers', However, there were also a complex network of the VOD copyright owner, VOD syndicator, and service providers in each category of the value chain. This research clearly revealed that the localized clustering has been formed with the movie contents providers, technically supporting firms, client firms, and cooperative-affiliated business firms related to the Internet movie industry, Additionally, a very intimate network has been established within the clustering, inducing the enlargement of the market and decrease of costs, the co-sharing of tacit knowledge, and the synergy effect.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) by firms has various motives in terms of the strategy for firms' long-term growth. This research uses the case study of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama to analyze the motives of the Korean auto industry's FDI in the U.S. and the locational factors that determined the selection of the site. This paper starts from the question of why Hyundai made the decision to invest in the U.S., which is not favorable in terms of production cost, especially considering that its exports to the U.S. have been on the increase. The results indicate that the strongest motive for the decision to invest in the U.S. was to ameliorate the trade friction between Korea and the U.S. Given that Hyundai depends on the U.S. market to a large extent for its exports, the foremost motive was to use local production in order to reduce the serious trade imbalance in the automobile sector between Korea and the U.S. in order that trade friction with the U.S. may be avoided and causes for trade disputes may be reduced. Other motives such as improving the access to local consumers were of secondary importance. After the selection of the country in which to invest, however, various factors were considered in the decision regarding the location of the plant, and incentives by local governments ultimately played a key role in this decision. The results imply that the Korean manufacturing industry's investment in the U.S. cannot be explained by traditional FDI theories and instead was greatly driven by a strategic defensive motive. In addition, the results confirm that the design of an appropriate incentive structure by host governments is important for attracting FDI.
