Time-tradeoff measures and healthy years equivalents were assessed and compared through an empirical study based on Multi-attribute utility theory. The study included 33 student subjects as a pilot study, and 54 end-stage renal disease patients in Wisconsin. The two outcome measures were compared with the survival duration of 1, 5, and 10 years. The results of the study show that the time-tradeoff method and the two-stage method did not lead to the same numerical quantities, although they aim to measure the same quantities (equivalent numbers of healthy years) theoretically. The healthy years equivalents involved more inconsistencies, and were less reliable than the time-tradeoff measures. Overestimation of the healthy years equivalents was observed. This seemed to be caused by the complex procedure of the two-stage method as well as by the preferences assessment biases. Based on the study experiences, the time-tradeoff measure would be recommended for problems involving generic medical applications and health policies.

It is important to measure the resistive component separately from the total leakage current at power distribution line. It is because electric disasters such as electric shock and fire are caused mainly by the resistive component of the total leakage current. In this paper, a new theory for measuring the resistive component separately from the total leakage current is suggested, and is embodied to an actual circuit using operational amplifiers, analog switch and R-C low pass filter. Through experiments for various cases containing both the resistive and capacitive leakage currents, the suggested algorithm is confirmed to be able to measure the resistive leakage current within 4.1% of error even when the capacitive leakage current is much bigger than the resistive one. The suggested method is expected to lower the total cost because it can be realized using simple and cheap devices, and implies the measuring time can be possibly reduced because the resistive leakage current is computed exactly from the signals during only a half period of power voltage.

Fuzzy co-clustering is sensitive to noise data. To overcome this noise sensitivity defect, possibilistic clustering relaxes the constraints in FCM-type fuzzy (co-)clustering. In this paper, we introduce a new possibilistic fuzzy co-clustering algorithm based on information bottleneck (ibPFCC). This algorithm combines fuzzy co-clustering and possibilistic clustering, and formulates an objective function which includes a distance function that employs information bottleneck theory to measure the distance between feature data point and feature cluster centroid. Many experiments were conducted on three datasets and one artificial dataset. Experimental results show that ibPFCC is better than such prominent fuzzy (co-)clustering algorithms as FCM, FCCM, RFCC and FCCI, in terms of accuracy and robustness.

사회기반시설물의 핵심 시설물 중 하나인 교량은 이용자들이 쉽게 접하고 이용하는 시설물로 일정 수준이상의 성능유지는 필수적으로 요구된다. 교량건설 역사가 상당히 오래된 호주, 뉴질랜드, 미국, 유럽 등의 최근 관련 연구보고서 등의 사례를 비추어 보았을 때, 우리나라 또한 교량의 기대수명에 도달하는 10-20년 내 교량의 유지관리 및 개축 수요가 급격하게 증가될 것으로 예상되므로 비교적 건전한 상태를 유지하고 있는 현 시점에서 한정적인 예산을 효율적으로 분배하기 위해 교량 성능을 적정 수준 이상으로 유지하며 LCC 측면에서의 비용은 최소한으로 투입하는 합리적이고 공학적인 의사결정방법론이 필요하다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 호주, 뉴질랜드 및 미국 등에서는 오래전부터 자산관리체계를 마련하기 위하여 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모든 교량을 관리할 수 있는 범용적인 자산관리체계와 교량이 제공하는 서비스수준(Level of Service)과 이를 측정하기 위한 성능측정기준을 개발하기 위한 사전 기초연구로써 연구의 범위를 도심지의 교량으로 한정하여 그 자산관리체계와 서비스수준을 개발하고자 한다. 전문가와 이해관계자로 구성된 워크숍을 실시하여 국내 실정에 맞는 도심지 교량자산관리체계와 그 서비스수준(LOS) 및 성능 척도(PM)를 개발하고 다속성 효용이론(Multi-Attribute Utility Theory)와 AHP기법을 이용하여 성능 지표별 가치의 값과 성능 척도의 가중치 분석을 실시하였다. 도출 된 성능 척도의 가중치와 성능 지표의 가치(Value) 등의 적용 확인을 위해 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$시의 교량 6개를 선별하여 LOS분석을 적용하고 그 결과를 고찰하였다.

This study was performed to analyze a path model that investigated the relations among financial statements financial management and financial satisfaction of urban households. For this purpose conceptual framework based on the system theory was suggested. Empirical test's results showed some evidence has been provided that supported that conceptual frame-work. The level of living and gap between the level and standard of living measure were vital in the model investigating financial management and financial satisfaction, There were statistically significant direct effects of them on financial management however there were many indirect effects that mediate through them as well Also The financial management was accepted in the model investigating financial satisfaction. There was statistically significant direct effect on it and indirect effect that mediated through the financial management.

With current. difficulties in Korean agricultural sector, the biotecilnoiogy is considered as the most important factor to offset the inferiority in the agriculture. New products by using the biotechnology would be commercialized and consumed by both producers and consumers. Before its production and distribution researches on new product should be undertaken in many aspects, especially in terms of economic aspects. Main objectives of this study are to measure the economic value of the new product using the agro-biotechnology, here potato microtubers, and to examine whether the stated preferences theory, the Contingent Valuation Method(CVM), could be accepted in the economic analysis for the new biotech product. Through the demand function derived from the consequences of functional relationship, the consumer's surplus was estimated.

The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized scale to measure consumers' motivation to purchase based on a self-determination theory. A preliminary 27-item scale was developed through literature review, diary analysis, and FGI. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,000consumers on internet using the preliminary scale. Then a series of tests, such as test-retest, item analysis, item-to-total correlation, Cronbach's reliability coefficient, and factor analysis, were conducted using the survey data. The final scale with21 items was constructed in the end. The Purchase Motivation Scale for Consumers consisted of five factors: (1) external motivation, (2) introjected motivation, (3) identified motivation I: self-respect, (4) identified motivation II: pursuit of harmony, and (5) internal motivation.

Scientific analysis of crime hot spots is essential in preventing and/or suppressing crime. However, results could be different depending on the analytic methods, which highlights the importance of choosing adequate tools. The purpose of this study was to introduce two advanced techniques for detecting crime hot spots, GAM and Local Moran's I, hoping for more police agencies to adopt better techniques.GAM controls for the number of population in study regions, but local Moran's I does not. That is, GAM detects high crime rate areas, whereas local Moran's I identifies high crime volume areas. For GAM, physical disorder was used as a proxy measure for population at risk based on the logic of the broken windows theory. Different regions were identified as hot spots. Although GAM is generally regarded as a more advanced method in that it controls for population, it's usage is limited to only point data. Local Moran's I is adequate for zonal data, but suffers from the unavoidable MAUP(Modifiable Areal Unit Problem).

In this paper, we study the fixed charge transportation problem with uncertain variables. The fixed charge transportation problem has two kinds of costs: direct cost and fixed charge. The direct cost is the cost associated with each source-destination pair, and the fixed charge occurs when the transportation activity takes place in the corresponding source-destination pair. The uncertain fixed charge transportation problem is modeled on the basis of uncertainty theory. According to inverse uncertainty distribution, the model can be transformed into a deterministic form. Finally, in order to solve the uncertain fixed charge transportation problem, a numerical example is given to show the application of the model and algorithm.

Purpose: This research aims at quality improvement of website services on the internet. Methods: SERVQUAL is redefined for web environments as sixteen statements in five dimensions to identify user requirements for websites and measure their importance ratings. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is used to integrate user requirements into service development for websites so that management and design guidelines can be obtained for user-oriented websites. Fuzzy set theory is introduced to resolve the ambiguity and subjectivity of user requirements in the House of Quality (HOQ). Results: The priorities of design characteristics are extracted from the Fuzzy QFD for University websites. Conclusion: It is expected to provide quality services in less time with less effort, if the results of the Fuzzy QFD are used to provide services in a strategic way under limited resources.
