This paper attempts to improve the typical DEA model that is often used as a performance evaluation method for service firms. The after-sales service system in a Korean electronic company is chosen as a sample case. The performance evaluation method currently practiced in the firm was reviewed and some critical issues of the current method were discussed. DEA model would be considered a solution for solving those Issues. However, typical DEA models has various drawbacks in determining the weights over evaluation criteria. Proposed is the priority-constrained DEA model that accommodates the strategic Importance of each evaluation criterion. The results of the proposed model are compared with those of typical DEA models. It is shown that the priority-constrained DEA model is superior to the others in terms of evaluation quality.

When an emergency generator is running, it supplies the power for critical loads. Generator protection requires the consideration of many abnormal conditions that may occur with generators include overvoltages and ground faults. Modern day power systems create harmonics within the electrical network that can have an impact upon the associated protective system. This paper focuses on the analysing of the cause and development of a solution for the malfunction of induction disc type overcurrent ground relay by generation of harmonics during emergency generator operation.

Sam Dong Co., Ltd. has been succeeded in producing a 1 km multi-filament conductor in 2018. So far, we become more widespread to fabricate a variety of customized multi-filament wires such as 6 + '1' Cu, 18 + '1' Cu, and 36 + '1' Cu. In this work, we discuss the research progress on various MgB₂ wires over the past three years. We also provide a brief review for applications with our wires.

Cellular uptake of nanoparticles for stem cell labeling and tracking is a critical technique for biomedical therapeutic applications. However, current techniques suffer from low intracellular labeling efficiency and cytotoxic effects, which has led to great interest in the development of a new labeling strategy. Using silica-coated nanoparticles conjugated with rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC) (SR), we tested the cellular uptake efficiency, biocompatibility, proliferation or differentiation ability with murine bone marrow derived hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. The bone marrow hematopoietic cells showed efficient uptake with SR with dose or time dependent manner and also provided a higher uptake on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Biocompatibility tests revealed that the SR had no deleterious effects on cell cytotoxicity, proliferation, or multi-differentiation capacities in vitro and in vivo. SR nanoparticles are advantageous over traditional labeling techniques as they possess a high level of cellular internalization without limiting the biofunctionality of the cells. Therefore, SR provides a useful alternative for gene or drug delivery into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells for basic research and clinical applications.

This paper discovers that there are some peculiar properties that can remove holography grating, which was made in chacogenide thin film by impressed voltage. The thin films were used are $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$, and we use He-Ne laser in order to form thin films. I-V curved line in a thin film before a lattice was made has the critical point, about 3.7 V. Moreover, the I-V curved line increased current intensity at over 4 V after it made thin film. In addition, while holography grating is being made, and when it has the highest diffraction efficiency, a lattice can be deleted if put more voltage into it.

Using quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasma, we can analyze gas characteristic. In this paper, the electron transport characteristic in $CH_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 0.1${\sim}$ 300(Td), at the 300($_{\circ}$ K) by the two term approximation Boltzmann equation method and Monte Carlo Simulation. The electron energy distribution function has been analysed in $CH_4$ at E/N=10, 100 for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean energy. The result of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo Simulation has been compared with experimental data by Ohmori, $Lucas^{[18]}$ and Carter. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to sever as a critical test of current theories of low energy scattering by atoms and molecules.

Advance of neuroimaging technique has greatly influenced recent brain research field. Among various neuroimaging modalities, positron emission tomography has played a key role in molecular neuroimaging though functional MRI has taken over its role in the cognitive neuroscience. As the analysis technique for PET data is more sophisticated, the complexity of the method is more increasing. Despite the wide usage of the neuroimaging techniques, the assumption and limitation of procedures have not often been dealt with for the clinician and researchers, which might be critical for reliability and interpretation of the results. In the current paper, steps of voxel-based statistical analysis of PET including preprocessing, intensity normalization, spatial normalization, and partial volume correction will be revisited in terms of the principles and limitations. Additionally, new image analysis techniques such as surface-based PET analysis, correlational analysis and multimodal imaging by combining PET and DTI, PET and TMS or EEG will also be discussed.

In this paper, the electron transport characteristics in $CF_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 1${\sim}$300 [Td] by a two-term approximation Boltzmann equation method and by a Monte Carlo simulation. The motion has been calculated to give swarm parameters for the electron drift velocity, longitudinal diffusion coefficient, the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the mobility, electron ionization and attachment coefficients, effective ionization coefficient, mean energy, collision frequency and the electron energy distribution function. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to serve as a critical test of current theories of low energy electron scattering by atoms and molecules, in particular, as well as crucial information for quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasmas.

The task evaluating science and technology is becoming more important in every country trying to develop and improve overall national R&D capability in an effort to sustain national prosperity and public welfare. However, the way in which evaluation organisation is approached in each country may differ from nation to nation reflecting national R&D systems and S&T policies as well as the specific roles of scientists and policy- makers at various levels. Over the past two decades or so, Korean evaluation system has been transplanted form the West and they modified, In addition, Korea borrowed elements from the Japanese. Whether such systems have been well rooted in our specific circumstances is a critical question. In this context, it would be meaningful to diagnoses the current Korean evaluation system and also makes some suggestions for improving this system. For this purpose, this paper also attempts to approach to the theoretical aspects of evaluation as a starting-point.

A Multicast transfer is a critical delivery method to provide a transport service to multipeer applications, the various problems on the multicast transfer environments have been occurred from the results of current research. One of these problems is the multicast transport service issue to guarantee reliability and scalability. First, this paper presents the related research of the reliable multicast transport methods, and then proposes a new transfer architecture using the Agent Sender and Receiver Concept(ASRC) to solve a reliable multicast transfer issue. we also propose a method to apply the proposed architecture(ASRC) to the well-known sender-initiated and receiver-initiated transport protocol. In order 새 validate the proposed ASRC architecture, t도 applied sender and receiver system si compared and analyzed over the processing requirement and maximum throughput.
