The standard shift-share analysis decomposes a region's sectoral growth into three components: national, industry-mix, and regional-shift effects. Nevertheless, the three components of the traditional shift-share are not related to the behavior of the regional economies that are neighbors of the region under analysis. We incorporate a spatial structure within this basic formulation, and consider spatial interaction in the decomposition analysis. Daesan Port's export grew steadily at an annualized average rate of 4.0% during 2011-2017, and its rank, in terms of export performance, was 13 in 2010; this rose to 6 in 2016, then declined slightly to 7 in 2017 before reaching 6 as of June, 2018. However, not all ports have a similar growth path. The Onsan Port's share declined from 27.4% in 2011 to 21.0% to 2017, whereas the share of petroleum product exports of Daesan Port increased rapidly, from approximately 8.5% in 2011 to 16.0% in 2017. The standard shift-share analysis shows that petroleum products and basic petrochemicals have a positive regional in dustry-mix effect, but petrochemistry materials and synthetic resins have a negative sign, indicating that the former's exports grow faster than national export, while the increase of the latter's export is slower than national one. The spatial shift-share model indicates that for both petroleum products and basic petrochemicals, Incheon and Ulsan Ports have a positive value for the neighbor-nation regional shift effect and a positive value for the region-neighbor regional shift effect. This paper also shows that Yeosu Port for petroleum products; Ulsan Port for basic petrochemicals; Ulsan, Onsan and Yeosu Ports for petrochemistry materials; and Ulsan, Busan, and Incheon Ports for synthetic resins have a positive value for the neighbor-nation regional shift effect but a negative value for the region-neighbor regional shift effect.

In this paper, we developed a fully integrated downconverter MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) including Lange coupler and output active balun for millimeter wave applications. Concretely, ${\lambda}$/4 transmission line was added to Lange coupler for size reduction of RF/LO input, and mixed RF/LO signals were applied to gate of the FET of mixer. Active balun was used at output port for a coupling of out-of-phase IF output signals. According to measured results, the proposed downconverter MMIC showed good RF performances. For example, the downconverter MMIC showed an LO leakage power of -25 dBc at IF output port, and a RF-LO isolation of 18 dB. Therefore, off-chip components such as LO rejection filters were not required for a normal operation of the proposed downconverter MMIC. The proposed downconverter MMIC showed a conversion gain of 10.3 dB at RF frequency of 63 GHz. The size of the downconverter MMIC including all active and passive components was $2.2{\times}1.4mm^2$.

In this work, we used a novel RF-CSP to develop a broadband amplifier MMIC, including all the matching and biasing components, for Ku and K band applications. By utilizing an ACF for the RF-CSP, the fabrication process for the packaged amplifier MMIC could be simplified and made cost effective. STO (SrTiO$_3$) capacitors were employed to integrate the DC biasing components on the MMIC. A pre-matching technique was used for the gate input and drain output of the FETs to achieve a broadband design for the amplifier MMIC. The amplifier CSP MMIC exhibited good RF performance (Gain of 12.5$\pm$1.5 dB, return loss less than -6 dB, PldB of 18.5$\pm$1.5 dBm) over a wide frequency range. This work is the first report of a fully integrated CSP amplifier MMIC successfully operating in the Ku/K band.

Since many years ago and in spite of the existence of national regulations and international conventions ratified by the countries that are conformed the Central American Region (CAR), the seagoing maritime sector of this Region, has developed its activity without any type of safety measures. Therefore, a large number of people are known to die, disappear and suffer from serious injuries each year. These maritime casualties devastate the families affected by these events, and severely impact the local social and economic well-being. While all these accidents occurred in this Region, non government or any other official records are available recording these casualties Due to the lack of any historical written reports about maritime casualties occurred in this Region, the compilation of this type of accidents information and data was carried out directly by the researchers in the field. Also, all the information about the CAR Maritime Organization Components was too compiled by the authors from the respective National Maritimes Authorities. From the compiled information was elaborated the CAR maritime casualties data base and from the analysis of the above data base were determined the main causes of the maritime accidents occurred in the CAR. The lack of safety measures onboard and the ignorance of the presence and influence of atmospheric phenomena were among main factors that had been caused the maritime casualties in this Region. By other hand, from the analysis of the CAR maritime organization components, the existence of one level of organization very similar among them was determinate. The objective of this research was to analyze the role of the CAR maritime organization in the prevention of the occurrence of maritime casualties. The results of this study provides general understanding of the causes of this type of accidents in the CAR and basis for support in improving safety navigation system and measures so that the number of fatalities and maritime accidents may be reduced in the future.

The purpose of this study is to identify human factors that directly or indirectly cause ship accidents and to suggest implications based on the derived human factors. In particular, we conducted a survey on the basis of the human factors derived from the literature survey and interviews, and applied the revised importance-performance analysis (IPA) to develop implications from a comparison of two groups: seafarers and shipping operations managers. Data were collected from 159 practitioners in the Korean shipping industry. The analysis structure consisted of five major factors with 20 components, including unique factors related to ship and shipping management companies, personal competence, in-vessel organization, and personnel's health, as well as social factors. The result of the IPA analysis indicates that in-vessel organization is the most urgent and major factor for improvement. Some differences exist in the components that should be improved between the two groups. For the seafarer group, an increase in unskilled onboard crew affected sustainable safety activities, thus implying an area of preferential improvement regarding the in-vessel organization factor. However, for the shipping operations managers group, the difference in recognizing safety standards among the crew members on board and the ability to communicate with other crew members should be improved first relative to in-vessel organization factors. The personnel's health factor was identified to be of low importance in both groups. Finally, the importance of improving the safety consciousness level according to the safety education and training implementation for seafarers on board was different for the two groups.

This study looks at the reasons behind the termination of container transportation between Busan and Incheon in terms of costs structure, the division of profit, and the economic limitation faced in the domestic shipping market. The operation costs have been examined in relation to the components of logistic system of container shipping and the cost function has been estimated. The distribution proportion of operation revenue has been also investigated, considering the different components of logistics activities. In addition, the average revenue of container vessels of 144TEU and 215TEU has been calculated. Economic limitation can be analysed through the optimisation behaviour of shipping companies which tries to maximize profit or minimize loss. In conclusion, domestic short sea shipping can get the economy of scale only by transporting vessels' maximum capacity. It is also vulnerable to trucking market's fluctuation. Without the subsidy for operation, the liner in domestic short sea shipping will stop the service in order to minimize the loss.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the analytical framework for a spatial structure of a tourism destination master plan by the two types of the tourism development models: Tourist attraction System Model and Tourism Destination Region Design Model. The resort development plan is introduced as a planning tool for regenerating the eastern Pusan regions, but the economic and environmental impacts and the sociocultural dilemma accompanied by the development should be fully considered before launching the business. The development plan announced currently is traced and examined in comparison with the upper-leveled and related plans. The Tourist Attraction System Model based on the systems theory is applied to the designated regions. The Tourism Destination Region Design Model then is applied for analyzing the components of each region on the master plan. The results of the findings suggest that the tourism destination plan is basically different from a general master plan on the physical comprehensive plan, the destination is recognized as a subsystem of the whole tourism system, and thus tourism destination plan is considered as a spatial arrangement of tourism facilities and the inter- and intra-circulation.

In this paper, since the research on the etching of SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$O$_{9}$ (SBT) thin film was few (specially Cl$_2$-base ), we had studied the surface reaction of SBT thin films using the OES in high density plasma etching as a function of rf power, dc bias voltage, and Cl$_2$/(C1$_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio. It had been found that the etch rate of SBT thin films appeared to be more affected by the physical sputtering between Ar ions and surface of the SBT compared to the chemical reaction in our previous papers$^{1.2}$ . The change of Cl radical density that is measured by the OES as a function of gas combination showed the change of the etch rate of SBT thin films. Therefore, the chemical reactions between Cl radical in plasma and components of the SBT enhance to increase the etch rates of SBT thin films and these results were confirmed by XPS analysis.

Ship are typically thin-walled structures and consists of stiffened plate structure by purpose of required design load and weight reduction etc. Also, a hull structural characteristics are often used in structures with curvature at deck plating with camber, side shell plating at fore and aft parts and bilge circle parts, It have been believed that these structures can be modelled fundamentally by a part of cylinder. Structural component with curvature subjected to combined loading regimes and complex boundary conditions, which can potentially collapse due to buckling. Hence, for more rational and safe design of ship structures, it is crucial importance to better understand the interaction relationship of the buckling and ultimate strength for cylindrically curved plate under these load components. In this study, the ultimate strength characteristic of curved plate under combined load(lateral pressure load + axial compressive load) are investigated through using FEM series analysis with varying geometric panel properties.
