Purpose - This article will take the Korean manufacturing industry as an example to estimate Korea's global value chain status from the perspective of overall and sub-industry, hoping to provide a theoretical reference for Korean manufacturing to climb the global value chain. Design/methodology - Based on the WIOD data. The data is calculated by using MATLAB (2014a) coding. The data for 6 sectors are classified according to the International Standard Industrial Classification revision 3 (ISIC Rev. 3), the WIOD data are used to calculate and compare the position, participation and dynamics of the Korea, China and USA' manufacturing industry in the 1995-2016. Findings - The empirical results supported conclusions of the theoretical model. In the Korean GVC of electrical and optical sector, while stronger forward linkages than backward linkages to GVC are advantageous for an average advanced country, the benefits of downstream tasks are pronounced for non-advanced countries. And proved the correlation for an index to capture a country's upstream position or downstream position, it makes sense to compare that Korea's exports of intermediates in the same sector that are used by China and USA. Originality/value - The first is to re-examine the characteristics of South Korea's participation in global value chains under a more systematic and accurate theoretical framework, which provides a new empirical reference for related research; the second is to content covers of the manufacturing 6 sectors, so as to more completely describe the characteristics of Korean manufacturing's participation in global value chains; The value of this paper is providing empirical evidence of the effect of Korea's the GVC of manufacturing sectors. In the GVC of 6 sectors, first three have a higher position in the value chain and are in the upper middle and upper reaches of the GVC. The latter two have a low GVC position index, which has become the main sector that pulls down the overall position of Korea's manufacturing industry.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between low tongue position (LTP) and the volume and dimensions of the nasopharyngeal, retropalatal, retroglossal, and hypopharyngeal segments of the upper airway. Methods: A total of 194 subjects, including 91 males and 103 females were divided into a resting tongue position (RTP) group and a LTP group according to their tongue position. Subjects in the LTP group were divided into four subgroups (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) according to the intraoral space volume. The 3D slicer software was used to measure the volume and minimum and average cross-sectional areas of each group. Airway differences between the RTP and LTP groups were analyzed to explore the association between tongue position and the upper airway. Results: No significant differences were found in the airway dimensions between the RTP and LTP groups. For both retropalatal and retroglossal segments, the volume and average cross-sectional area were significantly greater in the patients with extremely low tongue position. Regression analysis showed that the retroglossal airway dimensions were positively correlated with the intraoral space volume and negatively correlated with A point-nasion-B point and palatal plane to mandibular plane. Males generally had larger retroglossal and hypopharyngeal airways than females. Conclusions: Tongue position did not significantly influence upper airway volume or dimensions, except in the extremely LTP subgroup.

The Study studied the Inspection Method of Images to obtain a sharp image of the Costume among the bones Composed of Thoracic Using the Thoracic Cage Rando Phantom. At 80 cm of the phantom Distance at the X-ray tube focus, the position of the Phantom was Examined by Changing the Rt and Lt Posterior Oblique(LAO) and Rt and Lt Posterior Postero Oblique positions by 20°, 25° and 30°. The acquired images were Subjectively Evaluated by the Radiographer, and the Evaluation data were analyzed as SPSS ver. 3.0. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was Calculated using the ImageJ Program. As a result, the Cronbach Alpha value was Significantly higher at 0.789. The results of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) were high at 20° to 6.038 in the right posterior Transcription Direction at the time of Examination and 7.860, in the Supine Position, for images of Sternum bones. In conclusion, it is Believed that the patient position can be obtained from the Right Anterior Oblique(RAO) Position 20° if the X-ray technique is used to obtain the Sternum's advanced image, and the Left Anterior Oblique(LAO) Position 25° when filming in the Rght lying position.

In this experiment, eleven volunteers were followed up for 15 months after the injection of botulinum toxin type A on right and left masseter muscles. The measurement of masseter muscle atrophy for each volunteer was performed by CT(computed tomography) three times: before the injection, three and fifteen months after the injection. The thickness and area of muscle were measured in three positions which are 10 (position 1), 20 (position 2), and 40 mm (position 3) above the inferior border of mandible(the injection site was nearest the position 1). The thickness of masster muscle was decreased in all three positions three months after the injection, but no significant change was observed fifteen months after the injection. On the other hand, the area of masster muscle was decreased in all three positions three months after the injection. Furthermore, the area was decreased significantly in positions 1 and 2, but not in position 3 fifteen months after the injection. As a result, toxin is still in effect even fifteen months after the injection. Finally, the present study shows that the measurement of muscle area provides more precise informations than that of muscle thickness does.

For the evaluation of the role of substituents of ar-turmerone for its anticancer activity, ar-turmerone (1a) and its analogs like 2-methyl-6-(4'-methyphenyl)-2-octen-4-one (1b), 2-methyl-6-phenyl-2-hepten-4-one (1c), 2-methyl-6-phenyl-2-octen-4-one (1d) and 2 methyl-6-(trans-4'-methylcyclohexyl)-2-hepten-4-one (1e) were preparedd and their cytotoxic activities against $L_{1210}$ cell were determined. Omission of methyl group at para-position dose not variate the cytotoxicity of ar-turmerone. Elongation of alkyl group at 6-position decreases $ED_{50}$ value. Saturation of aromatic ring of ar-turmerone markedly decreases the cytotoxicity. Therefore the smaller size of alkyl group at 6-position and aromatic ring of ar-turmerone should be essential for exhibiting its anticancer activity.

MPEG-I Visual group is actively working on enhancing immersive experiences with up to six degree of freedom (6DoF). In virtual space of 3DoF+, which is defined as an extension of 360 video with limited changes of the view position in a sitting position, looking at the scene from another viewpoint (another position in space) requires rendering additional viewpoints using multiple videos taken at the different locations at the same time. In the MPEG-I Visual workgroup, methods of efficient coding and transmission of 3DoF+ video are being studied, and they released Test Model for Immersive Media (TMIV) recently. This paper presents the enhanced clustering method which can pack the patches into atlas efficiently in TMIV. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves significant BD-rate reduction in terms of various end-to-end evaluation methods.

It has been established that disk displacement of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) can cause mandibular asymmetry in growing subjects. One of the causes of internal derangement of TMJ seems to be the result of poor positioning of the joint structure in unilateral cross bite, and the subsequent occlusal trauma transferred to the functioning unit of the mandible, the joint and disc. Transverse discrepancy of the maxillary and the mandibular posterior dentoalveolar units was often found in mandibular asymmetric subjects. Most of the asymmetry in growing subjects becomes worse with further growth if left untreated. However once sufficient posterior overjet is gained through orthodontic treatment, many cases have shown improvement in facial asymmetry. Furthermore, the position of condyles in computed tomogram(con-beam CT) changed from anatomically unfavorable position to more concentric position.

This paper presents a neural network-based adaptive controller for a single flexible-link. The control for feedback-error loaming of neural network is designed by using the re-definition approach. The neural network controllers are implemented on an single flexible-link experimental test-bed. The tip response is significantly improved and the vibrations of the flexible modes are damped very fast. Experimental and simulation results are presented of the proposed tip position tracking controllers over the conventional PD-type, passive controllers.

Buoys are widely used in marine areas because they can mark positions and simultaneously acquire and exchange underwater, surface, and airborne information. Recently, the need for controlling and optimizing a buoy's position and attitude has been raised to achieve successful communication in a heterogeneous collaborative network composed of an underwater robot, a surface robot, and an airborne robot. A buoy in the form of a marine robot would be ideal to address this issue, as it can serve as a moving node of the communication network. Therefore, a buoy-based autonomous surface robot-kit with the abilities of sonar-based avoidance, dynamic position control, and static attitude control was developed and is discussed in this paper. The test and evaluation results of this kit show the possibility of real-world applications and the need for additional studies.

Location services are used in mobile ad hoc and hybrid networks to locate either the geographic position of a given node in the network or a data item. One of the main usages of position location services is presented in location based routing algorithms. In particular, geographic routing protocols can route messages more efficiently to their destinations based on the destination node's geographic position, which is provided by a location service. In this paper, we propose an adaptive location service on the basis of fuzzy logic called FHLS (Fuzzy Hierarchical Location Service) for mobile ad hoc networks. The adaptive location update scheme using the fuzzy logic on the basis of the mobility and the call preference of mobile nodes is used by the FHLS. The performance of the FHLS is to be evaluated by a simulation, and compared with that of existing HLS scheme.
