The purpose of this research is to find out the impact of quality management and differentiation strategies on customer satisfaction and management performance in family restaurants. In particular, it aims to identify whether such quality management and differentiation strategy have positive influence on customer satisfaction and perceived customer satisfaction as indicated through management performance. For the empirical analysis, a questionnaire survey was applied to a total of 250 customers who experienced family restaurant service in Seoul during the past one year. The model was tested using SPSS 12.0 and visual PLS(partial least squares) programs on a sample of the 198 surveys which showed a 92% usable response rate. The results of empirical analysis showed as follows: 1) quality management has a significant effect on customer satisfaction and differentiation strategies but not significant on management performance. 2) differentiation strategies have a significant effect on customer satisfaction and management performance. 3) customer satisfaction has a significant effect on management performance.

This paper proposes a hybrid image coding in order to improve the coding performance by combining the BTC with the DPCM. And utilizing the human perceptual characteristics, a new objective image quality evaluation method has been proposed to obtain an excellent result in good agreement with the subjective quality evaluation. A hyb-1 method consisting of the DPCM and the AMBTC has retained a good picture quality at the bit rate of 1.5 bits/pel. A hyb-3 method combining the EBTC-3 with the DPCM has scarcely degraded the picture quality compared with the original image at the bit rate of 2.1 bits/pel. A newly proposed mehtod of picture quality evaluation accumulating a blocky noise at the edge block and an impulsive noise at the flat block selectively has been coincident with the subjective evaluation of quality.

Recently, 8 kb/s CS-ACELP coder of G.729 is atandardized by ITU-T SG15 and it has been reported that the speech quality of G729 is better than or equal to that of 32kb/s ADPCM. However G.729 is the fixed rate speech coder, and it does not consider the property of voice activity in mutual conversation. If we use the voice activity, we can reduce the average bit rate in half without any degradations of the speech quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient variable rate algorithm for G.729. The variable rate algorithm consists of two main subjects, the rate determination algorithm and algorithm, we combine the energy-thresholding method, the phonetic segmentation method by integration of various feature parameters obtained through the analysis procedure, and the variable hangover period method. Through the analysis of noise features, the 1 kb/s sub rate coder is designed for coding the background noise signal. So, we design the 4 kb/s sub rate coder for the unvoiced parts. The performance of the variable rate algorithm is evaluated by the comparison of speed quality and average bit rate with G.729. Subjective quality test is also done by MOS test. Conclusively, it is verified that the proposed variable rate CS-ACELP coder produced the same speech quality as G.729, at the average bit rate of 4.4 kb/s.

There may be several parallel equipments having the same function in a multi-stage manufacturing process, which affect the product quality differently and have significant differences in defect rate. The product quality may depend on what equipments it has been processed as well as what process variable values it has. Applying one model ignoring the presence of different equipments may distort the prediction of defect rate and the identification of important quality variables affecting the defect rate. We propose a procedure for data segmentation when constructing models for predicting the defect rate or for identifying major process variables influencing product quality. The proposed procedure is based on the principal component analysis and the analysis of variance, which demonstrates a better performance in predicting defect rate through a case study with a PDP manufacturing process.

Abstract JPEG2000 achieve quality scalability through the rate control method used in the encoding process, which embeds quality layers to the code-stream. This architecture might raise two drawbacks. First, when the coding process finishes, the number and bit-rates of quality layers are fixed, causing a lack of quality scalability to code-stream encoded with a single or few quality layers. Second, in Post compression rate distortion (PCRD) the bit streams after the truncation points discarded. Therefore, computational power for the discarded bit streams is wasted. For solving of problem, through bit rate control, there are many researches. Each proposed algorithms have specially target feature that is improved performance like reducing computational power. Research results have strength and weakness. For the mean time, research contents are reviewed and compared, so we proposed research direction in the future.

Agricultural reservoir water quality simulation model (ARSIM-rev) was developed in this study for water quality simulation of a small and shallow agricultural reservoir with limited observed water quality data. Developed ARSIM-rev is a zero-dimensional water quality model because of little spatial differences in water quality between stations in a small and shallow agricultural reservoir. ARSIM-rev used same water quality reaction equations with WASP except for several equations, and daily based input parameters such as settling rate, release rate from sediment, and light extinction coefficient changed yearly based input parameters in ARSIM-rev. A number of pre- and post-processors were developed such as auto calibration and scenario analysis for ARSIM-rev. CE-QUAL-W2, WASP, and developed ARSIM-rev were applied to Mansu agricultural reservoir to evaluate model performance, and ARSIM-rev demonstrated similar model performance with CE-QUAL-W2 and WASP when low number of observed data was used for agricultural reservoir water quality simulation. Overall, developed ARSIM-rev was feasible for water quality simulation in a small and shallow agricultural reservoir with limited observed water quality data, and it can simulate agricultural reservoir water quality precisely enough like common water quality model such as CE-QUAL-W2 and WASP within a limited time.

포스트 필터링(adaptive postfiltering)을 수신단의 마지막에세 수행 하였다. 첫째는, SBC 시스템의 대역 필터를 QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter) 대신 GQMF(Generalized QMF)를 사용하여 성능을 향상시켰고, 둘째는, 각 대역에 적응 비트 할당을 함으로써 음질의 향상뿐 아니라 variable rate 부호화할 수도 있었다. 세번째로는 APCM(Adaptive Plulse Code Modulation)과 ADPCM(Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation)을 부호화기로 사용하여 각각의 성능을 평가 한 결과, SB-APCM 의 성능이 우수하였다.또한, 수신단의 마지막에서 적응 포스트 필터링을 수행하여 부호화된 음성의 음질을 개선할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 두가지의 적응 포스트 필터링 기법을 제안하였는데 낮은 복잡성을 가지고도 부호화된 음성에서 상당량의 잡음 감쇄를 이룰 수 있었다.

Most of manufacturers try to produce the most efficient filter for respirators with the lowest breathing resistance. Filter performance depends on low penetration, i.e., high efficiency (%), and low pressure drop ($mmH_2O$). This study was performed to evaluate performance of respirator filters by quality factor ($q_F$) and suggest the direction for improvement of respirator filters of good quality in Korea. Two mechanical filters, S and K made in Korea, three filtering facepieces, S made in China, C made in Korea and M made in USA, which were widely used in the workplace, were selected and tested efficiency and pressure drop in accordance with flow rate, using with Automated Filter Tester Model 8110 (TSI, USA). The best quality factor within the same respirator filter categories was $0.0672cm^{-1}\;H_2O$ for mechanical filter S, $0.0698cm^{-1}\;H_2O$ for filtering facepiece M at flow rate of 32Lpm. Mechanical filter S would be the best suitable during heavy work since qulity factors decrease less sharply than any others as increased flow rates. It was necessary for mechanical filter S to lower pressure drop without increasing efficiency, but mechanical filter K should be increased efficiency and decreased pressure drop. While filtering facepiece M had the best quality performance of three ones, Sand C should get much higher efficiency and lower pressure for better performance.

The adequate compression algorithm is essential to achieve high quality embedded TTS system. in this paper, we Propose waveform interpolation coder for TTS corpus compression after many speech coder investigation. Unlike speech coders in communication system, compression rate and anality are more important factors in TTS DB compression than other performance criteria. Thus we select waveform interpolation algorithm because it provides good speech quality under high compression rate at the cost of complexity. The implemented coder has bit rate 6kbps with quality degradation 0.47. The performance indicates that the waveform interpolation is adequate for TTS DB compression with some further study.
