In SENSE, division process is used in order to get a raw sensitivity map. This process requires denominator which is estimated by "sum-of-squres". However, this image does not have uniformbrightness because of the non-symmetrical property of RF coil arrays. Thus, this study is focused on better estimation of the denominator image.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and investment-cash flow sensitivity, which is a surrogate for financing constraints. Research design, data, and methodology - Taking China's A-share listed companies between 2009 and 2016 as a sample, this paper empirically tests the relationship between CSRD and investment-cash flow sensitivity by Panel VAR model. By introducing the orthogonal impulse response function, this paper distinguishes the fundamental factors and financial ones that affect corporate investment behavior. Results - Findings indicate that: (1) investment-cash flow sensitivity of firms with low level of CSRD is significantly lower than that of firms with high level of CSRD; (2) the orthogonal impulse response of corporate investment to cash flow in firms with high level of CSRD is significantly different from zero, but it is not significant in firms with low level of CSRD; (3) for firms with low level of CSRD, 0.7% of corporate investment volatility can be explained by the change in cash flow, which is lower than that of firms with high level of CSRD (1.1%). Conclusions - Corporations disclosing more and higher quality CSRD are often those faced with financing constraints. Voluntary disclosure can help them alleviate information asymmetry and financing constraints.

The aim of this study was to examine price sensitivity of industrial products purchased via a group buying system and how industrial products for a group buying system differ from general industrial products, and then identify the major factors in selecting products and the important determinants in purchasing industrial products for school foodservices. The survey was conducted with 250 dietitians (teachers) in Gyeonggi-do Province, who were using industrial products for a group buying system and general industrial products. A paired t-test showed a difference in satisfaction between industrial products for a group buying system and general industrial products by factors, while statistically significant differences were found for red pepper paste, fermented soybean paste and soy sauce in all nine satisfaction factors, including product quality, packaging state, labeling, hygiene, item diversity, specification diversity, price appropriateness and supply. Moreover, analyzing price sensitivity for industrial products for a group buying system, using the PSM method with respect to the issue of high price, showed that the respondents considered that the current unit purchase prices were high for all items investigated. This study suggests that schools would purchase more industrial products for a group buying system, when the pricing of the products are considered with the purchase intention of dietitians (teachers).

Flame detectors has been used more than heat & smoke detector, because this is more effective to catch fire and ceiling height in spite of high price. For upgrade to flame detector, Compare to national or abroad standard about performance test, sensitivity test, sectioning indoor or outdoor, after service and management. As a result, Europe and America have only sensitivity test, no have not operation test and sectioning indoor & outdoor. In performance test, action is put to focus to credit and durability, Not operation test is to be able to tune the sensitivity to match the environment of the site. Also, we need code about aftercare, quality assurance responsibility and implement special detector institution by Certificate Authority implement.

In this paper, we design the meander line inductors with high sensitivity and high quality factor(Q) using high characteristic impedance of aperture ground plate. Sensitivity as a frequency is new defined by variation of effective inductance per analysis frequency range instead of self resonance frequency (SRF). An equivalent lumped circuit is derived to explain the characteristic of high frequency inductor. The 4 nH meander line inductor with aperture ground plate has 0.45 nH/GHz of good sensitivity and 86 of Q at 0.7 GHz.

When we estimate the parameters of software reliability models, we usually use maximum liklihood estimator(MLE). But this method is required a large data set. In particular, when we want to estimate it with small observed data such as early stages of testing, we give rise to the non-existence of MLE. Therefore, it is interesting to look into the influence of parameter estimators obtained using MLE. In this paper, we use two non-homogenous poisson process software reliability growth model: delayed S-shaped model and log power model. In this paper, we calculate the sensitivity of estimators about failure intensity function for two SRGMs respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a comparison of reliability prediction models between MIL-HDBK-217F and Telcordia SR-332 and to analyze the reliability prediction results. Methods: The reliability of industrial tablet PC was predicted using MIL-HDBK-217F and Telcordia SR-332. To analyze the results, sensitivity analysis was conducted. Results: The reliability of MIL-HDBK-217F was predicted lower than the one of Telcordia SR-332. Considering the factors such as temperature, quality and environment, those provided reliability change of a particular part which highly contribute to the system failure. Conclusion: It is necessary to design the industrial tablet PC that consists of integrated circuits such as microprocessor and memory considering the operating temperature and quality factors.

Purpose: This study proposes the main sources of uncertainty and uncertainty analysis of a measurement system of insensitive munitions tests. Methods: We established the mathematical model for calculating measurement uncertainty of insensitive munitions tests, conducted experiments for calculating uncertainties of dynamic sensitivity and overshoot value, and estimated the distributions of uncertainty factors. Results: The measurement uncertainty calculation methods are presented, which include experimental data processing methods for calculating uncertainties of dynamic sensitivity and overshoot value. Conclusion: The measurement of explosion pressure in insensitive munitions tests is an important issue to the reporting test results and classifying reaction types. The more efforts to ensure the reliability of the insensitive munitions tests results are required.

Generally, the Quality of a weld joint is strongly influenced by process parameters during the welding process. In order to achieve high quality welds, mathematical models that can predict the bead geometry to accomplish the desired mechanical properties of the weldment should be developed. To achieve this objectives, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted and compared the relative impact of three process parameters on bead geometry in order to verify the measurement errors on the values of the uncertainty in estimated parameters. The results obtained show that developed mathematical models can be applied to estimate the effectiveness of process parameters for a given bead geometry, and a change of process parameters affects the bead width and bead height more strongly than penetration relatively.
