  • This research focuses on the perception of security screeners using a full body scanner at airport which had been newly introduced to terminal 2 of Incheon Int'l airport. To accomplish the purpose of research, this paper used UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model. Through an empirical analysis, it was proven the factors consisting of technological acceptance and how those factors affect both organizational innovation at airport and job satisfaction of security screeners. According to an empirical analysis, it was found out all the factors of technological acceptance have a significant effect on both organizational innovation and job satisfaction. However, only the effort expectation was shown to have a significant negative effect on the two dependant variables contrary to the other variables (performance expectation, behavioral intention and self efficacy. It was also proven organizational innovation had a moderating effect between technological acceptance and job satisfaction. Such results suggested organizational innovation at airport security division is necessary to enhance job satisfaction using a newly introduced full body scanner.

  • Growth curves including Bass, Logistic and Gompertz functions are widely used in forecasting the market demand. Nonlinear least square method is often adopted for estimating the model parameters but it is difficult to set up the starting value for each parameter. If a wrong starting point is selected, the result may lead to erroneous forecasts. This paper proposes a method of selecting starting values for model parameters in estimating some growth curves by nonlinear least square method through grid search and transformation into linear regression model. Resealing the market data using the national economic index makes it possible to figure out the range of parameters and to utilize the grid search method. Application to some real data is also included, where the performance of our method is demonstrated.

  • The Network-based handover still has problems such as the transmission delays and the packet losses in the case of macro mobility, though technological advances have been made in the wireless and mobile communication. For end-to-end handover, the link bandwidth has been reduced in the wireless network due to its burst errors and congestion control. To overcome such problems, we propose a new scheme of the macro handover according to the protocol layer. The proposed macro handover is implemented on the network layer to partially substitute wired signaling for wireless signaling, to flexibly employ buffers, and on the transport layer to postpone its retransmission time. We have performed extensive simulation using ns-2 and the result shows that our proposed scheme outperforms the other existing schemes in terms of transmission delay, packet loss, and data transfer rate during the handovers.

  • Graphene, two-dimensional one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice, exhibits fascinating electrical properties, such as a linear energy dispersion relation and high mobility in addition to a wide-range optical absorption and high thermal conductivity. Graphene's outstanding tensile strength allows graphene-based electronic and photonic devices to be flexible, bendable, or even stretchable. Recently many groups have reported high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices based on graphene materials, i.e. field-effect transistors, gas sensors, nonvolatile memory devices, and plasmonic waveguides, in which versatile properties of graphene materials have been incorporated into a flexible electronic or optoelectronic platform. However, there are several fundamental or technological hurdles to be overcome in real applications of graphene in electronics and optoelectronics. In this tutorial we will present a short introduction to the basic material properties and recent progresses in applications of graphene to electronics and optoelectronics and discuss future outlook of graphene-based devices.

  • With new competitive environments, innovation is more necessary to survive severe competitions than ever. However, most Small and Medium(SM) businesses are used to be short of professional staffs, money and equipments for performing various innovations(ie., technological or administrative innovation, product development or Process development, and radical or incremental innovation). Many students have suggested that incremental innovation is more adequate than radical innovation in SM business. The purpose of this paper is to find antecedent factors In promote employees' Incremental Innovation Activities(IIA), In analyse moderating effects of ability and attitudes, and to test the difference of IIA-level by ability(or attitudes) and 11 independent factors. Each IIA-level by 5 variables of 11 independent variables-job variety, importance, identity, communication, performance dependency-is found to be significantly different in high-ability group affirmative-attitude group.

  • In recent years, as a consequence of the technological advancements in the automobile industry and changes in consumer demands, the reduction of noise inside vehicles rather than vehicle performance has increasingly become an important factor of interest. To date, most studies have focused on noise and vibration reduction techniques for the engine and drive system of vehicles. In this research, a comparative analysis for reducing the effect of vehicle seatbelts on the transient response is performed using the test of vehicle conditions and transient response analysis in accordance with seatbelt conditions. After the sensitivity analysis, the specifications for improvement were designed based on the transient response analysis. It was confirmed that the transient response characteristics were improved by the transient response analysis and vehicle conditions test. Through computer-aided engineering, the transient response characteristics of seatbelts were checked with less cost and time.

  • This study proceeded to examine the cause of the continuous secret information leakage in the firms. The purpose of this study is to find out what type of security among administrative, technological and physical security would have important influence on firm's security performance such as the security-incident response competence. We established the model that can empirically verify correlation between those three types of security and the security-incident response competence. In addition, We conducted another study to look at relation between developing department of security in the firms and reaction ability at the accidents. According to the study, the administrative security is more important about dealing with the security-incident response competence than the rest. Furthermore, a group with department of security has better the security-incident response competence and shows higher competence in fixing or rebuilding the damage. Therefore, this study demonstrates that investing in administrative security will be effective for the firm security.

  • This paper introduces a method which improves the performance of the identification of splice sites in the genomic DNA sequence of eukaryotes. This method combines a low order Markov model in series with a neural network for the predictions of splice sites. The lower order Markov model incorporates the biological knowledge surrounding the splice sites as probabilistic parameters. The Neural network takes the Markov encoded parameters as the inputs and produces the prediction. Two types of neural networks are used for the comparison. This method reduces the computational complexity and shows encouraging accuracy in the predictions of splice sites when applied to several standard splice site dataset.

  • KOMPSAT is a three-axis stabilized light weight satellite, and one of the main mission objectives of the KOMPSAT is to conduct scientific and technological analysis in the areas of high resolution imaging and ocean color imaging. This kind of mission requires the satellite to roll up to 45 degrees. Bang-bang control for this rolling maneuver may activate the flexible modes, and therefore cause satellite pointing performance degradation. To deal with this problem, the roll attitude control system, especially for the science mode and maneuver mode of the KOMPSAT, is first verified by numerical simulation. And the open-loop control law for roll maneuver is proposed by use of series expansion and optimization. The proposed control law is applied to KOMPSAT to see its effectiveness.
