As increasing trade through the world, especially in food, asymmetry of information can make the trade shrink. With the industrial development, Korea's agriculture had shrunk dramatically. By the result of the nation's industrial restructuring, over than 3/4 of Korea food consumption comes from abroad. And China is an important source of agricultural product to Korea. Increasing family income and increasing importing food consumption, Korean consumers have been interested in food safety. Especially. after experiencing several cases like struggle for safety of GMO food, poultry influenza, lead contained Chinese fish import, mad cow disease, cheating origin, etc. Obviously, those unreliable cases will hinder the increase of world free trade as well as the trust of two countries. Furthermore, distrust will be a cause of adverse selection. So, it need to find a way to solve the distrust which caused by asymmetry of information. And automatic identification procedures can help mitigate asymmetry of information in trade. And it will make Korean consumers can avoid adverse selection. This paper suggests adoption of Auto ID to encourage agricultural trade between Korea and China.

Directional (sinistral) asymmetry (DA) occurs when the traits of one side of a supposedly bilaterally symmetrical organism differ in a random way from those of the other side. We examined asymmetries in gonadal growth traits within both sexes of hatchery reared ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis. The pattern of the gonadal growth from hatching to 320 days after hatching was a type of DA except for the growth in gonad weight from 140 to 180 days after hatching, although the ovary of the right side tended to exhibit more pronounced DA phenomenon.

This study analyzed structural changes and asymmetry of price volatility during the period before and after a point of structural change in price volatility, using the Korean fresh common squid daily retail price data from January 1, 2004 to September 30, 2015. This study utilized the following analytical methods: the unit-root test was applied to ensure the stability of the data, the Quandt-Andrews breakpoint test was applied to find the point of structural change, and the Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle GARCH and EGARCH models were applied to investigate the asymmetry of price volatility. The empirical results of this study are as follows. First, ADF, PP, KPSS and Zivot-Andrews tests showed that the daily retail price change rate of the Korean fresh common squid differentiated by logarithm was stable. Secondly, the ARIMA (2,1,2) model was selected by information criteria such as AIC, SC, and HQ. Thirdly, the Quandt-Andrews breakpoint test found that a single structural change in price volatility occurred on June 11, 2009. Fourthly, the Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle GARCH and EGARCH models showed that estimates of coefficients within the models were statistically significant before and after structural change and also that asymmetry as a leverage effect existed before and after structural change.

Purpose : The purposes of this study were to find correlations among Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale, walking velocity, walking asymmetry and balance ability. Methods : The study sample consisted of 50 stroke patients referred to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Sanggye Paik, Ilsan Paik, Seoul Paik, and Dobong Hospital. All subjects were ambulatory with or without an assistive device. All participants were assessed on Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale and walking velocity, walking asymmetry. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Results : The results revealed that upper extremity coordination, balance and pain items of Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale were significantly correlated with walking velocity and upper extremity and upper extremity motor and balance items of Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale were significantly correlated with walking asymmetry. Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale was not significantly correlated with Static Balance Index, Dynamic Balance Index and Weight Distribution Asymmetry Index. Their power of explanation regarding comfortable walking velocity and comfortable walking asymmetry were 60.3%, 42.5% respectively. Conclusion : These results showed that Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is significantly correlated with walking velocity, asymmetry and not significantly correlated with balance ability. Therefore Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is an appropriate assessment tool to predict walking ability of patients with stroke. Futher study about walking velocity and asymmetry by change of Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is needed using a longitudinal study design.

Walking on split-belt treadmill has been applied to study walking disabilities, such as osteoarthritis (OA), to show asymmetric walking characteristics. In this study, we compared asymmetric walking in OA patients with healthy subjects under split-belt conditions and examined the reproduction of walking asymmetry in OA. Seven OA patients were instructed to walk at four frequencies, while four healthy subjects walked on a treadmill with tied-belt and split-belt conditions. To compare walking asymmetries, kinetic and kinematic measurements were made using force-plates and motion capture cameras, and subsequently center of mass (CoM) velocity, mechanical work and potential energy were calculated. Horizontal velocity change during split-belt walking of healthy subjects was similar to OA patients. Difference of mechanical work during single support phase occurred due to fall of CoM in fast belt. OA walking asymmetry could be reproduced by reducing differences of belt speeds to prevent rapid fall of CoM.

안면 비대칭은 다양한 원인에 의해 발병되기 때문에 원인 분석이 중요하고, 평가하는데 있어서 정량적인 지표가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 웹켐을 이용하여 얻은 영상을 영상처리 및 연산부를 거쳐 마커를 추적하고 마커 간의 거리를 계산하여 안면 마비를 평가하는데 정량적인 지표로 사용하던 Nottingham Grading System을 안면 비대칭을 평가하는데 적용해 보았다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System은 표정 변화에 따른 안면부의 특징점 들간의 거리변화를 합산하여 좌, 우를 비교하기 때문에 특정 케이스의 경우 측정 오류를 불러일으키는 문제점이 있었다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System과 문제점을 보완하여 개선시킨 평가지표를 이용하여 안면비대칭인 피실험자와 정상의 피실험자를 비교하였다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System에서는 안면 비대칭의 경우 99.0%, 정상의 경우 95.0%로 둘 다 정상 범위 속에 포함되었다. 하지만 개선시킨 Nottingham Grading System에서는 안면 비대칭의 경우 74.0%, 정상의 경우 93.2%의 결과가 나왔다. 본 연구의 결과로 인해, 개선시킨 Nottingham Grading System은 각 부위별 상세한 평가 및 진단이 가능하고, 기존 Nottingham Grading System의 '문제점을 보완하였음을 보여주었다.

We report on the analytical results of examination of fully developed asymmetric flow and heat transfer between parallel plane plates. The asymmetry was introduced by roughening one of the plane while the other was left smooth. The integral method together with a turbulence model based on modified Prandtl's mixing length theory for the rough was used to determine the velocity distribution and friction. The temperature distrtibution is then predicted and heat transfer coefficients are calculated. The present paper shows that the heat transfer increases more than the friction factor for a given roughness structure. Generally the results show the strong effect of asymmetry on engineering parameters. Furthermore it is the roughness structure which influences the nature of asymmetry and heat transfer.

As users' interests of cryptocurrency has been increased, investment volume of it also increases. In the cryptocurrency market, it cannot always be distributed homogenous information to all investors, similar to the stock market because it reflects the characteristics of a market microstructure. Cryptocurrency traders, thus, like stock investors, can experience the information asymmetry in the market and cannot but help to depend on private information. The purpose of this study is to estimate the trading intensity of informed traders and uninformed traders among cryptocurrency investors around the world based on PIN (Probability of Informed Trading). We have an aim to compare the difference of information asymmetry according to the ten types of cryptocurrency. The results of this study are expected to prevent the continuous increase of suspicious transactions related to cryptocurrency and contribute to the development of a sound cryptocurrency market.

This paper presents a study on rotor asymmetry caused by broken bars and its effects on the stator current of an induction machine under an unbalanced supply voltage. The simulation of the induction machine is based on the finite element method. In the early stage of diagnosis, we show new sidebands specific to the partial rupture of the rotor bar. Experimental tests corroborate with the simulation results.
