  • Recently, various industries have appeared which are applied ubiquitous technology. Particularly, health and medical fields, have been focused as future's industry, have been combined with ubiquitous system. This is what we called' u-Health industry. Korean government has encouraged local governments to develop specialized high value-added industries along each local's circumstance. According to the policy, I had an assumption that u-Health industry is Chungbuk province's specialized high value-added industry and studied marketing strategy for the point of penetration into markets. I presented STP strategy for international markets. This strategy referred to developed countries' aging index and based on Modigliani's life cycle hypothesis. Finally, considering none of u-Health has been released, I presented strategies of marketing mix to be utilized when u-Health items march into the markets.

  • According to the building regulation U-value limitation of window is $3.3W/m^2{\cdot}K$ in southern regions, while U-value limitation of wall is $0.35{\sim}0.58W/m^2{\cdot}K$. It means that the energy loss through windows is five times more than it through wall. Therefore, this study analyze how much it has affected building energy rating when the insulation performance of windows and walls is changed by building regulation. In conclusion, in order to obtain 2 rating thermal performance of windows is improved more than 10 percent of U-value limitation and it of wall is improved more than 20 percent. The thermal performance of windows is improved more than 20 percent of U-value limitation and it of wall is improved more than 30 percent to receive 1 rating.

  • This study examines the effect of managerial ownership on firm value in capital markets where outside governance mechanisms to discipline managers are weak or non-existent. We hypothesize that strong market forces in the U.S. confound the effect of managerial ownership on firm value, i.e., the convergence of interest argument. We test the hypothesis using data from 112 firms from Singapore Stock Exchange and 205 firms from the Stock Exchange of Thailand prior to the Asian financial crisis in 1997 when the market forces were weak, yet the investor protection was sufficient to prevent outright appropriation from management. For ease of comparison, we use methodologies from studies done on the U.S. sample firms during the same study period as ours. We find that, both in Singapore and Thailand, firm value is a function of managerial ownership, and the relation is of the famous inverted U-shaped. Moreover, the relation is robust under different model specifications. The results from Thai sample, with weaker market forces than in Singapore, lend support to many agency cost hypotheses advanced in the U.S. Our results provide useful implication for investors in emerging and frontier markets where outside governance mechanisms are yet to be fully developed.

  • In this paper we establish some recurrence relations satisfied by quotient moments of upper record values from the Pareto distribution. Let {$X_n,n\qeq1$}be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with a common continuous distribution function(cdf) F($chi$) and probability density function(pdf) f($chi$). Let $Y_n\;=\;mas{X_1,X_2,...,X_n}$ for $ngeq1$. We say $X_{j}$ is an upper record value of {$X_{n},n\geq1$}, if $Y_{j}$$Y_{j-1}$,j>1. The indices at which the upper record values occur are given by the record times ${u( n)}n,\geq1$, where u(n) = min{j|j >u(n-l), $X_{j}$$X_{u(n-1)}$,n\qeq2$ and u(l) = 1. Suppose $X{\epsilon}PAR(\frac{1}{\beta},\frac{1}{\beta}$ then E$(\frac{{X^\tau}}_{u(m)}}{{X^{s+1}}_{u(n)})\;=\;\frac{1}{s}E$ E$(\frac{{X^\tau}}_{u(m)}{{X^s}_{u(n-1)}})$ - $\frac{(1+\betas)}{s}E(\frac{{X^\tau}_{u(m)}}{{X^s}_{u(n)}}$ and E$(\frac{{X^{\tau+1}}_{u(m)}}{{X^s}_{u(n)}})$ = $\frac{1}{(r+1)\beta}$ [E$(\frac{{X^{\tau+1}}}_u(m)}{{X^s}_{u(n-1)}})$ - E$(\frac{{X^{\tau+1}}_u(m)}}{{X^s}_{u(n-1)}})$ - (r+1)E$(\frac{{X^\tau}_{u(m)}}{{X^s}_{u(n)}})$]

  • In this paper we establish some recurrence relations satisfied by quotient moments of upper record values from the power distribution. Let {$X_n$, $n{\geq}1$} be a sequence of independent an identically distributed random variables with a common continuous distribution function(cdf) $F(x)$ and probability density function(pdf) $f(x)$. Let $Y_n=max\{X_1,X_2,{\cdots},X_n\}$ for $n{\geq}1$. We say $X_j$ is an upper record value of {$X_n$, $n{\geq}1$}, if $Y_j$ > $Y_{j-1}$, $j$ > 1.

Suppose $X{\in}POW(0,1,{\theta})$ then $$E\left(\frac{X^r_{u(m)}}{X^{s+1}_{u(n)}}\right)=\frac{\theta}{s}E\left(\frac{X^r_{u(m)}}{X^s_{u(n-1)}}\right)+\frac{(s-\theta)}{s}E\left(\frac{X^r_{u(m)}}{X^s_{u(n)}\right)\;and\;E\left(\frac{X^{r+1}_{u(m)}}{X^s_{u(n)}}\right)=\frac{\theta}{n+1}\left[E\left(\frac{X^{r+1}_{u(m-1)}}{X^s_{u(n+1)}}\right)-E\left(\frac{X^{r+1}_{u(m)}}{X^s_{u(n-1)}}\right)+\frac{r+1}{\theta}E\left(\frac{X^r_{u(m)}}{X^s_{u(n)}}\right)\right]$$.

  • Measurement error is one of main source of error in survey. It is generally defined as the difference between an observed value and an underlying true value. An observed value with error may be expressed as a function of the true value plus error term. In some cases, the measurement error variance may be also a function of the unknown true value. The error variance function can be rewritten as a function of true value multiplied by a scale factor. This research explore methods for estimation of the measurement error variance based on the data from complex sampling design. We consider the case in which the variance of mesurement error is a linear function of unknown true value, and the error variance scale factor is small. We applied our results to the U.S. Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (the U.S. NHANES III) data for empirical analyses, which has replicate measurements for relatively small subset of initial respondents's group.

  • Along with the steady development of Korean Railway construction technology, Contemporary society needs more modernized structures which can meet not only structural value but also aesthetic and environmental value. To follow this demand of society, Pre-Stressed Concrete U-girder bridge(Somg-Lim Gyo, L=330m) is introduced in 'JINJOO-KWANGYANG RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT'. On the environmental point of view, the huge noise due to the operation of train can be reduced remarkably by the side beam of U-girder which is high enough to substitute soundproofing wall. Moreover, by aesthetic variation of the shape of outer beams and coping of piers, the exterior view of the bridge can be improved and in accordance with surroundings. Pre-Stressed Concrete U-Girders which are built up above the outer sides of slab deck make easier to secure the clearance of a bridge and make it possible to lower the distance of centroid between superstructure and railroad tracks.

  • Vitamin U levels in 26 kinds of food plants are well known to healthy vegetables in Asian or Western countries were determined. Spinach showed the highest level of 452.04 mg/kg and in order Pack-choi (343.18 mg/kg) > Kale (234.18 mg/kg) > Somssukbujaengi (197.66 mg/kg) > leaf mustard (196.21 mg/kg) > aralia bud (192.50 mg/kg)> broccoli (189.03 mg/kg) >Asparagus (187.35 mg/kg). Among Korean wild medicinal plants, Sumssukbujaengi showed the highest value followed by Sanmanul (a kind of wild garlic) level of 143.46 mg/kg. For Chinese cabbages and cabbages, vitamin U showed different levels according to the parts of plant such as core, middle, outward leaves. In both samples, middle parts of leaves including midribs contained the highest level of vitamin U. The level of vitamin U was dependent on the part of the plant sample and cultivars. Leaf parts of turnip and white radish showed higher value of 84.82 mg/kg and 124.62 mg/kg than those of roots which were in order of middle (112.39 mg/kg), top (84.84 mg/kg) and bottom (84.61 mg/kg) portions in the white radish. In the analysis of amino acids, we didn't find either distinctive relationship between methionine and vitamin U synthesis or significant connection various free amino acids and vitamin U level in food plants.
