This study, by adopting case study methodology, is focused on examining the present state and analyzing the cause of the digital divide, and suggesting policies for bridging the divide, specifically in view of SMEs. We have taken cases of manufacturing companies, visiting and interviewing 18 SMEs in 10 APEC member economies which show sharp difference in usage of ICT. In order to analyze the digital gap among SMEs, we used 5 variables that are composed of computer hardware, computer software, Internet, readiness of ICT, and performance of ICT adoption, while categorizing the cases into low and high tier based on the national ICT index. From a computer hardware perspective, the high tier (0.66) has almost double the number of PC’s per employee, compared with the low tiers (0.34). This gap can be explained by financial availability of low income and high tariff in the developing economies. In the computer software perspective, the SMEs in the low tier had some restrictive use of computer applications such as financial and accounting management and document management, while those in the high tier enjoyed more diversity in the use of applications such as inventory management, sales management, financial and accounting management, procurement management, CRM, and ERP. In view of the readiness of ICT, the difference in ICT infrastructure and financial status between the low and high tier was far wider than any other variables. As a result of ICT adoption, SMEs benefited in view of learning and growth, internal business processes, customer service, and financial affairs. To effectively bridge the digital divide between the low and high tier, actions such as setting up a secondary market of used computers among cooperating developed and developing countries, developing and diffusing good business applications, and building speedy, low-cost telecommunication infrastructures should be taken.

최근 소셜 미디어의 성장과 모바일 장치와 같은 디지털 기기의 활용이 증가함에 따라 데이터가 기하급수적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 대용량의 데이터를 처리하기 위한 대표적인 프레임워크로 맵-리듀스가 등장하였다. 하지만 전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 균등한 데이터 배치를 기반으로 수행되는 기존 맵-리듀스는 가용성이 다른 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 적합하지 않다. 이러한 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경을 고려한 데이터 재배치 알고리즘이 제안되었지만, 재배치에 많은 시간을 필요로 하고, 불필요한 데이터 전송에 의한 네트워크 부하가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 맵-리듀스의 성능 최적화를 위한 효율적인 데이터 재배치 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 노드의 가용성 분석 모델을 기반으로 노드의 데이터 블록 비율을 연산하고, 기존의 데이터 배치를 고려하여 전송함으로써 네트워크 부하를 감소시킨다. 성능평가 결과, 제안하는 기법이 기존 기법에 비해 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

With the rapid growth of internet technologies and wide availability of multimedia computing facilities, the enforcement of multimedia copyright protection becomes an important issue. Digital watermarking is viewed as an effective way to deter content users from illegal distributions. In recent years, digital watermarking has been intensively studied to achieve this goal. However, when the watermarked media is transmitted over the channels modeled as the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, the watermark information is often interfered by the channel noise and produces a large number of errors. So many error-correcting codes have been applied in the digital watermarking system to protect the embedded message from the disturbance of the noise, such as BCH codes, Reef-Solomon (RS) codes and Turbo codes. Recently, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes were demonstrated as good error correcting codes achieving near Shannon limit performance and outperforming turbo codes nth low decoding complexity. In this paper, in order to mitigate the channel conditions and improve the quality of watermark, we proposed the application of LDPC codes on implementing a fairly robust digital image watermarking system. The implemented watermarking system operates in the spectrum domain where a subset of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients is modified by the watermark without using original image during watermark extraction. The quality of watermark is evaluated by taking Into account the trade-off between the chip-rate and the rate of LDPC codes. Many simulation results are presented in this paper, these results indicate that the quality of the watermark is improved greatly and the proposed system based on LDPC codes is very robust to attacks.

인터넷의 급속한 발전과 더불어 예견되는 미래의 응용 서비스들은 수많은 네트워크의 노드들을 연결하는 네트워크 기반 응용 서비스들이 주류를 이를 것으로 기대된다. 하지만 이러한 응용 서비스들이 운영되는 미래의 환경은 네트워크의 크기 및 트래픽의 양면에서 현재의 네트워크와는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 성장할 것이며, 이러한 구조에 맞는 응용 서비스들을 개발하기 위해서는 단순히 네트워크 인프라 처리속도를 향상시키는 것만으로는 효율적인 해결방안이 될 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 컴퓨팅 기반 기술향상에 이바지하기 위해, 네트워크와 플랫폼 상에서 독자적이고 비동기적으로 작업을 수행할 수 있는 에이전트 기술을 이용한 에이전트 플랫폼 소프트웨어를 제안한다. 제안하는 에이전트 플랫폼 소프트웨어는 빠르게 증가하는 네트워크 호스트 수를 감당할 수 있는 확장성, 다양한 환경 변화에 대한 적응성 그리고 결함에 대처할 수 있는 가용성을 지원한다.

Studies have been carried out to determine the effect of sprinklers on fires typical of a number of occupancies including simulated of office furniture, supermarkets, carpet displays, libraries, video stores and liquor stores. After surveys of actual fire loads, the experiments were conducted in a specially designed sprinklered fire-calorimeter with a collecting hood 6 m x6 m leading to a vertical duct 1 m in diameter. Details of the rig are given elsewhere [1]. Only well ventilated fires were studied. Rate of heat release and production of various toxic chemicals were monitored during the tests. Both sprinklered and unsprinklered fires were used. The results were used to establish the unsprinklered burning behaviour and the fire-control effects of sprinklers. Before sprinkler operation, the rate of fire growth could be modelled as 12_fires as given in NFPA 92B (1991 Edition) [2]. It was found that operation of sprirnklers controlled but did not extinguish the fires. This was expected as parts of the fire load were shielded from the spray. Also there were significant increases in the concentration of carbon monoxide when the sprinklers operated. Sprinklers had little effect on the concentrations of other toxic products measured. The results from the tests were extrapolated to large single storey buildings for the same occupancy classes and the results used to compare the required and the available escape times for different occupancies, particularly whether the use of sprinklers would improve the chances of escape from those premises. It was found that in most of the cases studied, adequate escape times will be available without any special measures. For very rapid fire growths, however, special measures, such as availability of trained staff may be needed. Standard response sprinklers will have little impact.

Korea is one of the typical rice eating countries where availability of animal protein is limited even for the growing generation. Nutritive food products for infants and children are not available commercially in large scale at the present time, although a limited amount of expensive milk products are produced. The present study deals with a pioneering attempt on a new food mixture to meet this demand. Several food mixtures, possibly produced in the country, consisting of rice, soybean, FPC, vitamin, minerals and other food additives are developed in this work Sixty female and male rats aged $30{\sim}40$ days were divided into five groups, twelve rats each. The rats had been maintained with the six different diets, as follow. Formulation of proposed infant food mixturesComposition F-R-1 F-S-2 F-F-3 F-P-4 S Rice 100% 40% 37% 46% 70% Sugar - 12 13 10 70 Casein - - - - 20 Bean - 40 37 24 - Yeast - 3 2 3 - Mineral Vitamain - 2 4 2 4.3 F.P.C - 3 4 7 - Fat - - 4 8 4 Cod liver Oil - - - - 3 The findings of this study presented in FER, PER, final organ weights, body weights growth, percentage of nitrogen retention in the body. F-P-4 group tended to remain the heaviest and F-R-1 the lightest in the body weight among three groups throughout the experimental period. In terms of FER (Feed Efficiency Ratio) and PER (Prortein E. R.) value, F-P-4 group kept the highest record throughout. F-P-4 group showed the highest value of nitrogen retention in the body. In comparision between F-P-4 groups and casein 20% group (standard) in all respects of this experiment, F-P-4 group which is the most superior among experimental group, revealed statisfically no significant inferior than that of standard group. This fact could be interpreted that most limiting a. a., methionine in the soy protein produced little inferiority of the experimental groups in the study.
