The purpose of this study is to estimate economic value of forest landscape function using conditional logit model, applied by Choice Experiment. For the study, we have chosen attributes and levels of forest landscape. In specific, topographical forest type, forest type, forest density, recreational factor (side trip, accessibility of valley) and WTP were included in attributes. Based on factors, we have made 48 choice sets with Balanced and Orthogonal form using SAS 9.1. The efficiency of questionnaire was 6.02 (D-Error: 0.1) and choice set and socio-economic variable were selected. In order to reduce cognitive load of respondent, 96 choice sets were divided into 4 types in questionnaire so that respondent could respond to 12 choice sets respectively. Population was citizens from 7 metropolitan cities including Seoul, and the interview survey was conducted to find out average annual WTP per household for the total 280 interviewees. As a result, In the Non-ASC model, Mcfadden' ${\rho}$ had 0.21, and Log Likelihood: -2,631. Average annual WTP per household for forest landscape was 266,723 Won(Korean currency).

Production of hydro-energy is random in its output amount due to the characteristics of the reservoir inflows. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the rationality in determining the amount of energy for a supply contract. This study presents a methodology for determining reasonably reliable amount of the energy supply considering the energy sale-incomes associated with the penalties which are subject to inflow-reliabilities. The objective function consists of the returns of energy sales and the risk-loss function to reflect statistically relevant risks. A range of the coefficient of the risk-loss function was figured out by its sensitivity analysis. The risk-loss herein means the penalty which should be paid by the energy supplier in case that the level of the energy supply is behind the contracted amount. And the reliability of reservoir inflow is defined by the exceedance probability of the inflow. The log-normal distribution was accepted as the probability density function of monthly inflows on the level of significance at 5%. Golden-ratio searching was applied to identify the optimal reliability and Incremental Dynamic Programming was used to maximize generation of the hydro-power energy in reservoir operation. The algorithm was the applied to the Daechung multi-purpose reservoir and hydro-power plant system in order to verify its usefulness.

The dependence of polarographic parameters on the pressure for the reduction of copper(II), cadmium(II), and zinc(II) complex ions with ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, and diethylenetriamine has been studied. In this study the dropping mercury electrode, the mercury pool electrode, and helix type of platinum wire were used as the working, the reference, and the auxilary electrode, respectively. With increasing the pressure from 1 atmosphere to 1,500 atmospheres, the reduction half-wave potentials of metal complex ions are shifted to the negative values and the diffusion currents become considerably larger, in keeping with the theory on the change of the physical properties of the electrolytic solution such as the density, the viscosity, the dielectric constant, and the electrical conductance, etc. The slope values of the logarithmic plot are increased with increasing the pressure, which indicates the more irreversible reduction. The temperature coefficients of diffusion current observed over the range of the temperature from 25$^{\circ}$C to 35$^{\circ}$C are about two percentage with increasing the pressure, therefore the polarographic reduction under the high pressure is controlled by diffusion. The linear relationships between diffusion current and concentration of metal complex ions are established over all pressure range.

Sewer deterioration models are needed to forecast the remaining life expectancy of sewer networks by assessing their conditions. In this study, the serious defect (or condition state 3) occurrence probability, at which sewer rehabilitation program should be implemented, was evaluated using four probability distribution functions such as normal, lognormal, exponential, and Weibull distribution. A sample of 252 km of CCTV-inspected sewer pipe data in city Z was collected in the first place. Then the effective data (284 sewer sections of 8.15 km) with reliable information were extracted and classified into 3 groups considering the sub-catchment area, sewer material, and sewer pipe size. Anderson-Darling test was conducted to select the most fitted probability distribution of sewer defect occurrence as Weibull distribution. The shape parameters (β) and scale parameters (η) of Weibull distribution were estimated from the data set of 3 classified groups, including standard errors, 95% confidence intervals, and log-likelihood values. The plot of probability density function and cumulative distribution function were obtained using the estimated parameter values, which could be used to indicate the quantitative level of risk on occurrence of CS3. It was estimated that sewer data group 1, group 2, and group 3 has CS3 occurrence probability exceeding 50% at 13th-year, 11th-year, and 16th-year after the installation, respectively. For every data groups, the time exceeding the CS3 occurrence probability of 90% was also predicted to be 27th- to 30th-year after the installation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes growth by oleanolic acid under sublethal stresses of NaCl and pH. L. monocytogenes ATCC15313 (6 log CFU/mL) was inoculated in microplate wells containing brain heart infusion (BHI) broth supplemented with oleanolic acid in various amounts (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and $4.0\;{\mu}g/mL$), and different pHs (5 and 7) and NaCl concentrations (0, 3, and 6%), followed by incubation under accelerated storage condition ($37^{\circ}C$, 48 h). The optical density (OD) of the samples was measured at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h at 600 nm. After the lag phase duration was observed at the early stage of incubation, the OD values of L. monocytogenes significantly increased (p<0.05) in BHI broth formulated with 0 and 3% of NaCl during accelerated storage at pH 5 and 7. However, the growth of L. monocytogenes in 6% NaCl and at less than $0.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ of oleanolic acid had no growth at pH 5 and only gradual growth at pH 7. Moreover, L. monocytogenes generally had lower OD values as the concentrations of oleanolic acid increased. As expected, the OD values of L. monocytogenes were generally higher (p<0.05) at pH 7 than at pH 5. These results indicate that oleanolic acid should be useful in inhibiting the growth of L. monocytogenes.

We present four new transits of the planetary system TrES-3 observed between 2009 May and 2010 June. Among those, the third transit by itself indicates possible evidence for brightness disturbance, which could originate from a starspot or an overlapping double transit. A total of 107 transit times, including our measurements, were used to determine the improved ephemeris with a transit epoch of $2454185.910950\pm0.000073$ HJED (Heliocentric Julian Ephemeris Date) and an orbital period of $1.30618698\pm0.00000016$ d. We analyzed the transit light curves using the JKTEBOP code and adopting the quadratic limb-darkening law. In order to derive the physical properties of the TrES-3 system, the transit parameters are combined with the empirical relations from eclipsing binary stars and stellar evolutionary models, respectively. The stellar mass and radius obtained from a calibration using $T_{eff}$, log $\rho$ and [Fe/H] are in good agreement with those from the isochrone analysis within the uncertainties. We found that the exoplanet TrES-3b has a mass of $1.93\pm0.07\;M_{Jup}$, a radius of $1.30\pm0.04\;R_{Jup}$, a surface gravity of $28.2\pm1.1\;m\;s^{-1}$, a density of $0.82\pm0.06\;\rho_{Jup}$, and an equilibrium temperature of $1641\pm23K$.

Mn-Co-Ni oxide system has been used as the NTC thermistors for normal temperature applications. Mn-Co-Ni oxide-based thermistors were sintered at different temperatures for a constant processing time from 900 to $1300^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The crystal structure, bulk density, microstructure and chemical composition were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and WD-XRF. The plot of the resistance versus measuring temperature was characterized for the sintered sample at the $1250^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the relationship between log resistivity and reciprocal of absolute temperature of the NTC thermistor was investigated.

With the emergence of the new service industry due to the development of information and communication technology, cyber space risks such as personal information infringement and industrial confidentiality leakage have diversified, and the security problem has emerged as a critical issue. In this paper, we propose a behavior-based anomaly detection method that is suitable for real-time and large-volume data analysis technology. We show that the proposed detection method is superior to existing signature security countermeasures that are based on large-capacity user log data according to in-company personal information abuse and internal information leakage. As the proposed behavior-based anomaly detection method requires a technique for processing large amounts of data, a real-time search engine is used, called Elasticsearch, which is based on an inverted index. In addition, statistical based frequency analysis and preprocessing were performed for data analysis, and the DBSCAN algorithm, which is a density based clustering method, was applied to classify abnormal data with an example for easy analysis through visualization. Unlike the existing anomaly detection system, the proposed behavior-based anomaly detection technique is promising as it enables anomaly detection analysis without the need to set the threshold value separately, and was proposed from a statistical perspective.

Option pricing models using L$\acute{e}$evy processes are suggested as an alternative to the Black-Scholes model since empirical studies showed that the Black-Sholes model could not reflect the movement of underlying assets. In this paper, we investigate whether the Variance Gamma model can reflect the movement of underlying assets in the Korean stock market better than the Black-Scholes model. For this purpose, we estimate parameters and perform likelihood ratio tests using KOSPI 200 data based on the density for the log return and the option pricing formula proposed in Madan et al. (1998). We also calculate some statistics to compare the models and examine if the volatility smile is corrected through regression analysis. The results show that the option price estimated under the Variance Gamma process is closer to the market price than the Black-Scholes price; however, the Variance Gamma model still cannot solve the volatility smile phenomenon.
