This study reviewed the overall process of application of contaminant fate and transport model as part of risk assessment. Site characterization and establishment of a conceptual model prior to establishing or selecting a appropriate model were described. Types of models, model selection guidance, and generic site conditions for model application were presented, the process of model calibration, validation, and sensitivity analysis were reviewed. Objectives of modeling should be defined before model selection, and the complexity of selected models should balance the quantity and quality of available input data with the desired model output. If model output is highly sensitive to an assumed or default value of input parameter, or fate and transport models cannot be adequately calibrated or validated, consideration should be given to other options such as using measured data or using another model.

Although the study in If behavior field has recently increased, only few studies have focused on the moderating effect of adopter type on the post adoption behavior The purpose of this study is to verify the post-adoption behavior depending on adopter types in the mobile Internet domains. This study proposed a post adoption model based on prior continuance model. This theoretical model was verified empirically by conducting web surveys and multi group analysis. Based on the survey data, we classified users into continuer and discontinuer. This paper ends with theoretical and managerial implications of the study results, as well as limitations and future research directions.

Much effort has been made to reliably measure customer satisfaction in the industry. Considering different ways of measuring and indexing satisfaction, the research on customer satisfaction warrants further development. We examined the major customer satisfaction indices along with the prior research stream of satisfaction, focusing on ACSI (American Customer Satisfaction Index). We, then, presented the empirical results of customer satisfaction model, using the data collected toward some public services provided by Seoul Metropolitan Government-owned businesses, which implied the usefulness of ACSI model. Finally, we discussed the study findings and limitations.

In the past decade, various search engines have been developed to retrieve web pages that web surfers want to find from world wide web. In search engines, one of the most important functions is to evaluate and rank web pages for a given web surfer query. The prior algorithms using hyperlink information like PageRank incur the problem of 'topic drift'. To solve the problem, relevance propagation models have been proposed. However, these models suffer from serious performance degradation, and thus cannot be employed in real search engines. In this paper, we propose a new ranking algorithm that alleviates the topic drift problem and also provides efficient performance. Through a variety of experiments, we verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm over prior ones.

Concrete filled steel tube(CFT), which has superior ductility and strength, is used for building column, bridge piers of ocean structure. Shear design equations of CFT existing in structural design provisions are excessively conservative. It has an effect on constructability and the economics of CFT. However, to suggest the reasonable shear design equation, experimental studies on the shear capacity of CFT have been rarely conducted. This study is analytical research to suggest improved shear design equations of large-diameter concrete-filled steel tubes. This analytical research was conducted to apply finite element analysis model of CFT based on the prior research. It was verified by comparison with prior test results. The verified model was used for parameter studies to estimate the influence of overhang length, concrete compressive strength and diameter-thickness ratio on shear strength.

Different from previous studies, this study focuses on accommodation providers' personalization services and platform convenience variables, identifying how these prior factors affect perceived value and trust in accommodation services on a shared homestay platform, and how consumers' innovation plays a role in the process. Through this, we would like to identify the mechanism of interaction between accommodation service providers and consumers mediated by the shared homestay platform and present implications for a more customer-centered platform operation strategy. This study has an extended meaning for prior research, empirically confirming that the increase in personalized offline service quality of personalized hosts in shared economic models has a positive impact on perceived value and platform trust of consumers. At the same time, we confirm that under the shared economy model, consumers' innovation propensity plays an important positive role in regulating their perceived value aspects as well as their confidence in the platform.

The concepts of entrepreneurship are very various. So many researchers are confused or not sure of the concepts of entrepreneurship. Some entrepreneurship researches has defined the entrepreneurship as 'self-employment. This study try to set a comprehensive conceptual model of concepts of entrepreneurship through classification of word and phrase with job analysis and competence model. Several concepts of entrepreneurship which important prior researchers, had defined are analysed into 'subject', 'object', 'verb', 'goal and behavioral results' with content analysis. Also, Several concepts of entrepreneur which important prior researchers had defined, are analysed into 'individual psychological traits', 'competence and ability', 'motive', and 'function or job (business).' This study suggests a integrated conceptual model of entrepreneurship based on analysed results.

This paper proposes two methods of estimating prior distribution to improve the performance of rapid speaker adaptation based on maximum a posteriori linear regression (MAPLR). In general, prior distribution of the transformation matrix used in MAPLR adaptation is estimated from all of the training speakers who are employed to construct the speaker-independent model, and it is applied identically to all new speakers. In this paper, we propose a method in which prior distribution is estimated from a group of reference speakers, selected using adaptation data, so that the acoustic characteristics of the selected reference speakers may be similar to that of the new speaker. Additionally, in MAPLR adaptation with block-diagonal transformation matrix, we propose a method in which the mean matrix and covariance matrix of prior distribution are estimated from two groups of transformation matrices obtained from the same training speakers, respectively. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methods, we examine word accuracy according to the number of adaptation words in the isolated word recognition task. Experimental results show that, for very limited adaptation data, statistically significant performance improvement is obtained in comparison with the conventional MAPLR adaptation.

In this study, to predict the microstructure in weld HAZ of low alloyed steel, prediction model for the phase transformation considering the influence of prior austenite grain size and cooling rate was developed. For this study, six low alloyed steels were designed and the effect of alloying elements was also investigated. In order to develop the prediction model for ferrite transformation, isothermal ferrite transformation behaviors were analyzed by dilatometer system and 'Avrami equation' which was modified to consider the effect of prior austenite grain size. After that, model for ferrite phase transformation during continuous cooling was proposed based on the isothermal ferrite transformation model through applying the 'Additivity rule'. Also, start temperatures of ferrite transformation were predicted by $A_{r3}$ considering the cooling rate. CCT diagram was calculated through this model, these results were in good agreement with the experimental results. After ferrite transformation, bainite transformation was predicted using Esaka model which corresponded most closely to the experimental results among various models. The start temperatures of bainite transformation were determined using K. J. Lee model. Phase fraction of martensite was obtained according to phase fractions of ferrite and bainite.
