  • 산업현장에서 복합 실시간 계통(HRTS: Hybrid Real-Time Systems) 개발을 위한 정형기법 사용의 주된 장벽은 인지적 어려움이며 이는 또 다른 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 HRTS 요구분석과 안전성 분석 시 사용자의 인지적 부담을 줄여줄 수 있는 정성적 요구분석 체계를 제안한다. 이 체계는 요구사항 명세를 위한 정성적 정형기법(QFM: Qualitative Formal Method)과 인과정보에 의한 요구사항 안전성 분석기법(CRSA: Causal Requirements Safety Analysis)으로 구성되어 있다. QFM에서는 인공지능 분야에서 연구된 정성추론 이론을 정형명세에 도입하여 요구사항 설계자와 분석자의 인지적 부담을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. CRSA는 QFM에서 도출한 HRTS 동작의 인과 정보에 따라 체계적으로 위험 원인을 추적할 수 있도록 하여, 기존 결함 트리 분석(FTA: Fault Tree Analysis) 기법의 단점인 분석자의 주관에 의존하는 문제를 해결한다. 월성 원자력 발전소 자동정지계통(Shutdown System 2) 소프트웨어 요구사항 명세와 안전성 분석에 QFM과 CRSA를 적용하여 그 실효성을 입증하고자 하였다.

  • This quantitative study helps develop a measurement tool for consumer experiences inside and outside of a fashion brand store in a large shopping center along with a previous qualitative study that utilized a consumer interview. An expert group interview was conducted to verify the result of the previous qualitative study. Subjects were selected through convenient sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was developed to collect the data. We used 666 questionnaires for data analysis. To analyze data, reliability analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis and measurement equivalence verification were conducted with a statistical package of SPSS 21.0 and Amos 18.0. We used 27 questions in 8 factors for consumer experience inside of the fashion brand store: fashion product, VMD, salesperson responsiveness, salesperson specialty, salesperson's special treatment, salesperson's respect for customers, and positive/negative emotion. We used 27 questions concerning seven factors for the consumer experience outside of a fashion brand store that encompasses a large shopping center: experience with brand and product category diversity, experience with promotion and event, esthetic experience, experience with culture and entertainment, experience with recreational behavior, experience with reputation and sense of pride, and experience with customers.

  • Objective: It is uncertain why a b-value range of 1500-2000 s/mm2 is optimal. This study was aimed at qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing the optimal b-value range of synthetic diffusion-weighted imaging (sDWI) for evaluating prostatic index lesions. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 92 patients who underwent DWI and targeted biopsy for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-suggested index lesions. We generated sDWI at a b-value range of 1000-3000 s/mm2 using dedicated software and true DWI data at b-values of 0, 100, and 1000 s/mm2. We hypothesized that lesion conspicuity would be best when the background (i.e., MRI-suggested benign prostatic [bP] and periprostatic [pP] regions) signal intensity (SI) is suppressed and becomes homogeneous. To prove this hypothesis, we performed both qualitative and quantitative analyses. For qualitative analysis, two independent readers analyzed the b-value showing the best visual conspicuity of an MRI-suggested index lesion. For quantitative analysis, the readers assessed the b-value showing the same bP and pP region SI. The 95% confidence interval (CI) or interquartile range of qualitatively and quantitatively selected optimal b-values was assessed, and the mean difference between qualitatively and quantitatively selected b-values was investigated. Results: The 95% CIs of optimal b-values from qualitative and quantitative analyses were 1761-1805 s/mm2 and 1640-1771 s/mm2 (median, 1790 s/mm2 vs. 1705 s/mm2; p = 0.003) for reader 1, and 1835-1895 s/mm2 and 1705-1841 s/mm2 (median, 1872 s/mm2 vs. 1763 s/mm2; p = 0.022) for reader 2, respectively. Interquartile ranges of qualitatively and quantitatively selected optimal b-values were 1735-1873 s/mm2 and 1573-1867 s/mm2 for reader 1, and 1775-1945 s/mm2 and 1591-1955 s/mm2 for reader 2, respectively. Bland-Altman plots consistently demonstrated a mean difference of less than 100 s/mm2 between qualitatively and quantitatively selected optimal b-values. Conclusion: b-value range showing a homogeneous background signal may be optimal for evaluating prostatic index lesions on sDWI. Our qualitative and quantitative data consistently recommend b-values of 1500-2000 s/mm2.

  • 민간투자사업은 민간의 참여를 통해 사회기반시설을 효율적으로 확충하기 위하여 시행되고 있다. 2005년도부터는 기존의 도로, 항만 등을 비롯한 산업기반시설 뿐만 아니라 학교시설, 환경시설 등을 포함한 생활기반시설까지 그 범위가 확대되게 되었다. 따라서 사업의 추진방식도 기존에는 BTO 방식이 주로 이용되었지만 새로이 추가된 민간투자사업에서는 BTL 방식이 도입되게 되었다. BTL 방식은 민간투자 적합 여부를 판단하기 위하여 민간투자 적격성 조사를 실시하며 이는 정량적 VFM과 정성적 VFM으로 구분된다. 본 연구에서는 명확한 결과 도출이 어려운 정성적 VFM의 평가항목을 설정하고 전문가를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 후 AHP 기법을 활용하여 상대적 중요도와 가중치를 산정하였다. 이상의 내용은 정량적 VFM과 더불어 정성적 측면의 효율성 및 발생편익을 효과적으로 평가 가능하게 함으로써 BTL 시행여부에 대한 합리적 의사결정을 지원할 것으로 판단된다.

  • We performed an importance analysis of In-Service Testing (157) components for Ulchin Unit 3 using the integrated evaluation method for categorizing component safety significance developed in this study. The developed method is basically aimed at having a PSA expert perform an importance analysis using PSA and its related information. The importance analysis using the developed method is initiated by ranking the component importance using quantitative PSA information. The importance analysis of the IST components not modeled in the PSA is performed through the engineering judgment, based on the expertise of PSA, and the quantitative and qualitative information for the 157 components. The PSA scope for importance analysis includes not only Level 1 and 2 internal PSA but also Level 1 external and shutdown/low power operation PSA. The importance analysis results of valves show that 167 (26.55%) of the 629 IST valves are HSSCs and 462 (73.45%) are LSSCs. Those of pumps also show that 28 (70%)of the 40157 pumps are HSSCs and 12 (30%) are LSSCs.

  • Observation of the effects of a handset subsidy on the mobile telecommunication industry has revealed two different aspects. The activation of various mobile services and the handset market, has led to the rapid acceleration of the related technological development, which is a desirable result, while rising prices and the overspending of related resources are undesirable. A great deal of research has been conducted to assess both desirable and undesirable factors using qualitative methods. However, quantitative studies into the effects of a handset subsidy are rare. In this study, we consider the positive and negative effects on consumer welfare of a change in demand and prices brought about by a handset subsidy. Then, we quantitatively compare the positive and negative effects and analyze their direct effects on consumer welfare.

  • Background: Furosine (${\varepsilon}$-N-2-furoylmethyl-L-lysine, FML) is an amino acid derivative, which is considered to be an important indicator of the extent of damage (deteriorating the quality of amino acid and proteins due to a blockage of lysine and a decrease in the digestibility of proteins) during the early stages of the Maillard reaction. In addition, FML has been proven to be harmful because it is closely related to a variety of diseases such as diabetes. The qualitative analysis of FML in fresh and processed ginsengs was confirmed using HPLC-MS. Methods: An ion-pair reversed-phase LC method was used for the quantitative analysis of FML in various ginseng samples. Results: The contents of FML in the ginseng samples were 3.35-42.28 g/kg protein. The lowest value was observed in the freshly collected ginseng samples, and the highest value was found in the black ginseng concentrate. Heat treatment and honey addition significantly increased the FML content from 3.35 g/kg protein to 42.28 g/kg protein. Conclusion: These results indicate that FML is a promising indicator to estimate the heat treatment degree and honey addition level during the manufacture of ginseng products. The FML content is also an important parameter to identity the quality of ginseng products. In addition, the generation and regulation of potentially harmful Maillard reaction products-FML in ginseng processing was also investigated, providing a solid theoretical foundation and valuable reference for safe ginseng processing.
