  • The immobilization and consolidation of the model coatings based on the plastic pigment and latex binder of known particle sizes were theoretically Studied in terms of the dense random packing of binary spheres and varying extent of latex film shrinkage. The porosity of the model coatings was calculated based on three proposed latex shrinkage models: Maximum, Minimum, and Linearly Decreasing Latex Shrinkage. The increasing extent of latex shrinkage was calculated up to the critical pigment volume concentration(CPVC) as a function of plastic pigment volume fractions, and the maximum latex shrinkage was estimated from the CPVC. Also, the number of pores and the average equivalent spherical pore diameters were calculated based on those proposed models. The opacity and gloss of the model coatings on polyester films were measured and their porosity was also determined by a simple coat weight-thickness method. As expected, various coating structure-property-composition relationships, such as opacity, gloss, porosity, etc., were shown to exhibit sharp transitions near the CPVC. The CPVC values determined by the opacity, gloss, and porosity vs. PVC relationships, respectively, agreed very well with each other. Especially, the CPVC's determined by the opacity and porosity vs. PVC curves were identical. The comparison between the theoretically calculated and experimental porosity values showed that the intermediate value between the maximum and minimum latex shrinkage would best fit the experimental porosity data. The effect of plastic pigment particle size on the optical properties and porosity of model coatings was also studied and it was observed that the coating opacity and porosity increased with increasing plastic pigment particle size, but the gloss decreased. The ink gloss of the uncalendered model coatings applied onto commercial sheet offset coated papers was shown to be affected by both the coating gloss and porosity: the higher the coating gloss, the higher the ink gloss, but the higher the coating porosity, the lower the ink gloss. Their printability was also studied in terms of the number of passes-to-fail and the rate of ink setting as a function of both plastic pigment volume fractions and plastic pigment particle sizes. A minimum crack-free temperature(MCR) of latex-bound coatings was proposed to better predict the behaviors of latexes as coating binders. The wet state of model coating dispersions, the surfaces of consolidated model coatings, and their internal structure were examined by both electron and atomic force microscopy, and their micrographs were found to be consistent with our immobilization and consolidation models.

  • This study aimed to examine the Factor Structure of the teacher satisfaction scale (TSS) with distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as affirming the (Factorial Invariance) according to gender variable. It also aimed at identifying the degree of satisfaction according to some demographic variables of the sample. The study population consisted of all teachers in public education and faculty members in higher education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The (TSS) was applied to a random sample representing the study population consisting of (2399) respondents. The results of the study showed that the scale consists of five main factors, with a reliability value of (0.94). The scale also showed a high degree of construct validity through fit indices of the confirmatory factor analysis. The results have shown a gradual consistency of the measure's invariance that reaches the third level (Scalar-invariance) of the Measurement Invariance across the gender variable. The results also showed that the average response of the study sample on the scale reached (3.74) with a degree of satisfaction, as there are no statistically significant differences between the averages of the study sample responses with respect to the gender variable. While there were statistically significant differences in the averages with respect to the variable of the educational level in favor of the middle school and statistically significant differences in the averages attributed to the years of experience variable in favor of those whose experience is less than (5) years.

  • 본 연구는 1990-2007년간 중국 서부지역 12개 성 시 자치구에 대한 패널 데이터를 구축하여 시장추구형 가설과 생산효율추구형 가설을 통해 이 지역에 대한 FDI 결정요인을 분석하였다. 서부지역의 각 성별 외국인직접투자(FDI) 총액을 종속변수로, 시장규모, 개방도, 인구 및 노동력, 도시화, 임금, 산업구조, 민영화, 인적자본, 인프라 등을 독립변수로 사용하였으며, 서부대개발계획이 시작된 2000년을 기준으로 전후로 나누어 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 1990년대의 실증분석결과 시장규모, 산업구조 및 인적자본은 FDI와 정(+)의 유의한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타난 반면에 임금수준과는 부(-)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 본 연구에서 설정한 가설과 일치한다. 반면에 나머지 변수들에 대해서는 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 얻지 못했다. 둘째, 2000년대의 실증분석결과, 시장규모, 산업구조가 FDI와 정(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타난 반면에 개방도 및 임금과는 부(-)의 관계로 나타났다. 셋째, 1990년대와 2000년대의 실증분석 결과를 비교하면, 대체로 유사한 결과를 보이고 있는데, 이는 2000년대 서부대개발이 본격적으로 시행되었다고는 하나 서부지역의 경제구조가 눈에 띄게 변화되지는 않았다는 것을 의미한다.

  • 급속한 위성영상 공급확대에도 불구하고 자동화되지 못한 영상처리과정으로 인해 영상활용이 제약받는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 감독영상분류를 위한 훈련지역 선택과정을 자동화함으로써 영상처리과정의 비용과 시간을 절감하는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 토지피복 정보를 활용하여 훈련관심영역을 추출하는 방법을 최신영상에 적용하여 토지피복분류를 실행한 후 분류정확도를 평가하였다. 원주시 도심지역을 대상지로 하여 토지유형을 시가지역과 농지/초지, 숲, 나대지 및 수계로 나누고 유형별 훈련관심영역을 환경부 중분류 토지피복지도를 활용하여 선택하였다. 관심영역 선택을 위해 먼저 토지피복지도 폴리곤 경계를 기준으로 negative buffer (-15m)를 적용하여 새로 폴리곤을 만들었고 너무 작은 폴리곤(<$2,000m^3$)과 큰 폴리곤(>$200,000m^3$)을 제외하였다. 선택된 폴리곤들의 밴드별 반사율 표준편차와 평균값 및 NDVI의 평균값을 계산하였다. 이 정보를 이용하여 먼저 표준편차가 적은 폴리곤 (폴리곤 내 반사율 값의 편차가 크지 않은 폴리곤)을 선택한 후 이들 중 반사율 평균값이 각 유형의 특징적인 분광특성을 반영할 수 있는 폴리곤을 관심영역으로 선택하였다. 2017년 Sentinel-2영상을 활용하여 토지피복유형을 분류한 결과 86.9%의 분류정확도($\hat{K}=0.81$)가 도출되었다. 본 연구에서 시도된 자동 관심영역 선택방법 적용한 결과 수동 디지타이징 과정을 생략하고도 높은 분류정확도를 도출 할 수 있었으며 이와 같은 방법을 통해 영상처리에 필요한 시간과 비용을 절약하여 급속히 증가하고 있는 영상을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있게 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Carbon dioxide($CO_2$) emission from rivers to the atmosphere is a key component in the global carbon cycle. Most of the rivers are supersaturated with $CO_2$. At a global scale, the amount of $CO_2$ emission from rivers is reported to be five-fold greater than that from lakes and reservoirs, but relevant data are rare in Korea. The objectives of this study is to estimate the $CO_2$ net atmospheric flux(NAF) from the upstream of Gangjeong-Goryeong Weir(GGW), Dalseong Weir(DSW), Hapcheon-Changnyeong Weir(HCW), and Changnyeong-Haman Weir(CHW) located in Nakdong River South Korea) using field and laboratory experiments and to apply data mining techniques to develop parsimonious prediction models that can be used to estimate $CO_2$ NAF with physical and water quality variables that can be collected easily. As a result, the study sites were all heterotrophic systems that often released $CO_2$ to the atmosphere, except when the algal photosynthesis was active.The median $CO_2$ NAF was minimum $391.5mg-CO_2/m^2$ day at GGW and maximum $1472.7mg-CO_2/m^2$ day at DSW. The $CO_2$ NAF showed a negative correlation with pH and Chl-a since the overgrowth of the algae consumed $CO_2$ in the water and increased the pH. As the parsimonious multiple regression model and random forest model developed, this study showed an excellent performance with the $Adj.R^2$ value higher than 0.77 in all weirs. Thus, these methods can be used to estimate $CO_2$ NAF in the river even if there is no $pCO_2$ measurement data.

  • NTRU는 1990년대 Hoffstein 등에 의해 제안된 격자(Lattice) 기반 공개키 암호체계로서 기존의 공개키 암호와 비교하여 동일한 안전성을 제공하면서 암호화 및 복호화 속도가 빠르며 양자 연산 알고리즘을 이용한 공격에도 강하다는 이점이 있어 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단순 전력 분석 공격과 통계적 특성을 이용한 전력 분석 공격인 상관계수 전력 분석 공격에 대한 NTRU의 안전성을 분석하고, NesC로 구현한 NTRU의 연산을 Telos 모트(mote)에서 수행시켜 측정한 전력 소모 데이터에 상관계수 전력 분석 공격을 적용하여 개인키 정보를 복원하는 실험 결과를 보인다. 또한 이러한 전력 분석 공격을 방지하기 위한 대응 방법을 제시한다. 먼저, 단순 전력 분석 공격을 방지하기 위해 연산 결과를 저장할 배열을 0이 아닌 수로 초기화시키는 방법을 제안하고, 통계적 특성을 이용한 전력분석 공격을 방지하기 위해 연산 순서를 변경하거나 컨볼루션(convolution) 연산에 사용되는 피연산자들에게 무작위성(randomness)을 부여하여 같은 입력에 대해서 랜덤한 전력 소모를 보이도록 하는 방법을 제안한다.

  • Objective: This study aims to evaluate the influence of dietary flavonoids on the growth performance, blood and intestinal profiles, and carcass characteristics of broilers by employing a meta-analysis method. Methods: A database was built from published studies which have reported on the addition of various levels of flavonoids from herbs into broiler diets and then monitored growth performance, blood constituents, carcass proportion and small intestinal morphology. A total of 42 articles were integrated into the database. Several forms of flavonoids in herbs were applied in the form of unextracted and crude extracts. The database compiled was statistically analyzed using mixed model methodology. Different studies were considered as random effects, and the doses of flavonoids were treated as fixed effects. The model statistics used were the p-values and the Akaike information criterion. The significance of an effect was stated when its p-value was <0.05. Results: Dietary flavonoids increased (quadratic pattern; p<0.05) the average daily gain of broilers in the finisher phase. There was a reduction (p<0.01) in the feed conversion ratio of the broilers both in the starter (linear pattern) and finisher phases (quadratic pattern). The mortality rate tended to decrease linearly (p<0.1) with the addition of flavonoids, while the carcass parameter was generally not influenced. A reduction (p<0.001) in cholesterol and malondialdehyde concentrations (both linearly) was observed, while super oxide dismutase activity increased linearly (p<0.001). Increasing the dose of flavonoids increased (p<0.01) the villus height (VH) and villus height and crypt depth (VH:CD) ratio (p<0.05) in the duodenum. Similarly, the VH:CD ratio was elevated (p<0.001) in the jejunum following flavonoid supplementation. Conclusion: Increasing levels of flavonoids in broilers diet leads to an improvement in growth performance, blood constituents, carcass composition and small intestinal morphology.

  • Purpose - Multi-National Enterprises (MNEs) tend to face a high level of institutional pressures in regions with high institutional development level. When complying with institutional pressures, firms try to make decisions to maximize profit while minimizing the risks to them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the institutional development level on institutional compliance timing by MNEs and the relationship between compliance speed and corporate performance. Design/methodology - The research focuses on three main variables, which are the institutional development level (as a determination of the institutional pressure level), the firm's compliance speed (as a determination of the compliance timing), and the firm's financial performance (as a determination of the corporate performance). We collected 19,869 firm-level data from CSMAR (the China Stock Market and Accounting Research), 6,922 CSR data from RKS (the Rankins CSR Ratings), and province and city-level data from the NERIM (National Economic Research Institute Index of Marketization) and NBSC (National Bureau of Statistics of China). The firms in China were chosen for analysis, and the analysis period was from 2008 to 2017. Random Effects GLS Regression was used to test the relationships among the variables. Findings - This study examined the effect of the institutional development level on the firm's compliance speed, together with the effect of compliance speed on the firm's financial performance of the MNEs in China. We found that the institutional development level positively influenced firms' financial performances, which means the firms' financial performances are better in the region with a high institutional development level. The compliance speed of institutional practice by firms was faster in the higher level of institutional development. However, the firm's delayed compliance led to better financial performance. Originality/value - Studies in the resource dependence view of Institutional Theory often fall short in understanding the theory by overlooking the firm's active decision-making. Thus, the findings do not present a full scope of corporate performance in this regard. This study not only found a way to test the role of a firm's independent decision-making (i.e., compliance timing) when facing the institutional pressure but also prove the significant role of the compliance timing on corporate performance. Also, we were able to test the effect of institutional development level, controlling location-specific variables because we used CSR performance data for MNEs operating in China. Lastly, by doing the above, the findings of this study suggest practical implications to the industry practitioners in MNEs.
