유도결합 플라스마 질량분석기(ICP-MS)와 유도결합 플라스마 원자방출분광기 (ICP-AES)를 이용하여 상업적으로 유통되고 있는 4 종의 분무기(Meinhard, ESI PFA, Cross-flow, Babington)와 한국표준과학연구원(KRISS)에서 직접 제작한 분무기인 KRISS Inert 분무기와 KRISS conespray 분무기의 성능을 평가하였다. 각 분무기의 압력, 시료주입량의 변화에 따른 시료주입 효율을 조사하였으며 ICP-MS와 ICP-AES에 연결하였을 때 시료주입량의 변화에 따른 감도, 안정성, 바탕선 세기, 산화물과 수소화물의 생성 비율을 조사하였다. 시료의 종류, 시료 양의 제한성, 분석기기의 종류, 분석 원소에 따라 가장 적합한 분무기를 선택해야 높은 감도, 낮은 바탕값, 안정한 신호세기 등의 좋은 분석결과를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

A solid phase extraction (SPE) method was optimized for the quantitative analysis of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in serum using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance SPE and LC-MS/MS. Fetal bovine serums spiked with $^{13}C_8$-PFOA before or after SPE were used as test samples for evaluation of the SPE efficiency. Simultaneous evaluation of matrix effects and absolute SPE recovery for $^{13}C_8$-PFOA in serum using different sample pre-treatments and SPE conditions allowed optimization of SPE process efficiency with minimal matrix effect and decent SPE recovery. Introduction of protein precipitation as a sample pre-treatment procedure for serum samples before SPE generally decreased matrix effect in LC-MS/MS analysis and provided more stable recovery of PFOA.

The Suspension Trapping (S-Trap) method has been a prominent sample preparation technique since its introduction in 2014. Its capacity to induce protein aggregation using organic solvents has significantly improved protein purification and facilitated peptide identification. However, its full potential for automation has been limited by the lack of a suitable liquid handling system until recently. In this study, we aimed to enhance the automation of S-Trap sample preparation by optimizing the S-Trap digestion process, incorporating triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) and CaCl₂. The utilization of TEAB buffer conditions in this innovative process led to a noteworthy 12% improvement in protein identification. Additionally, through careful observation of various incubation conditions, we streamlined the entire sample preparation workflow into a concise 4 hours timeline, covering reduction, alkylation, and trypsin incubation stages. This refined and expedited automated S-Trap digestion process not only showcased exceptional time efficiency but also improved trypsin digestion, resulting in increased protein identification.

This study investigates the impact of capital adequacy and operating efficiency on the performance of Saudi banks. In the first part, the study includes a brief introduction focused on the impact of capital adequacy and operating efficiency on the performance of banks. In the second part, a literature review examined various studies on the impact of capital adequacy and operating efficiency on banks' performance. The study methodology was presented in the third part, based on a sample that included all local Saudi banks from 2010 to 2021, using a study model to answer the study hypotheses. The results of the panel data regression indicated that CAR had a negative and significant effect on ROA and ROE but a negative and non-significant effect on NIM. CIR has a negative and significant effect on ROA, ROE, and NIM, while SIZE, LTD, and MS have a positive and significant effect on ROA, ROE, and NIM. Elimination of defects has no significant effect on return on assets, return on equity, and the NIF. But CR has no significant effect on ROA and ROE but has a positive and significant effect on NIM.

본 연구는 국내 발전정비산업의 기업 자료와 설문조사를 통해 효율성과 국제경쟁력 결정요인 분석을 시도하였다. 특히 2005년에 국내 발전정비시장의 경쟁력 도입을 2009년으로 유보하였으며, 유보기간 동안 국내 발전정비업체의 경쟁력 강화 육성 정책을 시행하였다. 따라서 2005년의 경쟁도입 유보 정책에 따른 효율성 변화와 설문조사를 통해 국제 경쟁력 결정요인을 분석하였다. DEA를 이용하여 효율성 추정에 사용된 표본은 국내 6개 발전정비회사이며 분석기간은 2003년~2008년까지이다. 효율성 추정 결과에 의하면, 전반기(2003~2005)의 효율성 수준은 0.865인 반면에 후반기(2006~2008)에는 0.947로 전반적인 효율성 수준은 경쟁도입 유보 결정 이후에 개선되었으며 규모의 효율성도 전반기(0.890)에 비해 후반기(0.972)에 개선된 것으로 추정되었다. 한편, Porter의 다이아몬드 모형을 이용하여 국내 발전정비산업의 국제 경쟁력 결정요인을 설문조사를 통해 분석한 결과, 5개 결정요인 중에서 수요조건이 5점 만점에 4.22점을 획득하였으며, 정부부문(3.85), 요소조건 (3.63)의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 가장 취약한 요인은 기업의 전략 조직 경쟁 부문으로 2.94점을 받았다. 따라서 우리나라 발전정비 시장의 확대 가능성은 상당히 높게 평가되고 있으나 이를 충족할 수 있는 기업의 전략 조직 경쟁 부문은 취약한 것으로 볼 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 기업의 개선 노력이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Mathematics becomes more indispensible course today, while it seems approaching to the middle school students as a boring and hard one. So, we need to take more motivational teaching devices as well as mere emphases on its importance in order to keep the students up to tile curriculum and improve the education efficiency. Then, history of mathematics call lie one major source of the motivation, since, by telling the tales on the specific unit subject, teachers can awake the students'interest naturally. Today, most of the mathematics textbooks for the middle school students have some historical tales about each unit subject in their respective unit introduction. However, many tales don't seem quite helpful or motivating to understand unit subjects, for they are either abstract or fragmental. In that sense, this paper has three sample guidelines for teaching, which ate meant to introduce historical tales to motivate the students before teachers may get into tile main unit subject. Those suggested in this paper may work as the motivational teaching devices which would make the students mote interested, more positive, and consequently more successful in mathematics.

The study aims at bringing to the attentions of Korean librarians the ways and means with government publications, which had hardly been brought to the scene yet. It deals with the characteristics of archives and the nature of an archival arrangement based on 'the principle of provenance' ; the characteristics of government publications in relation to the adequacy of an archival arrangement; the three major devices in use for organizing government publications; and introduction to two sample classification systems. The study concludes with a notion that a vast reservoir of information sources(government publications) should be tapped and put to the use of researchers without delays inherent in library processing. It advocates an archival arrangement for economy and efficiency.

Introduction: To analyze the impact of marketing losses on efficiency in transacting banana in Kurnool district of SRZ in Andhra Pradesh and to assess the opinions of the farmers on the constraints in transacting banana. Research back ground, Materials and Methods: The study relies exclusively on primary information obtained from the banana farmers of Kurnool District. Purposive sampling procedure was followed for the selection of the study area. Top two mandals in the district and top two villages in each mandal are selected in accordance with the area under cultivation of banana. Probability proportion to size was followed regarding the selection of sample farmers and accordingly 60 marginal, 37 small and 23 other farmers were selected and thereby, the total sample size was 120. Result and Discussion: Three marketing channels were identified in the marketing of banana in Kurnool district viz., Producer ${\rightarrow}$ Local-exporter ${\rightarrow}$ Wholesaler ${\rightarrow}$ Retailer ${\rightarrow}$ Consumer (Channel-I), Producer ${\rightarrow}$ Wholesaler ${\rightarrow}$ Cart-vendor ${\rightarrow}$ Consumer (Channel-II) and Producer ${\rightarrow}$ Juice-holder ${\rightarrow}$ Consumer (Channel-III). With the inclusion of marketing losses in the price spread analysis of banana in all the three channels, the marketing costs of all the intermediaries were increased and thereby, the farmer's share in consumer's rupee and Net Marketing Margins of the agencies are on the decline. So, without inclusion of marketing losses, the farmer's share in consumer's rupee and Net Marketing Margins of all the agencies are overvalued. The higher the marketing losses, the more is the negative impact on farmer's net selling price, net marketing margins of the intermediaries and marketing efficiency. The sample farmers are facing major problems in marketing of banana like frequent price fluctuations, unorganized marketing and lack of transportation facilities on priority basis. Suggestions: It is suggested to educate the farmers regarding the optimum maturity index for harvest, use of mechanical harvesters, proper placement of fruits during storage and ripening, better packaging and cushioning technologies to absorb shocks during transportation, strengthening of storage facilities and transport facilities, encourage co-operative marketing etc., to promote marketing efficiency of banana in the study area.

본 연구는 신제품개발 시의성, 표준화 및 국제신제품시판 시의성간의 관계에 대해 본사-자회사간 협력의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 검증결과는 본사-자회사간 협력이 신제품개발 시의성과 국제신제품시판 시의성간의 관계에 대해 조절효과를 보였다. 그러나 본사-자회사간 협력은 표준화와 국제신제품시판 시의성간의 관계에 대해 조절효과를 보이지 않고 있다. 기업에서 본사와 자회사간 긍정적인 관계, 오픈 커뮤니케이션, 정규적인 상호작용을 갖는 경우에는 개발된 신제품이 해외시장에 더욱 빠르게 출시됨을 알 수 있다. 즉, 당초 계획한 시간프레임에서 개발한 제품들이 보다 빠르게 해외목표 국가시장에 출시하는데 본사와 자회사간 긍정적이고 효과적인 협력관계가 중요함을 보여준다.
