현재 인터넷에서는 객체를 전송하기 위해 HTTP over TCP가 사용된다. SCTP는 TCP의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 제안된 프로토콜로 개별적인 스트림을 이용하여 데이터를 전송하므로 웹 객체의 평균 응답 시간을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 HTTP over SCTP의 평균 응답 시간을 추정하는 해석적 모델을 개발함으로써 TCP에 대한 SCTP의 효과를 추정하고자 한다. TCP 지연을 구하기 위한 기존의 해석적 모델이 주로 유선 환경을 가정한데 비해, 본 연구에서 제안하는 모델은 다중 패킷 손실이 발생하고, 빠른 재전송이 가능하지 않은 무선 환경을 가정한다. 추정된 평균 응답 시간은 실제 웹 응용을 개발할 때, 종단 사용자의 서비스 품질을 만족시키기 위한 사전 벤치마크로 사용될 수 있다. 추정 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 테스트베드 상에서 성능 실험을 수행한 결과, 모델과 실험결과의 차이가 평균 6% 이내로 매우 작으며, 동시에 HTTP over SCTP의 평균 전송 시간이 HTTP over TCP의 평균 전송 시간보다 작은 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effectiveness of Offcial Development Assistance (ODA) in recipient countries' economy. ODA is designed to mitigate poverty and stimulate economic growth in the developing countries. We classify total ODA into bilateral ODA and multilateral ODA depending on the number of donor countries. If the ODA flows from one donor country to one recipient country, it is classified as bilateral ODA. If the multiple countries simultaneously become donor countries through the international organizations such as United Nations and World Bank, it is classified as multilateral ODA. This paper compares the effect of bilateral ODA and multilateral ODA in determining recipient countries' economic development, and tries to provide policy implications to Korean ODA. Research design, data, and methodology - Our primary explanatory variables are bilateral and multilateral ODA. Private credit in recipient countries is adopted as additional explanatory variables to capture the level of financial development in recipient countries. We measure the ODA effectiveness using economic growth and quality of life of the recipient countries as the dependent variable. We collect 142 recipient countries' data from OECD statistics, during the period from 1970-2014. Panel least squares estimation with country fixed effect is employed as the empirical model. Results - Our results support that ODA variable has a negatively significant impact on recipient countries' economic growth, while it is positively correlated with human development index. Recipient countries' private credit is positively correlated with economic growth and human development index. The interaction variable of ODA and financial development turns out to be significant in general. We find that the positive effect of ODA depends on recipient countries' financial market development and this effect is stronger in multilateral aid than bilateral one. Conclusions - From the analysis, we have confirmed that the recipient countries financial development is the necessity condition to achieve positive effect of ODA. Based on these results, we suggest that Korean government should increase the share of multilateral funding and pay attention to recipient countries' financial market development to maximize the effectiveness of ODA.

Recent deepwater offshore structures in the Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of a welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical, as the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimation of the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally conducted by using S-N curves, as specified in the codes and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to the S-N approach often results in a very conservative assessment, because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fatigue life analysis using fracture mechanics has been applied in the design of the catenary risers. This technology enables the engineer to establish proper requirements on weld quality and inspection acceptance criteria to assure satisfactory structural integrity during its design life. It also provides guidance on proper design curves and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. Still, there is inconsistency when designing tubular joints using a conventional S-N approach and when specifying weld flaw acceptance criteria using fracture mechanics approach. This study developed fatigue curves that are consistent with both the S-N approach and the fracture mechanics approach. Accounting for non-uniform stress distribution and threshold stress intensity factor were key parameters in relating both approaches. A series of S-N curves, generated from the fracture mechanics approach, were compared to the existing S-N curves. For flat plate butt joint, the S-N curve generated from fracture mechanics matches with the IIW class 100 curve when initial crack depth was 0.5 mm (0.02). The new curves for tubular joint agree very well with the experimental results. The comparison also indicated the degree of conservatism built into the API X design curve.

Purpose - This paper examines the explanatory power of the agency theory in the determination of cash holdings for Korean retail firms. If the agency theory holds, a firm with strong corporate governance structure tends to have low cash holdings. A strong governance structure makes the CEO of this firm to behave in the interests of shareholders and thus the CEO has low incentive to stockpile cash holdings, which can be easily diverted for the CEO's own managerial purposes. We investigate this relationship between corporate governance structure and cash holdings, by using corporate governance scores as a proxy variable that captures the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanism. Research design, data, and methodology - We adopt the sample of publicly listed retail firms in KOSPI market from 2005 to 2013. Financial and accounting statements are gathered from the WISEfn database. We also use the corporate governance scores published by Korean Corporate Governance Service. The relationship between the corporate governance scores and cash holdings is cross-sectionally estimated based on the ordinary least square method. This estimation method is widely accepted in the existing literature. The sample of large conglomerates, Chebol, and the remainder firms are separately examined as well, to account for the distinctive internal financing environment in these large conglomerates. Results - We mainly contribute to the extant literature by providing empirical evidence against the agency theory of cash policy. Unlike the prediction of agency theory, we confirm statistically insignificant or even positive correlations between the set of corporate governance scores and cash-asset ratios. Almost all the major corporate governance attributes including total score, shareholder rights, board structure, and the quality of information disclosure do not show negative correlations with cash holdings, which poses a strong challenge to the validity of the agency theory in the determination of retail firms' cash holdings. Conclusions - This study presents interesting empirical results with respect to the cash policy in Korean retail firms. Consistent to prior studies, I verify that the agency theory only limitedly explains the level of cash holdings. Future studies may obtain more robust results by examining a longer sample period.

The conventional medical appraisal which was done in the process of medical lawsuit was requested from the court to the designated hospital and was delivered as a pattern of one question and one answer in each. However, the comprehensiveness of medical appraisal which was pursued, for example, in Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency, could be guaranteed in terms of in-depth medical analysis as well as the broader capacity of the causality estimation besides. The comprehensiveness of appraisal would also include how well organized hospital system of medical care is and how well correlated job system among medical staffs, when medical dispute was happened at the hospital. This comprehensiveness will exert a big contribution on making a demonstrative medical care to prevent from the medical dispute and it could achieve the national plan of building the patient safety net which is effective in restoring the worsened quality of contemporary medical service. Therefore, the comprehensiveness of medical appraisal has to be designed to go forward interdisciplinary fused speciality rather than one division of medicine, which is also aiming at the reliable and consistent appraisal with the supreme dignity from one window. In addition to that, the objective and concrete frame of comprehensive appraisal under the computed connection has to be deliberated to make itself possible in collaboration with positive participation of medical community. The comprehensiveness of medical appraisal would serve to expand not only the capacity of speciality but also the ability of influence on a restorative justice, so that it give effect to an increased number of mediation and arbitration rather than medical lawsuit as well as a decreased number of the social cost and social conflict.

성능이 우수한 H.264동영상압축표준이 발표된 이후, 기존 동영상압축표준인 MPEG-2에서 H.264표준으로 대체되었고, 이로 인하여 기존에 MPEG-2표준으로 압축된 콘텐츠들은 H.264표준을 따르는 디바이스에 적합한 트랜스 코딩 방법들이 연구되어왔다. 또한 H.264표준으로 압축된 동영상은 현재 IPTV 및 DMB 등 서비스를 제공하고 있으나 MPEG-2 표준 디바이스를 사용하고 있는 사용자들은 시청할 수 없게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MPEG-2 표준 디바이스를 사용하고 있는 사용자들은 H.264표준을 이용할 수 있는 H.264 to MPEG-2 트랜스코딩을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 H.264인코더의 특징인 가변블록의 움직임벡터를 MPEG-2의 매크로블록에 적합한 한 개의 움직임벡터를 예측하여 MPEG-2인코더의 계산량을 향상시키는 방법이다. 이때 물체의 경계와 배경의 특성을 파악하여 수정된 경계정합알고리즘을 사용하여 최적의 움직임벡터를 예측한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 MPEG-2 인코더의 "전역탐색"보다 PSNR은 거의 비슷하면서 부호화 계산 속도는 평균적으로 약 65% 감소하였다.

In order to obtain the information on the status of using university cafeteria and students' preferences, the survey was conducted through questionaires to 434 students(male:195, female : 239) of 8 universities - 2 universities employed dietitian and 6 universities which didn't employ dietitian -through all the area of Incheon from 19th November 1990 to 14th December, 1990. The results obtained were as follows. 1) For keeping temperature of meals until service to students Refrigerator or warming cabinet or putting meals on low flames were used, and the amount for one person was almost decided by rough estimation by experience. All the foods remained were discarded. Also most of the cooking manager's age were from 50 to 59 and almost cooking managers graduated middle school. The fuel to cook was gas or kerosene. Method to disinfect tableware was boiling. 2) In case of the frequency of using university cafeteria, male students used cafeteria more often than female students, and regardless of sex students made use of cafeteria for lunch more than for breakfast and supper. Students also used university cafeteria not employing dietitian more than cafeteria employing dietitian. Disregarding of male, female, cafeteria employing cafeteria not employing dietitian, all students pointed out that main reason for using cafeteria were 'low price' and 'no other place to eat' And minor reasons were ' good taste' and 'meal quality'. On the contrary, the case of not using cafeteria were 'waiting in line' to male students, 'poor taste' to female students, 'waiting in line' and 'no varieties' on the cafeteria which employed dietitian, 'poor taste' and 'poor hygienes' on the cafeteria which didn't employ dietitian. 3) Considering of the preferences of menu, both male and female students liked "Bibim Bab" And male students prefered meals which contained broth both but female students prefered a light meals. 4) the difference of preferences showed that female student's preferences were high at all foods, and the preferences of fruits were high for both students. In detail, male students liked port, liver and small intestine of cattle, oyster and beans boiled in soysauce. But female students likde milk, yogurt and cucumber.

Riparian areas are significant functional grounds for inhabiting ecological system on the river such as the self-regulation of the water quality and the foundation of important corridors. For such functional device to operate, consecutive land purchase scheme that prioritizes targeted areas with high pollutant load rate imposes sustainable development of the ecological riparian belt. The purpose of this study is focused on measuring the methodology for selecting land purchse order before establishing riparian belt in accordance with pollution loading estimation and the basin approach. The Yeongsan and Seomjin river which includes targeted areas of the land purchase have been classified into the large-medium-small(standard basin) influence areas based on their catchment rage, which than sub-divided the research area of Juam lake by 38 small basins and 223 units. Small basins with the high pollution load rates have been assessed as the first prioritized targets. For the second priority, the condition of the point pollutant sources, original area of the targets, original restored area were concerned. The final decision of the land purchase order targeted only those within 50 meter range from the basin. To validate the accumulated data, the on-site investigation went along the targeted zones, which the result shows that all prioritized areas included both point and non-point pollutant sources, and had not a small originally restored areas.

We measured the time-dependent concentration of VOCs emitted from Ondol floor, furniture, and the wall made of various building materials. After obtaining results from the previous measurement, we developed the estimation equations of the concentration decay, and obtained the estimated graphs for the concentration decay under different air change rates and loading factor conditions by using the estimated equations. We conducted our tests by applying our measurements to real residences for 110 days in the case of furniture and for 40 days in the case of the floor. We also conducted experiments in the cases of various wall materials for 7 days which totaled 10 times. We used the GC/FID for experiments for real residences accord-ing to the specified procedures of the NIOSH 1501, and carried out experiments for wall materials according to the specified procedures of the ASTM 5116-97. When conducting experiments for wall materials, we set the temperature and relative humidity at $23^{\circ}C$ and $50\%$, respectively. We also set the air change rate and loading factor at 0.7/h and $1.617 m^2/m^3$, respectively. Our results showed that it is possible to predict proplrly the time-dependent concentration decay of VOCs by using logarithmic functions in both cases of experiments for real residences and for wall materials. Furthermore, we found that the concentration decay rate of VOCs increased rapidly as the air exchange rate increased while the concentration decay rate decreased as the loading factor increased.
