In the transition to a multipolar international system, the literature has focused on great power competition while little attention has been given to the strategic possibilities of smaller states. However, as a result of globalization, states are so closely interconnected that the primary strategies of even major powers are not to achieve zero-sum solutions but to create asymmetric dependency through which they can influence the behavior of other states and non-state actors. States are assisted in this effort by a variety of tools, including setting up institutions, direct economic influence and through building different forms of infrastructure connectivity networks. By discussing asymmetric dependency situations from the perspective of the great powers, the literature presents smaller states primarily as passive actors, paralyzed by their dependence on great powers. Our paper argues that interdependence allows smaller states to effectively influence larger actors and examines strategies from which smaller states can choose in order to influence the behavior of larger states. Despite an extremely asymmetric relationship between Myanmar and China, actors in Myanmar have sought to influence China's Myanmar policy. We examine a case study of the Myitsone Dam, including Myanmar's strategic aims, chosen strategy and limitations in maneuvering space. Semi-structured interviews with local decision-makers and stakeholders are conducted in order to portray the full picture. Our study concludes that further research on the influencing strategies of small states in response to asymmetric dependence can contribute to a better understanding of the interdependence of states.

Since many RFMOs have been established, various measures to protect small island developing States have been enacted. WCPFC CMM 2017-01 also enacted various measures for that purpose. However, it is notable that CMM 2017-01 has enacted a measure in a manner to reduce benefits of the small island developing States in relation to the vessel charter scheme, although it has made another exception. This study aims to draw implications in establishing Korea's fisheries policy and making an appropriate strategy of the fisheries industries in Korea, through analyses of the charter issue in the WCPFC CMM 2017-01. This paper examines an issue of the vessel charter scheme in the WCPFC CMM 2017-01 comparing with the flag of convenience issue. It concludes that it is recommended to further restrict the application of the vessel charter scheme in the WCPFC CMM 2017-01 and to repeal it ultimately. Finally, this paper draws implications for the Korean government to participate in the WCPFC in a manner to reflect its positions and to harmonize interests of the fishing States and the small island developing States, considering various joint venture business with such States. It further draws implications for the fisheries industries in Korea to actively participate in the WCPFC to maximize their interests.

By analyzing the adaptive capacity, market formation and policy direction as functional areas of Technological Innovation System (TIS), the article evaluates the progress of renewable energy transition in the Maldives, with the inclusion of ideas from Mauritius and Cabo Verde. On the policy direction in the Maldives, technology roadmaps produced with assistance from International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) are evaluated. Although there are inducing factors such as the Solar Risk Management Initiative, the progress of energy transition is hindered by the lack of technical capacity and local value chain. The findings indicate the importance of facilitating and establishing industry and knowledge networks, incorporating innovation policies, greater involvement of the local private sector along with international investors, and taking water-energy nexus to achieve complementary targets. The study adds value to knowledge by offering a simplified TIS framework, with a current insight of the energy transition in Small Island Developing States with a focus on the Maldives.

Fuzzy optimal control is considered. An optimal sequence of controls is sought best satisfying fuzzy constraints on the controls and fuzzy goals on the states (outputs), with a fuzzy system under control Control over a fixed and specified, implicitly specified, fuzzy, and infinite termination time is discussed. For computational efficiency a small number of reference fuzzy staters and controls is to be assumed by which fuzzy controls and stated are approximated. Optimal control policies reference fuzzy states are determined as a fuzzy relation used, via the compositional rule of inference, to derive an optimal control. Since this requires a large number of overlapping reference fuzzy controls and states implying a low computational efficiency, a small number of nonoverlapping reference fuzzy states and controls is assumed, and then interpolative reasoning is used to infer an optimal fuzzy control for a current fuzzy state.

약소국이 안보를 위해서 선택하는 정책과 전략은 무의미하며 주변 강대국의 자비로운 의지와 국제관계의 특정한 상황 속에서만 보장될 수 있는 것인가. 본 논문에서는 이러한 질문에 대한 답을 찾기 위해 강대국의 위협에 직면한 약소국들이 어떤 선택을 했는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 전간기 중·동부유럽을 둘러싸고 벌어진 일련의 사건은 국제관계 이론과 외교정책 이론의 검증 사례로 많이 이용되고 있으며, 동시에 약소국의 외교정책과 안보전략이 실패했던 대표적인 사례로 인용되고 있다. 전간기 중·동부유럽은 이 지역을 둘러싼 강대국들 간의 국제관계와 강대국과 약소국의 관계 그리고 약소국과 약소국의 관계를 통해 생존을 위해 투쟁해야 했던 약소국들이 어떤 선택을 했는지를 살펴볼 수 있는 가장 대표적인 사례이다. 더군다나 그들이 선택했던 방안은 사실상 아무런 효력도 발휘하지 못했기 때문에 본 논문에서는 약소국이 강대국의 직접적인 군사적 위협에 처하게 될 경우 어떠한 전략을 선택하는 것이 타당한지를 제시한다. 이러한 목적을 위해 본 논문에서는 약소국이 선택할 수 있는 다양한 전략을 살펴보며, '가상사실(counterfactuals)'을 통해 만약 그러한 전략이 아닌 다른 전략을 선택했다면 어떠한 결과가 나타나게 되었을지를 평가한다.

This paper contains a review of methods to analise static and dynamic properties of trap states in TFTs. The Gap Density of States is extracted from C-V and I-V characteristics. Switch on transients and small signal ac measurements are used in conjunction with simulation and an analytic model to extract traps dynamic parameters.

Small group activity in Korea was introduced from the United States as QC circle, ZD group movements and the like, but it has developed into a Korean style from so-called factory saemaul panel activities contributing much to the management of enterprises. Based on human motivation theory, the principles to activate small group activity is suggested on which a new diagnosis of small group activity is proposed here. It is consisted of checklist and radarchart. The factor to activate small group activity have been obtained in terms of multivariate analysis for data from the new diagnosis.

최근 들어 인간과 컴퓨터 상호작용 분야에서 기존의 인지적인 측면 이외에 감정의 역할에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 사용자가 좁은 화면을 통해 의사 결정을 위한 정보검색을 수행 할 때 감정 상태에 따라 정보 검색 패턴이 달라지는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 실험에서 실험참가자들의 감정 상태를 긍정적 혹은 부정적 상태로 유도하기 위해 긍정적인 감정과 부정적인 감정을 유발시킬 수 있는 음악을 듣게 하였고 동시에 자신의 과거 기억으로부터 긍정적인 감정 혹은 부정적인 감정을 유발시킬 수 있는 자서전적 회상 과제를 수행하도록 하였다. 감정 유발 과정이 끝난 뒤 각 실험 참가자들은 작은 디스플레이를 통해 세 나라들에 대한 여행 정보를 검색하여 가장 선호하는 여행지를 선택하였고, 실험참가자들이 탐색한 링크들의 경로 및 각 링크에 머무른 시간 등이 실시간으로 기록되었다 실험결과 긍정적인 감정 상태에서는 중립 상태와 부정적인 감정 상태에 비해 보다 신속한 정보탐색이 이루어지는 것으로 나타났고, 중립 상태와 부정 감정 상태에서는 긍정 감정 상태에 비해 세부 항목에 상대적으로 많은 양의 인지적 자원을 할당하는 것으로 나타났다.

Pollution characteristics of leachate and underground soul of the two landfill states were Investigated Domestic wastes were dumped In the two adjacent landfill states. Only small portion of S landifill site was filled with domestic wastes at the first stage of dumping, and most portion of the site was filled with construction wastes. However Y landfill strate was filed with mostly domestic wastes. Higher concentrations of organic pollutants including VOCs were measured In Y landfill site leachate than In S tendon site. Underground souls of the two linam states were analyzed by the two kinds of leaching methods, KEP (Korean Extraction Processl and Acid Digestion. Underground souls of the both landfill states were not polluted by leachates. Underground soils of the two were composed of firie salty material. Thus It Is fecund that fine silty soul layer of the sea shore may be used as a landfillsite.
