In the presence of $\mu-tip$ for narrow stripe coating, there appears lateral capillary flow along the hydrophilic head lip because the $\mu-tip$ has some resistance to flow. It was known to be suppressed by increasing the contact angle of the head lip. In this paper, we have demonstrated by computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations that it can also be suppressed by the formation of micro-patterns on the shim and meniscus guide embedded into the slot-die head. To optimize the micro-patterned structure, we have performed simulations by varying the groove width, depth, and clearance. In the absence of micro-patterns, it is shown by experiment and simulation that the solution spreads to a distance of $1,300{\mu}m$ from the ${\mu}-tip$. In the presence of micro-patterns with the groove width and clearance of $50{\mu}m$, the distance the solution spreads is reduced to $260{\mu}m$. However, no further suppression in the capillary flow is observed with micro-patterns with the groove width of $40{\mu}m$ or less. It is also observed that the capillary flow is not affected by the groove depth if it is larger than $10{\mu}m$. We have shown that the distance the solution spreads can be reduced further to $204{\mu}m$ by coating a hydrophobic material (contact angle of $104^{\circ}$) on the surface of micro-patterns having the groove width and clearance of $50{\mu}m$.

Among several macroeconomic missteps blamed for the recent global financial crisis including the social problems of income distribution and the lack of proper financial remedies, two of them have received particular attention: the global BOP(Balance of Payment) imbalance and the misguided monetary policy. Such BOP imbalance was blamed for massive foreign exchange investment flows from Asia into the U.S., triggering the financial and real estate bubble in America. The latter refers to the excessively loose monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve, which pushed financial institutions and households into reckless investment behavior in search of higher returns. Given the abuse of certain innovative financial techniques and new investment instruments that have been created in recent decades, both collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and credit default swaps (CDS) enjoyed a symbiotic and toxic relationship prior to the financial crisis This paper is organized as follows: The first section analyzes the real causes of the recent financial crisis. The second details the role of CDOs and CDS. Then, to identify key determinants of the CDS spreads in an emerging capital market, the sample data of major Korean firms' CDS spreads are used to estimate the risk premium by utilizing the multiple regression analysis. The empirical test result indicates that Korean 3-year treasury bond rate(TYIELD), market to book value ratio(MV/BV), and assets size(INASSETS) are shown to demonstrate statistically significant influences on the changes of the CDS premium for sample firms.

The antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of Matcha (powdered green tea) spreads containing coconut milk were evaluated. Matcha spreads containing coconut milk was prepared with different amounts (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 g) of Matcha, and indicated as S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5, respectively. The moisture content, viscosity, color, pH and sugar content were influenced by the concentration of Matcha. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of Matcha were found to be 226 mg GAE/g and 809.42 mg QE/g respectively. Also, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and reducing power of Matcha was found to be $5.76{\mu}g/mL$ ($IC_{50}$) and 2.26 O.D., respectively. The antioxidant activities of the Matcha spreads containing coconut milk increased with increasing concentration of Matcha. Sensory evaluation indicated that S3 (8 g) was the most preferred in terms of color, taste, texture, and overall acceptance. Based on these results, it is suggested that S3 (8 g) was appropriate for achieving good quality coconut milk based spread containing Matcha.

This study focuses on examining 'the Supreme God and Celestial Worthy of the Ninth Heaven Who Spreads the Sound of the Thunder Corresponding to Primordial Origin', which Daesoon Jinrihoe believes in as the highest divinity. The name of this divinity was first found in Chinese Daoist scriptures. This study starts by considering the global propagation of virtue and then research connected to this topic. There are two alternative names for this divinity in relation to his human avatar, Kang Jeungsan, the subject of faith in Daesoon Jinrihoe. One is 'the Lord God of Great Creation in the Ninth Heaven' meaning the divinity before assuming a human avatar, and the other is 'the Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation' the same divinity after he discarded his human avatar and returned to his celestial post. To understand how the belief system of Daesoon Jinrihoe differs from that of Daoism, it is necessary to study the divinity's change from being 'the Lord God of Great Creation in the Ninth Heaven' to becoming 'the Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation'. If this distinction is not made clear, it brings about confusing arguments concerning the term 'Supreme God (Sangje)' as used in Daoism and Daesoon Jinrihoe. In order to offer a specific explanation, this study suggests three possible directions. The first hypothesis is that although these two names, 'the Celestial Worthy of the Ninth Heaven Who Spreads the Sound of the Thunder Corresponding to Primordial Origin' from Daoism and 'the Supreme God of the Ninth Heaven Who Spreads the Sound of the Thunder Corresponding to Primordial Origin' from Daesoon Jinrihoe, are similar, they actually have nothing to do with one another. The second hypothesis is that they are in fact the same divinity. Lastly, the third hypothesis is that they are closely connected, however, the former (the Celestial Worthy of the Ninth Heaven Who Spreads the Sound of the Thunder Corresponding to Primordial Origin) is a position needed to fulfill the mission of Jeungsan, whereas the latter (the Supreme God of the Ninth Heaven Who Spreads the Sound of the Thunder Corresponding to Primordial Origin) is a name received after the human avatar passes and the deity returns to the Noebu, 'the department of lightning'. These hypotheses face certain problems such as arbitrary mixing, the need for the theoretical clarity, and argumental weakness. Therefore, by leaving some unresolved questions, this study encourages future follow-up studies.

A new method is presented to construct a classifier. This was accomplished by combining a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and a genetic algorithm (GA). The classifier constructed in this way is referred to as a GA-GRNN. The GA played a role of controlling training factors simultaneously. In GA optimization, neuron spreads were represented in a chromosome. The proposed optimization method was applied to a data set, consisted of 4 different promoter sequences. The training and test data were composed of 115 and 58 sequence patterns, respectively. The range of neuron spreads was experimentally varied from 0.4 to 1.4 with an increment of 0.1. The GA-GRNN was compared to a conventional GRNN. The classifier performance was investigated in terms of the classification sensitivity and prediction accuracy. The GA-GRNN significantly improved the total classification sensitivity compared to the conventional GRNN. Also, the GA-GRNN demonstrated an improvement of about 10.1% in the total prediction accuracy. As a result, the proposed GA-GRNN illustrated improved classification sensitivity and prediction accuracy over the conventional GRNN.

Experimental study of liquid nitrogen pool spread is carried out when it is continuously released. The liquid nitrogen spreads over a cement mortar plate with continuous release. Evaporation rate per unit area of the liquid nitrogen is measured using a digital balance, and a spreading distance of the liquid pool is measured by thermocouples. It is discovered that the evaporation rate per unit area of liquid nitrogen tends to decrease as the liquid pool spreads.

In this study, the width spreads of spring steel including Mn-Cr steel(SUP 9A), Mn-Cr-V steel(SUP 11A), and Si-Cr steel(SAE 9254) and were investigated under different reduction ratios and thickness-width ratios friction coefficients. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical prediction by the Ekelund equation, Geuze equations, etc. The width spreads of the three spring steels were found to be 10-15% larger than mild steel, and the optimal reduction ratio for the spring steel was found in a range from 20 to30%. Among the spring steels, the width spread of Mn-Cr-V steel was measured to be the largest followed by those of Si-Cr steel and Mn-Cr steel. It was found that the width spread increased with friction coefficient, width-thickness ratio and reduction ratio as predicted. However, the theoretical predictions revealed smaller width spread than the experimental results. This finding indicates that the coefficients of the width spread of the theoretical models need to be modified in order to predict the actual behavior of the width spreading of the spring steels. In this study, the coefficients of width spread of the Geuze equation were determined from the experimental results.

주가(株價)의 예측(豫測)이 가능하다는 최근 실증결과들로 말미암아 증권시장의 효율성(效率性)에 강한 의문이 제기되고 있다. 주가(株價)의 반전(反轉)(price reversal)이 주가의 예측을 가능하게 한다는 것이다. 혹자는 증권시장이 정보에 과잉반응(過剩反應)을 나타내고 그 후 이를 수정함으로서 주가의 반전이 나타난다고 주장한다. 또 혹자는 호가(呼價)스프레드(spreads)의 존재로 인하여 주가의 반전이 있을 수 있다고 한다. 실제로, 때로는 매수호가에 때로는 매도호가에 거래가 이루어지고 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 KOSPI 200 구성주식의 일별(日別)수익률 자료를 이용한 실증분석에서 다음과 같은 중요한 사항들을 발견하였다. 첫째, 한국증권시장에 주가반전(株價反轉)이 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 단기 주가반전의 주된 원천은 시장(市場)의 과잉반응(過剩反應)이 아니라 호가(呼價)스프레드라는 것을 발견하였다. 일중(日中)에도 물론 주가가 반전하고 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 호가스프레드에 의한 변동성으로 말미암아 거래가격을 기준으로 한 일별수익률의 변동성(變動性)이 상당히 과대(過大) 추정(推定)될 수 있음을 발견하였다. 일별수익률 분산의 약 15%는 호가스프레드로 설명(說明)할 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구결과는 다음과 같은 점을 시사(示峻)하고 있다. 우리 나라에서 호가스프레드는 딜러마켓에서와 같은 '마진'의 의미가 전혀 없다. 따라서 호가스프레드의 크기를 결정하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 '호가단위(呼價單位)'를 적절한 수준으로 가능한한 작게 하는 것이 바람직 할 것이다. 이는 매도자와 매수자의 의견접근을 용이하게 함으로서 매매(賣買)의 성립(成立)을 촉진할 뿐만 아니라, 특히 기관투자자의 거래비용(去來費用)을 줄일 수 있으며, 또 호가스프레드로 인한 앞서의 불필요한 변동성(變動性)을 줄이는 효과도 아울러 기할 수 있을 것이다.

Grassfire spot matching method is based on similarity comparison of topological patterns for neighbor spots. This is a method where spot matching is performed as if fire spreads all around on grass. Spot matching starts from a seed spot pair confirmed as a matched pair of spots and spot matching spreads to the direction where the best matching result is produced. In this paper, it is a bit complicated way of grassfire method where multi-seed matched spot pair are manually selected and spot matching is performed from each multi-seed matched spot pair. The proposed method shows better performance in detection rate and accuracy than that of the previous method.
