Threshold limit value (TLV) test between expert and consumer panel was conducted about absolute, recognition and difference threshold respectively. And we tried to suggest appropriate and minimum acceptable menthol concentration level by consumer panel. Determination of threshold value was based on ASTM E 679-79 method by forced-choice ascending concentration series. In addition, a semi-ascending paired difference method was referred to conduct test. The group threshold value was determined as the value of geometric mean individual threshold. The smokers were dividend by two groups, trained and consumer panel. Trained panel was selected according to sensitivity to menthol discrimination. Consumer panel wasrecruited in proportion as population ratios including female smokers. They were all over twenty years old volunteers and summed up thirty four persons. In terms of sensor evaluation, overall difference test with seven-category scale by both trained and consumer panelists were done. On judging correct or incorrect answer, two by three cut-off levels applied to. Every test was conducted with two sessions, before smoking and during smoking period. And, only two samples served each paneI per test with regard to sensory fatigue and reliable results. All tests were replicated, and in total 32 times per panelist. In conclusion, the recognition threshold about consumer and expert panel was 358 ppm/cig. and 276 ppm/cig. in separately. Besides, absolute and difference thresholds were obtained also. And, we conduct difference threshold test with two different ways, upward and downward. And, The results of each method were 246, 195 ppm/cig., 1414, 1336 ppm/cig. and 1047, 972 ppm/cig.

The purpose of this study is to draw out the trade effect of the Korea ASEAN FTA by carrying out a panel analysis. For achieving such a purpose, Panel Unit Root, Panel Cointegration Test, Pooled OLS, Hausman Test, Fixed Effect, Random effect are performed. The last 15 years's data over the period of 1997 to 2011 concentrated on the ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Thai, Vietnam is used in this study. Major implications are summarized as following. First, our government need to maximize the effect derived from conclusion of FTA(Free Trade Agreement) in order to enhance the competitive edge through obtaining a stable foreign market. Second, it necessary for our government to improve a national system by orienting a FTA conclusion complying with WTO's product and service-related regulation.

In order to analyze of the color perception Farnsworth Test Panel D-15 in the CIELab color space coordinates, it was measured by the reflectance spectrum of the 380~780nm wavelength regions. The Test Panel D-15 was situated in the near origin point of higher the saturation in CIELab coordinates (a, b). Normal person perceived to the similar color for the color of small color difference, and color deficiency person depended on the confusing color line and the neutral point unconcerned with the color difference. In case of Ptotanopia, Deutrnopia, r-g defect, y-b defect with the color deficiency, the neutral points position (a,b) were each (2.12,1.02), (4.25,2.05), (2.51,0.25), (1.20,-1.10).

A precast panel wall system resists against the horizontal earth pressure by increasing the shear strength of ground by reinforcement connected to the panel. The application of precast panel wall system is growing to lately minimize the earth work and environmental damage caused by large cut slope and to use the limited land effectively. The ground adhered panel wall system is the construction method that has the panel engraved with natural rock shape to improve the landscape. This system is developed to complete Top-Down method, and it is possible to have vertical cut, and to adhere to in-situ ground, improve construction ability by minimizing the ground relaxation and exclusion the trench and backfill process. In this study the field tests were performed to verify the construction ability about the vertical cut and complete Top-Down process and the construction behavior of ground adhered panel wall system was analyzed by large scale loading test and measurement results during loading test.

Air brake system of KTX effectively distributes air to brake panel in each bogie. System consists of carrying bogie brake panel, motor bogie brake panel, driver's valve panel, pneumatic auxiliary panel and other accessories. For the prove endurance, confirm test number. Distributor and control moderable magnet valve are 500,000 times and respectively, carrying bogie MR/BP cut-out cock are 12,000 times. Tests satisfy all of condition until now. Developments conduct a performance test to brake tester of domestic manufacturer and operating authority.

In this study, we develop a new remote monitoring system for TFT-LCD panel test automation. Having to realtime monitor of Ti-Con board, this system needs to discrimination whether breakdown or not that is able to transmit processing data for engineer at long distance place using TCP/IP. The result of the development, that can be fast opposition to the breakdown and the multiple processing

In this paper, The evaluation of durability of the PC Panel lining for tunnel structure was examined through the rapid test by carbonation and freezing and thawing. Also for the purpose of improvement of durability. Namely, the durable characteristics of PC Panel lining by carbonation and freezing and thawing, was evaluated by rapid test and long-term field exposure test and main influence factors were derived. As a result of test, Correlation of accelerating test in deterioration chamber and long-term field exposure test, it will be expected that the proposed correlation well to the prediction of life expectancy of structure and is contributed greatly in the future.

This study examines the existence of ${\beta}$-convergence of carbon dioxide emissions in 24 countries over the period 1971~2002. For that purpose, The model of economic growth developed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1995) is extended and conducted Dynamic panel analysis and unit root testing by employing the panel stationarity test of Levin et al. (2002) and 1m et al. (2003). A dynamic panel estimation is well known method including capacity to control for both the endogeneity problem and the unobserved country-specific effects problem. Dynamic panel estimation method has been widely used in similar empirical studies. therefore, we also used the dynamic panel estimation method in our estimation. The result show that evidence of ${\beta}$-convergence exists among both the Obligatory GHG reduction countries (Annex) and the Non-obligatory GHG reduction countries (Non-Annex). but China discharge amount of $CO_2$ gas more than any other country. This fact can cause some bias in overall test. and so we reexamined test of convergence for Non-annex countries excluding china. As expected, in the Non-annex countries excluding china, I couldn't find any evidence of convergence.

The acceptance of the test of the homogeneity for panel time series models allows for the pooling of the series to achieve parsimony. In this paper, we introduce a panel bilinear time series model as well as derive the stationary condition and the limiting distribution of the test statistic of the homogeneity test for the model. For the applications study, we use Korea Mumps data from January 2001 to December 2008. Finally, we perform test of homogeneity for the panel data with 8 independent bilinear time series.

The major objective of this study is to investigate the effects and application of improvement for railway steel plate girder bridge by resilient panel track system. It analyzed the mechanical behaviors of steel plate girder bridge with applying resilient panel track system on the finite element analysis and laboratory test for static & dynamic characteristics. As a result, the improvement of steel plate girder bridge with resilient panel track systems are obviously effective for the static & dynamic response which is non-ballast steel plate girder bridge. The analytical and experimental study are carried out to investigate resilient panel track system decrease vertical acceleration and deflection on steel plate girder bridge for serviceability. And the resilient panel track system reduced dynamic maximum displacements (about 59%) and stresses (about 82%), the increase of dynamic safety is predicted by adopting resilient panel track system. From the dynamic test results of steel plate girder bridge, it is investigated that vertical acceleration and deflection is very low with applying resilient panel track system. The servicing steel plate girder bridge with resilient panel track system has need of the reasonable improvement measures which could be reducing the effect of static and dynamic behavior that degradation phenomenon of structure by an unusual response characteristic and a drop durability.
