In usual, the discontinuous variance function was estimated nonparametrically using a kernel type estimator with data sets split by an estimated location of the change point. Kang et al. (2000) proposed the Gasser-$M{\ddot{u}}ller$ type kernel estimator of the discontinuous regression function using the adjusted observations of response variable by the estimated jump size of the change point in $M{\ddot{u}}ller$ (1992). The adjusted observations might be a random sample coming from a continuous regression function. In this paper, we estimate the variance function using the Nadaraya-Watson kernel type estimator using the adjusted squared residuals by the estimated location of the change point in the discontinuous variance function like Kang et al. (2000) did. The rate of convergence of integrated squared error of the proposed variance estimator is derived and numerical work demonstrates the improved performance of the method over the exist one with simulated examples.

Nutrient intake data collected by both dietary methods of the 24 hour recall method and the food frequency method from 538 middle school students were analysed to investigate any measurement errors occuring while using these methods. Measurement errors were observed both in terms of differences of average intake and consistancy from the two sources of data used. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to test the differences between the two average intakes and Speraman's rank order correlation coefficient was used to test consistancy. As a result, average intake value estimated from the food frequency method tended to be higher than that from the 24 hour recall method. The degree of overestimation varies from one nutrient to another. For instance, carotene showed not only the most significant differences in average intake but also showed the most incoisistancies between the two sets of data. This may imply the validity of nutrient intake as derived from different dietary survey methods varied from one nutrient to another, therefore the selection of dietary survey methods has to be made more cautiously in the case of certainnutrients.

From $1960^{th}$ Korean construction industry has been rapidly grown due to Meddle-East construction market growth. To earn foreign currency and to raise overall Korean industry government has encouraged construction frontiers. As construction industry could grow up for its labour based originity but the time passes by and overseas construction market requests engineering know-how and technology for productivity to earn more profit. Over last 20 years overseas construction market share has been dramatically raised but its profit share is gradually declining. This study analyzed data sets of over 180 overseas construction projects for last 30 years of domestic contractor by using multiple-regression analysis and derived an output how input variables of characters explaining the construction project effects its profit.

Ground vibration and noise from blasting operation are known to be the most representative constituents which can cause human and material damage. In this study, the effect of delay time on ground vibration is investigated by adopting seven different delay times in bench blasting. For each delay time, three blasting operations were performed. The prediction equations for blasting vibration are derived from 50 sets of measurement and the time theory of Langefors is evoked in the analysis of the blasting vibrations and frequencies. For the delay times of 8 ms and 28 ms, the average values of ground vibration are 5.76 cm/sec and 5.75 cm/sec, respectively, which are considerably low. Also the cyclic variation in the vibration measurements with the delay time confirms the interference effect. From the application of the measurements of blasting vibration and frequency to the time theory of Langefors, it is concluded that the optimum delay times are 8 ms and 24 ms for the test site.

We estimated the receiver and satellite differential code bias(DCB) based on the ionospheric total electron content(TEC) estimation method. The GPS network which has been operated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute(KASI) was designed to calculate TEC. The receiver and satellite DCB values were obtained from the weighted least square method with time interval for one hour. The results represented that the receiver DCB values are mostly varying within ${\pm}2m$ meter and are derived comparatively stable within three days. The estimated mean values of the satellite DCB show the maximum and minimum values of 4.09 nano-second(ns), -6.28ns respectively. We could detect great variations of TEC over 9 TECU difference at any time when the DCB sets were applied to TEC estimation.

In a series of original papers, [1-17] efficient methods and algorithms have been presented, for the exact solution of many reliability problems represented by binary networks. A starting point of these methods was the concept of domination, firstly introduced in ,elation with reliability problems in [2]. It's application to directed networks resulted in the development of a topological formula for the classical problem of the two terminal reliability. This result was extended later to the all-terminal and the k-terminal reliability problems. All papers mentioned above use a path oriented representation for the network topology. In practical applications, however, it is common and often advantageous to work with cut sets. This article considers the Domination theory for reliability problem of a network. Some topological formula are derived and the power and the application of this formula are shown through the alternative proof of topological formula of A. Satyanarayana [2].

The hyper-geometric distribution software reliability growth model (HGDM) was recently developed and successfully applied to the problem of estimating the number of initial faults residual in a software at the beginning of the test-and-debug phase. Though the HGDM is a time-domain software reliability growth model(SRGM), it is not possible to compare the HGDM with other time-domain SRGMs. Furthermore the usual software reliability can not be computed. These drawbacks are derived from fact that the HGDM is not described in terms of the execution time. Thus we develop a continuous-time HGDM with binomial sensitivity factor in order to remove these drawbacks. Statistical characteristics of the suggested model are studied and its applicability is then examined by analyzing real test data sets. It is empirically shown that the continuous-time HGDM with binomial sensitivity factor can be used as an alternative to the current HGDM.

In this study, we performed a GIS-based landslide hazard analysis by employing historical landslide data in Korea, coupling with geomorphological, geological, climatic and rainfall data. Based on 596 landslide data from 2001 to 2003, the correlations between landslide occurrence and various factors (elevation, slope angle, slope aspect, soil type and rainfall) that affect the occurrence were estimated by the statistical analysis, zonal statistics. The weights and hazard indices of 6 raster layers were derived from the estimated correlations in order to generate a landslide hazard map by applying raster calculation technique. As a result of this study, GIS technique can be used effectively to incorporate the landslide hazard contributions from various data sets simultaneously.

This study aims for generating a city spatial model required for the creation of a 3D noise map. In this study, we propose an efficient method to generate 3D models of the terrain and buildings using only a digital map and draft maps previously established without using any sensory data. The terrain model is generated by interpolating into a grid the elevation values derived from both the contour lines and the elevation point of the digital map. Building model is generated by combining the 2D building boundaries and the building elevations extracted from the digital map and the draft map, respectively. This method has been then applied to a digital map and three sets of draft maps created in the different times. covering the entire area of Yeongdeungpo-gu. The generated city spatial model has been successfully utilized for the noise analysis and the 3D visualization of the analysis results.

This essay examines the relationship between counterterrorism within the Lake Chad Basin Commission hereinafter referred to as LCBC and its effects on leaders' tenure in office. The countries of the LCBC, an intergovernmental institution promoting regional integration in the sub-region, established the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) primarily to maintain peace and security. In April 2012 the mandate of this structure was reinvigorated and broadened to manage the ongoing menace perpetrated by the Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram in the sub-region. The political consequences, however, has not been identical for leaders of the member states of the LCBC participating in this counterterrorism operation. This essay primarily relies on secondary data derived from available public data sets in explaining this phenomenon. The phenomenon of leaders in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad between 2010 and 2018 is used to examine the relationship between counterterrorism in the Lake Chad Basin Commission and its effects on political survival. Results suggest that leaders of highly democratic countries are more likely to lose office and held accountable for either perceived inaction or failure in the counterterrorism operation than their counterparts in autocratic states.
