The 1.54 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ forward and backward stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) have been studied in CH$_4$pumped by 1.06 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ Nd:YAG laser. The forward and backward SRS output energy in a single pass were measured at dufferent CH$_4$pressures. Under steady state conditions, the pump input threshold energies and Raman gains in forward and backward directions were for Raman conversion at various CH$_4$pressures for a tight focusing geometry. The forward and backward slope efficiency for Raman conversion were 18% and 34% respectively. The pump input threshold energy of the backward SRS was lower than that of the forward. In backward SRS, the experimental input laser threshold and Raman gain values were in good agreement with the calculated values at different pressures of CH$_4$. The retio of the backward to the forward SRS gain was appoximately 1.4 times above 1200 psi. We obtained that the backward Raman gain coefficient was 0.32 cm/GW, and the forward Raman gain coefficient 0.23cm/GW at 1400 psi. Asymmetry of the forward and backward Raman gain is caused by the interaction between different pump intensities of each direction duting the amplification of the Stokers. The backward Raman gain is proportional to the average pump intensity. However, the forward SRS output grows by depleting the local pump intensity.

The risk of collapse in hydraulic structures has become more elevated, due to the increased probability and scale of flooding caused by global warming and the resulting abnormal climatic conditions. When a levee, a typical hydraulic structure, breaks, an enormous breach flow pours into the floodplain and much flood damage then occurs. It is important to accurately calculate the breach discharge in order to predict this damage. In this study, the variation of the breach discharge with the asymmetry in the cross-section of the levee breach was analyzed. Through hydraulic experiments, the cross-section of the breach was analyzed during the collapse using the BASD (Bilateral ASymmetry Degree), which was developed to measure the degree of asymmetry. The relationship of the breach discharge was identified using the BASD. Additionally, the variation of the breach flow measured by the BASD was investigated through a 3-D numerical analysis under the same flow conditions as those in the experiment. It was found that the assumption of a rectangular breach cross-section, which is generally used for the estimation of the inundation area, can cause the breach discharge to be overestimated. According to the BASD, the breach flow is decreased by the interference effect in the breach section of the levee. If the breach flow is calculated while considering the BASD in the numerical analysis of the flooding, it is expected that the predicted inundation area can be estimated accurately.

In this work variations of orbital parameters are first derived from the perturbation equations using difference equation method under Earth oblateness and atmospheric drag. A simple and effective scheme is proposed to compute the required delta v and fuel consumption to compensate for atmospheric drag. The scheme is applied to KOMPSAT example. And by means of numerical simulations we quantitatively analyze influences due to each perturbation source, i.e., nonspherical Earth, atmospheric drag, third body gravities (Sun, Moon), and solar radiation.

Variation of radius vector was computed by Cowell's method. Perturbations due to the Sun, moon, and earth's asymmetrical potential are considered. We summarize our results as follows : I) $J_2$ term does not affect the equatorial orbit. ii) Large perturbation and secular variation on the above orbit are caused by tesseral harmonics. iii) The other perturbations have small effect and periodicity.

Purpose : The accurate dosimetry of independent collimator equipped for 6MV and 15MV X-ray beam was investigated to search for the optimal correction factor. Materials and Methods : The field size factors, beam quality and dose distribution were measured by using 6MV, 15MV X-ray Field size factors were measured from $3{\times}3cm^2$ to $35{\times}35cm^2$ by using 0.6cc ion chamber (NE 2571) at Dmax. Beam qualities were measured at different field sizes, off-axis distances and depths. Isodose distributions at different off-axis distance using $10\times10cm^2$ field were also investigated and compared with symmetric field. Result: 1) Relative field size factors was different along lateral distance with maximum changes in $3.1\%$ for 6MV and $5\%$ for 15MV. But the field size factors of asymmetric fields were identical to the modified central-axis values in symmetric field, which corrected by off-axis ratio at Dmax. 2) The HVL and PDD was decreased by increasing off-axis distance. PDD was also decreased by increasing depth For field size more than $5{\times}cm^2$ and depth less than 15cm, PDD of asymmetric field differs from that of symmetric one ($0.5\~2\%$ for 6MV and $0.4\~1.4\%$ for 15MV). 3) The measured isodose curves demonstrate divergence effects and reduced doses adjacent to the edge close to the flattening filter center was also observed. Conclusion . When asymmetric collimator is used, calculation of MU must be corrected with off-axis and PDD with a caution of underdose in central axis.

1997년 하수종말처리장의 민간위탁을 시작으로 국내 수도산업의 효율화에 대한 논의는 정부부처와 전문기관, 학계 등을 중심으로 제시되어 왔다. 수도산업 구조개편 논의는 지방상수도와 하수도산업의 규모의 영세성을 극복하기 위한 수직적 수평적 통합, 지방자치단체의 직영으로 인한 비효율성 제거를 위한 경영형태의 변화 등 크게 두 가지 흐름으로 정리할 수 있다. 상 하수도 사업의 수직적 수평적 통합은 주로 164개 수도사업자를 대략 9개 또는 12개 대규모 권역, 26개 또는 31개 중규모 권역으로 통합하는 방안들이 논의되고 있는데, 이와 같은 광역화 방안에 대해서는 정부부처, 연구기관, 전문가그룹 등에서 전반적인 합의가 형성되고 있다. 하지만 경영형태의 변화는 공사화와 민영화가 가장 큰 논의의 흐름으로, 이에 대해서는 집단과 지역 등 이해관계자간 상이한 견해들로 사회적인 합의를 이루지 못하고 있다. 한편 선진 수도사업을 구축하고 있는 프랑스, 네덜란드, 이스라엘 등지 에서는 수도산업의 효율성뿐만 아니라 공공성 제고 관점에서 구조적인 변화를 꾀하고 있다. 프랑스 파리시는 과거 150여 년 동안 유지되어 오던 수도사업의 민간운영을 전문공기업에 의한 위탁운영 방식으로 전환하는가 하면, 이스라엘은 정부와 민간기업간의 역할 분리를 통하여 물산업 수출국가로 발전하였다. 또한 네덜란드에서는 민영화 도입을 둘러싼 사회적 역량을 보다 발전적인 방향으로 유도하고자 법률로써 민영화를 금지하였다. 이에 본 연구는 글로벌 수도산업의 구조적인 변화 등을 살펴봄으로써 국내 수도산업이 효율성과 공공성을 제고하기 위한 경영 개선에 앞서 고려되어야 할 선결과제를 다음과 같이 제시한다. 첫째, 본 연구에서 살펴본 글로벌 수도산업의 구조적 변화(민영화에서 전문공기업화)는 수도사업의 정보의 비대칭성 및 투자저하가 효율적인 규제 메커니즘 부재에서 비롯되었다는 인식에서 추진되었다. 반면 국내시장은 산업 경제 전반이 정부주도로 이루어짐에 따라 적절한 규제의 틀과 문화가 정착되어 있지 않을 뿐만아니라 규제를 위한 전문인력도 상당히 부록한 실정이다. 따라서 효과적인 민영화의 도입을 위해서는 인적 제도적 인프라 형성이 선결과제이다. 둘째, 신규 또는 개량 투자에 대한 수요 발생, 생산원가에 미달하는 요금회수율 등은 민영화 도입 이후요금인상의 압박요인으로 작용할 것이다. 따라서 생산원가를 저감시키기 위한 광역화, 통합관리체계 등에 의한 원가절감 노력을 통하여 수도산업을 효율화하고 요금회수율을 현실화 등의 과제가 선결되어야 할 것이다.

In order to understand the mechanism of the cross-shore evolution of storm (barred) and normal (nonbarred) profiles of a sandy beach, the vertically two-dimensional laboratory experiment was performed with a movable bed. The beach profiles and free surface motion were measured under monochromatic wave conditions evolving the storm and normal beach profiles. The observation was conducted in the surf zone during the alternation of the two wave conditions to reach its quasi-equilibrium state. The sandbar-crest and trough and the steep berm were evolved due to the plunging breakers in the storm case, and the bar-trough was decayed due to the spilling breakers in the normal case. From the measurements, it was found that the storm wave case was in an erosion state and the normal wave case was in an accretion state. The strong undertow, which is a dominant factor of the offshore migration mechanism, was developed in the storm wave case, and the weak undertow was developed in the normal wave case. The skewness and the asymmetry of the nonlinear wave motion, which is a dominant factor of the onshore migration mechanism, was measured similarly in both cases.

Fama asserted that in an efficient market, we can't make a trading rule that consistently outperforms the average stock market returns. This study aims to suggest a machine learning algorithm to improve the trading performance of an intraday short volatility strategy applying asymmetric volatility spillover effect, and analyze its trading performance improvement. Generally stock market volatility has a negative relation with stock market return and the Korean stock market volatility is influenced by the US stock market volatility. This volatility spillover effect is asymmetric. The asymmetric volatility spillover effect refers to the phenomenon that the US stock market volatility up and down differently influence the next day's volatility of the Korean stock market. We collected the S&P 500 index, VIX, KOSPI 200 index, and V-KOSPI 200 from 2008 to 2018. We found the negative relation between the S&P 500 and VIX, and the KOSPI 200 and V-KOSPI 200. We also documented the strong volatility spillover effect from the VIX to the V-KOSPI 200. Interestingly, the asymmetric volatility spillover was also found. Whereas the VIX up is fully reflected in the opening volatility of the V-KOSPI 200, the VIX down influences partially in the opening volatility and its influence lasts to the Korean market close. If the stock market is efficient, there is no reason why there exists the asymmetric volatility spillover effect. It is a counter example of the efficient market hypothesis. To utilize this type of anomalous volatility spillover pattern, we analyzed the intraday volatility selling strategy. This strategy sells short the Korean volatility market in the morning after the US stock market volatility closes down and takes no position in the volatility market after the VIX closes up. It produced profit every year between 2008 and 2018 and the percent profitable is 68%. The trading performance showed the higher average annual return of 129% relative to the benchmark average annual return of 33%. The maximum draw down, MDD, is -41%, which is lower than that of benchmark -101%. The Sharpe ratio 0.32 of SVS strategy is much greater than the Sharpe ratio 0.08 of the Benchmark strategy. The Sharpe ratio simultaneously considers return and risk and is calculated as return divided by risk. Therefore, high Sharpe ratio means high performance when comparing different strategies with different risk and return structure. Real world trading gives rise to the trading costs including brokerage cost and slippage cost. When the trading cost is considered, the performance difference between 76% and -10% average annual returns becomes clear. To improve the performance of the suggested volatility trading strategy, we used the well-known SVM algorithm. Input variables include the VIX close to close return at day t-1, the VIX open to close return at day t-1, the VK open return at day t, and output is the up and down classification of the VK open to close return at day t. The training period is from 2008 to 2014 and the testing period is from 2015 to 2018. The kernel functions are linear function, radial basis function, and polynomial function. We suggested the modified-short volatility strategy that sells the VK in the morning when the SVM output is Down and takes no position when the SVM output is Up. The trading performance was remarkably improved. The 5-year testing period trading results of the m-SVS strategy showed very high profit and low risk relative to the benchmark SVS strategy. The annual return of the m-SVS strategy is 123% and it is higher than that of SVS strategy. The risk factor, MDD, was also significantly improved from -41% to -29%.

This paper investigates changes in the extent of exchange rate pass-through to export price in Korea. First, empirical results show that export prices have become less responsive to the exchange rate since the financial crisis in 1997. The decline of exchange rate pass-through to export prices suggests that Korean exporters are more likely to use profit margins to absorb part of the impact of exchange rate changes, consistent with pricing to market phenomenon. Second, this paper finds asymmetries in the response of export prices to exchange rate changes. In the post-crisis period. appreciations are more likely to be offset by markup adjustment than depreciations. Third, this paper documents that a significant portion of the decline of exchange rate pass-through is a result of both increased volatility of exchange rate and increased competition with China in the world market.
