The long-term water-quality change of Asan Bay by the influx of polluted disposal water was predicted through a simulation with an Eco-hydrodynamic model. Eco-hydrodynamic model is composed of a multi-level hydrodynamic model to simulate the water flow and an ecosystem model to simulate water quality. The water quality simulation revealed that the COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand), dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) are increased at 5 stations for the subsequent 6 months after the influx of the effluent. COD, DIN and DIP showed gradual decreases in concentration during the period of one to two years after the increase of last 6 months and reached steady state for next three to ten years. Concentration levels of COD, DIN, and DIP showed the increase by the ranges of $11{\sim}67%$, $10{\sim}67%$, and $0.5{\sim}7%$, respectively, which represents that the COD and DIN are the most prevalent pollutants among substances in the effluent through the sewage treatment plant. The current water quality of Asan Bay based on the observed COD, TN and TP concentrations ranks into the class II of the Korean standards for marine water quality but the water quality would deteriorate into class III in case that the disposal water by the sewage plant is discharged into the Bay.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be fabricated through solution process economically with variable bandgap that is controlled by composition of precursor solution. Tandem cells in which PSCs combined with silicon solar cells have potential to reach high power conversion efficiency over 30%, however, lack of long-term stability of PSCs is an obstacle to commercialization. Degradation of PSCs is mainly attributed to the mass transport of halide and metal electrode materials. In order to ensure the long-term stability, the mass transport should be inhibited. In this study, we confirmed degradation behaviors due to the mass transport in PSCs and designed buffer layers with LiF and/or SnO₂ to improve the long-term stability by suppressing the mass transport. Under high-temperature storage test at 85℃, PSCs without the buffer layers were degraded by forming PbI₂, AgI, and the delta phase of the perovskite material, while PSCs with the buffer layers showed improved stability with keeping the original phase of the perovskite. When the LiF buffer and encapsulation were applied to PSCs, superior long-term stability on 85℃-85% RH dump heat test was achieved; efficiency drop was not observed after 200 h. It was also confirmed that 90.6% of the initial efficiency was maintained after 200 hours of maximum power tracking test under AM 1.5G-1SUN illumination. Here, we have demonstrated that the buffer layer is essential to achieve long-term stability of PSCs.

배경: 승모판막 질환에 동반된 심방세동의 경우 그 기간이 길면 승모판막 질환을 수술하여도 동성 율동으로 전환될 가능성이 매우 적다. 본 연구는 승모판막 질환에 동반된 심방세동에 대한 변형 Maze 수술후 장기 결과와 심방세도의 재발에 미치는 요인을 조사 하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 1996년까지 승모판막 질환과 동반된 심방세동으로 외과적 요법을 시행받은 35명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 심방세동의 평균 유병기간은 평균 7.7$\pm$4.5년이었고 수술은 승모판막 대치술 34례(재수술 3례)와 승모판막 성형술 1례를 시행하였고 승모판 질환 수술 외에 동반 수술로는 삼첨판륜 성형술 4례, 삼첨판막 대치술 3례 였다. 심 방세동에 대한 수술은 좌측 폐정맥 부위는 격리하지 않는 변형 Maze 수술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 동성 율동으로 회복여부, 심방세동의 재발에 미치는 요인과 장기 결과를 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 직후 2례를 제외한 33례(93.9%)에서 동성율동으로 돌아왔으나 수술 후 퇴원 전에 12례에서 심방세동이 재발되었다. 수술환자중 1례에서 수술 후 3일에 동성 정지에 따른 심정지가 발생하여 소생되었으나 뇌손상으로 수술 후 15일에 사망하였다. 심방세동이 재발된 경우 수술 후 약 2개월에서 6개월 사이에 항부정맥 약물(mquinidine)과 전기적 제세동으로 치료하여 12례중 10례에서 동성 율동으로 돌아온 환자는 항부정맥 약물을 모두 중단하 였으며, 수술 후 3년에서 9년(평균 71.1$\pm$17.5개월) 추적 관찰 중 9례에서 심방세동이 재발되어 장기간 동성 율동이 유지된 환자는 34명중 25명으로 73.5%이었다. 승모판 질환이 있던 환자에서 수술 후 심방세동의 재발에 미치는 요인들을 조사한 결과 수술전 심방세동의 기간(동성율동 유지군 : 재발군=6.3년 : 10.3년, P=0.008)과 수술 전 단순 흉부 X선상 심흉비율(0.58 : 0.72, p=0.009)은 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났으나 심초음파 검사상 좌심방의 직경(57.2mm : 77.4mm, p=0.106)은 통계학적 유의성이 없었다. 결론: 심방세동이 있는 환자에서 동반 질환 수술시 병행하여 수술한다면 정상 동성 율동으로 회복될 기회를 증가시킬 수 있는 유용한 수술법으로 생각된다. 그러나 수술후 재발률을 감소시키기 위하여 적절한 술기의 변형에 대한 연구와 약물요법의 병행을 고려하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Dynamic responses were measured using long-term monitoring system for Uldolmok tidal current pilot power plant which is one of jacket-type offshore structures. Among the dynamic quantities, the tilt angle was chosen because the low frequency response components can be precisely measured by dynamic tiltmeter, and the natural frequencies and modal damping ratio were successfully identified using proposed LS-FDD (least squared frequency domain decomposition) method. And the effects of tidal height and tidal current velocity on the variation of natural frequencies and modal damping ratios were investigated in time and frequency domain. Also the non-parametric models were tested to model the relationship between tidal conditions and modal properties such as natural frequencies and damping ratios.

This paper examined the effect of long-term ad campaign for building of brand identity and the relationship between brand identity as a viewpoint of a company and brand image in a viewpoint of consumers. As a result, it was revealed that advertising played an important role to make brand identity. In specific, a long-term ad campaign with a consistent concept and message was more effective for consumers to imbue clear and differential brand traits. In addition, it is discovered that the consistency and durability of advertising message for the advertised brand are contributed to consumers' positive attitude toward the brand. This result was revealed from the comparison of print advertisements for two brands-'Chamisul fresh' and 'Chumchurum', which are alcoholic brands on an intense competition in the same soju market in Korea. While Chumchurum has been consistently focused on one core trait for the brand, Chamisul fresh has been concentrated on multiple brand traits in the advertising campaign for four years since the brand had been launched.

규화목은 목본식물의 2차목부가 화석화된 것으로 화석화 과정에서 여러 종류의 무기물이 세포를 치환하거나 세포의 내강 또는 간극에 침투하여 고화된 것이다. 이 과정에서 목재의 해부학적 구조가 잘 보존되는 경우가 많고 이를 통해 목재의 수종을 비교적 정확히 동정할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 과거 환경에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 목재는 유관속 형성층에 의해 매년 새롭게 형성되어 축적되며 형성된 조직은 성장하는 당해 기후변화를 반영하게 된다. 따라서 화석목재를 통해 과거 기후조건을 복원할 수 있는 정보를 얻을 수 있는 경우도 많다). 본 연구는 포항 분지의 신제3기 마이오세 장기층군에서 채집한 규화목의 조직과 나이테 분석을 통해 고환경을 해석한 것이다. 장기층군에서 채집한 15개의 규화목 표본 중 나이테가 잘 나타나는 5개 표본에서 나이테를 분석하고 그중 조직이 잘 보존된 1개의 표본에 대해 목재해부학적 연구를 수행하였다. 나무가 성장함에 따라 나타나는 나이테의 폭은 환경적 요인 등으로 매년 일정하지 않다. 이런 인접연륜간의 연륜변동성을 알아보기 위해 연륜연대학(Dendrochronology)에서 널리 사용되는 평균민감도 측정 방법을 사용하였다. 평균민감도는 연륜변동이 어느 정도있느냐를 알아보는 것으로 인접한 연륜들 사이의 차이를 측정하여 인접연륜간 연륜변동성을 나타낸다. 평균민감도 값이 크면 연륜폭 변동이 크다는 것을 의미하며 나무가 자라는 당시 환경인자의 변화량이 컸다고 해석할 수 있다. 조직이 잘 보존된 1개의 표본은 목재해부학적 특징상 느릅나무과(Ulmaceae) 느릅나무속(Ulmus)으로 동정되었다. 또한 5개 표본의 나이테를 분석한 결과 평균민감도는 0.34~0.41 범위를 나타내며 전체 평균은 0.37의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 규화목 생성 당시 환경이 온대기후를 지시하며, 물 공급이 매년 계절적인 제한을 받았거나 다양한 변화가 있어 계절적으로 강수량 변화가 있었음을 지시한다.

Cointegration test is usually performed under the assumption that the cointegrating vector is constant for the whole sample period. Most previous studies have used conventional cointegration methods in testing for a stable long-run equilibrium relation among related variables. However they have overlooked that the long-run equilibrium may not the unique and the stable relation may not be guaranteed. This study develops the additional statistical tests for the stability of the estimated cointegrating vector. Three tests for the parameter stability of a cointegrated regression model are utilized and applied to identify the types of variations in the long-run relation between the domestic unemployment and the rotated macroeconomic variables of interest. The present paper finds that, there exists a stable but, time-varying long-run relation between those. The observed variation in cointegrating relations is generally characterized by a discrete one-time shift, rather than a gradually evolving random walk process which is attributable to the IMF financial and economic crisis.

The failure mechanism and failure morphology of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) tubing under hydrostatic pressure were investigated. Microscopic observations using video microscope and scanning electron microscope indicate that the failure mode is a brittle fracture including cracks propagated from inner wall to outer wall. In addition, oxidation induction time and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show the presence of exothermic peak and the increase in carbonyl index on the surface of fractured LLDPE tubing, due to thermal-degradation. An accelerated life test methodology and testing system for LLDPE tubing are developed using the relationship between stresses and life characteristics by means of thermal acceleration. Statistical approaches using the Arrhenius model and Weibull distribution are implemented to estimate the long-term life time of LLDPE tubing under hydrostatic pressure. Consequently, the long-term life time of LLDPE tubing at the operating temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ could be predicted and also be analyzed.

If stock market is efficient, any well-devised trading rule can't consistently outperform the average stock market returns. This study aims to verify whether the strategy based on bid-ask volume information can beat the stock market. I suggested a day trading strategy using order imbalance indicator and empirically analyzed its profitability with the KOSPI 200 index futures data from 2001 to 2018. Entry rules are as follows: If BSI is over 50%, enter buy order, otherwise enter sell order, assuming that stock price rises after BSI is over 50% and stock price falls after BSI is less than 50%. The empirical results showed that the suggested trading strategy generated very high trading profit, that is, its annual return runs to minimum 71% per annum even after the transaction costs. The profit was generated consistently during 18 years. This study also improved the suggested trading strategy applying the genetic algorithm, which may help the market practitioners who trade the KOSPI 200 index futures.

This study show the empirical results and the models that explain the content creator's personal brand value in the user-generated content platform. Producer's brand value performance could have enhancement and dilution by their activities for the long-term and repetitive change. Therefore, for the measure and analysis, the models have to catch the effect from producer's the diverse activities. This study would find the guideline by competitive analysis between (1) the impact of in-group user's self-motivated participation and (2) the impact of the social links from the outside platform. Based on the analysis results, producer's creation activity as focused on the specific and professional category increase their brand value for the long-term. However, producers would have to upload diverse category, after users are bored to their similar videos' as before. These empirical results would be a guidelines to the content management strategies for producers and the platform.
