With the advances in multimedia databases on the World Wide Web, it becomes more important to provide users with the search capability of distributed multimedia data. While there have been many studies about the database selection and the collection fusion for text databases. The multimedia databases on the Web have autonomous and heterogeneous properties and they use mainly the content based retrieval. The collection fusion problem of multimedia databases is concerned with the merging of results retrieved by content based retrieval from heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. This problem is crucial for the search in distributed multimedia databases, however, it has not been studied yet. This paper provides novel algorithms for processing the collection fusion of heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. We propose two heuristic algorithms for estimating the number of objects to be retrieved from local databases and an algorithm using the linear regression. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms. These algorithms can provide the basis for the distributed content based retrieval algorithms for multimedia databases on the Web.

Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is used as a legal or voluntary safety management tool for the hazardous material industry and the utilization of the method is gradually increasing. Therefore, a leak frequency analysis based on reliable generic data is a critical element in the evolution of QRA and safety technologies. The aim of this paper is to derive the leak frequency function that can be applied more flexibly in QRA based on OGP report with high reliability and global utilization. For the purpose, we first reviewed the data on the 16 equipments included in the OGP report and selected the predictors. And then we found good equations to fit the OGP data using non-linear regression analysis. The various expectation functions were applied to search for suitable parameter to serve as a meaningful reference in the future. The results of this analysis show that the best fitting parameter is found in the form of DNV function and connection function in natural logarithm. In conclusion, the average percentage error between the fitted and the original value is very small as 3 %, so the derived prediction function can be applicable in the quantitative frequency analysis. This study is to contribute to expand the applicability of QRA and advance safety engineering as providing the generic equations for practical leak frequency analysis.

The sound quality based on design optimization, throughout the development process of various electronic office equipments, needs to be considered in order to respond the increased needs for the emotional satisfaction of customers in terms of psycho-acoustics. This paper focuses on how to describe the characteristics of operating sound radiated from laser printers by using various sound attributes, and to model the sound quality index that can properly evaluate the subjective preference on modification conditions in the improvement study quantitatively. Especially, the proposed verification process, in the form of combining the correlation based method and the decision error based method, was applied to improve the generality and reliability of a group of participants in the jury evaluation. The modified Aures tonality model was also proposed to improve the correlation coefficient with the mean response of participants by optimizing some parameters. As a result, the loudness, articulation index, roughness, tonality, fluctuation strength were used to model the sound quality index for laser printers by using the multiple-linear regression method. Through the improvement study, it was confirmed that replacing the absorbing materials is effective to reduce the tonalness radiated from the side of a reference printer model. Based on above results, it can be concluded that the proposed model has enough usefulness as quantitative evaluation index to evaluate the difference between modification conditions in the improvement study.

Spectral reflectance data of upland crops at OSMI bands were collected and evaluated for the feasibility of crop discrimination knowledge-based on crop calendar. Effective bands and their ratio values for discriminating corn from two other legumes were defined with OSMI equivalent bands and their ratio values. For corn discrimination from two other legumes, peanut and soybean, June 22 among measurements dates was the best since all OSMI equivalent bands and their ratio values in June 22 were highly significant for corn separability. Phenological growth stage of a silage corn (rs510) could be estimated as a function of spectral reflectance in vegetative stage. Five growth stage prediction models were generated by the SAS procedures REG and STEPWISE with OSMI equivalent bands and their ratio values in vegetative stage.

수자원 관리의 새로운 패러다임으로 스마트워터그리드가 이슈화되고 있다. 스마트워터그리드는 현재 직면해 있는 물 문제를 ICT기술을 활용하여 효율적으로 관리 및 운영할 수 있는 기술이다. 가뭄과 홍수 등을 대응하기 위한 분산형 수자원, 그리고 수량과 수질등의 통합 관리를 지향하는 물관리 패러다임과 ICT와 물산업을 융복합화하여 양방향 실시간 운영을 통한 네트워크 구성, 그리고 대규모 수원개발과 장거리 수송방식으로부터 지역단위의 부존된 수자원인 다중수원을 효율적으로 활용하고, 이들 수원의 최적 블랜딩 기술 및 멀티워터루프를 이용한 수요자 중심의 물관리에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역의 부존된 수자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 운영지수를 산정함으로써 지역의 평상시 물관리 운영과 상수공급차단, 다중수원에 오염물질 유입, 가뭄발생 등 비상시 상황에 물관리가 원활히 이루어지도록 하였다. 스마트워터그리드에서 사용되는 물관리 운영지수는 비상시 지역간 플랫폼에 정상적으로 물공급이 어렵거나, 예상되어 유량 확보가 필요시 원활하게 유량 확보가 가능하도록 주변 지역간의 운영지수를 산정하여 최적의 조건을 도출하여 우선순위를 시나리오에 나타내어 사용자가 플랫폼에 물공급이 가능하도록 제시한 운영지수이다. 물관리 운영지수는 중회귀분석 기법을 이용하여 종속변수에 선형적인 영향을 미치는 유량, 수질, 이송거리, 전력비용, 경제적인 영향 등을 고려하여 종속변수의 값을 예측하고 통계적인 기법으로 유량, 수질, 이송거리, 전력비용, 경제적인 영향 등에 대한 장래추정치를 부여하여 회귀모델을 구축하여 물관리 운영지수를 산정하였다. 이를 활용하여 평상시에는 물수요 공급량을 정확히 관리하여 지역간의 수자원 불균형을 해소하고 비상시에는 상황을 대처하여 지역의 물부족 문제를 해소할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is a phenomenon in which a protective coating on a metal surface is dissolved by a flow of fluid in a metal pipe, leading to continuous wall-thinning. Recently, many countries have developed computer codes to manage FAC in power plants, and the FAC prediction model in these computer codes plays an important role in predictive performance. Herein, the FAC prediction model was developed by applying a machine learning method and the conventional nonlinear regression method. The random forest, a widely used machine learning technique in predictive modeling led to easy calculation of FAC tendency for five input variables: flow rate, temperature, pH, Cr content, and dissolved oxygen concentration. However, the model showed significant errors in some input conditions, and it was difficult to obtain proper regression results without using additional data points. In contrast, nonlinear regression analysis predicted robust estimation even with relatively insufficient data by assuming an empirical equation and the model showed better predictive power when the interaction between DO and pH was considered. The comparative analysis of this study is believed to provide important insights for developing a more sophisticated FAC prediction model.

We posit that employee ownership through defined contribution (DC) plans results in managerial entrenchment, and then examine the effect of the enactment of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 on the relation between the employee ownership and firm performance. By conducting Ordinary Least Square regression with the data from Form 5500 over the period of 1999-2014, we find that firms with large employee ownership increase their firm value measured by Tobin's Q after the adoption of the Act. These findings suggest that the adoption of the Act has been effective to mitigate the negative effect of managerial entrenchment by decreasing the employee ownership and reinforcing the fiduciary duty of plan trustees. Given the fact that we test the effects of the diversification rule on employee ownership using firm performance, further research could aim to examine the effects of the rule on employee ownership using stock return or market reaction.

It is one of the most important factors to statistical estimation of ambient temperature for accumulated degree day (ADD) and minimum postmortem interval (PMI) in the incident scene. Until now, we applied the temperature of the nearest weather stations, adjusted temperature, or estimated the temperature by the linear regression analysis to estimate the temperature of the incident site. At this time, the estimated temperature may be changed according to the method of temperature estimation. And The accuracy of the estimated value may also vary depending on the environmental factors such as capacity, wind speed, humidity, and rainfall, which may affect measurement conditions and temperature. Therefore, we studied the effect of various environmental factors and measurement conditions for ambient temperature in Korea.

The duty-free industry before COVID-19 has continuously grown since 2000, along with the increase of demand in tourism industry. To cope with the increased demand, the duty free companies have kept the strategies which focused on the sales volume. Therefore, they have developed the ways to increase the volume and capacity, not the efficient operations. In the most of previous research, however, authors have proposed the better strategies for marketing and supporting policies. It is very hard to find the previous research which dealt with the operations like logistics and inventory management. Therefore, in this study, it has been predicted the future demand of frequently purchased items in airport duty free shops based on the estimated number of departing passengers by the linear regression, which concluded with the appropriate inventory level. In addition, it has been analyzed the expected effects by introducing the inventory management policy considering the cost and efficiency of operations. Based on the results of this study, it may be possible to reduce total cost and improve productivity by predicting the excessive inventory problems at duty-free shops and improving cycles of supplying items.
