This study aimed to predict total phosphorus (T-P) to address early eutrophication caused by nutrient influx from various human activities. Traditional T-P monitoring systems are labor-intensive and time-consuming, leading to a global trend of using direct reading sensors. Therefore, this study utilized water quality parameters obtained from direct reading sensors in a two-stage T-P prediction process. The importance of turbidity (Tur) in T-P prediction was examined, and an analysis was conducted to determine if T-P prediction is possible using only direct reading sensor parameters by adding automatic water quality analyzer parameters. The study found that T-P concentrations were higher in the mid-lower reaches of the Nakdong River basin compared to the upper reaches. Pearson correlation analysis identified water quality parameters highly correlated with T-P at each site, which were then used in multiple linear regression analysis to predict T-P. The analysis was conducted with and without the inclusion of Tur, and the performance of models incorporating automatic water quality analyzer parameters was compared with those using only direct reading sensor parameters. The results confirmed the significance of Tur in T-P prediction, suggesting that it can be used as a foundational element in the development of measures to prevent eutrophication.

This paper is to estimate and analyze the price elasticities of demand for mobile calls. We used the data for the period from January 2000 to December 2005 on a monthly basis. Data used are call minutes to mobile-originating(ML+MM), tariff for dispatch of fixed and mobile calls($P_L,P_M$), income(Y), and subscriber for mobile(N). In order to provide robust estimates of price elasticities, we have used two different econometric models. One is a Dynamic model which includes a lagged dependent variable and so can differentiate between long-un and short-run price elasticities using the Generalized Method of Moments(GMM). The other is a Box-Cox transformation model which is one of the most useful methods. Box-Cox transformation model shows that elasticity changes with the lapse of time. The results are as follow : Not including the price indices for land-originating, the estimate is overestimated otherwise. In Box-Cox transformation case, price elasticity had been steadily declining. And this result shows that mobile services had been changed necessities increasingly in Korea.

ZnO 바리스터는 정전기 및 순간적인 surge로부터 전자기기 및 전자회로 등을 보호하기 위해 개발된 전자 세라믹스 소재이다. 최근 전자기기 등의 고속통신 추세에 따라 ZnO 바리스터는 높은 비선형 특성과 함께 보다 낮은 유전율 및 유전손실 특성이 특별히 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 양산되고 있는 Bi-계와 Pr-계 ZnO 바리스터가 아닌 새로운 조성계를 이용하여 Y 첨가량(0.1~3.0 at%)에 따른 ZnO 바리스터의 전기적 특성과 유전 특성을 살펴보았다. 시편은 일반적인 세라믹 공정에 따라 제조하여 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 3 시간 공기 중에서 소결하였으며, 소결 및 전기적 특성과 유전 특성(밀도, 미세구조, I-V 특성, 유전율, 유전손실, ZnO grain 비저항)은 FE-SEM, Keithley237, Agilent 4294a 및 Agilent 4991a 장비를 사용하여 Y 함량에 따른 ZnO 바리스터의 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. 그 결과, Y이 2.0 at% 첨가한 계의 바리스터 특성이 가장 우수하였다. 보다 구체적으로 살펴보면 다음과 같다. Y 함량이 증가함에 따라 상대밀도는 94~96%로 증가하였으며, 평균입경은 증가하였다. 또한 유전율은 580~215 (at 1 MHz)로 Y 함량이 증가할수록 낮아졌다. 이를 통하여 새로운 바리스터 조성계에서 Y의 첨가 효과에 대하여 논하였다.

In the software development process, software reliability evaluation is a very important issue. In particular, finding the optimal development model that satisfies high reliability is the more important task for software developers. For this, in this study, Pareto and Erlang life distributions were applied to the finite failure NHPP model to evaluate the reliability attributes. For this purpose, parametric estimation is applied to the maximum likelihood estimation method, and nonlinear equations are calculated using the bisection method. As a result, the Erlang model showed better performance than the Pareto model in the evaluation of the strength function and the mean value function. Also, as a result of inputting future mission time and evaluating reliability, the Erlang model showed an effectively high trend together with the Pareto model, while the Goel-Okumoto basic model showed a decreasing trend. In conclusion, the Erlang model is the best model among the proposed models. Through this study, it is expected that software developers will be able to use it as a basic guideline for exploring and evaluating the optimal software reliability model.

This study introduces and analyzes the data from Directory of Korean NGOs, which was published in 1997 and again in 200, to conduct a quantitative research on the growth of civic organization in South Korea. This paper focus on the information on membership size and founding year which are essential indicators for the growth of organizations. Missing rates on those two indicators are checked to evaluate the quality of data. We examine the changes in membership size between the two time periods, 1996 and 1999. It shows that there is a considerable decrease in the membership size for civic and advocary organizations that are oriented to national issues. It suggests the competition among the organizations over limited resources, which is consistent with an assumption of ecological theory of organization on non-linear growth pattern. Using founding year data from 1945 to 1996, we estimate pseudo growth curves of civic organizations based on logistic growth curve model to discuss different growth patterns of organizations across areas of activities.

Increased investment in environment-friendly transport vehicles has led to rapid transit of railway tracks, double track program, linear improvements in railway lines, and moving railroad routes into the suburbs. They resulted in fast increase of railway yards. However, as the railroad yards being neglected, urban fine sites have been degraded. Local governments kept seeking ways to utilize the railway yards. In addition, Ministry of land, infrastructure and transport enacted "Guidelines for utilization of railway yards". The Guidelines categorized the railway yards into three types; conservation, utilized, and other sites in order to make efficient use of them. The railway yards have been converted and used for parks, rail bike trails, bike paths, and solar projects. It seems that studies are needed on diverse use of the yards and on post evaluation. This study investigated current uses of railway yards, domestic and foreign, and analyzed for the pertinent conditions on natural and cultural landscape, educational value, location and accessibility, potential for recreational area, and development opportunities. In this study, I proposed a quantitative evaluation method, and to find way to diversify the use of railway yards.

Recently, it becomes to be very important to reduce the cabin noise of passenger ship, according to the trend of speedy and luxury ship. The noise reduction and control techniques should be considered as important factors from the viewpoint of the sound problem of cabin. Therefore, ship designer has to improve the sound quality as well as to redece the sound pressure level in cabins. In this paper, for the new approach of these problems, we tried to find the trends of noise and sound quality of high-speed coastal passenger ships. Loudness, roughness, fluctuation strength, and sharpness are selected as the parameters for the evaluation of sound quality. The parameters are calculated by using the sound measured in cabin while the ship is running. Furthermore we tried to find the trend of each parameter in cabins and compare with that of sound pressure level. As results, we find that the loudness is linearly proportional to sound pressure level. But, the other parameters show different trends which may be caused by ship motion on the wave and fluctuation of propelling power.
