A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.9501eV-(8.79x10^{-4}eV/K)T^2(T+250K)$. After the as-grown $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},\;V_{Se},\;Ag_{int},\;and\;Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $AgGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

This study examined how empowerment of restaurant cooks influences job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and customer orientation, targeting 260 restaurant cooks in the Busan area. SPSS 18.0 was employed to perform frequency, factor, reliability, and multiple (simple) regression analyses. Empowerment was analyzed using 3 factors (self-authority, meaning and competence) while job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and customer orientation were analyzed using 1 factor each. Results of a correlation analysis of the hypothesized model revealed positive correlations among the variables. Multiple (simple) regression analyses of the hypothesized model found that the sub empowerment factors will have a positive influence on job satisfaction with self-authority (${\beta}$=.372, p<.001), meaning (${\beta}$=.451, p<.001), competence (${\beta}$=.240, p<.001). It was also found that the sub empowerment factors will have a positive influence on organizational commitment with self-authority (${\beta}$=.433, p<.001), meaning (${\beta}$=.473, p<.001), competence (${\beta}$=.302, p<.001). Lastly, the hypotheses that job satisfaction will have a positive influence on organizational commitment (${\beta}$=.775, p<.001), that job satisfaction will have a positive influence on customer orientation (${\beta}$=.467, p<.001), and that organizational commitment will have a positive influence on customer orientation (${\beta}$=.567, p<.001) were adopted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether customer satisfaction is affected by the expenditure for the customer satisfaction such as advertising, promotion, and training. This study also investigate whether the financial performance of the firm is affected by the customer satisfaction. The major findings are summarized as following. First, the customer satisfaction is affected by the expenditure for the customer satisfaction such as promotion, training. But customer satisfaction is not affected by advertising cost. Second, considering the time-lag and incremental valiables, the relationship between customer satisfaction and expenditure for the customer satisfaction is not founded. Third, the customer satisfaction affects positively on the corporate financial performance, such as ratio of operating income to sales, ratio of net income to sales, return on total assets, and return on equity. Finally, considering the time-lag the relationship between customer satisfaction and financial performance is not founded. Considering the incremental valiables, the relationship between customer satisfaction and financial performance is founded when ratio of operating income to sales and return on total assets are used financial performance. These findings imply that the expenditure for promotiom and training is needed to increase the customer satisfaction. Also improvement customer satisfaction is needed to increase the financial performance. The limitations of this study are as following. First, this study could not consider the other variables that would affect on the relationship among expenditure for customer satisfaction, level of customer satisfaction, and financial performance. Second, the results of this study are difficult to generalize because this study is focused on the service industry.

The present study was retrospectively designed to define whether preoperative levels of leukocytes and D-dimer are potentially useful factors in predicting perioperative outcomes of coronary heart disease (CHD). There was no relationship between preoperative leukocyte counts (Pre-OP leukocyte) and preoperative D-dimer levels (Pre-OP D-dimer). Pre-OP leukocyte counts each had positive correlation with cardiac troponin-I, creatine kinase-MB or C-reactive protein (cardiac markers) levels at preoperative and postoperative periods. Pre-OP D-dimer levels were positively associated with each cardiac marker at the same periods. Pre-OP leukocyte counts positively related with aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (liver markers), whereas Pre-OP D-dimer level positively or negatively correlated with bilirubin (liver marker), creatinine (renal marker) or glucose levels at preoperative and/or postoperative periods. Pre-OP leukocyte and Pre-OP D-dimer were inversely associated with Pre-OP high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels or left ventricular ejection fraction. Pre-OP leukocyte counts each had positive correlation operation duration and postoperative mechanical ventilation-time (PMVT), whereas Pre-OP D-dimer levels had positive relationship with PMVT, intensive care unit-staying period and hospitalization. The retrospective data suggest that Pre-OP leukocyte and Pre-OP D-dimer levels may be clinically useful factors for predicting perioperative outcomes in patients with CHD.

This study presents development of the ANN simulator for well placement of infill drilling in gas fields. The input data of the ANN simulator includes the production time, well location, all inter well distances, boundary inter well distance, infill well position, productivity potential, functional links, reservoir pressure. The output data includes the bottomhole pressure in addition to the production rate. Thus, it is possible to calculate the productivity and bottomhole pressure during production period simultaneously, and it is expected that this model could replace conventional simulators. Training for the 20 well placement scenarios was conducted. As a result, it was found that accuracy of ANN simulator was high as the coefficient of correlation for production rate was 0.99 and the bottomhole pressure 0.98 respectively. From the resultes, the validity of the ANN simulator has been verified. The term, which could produce Maximum Daily Quantity (MDQ) at the gas field and the productivity according to the well location was analyzed. As a result, the MDQ could be maintained for a short time in scenario C-1, which has the three infill wells nearby aquifer boundary, and a long time in scenario A-1. In conclusion, it was found that scenario A maintained the MDQ up to 21% more than those of scenarios B and C which include parameters that might affect the productivity. Thus, the production rate can be maximized by selecting the location of production wells in comprehensive consideration of parameters that may affect the productivity. Also, because the developed ANN simulator could calculate both production rate and bottomhole pressure, respectively, it could be used as the forward simulator in a various inverse model.

The purpose of this study is to figure out the effects of consumers' recognition and shopping motives for local food on purchase behaviors. To achieve this, a survey was carried out to 350 consumers who have experienced in purchasing local food in Wanju from May 21 to May 30, 2014. The results were as follows. First, the effects of consumers' recognition for local food on purchase behaviors showed that cognitive, regional, sanitary and public perspectives had a positive effect on repurchase intention(p<.05). Cognitive and sanitary perspectives had a positive effect on recommendation intention(p<.01). And cognitive, ecological, regional, sanitary and public perspectives had a positive effect on preference(p<.05). Second, the effects of consumers' shopping motives for local food on purchase behaviors showed that while convenient and economic motives had a positive effect on repurchase intention(p<.001), a hedonic motive had a negative effect on repurchase intention(p<.001). While convenient and economic motives had a positive effect on recommendation intention(p<.01), a hedonic motive had a negative effect on recommendation intention(p<.001). And convenient and economic motives had a positive effect on preference(p<.001). In other words, consumers' recognition and shopping motives for local food had positive negative effects on purchase behaviors. As stated above, cognitive, regional, sanitary and public perspectives they are usually hearing had a positive effect on the consumption of local food.

The root-zone environment is an important factor to the plant growth and it is closely related to the thermal characteristics of the root media. In this study thermal characteristics of root media with ambient environmental conditions were analyzed. The temperatures of nutrient solution as well as inside air of culture bed were measured in Nutrient Film Technique(NFT) and Deep Flow Technique(DFT) systems, and also the temperatures of root media measured in aggregate culture systems , The temperature of nutrient solution of NFT system with as low as 3$\ell$/min of flow rate was 3$^{\circ}C$ higher than that with 5 $\ell$/min of flow rate in the daytime, and the temperature of inside air was 2$^{\circ}C$ higher at night. And the temperature of nutrient solution of DFT system with as low as 0.8 cm of water level was 1-2$^{\circ}C$ higher than that with 1 8 cm in the daytime, and the temperature of inside air was almost same at night. The root-zone temperatures in the perlite and rockwool granulate systems with film mulching were 3$^{\circ}C$ higher than those without film mulching in the daytime. However, the rockwool slab system with film mulching showed the same trend as rockwool granulate system, but relatively higher temperature than any other medium because of the exposure of media surface to the ambient air. Additionally the temperature below the plant was measured 3$^{\circ}C$ lower than that between plants.

This research has conducted historical data analysis and on-site investigation on Chungam Pavilion and Seokchun Valley in Bonghwa. Based on the results, the original planting form was identified, and the vegetation management were drawn up. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First of all, The Book of Seokchun states that there used to be forest trees such as pine tree, saw-leaf zelkova and maple tree, and flowering trees such as peony, royal azalea, rose, chrysanthemum, and lotus, planted around Chungamjeong. Around Seokchunjeongsa, there used to be boxwood, bamboo, maple, peach, gooseberry and peony planted in the area. Through this discovery it can be realized that the vicinity of Chungam Pavilion and Seokchunjeongsa provided not only the grand aesthetics of four clear seasons, but also planting landscapes with various symbolistic significance and meanings. The description of the planting situation in the historical records offers a useful reference for future vegetation management in Chungam Pavilion, Seokchunjeongsa and surrounding valleys. Furthermore, it holds critical value in the identification of planting pattern in late Chosun dynasty. Second, the planting landscape in and around Chungam Pavilion and Seokchunjeongsa will have to be maintained as described in the historical records The Book of Seokchun. Also, the once famous colony of pine trees in the area is gradually reducing in its scale, which calls for active management measures such as elimination of broadleaf trees.

Two kinds of $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (type A and type B) single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method using iodine as a transport agent. The single crystals were crystallized into a monoclinic structure. The optical energy band gaps were found to 3.375 eV for the $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (type A) single crystal and 3.365 eV fir the $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (type B) single crystal at 13K. When the $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (type A and type B) single crystals were excited by the 325 nm-line of a Cd-He laser, Photoluminescence spectra of the $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (type A) single crystal exhibited blue emission band peaked at 444 nm and green and red emission bands peaked at 518 nm and 690 nm. Pgitikynubescebce soectra if the $Ga_2S_3:Er$ (typeB) single crystal showed green and red emission bands peaked at 513 nm and 695 nm. Sharp emission peaks in the two kinds if $Ga_2S_3:Er$ single crystal were observed near 525 nm, 553 nm, 664 nm, 812 nm, 986 nm, and 1540 nm and analysed as originating from the electron transitions between the energy levels of $Er^{3+}$ ion.
