The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a firm's dynamic capabilities measured by sensing, seizing, transforming, coordinating, and learning capabilities on its competitive capabilities, such as product quality, process flexibility, delivery speed, and low cost. The relationship among dynamic capabilities, competitive capabilities, and export firm performance is set up as a research model based on empirical studies related to the existing dynamic capability perspective and competitive capabilities. To test this research model, this study collected 102 samples of data using a questionnaire survey on both manufacturing and exporting firms. The partial least squares method is used and the following results are derived from an empirical analysis. First, dynamic capabilities have a positive effect on competitive capabilities, such as product quality, process flexibility, delivery speed, and low cost. Second, product quality and process flexibility have a positive effect on export firm performance. Third, unlike previous research results, this study finds that the competitive capabilities of a firm in the areas of delivery speed and low cost do not significantly affect its performance. These findings provide meaningful implications for export venture firms that need to acquire and maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly changing environment.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of voluntary intrathoracic pressure adjustment during the Valsalva maneuver (VM) on changes in prefrontal brain function and cerebral blood flow dynamics using diagnostic ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Sixteen healthy adults performed VM by adjusting their expiratory pressure. Their regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) and oxidized hemoglobin (HbO) levels were measured to confirm changes in prefrontal lobe function. To confirm hemodynamic changes in cerebral blood vessels, this study measured peak systolic velocity (PSV), heart rate (HR), vascular stiffness (STIFF), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the common carotid artery before and after the VM. Results showed significant cerebrovascular physiological changes after 30mmHg VM. In particular, PSV increased significantly following VM, whereas PWV and STIFF significantly decreased. A similar trend was observed in 40mmHg VM to 30mmHg, but no significant change was observed except for HR, which showed a significant decrease. Furthermore, rSO2 tended to increase in the prefrontal region after preforming 30 and 40mmHg VM, but it did not show a significant difference. In contrast, HbO significantly decreased after performing 30 and 40mmHg VM. This trend did not show any difference depending on intrathoracic pressure. In conclusion, VM performance at both intrathoracic pressure levels has the same effect on brain function, but induces difference changes in cerebrovascular vessels' physiological function. Thus, at 40mmHg VM, it interferes with effective vascular relaxation due to high intrathoracic pressure. However, 30mmHg VM has an effective effect on cerebrovascular function by causing a significant increase in the elasticity of arterial blood vessels. Such VM performance can effectively improve cerebrovascular function.

In general the design methods of adaptive filter are divided into two categories, one is based upon the local parameter optimization theory and the other is based upon stability theory. Among the various design techniques, the LMS algorithm by steepest-descent method which is based upon local parameter optimization theory is used widely. In designing the adaptive filter, the most important factor is the convergence rate of the algorithm. In this paper a new algorithm is proposed to improve the convergence rate of adaptive firter compared with the commonly used LMS algorithm. The faster convergence rate is obtained by adjusting the adaptation gain of LMS algorithm. And various aspects of improvement of the adaptive filter characteristics are discussed in detail.

In this paper, a VCO of a general advance warning system for vehicle's speed limitation in the X-band used in Japan is designed using a small signal scattering coefficient of PHEMT. A varactor diode that wide tuning range and series resistance 0 H is used for designing the VCO and -85 dBc/Hz of phase noise at 10 kHz of offset frequency is obtained by adjusting the reflection coefficient between the micro-strip line and the varactor device which determines transistor's operation voltage and resonant frequency, In addition +4.5 dBm of basic frequency signal output level and -25.6 dEc of the second harmonic constraint are acquired. Sample that produce in this paper could confirm that more excellent special quality appears than existing products in sensitivity.

The cause of corrosion failure found in structures or various components operating in severe corrosive environment has been attributed to stress corrosion cracking(SCC) which is resulting from the combined effects of corrosive environments and static tensile stress. Cathodic protection is an electrochemical method of corrosion control that is widely used in marine environment and primarily on carbon steel. A number of criteria are used to determine whether or not a structure is cathodically protected. In practice, -0.8V versus Ag/AgCl is the most commonly used for marine structures. This paper showed the combined effects of cathodic potential and slow, monotonic straining on the tensile ductility and fracture morphology of parents and friction welded joints for SM45C, SCM440 and SM20C steels in syntheic sea water(S.S.W.,pH:8.2). For the parent materials in cathodic potentials, the higher tensile strength is, the more susceptible SCC is. And the welded HAZ is more susceptible than the parent materials.

하천제방 붕괴시 홍수파가 제내지에서 거동하는 양상을 파악하는 것은 홍수피해를 저감하는 데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 실제 제내지에서의 범람형태에 크고, 작은 영향을 미치는 인자들은 제내지 지형 및 구조물과 초기 제내지범람상태, 하도형태, 홍수수문곡선, 제방붕괴시 붕괴면 경사 및 붕괴시간 등 많이 있으나, 본 연구에서는 제방붕괴폭과 붕괴지속시간에 따른 홍수파의 형태, 유속, 수심, 방향 등의 일반적인 법칙성을 찾고자 한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 실험수조의 전체 크기는 가로 30m, 세로 30m이며, 수조 내부에 제내지, 제방, 하도를 제작하였다. 그림 1에서 보는 바와 같이 하도는 폭 5m, 길이 30m이며, 제내지는 폭 28m, 길이 24m이다. 하도와 제내지의 하상은 수평이며, 시멘트 모르타르로 표면을 처리하였다. 제방붕괴 재현장치는 최대붕괴폭 4m, 높이 0.6m가 되도록 하였으며, 하도의 중간지점에 설치하였다. 하도에서의 초기수심은 $h_o$이며, 제내지는 건조상태이다. 제방붕괴장치의 개방속도는 $0{\sim}18cm/sec$범위에서 조정이 가능하다. 실험결과, 제방붕괴폭과 제방붕괴지속시간은 제내지에서의 홍수파 전면(wave-front)의 이동속도와 제내지에서의 시간별 수심변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 제내지에서의 최대수심은 제방붕괴폭과 제방붕괴 지속시간에 의한 영향이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper explores the throughput of DCF protocol with both the traffic intensity and MSDU size at the MAC layer in the 802.11a wireless LAN. By exploring the throughput of DCF protocol with the data rate of 6Mbps, 12 Mbps, 24 Mbps and 54 Mbps, we find the fact that the less the data rate be, the higher the throughput be. We also find, from the throughput calculation by means of traffic intensity and MSDU size, that the longer the MSDU size is, the higher the throughput is. We also found the traffic intensity that the throughput is at the maximum point with the fixed MSDU size.

Effect of Si in the electrochemical corrosion characteristics of Mg-Li-Al light alloy has been investigated by means of potentiodynamic polarization study. The elecrochemical behaviors were evaluated in 003% NaCl solution and the solution buffered with KH$_{2}PO_{5}{\cdot}$NaOH at room temperature. It was found that the addition of very small quantity of Si (0.48 wt%) in Mg-Li-Al light alloy increased corrosion rates and amount of corrosion products and decreated the pitting resistance of the alloy. From the results it was concluded that Si which is added to increase the strength of Mg-Li-Al alloy is harmful to corrosion properties of the alloy.

An adaptive nulling technique is presented to synthetically overcome the integrated problems associated with the conventional LMS array in the performances of jammer rejection, convergence rate, misadjustment, and reference signal generation. The proposed method is to remove the target signal from the array input and to eliminate the reference signal prior to minimization processing. The algorithm is constrained to the residue noise level in adaptive processor. Analysis shows effectiveness of the algorithm for coherent and/or incoherent interference rejection, wide dynamic range of convergence factor, rapid adaptation rate, and small mean square error. Simulation results confirm the theoretical prediction.

Propeller is an important component of Human Powered Aircraft (HPA) propulsion system. HPA uses large diameter low rotational speed propeller to get high propeller efficiency. The propeller was designed by HPA propeller designing program. The propeller pitch is adjustable by rotating the blade axis angle at ground. Performance of the propeller for various parameters are analysed by the same program used for design. Off-design condition performance was also checked including pilot power change and flight speed change. The propeller was manufactured in ultra-light structure using carbon composite material down to 950g. The propeller was ground tested on ironbird and installed on KARI HPA. Finally the HPA flew 291m with this propeller.
