This study was to examine the effect of the environmental characteristics on overall quality of employee and food service in Korean foodservice firms. The four factors of the environmental characteristics of Korean foodservice firms consist of service, atmosphere, food & beverage, and event. To analyze the data collected from 414 respondents, the several statistical methods were used including frequency and descriptive analysis, factor analysis, reliability test, and multiple regression analysis. The empirical results are as follows: First, the employee service factor has a significantly positive effect on overall employee service quality. Second, the food & beverage factor has a significantly positive effect on overall employee service quality. Third, the food & beverage factor has a significantly positive effect on overall food & beverage service quality. Fourth, the event factor has a significantly positive effect on overall food & beverage service quality Managerial implications can be drawn from the present data. First, Korean restaurant managers can identify which factors of environmental characteristics influence customers' attitudes and evaluations in service encounter. Second, Korean restaurant managers can use the environmental characteristics as differentiation strategy, and allocate their resources into the activities of marketing strategy.

As knowledge is paid attention as a new production factor that generates added value, studies continue to apply knowledge management to business environment. In addition, as ICT (Information Communication Technology) was engrafted in business environment, it leads to increasing task efficiency and productivity of individual workers. Accordingly, the way that a business achieves its goal has changed to one in which its individual members are willing to take part in the organization and share information to create new values (Han, 2003) and studies for the system and service to support such transition are carrying out. Of late, a new concept called 'Enterprise 2.0' newly appears. It is the extension of Wen 2.0 and its technology, which focus on participation, sharing and openness, to the work environment of a business (Jung, 2013). Enterprise 2.0 is being used as a collaborative tool to prop up individual creativity and group brain power by combining Web 2.0 technologies such as blog, Wiki, RSS and tag with business software (McAfee, 2006). As Tweeter gets popular, Enterprise Microblog (EMB), which is an example of Enterprise 2.0 for business, has been developed as equivalent to Tweeter in business circle and SaaS (Software as a Service) such as Yammer was introduced The studies of EMB mainly focus on demonstrating its usability in terms of intra-firm communication and knowledge management. However existing studies lean too much towards large-sized companies and certain departments, rather than a company as a whole. Therefore, few studies have been conducted on small and medium-sized companies that have difficulty preparing separate resources and supplying exclusive workforce to introduce knowledge management. In this respect, the present study placed its analytic focus on small-sized companies actually equipped with EMB to know how they use it. And, based on the findings, this study examined their knowledge management strategies for EMB from the point of codification and personalization. Hypothesis -"as a company grows, it shifts EMB strategy from codification to personalization'- was established on the basis of reviewing precedent studies and literature. To demonstrate the hypothesis, this study analyzed the usage of EMB by small companies that have used it from foundation. For case study, the duration of the use was divided into 2 spans and longitudinal analysis was employed to examine the contents of the blogs. Using the key findings of the analysis, this study is aimed to propose practical implications for the operation of knowledge management of small-sized company and the suitable application of knowledge management system for operation Knowledge Management Strategy can be classified by codification strategy and personalization strategy (Hansen et. al., 1999), and how to manage the two strategies were always studied. Also, current studies regarding the knowledge management strategy were targeted mostly for major companies, resulting in lack of studies in how it can be applied on SMEs. This research, with the knowledge management strategy suited for SMEs, sets an Enterprise Microblog (EMB), and with the EMB applied on SMEs' Knowledge Management Strategy, it is reviewed on the perspective of SMEs' Codification and Personalization Strategies. Through the advanced research regarding Knowledge Management Strategy and EMB, the hypothesis is set that "Depending on the development of the company, the main application of EMB alters from Codification Strategy to Personalization Strategy". To check the hypothesis, SME that have used the EMB called 'Yammer' was analyzed from the date of their foundation until today. The case study has implemented longitudinal analysis which divides the period when the EMBs were used into three stages and analyzes the contents. As the result of the study, this suggests a substantial implication regarding the application of Knowledge Management Strategy and its Knowledge Management System that is suitable for SME.

With the growing importance of technology innovation as a key factor for firms' competitive advantage, 'innovation persistence' became also an important research subject. 'Innovation Persistence' is a concept that indicates whether or not firms' innovation activity or performance continues. However, the data used for innovation studies are carried out as cross-sectional surveys in most countries. For this reason, studies dealing with longitudinal aspect of innovation persistence are rare. In particular, there is almost no research on innovation persistence using Korean innovation survey data. This study reviews the concepts and characteristics of innovation persistence based on extant literature, and perform an empirical analysis on the status and features of Korean firms' technology innovation persistence. Based on the data of the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) conducted every other year from 2012 to 2018, panel data on 3,379 firms which observed multiple times are constructed. As a result, only part of the firms with persistent innovation were observed (for innovation performance 10~12%, for innovation activity 15~17%), and it was found that the persistence of non-innovation was remarkable(about 52~57%). And it was confirmed that the persistence of innovation activities is stronger than that of innovation performance. Besides, some features by sub-types of innovation appeared. Product innovation showed higher persistence than process innovation, and internal R&D also showed higher persistence than joint/external R&D. As a result of additional logit analysis to identify factors, it was found that radical or gradual product innovation is the most influential factor in persisting innovation in the next period. Since the sample selection bias due to a limitations of raw data might exist in the panel data constructed in this study, it should be noted that faulty generalization of the results are not allowed. Nevertheless, this is the first study to examine the technology innovation persistence targeting Korean firms and is expected to be a starting point for follow-up studies. It is anticipated that advanced research results will be drawn through the establishment of official panel data and improved methodologies.

Even though numerous studies on the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWSs) and organizational performance have been conducted over the past three decades, empirical evidence is still lacking in the aspects of context and performance. Thus, this study aims to investigate how HPWSs influence organizational performance, especially innovation performance as a key factor to increase the organization's sustainability. In addition, this study examines how human competency and customer service competency as crucial conditions to facilitate organizational innovation moderate the relationship between HPWSs and organizational performance. To examine these hypotheses, this study used Human Corporate Capital Panel datasets. The results of longitudinal analyses show that HPWSs positively affected organizational performance, and the two competencies strengthened the positive main effect, as we expected. In the discussion parts, this study suggests implications and limitations.

The architecture and the implementation details of a UTMI(USB2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) compatible USB2.0 transceiver chip were presented. To confirm the validation of the incoming data in noisy channel environment, a squelch state detector and a current mode Schmitt-trigger circuit were proposed. A current mode output driver to transmit 480Mbps data on the USB cable was designed and an on-die termination(ODT) which is controlled by a replica bias circuit was presented. In the USB system using plesiochronous clocking, to compensate for the frequency difference between a transmitter and a receiver, a synchronizer using clock data recovery circuit and FIFO was designed. The USB cable was modeled as the lossy transmission line model(W model) for circuit simulation by using a network analyzer measurements. The USB2.0 PHY chip was implemented by using 0.25um CMOS process and test results were presented. The core area excluding the IO pads was $0.91{\times}1.82mm^2$. The power consumptions at the supply voltage of 2.5V were 245mW and 150mW for high-speed and full-speed operations, respectively.

Forest road (10 Km) constructed for the demonstrational purpose by Forest Work Training Center (F.T.C.) in 1984 was partly damaged through the roadside landside and ditch erosion by the typhoon in 1986. The causes were investigated to apply for protecting against the damage of mountain forest road. The damaging length caused by roadside landside is around 3% out of total length of 10 Km forest road, and mostly coming from the curve road filled up more than 10 m slope length on the concave mountain slope, partly from the foot of fillslope along the ever-following valley and from the both side of fillslope under the outlet of culvert with ever-flowing water. In case of ditch erosion, the big damage at V-type ditch is coming from the overflow of valley water flowing down along the inside slope. Other problem is also showing in the steepness of longitudial gradient, which is felt as a problem in road to be constructed under more than 10 persent of gradient. Other cause of ditch erosion is coming from the bury of sand basin (water collecting wall) by the debris in small diameter culvert zone, namely less than 400mm, in diameter and by the soil mass slumped down from steep wall slope. From above results the causes of F.T.C. model road damage is showing to come from no-following the general guide or little experience to protect against the forest road damage. When improved above mentioned mistakes, F.T.C. Method of mountain forest road type could be developed as a model of Mountain forest road.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of the road alignment, correlations among evaluation factors of the alingment, and the relationships between the evaluation factors and terrain factors for the forest road of five National Forest Offices. The results were as follows : 1. The elongation coefficients(${\eta}$) of forest road in Kangnung and Wonju National Forest Office were ranged 0.3~0.5, and those of Andong, Namwon, and Kongju National Forest Offices were ranged 0.2~0.3 in straight line of 100m, 200m, and 300m. 2. Three different types of plane alignment were identified for Kangnung and Wonju National Forest Offices, Namwon and Kongju National Forest Offices, Andong National Forest Office. However, longitudinal alignment for five National Forest Offices tended to be similar conditions. 3. Low correlation coefficients were calculated in the relation between elongation coefficients(${\eta}$) and evaluation factors of plane alignment(curve length ratio(%), sum of inverse number of each curve radius(m/km), and sum of each intersection angle($^{\circ}/km$)) for three straight lines. On the contrary, high correlation coefficients were obtained among the relations of curve length ratio(%), sum of inverse number of each curve radius(m/km), and sum of each intersection angle($^{\circ}/km$). 4. Slope(%) were closely correlated with plane alignment, and so were the relationships between frequency of valleys and streams(No./km) and elongation coefficients(${\eta}$) of forest road.

In an effort to investigate special distribution of glucose content of potato tuber of a cultivar 'Superior' after harvest, a whole tuber was longitudinally cut into halves and cut-surface was divided into 11 regions. Approximate glucose concentration of each section was determined using a commercial blood glucose meter. Higher level of glucose was detected in the outer layers of tissue than inner part of tuber although there were lower coefficients of variation value, 37.4% and 34.1% among individual tubers and among defined sections, respectively. A positive correlation between the whole tuber and individual section was existed in glucose content, where the central pith tissue gave the highest coefficient (r = 0.921) and bud end tissue did the lowest (r = 0.544). Glucose content of the tubers stored for 4 months at $2.0^{\circ}C$ was 5.5 fold higher compared to the tubers kept in ambient temperature. The chip color of the former tubers was much brighter than those of the latter tubers. The result obtained in the present study suggests that the blood glucose meter can be used to a rapid and simple evaluation of glucose content and therein be applied to estimate the processing quality of potato tubers during postharvest handling.

This study investigates the developmental process of Korean postverbal negation in a Korean-English bilingual child. The purposes of this study are firstly to find both common and divergent paths in the development of Korean postverbal negation in terms of both syntactic development and pragmatic uses of postverbal negation; and secondly to investigate explanations for the special pattern of development observed. The data were collected from one bilingual child (R) who is simultaneously acquiring two languages, Korean and English over two years between the ages of 5;00 and 700 (years; months). The data collection was carried out in four periods in two different environments: Periods I and III in Australia, Periods II and IV in Korea. The development of postverbal negation showed that when R was in Australia, she employed both L1 and L2 learning mechanisms, while when she was in Korea, she employed L1 learning mechanisms. The results reveal that L1 and L2 mechanisms are not basically different because R shows both forward and backward developmental features in conjunction with the two different language environments: Korea and Australia.

DNA 컴퓨팅은 분자 수준(molecular level)에서 연산을 수행한다. 따라서 일반적인 실리콘 기반의 컴퓨터에서와는 달리, 순차적인 연산 제어를 보장하기 어렵다는 특징이 있다. 그러나 DNA 컴퓨팅은 화학반응에 기초한 연산이기 때문에, 실험자가 의도한 연산을 많은 수의 분자에 동시에 적용할 수 있으므로 실리콘 기반의 컴퓨터와는 비교할 수 없는 병렬 연산을 구현할 수 있다. 병렬 연산을 구현하고자 할 때, 일반적으로 연산에 사용하는 모든 DNA 분자들을 대상으로 연산을 구현할 수도 있다. 그러나 전체가 아닌 일부의 분자들을 상대로 연산을 수행하는 것 역시 가능하며 이 때 자연스러운 방법으로 사용할 수 있는 방법이 배깅(Bagging)이나 부스팅(Boosting)과 같은 앙상블(ensemble) 계열의 학습 방법이다. 일반적인 부스팅과 달리 가중치를 부여하는 것이 아니라 특정 학습자(learner)를 나타내는 분자들을 증폭한다면 가중치를 분자의 양으로 표현하는 것이 가능하므로 분자 수준에서 앙상블 계열의 학습을 구현하는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 앙상블 계열의 학습 방법 중 특히 부스팅의 효과를 DNA 컴퓨팅에 응용하고자 할 때, 어떤 방법이 가능하며, 표현 과정에서 고려해야 할 사항은 어떠한 것들이 있는지 고려하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 규모를 사전에 한정할 수 없는 진화 가능한 그래프 구조(evolutionary graph structure)를 학습할 수 있는 방법을 찾아보고자 한다. 진화 가능한 그래프 구조는 기존의 DNA 컴퓨팅 방법으로는 학습할 수 없는 문제이다. 그러나 조합 가능한 수를 사전에 정의할 수 없기 때문에 분자의 수에 상관없이 동일한 연산 시간에 문제를 해결할 수 있는 DNA 컴퓨팅의 장정을 가장 잘 발휘할 수 있는 문제이기도 하다.개별 태스크의 특성에 따른 성능 조절과 태스크의 변화에 따른 빠른 반응을 자랑으로 한다. 본 논문에선 TIB 알고리즘을 리눅스 커널에 구현하여 성능을 평가하였고 그 결과 리눅스에서 사용되는 기존 인터벌 기반의 알고리즘들에 비해 좋은 전력 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.과는 한식 외식업체들이 고객들의 재구매 의도를 높이기 위해서는 한식 외식업체의 서비스요인, 식음료요인, 이벤트 요인 등을 강화함으로써 전반적인 종사원 서비스 품질과 식음료품질을 높이는 전략을 취해야 한다는 것을 시사해주고 있다. 본 연구는 대구 경북소재 한식 외식업체만을 대상으로 하여 연구를 실시하여 연구의 일반화와 한식 외식업체를 이용하는 이용 고객들이 한식 외식업체를 재방문하는 재구매 의도가 발생하는데 있어 발생하는 과정을 설명하는 종단적 연구를 실시하지 못한 한계점을 가지고 있다.아직 산업 디자인이 품질경쟁력에 크게 영향을 미치는 성숙단계에 이르지 못하였음을 의미한다.
