최근 컴퓨터와 인터넷 등 정보전달매체가 급속하게 발달하고 자본이동의 자유화가 확대되면서 세계 금융시장의 상호 연관성이 높아짐에 따라 국제 주식시장 사이에 나타나는 상관관계 및 이전효과에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 중동지역에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 터키, 이집트 등 중동지역의 신흥 주식시장과 미국, 일본, 독일 등의 선진 주식시장 사이에 나타나는 정보전달 효과에 대한 실증분석을 시도하였다. 여기에서는 GARCH 모형을 사용하는 기존 연구와는 달리 소파동(wavelet) 분석기법을 이용하였다. 분석결과에 의하면, 주식 수익률 뿐만 아니라 변동성에 대해서도 선진 주식시장으로부터 중동지역 주식시장으로의 이전효과가 나타났으나 이집트에 대한 수익률 이전효과는 매우 약한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 터키와 이집트 주식시장 사이의 관계를 살펴 본 결과, 두 나라가 비슷한 장기 추세를 보이기는 하지만 서로에 대해 이전효과를 갖지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

Xylose isomerase (XI; E.C. 5.3.1.5) catalyzes the isomerization of xylose to xylulose, which can be used to produce bioethanol through fermentation. Therefore, XI has recently gained attention as a key catalyst in the bioenergy industry. Here, we identified, purified, and characterized a XI (PbXI) from the psychrophilic soil microorganism, Paenibacillus sp. R4. Surprisingly, activity assay results showed that PbXI is not a cold-active enzyme, but displays optimal activity at $60^{\circ}C$. We solved the crystal structure of PbXI at $1.94-{\AA}$ resolution to investigate the origin of its thermostability. The PbXI structure shows a $({\beta}/{\alpha})_8$-barrel fold with tight tetrameric interactions and it has three divalent metal ions (CaI, CaII, and CaIII). Two metal ions (CaI and CaII) located in the active site are known to be involved in the enzymatic reaction. The third metal ion (CaIII), located near the ${\beta}4-{\alpha}6$ loop region, was newly identified and is thought to be important for the stability of PbXI. Compared with previously determined thermostable and mesophilic XI structures, the ${\beta}1-{\alpha}2$ loop structures near the substrate binding pocket of PbXI were remarkably different. Site-directed mutagenesis studies suggested that the flexible ${\beta}1-{\alpha}2$ loop region is essential for PbXI activity. Our findings provide valuable insights that can be applied in protein engineering to generate low-temperature purpose-specific XI enzymes.

Drought is the recurrent natural disasters which harshly affect agricultural production and society in various parts in Bangladesh. Information on the spatiotemporal variability of drought events plays a vital role to take necessary action towards drought mitigation and sustainable development. This study aims to analyze the spatial and temporal variation of meteorological drought in Bangladesh during 1981-2015 using Effective Drought Index (EDI). Monthly precipitation data for 36 years (1980-2015) were obtained from 27 meteorological stations. Drought frequency (DF) and areal extent of drought were considered to investigate the spatiotemporal structure of drought. The DF analysis showed that the northern, southwestern and central regions of the country are comparatively vulnerable to meteorological drought. The frequency of drought in all categories has considerably increased during the recent five years from 2011 to 2015. Furthermore, the most significant increasing trend of the drought-affected area was found over the central region especially for pre-monsoon (March-May) season during this period while the decreasing trend of the affected area was found within the eastern region during the study period. To prevent and mitigate the damages of drought disasters in Bangladesh, agricultural and government managers should pay more attention to those regional drought events that occur in pre-monsoon season. The outcome of the present study can be used as explanatory data in building the strategies to drought monitoring and mitigation activities in Bangladesh.

How should we conceptualize regions? What is the context in which new approaches to regional study take place? What is the role of historical change in the reconceptualization of regions or areas? This article addresses this issue by using two case studies to shed light on the history of regional study by comparing some of the ways in which the Middle East and Southeast Asia have been conceptualized. Accordingly, the discussion traces the ways in which these areas were understood in the 19th century by highlighting the ideas of a number of influential Victorian thinkers. The Victorians are useful because not only did British thinkers play critical roles in the shaping of modern patterns of knowledge, but their empire was global in scope, encompassing parts of both Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, the Victorians regarded these places quite differently: Southeast Asia was frequently described as "Further India" and the Middle East was the home of the Ottoman Empire. Both of these places were at least partly understood in relation to the needs of British policy-makers, who tended to focus most of their efforts according to the needs of India-which was their most important colonial possession. The article exhibits the connections between the "Eastern Question" and end of the Ottoman Empire (and the political developments which followed) led to the creation of the concept of "Middle East". With respect to Southeast Asia, attention will be devoted to the works of Alfred Russell Wallace, Hugh Clifford, and others to see how "further India" was understood in the 19th century. In addition, it is clear that the successful deployment of the term "Southeast Asia" reflected the political needs of policy makers in wake of decolonization and the Cold War. Finally, by showing the constructive nature of regions, the article suggests one possible new path for students of Southeast Asia. If the characterization of the region is marked by arbitrary factors, it may actually point to a useful avenue of enquiry, a hermeneutic of expedience. Emphasis on the adaptive and integrative features of lived realities in Southeast Asia may well be a step beyond both the agendas of "colonial knowledge" and anti-colonial nationalism.

Infrared radiation (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nm to 1 mm. Any object with a temperature above absolute zero (0 K) radiates in the infrared region, and a material that transmits radiant energy in the range of 0.74 to 1.4 um is referred to as a near-infrared optical material. Germanate-based glass is attracting attention as a glass material for infrared optical lenses because of its simple manufacturing process. With the recent development of the glass molding press (GMP) process, thermal imaging cameras using oxide-based infrared lenses can be easily mass-produced, expanding their uses. To improve the mechanical and optical properties of commercial materials consisting of ternary systems, germanate-based heavy metal oxide glasses were prepared using a melt-cooling method. The fabricated samples were evaluated for thermal, structural, and optical properties using DSC, XRD, and XRF, respectively. To derive a composition with high glass stability for lens applications, ZnO and Sb₂O₃ were substituted at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mol%. The glass with 1 mol% added Sb₂O₃ was confirmed to have the optimal conditions, with an optical transmittance of 80 % or more, a glass transition temperature of 660 ℃, a refractive index of 1.810, and a Vickers hardness of 558. The possibility of its application as an alternative infrared lens material to existing commercial materials capable of GMP processing was confirmed.

본 논문에서는 최근 광고효과 및 소비자 반응 측정 연구에 활발히 사용되고 있는 안구운동추적기법(Eye-movement tracking)을 이용하여, 광고 모델의 위치 및 시선 방향(정면/측면_그림정보/측면_언어정보)이 광고 태도 및 제품 구매 욕구, 브랜드 재인에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 지면 광고들 중 모델의 비중이 비교적 높으며, 간접적 설득 경로의 중요성이 비교적 크게 평가되는 화장품 지면 광고를 이용하여 20대 성인 남녀 36명에게 실험을 진행한 결과, 기존의 연구들에서 확인한 바와 같이 모델의 시선이 향하고 있는 광고 내 특정 요소(제품사진, 브랜드 등)에 대한 응시 시간(Fixation duration)이 길어지고 해당 영역에의 진입 시간(Entry time)이 빨라진다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 모델의 시선에 의한 주의 유도 효과가 광고태도 및 제품 구매 욕구에 바로 반영되지는 않았다. 모델이 좌측에 있는 경우에는 시선의 방향이정면일 때 제품 구매 욕구가 가장 높았으며, 모델이 우측에 있을 때는 측면_그림정보(제품사진) 에 시선이 향할 때 광고 태도가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 안구운동 추적실험 이후 추가적으로 진행한 브랜드 재인 실험 결과에서는 모델의 시선이 제품 사진을 향하고 있을 때 브랜드재인도가 높게 측정되었으며, 모델이 왼쪽에 있을 때 유효하였다. 이상의 결과는 모델의 시선이고객의 주의를 특정한 영역으로 이끄는 주의 유도자(attentional guidance)로서의 역할을 수행하지만, 모델의 위치 및 시선이 머무는 대상에 따라서 그 효과의 방향성과 크기는 달라질 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 따라서 궁극적으로 고객의 광고 태도 및 제품 구매 욕구를 향상시키기 위해서는 모델의 시선 방향 이외에도 모델의 위치 및 추가 구성 요인들에 대한 복합적인 고려가 필요할 것이다.

In this study, a topological design sensitivity of the ai. bearing surface (ABS) is suggested by using an adjoint variable method. The discrete form of the generalized lubrication equation based on a control volume formulation is used as a compatible condition. A residual function of the slider is considered as an equality constraint function, which represents the slider in equilibrium. The slider thickness parameters at all grid cells are chosen as design variables since they are the topological parameters determining the ABS shape. Then, a complicated adjoint variable equation is formulated to directly handle the highly nonlinear and asymmetric coefficient matrix and vector in the discrete system equation of air-lubricated slider bearings. An alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme is utilized for the numerical calculation. This is an efficient iterative solver to solve large-scale problem in special band storage. Then, a computer program is developed and applied to a slider model of a sophisticated shape. The simulation results of design sensitivity analysis (DSA) are directly compared with those of FDM at the randomly selected grid cells to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The overall distribution of DSA results are reported, clearly showing the region on the ABS where special attention should be given during the manufacturing process.

The rapid growth in communication technology has led to the development of effective ways of sharing ideas and information in the form of speech and images. Understanding this information has become an important research issue and drawn the attention of many researchers. Text in a digital image contains much important information regarding the scene. Detecting and extracting this text is a difficult task and has many challenging issues. The main challenges in extracting text from natural scene images are the variation in the font size, alignment of text, font colors, illumination changes, and reflections in the images. In this paper, we propose a connected component based method to automatically detect the text region in natural images. Since text regions in mages contain mostly repetitions of vertical strokes, we try to find a pattern of closely packed vertical edges. Once the group of edges is found, the neighboring vertical edges are connected to each other. Connected regions whose geometric features lie outside of the valid specifications are considered as outliers and eliminated. The proposed method is more effective than the existing methods for slanted or curved characters. The experimental results are given for the validation of our approach.
