The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ECFA impacted the efficiency of banks in China and Taiwan from 2008 to 2017. This study follows Seiford and Zhu (2002), who recommend using the standard data envelopment analysis model to measure performance by increasing the desirable outputs and decreasing the undesirables. The finding was that overall technical efficiency increased from 2012 to 2017, reaching 0.575, 0.652, 0617, 0.689, 0.701 and 0.74, respectively. This result implies bank efficiency did indeed improve after China and Taiwan signed the ECFA cooperation agreement. The study found that the mean technical efficiency was 0.8756 in China, greater than Taiwan's mean of 0.3511, implying that Chinese banks experienced a greater increase in efficiency after signing the EFCA. One possible reason explored in this study is that China's economy is currently growing at the highest rate in the world, and the banks' efficiency has benefited from greater economic growth. This suggests that cross-strait sustained negotiations to consummate an agreement on trade in the services will be a very important mission in the future. This result also provides significant evidence suggesting that not accounting for undesirable output while estimating the evolution of the model may seriously distort efficiency results.

The administration of Korean local governments in charge of natural disaster management and manmade disaster management has been completely or partially integrated to the fire fighting headquarters since 1990's. Therefore the relationship between the fire fighters and the regular officers has been more important. So in this study, I made a questionnaire about management ability, rescue activities, disaster, business efficiency of the disaster management organization. And then I did a question research to the comparison analysis of recognition between fire fighter and regular officers of Seoul disaster management organization. As a result of the comparative analysis of understanding, there is a meaningful difference among facilities of management ability, man-made disaster of disaster, business cooperation and business connection of business efficiency. Through the comparison analysis of recognition, I tried to present the improvement of Seoul disaster management organization.

Nowadays, the inverter for CCFL(Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) driver is needed as form of compact size, low loss and high efficiency. This paper deals with comparison of characteristics of the electromagnetic push-pull type inverter and the piezoelectric half-bridge inverter for a CCFL driver. From the experimental results, the piezoelectric inverter is proven as more efficient than conventional electromagnetic inverter.

Credit Guarantee scheme is one of the most effective tools for the small business policy. The performance analysis on domestic institution level is relevant in terms of various factors of assisting tools factor. This study measured comparative global efficiency by DEA model and Super-efficiency model among 70 credit guarantee institutions in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea who are operating the schemes. At the result of the analysis, Korean credit guarantee institutions are comparatively efficient than Japanese institutions, and the DMU shows moderate in operation efficiency. The Super-efficiency ranked by Hiroshima, Taiwan SMEG, Pusan, Chiba, Shizuoka, Ulsan, and KOTEC. Most of the Credit Guarantee Institutions showed increasing returns to scale, and it indicates increasing input strategy. The statistical difference of efficiency level in Japan and Korea shows very meaning numbers. This research suggest that (1)Periodical Analysis are needed on Japanese Schemes, (2)The analysis on the impact of credit guarantee scale to the national economy and SME policy, (3) Analysis on the conclusive factors of the efficiency, (4)The policy direction has to be made by inefficient factor analysis, (5) The measurement tools of efficiency of the schemes in various aspects.

To improve stability and transfection efficiency, a novel combination of cationic emulsion and galactosylated chitosan was developed for targeted gene delivery. Six formulations of cationic liposome and our novel emulsion were prepared for comparison of stability and transfection efficiency. Cationic liposomes composed of 3［N-(N.N dimethylaminoethylene) carbamoyl］ cholesterol (DC-Chol) and dioleyl phophatidyl ethanolamine (DOPE) were prepared by extrusion method and cationic emulsions composed of DC-Chol. DOPE. castor oil, and Tween 80 were prepared by sonication method. (omitted)

In an effort to make a right choice among ratio estimation strategies and PPS sampling strategies, we conduct an empirical investigation of the relative performances of three ratio estimation strategies and four PPS estimation strategies using a set of 12 natural populations. The quality of a strategy is measured in the traditional way, namely with the consideration of efficiency, achieved coverage rate of the nominal 99% confidence interval and approach to normality (asymmetry).

This paper compares three kinds of soft-switching circuits from viewpoints of surge suppression, load characteristic, and power efficiency for a tapped-inductor buck converter with low voltage and high current. As a result, these soft-switching techniques have achieved much higher efficiency of 80 % when compared with a hard-switching buck converter for the output condition of 1V and 20A.

This paper examines the relationship between IT investment and the improvement of efficiency from the perspective of organizational contingency by the type of organizations and their maturity in IT use in terms of their history of e-commerce use. Organizations are divided into private and public in nature, and into experienced and inexperienced in e-commerce. An analysis was performed on data from 286 organizations in tourism industry. Comparison among the four groups showed differences in competitive and operational efficiency.

This paper proposes the efficiency improvement method of vvcf-induction motor drives, which operates always at rated speed, regardless of load conditions, with counter emf estimation. The counter emf is estimated by detecting the fundamental component of motor input current, which is employed in speed control algorithm through the comparison with the actual counter emf during the nonconduction interval. The input power reduction by speed control is confirmed through simulations and experimental results.

The \gamma-ray spectrometer of the PGAA (Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis) facility constructed at HANARO of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute was upgraded to the multi-mode spectrometer including the single mode, the Compton suppression mode and the pair mode. The performance of the spectrometer was tested and summarized. The background count rate and the uncertainty of the detection efficiency were reduced greatly in comparison with those before the new installation.
