  • Purpose - As globalization progresses, complexity also increases, and various factors that threaten port functions are emerging. Accordingly, the demand for port security to prevent the crisis and resilience that quickly recovers its original function after the crisis is also increasing in port operations. However, few studies have examined how to ensure the port security and how the resilience affects operation performance of port and sustainability performance as well. So the study aims to find out how port security affects port resilience and port operational performance, and consequently, this two factors affect socioeconomic and environmental sustainability performance respectively and synthetically. Design/methodology - Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was first performed to determine the validity of the factors of model and hypothesis test was performed using Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the Port Performance Model, which show the perception logic among port security level, port resilience, operation performance, and sustainability performance. In order to empirically analyze this model, total 264 respondents from port security operators, shipping companies in South Korea were surveyed. Findings - As result of SEM, First, port security level positively affected the resilience (H1) and cargo operational performance (H2) but not in both of the sustainability performances (H3, H4). Second, resilience positively affected only cargo operational performance (H5) and socio-economic sustainability performance (H7). Last, cargo operation performance positively affects the both of sustainability performances (H8, H9). Originality/value - It was confirmed that port security could improve cargo operational performance through ensuring port resilience and eventually increase the socio-economic sustainability. Therefore the study implies that careful integration and management of port security, port resilience, and sustainability are required, along with compromise on sustainable development goals in the social, economic, and environmental area among all stakeholders.

  • Advanced sensor design and filtering technology have been studied to obtain information for condition monitoring and diagnostics inmachining processes. To develope and economic monitoring system in end milling processes, indirect and reliable type of cutting force estimators were required. In this paper, an estimation method of cutting forces during end milling processes was studied through the measurement of current signals obtained from spindle and feeddrive motors. Cutting force and torque models were derived from the cutting geometry in down milling processes. Relationships between motor currents and cutting forces were also developed in the form of AC and DC components from the developed force models. The validity of the cutting force estimator was confirmed by the experiments under various cutting conditions.

  • This study performed to identify the relationships among experiential value, brand image, satisfaction and customer loyalty in context of full-service restaurant, and to find the moderating effect of gender on the formulated model. SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 were employed to conduct frequency analysis, reliability analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and multigroup analysis to examine moderating effect. Results confirmed the validity and reliability and found significant relationships among the constructs. First, two factors of experiential value (e.g., aesthetic and economic value) have positive influence on brand image, satisfaction, and brand image was significant predictor of customer satisfaction. Second, satisfaction was significant antecedent of attitudinal loyalty and the attitudinal loyalty has influence on behavioral loyalty. In addition, current study identified moderating effect of gender between playfulness and brand image even though there was on significant relationship between both constructs. These results will be meaningful for developing marketing strategies and successful business especially for full-service restaurants.

  • Systems are often operated by not integration but blocking, i.e., non-standardization. The system blocking is mainly caused by non-standardization or incompatibility. The integrated system is effective, but researches for quantification of effectiveness from Integrating system are few. System blocking causes additional cost which is almost intangible and potential. In this paper we proposed a model to quantify the effectiveness of system integration. To verify the validity of proposed model, we applied the model for Korean information and communication industry and forecasted the cost of integration for South and North Korean telecommunication industry in the way of three scenarios.

  • A simple expected damage cost model is developed and a systematic approach to evaluate the economic effects of seismic hazards to reinforced concrete structures is presented. An expected damage cost function during a specific lifetime is modeled by a Poisson's process with uniform continuous cash flow assumption. It is possible that the proposed method can decouple the damage cost effect from random earthquake events. Thus, expected damage cost function can be formulated as a combination of three independent terms; a present worth factor of Poisson's process, a damage cost interpolation function and a mean occurrence rate of earthquake intensity. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by a comparative study of LCC evaluations with the previous study.
