본 연구는 저소성 실트의 비배수 전단거동특성을 파악하기 위해서 낙동강 중류에서 채취한 저소성 실트를 이용하여 비배수 삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과 축차응력은 항복응력에 도달한 후 사질토의 거동인 경화현상이 나타났으며, 간극수압은 최대값 이후 감소하여 한계상태에 도달하였다. 유효응력경로에서는 압밀응력이나 과압밀비에 상관없이 사질토와 같이 한계상태선(CSL)과 상태전이선(PTL)이 존재하였다. 저소성 실트 거동에 대해 Modified Cam-Clay(MCC) 모델과 동적인공신경망 모델인 Jordan과 Elman-Jordan 모델을 적용하여 예측을 실시하였다. 예측결과, MCC model은 저소성 실트의 전반적인 거동을 예측할 수 없었으나, Jordan과 Elman-Jordan 모델은 모두 저소성 실트의 거동을 비교적 잘 예측하였다.

연약점토지반에 도로, 대규모 단지조성공사에 따른 지지력의 부족과 과대한 침하량으로 인하여 여러 가지 어려운 문제가 발생하며 최종 침하량 및 침하시간의 정확한 예측은 지반개량공법의 선정은 물론 사업비, 사업기간에 중대한 영향을 미치게 된다. 현재 사용되고 있는 침하량 예측기법으로는 Terzaghi의 압밀이론을 응용한 Asaoka법과 경험식인 Hyperbolic법, Hoshino법 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들에 의하여 예측된 침하량과 실제 침하량이 정확히 일치하지 않는 경향이 있다고 알려지고 있다. 게다가 이런 방법 등은 계측결과가 없는 설계단계에서는 사용할 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 단지조성공사에서의 데이터와 다양한 테스트 결과값를 이용하여 성토시 침하를 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위해 인공신경망 기법인 Jordan 모델과 Elman-Jordan 모델을 적용하여 가장 적합한 모델구조를 얻고자 하였다. 개선된 인공신경망 모델에 의한 예측치를 실측치와 비교하였고, 결과값에 의하면 Jordan 모델이 Elman-Jordan 모델보다 실측치와 잘 일치하고 콘관입 저항을 이용한 예측치가 표준관입시험을 이용한 결과치보다 실제에 더 가깝다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 더 많은 현장실험 데이터가 확보된다면 콘관입시험을 이용한 순환형 인공신경망 기법이 침하량 예측에 있어 가장 효과적인 방법이 될 것이라 사료된다.

Concrete can lose its alkalinity by concrete carbonation causing steel corrosion. Thus, the determination of the carbonation depth is necessary. An empirical model is proposed in this research to predict the carbonation depth of concrete using Gene expression programming (GEP). The GEP model was trained and validated using a large and reliable database collected from the literature. The model was developed using the six parameters that predominantly control the carbonation depth of concrete including carbon dioxide CO2 concentration, relative humidity, water-to-cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, aggregate to binder ratio and carbonation period. The model was statistically evaluated and then compared to the Jiang et al. model. A parametric study was finally performed to check the proposed GEP model's sensitivity to the selected input parameters.

Recent technological advancements have had a substantial impact on consumer buying behavior. This research aims to determine the factors affecting consumer behavior related to the adoption of self-service technologies (SSTs). The intended findings of this study are expected to contribute to understanding consumer behavior towards the adoption of SSTs taking into account the logic of two main theories in this regard: the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the assumptions of the Behavioral Perspective Model (BPM). This research follows a triangulation approach. Consequently, a number of semi structured interviews were conducted with experts and executive directors from selected SSTs providers in Jordan. In addition, the convenience sampling technique was employed focusing on current (or) previous users of SSTs in the public and private sectors in Jordan using a self-administrative questionnaire (66% response rate). The results confirmed the influence (direct and indirect) of previous experience and personal initiatives and characteristics on consumer intention to use SSTs. In addition, the results indicated the important role of the mediator variables namely: perceived ease of use (EOU), perceived risk (PR), and perceived usefulness (PU) on consumer attitude towards SSTs which in turn will positively affect consumer intention to use SSTs.

산업발전과 기술의 대형화. 고도화 등으로 인하여 매년 방대한 양리 정보가 처리되고 있다 정보화를 이루기 위해서는 대부분 종이로 기록뇌어 내려오던 정보를 컴퓨터에 저장하여 적기적소에 사용할 수 있어야 한다. 문자인식을 위한 신경망의 학습에 있어서 출력 값을 재사용하는 신경망모델로는 순환신경망이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들의 대부분은 오프라인 필기체문자와 같은 정적인 패턴의 분류에 있어서는 효과적으로 적락되지 않는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 오프라인 필기체문자와 같은 정적인 패턴을 효과적으로 분류하기 위한 새로운 형태의 순환신경망을 제안한다. 본 논문은 Jordan과 Elman Model을 확장 결합한 새로운 J-도(Jordan-Elman) 신경망 모델을 사용하여 숫자 및 필기체 문자와 같은 정적인 패턴의 인식에서 기존의 신경망보다 성능이 향상되었음을 보여준다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of fiscal policy instruments on economic growth in Jordan using annual data from 1970 to 2019, by applying the VAR model (Vector Auto regression) and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The study also examines the dynamic relationship among economic variables over time using the Granger casualty test, Impulse Response Function, and Variance Decomposition. The results show that not only the public expenditures have a positive effect on economic growth in Jordan, but also the tax revenues positively affect the economic growth in the short-run, and this is because of using the tax revenues to finance the government activities in Jordan. This effect becomes negative in the long run, and this is explained because the tax seems a source of distortions in the economy, The extreme taxes may cause huge distortions in the economy, and these distortions destroys the purchasing power, the aggregate demand, and supply. More governmental dependence on tax revenues is the main source of tax evasion and less efficiency. The effect of taxation will curb any prosperity in the economy. Therefore, the government should estimate the fair tax rates to generate sufficient revenues to finance the public expenditure required to enhance economic prosperity.

This study examines the impact of mergers on the financial performance of the Jordanian public shareholding companies. The study employs data collected for a sample of 10 Jordanian non-financial public firms that were engaged in legal horizontal merger deals between 2000 and 2013. The data was collected from the published annual financial reports of the merging companies and comparative companies for three years before the merger and three years after the merger. Event study methodology was applied to examine the data. Four measures of financial performance (FP) were used, which are return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), and net profit margin (NPM). Two methods were used in the analysis - the change model and the intercept model using financial performance raw data and industry-adjusted data. The findings in general showed no significant impact of mergers on the financial performance of merging firms using the change model. However, by using the intercept model, significant impact of mergers on the financial performance was found on the sample of the study. The significant impact was found for mergers on the raw ROE of the merging firms, and on the ROA and NPM of the industry-adjusted firms.

Purpose - The paper tested the relationship between the stock markets of the Middle East and the USA with the oil price and US dollar index as threshold variables. Research design, data, and methodology - The stock price indices of the USA, the Middle East (Abu Dhabi, Jordan), WTI spot crude oil price, and US dollar index were daily returns in the research period from May 21, 2001 to August 9, 2012. Following Hansen (1999), the panel threshold regression model was used. Results - With the US dollar index as the threshold variable, a negative relationship existed between the stock price indices of Jordan and the USA but no significant result was found between the stock price indices of Abu Dhabi and the USA. Conclusions - The USA is an economic power today:even if it has a closer relationship with the US stock market, the dynamic US economy can learn about subsequent developments and plan in advance. Conversely, if it has an estranged relationship with the US stock market, thinking in a different direction and different investment strategies will achieve good results.

This research examines the impact of audit quality on the extent to which firm-specific information is integrated with a firm's share price - which is determined inversely using stock price synchronicity. The study sample consists of non-financial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange i.e., the Jordanian Stock Market, from 2014-2018. After examining 810 firm-year observations from Jordanian industrial companies listed on the ASE, during the study period, we find that the companies using one of the BIG4 audit firms for auditing have less synchronous and more informative stock prices, suggesting high-quality audit improved governance and reduce information asymmetry between firms' insiders and investors which enhances the capitalization of firm's specific information into the stock price, thus less synchronous and more informative stock return. The findings remain consistent over 2 separate measurements of stock price synchronicity (Market and Industry model and Market Model) and show robustness for fixed effect tests. Our multivariate regression results are also robust after controlling for a number of features at the firm level with potential associations with stock price synchronicity. These include the firm size, leverage, return on assets (ROA), and market to book value (MBV).
