목 적：본 연구에서는 K-ABC와 K-LDES가 학습장애나 학습문제를 보이는 아동들의 인지적 결함과 학습문제를 평가하고 학습장애를 진단하는데 있어 얼마나 타당하고 유용한지를 알아보았다. 방 법：서울대학교병원 소아정신과에 내원하여 소아정신과 의사와 임상심리전문가에 의해 LD 혹은 학습문제를 수반한 ADHD로 진단 받은 아동 15명(LP 집단), ADHD로 진단 받은 아동 14명과 서울에 위치하는 공립, 사립 초등학교 2개교에 재학 중인 초등학생 15명이 정상집단으로 참여하였다(연령 범위：만 $7{\sim}12$세). 각 아동에게 1대 1로 K-ABC가 실시되었으며, 모가 직접 각 아동들에 대해서 K-LDES를 평정하였다. 결 과：K-ABC의 순차처리, 동시처리, 인지처리과정척도에서 세 집단간의 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 습득도척도에서 통계적으로 유의미하지는 않으나, LP 집단이 ADHD 집단과 정상집단에 비해 경미한 수준에서 낮은 점수를 보였다. 문장해독에서는 LP 집단이 ADHD 집단과 정상집단에 비해 유의미하게 낮은 수행을 보였다. K-LDES에서는 LP 집단이 말하기와 수학을 제외한 모든 하위척도들에서 다른 두 집단에 비해 매우 유의미하게 낮은 수행을 보였다. 또한 K-ABC의 척도들과 K-LDES의 척도들간의 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 결 론：본 연구는 K-ABC와 K-LDES가 학습장애를 평가하고 진단하는데 있어 유용하고 타당한 검사 도구임을 보였다. 그러나 LD에만 특징적인 인지적 결함을 밝히지는 못하였는데, 이는 LD의 피험자 수가 적고 ADHD와의 공존병리가 높은 점과 관련되어 있는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 K-ABC만을 가지고 LD와 ADHD를 구분하는데는 어려움이 많기 때문에, K-LDES를 같이 사용하는 것이 진단의 정확성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

현재 유구낭미충증을 혈청학적으로 진단하는 데에는 낭액항원을 이용한 특이항체검사법으로 micro-ELISA를 널리 이용하고 있다. 이 실험은 효소부착 이차항체를 사용하는 micro-ELISA방법 대신 민감도가 뛰어난 것으로 알려진 ABC-ELISA나 Protein-ELISA로 바꾸어 사용하면 검사의 민감도를 보다 개선할 수 있는지를 알기 위하여 실시하였다. ABC-ELISA에 의한 항체검사는 낭액항원 단백질 $2.5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, 혈청 희석 1:10,000, biotinylated no-hmn IgG 1:100,000 회석, peroxidase conjugated streptavidin 1:40,000 희석 및 2,2-azino-di(3-ethylbenztlllazoline) sulfnnlc acid발색제를 사용하는 조건으로 실시하였고 415 nm에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. Protein A-ELISA는 항원단백질 $2.5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, 혈청은 1:200 회석, HRP-Protein A 1:20,000 희석 및 ABTS 발색제를 사용하는 조건으로 실시하고 415 nm에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 유구낭미충증 환자 115 명의 혈청을 검사한 바 민감도는 micro-ELISA 81.7%, Protein A-ELISA 82.6%, ABC-ELISA 86. 1%이었다. 다른 기생충성 질환자, 비기생충성 질환자 및 대조군 등 165명 혈청에서 특이도는 각각 88.5%, 93.3%, 93.8%이었다 세 가지 ELISA방법에 의한 항체가 사이에는 상관계수 0.84~0.86의 높은 상관관계가 성립하였다. 이상의 결과 ABC-ELISA는 micro-ELISA에 비하여 민감한 혈청학적 방법이고 실제 유구낭미충 특이항체 검사상의 특이도에서도 차이가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 ABC-ELISA는 유구낭미충증의 혈청학적 진단에서 혈청 및 뇌척수액 등 검체를 적게 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A new cost management system, called Activity Based Costing (ABC) system, has arisen to solve the limitation of a Traditional Cost Accounting (TCA) system until last two decades and ABC has been applied by many companies. TCA systems have limitation in tracing cost because they arbitrarily allocate overhead cost to the cost objects without standard for direct cost distribution. ABC is an accounting system that assigns costs to products or services based on the resources they consume. The costs of all activities are traced to the products for which they are performed. Therefore ABC is a cost management system that provides a matrix to accurately quantify consumed resources triggered by activities and activities triggered by products and services. There is little implementation of ABC in the health services field, one of service industries, due to complicated and many activities, and volatile cost object. However, the necessity for applying reasonable cost accounting system is largely issuing as strategy responding hostile environment, and financial pressure, and it is imperative to implement the Activity Based Costing (ABC) system. Therefore, this study presents the framework to develop ABC system for total health service organizations. Cost objects in this study base on medical service activities per health insurance claim from one general hospital located in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Medical service activities include all health insurance claims in the hospital. The purpose of the study is presenting useful tools and basic frame to develop Activity Based Costing system for health service organizations which want to use ABC system. The steps to develop ABC system for health service organizations are following: 1. Identifying of activity centers; 2. Definition of cost objects and activity by activity center; 3. Analysis of activity and tracing activity contribution; 4. Allocation of direct cost for specific activity; 5. Allocation of indirect cost for specific activity; 6. Allocation of depreciation for facilities, applicants, and consumption goods; 7. Allocation of administration cost; 8. Allocation of cost among activity centers; and 9. Tracing cost of cost objects by activity center. This study identified necessary information from existing reports which hospitals generally made by each step, and defined outcome which had to be produced in each step using this information. The steps of this study had limitation to apply all different size hospitals because the steps were structured ABC system by one hospital, however, this study used similar basic framework and methods with general cases. When a health service organization want to apply Activity Based Costing (ABC) system on all activities of it in future days, this study is very useful to design system structure in the health service organization.

In the field of dynamic measurement and structural damage identification, it is generally known that modal frequencies may be measured with higher accuracy than mode shapes. However, the number of natural frequencies within a measurable range is limited. Accessing additional forms of modal frequencies is thus desirable. The present study is concerned about the extraction of artificial boundary condition (ABC) frequencies from modal testing. The ABC frequencies correspond to the natural frequencies of the structure with a perturbed boundary condition, but they can be extracted from processing the frequency response functions (FRF) measured in a specific configuration from the structure in its existing state without the need of actually altering the physical support condition. This paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation into the measurability of the ABC frequencies from physical experiments. It covers the testing procedure through modal testing, the data processing and data analysis requirements, and the FRF matrix operations leading to the extraction of the ABC frequencies. Specific sources of measurement errors and their effects on the accuracy of the extracted ABC frequencies are scrutinised. The extracted ABC frequencies are subsequently applied in the damage identification in beams by means of finite element model updating. Results demonstrate that it is possible to extract the first few ABC frequencies from the modal testing for a variety of artificial boundary conditions incorporating one or two virtual pin supports, and the inclusion of ABC frequencies enables the identification of structural damages without the need to involve the mode shape information.

The self-assembly of asymmetric ABC triblock copolymers in the ordered structure is investigated using an isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulation. Unlike symmetric A BC triblock copolymers, more fascinating mophologies are observed in asymmetric ones because of a larger difference of incompatibility between the components. Various modes of self-assembly in assymmetric ABC triblock copolymers are also observed depending on the block composition. When the composition of block A Is changed from 0.125: to 0.25 at the same $f_B$ : 0.25, the morphological transition from the “cylinder in cylinder” to “cylinders at cylinder” structure is observed in the simulation. In the case of ABC triblocks with $f_B$=0.5, a lamellar-type structure is changed to a cylinder-type structure with increasing the length of block A. When the midblock length increases further to $f_B$=0.625, the “spheres on cylinder” structure is observed in both the $A_{10}$$B_{50}$$C_{20}$ and $A_{20}$$B_{50}$$C_{10}$ triblocks. From these results, the phase diagram of ABC triblock copolymers can be constructed.

The purpose of this preliminary study was to develop a measurement for assessing risk factors for falling in community-dwelling elderly persons. Rasch analysis and principal component analysis were performed to examine whether items on the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC), assessing self-efficacy, and items on the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), assessing balance function, contribute jointly to a unidimensional construct in the elderly. A total of 35 elderly persons (4 men, 31 women) participated. In this study, each item of ABC (16 items) and BBS (14 items) was scored on a 5-point ordinal rating scale from 0 to 4. The initial Rasch and principal component analysis indicated that 3 of the ABC items and 2 of the BBS items were misfit for this study. These 5 items were excluded from further study. After combining ABC and BBS, Rasch and principal component analyses were examined and finally 23 items selected; 12 items from ABC, 11 items from BBS. The 23 combined ABC-BBC items were arranged in order of difficulty. The hardest item was 'walk outside on icy sidewalks' and the easiest item was 'pivot transfer'. Although structural calibration of each 5 rating scale categories was not ordered, the other three essential criteria of Linacre's optimal rating scale were satisfied. Overall, the ABC-BBS showed sound item psychometric properties. Each of the 5 rating scale categories appeared to distinctly identify subjects at different ability levels. The findings of this study support that the new ABC-BBS scale measure balance function and self-efficacy. It will be a clinically useful assessment of risk factors for falling in the elderly. However, the number of subjects was too small to generalize our results. Further study is needed to develop a new assessment considering more risk factors of falling in elderly.

In $ABCO_4$ and $ABC_3O_7$ (A=Ca, Sr; B=Y, Rare earth; C=Al, Ga), random distribution of static crystalline fields in activator sites results in inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines of luminescent materials. In this study, we investigated luminescent properties of above-mentioned materials by excitation and emission spectra. In result, both $ABCO_4$:Tb and $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors emit the green light. $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors absorbed shorter wavelength energy than $ABCO_4$ phosphors so that the emission efficiencies of $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors were higher than those of $ABCO_4$:Tb phosphors under vacuum UV.

The Engquist-Majdas second-order Absorbing Boundary Conditions (ABC) has been combined with the finite element formulation replacing the boundary integral equations in the hybrid finite-boundary element method (HEM). The method is applied to electromagnetic field radiation problems, especially to the microwave launcher, in order to verify the finite element formulation with the ABC's. The results with ABC are in good agreement with those of HEM. In order to see the applicability of the ABC, a simplified microwave oven utilizing ABC and an absorbing material are provided. The EM field distribution of the model is visualized. This method could be a useful analysis and design tool for EM field devices.

The main purpose of this paper Is to develop the Management Resource Analysis System for KOTRA which is based on Activity Based Costing(ABC). Because the products and services of KOTRA are exclusive and include a government subsidy, we need develop a different system from the private firm's ABC system. The Management Resource Analysis System that we propose is embodied using JAVA and JSP within an UNIX environment and developed as a Web-enabling base. It is expected for aiding a manager's decision-making such as resource inquiry, standard resource analysis, estimating the ratio of a government subsidy, case based reasoning, what-if analysis. The results of this paper suggest what points are to be considered when we apply ABC for Government Investment Corporation.
