It is generally accepted that leadership is the foundation for creation of a company's business results. However, empirical evidence is lacking. This paper examines the relationship between leadership and key performance results based on a Return on Leadership Model. The model links Denison's four leadership traits to people results, customer results, and ultimately key performance results. Further specified, the model is a structural equation model with nine latent variables, each measured by a set of indicators, observed by survey questions. To validate the model, an empirical study was conducted, and 379 managers from medium-sized and large companies in Denmark participated. The estimation of the model shows that the model structure explains return on leadership very well, and the findings support the developed model. We are able to quantify the relationships from leadership to people results, customer results and key performance results and, in this way, the data presented here provide evidence that leadership is linked to key performance results. Several results and applications of the model are shown. The findings provide new knowledge about how leadership can be linked to performance, and how excellent leadership creates key performance results.

With respect to stochastic delays at linked signals the solid quantitative information has not been available as yet. On the basis of field data the values of "I" (variance-mean ration of flow) were related with the rate of flow. The stochastic delays with specific "I" values were obtained from the distribution of overflow queue, which were calculated by the use of Markov chains. This examination of the results led to the derivation of a simple method for calculating stochastic dclays through the introduction of "I" into Miller's model. The good agreement was shown between the model and the field. The relationships between the cycle lengths and delays were examinated in a large number of conditions with regard to degree of saturation. signal split and link length. Within the practical range of cycle length uniform delays were dominant and no critical point was found in terms of minimum, delay. In highly saturated conditions however the weight of stochastic delay is noticeable.

The dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution probability. First of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. The breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised and the electric field is concentrated. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher Finally, from the analysis of weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1[%], the applied field value needed to be under 21.5 MV/cm.

The concept of style including the external form and internal meaning provides a useful structure to clarify the historical phenomenon on dress. The purpose of this study was to explore surrealism related to the external form and internal meaning and the stylistic change of surrealism through 1930 and 1988 according the linked solution proposed by Brodsky. The results were as follows; 1. In terms of double roots including the external form and the internal meaning on the surrealism of dress, first, the external form was founded to be that each objects having symbolic meaning was dislocated from its original place to dress. Second, the aspects of internal meaning intended to represent not rational and external world but irrational as well as to reveal other nature of object or dress itself. 2. The change of surrealistic style on dress was characterised as "linked solution" change theory than cyclical change theory through the historical data from 1930 to 1988 of documentary sources.

The dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were applied to Weibull distribution probability. First of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased, the stronger breakdown strength became at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. The breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised and the electric filed is concentrated. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher. Finally, from the analysis of weibull distribution, it was confirmed that to low allowed breakdown probability under 0,.1%, the applied field value needed to be under 21.5MV/cm.

In this study, the DC dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for PCB material was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution equation. The more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical, and the breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. From the analysis of Weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1[%], the applied field value needed to be under 21.5[kV/mm].

In this study, we present a fast option pricing method for four asset equity-linked securities (ELS) using Brownian bridge. The proposed method is based on Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and a Brownian bridge approach. Currently, three asset ELS is the most popular ELS among multi-asset ELSs. However, four asset ELS emerged as an alternative to three asset ELS under low interest rate environment to give higher coupon rate to investors. We describe in detail the computational solution algorithm for the four underlying asset step-down ELS. The numerical tests confirm the accuracy and speed of the method.

We extend the previous work [J. Korean Soc. Ind. Appl. Math. 21(3) 181] to two-and three-asset equity-linked securities (ELS). In the real finance market, two-or three-asset ELS is more popular than one-asset ELS. Therefore, we need to develop mobile platform for pricing the two-and three-asset ELS. The mobile implementation of the ELS pricing will be very useful in practice.

Hypercholesterolemia, a form of hyperlipidemia, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, often linked to genetic variations in the APOE gene, particularly the ε4 allele, which influences LDL cholesterol levels. This study aimed to examine the association between APOE gene variants and plasma sphingomyelin levels in Korean individuals with hypercholesterolemia, using a metabolite genome-wide association study (mGWAS) approach. Data from 7,031 participants in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) were analyzed. Genetic associations with cholesterol and sphingomyelin levels were evaluated through Exome chip analysis and metabolite profiling. Significant associations were identified between specific APOE variants (e.g., rs769449, rs4420638) and serum cholesterol levels. Additionally, certain SNPs were linked to variations in plasma sphingomyelin levels, suggesting a genetic influence on both lipid and sphingomyelin metabolism. The findings underscore the relevance of mGWAS in unraveling the genetic and metabolic pathways involved in hypercholesterolemia, offering potential biomarkers for disease risk and therapeutic targets.

차세대 웹 기술인 시맨틱 웹(Semantic Web)이 각광을 받음에 따라, 시맨틱 웹과 관련된 다양한 기술들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, 시맨틱 웹의 핵심 사례인 링크드 데이터(Linked Data)는 웹으로 접근 가능한 형태의 URI로 시맨틱 데이터를 표현하고 서로 연결함으로써, 오픈 데이터로서 상호운용성 극대화 및 데이터의 통합을 용이하게 한다. 이는 바이오인포매틱스 기술 발전과 결합하여 웹에서 바로 이용 가능한 많은 의학 링크드 데이터 생산과 이를 활용한 다양한 의학용어 검색 서비스 개발 결과를 가져왔다. 하지만, 기존 의학용어 검색 서비스들은 각 기관이 보유하고 있는 의학정보를 기반으로 서비스되기 때문에 다양하고 정확한 정보를 얻기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력을 투자해야 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 척추 분야 의학 관련 링크드 데이터를 활용해 정확도가 높고 확장이 용이한 척추정보 검색 서비스를 제안한다.
