Reports have a significant meaning in time-constrained large transaction environments, such as airplane control systems or wargame simulations. This is due to the necessity of generating reports within a given time limit without restraining the operation performance of large transaction environments. In order to generate reports in large transaction environments while satisfying time-constrained requirements, this paper proposes a model which combines the incremental operation mechanism and materialized view mechanism using triggers and stored procedures. Further, the implementation and evaluation of the proposed model provides the Identification of the characteristics of the proposed model.

Image steganography is a secret communication method used to transmit secret messages that have been embedded into an image. To accommodate a secret message in a digital image, the original cover image is modified by the embedding algorithm. As a result, a stego image is obtained. The sender hides the secret message in a cover image that has no meaning, and then transmits the stego image to the receiver. In this paper, we propose a steganographic method based on spatial domain to embed a secret message using a difference value of two consecutive pixels and a secret quantization range. Especially, we use the modular operation for increasing of insertion information. Through experiments, we have shown that the proposed method has much mon payload capacity, average 60 percent, than some existing methods by using modular operation.

Objectives : There are many reports on attempts to minimize complications and recurrences of tumor by several techniques for benign parotid tumor resection. The purpose of our study is to find out meaning of procedure without identifying main trunk of facial nerve compared to conventional parotidectomy. Material and Methods : We classified 121 patients into two groups. Patients who were underwent superficial parotidectomy or partial superficial parotidectomy were included in idenitification group(IF group), and patients who were treated with conservative partial parotidectomy or extracapsular dissection without identification of main trunk of facial nerve were included in the non-identification group(NF group). We analyzed the location of tumor, operation time, mean drainage duration, complication, recurrence and cosmetic satisfaction in two groups. Results : NF group has shorter operation time and mean drainage duration than IF group, however there is no significant difference in complication and recurrence between two surgical techniques. The Cosmetic satisfaction was similar between two groups. Conclusion : Limited parotidectomy without finding main trunk of facial nerve may be reliable option for benign parotid tumors because it has advantages such as less operation time and mean drainage duration without increasing in recurrence or complication rate.

This study was conducted to survey and diagnose operation status of the agricultural machinery rental service, analyse and compare operational efficiency among 82 city and county ATDEC (agricultural technology development and extension center) using the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method, and recommend future direction, for improvement of the business. Input variables were invested budget and labor, and output variable was rental return. Percentages of return to investment on the rental service were calculated as 68.3% and 63.9% when analyzed with CCR (Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes) and BCC (Banker, Charnes and Cooper) models, respectively, indicating inefficiency of the service operation. Increase of rental charge would increase efficiency by 63.9~68.3% depending on models, and decrease of financial and labor investment would improve the efficiency by about 11.3%. Technical efficiency would be more important than scale efficiency, therefore adjustment of over-invested budget and labor needed to be made together with increase of rental charge to improve the operation. Among the ATDECs providing the rental service, 6 (7.3%), 43 (52.4%), and 33 (40.2%) were in state of CRS (constant return to scale), IRS (increasing return to scale), and DRS (decreasing return to scale), respectively. These indicated public aspects of the rental system, over-investment, lack of output component for input component, meaning that scale income would be increased by qualitative expand of rental charge. Efficiency analysis of the rental system by region showed that efficient ATDECs to be benchmarked by others were in the order of DMU-70, DMU-54, DMU-29, DMU-5, DMU-22, DMU-2, and DMU-61. More comprehensive and extensive survey and analyses would be necessary in the future.

As electric power systems have been moving from vertically integrated utilities to a deregulated environment, the charging of reactive power management is a new challenging them for market operators. This paper proposes a new methodology to compute the costs of providing reactive power management service in a competitive electrical power market. The proposed formulation, which is basically different from those shown in the literature, consists of two parts. One is to recover investment capital costs of reactive power supporting equipment based on a reactive power flow tracing algorithm. The other is to recover operational costs based on variable spot prices using the optimal power flow algorithm. The charging shapes resulted from the proposed approach exhibit a quite good meaning viewed from a practical sense. It turns out that reactive power charged are mostly due to recovery of capital costs and slightly due to recovery of operational costs. The methods can be useful in providing additional insight into power system operation and can be used to determined tariffs of a reactive power management service.

Many leading companies know that the best quality dominates the world economy in the next 21 century and Six Sigma Program of Motorola Corporation could be considered as a typical model for it. Six Sigma Program is based on the quantitative analysis and the professional qualify manager's training. In fact, this program is a strategy to accomplish the total quality innovation by applying the standardized quality control techniques to the manufacturing or non-manufacturing operation parts. Since many companies recognized their successes and vision, leading domestic companies are very much interested in establishing and driving this program. However, they must understand the meaning of the program correctly and prepare the practicing strategy sufficiently, since there are many differences in ways to drive between other quality program such as TQM and Six Sigma Program. Otherwise, it should lead a big disappointment and another vapour of management paradigm. This study considers the concepts and features of Six Sigma Program of Motorola Corporation and suggest the effective practicing strategy, pointing out the possible problems.

The railway safety sign, which is a part of railway signal system, is installed at the lineside to inform a train driver the position, direction or condition concerning the train operation by its shapes, colors or symbols. The sign in the existed line of South Korea has low-level of visibility and legibility, so that it is difficult for the drivers to understand the meaning of a sign enough by just seeing its letters or pictogram. This paper is aimed at reviewing the design problems of the sign in existed line and developing the design to enhance its visibility and legibility and verifying its effectiveness.

It is expected that the need of a social welfare hall gradually arise in our community, since we regard the meaning of social welfare as a right which all of the people should have as guardians of the weakest members. Today, ambiguous guidelines on architectural plan of the social welfare hall, which are still not suitable for function and role of this hall, and are not corresponded with architectural design from the early design phase, are proposed in our design competition, because these kinds of halls have not been often built according to functional requirements of the social welfare. Therefore, this study proposes an architectural strategy that should be considered before designing a new social welfare hall, through an analysis of spatial usage in operation programs of various newly-built halls in Korea.

In "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", the name of blood vessels is closely related to images of the river, and the word for blood vessel contains the following meaning, such as blood vessel, blood wind as well as blood stasis and so on. In a physiological perspective, the unobstructed blood vessel and normal operation blood are important symbols of health, for blood is the basis for human survival, physical activity and mental activity. In pathology, the external cold, excessive seven emotions and a biased diet can cause many kinds of abnormalities of the blood vessels, which can in turn become causes for a variety of diseases. The theory of blood vessels in "Hwangjenaegyeong" can provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in practice.
