Until now, there have been few studies analyzing the efficiency of the Port of Mokpo and comparing it with other seaports in the country to identify the future direction of development for the port. In this paper, we use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model in combination with the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) to measure the efficiency and productivity of major ports in Korea, focusing on the Port of Mokpo. First, the study identifies which ports are efficient or inefficient based on technical or operational scale. Second, by using the MPI to overcome the shortfalls of the DEA model, the study can compare a port's performance across the years and evaluate the productivity of a port during the research period. Moreover, this study also applies fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering to classify port groups based on the size of their infrastructure and their efficiency scores. Finally, it is possible to find ways to enhance the efficiency and future direction of development of the Port of Mokpo.

In this paper, the results of monotonic loading analysis with four steel models and one composite model were shown. The effect that moment transfer efficiency of a web and strain concentration at a steel beam-to-column connections was investigated. Analysis results showed that the moment transfer efficiency of the analytical model with box-column was poor when comparing to model with H-column due to out-of-plane deformation of the box-column flange. The presence of scallop, thin plate of box column and floor slabs was also a reason of the decrease of moment transfer efficiency, which would result in a potential fracture of the steel beam-to-column connections. Analytical results were compared with experimental results based on previous test. As a result, the deformation capacity of connections with a box-column or a floor slab decreased due to the poor moment transfer efficiency and the strain concentration of beam flange in the vicinity of the steel beam-to-column connections based on the experimental data.

Improving efficiency of the telecommunication is crucial to the development and growth of Korean economy. Recently, it has become important with the huge development of information technology and its greater potential for extensive impact on the rest of the economy. Hence, it is useful to determine the factors that help enhance efficiency in telecommunication and consider them in improving the evaluation model. This study applies DEA (data envelopment analysis) to evaluate the relative efficiency of 51 branches of a Korean telecommunication company. Using the super-efficiency approach, we tested outliers which may affect the results and ranked the efficient branches. A method of deriving key variables applied to business operation is proposed to identify the key performance indicators for evaluation that takes environmental (non-discretionary) factors into account. We used the extended CCR model proposed by Banker and Morey to investigate the influence of non-discretionary factor. The information provided by the model (slacks, weights) and the sensitivity analysis shows that the most important indicator that affects the branch performance is operating cost. The results of sensitivity analysis show that average efficient score decreases from 0.972 (base case) to 0.863 for CASE2-COST. The average score of the data proves the priority of operating cost over other indicators. The effect of environmental (non-discretionary) variable was found to be significant. The population effect was positive and improved overall efficiency by 0.91% on average. Non-discretionary factor plays a meaningful role explaining the performance of branches. The performance optimization report can help a manager of an inefficient branch to develop branch strategies. Managers can identify the top-performing units, study best practices and adopt the strategy to the organization.

In this study, the efficiency of the by-pass fishway installed at Kangjung-Goryong Weir in Nakdong River was assessed by using River2D which is a two-dimensional physical habitat simulation model. The model was calibrated and validated through the measured water elevation. The assessment was performed according to flow condition such as flood, normal, and low flow. Especially the low flow condition was focused on because the target fish, Zacco Platypus, have moved frequently up and downstream at the spawning season from April to June. From simulation results, it can be deduced that the influx efficiency and the passage efficiency of the fishway in the low flow is higher than that in the flood and normal flow due to occurrence of proper velocity at fishway entrance.

The conventional Wheeler cap method can extract the reliable efficiency of the antenna when the antenna operates as a simple series or parallel RLC circuit model. This method, however, may give an unreliable efficiency when the antenna under test has a complicated operating principle. In this paper, we revisit the conventional Wheeler cap method and propose a modified Wheeler cap method basedon the high-order circuit model. The proposed method can provide an accurate efficiency even for the antenna with a more complicated operating principle. Then we calculate efficiencies of other antennas with different operating principles and compare the results with the simulations.

Cyber hackings are increasing and becoming more intelligent. The government and private companies conduct various information protection activities by investing lots of money and employing security personnel to protect import ant assets and personal information. It is important to evaluate the efficiency of the information protection activities that cost lots of money and manpower. However, the studies on the efficiency of the information protection activities were mainly conducted for government agencies the information of which is more readily available. This study suggests a model that can evaluate the efficiency of the activities of information protection and information security certification of various private companies. Our model evaluates the efficiency of the information protection activities by applying AHP and DEA on the information that are publicly announced by the private companies. Our model identifies the DMUs that are efficiently operated and suggests the improvement policies for the DMU that are non-efficiently operated.

A method of moments model for the resistive vee dipole has been established. In order to validate the numerical model, an experimental model is built and reflections from the antenna in the feed line are measured. The measured data and the numerical data agree closely validating the numerical model. Based on the numerical model, efficiency of the antenna and the power dissipated in the resistors are analyzed. The results show that the antenna has low radiation efficiency because of the loading resistors and that the resistors near the drive point of the antenna dissipate more power than do the resisters far from the drive point. The results can be used to determine the amount of power that can be accepted by the resistive vee dipole, to determine the power rating of the loading resistors for a desired application, or to estimate the operation range of the antenna.

The software market has diversified service needs due to the expansion of the mobile market. To this end, the company intends to produce various apps by extending to the design domain based on the structured architectural assets of the domain market. In this study, we propose an evaluation model that can evaluate the efficiency for servicing assets that reflect the domain characteristics of architecture based on cloud. Based on the characteristics of ISO/IEC 25010 quality model of SQuaRE Series, a software evaluation standard, evaluation model sub-features for evaluating the efficiency of cloud-based asset data were constructed. When the architectural assets were designed as composite assets, they were designed to provide the flexibility of the evaluation model by applying the mandatory and optional evaluation elements of the sub-features that weighted the evaluation items according to the characteristics of the design domain.
