본 연구는 컨조인트 분석에서 고려하고자 하는 속성의 수가 많은 경우 속성들의 병합을 통해 문항 당 묻는 속성의 수를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 속성 병합에 의한 문항 설계의 경우에 각 문항에 대한 응답자의 더욱 일관된 응답을 기대할 수 있어서 응답의 정확도를 높일 수 있다는 점에서 제안된 방법의 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 사례분석으로 2수준과 3수준 속성이 각각 4개인 $2^4{\times}3^4$ 문항 설계를 위하여 제안된 속성 병합 설계를 이용하여 블록의 크기가 36인 블록화 $6^4$ 설계를 생성하고, 각각의 문항에 대한 응답자들의 선호도 점수를 시뮬레이션 모형에 의해 생성하기 위해 주효과 A, C, V, W와 이인자 교호작용효과 AV, AW를 이용한 효용함수를 가정한다. 축차적인 변수 선택법과 모형 선택 기준에 따라서 1000회 반복된 시뮬레이션 모형에 의해 생성된 문항 자료를 분석하여 각 방법의 power를 비교한 결과, 보수적으로 변수를 선택하는 방법인 BIC를 기준으로 한 변수선택법과 유의수준을 0.01로 하는 본페로니 보정된 유의 수준값을 사용한 전진적 선택법이 적절한 모형 선택 방법으로 추천된다. 속성 병합 설계를 사용하는 경우에는 병합된 속성들 간의 교호작용효과를 추정할 수 없게 된다는 단점이 있다. 특정한 속성들 간의 교호작용효과가 존재할 가능성이 높다고 알려진 경우에는 실무 담당자들이 속성 병합 설계시에 병합되는 속성들의 배치를 조절해 잠재적인 속성들의 이인자 교호작용효과들은 추정가능하게 함으로써 이 문제는 해결 할 수 있다.

Some issues which should be considered in an R&D project selection problem are as follows: First, quantitative analysis on the efficiencies of R&D projects is required to guarantee objective validity in the evaluation of the projects. For this reason, the methodology for selecting R&D projects should be based on mathematical models that perform quantitative analysis. Second, in general there are ordinal factors like Likert-scale in the data for evaluating R&D projects. Previous researches, however, couldn't suggest explicit methods incorporating these ordinal factors into models. Third, for the R&D project selection problems with limited resources like budget, it is necessary to decide the perfect ranking of the all projects. This paper develops a mathematical model that can be applicable to the problems of selecting R&D projects with the previous features. In this paper, we improve the original DEA model for evaluating efficiency to incorporate ordinal factors and suggest a new model which can decide the perfect ranking of all projects by merging the improved DEA model and AHP method. Furthermore a web-based R&D project selection system using the DEA/AHP model suggested in this paper is developed and illustrated.

The boundary evaluation technique for Boolean operation on non-manifold models which is regarded as the most popular and powerful method to create and modify 3-D CAD models has been developed. This technique adopted the concept of Merge and Selection in which the CSG tree for Boolean operation can be edited quickly and easily. In this method, the merged set which contains complete information about primitive models involved is created by merging primitives one by one, then the alive entities are selected following the given CSG tree. This technique can support the hybrid representation of B-rep(Boundary Representation) and CSG(Constructive Solid Geometry) tree in a unified non-manifold model data structure, and expected to be used as a basic method for many modeling problems such as data representation of form features, and the interference between them, and data representation of conceptual models in design process, etc.

A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. It lastly is shown that based on ship information extracted from JERS data, a qualitative evaluation method of environmental stress is introduced.

A numerical method for simulating two-phase flows including surface force is presented. The method is based on fractional step method of finite volume formulation and the interface is tracked with PLIC VOF method. In the CSF model, as color function, f, representing the location of interface varies steeply in the interface region, we need to use smoothed function f to get accurate unit normal and the curvature. Peskin kernel is used to get smoothed function f. A spherical drop in static equilibrium and three-dimensional merging of gas bubble are tested, resulting in the validation of this method

We investigate noise-induced transitions in active rotator model with a fluctuating threshold in the presence of an additive noise. The fluctuation of the threshold depends on the additive noise in a nonlinear fashion. In the white-noise limit of the fluctuation, the Fokker-Planck equation of the system reduces to that of the system with correlated linear fluctuation implying that the nonlinearity may be transformed into the correlation of linear noises. We also investigate the system with a nonlinear colored noise which depends on the additive noise as its square. The system shows a single peak, two peaks, and three peaks in its steady state probability distribution according to the noise intensities and the correlation time whose change leads to peak-creating, peak-splitting, and peak-merging transitions.

Purpose - This study addresses an acquisition's impact on a firm's strategic relationship based on findings of existing academic studies and theoretical assertions. Through examining existing research results and theoretical grounds for an acquisition's impact on various stakeholders, this study indirectly approaches the impact on stakeholders including alliance partners. Research design, data, and methodology - This research identified a variety of related theoretical foundations and empirical studies. Research objectives of prior studies mainly focused on merging firms and direct participants of acquisition activity. In addition, academic attention on the impact on rival firms has recently been growing. However, little research on alliance partners was found. Prior studies simultaneously employed event study methodology and cross-sectional analysis to make further theoretical contributions. Results and Conclusions - Based on the findings of prior studies, this research proposed a complementary research model for future academic inquiry into the impact of an acquisition on an alliance partner's return and for predicting an acquisition announcement's effect on alliance partners.

This paper proposes efficient schemes for image segmentation using the region-based active contour model. The developed methods can approach the boundaries of the desired objects by evolving the curves through minimization of the Mumford-Shah energy functionals, given arbitrary curves as initial conditions. Topological changes such as splitting or merging of curves should be handled for the methods to work properly without prior knowledge of the number of objects to be segmented. This paper introduces how to change topological structure of the curves and shows experimental results by applying the methods to the images.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a proposed Framework for Evaluating the Return on Investment (ROI) of E-Learning Programs at Saudi Universities. To achieve this goal, the descriptive analysis methodology is used to analyze the literature review about e-learning and its evaluation from different viewpoints, especially from the ROI-related perspective. As well as the literature reviews related to ROI and the methods of calculating it inside society institutes. This study suggests a conceptual framework for evaluating the ROI of E-Learning Programs at Saudi Universities. This framework is based on the merging process among the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model for designing e-learning programs, which gives detailed procedures for executing the program, several evaluating models for e-learning, and the Kirkpatrick model for evaluating the ROI of e-learning. It consists of seven stages (analysis, calculating the costs, design, development, implementation, calculation of the benefits, and calculation of the final ROI).

Given two sorted lists A=(a0, a1, ${\cdots}$,a${\ell}$-1}) and B=(b0, b1, ${\cdots}$, bm-1), we are to merge these two lists into a sorted list C=(c0,c1, ${\cdots}$, cn-1), where n=${\ell}$+m. Since this is a fundamental problem useful to solve many problems such as sorting and graph problems, there have been many efficient parallel algorithms for this problem. But these algorithms cannot be performed efficiently in the postal model since the communication latency ${\lambda}$, which is of prime importance in this model, is not needed to be considered for those algorithms. Hence, in this paper we propose an efficient merge algorithm in this model that runs in $$2{\lambda}{\frac{{\log}n}{{\log}({\lambda}+1)}}+{\lambda}-1$$ time by using a new property of the bitonic sequence which is crucial to our algorithm. We also show that our algorithm is near-optimal by proving that the lower bound of this problem in the postal model is $f_{\lambda}({\frac{n}{2}})$, where $${\lambda}{\frac{{\log}n-{\log}2}{{\log}([{\lambda}]+1)}{\le}f_{\lambda}({\frac{n}{2}}){\le}2{\lambda}+2{\lambda}{\frac{{\log}n-{\log}2}{{\log}([{\lambda}]+1)}}$$.
