In this study under the distributed system for efficient distribution resource completely symmetic global scheduler was designed and implemented to obtain the general global scheduler, that is load balancing as sharing objectives. To balance the system's load efficiently each node must be designed to get right decision-making. Thus we considered computing time to estimate fault such as delay on communication network, communication period and other decision-making. Load balancing mechanism which suggested in this study was implemented in the distributed system which IBM PC/AT linked to and composed with Ethernet. The target operating system was composed of IBM PC/AT as a basic construction in which proper type of UNIX operating system were ported and communication layer chose communication type implemented from Amoeba. The method of IPC employing layered multilevel access method to avoid inefficient protocol using direct communication mode guarantees rapid response due to short ready time for IPC.

Digital signal processor (DSP) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) based concentrated control systems are designed for implementing CPS-SPWM strategies. The self-defined universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) protocol is used for communication between a master controller and an individual module controller via high speed links. Aimed at undesired pulse competition, this paper analyzes its generation mechanism and presents a new method for eliminating competition pulses with no time delay. Finally, the proposed concentrated controller is applied to a 10kV/10MVar distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) industrial prototype. Experimental results show the accuracy and reliability of the concentrated controller, and verify the superiority of the proposed elimination method for competition pulses.

This paper proposes single logarithmic amplification (single-LA) and deep learning (DL)-based fixed-threshold on-off keying (OOK) detection for free-space optical (FSO) communication. Multilevel LAs (MLAs) can be used to mitigate intensity fluctuations in the received OOK signal by their nonlinear gain characteristics; however, it is ineffective in the case of high scintillation, owing to degradation of the OOK signal's extinction ratio. Therefore, a DL technique is applied to realize effective scintillation compensation in single-LA applications. Fully connected (FC) networks and fully connected neural networks (FCNN), which have nonlinear modeling characteristics, are deployed in this work. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulations under various scintillation effects. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional adaptive-threshold-decision, single-LA-based, MLA-based, FC-based, and FCNN-based OOK detection techniques.

최근에 높은 전력과 전압의 적용을 위한 방법으로써 PWM 방법보다는 스텝 펄스파를 이용해 출력 전압 레벨을 조합하는 멀티레벨 인버터가 폭 넓게 사용되어지고 있다. 이 방식은 도통각을 통해 한주기에 한번만 온, 오프 하기 때문에 스위칭 손실 측면에서 유리한 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 도통각을 얻는 간단한 방법을 제안하며 이 방법은 출력 전압 레벨에 의해 나누어진 기준 전압 파형의 전압-시간 면적들을 통해 인버터의 출력 스텝 펄스파를 구성한다. 또한 제안한 방법은 근사법에 의한 연립방정식의 해를 구할 필요가 없기 때문에 기존의 방법과는 달리 계산량을 줄일 수 있고 온 라인에 의해 도통각을 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Objectives: We examined whether the neighborhood socioeconomic position predicts the smoking rates after adjusting for individual socioeconomic position indicators. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2001 Seoul Health Indicators Survey. The neighborhood socioeconomic position was the residential distribution of the high class (power elites), as measured by the location quotients (LQ) for each administrative dong (district). A high LQ denotes a high neighborhood socioeconomic status. The individual socioeconomic position included education, occupation and income. Age-adjusted smoking rates according to the LQ level were computed with the direct method. The total number of subjects in this study (26,022 men and 28,007 women) was the reference. A multilevel logistic regression analysis was conducted with the individuals at the first level and the neighborhoods at the second level to estimate the odds ratios of smoking with 95% confidence intervals. Results: For men, the age-adjusted smoking rates increased with a decrease in the LQ. For women, the relationship between the age-adjusted smoking rate and the LQ was not clear. The odds of smoking for both genders were greater among those subjects with lower incomes and lower education. The manual occupational class had greater odds of smoking than the non-manual class for the males, while the odds ratio of smoking among females with a manual occupation tended to be lower than those females with a non-manual occupation. For the males, the LQ levels independently predicted smoking after adjustment for individual income. However, this relation between the LQ and smoking in males was explained by full adjustment for the individual socioeconomic position indicators (education, occupation and income). Conclusions: A low level of neighborhood socioeconomic position was associated with higher smoking rates among the men residing in Seoul. This association between the neighborhood socioeconomic position and smoking in men was explained by the individual socioeconomic position. Anti-smoking efforts to reduce geographical inequality in smoking should be directed at reducing the smoking rates between the individuals with different socioeconomic backgrounds in the metropolitan city of Seoul, South Korea.

Objectives: This study is to examine that drinking problems among university students were accounted for not only by student's individual characteristics but alcohol policy and environmental characteristics of the university in which students were enrolled. Method: Secondary data analysis was employed in which variables under study were derived from a raw data of a nationwide representative sample in 2009. Raw data under analysis included 3,665 students from 63 universities across Korea. Organizational and environmental characteristics of the university were collected from university administrators while individual characteristics and drinking behavior from the students in using self-administrated questionnaire. Multilevel regression analyses were employed to describe alcohol policy effects on students's drinking problems measured by AUDIT by using HLM7.0. Results: ICCs indicate that variation in drinking problem depends on alcohol policy of university. Multilevel regression models identified statistically significant factors in explaining variance of drinking problems. Group means on drinking problem are affected by indicators representing alcohol policy with level of drinking problem of student being decreased in accordance to level of availability of alcohol on campus. Conclusions: It is concluded that drinking problems among university students were associated with both individual characteristics and alcohol policy of the university they enrolled. This study supports policy belief that interventions at environmental as well as individual level are required to prevent drinking problem among university students.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ICT on multilevel marketing organizations (MLMs) whose members are both salespeople and consumers. This study explores the effects of the latest ICT convergence on the direct selling, which is the oldest sales method, and suggests the direction for the development of network marketing. Therefore, we will propose the changes in direct sales brought by ICT and predict the future direction of network marketing in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution era. Design/methodology/approach Exploratory case study was the methodology selected for this paper. The case study enables the use of multiple methods for data collection and analysis. This study applies qualitative case-study methodology on Amway Korea, which is the top seller of MLM organizations, to better understand the impact of ICT. This study conducted an in-depth interview with four different levels of MLM members (e.g. membership, ruby, emerald, diamond) which are based on the qualification system of MLM organizations and observed their behaviors. Findings This study revealed that the ICT impact on network marketing organizations(MLMs) could be summarized as follows : new membership growth, easier communication with customers, increase in work efficiency, increase in organizational trust, change in educational environment, and increase in the use of social media. Based on the interview, we propose the changes of network marketing organizations in the fourth industrial revolution era and the future strategy of Amway Korea as follows: (1) retention of royal ABOs, (2) harmony with SMEs, (3) utilization of Big Data, (4) creation of IoT business model, and (5) construction of successful O2O business platform.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine to what extent adolescents' daily self-evaluation mediates the effect of experiencing intimacy in parent-adolescent interactions on positive peer interactions the next day, even after controlling for gender and grade level. We employed a daily diary method for seven days in a sample of 452 Korean adolescents, collecting checklist data at the end of each day. Data were analyzed by using hierarchical linear modeling. According to moderated multilevel mediation analyses, the variance of self-evaluation explained 83% of the variance in the lagged effect of parental intimacy on the next day peer interaction even after the upper-level effects of gender and grade level were accounted for. Forth graders were more likely than 7th graders to have a more positive view of themselves when they experienced parental intimacy the previous day. Girls were less likely to experience positive peer interactions when they perceived less intimacy with their parents the day before. Results suggested that it would be most effective for peer relationship programs to teach parents and adolescents how to experience intimacy in their daily interactions, particularly in ways that help adolescents to think more positively about themselves. It would be helpful for parents to learn about various ways to compliment and encourage the adolescent child in everyday conversations. Lastly, findings in grade level differences also suggest that these programs might be especially effective for 4th graders more than 7th graders.

강의평가 결과에 영향을 미치는 특성변수로는 교과목 수준의 다양한 강좌특성 변수들과 수강생 수준의 다양한 인적특성 변수들이 있다. 특정 수강생은 다수의 교과목을 이수하기 때문에 다수의 교과목들은 동일한 수강생 안에 속하게 됨으로써 공유되는 특성이 있게 된다. 즉 강의평가 결과는 교과목 수준의 강좌특성 (1-수준)과 수강생 수준의 인적특성 (2-수준)에 의해 영향을 받는 다층구조 (multilevel)를 가지게 되며, 위계적 자료 특성을 가지는 복수의 분석단위의 구조가 된다. 따라서 전통적인 회귀분석에서와 같이 개별 교과목들이 독립이라는 가정을 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 강의평가결과에 영향을 미치는 다층구조의 특성을 가진 변수들의 영향력을 보다 타당하게 분석하기 위한 방법으로 위계선형모형 (HLM; hierarchical linear model)을 이용하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 교과목 수준의 특성변수들 중에 강좌규모, 개설학년, 담당교수의 전임여부, 해당 교과목의 총 평균평점, 원어강좌 여부가 통계적으로 유의하게 강의평가 결과에 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수강생 수준의 인적특성 변수들 중에는 성별, 학과계열, 대입당시 전형방법, 평균평점 등이 유의하게 강의평가 결과에 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.
