Since the alcohol involves a wide variety of adverse health and social consequences, there is a strong need for improved estimates on economic costs and benefits of alcohol drinking to reduce the social alcohol abuse and to obtain some useful informations for targeting programs. However, there is no research for the intangible costs and benefits so far that are essential to estimate the real overall costs and benefits incurred by alcohol use. Thus this paper finds out and represents a general model for estimating the intangible costs and benefits by use of alcohol demand curve. The calculated monetary values, as a example, of them in 2002 show as big as 7,900 billion won and 4,200 billion won respectively.

This research paper investigates the effectiveness of using computer graphics(CG) based synthetic data for deep learning in military vehicle detection. In particular, we explore the use of synthetic image generation techniques to train deep neural networks for object detection tasks. Our approach involves the generation of a large dataset of synthetic images of military vehicles, which is then used to train a deep learning model. The resulting model is then evaluated on real-world images to measure its effectiveness. Our experimental results show that synthetic training data alone can achieve effective results in object detection. Our findings demonstrate the potential of CG-based synthetic data for deep learning and suggest its value as a tool for training models in a variety of applications, including military vehicle detection.

Purpose - We investigate whether a firm's engagement in socially responsible activity affects the quality of financial reporting within the retail industry of Korean market. Recent studies argue that more socially responsible firms tend to show a better quality of financial reporting. Research design, data, and methodology - We use a variety of proxy variables related to the use of discretionary accruals and real activity manipulation to measure the quality of financial reporting. The total of environmental, social and governance score is used to represent the degree of socially responsible activity in the retail industry. We use regression models to examine whether more socially responsible firms show a higher quality of financial reporting. The sample of publicly traded Korea retail firms is analyzed from 2011 to 2016. Results - Our analysis finds supporting evidence for limited earning management via the use of discretionary accruals. We find, however, no significant relationship between the degree of social responsibility and the quality of financial reporting within chaebol affiliates unlike non-chaebol affiliates. Conclusions - Our results weakly support a better quality of financial reporting for more socially responsible firms. The results highlight the importance of firm characteristics in deciding the effect of socially responsible activity on corporate policies.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), most energy saving asynchronous MAC protocols are custom tailored for unicast communications only. However, broadcast protocols are very commonly used in WSNs for a variety of functionalities, such as gathering network topology information, event monitoring and query processing. In this paper, we propose a novel low-power asynchronous broadcast MAC protocol called Alarm Broadcast (A-CAST). A-CAST employs the strobe preamble that specifies the residual waiting time for the following data transmission. Each receiver goes back to sleep upon hearing the strobe preamble for the residual time duration, to conserve energy and to wake up just before data transmission starts. We compute the energy consumption of A-CAST via rigorous mathematical analysis. The analytic results show that A-CAST outperforms B-CAST, a simple broadcast extension of the well-known B-MAC. We also implement A-CAST on sensor motes and evaluated its performance through real experiments. Our experimental results show that A-CAST reduces the energy consumption by up to 222% compared to the previously proposed protocols.

이 연구는 신규매체로서 IPTV의 서비스 이용자들을 대상으로 IPTV의 선택요인과 수용행태를 조사하고 다양한 부가서비스 이용에 대한 만족도를 실증적으로 분석했다. 연구결과, 요금과 콘텐츠 유형이 IPTV 사업자 선택에 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났으며, 매체 간 기능적 유사성은 IPTV와 인터넷의 유사성이 다른 매체들에 비해 조금 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. IPTV가 제공하는 서비스 유형 중에는 생활서비스와 부가서비스, 쌍방향서비스와 교육서비스의 이용 만족도가 높은 것으로 밝혀졌으며, IPTV 서비스의 전반적인 만족도는 항목별 실제 이용정도에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. IPTV 콘텐츠 가운데 수용자들은 국내드라마를 가장 많이 시청했으며, 해외영화와 연예오락 프로그램이 그 다음 순위를 차지했다. IPTV 수용자들이 느끼는 가장 큰 문제점은 '비용부담'과 '콘텐츠의 다양성 부족' 이었으며, 가격요인이 IPTV 선정기준에 가장 크게 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 유료 콘텐츠 이용 및 부가 서비스에 따른 추가비용 상승 부담을 향후 IPTV의 가장 큰 문제점으로 인식하고 있었다. 기존의 연구들이 IPTV 상용화 이전에 수용자 예측조사를 실시했다면, 이 연구는 IPTV 상용화 이후 주요 IPTV 서비스(메가TV, SK브로드밴드, LGTV)를 이용하는 실수용자들을 대상으로 IPTV의 가입특성과 다양한 서비스 이용행태 및 만족도를 밝히고 수용자들의 가격민감성을 연구결과로 제시했다는 점에 의의가 있다.

스마트 폰의 등장과 모바일 인터넷을 제공함에 따라 휴대폰은 음성통신 수단이 아닌 웹을 통하여 서비스를 제공받는 도구 또는 각종 게임 및 응용 어플리케이션을 제공하는 놀이 수단으로도 발전하였고, 이로 인하여 사용량도 증가하였다. 사용량의 급증으로 인하여 모바일 광고에 대한 업계의 관심도 증가 하였지만, 한정적인 출력 화면에 의하여 광고 효과가 제한적일 수밖에 없다. 이를 보완하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 기업의 로고 광고의 효과를 극대화 할 수 있는 안드로이드 기반 로고 인식 증강 현실 시스템을 제안하였고, 이를 구현하여 실제 스마트 폰에 탑재한 후 다양한 성능 분석을 하였다. 실험결과, 그 가능성은 확인하였지만 현 하드웨어 성능상 실시간으로 지원하기에는 역부족임을 알 수 있었다.

Trace minerals such as zinc, copper, and manganese are essential cofactors for hundreds of cellular enzymes and transcription factors in all animal species, and thus participate in a wide variety of biochemical processes. Immune development and response, tissue and bone development and integrity, protection against oxidative stress, and cellular growth and division are just a few examples. Deficiencies in trace minerals can lead to deficits in any of these processes, as well as reductions in growth performance. As such, most animal diets are supplemented with inorganic and/or organic forms of trace minerals. Inorganic trace minerals (ITM) such as sulfates and oxides form the bulk of trace mineral supplementation, but these forms of minerals are well known to be prone to dietary antagonisms. Feeding high-quality chelated trace minerals or other classes of organic trace minerals (OTM) can provide the animal with more bioavailable forms of the minerals. Interestingly, many, if not most, published experiments show little or no difference in the bioavailability of OTMs versus ITMs. In some cases, it appears that there truly is no difference. However, real differences in bioavailability can be masked if source comparisons are not made on the linear portion of the dose-response curve. When highly bioavailable chelated minerals are fed, they will better supply the biochemical systems of the cells of the animal, leading to a wide variety of benefits in both poultry and swine. Indeed, the use of certain chelated trace minerals has been shown to enhance mineral uptake, and improve the immune response, oxidative stress management, and tissue and bone development and strength. Furthermore, the higher bioavailability of these trace minerals allows the producer to achieve similar or improved performance, at reduced levels of trace mineral inclusion.

The purpose of this study is to explore ways toward the hat design development by looking into the formative and aesthetic characteristics of the works of Philip Treacy, the designer who raised hats to one of the important fashion accessories. This study concretely investigates the formative characteristics of Treacy's hats in terms of shapes, materials, colours and decorations. According to this study, the shape of his hats shows the natural and specific objects in three dimensions, not in basic shape of hats. He uses combination of a variety of materials, adding unique materials to existing ones, so that they not only create a specific atmosphere but also extend the limitation which used to be thought as materials for hats. In the field of colour, he mainly used black and white until 1999, but since 2000 he has been using vivid and splendid colors. And he uses feathers or nets for decorations of the hats. As the result of the comprehensive analysis of Treacy's works, this study characterizes his works by surrealistic, three-dimensional, rhythmic and future-oriented. Therefore, Philip Treacy's hat design can be defined three dimensional considering the formative beauty, and can be characterized by use of unique materials, vivid & bold colours, moderate decorations, f variety of lines, and asymmetrical structures. These characteristics show surrealistic, three-dimensional and futuristic message which rhythm can be felt. He presents unlimited capability in hat designs as a representative of human being's basic will for creating new ones beyond this real world. It is considered that this study can help broaden the limitation of the hat design which used to repeat simple forms in the Past and help explore ways for developmental direction of hat design in the future.

Generally, larger sample size leads to a greater statistical power to detect a significant difference. We may increase the sample size for both case and control in order to obtain greater power. However, it is often the case that increasing sample size for case is not feasible for a variety of reasons. In order to look at change in power as the ratio of control to case varies (1:1 to 4:1), we conduct association tests with simulated data generated by PLINK. The simulated data consist of 50 disease SNPs and 300 non-disease SNPs and we compute powers for disease SNPs. Genetic Power Calculator was used for computing powers with varying the ratio of control to case (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1). In this study, we show that gains in statistical power resulting from increasing the ratio of control to case are substantial for the simulated data. Similar results might be expected for real data.
