  • Along with response of the Climactic Change Convention, the government is demanding a measuring and reporting system for green-house gas emission and energy consumption on the railroad sector in order to make a transition to a low carbon green railroad system. According to the plans to electric railway line and increase the number of electric rolling stock, the electric consumption is increasing more than the consumption of diesel. Therefore, the development of monitoring device for green-house gases became important issue. In this study we developed a prototype of the monitoring system for estimating electric consumption. This study is expected to make accurate GHG emission inventory and be used to have confidence of emission factor.

  • This study investigated the effects of sociocultural influence and body image on appearance enhancement behavior (facial management, clothing selection, and weight/figure management). For data collection, a questionnaire was administrated to 378 female college students in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do from May $23^{rd}$ to June $10^{th}$ 2013. A SPSS 18.0 statistics package was used to analyze data along with descriptive statistical analysis, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis and frequency analysis. The results were as follows. First, sociocultural influences were divided into three factors: media influence, peer influence, and parental influence. Overall sociocultural influences had positive effects on appearance enhancement behavior. Second, body image was divided into: appearances-management, body-satisfaction and body confidence. Sociocultural influences had a significant effect on overall body image. Third, body image positively affected overall appearance enhancement behavior.

  • The Core in Weapon system R&D is to realize the user required capabilities in limited schedule and cost. Therefore, the design of weapon system focuses to functional design for realization of requirement capabilities. However, the weapon system should not only basically bring the confidence to friendly forces bring fear to enemy forces to maximize the operational effectiveness of weapon systems and we consider the exterior design as the important factor to compete with foreign systems in international defense market besides capabilities and cost. For that reason, we made study case about the visual design decision process applied to the LVT(light tactical vehicle) project which was recent successful deployment among the many R&D projects of auto industry. Based on this case, this study suggests the necessity of the exterior design decision process the maneuver weapon system is developed.

  • All observation has uncertainty due to noise or channel characteristics. This uncertainty should be counted in the modeling of observation. In this paper we propose a modified optimization object function of a GMM training considering inexact observation. The object function is modified by introducing the concept of observation confidence as a weighting factor of probabilities. The optimization of the proposed criterion is solved using a common EM algorithm. To verify the proposed method we apply it to the speaker recognition domain. The experimental results of text-independent speaker identification with VidTimit DB show that the error rate is reduced from 14.8% to 11.7% by the modified GMM training.

  • This paper is concerned with the applicability of the chi-square approximation to the six disparity statistics: the Pearson chi-square, the generalized likelihood ratio, the power divergence, the blended weight chi-square, the blended weight Hellinger distance, and the negative exponential disparity statistic. Three dimensional contingency tables of small and moderate sample sizes are generated to be fitted to all possible hierarchical log-linear models: the completely independent model, the conditionally independent model, the partial association models, and the model with one variable independent of the other two. For models with direct solutions of expected cell counts, point estimates and confidence intervals of the 90 and 95 percentage points of six statistics are explored. For model without direct solutions, the empirical significant levels and the empirical powers of six statistics to test the significance of the three factor interaction are computed and compared.

  • Malassezia(Pityrosoprum) pachydermatis에 의한 피부염의 위험요인을 파악하고자 1997년 1월에서 1998년 12월까지 서울대학교 수의과대학 부속동물병원에 내원하여 본 질환으로 진단된 29두와 동일한 기간 동안 피부과 검사에서 임상적으로 건강한 개로 확인된 97 두의 대조군을 대상으로 분석하였다. 각 설명변수에 대한 교차비(odds ratio, OR)와 신뢰구간(confidence interval, CI)은 변수보정법을 사용하여 계산하였다. 다른 공변수를 보정한 상태에서 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석(multiple logistic regression analysis)을 시행한 결과 피부병기왕력(p=0.0059; OR, 4.44; CI, 1.5∼12.8)과 비만(p=0.0013; OR, 5.38; CI, 1.9∼14.9)은 유의한 위험요인으로 나타났다. 단변량 분석(univariate analysis)에서 주 사료로 고기를 섭취하는 경우 피부염의 위험이 높은 변수로 작용하였지만(p=0.0398; OR, 6.38; CI, 1.1∼37.3) 다른 공변수를 보정한 분석에서는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 성별, 품종, 및 예방접종은 위험요인으로 작용하지 않았다.

  • The characteristics of a disk-loaded cylindrical dipole (DLCD) antenna that determine its performance are analyzed by using the method of moments. The current integral equation that is considered with extended boundary condition is derived. Numerical results for the input impedance and radiation pattern of the antenna are presented. The antenna factor with the antenna gain is computed to check the possibility of using this antenna as the broadband antenna for the special case in such as electromagnetic compatibility testing. The comparisons of the computed results with measured data are made. These results will allow this antenna to be used with confidence in various applications.

  • Beyond SERVQUAL-based service quality research, we develop a measurement model of public service quality that would provide researchers and practitioners in the public sector with a foundation for systematic investigation and implementation. Firstly, we explore the attributes of public service quality that lead to customer satisfaction by using the critical incident technique (CIT). We identified four dimensions of public service qualities. We also found that the critical attributes of service quality differ according to the types of customers. Secondly, to achieve a high degree of empirical confidence, we conduct statistical tests and analyses on the classification scheme and on the attributes of service quality that we derived from the CIT analysis. Through these analyses, we could remove the redundancy among attributes and group the attributes into new constructs, which are mutually exclusive and exhaustive; we built a more sophisticated measurement model of service quality.

  • The purpose of the present study is to investigate the correlations between food intake behavior and job stress level and neuropeptide hormone concentrations. Job strain and food intake behavior were first identified using a self-reported questionnaire, concentrations of neuropeptide hormones (adiponectin, brain derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], leptin, and ghrelin) were determined, and the correlations were analyzed. In the results, job strain showed significant correlations with adiponectin (odds ratio [OR], 1.220; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.001~1.498; p < 0.05) and BDNF (OR, 0.793; 95% CI, 0.646~0.974; p < 0.05), and ghrelin exhibited a significant correlation with food intake score (OR, 0.911; 95% CI, 0.842~0.985, p < 0.05). These results suggest that job stress affects food intake regulation by altering the physiological concentrations of neuropeptide hormones as well as emotional status.

  • This paper develops phase sensitive detector for diagnosis of distribution transformers. And to detect the $tan{\delta}$ more effectively, this paper used phase sensitive detector. The sensor in oil which could be placed inside of the distribution transformer can measures the $tan{\delta}$ in oil. This could be the important factor and information, and it could be used for the basic information for a precise diagnosis. Establishment of the proposed system helps to build the confidence in monitoring of the oil-filled transformers.
