In this study we examined the economic value of restoration technology for oil spill using contingent value methods. One and one half approach to questionnaires can be taken when analyzing tax payer situations as well as single bound approach. The results of the empirical analysis suggest three conclusions. First, the economic value of the restoration technology considered are estimated to be between 8,439 won to 11,867 won per month. Second, the WTP is estimated differently depending on the approaches, OOHB and SB, and the degrees of difference are very sensitive to the model specifications. This empirical result supports the argument for using interval for the economic value when using CVM. Third, the empirical results may provide useful input to policy authorities attempting to estimate the economic justification of the R&D investment for developing an ocean environmental restoration technology.

최근 도시환경에 있어서 소음의 문제가 주목을 받고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 수도권 도시소음 저감의 편익을 추정하고자 한다. 이를 위해 양분선택형 조건부 가치측정법을 적용한다. 특히 단일경계 모형에 비해 효율성을 제고하면서 이중경계 모형에 비해 편의를 줄일 수 있도록 최근에 개발된 1.5경계 모형을 이용한다. 무작위 추출된 수도권 800가구를 대상으로 한 일대일 개별면접을 통해 도시소음 저감정책에 대해 얼마나 지불할 의사가 있는지를 물었다. 응답자들은 전반적으로 조건부 시장을 잘 받아들였으며, 가구당 월평균 977원에서 1,778원의 지불의사액을 가지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 지불의사는 도시소음에 대한 인식, 거주지역, 수도권 거주기간, 소득 등과 같은 가구특성변수에 유의하게 영향을 받았다. 이 값을 수도권 연두대상 지역 전체로 확장하였더니 연간 약 792.6억 원에서 1,413.5억 원에 해당하였다.

Forging of trapezoidal spline, serration and square spline with solid cylindrical billets and hollow one has been investigated by means of upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of splines have been proposed in this study. The half pitch of splines has been divided into deformation regons. The neutral surface is introduced into forging of splines with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius rn upper bound solutions obtained obtained by proposed kinematically admissible velocity fields are useful to predict the loads for forging of splines.

Forging of trapezoidal spline, serration and square spline with solid cylindrical billets and hollow one has been investigated by means of upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of splines have been proposed in this study. The half pitch of spline has been divided into several deformation regions. The neutral surface is introduced into forging of splines with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius $r_n$. Upper bound solutions obtained by proposed kinematically admissible velocity fields are useful to predict the loads for forging of splines.

Rapid and high-precision positioning with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is feasible only when very precise carrier-phase observations can be used. There are two kinds of mathematical models for ambiguity resolution. The first one is based on both pseudorange and carrier phase measurements, and the observation equations are of full rank. The second one is only based on carrier phase measurement, which is a rank-defect model. Though the former is more commonly used, the latter has its own advantage, that is, ambiguity resolution will be freed from the effects of pseudorange multipath. Galileo will be operational. One of the important differences between Galileo and current GPS is that Galileo will provide signals in four frequency bands. With more carrier-phase data available, frequency combinations with long equivalent wavelength can be formed, so Galileo will provide more opportunities for fast and reliable ambiguity resolution than current GPS. This paper tries to investigate phase only fast ambiguity resolution performance with four Galileo frequencies for short baseline. Cascading Ambiguity Resolution (CAR) method with selected optimal frequency combinations and LAMBDA method are used and compared. To validate the resolution, two tests are used and compared. The first one is a ratio test. The second one is lower bound success-rate test. The simulation test results show that, with LAMBDA method, whether with ratio test or lower bound success rate validation criteria, ambiguity can be fixed in several seconds, 8 seconds at most even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 12 mm. While with CAR method, at least about half minute is required even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 3 mm. It shows that LAMBDA method performs obviously better than CAR method.

Sixty human premolar teeth were used for this in vitro study. After each tooth was sectioned mesiodistally, one half was used for the experimental group and the other half for the control. Three groups were made for each fluoride applying method and twenthy teeth were assigned to each group. Ten teeth were used for evaluating total fluoride amount and the other ten were used for firmly-bound fluoride. Fluorshield was used for fluoride-releasing sealant and 1.23% APF, 0.05% NaF were used for topical application fluorides. Each tooth was cleaned with a tooth brush using nonfluoride containing pumice before the experiment. In the sealant group, fluoroshield was applied to the enamel surface without etching procedure and stored in $37^{\circ}C$ saline for 30 days. After 30 days, sealant was removed with explorer without scratching the enamel surface and washed with distilled water and dried. In the APF group, each tooth was immersed in 1.23% APF for 30 min then washed and dried in the same manner. In the NaF group, each tooth was immersed in 0.05% NaF for 24 hours then washed and dried as described above. After each fluoride regimen was applied, ten teeth were randomly selected from each group and immersed in 1M KOH solution for 24 hours to remove loosely-bound fluoride possibly deposited by the three different fluorides applied. In each group, total fluoride amount deposited and the amount of enamel removed by acid biopsy were calculated. After loosely-bound fluoride was removed, firmly-bound fluoride deposited and the amount of enamel removed by acid biopsy were also calculated. Total fluoride amount deposition was significantly increased in the APF and NaF groups, but not in the sealant group. Amount of enamel removed by acid-biopsy was also significantly diminished in the APF and NaF groups, but not in the sealant groups. After loosely-bound fluoride was removed from each groups, no statistical difference was found in the amount of firmly-bound fluoride in any groups. Also no effect of firmly-bound fluoride on enamel dissolution was shown in any groups after loosely-bound fluoride was removed from each group. In conclusion, topical application method of APF or NaF is more effective than fluoride-releasing sealant application to make $CaF_2$ coating on enamel surface and $CaF_2$ coating is the main source for anticariogenic effect of fluoride. However, longterm anticariogenic effect of fluoride-releasing sealant should be further evaluated.

This work reports studies of the catalytic and structural properties of pyridoxal kinase (ATP: pyridoxal 5' -phosphotransferase, EC. 2.7.1.35), Pyridoxal kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of vitamin $B_6$ (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine) using ATP-Zn as a phosphoryl donor. The enzyme purified from brain tissues is made up of two identical subunits of 40 kDa each. Native enzyme was inhibited by a substrate analogue, pyridoxal-oxime. Limited chymotrypsin digestion of pyridoxal kinase yields two fragments of 24 and 16 kDa with concomitant loss of catalytic activity. These fragments were isolated by DEAE ion exchange chromatography and used for binding studies with fluorescent ATP and pyridoxal analogues. The spectroscopic properties of both fluorescent pyridoxal analogue and Anthraniloyl ATP (Ant-ATP) bound to the 24 kDa fragment are indistinguishable from those of both pyridoxal analogue and Ant-ATP bound to the native pyridoxal kinase, respectively. The small 16 kDa fragment, generated by proteolytic cleavage of the kinase, does not bind any of the substrate analogues. Binding characteristics of Ant-ATP were extensively studied by measuring the changes in fluorescence spectra at various conditions. From the results presented herein, it is postulated that the structural domain associated with catalytic activity comprises approximately one-half of the molecular mass of pyridoxal kinase (24 kDa). whereas the remaining portion (16 kDa) of the enzyme contains a regulatory binding domain.

This paper considers a single machine rescheduling problem whose original (efficiency related) objective is minimizing makespan. We assume that disruptions such as order cancelations and newly arrived orders occur after the initial scheduling, and we reschedule this disrupted schedule with the objective of minimizing a disruption related objective while preserving the original objective. The disruption related objective measures the impact of the disruptions as difference of completion times in the remaining (uncanceled) jobs before and after the disruptions. The artificial due dates for the remaining jobs are set to completion times in the original schedule while newly arrived jobs do not have due dates. Then, the objective of the rescheduling is minimizing the maximum earliness without tardiness. In order to preserve the optimality of the original objective, we assume that no-idle time and no tardiness are allowed while rescheduling. We first define this new problem and prove that the general version of the problem is unary NP-complete. Then, we develop three simple but intuitive heuristics. For each of the three heuristics, we find a tight bound on the measure called modified z-approximation ratio. The best theoretical bound is found to be 0.5 - ${\varepsilon}$ for some ${\varepsilon}$ > 0, and it implies that the solution value of the best heuristic is at most around a half of the worst possible solution value. Finally, we empirically evaluate the heuristics and demonstrate that the two best heuristics perform much better than the other one.

In this paper, we show that a complete translating soliton Σ^m in ℝⁿ for the mean curvature flow is stable with respect to weighted volume functional if Σ satisfies that the L^m norm of the second fundamental form is smaller than an explicit constant that depends only on the dimension of Σ and the Sobolev constant provided in Michael and Simon [12]. Under the same assumption, we also prove that under this upper bound, there is no non-trivial f-harmonic 1-form of L²_f on Σ. With the additional assumption that Σ is contained in an upper half-space with respect to the translating direction then it has only one end.
