The goal of sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) is to replace original p-dimensional predictors with a lower-dimensional linearly transformed predictor. The sliced inverse regression (SIR) (Li, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 86, 316-342, 1991) is one of the most popular SDR methods because of its applicability and simple implementation in practice. However, SIR may yield different dimension reduction results for different numbers of slices and despite its popularity, is a clear deficit for SIR. To overcome this, a fused sliced inverse regression was recently proposed. The study shows that the dimension-reduced predictors is robust to the numbers of the slices, but it does not investigate how robust its dimension determination is. This paper suggests a permutation dimension determination for the fused sliced inverse regression that is compared with SIR to investigate the robustness to the numbers of slices in the dimension determination. Numerical studies confirm this and a real data example is presented.

Creating Shared Value (CSV) is a new business paradigm in which enterprises benefit from social works. The goal of this study is to assess greenhouse gas emission reduction through CSV-related activities of Yuhan-Kimberly (YK) Company. YK Company has planted over 50 million trees between 1984 and 2016 as a part of CSV activities. Through planting of trees, annual $CO_2 $ emission reduction ranged from 196.2 thousand to $336.3\;thousand\;tCO_2-eq$ depending on forest type in 2016, representing 44 million to 84 million KRW. Those results indicate that the company can contribute to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as well as obtain economic profits through CSV-related activities. Furthermore, this study provides motives for other companies interested in similar CSV projects.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) is one of the international environmental convention with the goal of stabilizing Greenhouse Gas(GHG) concent in the atmosphere and preventing potentially dangerous change in the earth's climate. The purpose of this convention is to reduce fossil fuel consumption and to prevent GHG emission. The Republic of Korea was one of the Annex-II parties submitted its national communication to the UNFCCC. As a developing county, there is no GHG emission reduction commitments made by South Korea during first commitment period(2008~2012). On the contrary, South Korea' status as an OECD member, joining in 1996, ranks 6th in GHG emission. Furthermore the rate of increase of GHG is first among OECD countries in year 2005. As a result, Korea will probably be incorporated into Annex-I in second commitment period (after 2013). So, Korea government established and announced Voluntary GHG Reduction scheme to reduce emissions of 4%(accounting for 30% reduction base on Business As Usual) from the 2005 level by the year 2020 for mitigation of reduction duty impact. In specific case of Korea, transportation section occupied almost 21% of total energy consumption and nearly 17% of total GHG emission at 2005, so systematic emission management is required. To do so, in this research, we focus on systematic way of GHG management system to handle GHG reduction duties in Railroad section.

본 연구에서는 생산 기술적 측면에서 개별 사업체의 투입요소 효율성을 제고함에 따라 절약할 수 있는 전력 사용량 및 이에 따른 온실가스 감축 잠재량을 추정하였다. 이를 위하여 자료포락분석기법(DEA)를 이용하여 제조업체의 투입요소 기술적 효율성을 추정하고 이를 토대로 온실가스 저감량을 추정하였다. 2008년도 제조업체 평균 기술적 효율성은 규모에 대한 보수(Returns to Scale) 가정에 따라 0.467-0.643으로 추정되었다. 이를 토대로 제조업의 전력사용 효율성을 개선함에 따른 온실가스 절감가능량은 전력 사용에 따라 발생하는 총 온실가스 발생량의 17.1-25.5%에 해당하는 양으로 추정되었다. 우리 정부가 2020년까지 온실가스를 BAU 대비 30% 가량 감축하기로 발표하였는데 본 연구에서처럼 제조업체 투입요소의 기술적 효율성을 제고함으로써 이러한 정부 정책 실현을 가시화할 수 있을 것이다.

The goal of this study is to understand how financial inclusion (FI) as influenced by Internet subscribers in India, affects India's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This study makes use of secondary data that was collected from 16 Indian states and one Union Territory between the fiscal years of 2018 and 2020. The goal of this study has been investigated using panel data regression analysis (PDR). And the study's findings indicate that wages received through MNREGA accounts and post office operating accounts under the supervision of Internet subscribers have a significant negative impact on India's SDGs, demonstrating how financial inclusion is harming the country's efforts to achieve sustainable development. This study suggests that it is important to pay attention to rural areas' access to the digital environment and their degree of digital literacy. These findings imply that improving the MGNREGA program and employees' pay might help the government alleviate poverty in India. Financial inclusion also depends heavily on financial literacy. The government should improve its digital infrastructure in rural and urban areas so that people there may better understand and utilize it given that it promotes financial inclusion, digitalization, economic advancement, rural development, and poverty reduction.

Stress determination is a very important step in the assessment of the safety of existing reinforced concrete structures. In rock mechanic this goal is achieved with the over-coring technique. The main idea behind such a technique is to isolate a material sample from the stress field in the surrounding mass and monitor its re-equilibrium deformation response. If the materials remains elastic, and elastic properties are known, stresses may be obtained from the corresponding measured strains. The goal of this paper is to evaluate if the over-coring technique is applicable to reinforced concrete members. The results of an experimental investigation on the behaviour of compressed concrete columns subjected to the over-coring technique are presented. Considerations about the range of applicability of the technique are made by comparing the measured and the theoretical stresses. After that, results of failure tests on drilled specimens are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the response is compared with that of columns core-bored before the compressive test. Finally, comparisons with numerical analysis are shown.

In Korea, as part of the Green New Deal project toward a carbon-neutral society, it is necessary to build a climate-resilient urban environment to green the city, space, and living infrastructure. To this end, SWMM-ING was improved and the model was modified to analyze the carbon reduction effect. In addition, I plan to select target watersheds where urbanization is rapidly progressing and evaluate runoff, non-point pollution, and carbon reduction effects to conduct cost estimation and optimal design review for domestic rainwater circulation green infrastructure. In this study, green infrastructure facilities were selected using SWMM-ING. Various scenarios were presented considering the surface area and annual cost of each green infrastructure facility, and The results show that the scenario derived through the APL2 method was selected as the optimal scenario. In this optimal scenario, a total facility area of 190,517.5 m² was applied to 7 out of 30 subwatersheds to achieve the target reduction. The target reduction amount was calculated a 23.50 % reduction in runoff and a 26.99 % reduction in pollutant load. Additionally, the annual carbon absorption was analyzed and found to be 385,521 kg/year. I aim to achieve additional carbon reduction effects by achieving the goal of reducing runoff and non-point pollution sources and analyzing annual carbon absorption. Moreover, considering the scale-up of these interventions across the basin, it is believed that an objective assessment of economic viability can be conducted.

일반적으로 저피탐(Low Probability of Intercept, LPI) 레이더는 펄스레이더에 비해 매우 낮은 송신출력, 높은 안테나 이득 등으로 인해 상대방의 전자전 장비(Electronic Warfare Support, ES)에 탐지될 확률이 낮다. LPI 레이더는 RCS 감소 설계와 같이 전자파에 대한 스텔스 기법의 한 종류로, 궁극적인 목적은 상대방에게 탐지되는 거리를 줄이는 것이며 RCS 값, LPI 성능 중 한 가지라도 성능이 미흡하면 적보다 먼저 탐지되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LPI 탑재 플랫폼의 피탐 확률 감소를 위해 고려해야할 사항을 제시하였다.

The goal of this paper is to verity that the gradual reduction of drug dose (GRDD), which has already been shown by authors to be effective for a simplified HIV infection model, still works for a more realistic model. While the simplified HIV infection model does not take into account an helper-independent CTL, the five state nonlinear model proposed by Wodarz describes the dynamics of both helper-dependent and helper-independent CTL in HIV infection. In this paper, it is shown that, by applying GRDD to Wodarz's five state HIV infection model, the state of HIV infected patient converges to that of non-progressor whose immune response is excited so that his symptom would not be developed into AIDS. Roughly speaking, GRDD is 'slow reduction of dose after the maximum dose for a certain period.' It turns out that an equilibrium representing non-progressor is locally asymptotically stable for the most values of drug dosage, which is required to hold in order to apply GRDD. Simulation results establish that GRDD is still considerably effective both for an AIDS patient and a patient who has been on HAART for a long time.
