The telecommunication service industry plays a major role in the realization of the perfect information society in the 21st century and, has a great influence in society and culture. Using the Calculable General Equilibrium Model, we analyze the telecommunication service's economic effects on other industries as well as on the national economy. In 2001, the 8 percent increase in the telecom sales caused the 5 billion dollar increase in the GDP, which seems to continue to bring about no less than 5 billion dollar GDP increase each year until 2030. The telecom sales increase has been evaluated to have disproportionately positive effect on transmission device and audio equipment industries. In summary, the telecom sales have a positive net enぉ on the GDP and on most of the industries with a few exceptions.

This study was carried out to clarify the neuronal organization in pineal body of catfish. The pineal body was observed by acetylcholinesterase histochemistry and electron microscopy. The neuronal types observed in the pineal body of catfish were bipolar and multipolar cells. Multipolar cells were found throughout the pineal end vesicle and whole stalk, but bipolar cells only in the end vesicle and distal stalk. The pineal tract was formed by the long axons of these neurons. The neuronal clusters(pineal ganglia) were also observed in the end vesicle. In summary, the type of neurons in catfish pineal was different from that of other species, and the neuronal distribution differed depending on the region of pineal body. These results reflect the interspecific and regional differences of the pineal organization of fishes.

In this paper. a key frame extraction algorithm for browsing and searching the summary of a video is proposed. Toward this end, important frames representing a shot are selected according to the correlations among frames. by using the Fourier descriptor which is useful for the shot boundary detection. To quantitatively evaluate the importance of selected frames. a new measure based on correlation coefficients of frames is proposed. If there are several frames with a same importance. another criteria is introduced to break the tie. by computing the partial moment of subframes including each candidate key frame so that the distortion rate is minimized Since a key frame extraction algorithm can be evaluated subjectively. the performance of the proposed algorithm has been verified by a statistical test. Experiments show that more than 20% improvement has been obtained by the proposed algorithm compared to existing methods.

Wave Energy is a derivative of the solar energy input to the earth, which is accumulated on open water surfaces by the action of the winds Waves are disturbances in the water surface. This paper is interested primarily in progressive waves, which carry energy from one place to another Waves are irregular in size and frequency. Moreover the surface of the sea is one of the most hostile environments for engineering structures and materials. The idea of harnessing the tremendous power of the ocean's waves is not new. Hundreds of wave energy conversion techniques have been suggested over the last two centuries. Although many WECS (Wave Energy Conversion Systems) have been invented, only a few systems have been tested and evaluated. This paper describes the characteristic of WES (Wave Energy System) in terms of, devices, resource and potential, etc.. Finally, this paper provides a summary of general and specific conclusions and recommendations concerning WECS potential in Korea.

Nowadays the marketing environment has become an important factor which should be seriously considered by all the managers of modern firms. The survivals of modern firms are basically influenced by the changes of marketing environment. Particularly, it is necessary for firms to pursue the rational and efficient managerial activities since the recent environment is characterized by the stiff competition and rapid changes. First of all, this paper is trying to theoretically examine how the environment of the marketing system has been changing in terms of different periods and macro-levels. Secondly, in order to understand the patterns of consumers' perceptions on the environmental changes, some hypotheses have been established and relevant data have been collected. And, in order to analyse the results of this study, the followings have been implemented : Pilot analyses on the experimental environment and variables, the selection of research methodology, the test hypotheses, and the summary of the results. Finally, some practical implications have been suggested in order to help marketing managers formulate the efficient marketing strategic.

The object of this paper is to Study the work measurement which is one of the principal technique in work study for the improvement of Productivity in the foundry industry. Most of domestic mechanical enterprise using the expensive foreign machinerise is inoufficient for the standardization of the operation method and time. Therefore, the improvement of operation and productivity through the introduction of the work measurement is an urgent task. Therefore, this paper is contribute to the improvement of operation and to reduce the loss time through the application of the work measurement based on the case study conducted at W-Foundry Corporation. The summary of this study is follows; 1. The measurement of operation efficiency can be accomplished by the standard time. 2. The detailed causes and counter-proposal of loss time can be established, 3. More than 50% of loss time is attributed to c/p.

Two unusual cases of traumatic spondyloptosis of the cervical spine at the C7-T1 level are reported. One patient was treated with a single-stage combined anterior-posterior and anterior operation to achieve realignment of the cervical spondyloptosis, decompression of the spinal cord and keep of a three-column stabilization of the spine. The other patient was treated with conservative management that consisted of a rigid neck collar and pain control for two months. The patients were managed successfully and both had good neurological outcomes. We present here a summary of the clinical presentations, the surgical technique and results, and a review of the relevant literature.

CJC-50100 is a recombinant hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) expressed in yeast. The general pharmacological properties of CJC-50100 were evaluated in mice, rats, dogs and isolated guinea pig ileum. The doses were 0.33~33.3 $\mu$g/kg i.m. for mice and rats and 3.3~9.9 $\mu$g/kg i.v. for dogs. The concentrations of 0.002~0.02 $\mu$g/ml were used for the assay with guinea pig ileum. Intramuscular administration of CJC-50100 at the doses did not alter general behavior and the responses for central nervous system, smooth muscle, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular and respiratory system, and water and electrolytes excretion. In summary, CJC-50100 had no pharmacological effect in these studies even up to the 100-fold of the expected clinical dose, 20 $\mu$g/man/60 kg.

As the application of real time expert systems has been expanded, the real time expert systems have become an integral part of the information society. Real time expert systems are viewed as a new paradigm to integrate real time problem solving and expert system technology. However, a substantial amount of work is still required to effectively handle a new and challenging opportunity for successful implementation of real time expert systems. In this article, the basic concepts and characteristics of real time expert systems are discussed. The article also presents, through the literature survey, the summary of real time expert systems applications and a class of tools, providing an enabling real time based expert system technology. Finally, the article discusses a set of requirements which real time expert systems must satisfy.

The tension stiffening effect is defined as the increase in stiffness in reinforced concrete member due to the stiffness provided by concrete between cracks. If this is disregarded in analysis of reinforced concrete members, especially at the level of service loads, member stiffnesses may be underestimated considerably. This paper presents on the failure behavior and tension stiffening of RC tension test with main variables such as concrete strength, rebar diameter and strength. The tension stiffening was analyzed from the load-displacement relationship by ACI code and the proposed by Collins & Mitchell. In summary, the effect of tension stiffening decrease rapidly as the rebar diameter increase, rebar strength increase, and concrete strength increase. The effect of tension stiffening on RC member is the biggest near the behavior of concrete cracking and decrease as the load close to the breaking point. Thus, the tension stiffening should be considered for the precise analysis near the load of concrete cracking.
