  • This study dealt with the U.S. government's book translation project as a part of its public diplomacy to gain the Korean people's 'minds and thoughts' in the midst of cultural Cold War from the end of World War II to the late 1950s. It was found that the U.S. book translation project was begun during the U.S. military occupation of South Korea, though with minimum efforts, and reached its peak in the late 1950s, In general, the purposes of the U.S. book translation project in South Korea was as follows: to emphasize the supremacy of American political and economic systems; to criticize the irrationality of communism and conflicts in the communist societies; to increase the Korean people's understanding of the U.S. foreign policies; to publicize the achievement of the U.S. people in the areas of arts, literature, and sciences. In the selection of books for translation, any ones were excluded which might contradict to U.S. foreign policy or impair U.S. images abroad. It must be noted that publications of a few Korean writers' books were supported by the project, if they were thought to be in service for its purposes. Even some Japanese books, which were produced by the U.S. book translation project in Japan, were utilized for the best effects of the project in South Korea. It may be conceded that the U.S. book translation project contributed a little bit to the compensation for the dearth of knowledge and information in South Korea at that time. However, the project may have distorted the Korean people's perspectives toward the U.S. and world, owing to the book selection in accordance with the U.S. government's policy guidance.

  • U-Healthcare is a convergence service with medical care and IT which enables to examine, manage and maintain the patient's health any time and any place. For communication conducted in U-Healthcare service, the transmission methods are used that patient's medical checkup analysis results or emergency data are transmitted to hospital server using wireless communication method. At this moment when the attacker who executes the malicious access makes DRDoS(Distributed Reflection DoS) attack to U-Healthcare devices or BS(Base Station), various damages occur that contextual information of urgent patients are not transmitted to hospital server. In order to deal with this problem, this study suggests DRDoS attack scenario and countermeasures against DRDoS and converges with Big Data which could process large amount of packets. When the attacker attacks U-Healthcare devices or BS(Base Station), DB is interconnected and the attack is prevented if it is coincident. This study analyzes the attack method that could occur in U-Healthcare devices or BS which are remote medical service and suggests countermeasures against the security threat using Big Data.

  • Our work empirically investigates the cultural differences of Social Networking Service (SNS) users in China, Korea and U.S. We construct a survey questionnaire from existing literature and test it for reliability, validity, and model fit. Then we collect data and validate the cultural differences of SNS users in three nations. Our results show different rankings from existing literature in cultural dimensions about three nations. In terms of masculinity, we find China > U.S. > Korea, similar to Hofstede. In individualism, we find U.S. > Korea > China, different from Hofstede (U.S. > China > Korea). In power distance, it is shown that Korea > China > U.S., different from Hofstede (China > Korea > U.S.). Uncertainty avoidance is found that U.S. > Korea > China, lowered ranking of Korea from the top among three nations in Hofstede. We find that these outcomes would be useful in updating national culture of the three nations and for future research about cultural impacts on SNS adoption.

  • For two vertices u and v of an oriented graph D, the set I(u, v) consists of all vertices lying on a u-v geodesic or v-u geodesic in D. If S is a set of vertices of D, then I(S) is the union of all sets 1(u, v) for vertices u and v in S. The geodetic number g(D) is the minimum cardinality among the subsets S of V(D) with I(S) = V(D). In this paper, we give a partial answer for the conjecture by G. Chartrand and P. Zhang and present some results on orient able geodetic number.

  • The Title 19 of the U.S. Code covers custom duties and is the heart of international trade regulation in the U.S.. Among the provisions in Title 19, is Chapter 4, the Tariff Act of 1930. Under U.S. Antidumping duty law, dumping occurs when `subject merchandise' is imported into the U.S. and sold at less than `fair value.' The administration of U.S. Antidumping duty law is shared between the Department of Commerce('Commerce') and International Trade Commission('USITC'). The U.S. Court of International Trade ("CIT") and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") decided the review of antidumping duty ("AD") determinations and administrative review results issued by the Commerce and the USITC, as well as the review of countervailing duty ("CVD") decisions. In Eurodif S.A. v. United States, the CAFC considered the important issue of whether the antidumping and countervailing duty laws apply to sales and purchases of services--in this case, the sale or purchase of enrichment services. Although the federal courts had considered the issue of whether a sale of enrichment services constitutes a sale of goods, the issue had never arisen in the context of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. Also this is the first time that the Supreme Court has ever agreed to consider an antidumping case.

  • This study discusses Johnson's $S_U$-normal distribution capturing a wide range of non-normality in various regression models. We provide the likelihood inference using Johnson's $S_U$-normal distribution, and propose a likelihood ratio (LR) test for normality. We also apply the $S_U$-normal distribution to the binary and censored regression models. Monte Carlo simulations are used to show that the LR test using the $S_U$-normal distribution can be served as a model specification test for normal error distribution, and that the $S_U$-normal maximum likelihood (ML) estimators tend to yield more reliable marginal effect estimates in the binary and censored model when the error distributions are non-normal.

  • Dumping describes the practice of international price discrimination whereby a producer or exporter sells merchandise in an export market at less than fair value. The U.S. antidumping statutory framework is embodied in the Tariff Act of 1930. The Act states that "dumping" refers to the sale or likely sale of goods at less than fair value. 19 U.S.C. $\S$ 1677(34). The Commerce Department and the Commission are jointly responsible for administering the antidumping law. Commerce determines whether foreign merchandise is being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and the Commission determines whether a domestic industry producing a product like the imported merchandise has been materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of that product. Recently, in U.S. v. Eurodif, the Supreme Court held the question whether the Commerce can reasonably determin that foreign merchandise has been sold within the meaning of the antidumping law in U.S.. Should 19 U.S.C. Section 1673, which calls for "antidumping" duties on foreign goods, but not services, that sell at less than fair value in the U.S., apply to imported low enriched uranium? Yes. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice David H. Souter, the Supreme Court held that the Commerce Department's view of imported low enriched uranium, as the sale of goods rather than services, was permissible. It reasoned that, since 19 U.S.C. Section 1673 did not specify whether it applied to the production of low enriched uranium, it was left to the reasonable interpretation of the Commerce Department to determine. Accordingly, the Court found the Commerce Department interpreted the statute reasonably.

  • Abelian군(群)의 presheaf에 관한 직적(直積)과 직화(直和)를 Category 입장에서 정의(定義)하고 presheaf $F_{\lambda}\;({\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda})$들의 두 직적(直積)(또는 直和)은 서로 동형적(同型的) 관계(關係)에 있으며, 특히 ${\phi}:X{\rightarrow}Y$가 homeomorphism이라 하고 ${\phi}_*F$를 X상(上)의 presheaf F의 direct image이라 하면 (1) $({\phi}_*F, \;{\phi}_*(f_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$$({\phi}_*F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}$의 직적(直積)일 때 오직 그때 한하여 $(F,\;(f_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$$(F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$의 직적(直積)이다. (2) $({\phi}_*F,\;{\phi}_*(l_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$$({\phi}_*F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}$의 직화(直和)일 때 오직 그때 한하여 $(F,\;(l_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$$(F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$의 직화(直和)이다. Let $(F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$ be an indexed set of presheaves of abelian group on topological space X. We can define the cartesian product $$\prod_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}\;F_{\lambda}$$ of $(F_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$ by $$(\prod_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}\;F_{\lambda})(U)=\prod_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}(F_{\lambda}(U))$$ for U open in X $${\rho}_v^u:\;(\prod_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}\;F_{\lambda})(U){\rightarrow}(\prod_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}\;F_{\lambda})(V)((s_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}{\rightarrow}(_{\lambda}{\rho}_v^u(s_{\lambda}))_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}})$$ for $V{\subseteq}U$ open in X where $_{\lambda}{\rho}^U_V$ is a restriction of $F_{\lambda}$, And we have natural presheaf morphisms ${\pi}_{\lambda}$ and ${\iota}_{\lambda}$ such that ${\pi}_{\lambda}(U):\;({\prod}_\;F_{\lambda})(U){\rightarrow}F_{\lambda}(U)((s_{\lambda})_{{\lambda}{\epsilon}{\Lambda}}{\rightarrow}s_{\lambda})$ ${\iota}_{\lambda}(U):\;F_{\lambda}(U){\rightarrow}({\prod}\;F_{\lambda})(U)(s_{\lambda}{\rightarrow}(o,o,{\cdots}\;{\cdots}o,s_{\lambda},o,{\cdots}\;{\cdots}o)$ for $(s_{\lambda}){\epsilon}{\prod}_{\lambda}\;F_{\lambda}(U)$ and $(s_{\lambda}){\epsilon}F_{\lambda}(U)$.
