Objectives: The low benefit coverage rate of South Korea's health security system has been continually pointed out. A low benefit coverage rate inevitably causes catastrophic health expenditure, which can be the cause of the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty. This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of catastrophic health expenditure on the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty in South Korea. Methods: To determine the degree of social mobility, this study was conducted among the 6311 households that participated in the South Korea Welfare Panel Study in both 2006 and 2008. The effect of catastrophic health expenditure on the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty in South Korea was assessed via multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The poverty rate in South Korea was 21.6% in 2006 and 20.0% in 2008. 25.1 - 7.3% of the households are facing catastrophic health expenditure. Catastrophic health expenditure was found to affect the transition to poverty even after adjusting for the characteristics of the household and the head of the household, at the threshold of 28% or above. Conclusions: 25.1% of the households in this study were found to be currently facing catastrophic health expenditure, and it was determined that catastrophic health expenditure is a cause of transition to poverty. This result shows that South Korea's health security system is not an effective social safety net. As such, to prevent catastrophic health expenditure and transition to poverty, the benefit coverage of South Korea's health security system needs to the strengthened.

네트워크를 통한 주문형 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 클라이언트의 서비스 요청이 많은 비디오 뿐만 아니라 서비스 요청이 적은 비디오에 대한 서비스도 효율적으로 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 클라이언트의 다양한 서비스 요청율에 대해 동적으로 서비스 스킴을 변환시켜가면서 클라이언트의 QoS를 비슷한 수준으로 유지시키고 효율적으로 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 하는 동적 비디오 스트리밍 기법을 제안한다. 클라이언트의 서비스 요청이 적을 때는 휴리스틱 기법에 의해 서비스를 제공하고 서비스 요청이 많을 때는 주기적 방송(Periodic Broadcasting)기법 중 Striping Broadcast를 사용하여 서비스를 제공한다. 서버는 사용하는 채널 수로 클라이언트 요청율의 변화를 감지하며 이에 따라 더 효율적인 기법으로 서비스 스킴을 전환한다. 이 같은 스킴 트랜지션(scheme transition)에 대해 서비스 요청율을 변화시킨 것과 현재 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하고 있는 업체에서 얻은 트레이스를 통해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 합당한 수준의 성능이 나옴을 확인할 수 있었다.

The phase transition behavior isothermal micro-phase separation kinetics of polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer were studied using the synchrotron X-ray scattering(SAXS) method. The structural changes occurring during heating period were investigated by determining the changes of the one-dimensional correlation function, interfacial thickness and Porod constant. Based on the abrupt increases of the domain spacing and interfacial thickness, a major structural change occurring well below the melting transition temperature is suggested. Those changes are explained in terms of melting of the thermodynamically unstable hard domains or/and the interdiffusion of the hard and soft segments in the interfacial regions. SAXS profile changes during the micro-phase separation process were also clearly observed at various temperatures and the separation rate was found to be sensitively affected by the temperature. The peak position of maximum scattering intensity stayed constant during the entire course of the phase separation process. The scattering data during the isothermal phase separation process was interpreted with the Cahn-Hilliard diffusion equation. The experimental data obtained during the early stage of the phase separation seems to satisfy the Cahn-Hilliard spinodal mechanism. The transition temperature obtained from the extrapolation of the diffusion coefficient to zero value turned out to be about 147$\pm$$2^{\circ}$, which is close to the order-disorder transition temperature obtained from the Porod analysis. The transition temperature was also estimated from the inveriant growth rate. By extrapolating the inveriant growth rate to zero, a transition temperature of about 145$\pm$$\pm$$2^{\circ}$ was obtained.

A study was carried out to observe the effects of feed types on the growth, feed preference, and enteric feed transition rate of juvenile starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus for 45 days. Fifty fish (avg. 135 g) were stocked each in replication, and fed a commercial extruded pellet diet (EP, 45% protein) and a moist pellet diet (MP, 65% raw mackerel+35% feed powder in wet basis), respectively. The MP presented the higher performance than that of the EP on the feed efficiency ($68.3{\pm}0.9%$ for EP and $92.3{\pm}4.3%$ for MP) and the specific growth rate ($1.07{\pm}0.07$ for the EP and $1.20{\pm}0.05%$ for the MP). In contrast, the EP showed the higher feed preference in terms of the daily feed intake ($1.57{\pm}0.08%$ for the EP and $1.30{\pm}0.01$ for the MP) and the ad libitum feeding rate after a fast of 72 hours (1.73% for the EP and 1.35% for the MP). The feed transition rate through intestinal canals decreased exponentially in both the EP and the MP, showing the faster transition rate with the EP. In the result, starry flounder appeared to have the better feed preference to the EP, but have the higher feed efficiency and growth performance to the MP.

For the efficient coding and transmission, the speech signal can be classified into three distinctive classes: voiced, unvoiced, and transition classes. At low bit rate coding below 4 kbit/s, conventional sinusoidal transform coders synthesize speech of high quality for the purely voiced and unvoiced classes, whereas not for the transition class. The transition class including plosive sound and abrupt voiced-onset has the lack of periodicity, thus it is often classified and synthesized as the unvoiced class. In this paper, the efficient algorithm for the transition class detection is proposed, which demonstrates superior detection performance not only for clean speech but for noisy speech. For the detected transition frame, phase information is transmitted instead of magnitude information for speech synthesis. From the listening test, it was shown that the proposed algorithm produces better speech quality than the conventional one.

연속음 인식을 위해서는 음성신호의 음성학적 경계를 결정짓는 분할과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 음성신호의 전이구간을 결정하기 위한 파라미터로 한 프레임 내의 비대칭율을 제안하였다. 제안된 그 프레임에서 음성진폭의 변화율을 대별하며, 인근 프레임의 비대칭율과 비교하면 현재의 프레임이 정상상태 혹은 전이영역에 있는지를 구별할 수 있게 해 준다.

Recursive Patching is an efficient multicast technique for large-scale video on demand systems and recursively shares existing video streams with asynchronous clients. When Recursive Patching initiates a transition stream, it always makes a transition stream have additional data for the worst future request. In order to share a VOD server's limited network bandwidth efficiently, this paper proposes Practical Patching that removes the unnecessary data included in the transition stream. The proposed Practical Patching dynamically expands ongoing transition streams when a new request actually arrives at the server. As a result, the transition streams never have unnecessary data. Simulation result confirmed that the proposed technique is better than Recursive Patching in terms of service latency and defection rate.

대향류확산화염에서 수축하는 화염디스크로부터 화염구멍으로 천이에 대한 실험 연구가 수행되었다. 이러한 연구는 버너직경, 전체신장율 그리고 속도비에 따라 묘사된다. 적절히 작은 버너 직경을 사용한 경우 고신장율 화염임에도 반경방향의 전도 열손실의 효과가 기여하는 것을 실험적으로 입증하였다. 그리고 화염소화 모드는 세 가지로 분류되며 특히, 충분히 큰 고신장율 화염의 표면에서 화염구멍 또는 줄무늬로 나타났다. 그리고 버너직경에 따라 화염소화모드를 구분 짓는 임계화염반경이 존재한다.

In the aminolysis of phenacyl bromides ($YC_6H_4COCH_2Br$) with benzylamines ($XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2$) in acetonitrile, the Bronsted βx (βnuc) values observed are rather low ( βX = 0.69-0.73). These values are similar to those (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) for other aminolysis reactions of phenacyl compounds with anilines and pyridines, but are much smaller than those ( βx = 1.1-2.5) for the aminolysis of esters with benzylamines which are believed to proceed stepwise with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. The relative constancy of the βx values (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) irrespective of the amine, leaving group and solvent can be accounted for by a bridged type transition state in the rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. Thus the aminolysis of phenacyl derivatives are proposed to proceed stepwise through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate ($T^{\pm}$), with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group from $T^{\pm}$. In the transition state, the amine is bridged between the carbonyl and α-carbons, which leads to negligible effect of amine on the leaving group expulsion rate.

When the low pressure injection molded parts are debinded by wicking and subsequent thermal pyrolysis the optimum transition point from wicking to thermal pyrolysis is just after the completion of the constant wicking rate period. Even when the partially debinded parts were heated at 5$^{\circ}C$/min after reaching the 1st falling rate period the debinding defects such as distortion and cracks were not found.
