Productive human resources are important assets for companies in facing the global economic competition. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of economic attitudes toward employees' job satisfaction as well as understanding the impact of economic attitudes toward employee productive behavior at "Sentra Tenun Ikat" in East Java. The research method applied in this study is quantitative research with an explanatory design, which is intended to gain a better understanding of the relationship between variables. The population in this study amounted to 394 participants from SMEs and joint business groups. Meanwhile, the sample was 197 people and collected using a proportional random sampling technique. The variable measurement was carried out by a questionnaire distributed to respondents, which consisted of thirty-five closed questions. Each question item provides five alternative answers. Furthermore, it is calculated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) undergoing the LISREL 8.80 program. The findings indicated that there was a positive influence of economic attitudes on employees' job satisfaction. Indeed, the positive value coefficient indicates that there is an effect that is directly proportional to economic attitudes toward employees' productive behavior through employee performance satisfaction, namely, the better the economic attitude taken, the higher the productive behavior of employees.

This study explores e-banking variables that affect client satisfaction in the Saudi Arabian banking industry spanning three dimensions: reliability, security concerns, and efficiency, which were chosen as predictors of customer satisfaction in the e-banking industry. A field survey using a self-administered questionnaire as a data collection instrument was adopted to collect the required data from a convenience sample of 250 participants of Saudi banking customers. The overall fit of the hypothesized model was tested using linear regression to find the rate of the independent factors' impact on the dependent variable. The study's findings revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the three dimensions and customer satisfaction in Saudi e-banking, with the largest impact being that of reliability, followed by efficiency, and finally security concerns. Also, the study found there was a significant difference in reliability which was considered more important for Saudis and there was a significant difference in efficiency, which was considered more important by males. The findings of this study suggest that these three dimensions are instrumental in e-banking customer satisfaction and that banks can gain a competitive edge by providing better services in these dimensions to sustain and develop their performance in the increasingly globalized banking industry.

The purpose of the research was to explore the factors which affect service innovation in organizations and how the utilization of resources can improve organizational performance, and gain a competitive advantage by adopting numerous innovative practices. This study hypothesizes Service Innovation Readiness (SIR) to consist of Strategic Alignment favoring Service Innovation (SASI) and Empowering Structure for Service Innovation (ESSI), which regulate the organization's preparedness to adopt service innovation changes. Six dimensions were identified and analyzed to understand their effects on SASI and ESSI. A structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data from the selected hospitals of Saudi Arabia. The research results contribute considerably to the subject matter by theorizing SIR and the complex variable settings essential for embracing SI. This research also provides some understanding of the service innovation management dimension through a complete assessment that measures the organization's readiness and attempts to direct organizations' efforts to achieve and sustain competitive advantage. The study conducted is unique in the current geographic limits and has explored numerous SI areas of an organization's readiness to adopt service innovation.

We propose an adaptive non-singular terminal sliding-mode control for the fast finite-time convergence (FANTSMC) in robot manipulator. The proposed FANTSMC approach is developed to be applied without singularity in robot manipulator, which has a new pole-placement control with the non-singular terminal sliding variable while generating the desirable control torque. Moreover, the switching gain is designed to suppress the time-delayed estimation error appropriately, which aims at providing the high robust tracking performance. Also, the proposed one employs one-sample delayed information to cancel out the system uncertainties and disturbances. For these reasons, it offers strong attraction within the finite time. It is shown that the tracking performance of the proposed FANTSMC approach is guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded through the Lyapunov stability. The effectiveness of the proposed FANTSMC approach is illustrated in simulations, which is compared with that of the up-to-date control approach.

Batteries are widely used for energy storage, such as ESS(Energy Storage System), electric vehicles, electric aircraft, and electric powered ships. Among them, a submarine uses a high power battery for an energy storage. When the battery of a submarine is discharged, a diesel generator generates AC power, and then AC/DC power converter change AC power to DC power for charging the battery. Therefore, in order to lower the current capacity of the diesel generator, it is necessary to use an AC/DC converter with a high input power factor. And, a power converter with a large power capacity must have high stability because it can lead to a major accident when a failure occurs. However, the control algorithm using the traditional PI controller is difficult to satisfy stability and dynamic characteristics. In this paper, we design the high power AC/DC converter with high input power factor for battery charging systems. And, we propose a stable control algorithm. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments.

지진응답제어를 위한 효율적 방법으로 제시된 퍼지관리제어기법은 퍼지에 기반한 의사결정과정을 통하여 가변 제어이득행렬을 구현함으로써 하나의 제어이득만으로 표현되는 선형제어기법보다 개선된 제어성능을 발휘할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 퍼지관리제어기법의 효율성을 하중 및 교량모델의 불확실성에 대한 제어성능의 강인성 측면에서 평가하였다. 강인성 평가에 있어서는 Dyke등이 제시한 벤치마크 교량에 대하여, 최적설계된 LQG기법과 제어성능을 비교하는 방법을 사용하였다. 불확실성을 주는 요인으로는 주파수 특성이 다른 여러 지진가속도의 규모 및 교량의 강성변화를 가정하였다. 최적설계된 LQG 제어기와 제어효과를 비교한 결과, FSC시스템이 지진의 종류와 규모에 따라 보다 작은 전력을 사용하면서도 개선된 제어성능을 발휘하였다. 특히, LQG 제어시스템이 강성변화에 대하여 불안정한 제어성능을 보인 반면, FSC 시스템은 매우 안정적인 응답제어효과를 보이면서도 제어시스템에 소요되는 전력량과 제어장치의 스트로크에 있어서도 큰 변화를 보이지 않음으로써 매우 탁월한 강인성을 보장할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

H.264/AVC의 인터 부호화 기술은, 정교한 움직임 보상 부호화를 위해 다양한 블록 크기의 7가지 모드를, 그리고 인트라 부호화 기술은 2가지의 블록부호화 모드를 사용한다. 이러한 정교한 부호화 기술은 기존 표준에 비해 높은 부호화 효율을 제공 하지만 비트율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용할 경우, 많은 계산량을 요구하므로 연산량이 제한된 장치에서는 실시간 구현에 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 H.264/AVC 부호화 표준의 실시간 구현을 위해서 계산 복잡도를 줄이는 고속 모드 결정법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서 제안한 LBHM(Large Block History Map)을 이용한 블록 크기 활동도 기반 고속 모드 결정 기법은 발생 확률이 낮은 $P8\times8$ 모드를 조기에 생략하여, 부호화 효율의 감소는 최소화 시키면서 H.264/AVC의 전체 부호화 시간을 평균 53% 감소시켰으며, H.264/AVC 참조 모델의 조기 SKIP 모드와 같이 사용할 경우, 전체 부호화 시간을 평균 63% 이상 감소시켰다.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of cimaterol on growth performance, carcass quality and cellular functional activity of broilers as affected by the various protein and energy levels. In starter period (0-21 days) all chicks were fed the basal diet which contained approximately 23 % crude protein and 3200 kcal of metabolizable energy per kg of diet. The cimaterol was added during 22-49 days and during the period of 8th week the cimaterol was withdrawn. In finisher period (22-49 days), a $2{\times}2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement consisting of 2 levels of cimaterol (0 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg), 2 levels of protein (19%, 17%) and 3 levels of energy (3200, 2900, 2600 kcal/kg) was used. In the finisher period, the body weight gain and feed efficiency was improved by the supplementation of cimaterol. The high protein and high energy level with supplementation of cimaterol had showed the highest body weight gain and feed efficiency, without significant difference. The administration of cimaterol had no effects on percentage of abdominal fat content, giblet and neck. Eventhough the difference was not significant (p>0.05), carcass yield was improved slightly by the administration of cimaterol. The effect of cimaterol on carcass composition was clearly demonstrated that protein content of broilers was not increased (p>0.05) but fat content decreased significantly (p<0.05). The ultilization of nutrients in experimental diets was not significantly affected by feeding cimaterol compared to control group. The results of in vitro studies with liver and adipose tissue showed that cimaterol increased the lipolytic activities at 19% protein level whereas at 17% protein level this effect was variable. Lipogenic activities in liver and adipose tissue were not affected with the administration of cimaterol but the activities increased as energy decreased, particularly in liver tissue. In cell studies with acinar culture of liver tissues, cimaterol had no effect on protein synthetic activity but the parameter was increased at higher level of dietary protein and energy. Protein secretion in liver was increased by the supplementation of cimaterol. In addition, at high protein level the protein secretion was increased and has shown the highest values at medium energy level.

기존의 영상 부호화 표준들보다 높은 압축 성능을 얻기 위해 부호화 효율 측면에서 우수한 기술들이 가장 최근에 완성된 영상 부호화 표준인 H.264/AVC에 채택되었다. 가변 블록 단위의 움직임 예측/보상과 다양한 방향성을 통한 화면 내 예측 방법 등의 영상 부호화 기술들의 발달에도 불구하고, 이산 여현 변환은 초기 영상 부호화 표준에서부터 계속적으로 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 실제 영상 신호가 부호화될 때 생성되는 잔여 신호의 상관 계수 값은 0.5 미만이다. 하지만, 이러한 상관 계수 값의 범위는 이산 여현 변환이 최적의 성능을 나타내는 범위가 아니며, 상관 계수의 범위가 -0.5에서 0.5일 경우 차선의 변환인 이산 정현 변환이 이산 여현 변환과 함께 영상 호화에 사용될 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이산 정현 변환과 H.264/AVC에서의 정수 여현 변환 중 최적의 변환을 율-왜곡 최적화 과정을 이용하여 선택적으로 사용하는 선택 변환을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법을 통해 H.264/AVC의 JM 10.2와 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 비트율에서 최대 0.71 dB의 BD-PSNR 향상을 얻을 수가 있었다.
