In this paper, we study the relation between the energy consumption and the stability in several typical car-following traffic models considering the effects of many-neighbor and non-locality and relative velocity, respectively. The comparison of energy consumption with respect to the stable...

Despite significant improvements in nominal levels, severe gaps of digital inclusion still exist in the American economy. This paper argues that, for certain groups, migration towards mobile computing and digital inclusion may transpire from 2G voice centric mobile telecommunications to data...

As a country mostly surrounded by water, Korea has good potential for offshore wind energy utilization. With offshore wind turbines growing larger and with increasing water depth, jacket structures are attracting increased attention because they appear to be cost-effective, but they are still at...

As a country mostly surrounded by water, Korea plans to build a massive offshore wind farm off the west coast by 2019. Due to the different seabed condition, wind turbine with jacket foundation is considered as a suitable choice for the intermediate water depths so far. And preliminary work is...

This research compares Chinese HRM with Western HRM, particularly in the areas of development of HR information systems (HRIS) and HR measurement systems and their relation to HR’s involvement as a strategic partner in firms. The research uses a 3-stage model of HRIS (workforce profiling,...

Korea has huge potential for offshore wind energy and the first Korean offshore wind farm has been initiated off the southwest coast. With increasing water depth, different substructures of the offshore wind turbine, such as the jacket and multipile, are the increasing focus of attention because...

The standard optimal hedging model has been the preferred theoretical model of normative hedging behavior. In empirical applications, the model is often implemented with the parameter certainty equivalent (PCE) procedure. However, the PCE procedure completely ignores parameter estimation risk...

This dissertation studies the dynamic decision making process in E-commerce. In the first essay, we use eye tracking to investigate how consumers make information acquisition decisions on attribute-by-product matrices in online choice environment such as comparison websites. Hierarchical Hidden...
