In order to induce users to purchase excellent products in the water industry that satisfy the technical standards of excellent products, in this study, it is to present the advantages of the cost aspect of the pumps as the objective basis. It will be to promote technology development of domestic water companies and to create a virtuous cycle structure in the water industry. In order to present an objective basis for the merits in terms of cost, an economic evaluation was conducted through life cycle cost analysis. For the LCC analysis, initial cost (pump cost and installation cost), operation cost (energy cost and maintenance cost) and demolition cost (disposal cost and residual value) are searched and calculated. As the results of comparison on two capacity of pumps, the energy cost of the excellent pump is 212 million KRW lower than the that of general pump in the large pump. The cost of excellent pump was 17 million KRW lower than that of general pump in small capacity pump. As the results of sensibility test, if the product is developed in the direction of improving pump efficiency and increasing the replacement cycle of consumables, it is predicted that the effect on LCC will be large.

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from Kangwon National University was estimated to be 21,054 ton $CO_2$-eq in 2009, which was approximately 7% higher than that in 2005. Emissions from electricity usage in Scope 2 contributed to the upward annual trend of GHG emissions, comprising about 54.3% of the total GHG emissions. On the other hand, GHG emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 3 contributed approximately 25.3% and 20.4%, respectively. Various GHG reduction plans were also introduced and evaluated in this study. Among three reduction plans including LED substitution, improvement of transportation efficiency, and green campus action plan, the green campus action plan derived the most significant GHG reduction of 5.3% of total emissions. Estimated total reduced GHG emission was $1,570ton\;CO_2-eq\;yr^{-1}$ with all three reduction plans.

A survey was carried out regarding university students' recognition of high-caffeine energy drinks in an effort to identify and improve problems as well as provide basic data. Most of the subjects had previous experience of energy drink consumption. Studies showed that most students consumed energy drinks when studying. Regarding frequency of energy drink consumption, most students' responded "1~6 times a year"; female students showed lower frequency of energy drink consumption than male students. Both male and female students used convenience stores to purchase energy drinks. In most cases, students became aware of energy drinks through advertisements on TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines. The most important factor affecting their energy drink purchase and consumption status was taste. The most frequent adverse effect they experienced after drinking an energy drink was unusual heart-pounding, whereas the biggest problem caused by energy drink consumption was addiction. This study indicates that students should have a better understanding of the problems associated with excessive and prolonged high-caffeine intake. In addition, instructions for proper purchasing and consumption of high-caffeine energy drinks should be provided as well as education and campaigns concerning symptoms caused by high-caffeine energy drink consumption so that students may refrain from excessive consumption. Further, civil organizations and the government need to devise effective measures for proper regulation of high-caffeine energy drink consumption.

Recent international environmental regulations are focused on reducing pre-contamination and on sustainable development prior to the usage stage of a product. The Environmental Performance Declaration is being used as a tool for quantifying the environmental performance of products, to reduce contamination in advance, and for advertising the results of railway vehicles in Europe. In this study, a life cycle assessment of the tilting train was conducted, the first such case study in Korea, according to the ISO 14025 standard and Korea EDP (Environmental Declaration of the Product) rule. As a result of the LCA, the life cycle carbon emission of the tilting train was determined to be $3.54{\times}10^7kgCO_2eq.$ which is higher than that of a European train. Also, the amount of $CO_2$ emission of the Mcp and car body is higher than that of the other car and bogie.

According to recent studies, the location of visual information has a significant impact on consumers' interpretation and judgment in various contexts. In particular, vertical positioning is relevant to the perception of weight: consumers tend to interpret that products are heavier when information is placed at the bottom of a page or section rather than the top. This is due to the common perception that heavy things would sink to the bottom and light things would float up. Consistent with this research stream, the current study investigates how the vertical location of freebie information influences promotion evaluation. We hypothesize that consumers assume that the complimentary product is heavier when the information about it is displayed at the bottom compared to when the information is displayed at the top. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment 1, we show how the location of "get one free" information impacts the evaluation of the sales promotion in a "Buy two and get one free" context. When the complimentary information was displayed below rather than above the main product information, consumers evaluated the sales promotion more favorably. Experiment 2 tests the generalizability of the vertical location effect by using a different type of information and product: a visual picture of vitamin tablets rather than the numeric information as in Experiment 1. The dependent variable was also extended to the perceived amount of the promoted product. We suggest the boundary condition that the proposed effect is moderated by the presence or absence of an explicit message about the amount. Without an explicit message about the amount of the product, the results were similar to those of experiment 1 in that consumers perceived that the product offered a greater amount when the complimentary information was displayed at the bottom rather than at the top. However, the location effect disappeared with an explicit message about the amount. This confirms the moderating effect that presenting an explicit message about the amount is a crucial boundary condition for location effect in a value added promotion. Marketers can use this knowledge to formulate strategies in a variety of sales promotion conditions.

In order to attract consumers in the advertisement media and large discount marts, there needs to be a strong brandimage with a competitive and distinctive packing design. This study recognized the importance of packing designs and investigated consumers' preference for brands depending on packing designs of drinks in order to draw out consumers' positive attitudes toward the brand. The consumers feel that there are more fruit content in the drink that expresses its ingredients realistically than the drink that expresses its ingredients unrealistically on the packing design. The study also examined the consumers' preference for brands depending on their interests in well-being and the expression in the packing designs. In result, the difference was statistically significant. The study investigated the most preferred container for drinks was glass bottles and the most preferred orange juice was the fruit 100% content. Therefore, the expressions of ingredients of drinks and their interests in well-being were the difference in consumers' preference in brands and purchase intention. It had effects on the fruit content.

호박은 다른 과채류에 비해 기후조건에 대한 적용범위가 넓고, 한국의 기후 풍토하에서 잠재생산 가능성이 대단히 높은 작목의 하나로 간주되고 있으며, 다른 박과 채소보다 병이 심하지 않고 약재를 살포할 필요가 거의 없으므로 무공해 식품으로도 그 가치가 높은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 최근 국민 식생활 패턴이 고급화 됨에 따라 건강을 중요시하는 소비자가 급증하면서 약품이 아닌 식품으로 인체의 조절기능에 초점이 맞춘 다양한 기능성 식품이 생산되고 있는 실정이며, 이 중 녹황색 채소류의 항산화, 항암효과가 알려지고 있어 늙은 호박을 이용한 새로운 형태의 가공제품은 향후 소비자의 구매욕구를 충동하기에 충분할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이러한 호박을 이용하여 가공제품을 생산하기 위한 기초자료로서 추출조건에 따른 품질변화를 모니터링하고자 하였다. 호박의 전처리의 경우 박피유무에 큰 차이가 없으므로 공정단계를 최소화하기 위해 박피를 하지 않고 사용하였으며, 파쇄의 형태는 깍둑썰기(4$\times$4$\times$4㎤)를 하여 추출조건에 사용하였다. 추출온도의 경우 호박자체의 색을 유지하는데 효율적인 95$^{\circ}C$에서 행하였다. 시료에 대한 용매비 및 추출시간에 따른 품질의 변화가 많으므로 시료에 대한 용매비(10, 20, 30, 40 50g/100$m\ell$) 및 추출시간(1, 2, 3, 4, 5 hr)에 따른 중심합성실험계획으로 추출하였다. 추출조건에 따른 추출물에 대하여 수율, 당도, 갈색도 및 탁도를 측정하여 시료에 대한 용매비 및 추출시간에 따른 반응표면분석을 실시하였다. 영향도를 분석한 결과 수율은 추출시간에 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 총당 및 갈색도는 시료에 대한 용매비에 영향을 많이 받으며 탁도의 경우 두 조건 모두에 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났다. 수율에 대한 최적 추출조건은 호박량 10.03% 및 추출시간 2.89hr일 때 가장 높은 수율로 예측이 되었으며, 갈색도의 경우 호박량 15.21% 및 추출시간 1.65hr에서 최소로 나타났다.

A recommender system supports people in making recommendations finding a set of people who are likely to provide good recommendations for a given person, or deriving recommendations from implicit behavior such as browsing activity, buying patterns, and time on task. We proposed new recommender system which combined SOM(Self-Organizing Map) neural networks with the Collaborative filtering which most recommender systems hat applied First, we segmented user groups according to demographic characteristics and then we trained the SOM with people's preferences as ito inputs. Finally we applied the classic collaborative filtering to the clustering with similarity in which an recommendation seeker belonged to, and therefore we didn't have to apply the collaborative filtering to the whose data set. Experiments were run for EachMovies data set. The results indicated that the predictive accuracy was increased in terms of MAE(Mean-Absolute-Error).

The electronic stores have realized that they need to understand their customers and to quickly response their wants and needs. To be successful in increasingly competitive Internet marketplace, recommender systems are adapting data mining techniques. One of most successful recommender technologies is collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm which recommends products to a target customer based on the information of other customers and employ statistical techniques to find a set of customers known as neighbors. However, the application of the systems, however, is not very suitable for seasonal products which are sensitive to time or season such as refrigerator or seasonal clothes. In this paper, we propose a new adjusted item-based recommendation generation algorithms called the exponentially weighted collaborative filtering recommendation (EWCFR) one that computes item-item similarities regarding seasonal products. Finally, we suggest the recommendation system with relatively high quality computing time on main memory database (MMDB) in XML since the collaborative filtering systems are needed that can quickly produce high quality recommendations with very large-scale problems.
